On November 6th, Li Dong led a team to Shanghai.
Among the executives, Chen Lang brought some people to accompany them as they went by car.
On the way to Shanghai, Li Dong and Chen Lang were in the same car.
In the car, Chen Lang briefly introduced, "Under the integration of Iris, Carrefour's assets have been gradually integrated. Or rather, our Faraway Supermarket in Shanghai has been integrated into Carrefour's system. Furthermore, our Shanghai branch has been moved from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Building to the World Financial Center last month. Iris initially wanted to invite you to the housewarming ceremony, but you were quite busy last month, so I pushed it down. "
"Chen Ying did a good job," Li Dong smiled. "I know about this matter. After Luo Guowei left, Carrefour's original team was a little restless. In the end, it was Chen Ying who suppressed it. Far away specialized in female generals, and each one of them is no weaker than the other. "
The Iris that Chen Lang was talking about was Chen Ying, the former assistant of Luo Guowei, the CEO of Hua Xia Region of Carrefour.
She graduated from Europe's top-ranked HEC Business School and held a high position in the management of Carrefour's headquarters.
Later on, due to internal reasons in Carrefour, the power struggle became more serious, and the old and new shareholders changed positions. Chen Ying, who was from Hua Xia Region, was ostracized and transferred back to Hua Xia Region to be the CEO's assistant.
When Chen Lang first went to Carrefour to discuss the merger, he poached Chen Ying.
Later on, Carrefour was acquired by Far away, and Luo Guowei brought a group of foreign executives back to China, but Chen Ying stayed and joined Far Away.
In the early stages, Chen Lang had been in charge of Shanghai.
After Chen Lang left Shanghai, Chen Ying would assume the role of the CEO of Distance Retail Group in Shanghai and take charge of this international metropolis.
Chen Ying, who had worked in Carrefour, had seen the management of a global retail giant. She quickly managed the Far away Retail Group's Shanghai branch in an orderly manner.
Even if Bailian and the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Industry were integrated, and Bailian was the biggest in Shanghai, it did not affect its position and expansion speed Far away.
After Wang Yue and Qi Yunna, she was another female general who had risen up.
The others, such as Liu Qi and Chen Ke, who were Li Dong's secretaries and were now senior executives, were not tough warriors. At most, they were qualified.
Far away, these three women were the only ones who had fought their way to the top with their true strength.
Qi Yunna from North China, Chen Ying from Shanghai, and Wang Yue, who was in charge of the headquarters, were all well-known in the business world.
On the other hand, the female general Wu Shengnan was not as famous as before. She was gradually overshadowed by a few people.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that Dong Yu Real Estate had not made any achievements in the past two years. They only took the land and did not achieve anything.
Seeing Li Dong praising Chen Ying, Chen Lang's face was instantly full of smiles.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Dong suddenly glanced at him and teased, "I say, Professor Chen, don't tell me you have other thoughts about her?"
Chen Lang was stunned. Then, with a face full of grievance, he said helplessly, "General Manager Li, I swear, I really don't have other thoughts. How old is my child? Can I do this kind of thing? What I have for Iris is pure admiration. Besides, I'm already an old man. She won't be interested in me, right? "
"Hahaha, so you're saying that if she likes you, you'll still be with her?"
"Absolutely not!"
Chen Lang's face was full of determination. After a while, he coughed softly and said, "Besides, it's not good for a woman to be overbearing. I don't really like this kind of woman."
Li Dong could not help but laugh again. Then, he sighed and said, "A strong woman is almost a saint now.
Wang Yue and Chen Ying are not young anymore, and they're both unmarried.
Director Sun and Director Wang used to have some feelings for each other, but later on, Director Wang did well in Southwest, and the two of them split up in the blink of an eye.
Over in Beijing, Yun Na's relationship with her husband doesn't seem to be very good either. Tell me, what's going on?
Far away has almost become a stronghold of bachelors!
The corporation's CEO is unmarried, the two vice-CEOs are unmarried, the retail corporation's Shanghai CEO is unmarried, the Gan Province CEO is unmarried, the Dong Yu Corporation's CEO is unmarried, and the Far away Technology's CEO is unmarried.
The CEO of the mobile business group is unmarried, and the director of Weibo's international business group is unmarried … "
As Li Dong spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to count anymore. If I continue to count, I won't be able to face anyone."
Chen Lang laughed dryly. He wanted to say that there was still a chairman of the board who was unmarried.
