Chapter 864: Instead of seizing power, you might as well go for a spa
“.”
Fortunately, looking at the steaks ordered by several people, Qi Baoying silently calculated the price and felt that his little treasury could still afford it.
However, it was the male classmate who ordered the lowest-priced set meal that impressed her.
There is nothing wrong with eating a Chinese set meal at a Western restaurant. Saving money is the key.
"Teacher Qi, how should we write our graduation thesis?"
While eating pre-meal snacks, Shi Mingxia asked about the direction of the graduation thesis, and Wang Min also looked over with concern.
For the two girls who were experiencing graduation thesis design for the first time, it was still a little exciting.
After all, entering the graduation thesis design process means that they are about to end their four-year college life and officially enter the society.
Just like people in the ivory tower, they all yearn for the colorful world outside and fantasize about how they can reach the pinnacle of life and live a beautiful and happy life.
Only those who have experienced the ups and downs of society want to return to the pressure-free ivory tower, but unfortunately it is too late to go back by then.
"In two days, I will send you several papers. Each of you will choose one and translate 2,000 words of English."
Everyone was of similar age, and Qi Baoying did not put on airs as a mentor. He introduced the content and precautions of the graduation thesis design to several people.
Compared to Zhou Anan's ignorance and laziness in her previous life, Shi Mingxia and the others were obviously much more serious, and the questions they asked were quite relevant.
During this lunch, except for Zhou Anan, who had experience, didn't care about the graduation thesis, and had already assumed that he would be admitted to graduate school, the other three people spent more time chatting than eating steak.
"How much is Box 2?"
Qi Baoying secretly walked out of the box under the pretext of going to the bathroom and came to the front desk to prepare to pay the bill, so as to avoid being overtaken by that male classmate again.
We agreed that she would treat us today, and I couldn’t break my promise no matter how expensive it was.
Otherwise, the meal would be owed for a long time and it would be impossible to treat the guests in Hangzhou.
"Hello, VIP. Mr. Zhou's VIP card is free of charge and does not require payment."
Seeing that the other party wanted to pay for Box No. 2, the female cashier explained with a smile.
"All for free? Okay, thank you."
When Qi Baoying heard that she didn't have to pay, she was stunned for a moment, then felt happy about her wallet, but also a little disappointed.
I didn't expect that this male classmate had such a high VIP level and could eat Western food for free. However, thinking of Qi Baoying's last experience at the golf club, I was not too surprised.
However, the meal that I owe to the other party will have to be postponed again.
Why is it so difficult to invite someone to dinner?
“Enjoy your meal.”
With the waiter's respectful farewell, Qi Baoying, who had previously used the excuse of going to the bathroom, returned to the box.
"I'll call the other three over later, and we'll have a small meeting to finalize the division of labor."
When they went downstairs to the parking lot together, Qi Baoying, who was about to get in the car, talked about the first step of the arrangement.
"OK."
The two cars drove back to the school one after the other, and the other three girls in the same group were already waiting in Teacher Qi's office.
As expected, all the team members from other majors were girls. Zhou Anan had a vague impression of them, mainly because they were not very pretty and she could not remember any of their names.
This made Zhou Anan feel deeply malicious. If he wanted to do experiments for his graduation thesis, he couldn't ask girls to come over in the middle of the night to add water. Did he want him to come alone?
What a joke.
If the other girls were prettier and had boyfriends to take their place, it would be fine. But I guess none of these three have boyfriends.
Otherwise, why was there no one running errands in the previous life?
".This is the general process. I will appoint a team leader and let him arrange the specific matters. How about this, let Shi Mingxia be the team leader. Mingxia, you create a TT group so that everyone can contact each other more conveniently."
After briefly introducing the six people in the same group, Qi Baoying talked about the process of the graduation thesis.
When talking about the selection of group leader, Qi Baoying's eyes stayed on the only male classmate who was playing with his mobile phone and texting for two seconds, and finally chose Shi Mingxia as the group leader.
She was well aware of how busy this male classmate was. Her good friend Cheng Zhen had complained to her many times about how many times he had asked for leave. But considering that he had waived her bill today, she decided not to make things difficult for him.
"OK."
When he heard that he was asked to be the team leader, Shi Mingxia did not refuse and accepted it readily.
