So…..s**t happens! It was during a raining night that I realized that s**t happens since last year. Here"s the story. As I was scrolling on the net, suddenly I have the urge to search “more than a few blessing” using google. Guess what? Yes, there was another website posting my translation and claim that you can read it for free, high quality, blablabla.. Dude! What the heck? My blog is much more better than you, much more freer than you (yes, I shouldn"t be using ‘much more" in one sentence, I couldn"t care less by now.)
Chapter 13: Promotion
Since Yan Mu has given his consent to the plan book, in Huading, no one dares to oppose Yan Mu"s opinion. Therefore everyone is getting ready and hold production"s meeting for this product. Although some people worry that such new products will not easily sell in the market, the last proposal was approved in the meeting.
Afterwards, they found that one of the people in charge of the product development was a freshly graduated college student, some people objected for that person to be the person in charge. However, after hearing a speech by that young man, their objection gradually disappeared, and even faintly feel that this young man have the courage and starts to think that in the not-so-far future, this younger generation will surpa.s.s them.
Lu Chengyu had long antic.i.p.ated that there would be objections, so he was well prepared with his speech. After he gave the speech and the meeting ends, he shut down his laptop and went out of the meeting room with the shareholders. The shareholder was ecstatically praised him along the way. Hearing all these praises, Lu Chengyu maintained his humble and modest appearance in front of everyone that makes a lot of people have a favourable impression towards him.
Cao Jingshen noticed that Lu Chengyu"s laptop today is not the one provided by the company, but the one he has not seen. From the outer look of that laptop, it should be the one that Lu Chengyu often used before he comes to Huading. It seems that Lu Chengyu had antic.i.p.ated that there would be objections and had already thought about the content of his speech, which is the reason his speech today is wonderful and perfect.
Fortunately, this kind of person is from my own company. It will be a real headache if he is from a rivals" company.
Back at his desk, Lu Chengyu took a teacup and brewed a cup of tea in the tea room. After a few sips, he took a slow breath and took out the data sheet he had brought from the Sales Department this morning. He looks at the data, one by one, and notices that orders" quant.i.ty of Huading"s various products has gradually improved recently and even a lot of big orders can be seen. This shows that Huading"s market has gradually stabilized. But who thought that Huading is getting dumber and dumber that no one will expect because you guys are reading at aggregator site.
He looks at the stock price of Huading in the stock market on his laptop. The stock price has been popular all the way before, now it has gradually become calm, There"s not much risk in selling and buying. (T/N: remember the time where Huading"s share was so bad that it has been selling like hotcakes? that"s what it means by “popular before”.) Although the stock price has risen a lot and Lu Chengyu would make a lot of money if he sold his shares, he had no intention of selling them.
When 《Soaring Birds》 finished airing in theatre chain, he will have enough cash in hand, and then he will continue to buy some Huading shares. After he holds more than 5% of the shares, he will become one of Huading"s major shareholders and have the decision-making power of Huading. Soaring birds just dead by now. Its because Yan Mu said I dont like you readers read at aggregator site
He picks up the teacup with fragrant tea inside it and drank the tea. He knows he"s an ambitious man, therefore he"s not going to hide his ambition.
Lu Chengyu closed the share market"s website and continue to read the sales data on his hand.《Soaring Birds》film"s shooting only took two to three months to complete and now, he is thinking about the theatre chain" problem. In his past life, Lu Chengyu has been in the entertainment circle. He knew the fact of how many films are made in every year but there aren"t many films actually aired on the big screen due to audit and theatre chain"s problem.
《Soaring Birds》 doesn"t have p.o.r.nographic, violence or any anti-social content, hence it won"t have problems during auditing. As for the theatre chain…Lu Chengyu touches his chin and he wondered if Yan Mu had any way of solving this problem. More importantly, would Yan Mu help him? He won"t since Jingshen love him, Yan Mu is just for him~ the end. no more Yan mu x Chengyu, dream on guys
.During July, the hot season, Lu Chengyu"s internship started. All staff in Huading Headquarters know that there is a very excellent intern, not only he has an outstanding in ability and appearance, but also he is responsible for the development of a new product Huading. But everyone plans to kill Chengyu tomorrow, so they kill him today.