However, the percentage of Far away's executives who were unmarried was indeed higher. This had something to do with Far away's rapid rise and the fact that the executives were too young.
Take the CEO, Yuan Chengdao, for example. He was already a CEO, but he was actually not that old. He was only in his thirties.
Sun Tao had always been a veteran in the corporation, synonymous with a calm old man.
But in reality, Sun Tao was not even 40 years old yet.
As for Liu Hong, he had just graduated from his Ph.D. a few years ago and was not even 40 years old yet.
Over at Distance Yuan, there were very, very few managers who were over 40 years old. There were only a few of them, such as Chen Lang and Qin Hai.
It was actually normal for unmarried people to be below 40 years old.
When one's career had reached this stage, their standards would also be higher. Ordinary people might not be interested in them, but those who were interested in them did not necessarily have to get married at this time.
After chatting for a while, Chen Lang continued, "The Shanghai branch has moved to the 78th floor of the Worldwide Building. According to your original intention, we were planning to rent the 93rd floor. The 94th floor and above are all sightseeing floors. However, the 79th floor and above has been rented by the Park Hyatt Hotel. They want to build the world's highest hotel and restaurant. The place we rented is small, so the management did not agree to rent the highest floor to us. "
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "If they don't want to rent it, so be it. When the Far away branch in Shanghai is completed, we won't be staying there. In this day and age, why should we be afraid of not having a place to stay if we have money? 15 million a year. That's what I said before. Otherwise, who the hell would rent an office here? "
The Worldwide Financial Center was about 3,000 square meters and above. The rent was not cheap at all. 15 yuan per square meter per day. If they rented the entire floor, the daily rent would be close to 50 thousand.
For the whole year, 15 million was considered low even if there was a discount.
Li Dong wanted to save face. If not, he could have stayed in the securities building for another two years and saved tens of millions of expenses.
Of course, these were all minor details. Li Dong and Chen Lang exchanged a few words and changed the topic.
…
At the same time.
In Shanghai.
Qin Yuhan packed her things and instructed Qi Fangfang, "Help me keep an eye on things. I'll be going out for a while. If I don't come back tonight, just let the chefs get off work."
Qi Fangfang stared at her for a while and winked. "Where are you going? Who are you meeting? Bring me along. I promise I won't talk much. "
Qin Yuhan said angrily. "What are you thinking? Li Dong is coming to Shanghai today. I'll pick him up."
"Li Dong is coming!"
Qi Fangfang said excitedly. "Great! You didn't tell me and almost made me miss a good opportunity! I'm ready to jump ship and become the boss of a faraway place at any time. How can I let go of this opportunity? How long will he stay in Shanghai? I won't be a third wheel since you guys have not met for a long time. Tomorrow, you can tell me his whereabouts. I'll meet him by chance … "
Qin Yuhan was speechless. "Meet your head. You think he doesn't know you're here? You'll see later. Also, you've only been here for a few days and you're already thinking of jumping ship? I'm not done here yet. Let's talk about it after I'm done. You'll be a supervisor if you don't finish the work. "
Qi Fangfang sighed and said helplessly, "I've boarded a pirate ship. I shouldn't have said that I'm working for you. I should've changed it to helping you."
"The result will be the same."
Qin Yuhan ignored her. She took the car key and was about to leave.
Before she left, Qi Fangfang suddenly pulled her back and frowned. "Yuhan, don't be so silly, okay?
I know you and Li Dong are close. You're childhood sweethearts and you've never been picky about each other.
But he's a celebrity now. He goes to high-end places and meets people with high status.
If you go to see him dressed like this, those who know will have nothing to say. Those who don't know will think you're a passerby.
Don't you have a few high-end clothes? Even if you don't care and Li Dong doesn't care, you still have to be mindful of what outsiders think.
If you meet the media and they take photos, who knows what they'll say.
Who knew what she would say when she turned around to look?
Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for Li Dong. Otherwise, some gossipy fellows might say that Li Dong treats his woman harshly and can't even bear to buy her clothes.
Don't you think so? "
Qin Yuhan was stunned for a moment. She really didn't care much about this.
She had always been used to dressing like this.
Even if she didn't rely on Li Dong, she could be considered a rich woman now. It wouldn't be difficult for her to change into a few high-end clothes.
In fact, Li Dong had bought quite a few for her.
But the power of habit was terrible. Unless it was a very formal occasion, Qin Yuhan usually wouldn't change out of these clothes.
In her opinion, it was very normal for her to see Li Dong. It wasn't the first time they had met, so there was no need to make it so serious.
