Chapter 532: Sometimes there are beasts
Pushing his bicycle, he walked out of the school gate chatting and laughing with his classmates, and politely declined Xiang Wanwan's invitation to go out for a meal together.
It wasn't that she wasn't hungry, nor was she in a hurry to rush home to continue studying.
I originally planned to take the entrance exams for Peking University and Tsinghua University. Although I have a chance of getting 60 to 70 points, I still need to review diligently to fill in the gaps.
Now it is not necessary because Luo Yang wants her to be admitted to Fudan University.
With her current grades and the advantage of having a local Shanghai hukou, she would be almost certain to pass the college entrance examination even if she took it now. There was no need for her to work hard, she just needed to maintain her condition.
I once tried to ask my parents that I didn’t plan to apply to Peking University or Tsinghua University, but to Fudan University.
Xiang Wanwan intended to seek help from her parents to gain a tiny chance of success, but she didn't expect her parents to support her idea wholeheartedly.
In their eyes, it is much better for their daughter to study at Fudan University without having to go far away from them than to study in the capital thousands of miles away. Besides, the halo of a prestigious school is not particularly useful in Lao Xiang's eyes. After all, Fudan University is not bad either.
What's more, the family has tens of millions of assets, so there is no need for his daughter to work hard.
So Xiang Wanwan became increasingly silent, and the porcelain doll that was originally outgoing and cheerful disappeared.
From teachers to classmates, everyone thought it was because of the approaching college entrance examination and the heavy pressure. Who knew what she was really afraid of in her heart?
"Wanwan, see you tomorrow!"
"Wanwan, ride slowly on the road and pay attention to the traffic lights."
A group of classmates waved at her, turned around, got on their bicycles, and rode away chattering all the way.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?"
Just when Xiang Wanwan was in a daze, a familiar voice came from behind her: "Look at you, you look distracted, how about I take you back?"
"No, no need."
The porcelain doll shook her head and refused, "They are not in the same direction. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth."
"It's okay. Giving it to you is more important."
The boy propped one foot on the ground, put his hands on the front handlebars of the bicycle, and said with a smile: "We don't talk at school normally, but we can chat a few words on the way home."
"Xu Yuchen, could you please stop being so childish!"
Thinking of the text messages on her phone, Xiang Wanwan suddenly spoke up: "Hurry up and go back to review. There's not much time left before the college entrance examination. Every minute now is important to you."
"Uh, you're right."
The boy scratched his head in embarrassment. "My monthly exam results last month were not ideal. I am still more than ten points away from the goal line of Tsinghua University and Peking University. But don't worry, I have thoroughly understood a lot of knowledge points during my recent review. I think I can catch up in the second mock exam."
"Ok!"
Xiang Wanwan responded softly: "Go back quickly, I want to go home too."
"See you at school tomorrow!"
The boy hooked his toes on the pedals and pedaled with the strength of his whole body. The bicycle rushed forward quickly, his hair fluttering, full of youthful energy.
Xiang Wanwan stared at the departing figure in a daze. After a moment, she retracted her gaze and pushed the cart in the opposite direction.
Under the shade of a sycamore tree about fifty or sixty meters away, there was a Mercedes parked on the side of the road. The black body of the car was hidden in the dim environment and it was easy to overlook it if you didn't look carefully.
The moment the rear door opened, the petite figure was instantly swallowed up.
"Compared to the last time we met, you have lost a lot of weight."
Holding the porcelain doll in his arms, Luo Yang pinched her chin with one hand and looked at her from left to right several times: "Why, with your grades, you still feel pressure to get into Fudan?"
"During this period, the atmosphere at school was quite tense before the exam, so I ate less, so..."
Xiang Wanwan subconsciously glanced at the driver's seat with her peripheral vision and found that there was no one there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he found an excuse to deal with Luo Yang's problem.
"If you don't want me to send you lunch every day, just eat more at school."
Luo Yang loosened his chin and stroked the smooth cheek of the porcelain doll with his palm: "Next time I see you, if you do this again, I will punish you, do you hear me?"
"I heard you. I'll try to eat more."
Although she didn't know what the punishment was, Xiang Wanwan believed that it would definitely not be an easy task because the word itself exuded an evil nature.
Not to mention that Luo Yang sent someone to deliver a lunch box, wouldn't that be social death?
Faced with the double threat, Xiang Wanwan had no other choice but to agree obediently.
"So good!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Luo Yang's face.
"Uncle, evening self-study ends at nine o'clock, and I usually get home around nine forty-five."
Feeling the big hands reaching into her clothes, the porcelain doll's breathing began to become heavy. She bit her lower lip tightly, looked at Luo Yang with pleading eyes and said, "And mom will make me a midnight snack, otherwise mom will notice something strange."
