Not to mention that Ma Yun and the others were prepared to send him warmth, and not to mention the internal strife of Bailian.
Li Dong got in the car and thought for a moment before saying, "Go to L'Oréal R&D Center."
"General Manager Li, do you want to change cars?" Tan Yong asked subconsciously.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "No need. Isn't L'Oréal our partner? Last time, they developed a few products for us. I feel that there are some problems. This time, I will go to the R&D Center to give my opinion."
Tan Yong's mouth twitched. He said it as if it was true.
Have you seen those products before? Have you used them before?
Only the boss dared to voice out his opinion when he didn't know anything.
Of course, he knew what Li Dong was going to do, so he did not ask again.
The reason why he wanted to change cars was because this time, he was driving Li Dong's Maybach from Jiangbei. It was still somewhat well-known, so he did not want to be recognized.
Now that Li Dong did not care, Tan Yong had nothing to say.
…
The R&D Center of L'Oréal was relatively remote.
It took about an hour to drive from the city.
When Li Dong arrived, it was almost two in the afternoon.
Tan Yong stopped the car at the entrance of the park, turned around and said, "General Manager Li, do you want to go eat something first? I haven't eaten since noon. "
"There's a staff cafeteria in the park, right? Go in and eat. "
Tan Yong's mouth twitched again. Was it really appropriate for a big entrepreneur to come to someone else's cafeteria to eat?
Slander was slander. Tan Yong could not do anything about it.
Li Dong had always been more casual. Since he wanted to eat, then he could only accompany him.
In the end, before the two of them entered the park, they were stopped by the security guards.
The older security guard obviously didn't know Li Dong. After asking a few questions, he said, "If you're looking for someone, you have to get someone from inside to pick you up, or call the security office. Otherwise, you won't be allowed in."
Li Dong said helplessly, "With this face of mine, I can't even enter the door. I really wasted my time. And here I thought I was famous."
The middle-aged security guard obviously didn't understand what he meant. Even if he did, he probably wouldn't take it seriously.
Li Dong had just parked the car outside, so the security guard did not see it. Of course, he would not think too much about it.
If the two of them had driven to the entrance, the security guard probably wouldn't have said so much. At any time, a facade project was indispensable.
As for Li Dong's suit and leather shoes, the security guard didn't take it too seriously.
In Shanghai, to put it bluntly, there were three types of people who wore suits and leather shoes: insurance salesmen, real estate agents, and door-to-door salesmen.
As for Li Dong's suit, it looked quite handsome and fit better than the other suits, which was beyond the recognition of the security guards.
In any case, Li Dong wasn't a local, and he looked young. Adding on to the fact that he was a foreign investor, the security was strict, so it was natural that Li Dong was not allowed to enter.
However, Li Dong couldn't be bothered to make things difficult for a security guard. After a brief pondering, he took out his phone and gave a call to Yuan Xue.
It took a while before the call connected. Yuan Xue was clearly busy with her work as she softly asked, "What's wrong? Give me a call after work. I'm working now. "
"Are you busy?"
"Yeah. I have a meeting later, and I have a few cases to deal with in the afternoon."
"What time does your canteen close?"
Yuan Xue stared blankly for a moment before asking, "Where are you?"
"Guess!" Li Dong chuckled.
"What's there to guess? You can't be in Shanghai, right?" Yuan Xue was a little helpless.
"Smart. I wanted to give you a call last night, but it was a little late, so I didn't call. I'm now at the entrance of your company, but the security guard won't let me in. Do you want to come over? "
"You're at the entrance of the company!"
Yuan Xue was shocked, and she couldn't help but raise her voice. Her department manager happened to pass by. She frowned slightly and said, "Yuan Xue, the meeting is about to start. I'll hang up first!"
Yuan Xue hurriedly said, "Right away, right away."
Even so, Yuan Xue continued to speak into the phone, "Are you really here?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you? I'm waiting at the entrance."
"You … Really, why didn't you tell me in advance!"
Yuan Xue said. She didn't expect Li Dong to come here. This guy is also a celebrity. If he is recognized …
Yuan Xue's face was a little red. Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw the manager frowning and staring at her.
Thinking that Li Dong was still waiting outside, Yuan Xue couldn't care less if the manager was angry or not. She quickly said, "Sister Wang, I have something to do downstairs. I'll be back soon …"
"Yuan Xue, the meeting is going to start soon!"
