Ye Guoqiang handed him a cigarette, then lit one for himself, filling the study with smoke.
“Xiao Chen, as long as you help Si Kong, I’m sure the Wang family will accept you. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Si Yu has left the Wang family now. If they really intervene, your love will probably not last.”
"You need to understand that the Wang family is a huge family. In this society, the first generation of rich people are called nouveau riche, the second generation are called rich, the third generation are called wealthy merchants, the ninth generation are called a family, and the twelfth generation are called a family of distinguished families."
Chen Ze is currently just a kid from the countryside. He knows that although he has some money, it is still not enough in front of people with power. If he wants to have an equal dialogue with them, he still needs to climb up the social ladder.
Before they knew it, the two had been talking in the study for an hour and a half.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Ye Guoqiang is a man of few words.
"Click!" The study door opened. "Honey, dinner is ready. Come out and eat."
Ye Guoqiang stubbed out his cigarette, got up and walked outside, with Chen Ze following closely behind.
At the dinner table, the family enjoyed the delicious food. Chen Ze poured wine for Ye Guoqiang and Ye Qijun, and the three of them had a few drinks.
"Qijun, after the New Year, go to Hengli Town in Dongguan City to take up your post. Spend a few years honing your skills at the grassroots level. Don't go back to running that lousy resort of yours. If you get involved in those shady things, someone might use it against you, and I'll be implicated."
"Okay, Dad, I'll do whatever you say."
After dinner, the family chatted for an hour before Chen Ze and his companion got up to leave.
Before leaving, my aunt gave them a lot of candy to take home.
Standing by the window, watching the Bugatti leave, Ye Guoqiang sighed: "This Xiao Chen is very good at making money, but suddenly going from poor to rich, his mind is not mature enough and he needs more training."
My wife smiled slightly and said, "Who doesn't start as a novice and then gradually grow?"
Ye Xiaoman retorted, "Sun Wukong could defeat anyone around him as soon as he sprang from a stone."
Her mother glared at her: "That's fiction. There's no such person in real life."
Ye Qijun: ...
The following day, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, migrant workers from other places began to travel from their hometowns to Guangdong Province. All the highways in the southern provinces bordering Guangdong were packed with vehicles.
With the return of workers, many factories and businesses in Shenzhen have resumed production, and shops on the streets have begun to reopen one by one.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiangya Battery Company resumed production.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, White Rabbit electric motorcycles resumed production.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, LeiYun Power Bank Company resumed production.
On the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, all employees of Panda Takeaway Company had arrived and returned to their respective posts.
On that day, Chen Ze and Wang Kaicheng convened a plenary meeting and delivered important speeches.
Chen Ze simply explained that Panda is a service industry, and the main focus is on how to provide a good user experience and actively communicate with merchants.
After finishing these two points, he left the rest to Wang Kaicheng and Yun Ruoxi. After stepping down from the podium, he went straight back to his office.
As soon as he sat down, Secretary Shen brought him a cup of hot coffee.
"Secretary Shen, how are the US stock and gold prices trending?"
"Boss, gold in the US has already risen by $1,450 per ounce."
Chen Ze picked up his coffee and took a small sip.
The phone on the table rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was a call from Hu Baiyan, his savior.
He pressed the answer button: "Hey, Brother Baiyan, have you come down yet after the New Year?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Brother Chen, I just arrived at the Nanshan District Bus Terminal in Shenzhen."
"Brother Baiyan, wait for me at the station for ten minutes, and I'll drive over to pick you up."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, he opened his contacts and found Lan Shuiyao's number to call.
The call was quickly answered: "Hello, Mr. Lan, have you come down from home to the company yet?"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Boss, I'm already working on the 23rd floor."
"It's good that we've arrived. Come downstairs and come out with me right away."
"Oh, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ze put the notebook on the table into his backpack and then instructed, "Secretary Shen, let's go out for a bit."
Shen Xiyu walked ahead and opened the office door for him. Then, the two of them entered the elevator one after the other.
I glanced at my wrist; it was already 9:30 in the morning.
A moment later, the two stepped out of the elevator and walked to the door.
Zhao Youde opened the back door for him, and Chen Ze and Secretary Shen got in, only to find that Lan Shuiyao was already sitting in the car.
All three sat in the back, with Chen Ze sandwiched between the two women, unable to move.
"Uncle De, go to the bus station to pick someone up."
The car quickly left Nanshan Building.
The two women's perfumes smelled particularly strong in the cramped space of the car; they smelled very nice, somewhat like jasmine.
"Mr. Lan, what perfume are you wearing? It smells so good."
"Does it smell good? I'm using Chanel Floral Fruity Fresh."
After saying that, she deliberately leaned closer to Chen Ze, as if afraid that he wouldn't be able to smell her fragrance.
Chen Ze said irritably, "President Lan, the car is already small, and you're still squeezing in on me. That's too much."
Lan Shuiyao turned around and smiled: "President Chen, you just said you like the smell of me, so I'm trying to get as close to you as possible."
Chen Ze gently pushed her away: "President Lan, stay away from me, or I'll feel uncomfortable all over."
He was a normal young man, and young people are naturally full of masculinity, so how could he resist her temptation?
