Du Guoying had his own plans. He originally intended to join by taking advantage of Kevin's influence, stay for a few months, and if he could stay, he would stay as long as possible; if not, he would leave.
In his mind, Lu Feng only saw him as a tool to be used. But now, he had actually stepped through the door first.
Du Guoying was a little stunned, but deep down she was overjoyed. She quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Boss Lu. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."
"Alright, alright, sit down!" Lu Feng looked at him and said, "Prepare your ID information tomorrow. If you don't have it with you, just call home. Your ID number will do. I'll personally handle your onboarding."
"Work hard!" Kevin looked at Du Guoying with deep emotion, and said to Lu Feng, "I'll gather some information about home appliances in the next couple of days and do some research in the international market. After the company fully resumes operations, I'll come back to do some on-site research. It will take some time, mainly because in my current position, it would be very troublesome to hand over my work if I were to leave. This period is perfect for doing these things."
“No problem, anything is fine. I know it’s a bit of a hassle for you to resign, after all, it’s such an important position. Oh, right, I almost forgot.” Lu Feng asked Zhu Lidong, “Do you have any money on you? To pay for the camera.”
"I didn't bring any!" Zhu Lidong actually had money on him; he needed to give out red envelopes to people these past two days, so how could he not have cash? But he also knew that Lu Feng was the type of person who would borrow money and then pay it back very rarely.
"We'll talk about it later, it's just ten or twenty thousand yuan." Kevin no longer intended to take the money; he could tell that Lu Feng didn't want to give it to him.
“One thing at a time, we still have to pay what we owe. The problem is that the finance department isn’t working right now. I’ll find someone to scrape together some money.” Lu Feng looked at Zhu Lidong, pondered for a moment, and said, “Call Liu Cheng. I sent each of them a thousand-yuan red envelope this morning, so… borrow it first.”
"This...isn't that inappropriate?" Zhu Lidong felt embarrassed for him and whispered, "President Lu, you have to return this money. They just received the red envelope this morning and haven't even had a chance to enjoy it yet."
“I’m the kind of person who borrows money and doesn’t pay it back, so we can talk things out internally. People in Liucheng are honest, so you need to tell them to tell the PhDs that I have some urgent business to attend to, and it’s all voluntary. The money owed will be paid out with their salaries.” Lu Feng instructed, “Go ahead.”
Zhu Lidong realized that the red envelope had suddenly changed from personal money to company funds. When it comes to calculating, President Lu is truly astute!
A dozen minutes later, the original 30,000 yuan was all in hand. Even the dumbest person knows what to do when the boss is in trouble, especially since this money was paid out along with his salary. It's just a favor.
Lu Feng counted out 16,000 yuan and handed it to Kevin, saying, "I'm a man of principle, you know that?"
As he spoke, he pocketed the remaining 20,000 yuan.
Kevin nodded repeatedly and said, "Then this matter can be considered resolved. It has been a pleasure to meet you two during this Spring Festival. How about we have dinner together tonight?"
"No problem, I have some things to take care of. Let's go to the same restaurant as at noon, there aren't many restaurants open during the Chinese New Year." Lu Feng instructed the two.
Du Guoying led Kevin downstairs. When they reached the elevator, he told Kevin to go down first, then turned around and jogged towards Lu Feng.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Lu, is it true that I'll come to start work tomorrow?" Du Guoying asked tentatively, her voice trembling with apprehension, afraid of receiving news she didn't want to hear.
"Really? Go back and prepare." Lu Feng said to him.
"Is it really the position of vice president?" Du Guoying's emotions were becoming increasingly difficult to contain.
“Yes!” Lu Feng nodded and smiled at him.
"Thank you!" Du Guoying could no longer hold back. He had finally gotten a chance. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Feng noticed that Zhu Lidong was still standing there looking at Du Guoying with a somewhat sentimental expression, so he said, "Stop looking. Everyone has been young before. Get back to work and turn off the camera."
Zhu Lidong took out the camera and put the videotape into it. The footage captured Kevin's upper body perfectly, showing him sitting there very formally.
“Let’s start with him rubbing his face. Then we’ll cut the tape and make a videotape to send to headquarters as soon as possible. I’ll ask him to send a resignation email to their internal email address tonight. We’ll need your help to find it.” Lu Feng stood up and said, “Well done.”
"President Lu, are you sure this person is capable? Besides, I'm worried that if we poach him like this, he might be carrying some resentment," Zhu Lidong said with concern.
“I don’t know if this person is capable in the home appliance industry, but I know that in the international arena, he is definitely more professional than the two of us. As for his mood, no matter how ugly his face is, if you throw a bunch of money at him, he can be all smiles. That’s it, go and get it done.” Lu Feng stood up and headed out, but suddenly turned back and said, “Don’t go to dinner tonight, you’re busy with these things.”
"I'll just sting to death you. You won't even let me go out for a meal." Zhu Lidong sighed. He knew that Lu Feng was quite frugal in some things, especially when it came to spending his own money.
The dinner was very enjoyable, and everyone felt much better. Kevin was overjoyed as he drank; he felt like he had won, helping the young Du Guoying without giving anything in return, having enjoyed several days of free meals.
Du Guoying didn't care who won between the two of them; she was definitely the winner.
Lu Feng is also a winner; he got two capable talents just like that. Everyone is a winner, and when you're in a good mood, everything is fine.