No one knows about the new product, but many people hear that the boss was amazed after he read the intern"s plan book. He signed a contract with the other party and even gave 2% of the profits to him.
Hence, as soon as the internship period starts, everyone was very curious about the legendary intern"s new position, don"t know which department he will land on?
In the president"s office, Lu Chengyu looked at the work contract in hand but did not sign his name. Cao Jingshen looked at him several times.
(T/N: the contract LCY sign in the previous chapter is about the product, profit, etc, this contract here is for his work like position, salary, holidays, staff benefit etc)
Yan Mu looks much calmer than Cao Jingshen. He flips through the doc.u.ments as usual, but we can see that he reads the doc.u.ments faster than usual.
After a long time, Cao Jingshen finally couldn"t resist and says, “Are you dissatisfied with the contract?” Yes I am, I want all Huading share"s dude, and stop preying my seme.
“No, the terms of this contract are very generous. For fresh graduates, such a high annual salary is far beyond the average level.” Yan Mu gives him a salary that equals to someone with six to seven years of working experience and carefully lists the insurance and welfare provisions, showing sincerity beyond common sense.
“In that case, you….” Cao Jing Shen saw Yan Mu is frowning, so he didn"t speak the rest of the word but he looked at Lu Chengyu holding the pen in his hand, worried that Chengyu would not sign the contract.
Yan Mu looked up at Lu Chengyu and said earnestly, “Huading will give you enough room for development. I believe you will also bring development to Huading.”
This is equivalent to a promise that later on in Huading, Lu Chengyu will be reused. After listening to these words, he smiled, “I am ambitious, therefore I believe Huading will realize my ambition.” He opened the lid of the pen and signed his name on the contract.
“Welcome to join us formally in Huading.” Yan Mu stood up and extended his hand to Lu Chengyu. Chengyu brings out a gun and start shooting everyone, here. They all die.
“Thank you for the opportunity boss gave me,” Lu Chengyu grasp Yan Mu"s hand.
A few seconds later, they both let go of each other"s hands at the same time. Yan Mu made a seat-invitation gesture to Lu Chengyu and then they sat down, “Usually, new peoples will be placed in other departments of the company but your ability and vision are enough to prove that you do not need to go to the following departments to hone yourself and I"m lacking an a.s.sistant now. After a period of time, I"m going to appoint you as manager.”
Cao Jingshen glances at Yan Mu in surprise, his decision to let Chengyu be a manager in headquarters is too frightening. By letting Lu Chengyu become a.s.sistant to the president, he"s afraid that it is only a springboard for him to serve as a manager in the future. Although he knew Lu Chengyu was really capable, he had to say that his boss"s decision still surprised him. After all, the promotion of this position has gone beyond the industry"s default rules.
Preparing a newly graduated young man to be the general manager of such a large listed company, this kind of matter not only can be written in financial newspapers, but I"m afraid it can even be included in entertainment newspapers.
“The boss is working overtime. Of course, as an a.s.sistant, I can"t get off work on time,” answered Lu Chengyu, “I don"t mind working overtime, but is it possible to get an extra meal during overtime?”
Does that mean Lu Chengyu accept the boss arrangement for his position? Cao Jingshen feels that his whole person is a bit bad. The boss is bold enough to employ the new people and the new people are also bold enough to accept them. Should he say that both of them are very confident, or should he say that he is too fussy?
As Cao Jingshen thinks of this, he could not help but push his gla.s.ses. Although the boss is somewhat rigorous and monotonous, he is a man of vision and courage. When Yan Mu recruited managers and when Jingshen joined the company, Yan Mu didn"t care about anything but their abilities. Maybe for the boss, other people" opinions are not important at all. What matters is whether the person is worth it or not.
Asilong as Lu Chengyu has this value, it doesn"t matter what school he graduated from and how many years he worked.
