Chapter 446 Engagement
Don't ever think that the fairy ladies in rural areas are just superstitious.
These people make a living from this, commonly known as professionalism, and their information channels are far wider than ordinary people imagine.
The Gu family is not a small family in Shuangfeng Town, let alone Jiang Yuanshan’s family.
The two families have children who are going to get married, how could the news be kept secret?
Unless one loses his job, how could the horoscopes of these two children be in conflict?
Gu Honglan packed a big red envelope with the amount of 6666 and happily took Luo Yang away from the fairy grandma's house.
"I told you that Fanfan has such a good face. The first time I saw her, I felt that you two looked like a perfect match. Look at your horoscopes, you are a perfect match, made in heaven!"
Even a fool knows that you can't spoil the fun at a time like this.
Luo Yang smiled apologetically.
"I'm going to meet Fanfan's grandmother and parents the day after tomorrow. We're definitely going to discuss the gift. Don't butt in then."
On the way home, Gu Honglan sat in the back seat of the car.
She told Luo Yang in person, "Your father has given me the lowdown. We will be able to come up with 800,000 yuan by then. I am keeping an eye on the progress of the house. It will definitely be ready before the end of the year. You are not allowed to object when Fanfan's name is added to it. Also."
There was a lot of chatter, but it was just about measuring what the Luo family had and making the in-laws satisfied.
Of course, the Luo family refers to Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan.
Although Empress Dowager Gu knew that her son was rich now, she didn't know how much money he had.
In her opinion, Luo Jianguo holds 20% of Cathay Pacific's shares, but his son is still not as rich as his father.
"I'm going to take Fanfan to the Magic City sometime. Before the engagement party, I have to buy gold and silver jewelry, and the style must be one that Fanfan likes."
"Mom, let me take care of the jewelry!"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Gold and silver jewelry are too vulgar. Considering your daughter-in-law's temperament, I think only jade can bring out her noble temperament."
"Emerald bracelet?"
Gu Honglan thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes, Fanfan's temperament is indeed quite suitable, but our ancestors were not wealthy, so we don't have any valuable heirlooms. Look at my pair of earrings, they are made by melting down the ring your grandmother gave me."
This is the case for ordinary families. The previous generation has at least one or two gold items, which are given to the daughter-in-law when she gets married.
Those with worse conditions can melt them down and exchange them for small items such as earrings. Those with slightly better conditions can add a little money and exchange them for larger rings.
Don’t even think about the gold bracelet. At least in Luo Yang’s parents’ generation, few families could afford to inherit one.
"I've already bought it. I'll give it to you when we get home. When the parents of both parties meet, you can give it to Jiang Fan!"
A few months ago, Luo Yang asked An Ying to help him pay attention to auction information, and later bought a high-ice-type Yang Green bracelet at an auction in mid-October.
He also thought about the high ice-type imperial green bracelet, but this thing is hard to come by and is not available anywhere and at any time.
And even if he came across one, even in 2011, the price of such a bracelet would exceed hundreds of millions. It would be a bit tight for Luo Yang to take out so much cash at once at this stage.
In fact, Gao Bingyang’s green bracelet is not cheap either. Luo Yang spent more than 8 million to buy it.
In addition, he also asked someone to go to Pingzhou in Guangdong Province to buy a pair of high ice sky blue jade earrings and a necklace inlaid with ice fruit green jade. Because these devices are small, they only cost less than two million.
As for the wedding ring, it will definitely be prepared when you get married, so you don’t have to think about it for now.
"Mom, let's go to Grandpa's house for dinner tonight. Ask Dad to come with us."
After sending Gu Honglan home, Luo Yang handed her a set of jade jewelry and said, "Invite your eldest uncle and third uncle to your house for dinner tomorrow. I have something to tell you."
"what's up?"
Seeing her son's serious look, Gu Honglan asked curiously, "We are all elders, is there anything you need to explain?"
"Mom, don't ask me yet, it's a good thing anyway!"
Luo Yang didn't give his mother a chance to pull his ears, and ran into the car: "Don't forget to have dinner at grandpa's house tonight!"
"You little bastard! You're about to get engaged, but you're still so unstable and act like a monkey!"
Gu Honglan looked at the car going away and cursed with a smile.
Taking advantage of the time in the afternoon, Luo Yang asked Tan Le to drive the car to Zhengyang Group.