"It's 9:18 now. I think it will save a lot of time if I deliver my car to your place, so you probably have 15 minutes."
Luo Yang put the watch in front of Xiang Wanwan: "You are so smart, you should have a way to have the best of both worlds, right?"
This question is not difficult!
At 9:43, the Mercedes-Benz drove to a place not far from the gate of the community where Porcelain Doll lived.
At 9:44, China Doll got out of the car and took out the bicycle from the trunk.
At 9:46, Luo Yang sat in the car and watched the porcelain doll ride a bicycle into the community.
A little after ten twenty, Luo Yang arrived downstairs of Cao Zixi's newly bought house. After getting out of the car, he saw that the lights in the house were on, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
"Why is it over so early?"
Looking at the little woman who squatted in front of the shoe cabinet to help him change his slippers after opening the door, Luo Yang asked curiously: "Didn't I tell you to finish today's card game before going home? Although I don't usually play mahjong, I also know the pain of being short of one. Be careful that your partner will draw circles and curse you behind your back."
"No, we started early, but usually we would fight four generals. Today's situation is special, so we dispersed after fighting three generals."
Cao Zixi stood up and helped Luo Yang take off his coat, hung it on the hanger and continued to make tea.
"You just moved here not long ago, how did you get to know your poker partner?"
Luo Yang sat on the sofa in the living room and asked as he lit a cigarette, "Is there a chess and card room in the community?"
"How could I have such ability? They were all introduced by Mr. Qiao. One is the wife of his former advertising company boss, one is Mr. Qiao's deputy, who said she knows you, and the other is the financial director of Santai Real Estate, also a woman."
"Old Joe's deputy, do you still know me?"
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, then a charming face appeared in his mind: "Luo Qingling?"
"Yes, Sister Luo was yelling tonight, saying that you made us play four fewer rounds of mahjong, and she wanted you to treat us to a meal to make up for it."
Cao Zixi came over holding a teacup and said with a smile: "But when I took out my cell phone to call you, Sister Luo immediately got scared. She seemed to be afraid of you?"
Ha ha
This woman had originally intended to take his body, but she failed to achieve her goal.
Luo Yang didn't have the habit of talking about others' shortcomings behind their backs, so he skipped the topic and asked, "Has the villa started to be renovated?"
"Well, I found a decoration company and entrusted it with a one-stop service from design to construction, as well as the later interior decoration. Now the construction team has entered the site."
Cao Zixi sat on the sofa in a duck-like posture, massaging Luo Yang's legs while saying, "Because of the plum rain season, the renovation agreement states that it will take seven months, and it must be delivered to us before October 7st."
“If it is delivered before October, we can move in before the end of the year.”
Luo Yang nodded, then looked at Cao Zixi and said, "Don't bring outsiders to this villa, not even your family members, understand?" Cao Zixi was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately after meeting Luo Yang's gaze, "I understand, don't bring anyone to the villa except yourself"
Although he agreed, there was still doubt in his eyes.
Because the villa is so big, Luo Yang doesn't come here often, and he doesn't allow her to bring relatives and friends there, so it's too lonely.
Luo Yang saw through her thoughts at a glance and added calmly, "Don't worry, you won't feel lonely. When the house is ready for occupancy, I will arrange for someone else to live in it, and you two can get along well."
Cao Zixi: “.”
Because of this answer, even the massaging hands stopped.
"What, you don't want to?"
Luo Yang felt something strange and looked at Cao Zixi again.
"Oh no, I didn't!"
Cao Zixi quickly shook his head, then nodded and said, "I will get along well with her."
"How's the Japanese food store business going?"
Luo Yang changed the topic quickly: "Can you make two or three million this year?"
"More than that!"
With some hesitation, Cao Zixi thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "Now we are following your original suggestion, forming a group of three stores, taking the profits of two of the stores as funds for opening new chain stores, and retaining the profits of one store as working capital. Even so, the profit by the end of the year should exceed three million. If we stop opening new stores now, the profit will exceed ten million. It is also stable."
Before, because someone was going to move in to the villa, she was a little confused and a little nervous.
But after talking about the business that Luo Yang helped her build, her mood immediately improved, because she knew that the chain stores could not continue to expand. At most, there would be another year next year, and by then, hundreds of stores would be profitable together. At the end of the year, the profit would be at least tens of millions.
When I think of this, I feel happy.
"Well, keep the money you earn this year for pocket money."
After a blow, I still have to give a sweet gift: "Starting from next year, you can keep 10 million yuan of surplus at the end of each year, and I will help you put the rest into your financial account, so that you can save some money for your retirement in the future."
Cao Zixi is the kind of woman who has no opinion of her own. It would be best if someone could arrange everything for her.