However, after listening to what Qi Fangfang said, Qin Yuhan suddenly felt that it made sense.
Even if she didn't mind, Li Dong probably wouldn't mind either. But what about other people?
If others saw Li Dong, the world's most famous young entrepreneur, with a woman who was dressed ordinarily, they would probably have all sorts of thoughts.
Of course, the clothes she was wearing were not cheap goods. The total value of her clothes was at least a few thousand dollars.
But compared to Li Dong's status, it paled in comparison.
Clothes might not mean anything. In fact, many people didn't even care about it, including Li Dong himself. In fact, he dressed more casually.
Sometimes, when people bought him clothes that were worth hundreds or even tens of dollars, Li Dong would wear them and run around without saying a word.
But as a woman, while the man was carefree and didn't care about these things, the woman had to do her best not to embarrass Li Dong.
Maybe it was because when they first met, both of them were too lowly. Qin Yuhan rarely accompanied Li Dong in public, and she rarely came into contact with the big shots that Li Dong knew.
She didn't have the concept of coming and going.
Until now, when Qi Fangfang mentioned it, Qin Yuhan came to a sudden realization. As if waking up from a dream, she quickly said, "Then I'll go back and change first. I don't know if I can make it …"
Qi Fangfang saw that she was flustered and said helplessly, "What's the hurry? It won't take long to change clothes.
If I were you, I would have prepared yesterday. I would have gone to the spa and changed my hairstyle.
How many years has it been since you had this hairstyle?
Sometimes, men are nostalgic and like to see the original.
But after a long time, they will get tired of it. You have to change your look and let him feel refreshed.
How about this, you call him and say that you can't go now. You will see him at night.
Later, I will accompany you to get your face done, change your hairstyle, and change your clothes. I guarantee that when Li Dong sees you, he will wander around you like a little wolf dog … "
Qin Yuhan burst into laughter and couldn't help but say, "What are you talking about? There's no need for that. I'll just change clothes …"
"As long as you listen to me, would I harm you?"
Qi Fangfang had an experienced expression and said with emotion, "You just don't know how to change yourself. Tell me, which man is willing to eat cucumber with sauce for five years in a row? Although you are a cucumber, you still have to change dishes. Pickled cucumber, cucumber scrambled eggs, cucumber stir-fried diced meat … "
Seeing that she mentioned seven to eight cucumber dishes in one breath, Qin Yuhan couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "You are the cucumber!"
Qi Fangfang rolled her eyes and said, "I was just making an example. Anyway, that's what I mean. You are still too inexperienced. Learn more from me. If you want to control a man, then you have to make him be willing to be controlled by you. I say, when you do that, you won't always be in one position, right? Do you want big sister to teach you how to unlock it? I have seen a lot of porn movies, and there are all kinds of positions … "
"Go to hell! The more you talk, the more ridiculous it is! "
Qin Yuhan's pretty face blushed and she scolded in annoyance. But in her heart, she muttered, "Is it really like this?
Do all men like this kind of novelty?
Also, the position that Fangfang mentioned to unlock it …
Bah!
Qin Yuhan couldn't help but spit lightly. What was she thinking about? Besides, Fangfang was only good at talking. What did she know?
Although she thought so, Qin Yuhan still couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to the beauty salon?"
Qi Fangfang smiled and said, "Alright, stop pretending. Believe me. Tonight, your Li Dong won't be able to escape from your evil clutches. Remember to put in a good word for me tomorrow. I want to be the boss!"
"In your dreams!"
Qin Yuhan said, but she couldn't help but pick up the phone and dialed Li Dong's number.
…
World Financial Center.
Before Li Dong got out of the car, his phone rang.
After a few words, Li Dong smiled and said, "Since you can't leave because of something, I will look for you when I am done here. Also, let Qi Fangfang play by herself tonight. Don't cause trouble. "
"Pfft!"
Qin Yuhan's laughter came from the other side of the phone. After a while, Qi Fangfang's roar could be heard.
Li Dong couldn't help but laugh. He said a few words and hurriedly hung up the phone.
This goddess … She was still so neurotic after all these years. She could be considered an anomaly.
After hanging up the phone, before Li Dong got out of the car, he saw Chen Ying and the others waiting in front of the door.
Li Dong slightly tidied up his clothes. The smile on his face disappeared and instantly turned into a serious expression. Only then did he open the door and get out of the car.
It was not easy to change one's face without a certain realm.