The female manager's tone was a little unfriendly. She had been unhappy with Yuan Xue for a long time.
All women were jealous. When Yuan Xue arrived, all the male employees in the department glanced over and stared at her all day long.
That was fine. She was good-looking, and that was her capital. She couldn't be jealous.
But Yuan Xue followed the director to Jiangbei, and when she came back, she became a permanent employee in advance. Also, the director seemed to value Yuan Xue a lot.
Many people said that this woman might have done it with the director.
It wouldn't be long before this woman, who had just joined the company not long ago, would replace him.
With a sense of crisis, the female manager felt even more uncomfortable with Yuan Xue.
She couldn't do anything to Yuan Xue when the director was looking after her.
But now, the department meeting was about to start, and Yuan Xue still had to go out. Wasn't this embarrassing her?
When the director saw that Yuan Xue wasn't around, she would think that she was purposely pushing her away. This woman was getting more and more arrogant.
Seeing that the manager was about to lose her temper, Yuan Xue was helpless. But she still said, "I'll make another call and go to the meeting room immediately."
"It's working hours. You can deal with personal matters after work! Go to the meeting room first. There's a shortage of manpower there … "
"Sister Wang, I …"
"Yuan Xue, do you still have any professional ethics?" The female manager finally seized the opportunity and reprimanded, "Is it so difficult for me to ask you to help in the meeting room? Work is the most important thing during working hours. You can apply for leave if there's anything. But you have to submit a leave application first, and I'll approve it first. "
Yuan Xue was a little angry. This woman was purposely picking on her.
Although the management of a foreign company was strict, it also gave its employees a lot of personal space.
Usually, it was normal for other people to receive a few calls and make a few calls. Who could be completely fine?
The female manager usually stayed in the office to make calls, and she didn't want to go down. She wanted to call Li Dong again and ask him to wait for a while. But she didn't expect this woman to make a fuss.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Xue suddenly stopped being angry. She looked at the phone that she had forgotten to hang up and said loudly, "Then I'll go to work first!"
Hearing Yuan Xue's words, the female manager was a little disappointed. But she didn't say anything. Even if she was picking on her, she couldn't make it too obvious.
…
Outside the park.
Li Dong listened to the phone for a while and sighed. "Indeed, the underworld is everywhere. It's good to let you suffer a little. You just had to work for others. You must be bullied."
He wasn't too angry. This kind of workplace competition was everywhere.
Even if it was Far away, it was inevitable.
But judging from the woman's tone, she seemed to be deliberately picking on him. Although Li Dong understood, he was still a little unhappy.
Seeing the security guard looking at him like a tiger watching its prey, it was obvious that he had heard something and felt that he was lying.
Li Dong was a little helpless. He thought for a while and said to Tan Yong, "Do you have the number of the person in charge of L'Oréal?"
Tan Yong hurriedly said, "I have the number of the director of their R&D center. It's still in the car. I'll get it for you."
As Li Dong's driver, Tan Yong had a huge list of contacts.
Apart from him, Bai Su was the same.
It was to prevent Li Dong from using it in a timely manner when he needed it.
The number of the guests who went to Pingchuan for the charity night had all been saved. Tan Yong naturally had it too.
…
Tan Yong went to get the number. In the meeting room of the R&D center.
Yuan Xue had just entered when Liu Yue, who was busy, said, "You're being targeted by the old witch again? I can hear her roaring inside. Ah Xue, when are you going to show her what you're made of? Why don't I help you beat her up, and you can introduce me to Far away? "
Yuan Xue laughed and said, "Far away is better than this?"
"How can it be the same? Far away with you, I'll definitely have a good life there. It's so depressing to be someone's nanny here. Logically speaking, I should have become a permanent employee by now. It's obvious that the old witch is targeting us. Ah Xue, why don't you talk to Li Dong … "
Before Liu Yue could finish, Yuan Xue laughed and said, "If you want to talk to him, you can talk to him later. I won't say anything anyway."
"What should I say? I can't meet him …"
Liu Yue suddenly paused, then said in surprise, "What do you mean? I'll say it myself. Is Li Dong in Shanghai? "
"Yes, he's at the entrance. He was stopped by the security."
"What the heck!"
Liu Yue was dumbfounded. "The security stopped him? He's still outside? "
"Yes, I was just about to go down, but I was stopped …"
As Yuan Xue was speaking, the female supervisor walked in again and scolded, "Hurry up, the director and the others are about to arrive. Yuan Xue, go make tea first. Liu Yue, be quick. Did you not eat?"