"Has Manager Su returned?"
When he passed by the director's office, he immediately asked about Su Yutong's whereabouts.
I haven't seen her for two weeks.
"Manager Su is back and should be in the design department now."
When Sun Jingyu saw Luo Yang holding a bag in his hand, a look of joy appeared on her face.
She followed Luo Yang into the office happily, and said as she made tea, "I'll go call her over right away!"
"Take the bag on the table when you leave. It's the reward I promised you last time."
"Just leave it here for now. I'll get it when I get off work."
Sun Hanhan has become smarter now and knows to avoid gossip in broad daylight.
"Here are the newspapers and news summaries from the past week. I have sorted them out for you."
Sun Jingyu brought the tea and placed it on Luo Yang's desk, then moved the bag to a secret corner. After doing all this, she turned around and left.
Hey. Have you grown a brain?
Luo Yang looked at the figure's brisk steps and couldn't help but smile.
Su Yutong came over very quickly.
"Chairman, are you looking for me?"
"Well, sit down and talk."
Luo Yang put down the pen in his hand and asked: "How is the preparation for the establishment of the new brand going?"
"Overseas registration is already in progress, and the new company is also recruiting a team in China. In addition, orders have been placed for equipment and machines, which are expected to arrive by mid-December."
Su Yutong reported: "I wanted to wait until everything was almost ready before reporting to you."
"You."
Luo Yang nodded at Su Yutong and said, "As a subordinate, you must learn to report frequently and constantly. Otherwise, how can the leader know what you are doing, what difficulties you have encountered, and what achievements you have made."
This is the experience he summed up himself.
A subordinate who does not learn to appear in front of his leader frequently will easily be marginalized.
Even if you really work hard, your achievements can easily be taken away by others.
After hearing this, Su Yutong was stunned.
It’s not her fault. Not long after graduating from school, she came to Zhengyang Group and worked as an assistant to Luo Yang.
By chance, she took over the overseas market business of sexy lingerie. Not long after that, Luo Yang added more responsibilities to her. If nothing unexpected happens, she will most likely become the helmsman of the women's clothing brand of Zhengyang Group.
Business ideas and thoughts may be innate, but workplace experience needs to be cultivated.
In this area, Su Yutong is not lacking in a little bit.
"Okay, these are just incidental. You still need your own understanding."
Luo Yang skipped the topic and continued, "In the first half of next year, you may be abroad for most of the time. You should arrange your time well and take care of domestic affairs. I think you need to train an executive assistant."
It’s not that Luo Yang no longer trusts Su Yutong, but she has too many things on hand now.
There is a lot of work to do overseas. In addition to setting up the company, after the product comes out, there will be some action at small press conferences in the four major fashion capitals.
There are more things to do domestically, including personnel recruitment, management, design, production, sales channel construction, advertising, marketing and market positioning.
Su Yutong is not a veteran in this industry. Unlike Shang Guozheng, she is not familiar with it and knows what to do at every step.
Luo Yang's reminder was completely within the normal range.
"I know. I have asked the human resources department to entrust a headhunting company to recruit."
Su Yutong knew that she was promoted to the position by Luo Yang, and in terms of ability, she was still unable to fully qualify for her current position.
But she holds the mentality of "a gentleman will die for his friend" and does not reject the sharing of power.
Therefore, we asked the human resources department to start recruiting capable assistants early on.
"Do your best, and what belongs to you can't be taken away by others!"
Every move in the company is reported by the little spy, so even if Su Yutong doesn't say it, he knows it.
In some positions, loyalty is required in addition to ability.
Luo Yang is willing to give Su Yutong this opportunity.
“Thank you for your trust in me!”
Su Yutong stood up emotionally and bowed deeply to Luo Yang: "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
"Okay, go take care of things first."
Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "Remember to report more often!" Shortly after Su Yutong left, Director Sun knocked on the office door again.
"Chairman, Human Resources Director Zhu Yun is here to report to you."
"Well, let her in."
Last week, Luo Yang specifically mentioned the issue of security in the factory. Human Resources Director Zhu Yun should have come here for this matter.
Sure enough, in the following period of time, Zhu Yun reported the relevant handling results to Luo Yang.
"Let's follow this standard in the future!"
After reading the new human resources manual, Luo Yang nodded with satisfaction.
After meeting with two subordinates in succession, time had unknowingly reached past four o'clock.
