Chapter 98 Welcome, Boss Si
"What"s the matter with Lola Li today?" Theron was not in the mood, thinking about what was going on.
"What"s the matter? I guess the CEO and the general manager should know each other, " said Susan Du, the human resources manager. It was a woman"s sixth sense.
"You don"t know about it! Lola Li used to be a big star in D City. At that time, Lola Li, Harry Si and Yolanda Mo were often on the entertainment news. Then Lola Li quit the entertainment circle and disappeared completely." Jenna Zhong, the public relations manager, said mysteriously. She had recognized Lola Li long ago, but never told anyone.
"Really? I have never thought that Manager Li was a star before! But, with such a good-looking face, she is totally qualified to be a star!" said Jack Chang, the deputy general manager, a man in his forties who had always been impressed by Lola"s appearance.
The executives talked about Harry and Lola for a long time. The final conclusion was: "The CEO was too frightful to be provoked, and Lola Li, who had a relationship with him, cannot be provoked either."
The next morning.
Lola got up very early. She took a look at her sleeping daughter before she started washing and makeup.
It was the first day that Harry a.s.sumed office. All the staff should arrive half an hour early to do the preparatory work. Lola must get there earlier than they do and have things ready.
She told Joseph to send Nicole to school, then left home in a hurry.
She speeded up her car to the company and parked it at an empty parking s.p.a.ce. Walking in the 2-inch high heels, the tall and professional Lola exchanged greetings with her subordinates.
"Miss Li, good morning!"
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, Miss Li!"
"Morning!" Lola walked into the general manager"s office.
She called in her a.s.sistant Leo Zhu and told him the schedule. "The new CEO will come soon. The company must be clean and tidy. The staff must greet the CEO simultaneously. And move a few green plants to the CEO"s office! Last, inform all department managers to a.s.semble in the lobby at 7:50 on time, with uniforms and work cards!"
With this, Lola asked Leo to get ready.
At 7:40, Lola personally took the lead to check the company, including all the unaccessible areas.
Lola nodded with satisfaction, and told Jack Chang to deal with the rest. She just waited for the meeting after welcoming the new CEO.
At 7:55, all the managers and the ushers were standing in two columns in front of the company, waiting for the new CEO.
At 7:58, Theron and Lola stood right in the middle of the company gate.
The familiar Maybach stopped in front of the company on time. Joey stepped out of the driver"s seat and opened the rear door.
Dressed in a business suit and a pair of black Italian handmade shoes, Harry got out of the car.
For those who had never seen him, his forbidding countenance took their breath away. He cast a cold glance at the people at the doorway and walked towards them with a briefcase.
"Welcome, Boss Si!" Lola, dressed in the general manager"s uniform, wore an impersonal smile.
She took a step back to give way to Harry. Hardly had the voice of Lola and Theron faded away, the department managers and the ushers exclaimed with one accord, "Welcome, Boss Si!" And they bowed low to express welcome.
Harry had become accustomed to this kind of occasion. "The executives shall meet in the conference room in five minutes." The cold voice echoed in the quiet lobby. Lola followed him and answered, "Yes, boss."
It was not appropriate for the deputy CEO to arrange the meeting personally, so she took it upon herself.
"The general manager shall report to me. I want detailed data." Lola pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton, walked into the elevator after Harry, and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the 36th floor, where the CEO"s office was located.
The elevator door closed. There were only Harry, Joey, Lola and Theron.
"Yes, boss!" Jesus, I have a lot of work, Lola thought. In the narrow elevator s.p.a.ce, she seemed to have felt the familiar masculine smell of Harry.
In just a few seconds, the elevator reached the 36th floor.
The CEO"s office was clean and everything was new. There were a few green plants beside the French window, which were especially conspicuous.
Harry glanced around the office and said, "Move out the green plants. Change the color of the curtain and the sofa. Now let"s go to the meeting!"
"Boss, if you smoke at ordinary times, the green plants are essential!" Lola calmly looked at Harry. How could the office of this smoking addict do without green plants?
Theron took a deep breath and thought that Lola was really audacious to defy the CEO"s order. He would hide his ego anyway.
Joey tried to hold back his laughter, watching his boss being cornered. He bet ten dollars that his boss would not refuse!
Sure enough!
Harry cast a cold glance at the woman behind him. The woman, however, looked him straight in the eyes with calmness, without any emotion in her eyes. "Take me to the conference room." Was that acquiescence?
Lola hurriedly turned around, walked into the elevator and pressed the b.u.t.ton for the 22nd floor, where large conference rooms of the company were set up.
When the four people entered the conference room, all executives were already present.
"Mr. CEO!"
Lola quickly walked to her seat, which was on the left side of the CEO"s seat...
Jack Chang pushed several folders to Lola, as if they were hot potatoes.
"Begin!" Harry threw a glance at the woman sitting by his side.
Lola stood up, walked to the stage, and turned on the projector. A series of data appeared on the white wall.
"This is the company earnings in the past six months, five percentage points greater than the corresponding period of last year..." Lola"s introduction echoed in the quiet conference room until the meeting ended three hours later.
The executives walked out of the conference room, wiping their sweat and whispering that they were going to have a harsh time working with the new CEO.
Poker face; domineering and bossy; Asura from h.e.l.l; cold and aloof; vigorous and resolute... These were all remarks about him.
Lola turned off the projector and was ready to leave the conference room.
"Miss Li, come to my office. The financial data is problematic." Harry gave an order and left the conference room directly. The two managers who had not left yet cast a sympathetic glance at Lola.
Lola rolled her eyes behind the man and dragged her feet to the CEO"s office.
Joey had already found his place in the secretary division and was pulling stuff out of his briefcase. Seeing Lola, he said, "Miss Li, Boss Si is waiting for you in the office."