Liu Yue rolled her eyes and did not take her words to heart.
But when Yuan Xue said that Li Dong was still waiting downstairs, Liu Yue felt as if there was grass growing in her heart. She could not wait to fly down and see.
With Li Dong's fiery temper, would he beat up the security guard and then rush up to beat up the director?
…
Liu Yue thought too much.
At Li Dong's current level, even if he really wanted to beat someone up, he would not beat up the security guard or the director of their company.
If he met Ma Yun and the others and had the opportunity to beat them up, then Li Dong would not be polite.
But at this moment, with the difference in status, Li Dong did not have the mood to beat them up.
After calling the director of L'Oréal, Li Dong joked with the security guard at the entrance, "Uncle, are you sure you won't let me in?"
The security guard said warily, "Look at the sign yourself. Sales personnel are not allowed in!"
Li Dong said with a smile, "Look at me. Do you think I look like a sales person? Uncle, you need to practice your eyesight. Do you believe that you will respectfully invite me in later? "
The security guard's eyelids drooped and he did not bother to reply.
If it was not for Tan Yong's ability, he would definitely not have a good attitude when Li Dong teased him.
Li Dong did not mind. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, look behind you. Your boss is here."
The security guard subconsciously turned his head and saw the director of the center running to the entrance with a few people.
The security guard was stunned for a moment and hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Dong.
He saw the young man who was smiling mischievously just a moment ago return to a serious expression in the blink of an eye.
This change in aura made the security guard speechless for a moment.
There was no need for him to say anything. The director of the center was smiling from afar and greeted loudly, "General Manager Li, why didn't you tell us before you came? If we knew you were coming, we would have gone to pick you up. Open the door quickly. What are you waiting for? Who asked you to block General Manager Li outside? You have no manners! "
After reprimanding the security guard, the director of the center hurriedly came out and shook hands with Li Dong. Then, he said with an apologetic face, "General Manager Li, I'm really sorry to have let you see such a joke. We just moved here not long ago, and these security guards are not from our company. They are all dispatched from other places. Their knowledge is limited, and they almost made a big joke. "
Li Dong said with a smile, "It's fine. It's a good thing to do your duty. I like this kind of serious people. I should be the one apologizing for my abrupt arrival. Director Ding, you don't have to be polite with me. I'm just bored, so I wandered around and happened to see L'Oréal. I was thinking about the products that you guys developed for us last time, so I'm a little curious and want to take a look. Is it convenient for you, Director Ding? "
"Yes, it's absolutely convenient!"
How could the director of the center say that it was not convenient? Far away was their top distributor now.
Although L'Oréal had also built many brand stores, they could not rely on themselves to build their distribution channels. Hypermarkets were their main focus.
Far away was the second largest hypermarket company in Shanghai, and it was also one of the top hypermarkets in the country.
L'Oréal was also a foreign company, so they naturally hoped to cooperate more closely with Far away.
In addition, they heard that Far away Retail's Chairman, Chen Lang, had the intention to set up a boutique supermarket. In this case, there would be more value in cooperating with these high-end cosmetics companies.
After all, the value of L'Oréal's products was not low. If they could enter Far away's boutique supermarket and have a few counters, it would definitely be beneficial.
Now that the big boss, Li Dong, personally came to visit the company, there was no reason to refuse.
And now, the overall strength of Faraway Group was enough to enter the world's top 500, and its ranking might even be higher than L'Oréal.
In front of a dictator like Li Dong, not to mention the director of the Hua Xia branch's research and development center, even the president of L'Oréal's Hua Xia branch had no advantage in front of Li Dong.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Director Ding. Why don't you accompany me to the staff area first and let me see the elegance of L'Oréal's employees?"
"General Manager Li is overpraising us. Our employees are not as talented as Far away …"
The director said a few polite words and led Li Dong to the work area.
The security guard at the door was stunned. Is this guy really a big shot?
Until Li Dong left, the security guard remembered that he had just stopped Li Dong. He was depressed and scolded in his heart, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Why didn't you say so earlier? Is it fun to tease a security guard like me?"
If Li Dong had said who he was earlier, even if he had never seen Li Dong before, he would have known about Faraway Group and that Far away had a ridiculously young and rich boss.
