Chapter 6
Encountering three times in one day was just a small episode. Rong Susu forced herself to forget Cheng Huaian. The best way was to devote herself to work.
The divorce caught her off guard, but Cheng Huaian was also generous. All the properties under her name belonged to her, as well as the equity transfer, real estate and working capital of the Liming Group.
But sometimes Rong Susu would regret letting go too quickly and signing so casually for the sake of face.
She should have kept Cheng Huaian for a while longer. Considering that Cheng Huaian didn't want to be her husband for even a day longer and Cui Ying was forcing him to abdicate, maybe she could have gotten more benefits.
She founded this media art company three years ago as a hobby because she was too bored. It used to be a tool to kill time, but now it is an important channel for realizing the value of life, so she puts in her utmost effort every day.
"Mr. Rong, Fang Xianze said he's busy with the Grand Prix and training and doesn't have time to return home. They're not very interested in this matter."
Huang Yingying has already contacted Fang Xianze's team. Fang Xianze's agent is his mother Linda Fang, a strong middle-aged woman.
Highly educated, from a wealthy family, an only daughter, divorced, smart and capable, and with a certain desire for control.
Based on Huang Yingying's many years of experience, she is definitely not someone who is easy to approach unless her core interests are touched.
"Have you proposed the treatment we can give him? Where is Ms. Fang?"
Rong Susu took a sip of American coffee, her daily morning habit to eliminate edema and refresh herself. She moved the pen, quickly glanced at the signed document handed to her by her assistant, and asked the person opposite without raising her head.
"Not yet. She's in the UK, and we're afraid that if we tell her the terms directly, they'll ask for exorbitant amounts. So I only gave her a relatively conservative number." Huang Yingying is cautious; she has her own concerns.
She had just arrived at the company and hadn't found her feet yet, but the Financial Director Zhang Zhihe had already given her problems several times, blocking their department's reimbursements, saying they exceeded the department's budget, and constantly crying poor.
Hiring Fang Xianze this time is also a considerable expense. If the expectations are not met and the company's financial situation is affected, she will probably have to pack up and leave.
She came from the rival Dawn Group, which was considered a betrayal of her former boss. She definitely couldn't go back, so she had no choice but to go ahead with it, which was also very stressful.
Good, very good.
"You haven't shown any sincerity and you don't even talk about the price. People might think you're a liar. Why should they agree to you? Are they overwhelmed by your charm?" Rong Susu spoke rudely.
She is not a salesperson, nor a public relations officer, nor a finance officer. She is the boss. She hires people not to throw problems to her, but to let them solve problems.
"Mr. Rong, I..."
Huang Yingying hesitated to speak. She wanted to take the opportunity to sue Zhang Zhihe, but Zhang Zhihe had been in the company much longer than her and had always been the financial director, which meant that he was deeply trusted by Rong Susu. If she rashly reported him, she would end up losing more than she gained.
"I don't want to hear your reasons. What I want is a solution." Rong Susu ended the conversation decisively. She needed capable generals. Employees who only knew how to complain were worthless.
Huang Yingying left the office helplessly and somewhat disappointed, and happened to meet a round, fat face at the door.
"Oh, Director Huang is reporting on his work." It was Zhang Zhihe. A hypocritical smile was piled on his fat, round face, giving him the greasy feeling of a middle-aged man.
He had been waiting outside the door, which was ajar just now. Huang Yingying was glad that she didn't speak rashly.
***
It is not an easy thing to negotiate with Fang Xianze's team. After all, they are very popular, while they are just a small and unknown company in the industry. Rong Susu did not expect to get rich overnight, but as long as she works hard, she will be able to make a good thing. She believes that hard work will always pay off.
"Mr. Rong, the flush toilet in your office is broken. Someone will come to fix it this morning. You may have to use the staff restroom today."
The executive director came to explain in person. It was really a shame that he had personally chosen the most expensive toilet, but it broke while he was using it. He thought he would be scolded, but unexpectedly Rong Susu agreed with a smile.
Rong Susu is a bit of a germaphobe and has high requirements for the bathroom. I originally thought it was okay not to go to the bathroom all morning, but I don’t know if it was because of the coffee I drank, but I wanted to go to the bathroom without drinking much water.
"Have you received your bill?" A female voice sounded outside the cubicle. Although the voice was lowered, there was some echo in the bathroom, so Rong Susu could still hear it clearly.
"Don't mention it. Ever since Director Huang took office, I haven't failed to report a single cent." Another female voice had a noticeably aggressive tone.
Something is happening. It is not convenient for Rong Susu to go out now, so she continues to sit on the toilet and is "forced" to listen to office gossip.
"Ms. Rong has already signed it, why won't they report it to us?"
"Tsk, what's the point of President Rong signing? President Zhang didn't sign either. You said Huang Yingying had to offend someone else, but she had to offend Zhang Zhihe first!"