Throughout the whole process, Zhou Anan was the quietest and did not communicate with the other three girls who were not in this major at all until the end of the meeting.
There is no need to get too familiar with female classmates who are not pretty.
After accompanying his girlfriend to two classes in the afternoon, Zhou Anan took a bus to Hangzhou.
Tomorrow is the last day of May, which is also Saturday, the day when the charity gala is held.
Perhaps it was scheduled for Saturday night because they were afraid that Sunday would conflict with Children's Day. Sitting in the car, Zhou Anan thought with a sense of humor about the reason why the organizers chose this day.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
When Zhou Anan arrived at the Mingliu Group headquarters, she looked at the time and saw that it was already 6:30 in the afternoon. She casually asked the beautiful secretary who came to greet her.
"not yet."
Huang Ying, who was well prepared, shook her head.
Having calculated the big boss's schedule, Huang Ying knew how to eat in advance. This was the caution that a director of the president's office should have.
What if the big boss is in a good mood and asks her to have dinner with him, and she can't eat, it would be so embarrassing.
"Then let the restaurant work overtime and we can just eat something."
Seeing that the beautiful secretary hadn't eaten either, Zhou Anan made arrangements for dinner.
There was no other way. He had a meeting scheduled with CEO Qi and others at 7 o'clock tonight, and he couldn't let others wait any longer.
As for holding meetings during overtime hours, that does not exist for CEOs and others who own shares.
Originally, Zhou Anan wanted to postpone the meeting to Saturday morning, but was persuaded by the CEO.
The specific plan will be finalized tonight, and tomorrow there will be a meeting with several shareholders including TX and Excalibur Capital. The CEO's schedule is more important than that of a hands-off boss like him.
"Our group's restaurant is open until seven o'clock, and the chef is still on duty. What would you like to eat?"
“Do you have wheat noodle soup?”
"Yes, I'll ask the kitchen to arrange it right away."
"OK."
After hearing the boss's instructions, Huang Ying picked up her phone and called her subordinates.
When Zhou Anan and her companions took the elevator to the restaurant on the third floor, the restaurant was not deserted. Some employees who were chatting and eating dinner subconsciously slowed down their eating pace when they saw the good-looking director of the president's office.
"It seems that you are quite popular."
While eating the wheat noodle soup specially prepared by the chef, Zhou Anan saw a few male employees who were still not leaving in the distance, and smiled and joked.
He certainly wouldn't think that the other party was looking at him as the boss behind the scenes with a very low presence.
The looks of those male employees who secretly looked at him were very similar to the expressions he had when he met beautiful women in a restaurant in his previous life. He wanted to look but was too embarrassed.
"They might want to delay until 7 o'clock to get overtime pay. I'll ask Lao Xu and others to carefully calculate the overtime pay to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."
Naturally, she knew that there was no ill will in the boss's words, but Huang Ying had to always fulfill her duties as the director of the president's office and help the boss take care of the family.
"You should pay attention to your communication with Mr. Qi and others, and avoid any conflicts."
Zhou Anan naturally would not stop this behavior of being responsible for the company, but just gave a slight hint to prevent the new director of the president's office from becoming arrogant and trying to seize power.
"Boss, rest assured. I'm just arranging someone to supervise. I will definitely not interfere with Mr. Qi's daily affairs."
Hearing the 'warning' in the boss's words, Huang Ying immediately made a promise to him.
She is very satisfied with her current job, which pays well and has little leisure time, but she doesn't want to be disliked by her boss because of any power struggle.
Wouldn’t it be better to have a spa treatment when you have time? Why do you need power?
"Don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually. You still have to do a good job of supervision in the President's Office."
Seeing that the beautiful secretary understood what he meant, Zhou Anan smiled and said a few words to comfort her.
The separation of powers among CEO, CFO and President's Office is exactly what he wants to see, so that he, the big boss behind the scenes who usually doesn't care about things, can have a firm control over the situation.
"yes."
Suddenly, Huang Ying felt a little confused about the boss's thoughts. She responded quietly with the principle of remaining unchanged.
After finishing a belated simple dinner, Zhou Anan came to the small conference room on the top floor, greeted several senior executives with a smile, and got straight to the point after sitting down: "Regarding the issue of the group's split, Mr. Qi, please tell us your general ideas first."