So after hearing Luo Yang's words, he could only nod.
Besides being happy, she leaned forward and kissed Luo Yang on the cheek.
I don't know where the panic I felt before went.
Luo Yang found it funny. She clearly had the temperament of a little girl, not a young woman in her twenties.
Cao Zixi drank more than half a pound of strong liquor. Although he was not drunk, he was a little tipsy. In a slightly anesthetized state, he cried.
No, it’s Cao Zixi who suffers.
The next morning, Luo Yang rushed back to the company in high spirits.
"Besides the interview, there isn't much planned today, right?"
Passing by the director's office, seeing Lin Yuxi's resentful eyes, Luo Yang quickly asked Yu Haiping: "Yesterday at noon, because of discussing things, a lot of backlogs were not dealt with. Look at Xiao Lin's eyes, I guess he was annoyed by the various departments yesterday."
Confidential secretary Lin Yuxi turned her head away embarrassedly, and kept all the words she wanted to say in her stomach.
Yu Haiping also glanced at her and sighed silently in his heart.
Luo Yang asked him at the beginning, and he agreed to train one from the existing staff.
She was given a chance to be the director of the board office, but this girl was too arrogant, so now she has to be hired from outside. She will regret it soon.
"Boss, there is only one interview in the morning, no other arrangements."
Yu Haiping followed Luo Yang into the office and said, "From 2:30 to 3:30 pm, Kunpeng Technology's CFO Ke Ruoyun will come to report on her work. There will be a small meeting after 4:00 to discuss the list of the board of directors' project committee. It will be organized by Vice President Song. I would like to ask if you would like to attend."
"I won't attend this small meeting. Just give me the minutes to review."
Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "After talking with Ke Ruoyun this afternoon, I might have to meet with people from the bank to talk, so don't arrange other things for me."
"Okay, boss."
"By the way, arrange a more upscale place for me tomorrow night, with higher standards. It's my treat."
Last week at his hometown, Jiang Yuanshan said he wanted to introduce him to the Chamber of Commerce. He would arrive in Shanghai tomorrow afternoon and specially invite several important figures in the Chamber of Commerce to dinner. Luo Yang would definitely have to prepare a relatively high standard of hospitality.
"Several people?"
Yu Haiping was more meticulous and asked, "Should we prepare a gift for each guest?"
"Including me, there are probably eight or nine people."
According to Jiang Yuanshan, the Chamber of Commerce established by people from Yang City in Shanghai has one president, one executive vice president, two rotating vice presidents, three honorary vice presidents, and one secretary general, which adds up to eight people. Of course, Lao Jiang is also among them.
If everyone is invited to attend, including Luo Yang, there will be exactly nine people.
Luo Yang took stock in his mind and said, "Prepare a small gift for each guest. You can prepare it as you like. The standard amount should be between 1 and 2 yuan."
"Okay, boss."
Seeing that Luo Yang had picked up the documents piled beside him and started reading them, Yu Haiping gave a brief response and left the office.
At 9:40, he knocked on the door again and came in. "Boss, Miss Wen has finished the interview with the HR department. Director Wang is outside the door and wants to discuss the interview with you. What do you think?"
"Please let Wang Yining in."
Luo Yang didn't even raise his head, he was signing his opinions on a document with a pen in his hand.
"Chairman, I just conducted a round of interviews with Wen Wan in the small conference room. This is the conclusion of the interview."
The HR director walked into the office and handed Luo Yang an interview conclusion.
"You don't need to show it to me. Just tell me your department's opinion."
"This Miss Wen has good conditions in all aspects, but her requirements for her future career planning are a bit high."
"Oh?"
Hearing this comment, Luo Yang raised his head curiously: "How is it so high?"
"Ms. Wen Wan should have a detailed understanding of our group and its affiliated industries."
Wang Yining spoke clearly and quickly: "She hopes to gain more ability training in her current position and transfer to a management position at Kunpeng Technology in two to three years."
Wow, that's quite ambitious.
Luo Yang put down his pen, leaned back on the big chair, smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that she doesn't have the requirements, I'm afraid that she doesn't have the ability. Tell her to come over now, I'll interview her."
Wang Yining nodded and glanced at her boss.
I don’t know if the chairman can resist this girl’s beauty. Not to mention men, even a woman would find her stunning.
The director of the board of directors' office is usually the boss's confidant.
I didn't say anything excessive during the interview just now, right?
After recalling something in his mind, he briskly left Luo Yang's office to notify the girl named Wen Wan to come for an interview with the chairman.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!"
"Hello, Chairman. My name is Wen Wan. I'm here for an interview for the position of Director of the Board Office."
The grainy sound immediately pleased Luo Yang's ears.