"I've already paid 50,000 yuan and can't even pay the rent this month. If it continues like this, we might as well just have a fight. At worst, we'll just break up and quit." Meng Jia said harshly.
Rong Susu vaguely recognized that the girl who spoke a little harshly should be Meng Jiahao from the public relations department. She was quite capable, and she was also optimistic about this girl.
She finally understood that Huang Yingying and Zhang Zhihe had a bad relationship, and Zhang Zhihe was making things difficult for their public relations department.
Directors often have conflicts, and Rong Susu can't interfere in everything. As long as it doesn't come to the surface, she will just turn a blind eye.
But this time Zhang Zhihe was too bold. He even dared not to report the reimbursement form she had signed, completely disregarding her as the general manager.
I didn't expect that even though the flush toilet in the office was broken, there was a pleasant surprise.
The Finance Department and the General Manager's Office are not on the same floor, so Zhang Zhihe doesn't need to be watched by his superiors. He is happy to relax in his office.
He doesn't have any other hobbies except listening to classical music. He has collected quite a few vinyl records and plays a piece in his office in his free time.
There were two "Dangdang" sounds as someone knocked gently on the office door.
"Come in!" The music was playing at its most exciting part when it was suddenly interrupted. Zhang Zhihe was not very happy, but he could not pretend that he was not in the office, so he could only call someone in.
When Huang Yingying came into the Finance Department area, she clearly felt that the atmosphere was two different from that of her Public Relations Department.
The public relations department is always noisy, either talking to clients or chatting, while the finance department is very quiet. If it weren't for the music Zhang Zhihe played and the sound of keyboard typing, she would have thought there was no one here.
And unlike their brand managers who all dress up fancy, the employees in the finance department, both men and women, don't care about their appearance. They look like they are from two completely different companies.
"Hey, Director Huang, what brings you here?"
Zhang Zhihe's face was all smiles. No matter he was angry or happy, he always had a smile on his face, so people nicknamed him the Smiling Tiger.
"Director Zhang, I'm here for two things." Huang Yingying also smiled and first took out a beautifully packaged vinyl record. "I heard you like collecting records. I got this from a friend. I wonder if it will suit your taste?"
She spent a lot of money to buy this antique record from someone else.
Rong Susu was right. She was a director hired at a high salary. It was incompetent for her to ask the general manager to solve any problem. She should try to get along well with Zhang Zhihe.
Sure enough, a hint of surprise flashed across the other person's eyes, and then a burst of delighted light burst out, "Oh my, Director Huang, you are so thoughtful. I have been looking for this record for a long time!"
A greasy smile appeared on Zhang Zhihe's face, like the greasy liquid on the leftover vegetable juice. He changed the subject and said, "No merit, no reward. I wonder what Director Huang is here for today?"
Half an hour later, Huang Yingying came out of Zhang Zhihe's office with a dark face, looking even more disgusting than if she had eaten a fly.
"Director, how's it going? When will the Finance Department reimburse us?"
Seeing Huang Yingying coming back, Meng Jiahao quickly hung up the phone, picked up the iPad, pretended to report work and followed Huang Yingying into the office.
"They haven't given in yet." Huang Yingying picked up a tissue and wiped her hands vigorously, as if something was stuck on her hands, and the backs of her hands were rubbed red.
"Did Zhang Zhihe try to take advantage of you?" Meng Jia sneered. Zhang Zhihe seemed to enjoy taking advantage of others, always taking advantage of them. Whenever someone asked him to sign a reimbursement, he would take advantage of them. Many female employees were so angry that they dared not speak out.
But she still underestimated this man's shamelessness. She didn't expect that he would dare to touch a director like Huang Yingying. He was really lawless.
"It's okay. I made him pay the price." Huang Yingying snorted, her face full of disgust.
Just now, while she wasn't paying attention, Zhang Zhihe, that fat pig, pretended to get her water and pour her tea, but actually went around behind her and wanted to touch her, but she slapped him in the face.
Brave, Wuwei!
Meng Jiahao admired Huang Yingying a little. She was originally dissatisfied with this paratrooper, and since she came, everyone in the public relations department had to eat dirt, and she had not solved the problem.
However, this slap in the face was a mixed blessing. The good thing was that it was quite satisfying, at least it was a relief for the majority of female employees. The bad thing was that the budget issue was completely hopeless.
"Mr. Huang, what should we do next?" Meng Jiahao asked worriedly.
She was in charge of liaising with Fang Xianze's team. Thanks to her tireless efforts, they finally relented yesterday and asked for a specific price. She kept it a secret, promising a satisfactory answer, and was still waiting to hear back today.
Now that this has happened, what should I do? Meng Jia feels that her already small amount of hair is going to go bald, and she feels sad that her relationship with her idol is about to end before it even begins.