Thinking that he still had to go to his grandfather's house for dinner, Luo Yang planned to leave early.
Before leaving, he called Sun Jingyu in.
"Take the things away."
Sun Jingyu was stunned for a moment: "Chairman, it's just past four o'clock, are you leaving?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly stopped.
Her face also turned red for no apparent reason.
"Chairman...I understand."
"Ok?"
Now it was Luo Yang's turn to be confused. What did this idiot know?
and many more.
This girl can't be...
No need to guess, Sun Jingyu is already unpacking the package.
She thought Luo Yang called her so early to leave time for him to watch her change into her stockings!!!
This silly...
"The quality is good, thin and transparent, and has good elasticity..."
In front of Luo Yang, she pulled the stockings to show their quality.
Luo Yang: “…”
"Sun Jingyu!"
His face turned stern.
"Ohhhh...I'll change it right away!"
Sun Jingyu stuck out her tongue.
Then, she took off the stockings on her long legs without any hesitation in Luo Yang's sight.
"My calves are a bit fat, I wonder if this kind of stockings will look better..."
hiss……
The word "stop" was stuck in his throat.
Luo Yang suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth...
The office was unusually quiet.
"Xu..."
After several minutes, Sun Jingyu finally changed, and Luo Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chairman, do you think the effect is better than before?"
This fool had no idea that he was almost pounced on by his leader who had transformed into a werewolf.
She even turned around twice in front of Luo Yang to show off her new stockings.
There is not a single bit of prey awareness.
Could it be a skilled hunter?
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Luo Yang took a big sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "Change it back before you go out!"
"Oh"
Sun Hanhan was a little reluctant. She saw several styles in the bag, so she changed one...
Fortunately, Luo Yang didn't know what she was thinking.
It took me more than half an hour to get back to Shuangfeng Town from the development zone. It was less than five o'clock when I arrived at my grandfather's house.
Gu Botao lives in the old house of the supply and marketing cooperative. All his children have started their own families and careers, and now only his youngest son, Gu Xuesong, lives with them.
It wasn't the weekend and no special notice was given, so the other children were not there.
Grandma Xu Guifeng, eldest daughter Gu Honglan, and aunt Xue Qin were cooking dinner in the kitchen.
Sitting in the main room were my grandfather Gu Botao, Luo Jianguo and Gu Xuesong.
"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle!"
After calling everyone one by one, Luo Yang sat on the bench at the bottom of the eight-immortals table, and at the same time swiftly took out cigarettes to offer as a tribute.
"Yangyang is back."
Gu Botao smiled and said, "As expected of someone who is about to get engaged, he looks more and more mature."
Gu Honglan said that Luo Yang had something to explain tonight, but he was not in a hurry to ask. At his age, he was very familiar with the ways of the world.
"In the past, many people became head of the family in their teens. Even your generation and my father's generation basically started a family and started supporting their families around the age of 20..."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "I'm far from it."
"Hahaha……"
Gu Botao burst into laughter.
He said to his eldest son-in-law and youngest son, "Look, I've said it before, Yangyang is the most promising of the third generation, and this family will have to rely on him in the future!"
"Dad, stop praising him."
Luo Jianguo said don't praise me, but his face was full of satisfied smile.
"He has an even more explosive temper than me. He needs to suppress it and temper himself a little..."
Luo Yang: “…”
This family will fall apart without me!
You can only recite this silently in your mind; if you speak it out loud you'll get beaten.
The chat didn't last long, and soon grandma and the others prepared dinner, set the table, and served the food.
The three men naturally had to get some wine.
After a few drinks, Gu Honglan couldn't hold back her temper and said, "Yangyang, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
"That's it..."
Luo Yang put down his chopsticks and told him about setting up a decoration company and investing in it.
"What I mean is that the family can pool together 100 million yuan, count it among the families, and distribute it as dividends by the end of next year."
"what?"
The uncle looked at Luo Yang in surprise and asked, "One million?"
"Well, 100 million, split equally among several families."
"How much can we divide?"
My aunt-in-law is most concerned about this: "Yangyang, is he reliable?"
"Don't ask about this. Since Yangyang has said it, just collect the money."
Gu Botao stopped others from speaking, including his eldest daughter Gu Honglan.
"Yangyang picked you guys to make a fortune!"
He sees it most clearly.