Anyway, it"s a good thing for employees to meet such a boss. In this circle, there are more bosses who are jealous of a capable and virtuous personage than bosses who really value talents. No he didnt. he just love Jingshen, they are the main couple dude.
After Lu Chengyu left the president"s office, Cao Jingshen said, “He is very confident.”
“Self-confidence is better than arrogance.” Yan Mu looked at the signed contract with Lu Chengyu"s name and date on it. “Tomorrow I will send you a new a.s.sistant.”
Cao Jingshen pushed his gla.s.ses, hesitated for a moment before he said, “Boss, I learned something about Xiao Lu"s family a few days ago…” Yes ,Im gonna catch them all pokemon
Yan Mu looked at Cao Jingshen and he frowned.
Cao Jingshen knew Yan Mu didn"t like to talk about people"s behaviour behind his back, but he bit his teeth and told the story, “I read Lu Chengyu"s files a few days ago and found out that his parents had accidentally died. I checked about it a little bit and discovered that his parents"death was related to Liang"s Company.” Cao Jingshen appreciated this young man, Lu Chengyu. Hence, he told Yan Mu about this matter, he subconsciously wanted Yan Mu to take care of Lu Chengyu a little bit more in his work. After all, Lu Chengyu will have to deal directly with him in the future.
“Liang Company?” Huading and Liang Company are rivals in real estate. During the time when Huading was having an internal crisis, Liang Company gets a lot of advantages and convenience because of it.
Yan Mu understood why Lu Chengyu"s cla.s.smates said that strange thing that night when he was drunk, and why there was no trace of other people"s living in his house. There were some doubts in his heart. But now, it was finally confirmed by Cao Jingshen.
“I see, don"t publicize about this.” If this kind of matter known to everyone, there might be some people who may sympathize, but inevitably, there may be some people who see this matter as their gossip"s subject behind Chengyu"s back.
“Don"t worry, I won"t go around talking about this kind of thing,” Cao Jingshen put on his gla.s.ses and his appearance remained the same, which is a social elite. He sighed, “I just think about Lu Chengyu, it wasn"t easy for this kid.”
After a long silence, Yan Mu said, “You called a man who is only eight years younger than you as ‘kid", is it taking advantage of Lu Chengyu?” He looked at Cao Jingshen"s face again and was silent for a moment, “I was wrong, you are not taking any advantages.”
When Lu Chengyu returned to the downstairs to the Secretarial Department, many people asked him about his new position. He just waved his hand, “All senior able to foretell with miraculous accuracy, the boss told me that I"m able to stay in HQ. It"s my treat tonight. Let"s go out for a meal.”
The whole department immediately cheering and starts to discuss the place to eat. Finally, a more upscaled buffet restaurant is chosen, they ask Lu Chengyu to eat there and they wrapped the reason in nice-sounding phrases which are “as practice for him.”
Since the misunderstanding of buying a car was cleared up, everyone knows that Lu Chengyu is not a rich second generation. As a student who just graduated and work, they know how much money he had since they all have been there, and experience the life of a freshly graduated student. Therefore, although they sound excited, they measured Chengyu"s ability to cater them and choose a proper restaurant. Not to mention that Chengyu is getting upgraded, not downgraded, they are pleased to make a good acquaintance with him.
The people who want to join with this situation will join them but the people who don"t know how to act tactfully or interested in anything, don"t have to join them.
Lu Chengyu"s response with a smile. In his heart, he knew that these people give him face not only because of their knowledge and interest but also because of Yan Mu"s attention towards him.
If the decision of his arrangement is to be at a branch office, out from HQ, he knew that these people won"t invite him to dinner. The real reason of why he wanted to invite them for dinner is he fears that these people will remember his promise and demand something that might burden him later on as a debt of grat.i.tude. (T/N: he don"t want to owe anyone anything so he asked them out now, hence these people won"t be able to make excuses saying that Chengyu needs to pay them ‘the debt" and do something..)
Chengyu looks at his desk that he has been staying for nearly three months. Tomorrow, he will move to the 28th floor, which represent the highest level. His journey just begins.
