Tang Ping retorted, "What's wrong with my clothes? What do you mean by 'mature'?"
Chen Shuting rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "At the very least, you should wear a suit, tie, and watch, right? Especially a watch, it's a symbol of status. Have you ever seen a big boss wearing a big gold chain? Isn't that just plain tacky?"
You know what, clothes really do make the man.
Tang Ping, dressed in a suit and leather shoes and wearing a tie, looked quite the part of a successful man after tidying himself up a bit.
Moreover, he looked much more energetic and refined.
Back at Maple Forest Garden, Tang Ping looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Hehe, in terms of taste, you're definitely right."
"Now you realize who's truly good to you, right?"
Chen Shuting said irritably as she went to the kitchen to make soup.
Tang Ping originally planned to stay for dinner and leave the next day, but he couldn't because Lin Yuan was urging him to stay, and Bai Xiaojie had been back for several days and was waiting for him.
After receiving the call, Tang Ping was about to leave.
Chen Shuting said, "Why don't you eat before you leave?"
"Just leave me some soup, I'll definitely be back tonight."
Tang Ping said this and hurriedly went downstairs.
Inside the office of a trading company.
Tang Ping sat in the boss's chair, with Lin Yuan to his left, handing him documents one by one for him to sign.
On the right is Bai Xiaojie, who keeps muttering to herself, "Boss, you're so irresponsible! The first thing you do after coming back isn't to come to the company, but to go shopping. Oh, and you're wearing designer clothes. You look like a boss now, and you're even kind of handsome."
Tang Ping said speechlessly, "Sister Bai Jie, could you please not disturb me while I'm signing? Look, I just wrote Tang Ping as Bai Jie."
"My name is Bai Xiaojie, thank you!"
Bai Xiaojie said with a proud expression.
It took Tang Ping half an hour to finally sign all the required documents.
Beside her, Bai Xiaojie said, "Boss, the German company Sophie has agreed to cooperate with us on the condition of three million. They can provide technical support for aldehyde-scented shower gel and shampoo, which I think is a great deal. Since the millennium, our GDP growth rate has maintained a long-term rapid growth, and the middle class has also grown up. This new middle class will inevitably have new requirements for necessities. For example, upgrading the product categories and pursuing luxury."
Tang Ping twirled the pen in his hand and pondered, "Three million, that's really outrageous. We, Yu Xue Qing, have our own brand; we're just using his name."
“There’s nothing we can do about it. After I went abroad this time, I found that European daily chemical products are far ahead of ours. And many foreign brands are making moves to enter the Asian market, such as Procter & Gamble, Iluka, Lux, and so on,” Bai Xiaojie said.
Upgrading daily chemical products is inevitable; if we stand still, we'll be driven out of the market.
In the future, there will be more and more brands on daily chemical products. Although Yuxueqing has gained brand awareness and has good sales, it is definitely not enough to rely on just one Yuxueqing soap.
Tang Ping thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, agree to his request and transfer the money. Set up the daily chemical company as soon as possible, and I suggest that the daily chemical factory be located in Mang Village as well. You will be in charge of this matter. However, this time we need to keep a low profile and there's no need for any ceremonies or anything like that."
"Okay, boss."
Tang Ping glanced at Lin Yuan and asked, "How are the sales of Yuxueqing soap going?"
"Orders are pouring in!"
Lin Yuan smiled and handed over a factory order form, saying, "Since the advertisement featuring Fan Xiaobing aired on TV, it has been very effective, and the market has always been in short supply. Many distributors have come to the factory from all over the country, and the trucks to pick up the goods are parked at the factory gate, forming a long line."
"Yes, both of our production lines are operating 24/7, and even with continuous production, we can't keep up with demand. The Yuxueqing soaps we produce haven't even been packaged in the warehouse yet, and they're already being snapped up. It's incredibly busy, boss, you're going to make a fortune!" Bai Xiaojie laughed.
The large number of orders brought a steady stream of money into Tang Ping's pocket.
Tang Ping was quite satisfied with this. Although he was not in Jinghai, Bai Xiaojie and Lin Yuan were in the company, and Li Aiguo was the factory manager, so he basically didn't have to worry about anything.
"As long as I make money, you'll all get your share of the year-end bonus. By the way, keep an eye on the factory. No matter how busy it is, make sure to prioritize safety in production. Implement an eight-hour, three-shift system, and make sure to provide adequate overtime pay, especially for those working the night shift. Provide them with a late-night snack and a larger allowance. No one can withhold any of this money from the workers," Tang Ping said seriously.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I will mention this to the factory manager."
With most things settled, Tang Ping simply handed over the company registration and capital injection to Bai Xiaojie to handle.
Just then, my cousin Song Lijun finished her studies and successfully obtained her graduation certificate and accountant certificate.
Tang Ping directly asked her to come to the company and learn how to do things from Bai Xiaojie and Lin Yuan.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of my finances. There are no small matters when it comes to finances, and you need to be fair and impartial. However, don't put too much pressure on yourself; take your time and learn how to do it." Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Tang Ping called Song Lijun into his office and gave her these instructions.
Song Lijun nodded and said, "Thank you, cousin."
"No need to thank me, go ahead and get busy."
Tang Ping smiled, got up, and left the company.
With his cousin Song Lijun at the company, he felt much more at ease.
Looking at the time, it was already past 8 p.m. Tang Ping felt a little helpless. He definitely wouldn't have time to check on the internet cafe and KTV, so he decided to go back first.
Maple Forest Garden.
When Tang Ping returned, only Chen Shuting was in the living room, watching TV with a bored expression.
"Is Xiaochen asleep?" Tang Ping asked.
Chen Shuting quickly stood up and said, "Hmm, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go heat up some food for you."
Tang Ping was really hungry, and he wolfed down his food as soon as it was served.
Chen Shuting stopped watching TV and sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hand and watching him eat.
"Why are you looking at me?" Tang Ping asked somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Shuting asked with a smile, "Didn't anything happen during your trip to Kyoto?"
"What could possibly happen, you idiot? I'm just on business."
For some reason, Tang Ping felt a little guilty and quickly said...
"I know you went there on business. Fan Xiaobing is quite pretty, and she's a celebrity with outstanding temperament. As her sugar daddy, didn't you treat her to a meal or something?"
"I'm not that kind of person. Cooperation is cooperation, but how could I use such underhanded tactics to take advantage of someone? Hey, what do you think of the advertising effect?"
Tang Ping quickly changed the subject.
Chen Shuting said, "The slogan 'Bathing in snow, pure as jade and clear as ice' is catchy and has now become deeply ingrained in people's minds."
