In the conference room.
More and more people came, and the room was soon full.
Yuan Xue and Liu Yue were also sitting, but their seats were more remote, especially Liu Yue, who was sitting at the last seat by the door.
Yuan Xue could sit slightly forward, but she and Liu Yue were used to sitting together, so she was too lazy to change seats. She still sat at the edge.
Everyone was here, but the director and the other two managers were not.
Seeing that the meeting time was over, the conference room gradually became noisy.
Although foreign companies had all kinds of problems, it had to be said that they did one thing well. They would meet at the time of the meeting, and they would not deliberately delay the meeting time.
In fact, domestic companies were similar, but it depended on the situation.
For state-owned enterprises and private workshops, the meeting could be said to be at 7 o 'clock, but it could be at 8 o' clock. In any case, it would not be surprising to drag it out for half an hour.
On the other hand, some large private companies had a more upright style, so this would not happen.
In L'Oréal, it was rare for the main leaders to not arrive when the meeting time was up.
A few department heads were discussing something in low voices, but Liu Yue could not help but move in front of Yuan Xue and said, "Ah Xue, do you think it's because …"
Usually, Liu Yue would not think too much.
But knowing that Li Dong was downstairs, and the director was not here, Liu Yue could not help but think more. She could not help but ask, "Don't tell me the director can't come because he was beaten up?"
Yuan Xue did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? He probably went to pick him up."
This was also why she was not worried about Li Dong. If Li Dong came to L'Oréal, even if he did not go through her, he would still have a way to get in.
And after thinking about it, she felt that it was not very good for her to pick him up alone.
In fact, Yuan Xue quite liked this job. If she really went to pick him up and people found out, it might be very difficult for her to stay here.
Anyway, Li Dong would not be at a disadvantage, so she would let him think of a way himself.
With this thought in mind, Yuan Xue didn't insist on going down to pick him up just now. Who asked that guy to suddenly attack and startle her?
While everyone was discussing, a deputy director suddenly barged in and said loudly, "Everyone, stay alert. Stop talking and keep quiet. Far away, General Manager Li is coming to visit us soon. Don't embarrass the company! Remember, don't talk too much later. If anyone embarrasses the company, you'll have to bear the consequences! "
After saying that, the deputy director said, "Leave one supervisor here. The rest of you, follow me to pick them up."
The other supervisors didn't dare to be negligent. They left behind a supervisor from the Administrative Department, and the rest of them followed.
As soon as they left, the conference room instantly became noisy.
"Who did Director Liu say came?"
"Li Dong. Far away, Li Dong is here!"
"Why isn't there any news at all? He came as soon as he said he would. I was wondering why the director had disappeared. It turns out that he went to pick someone up."
"Do you think our boss is here too?"
"Most likely. Who cares about the boss at this time? Ah Mei, is my makeup ruined? Help me take a look. I'll touch up my makeup. Really, why didn't the director tell us in advance …"
"I'll touch up my makeup too. Aiya, my bag is still in the drawer. Sister Chen, lend it to me …"
"…"
In the conference room, Li Dong's name was constantly being mentioned.
The female employees who felt that they were good-looking were touching up their makeup and talking about them, which made the male employees feel sour in their hearts.
A person's name was like a tree's shadow.
Li Dong hadn't even arrived, but with just a name, these women were going crazy. Did these women think that Li Dong would like them?
He was here to visit the R&D Center, not to see the women. What were they doing?
Although they were jealous, no one dared to say anything at this time, lest they become the target of all the women.
Didn't they see a few female busybodies in their thirties and forties also doing makeup? If they spoke up, they would be scolded to death.
Just as the others were discussing, Liu Yue said excitedly, "Ah Xue, he's really here! Do you think I should greet him later? Also, why don't we sue the old witch? With Li Dong's support, who are you afraid of? Even the director wouldn't dare to touch you. Worst comes to worst, we'll just leave … "
Yuan Xue rolled her eyes at her and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, understand?"
"Ah Xue …" Liu Yue was a little unwilling.
Ever since she knew that Yuan Xue was Li Dong's girlfriend, she really didn't take the managers of L'Oréal seriously.
The last time Li Dong came to Shanghai, he said that he could go to Far away anytime.
And if Yuan Xue went, the Far away City project that was under construction in Shanghai Far away would most likely be handed over to Yuan Xue.
That was a big project that was worth billions. Being a housekeeper there was much better than being bullied here.
Sometimes she didn't understand why Yuan Xue was so low-key.
Even if she didn't go Far away, with Li Dong around, she didn't need to be bullied by others.
Of course, Liu Yue also thought that it might be because Yuan Xue wasn't Li Dong's real girlfriend. This was still a possibility.
Although Li Dong wasn't married, it wasn't a secret that he had a girlfriend.
She used to think that it should be Yuan Xue, but later she felt that it wasn't the case. After all, Li Dong and Yuan Xue didn't meet many times.
Of course, she couldn't rule out the possibility that Li Dong was too busy, but Liu Yue still felt that there was another possibility.
But Liu Yue didn't care. After all, Li Dong was unmarried, and this wasn't important.
Even if he was married, Liu Yue felt that it was better to be a mistress for someone like Li Dong than to find an ordinary person.
She didn't dare to mention this to Yuan Xue, but she made up her mind to follow Yuan Xue.
Liu Yue knew herself well. She didn't think about getting together with Li Dong through Yuan Xue, and Li Dong didn't like her either.
But she was a graduate from a famous school, and she still had some glory. If she lost some weight, she wouldn't be too ugly.
Through Yuan Xue, she might be able to enter Li Dong's upper-class circle.
Even if she was one level lower, many of the executives in Far away were unmarried. If she could get a rich husband, she wouldn't need to be a punching bag and work hard to climb up the ranks.
Even if she didn't get a rich husband, if she got into Far away, it would be much easier for her to climb up the ranks in the future because of Yuan Xue.
In this world, there was no love without reason, and there was no hatred without reason.
Liu Yue and Yuan Xue hadn't known each other for a long time. Was their relationship so good that she would do anything for Yuan Xue?
Not to that extent, not to mention that Yuan Xue was a bit cold, and few people could get along well with her.
Liu Yue and Yuan Xue had such a good relationship because of her own efforts.
No one who could get into a famous school, graduate successfully, and enter a famous company was a fool, and Liu Yue was naturally not a fool.
…
Just as everyone was busy, footsteps came from outside.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully. Someone laughed and said, "Director Ding, if I knew you were in a meeting, I wouldn't have bothered you. I'm so sorry to have delayed your business. "
"General Manager Li, don't say that. It's rare that everyone is here today. Let General Manager Li help us inspect. Everyone in the industry knows that General Manager Li's management skills are first-class, and he has a good eye for people. If you help us take a look, maybe we can unearth a few buried unpolished gems. "
"You flatter me, Director."
"…"
Along with the polite greetings, everyone finally saw the person who came.
As soon as Li Dong entered the door, everyone stood up and shouted, "Hello, General Manager Li, hello, Director!"
Li Dong quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "You're too polite. Director Ding's management skills are really good. If it was Far away, it would have been a mess. L'Oréal is really a gathering of elites. In front of all the elites, I have a little stage fright. "
While Li Dong was exchanging pleasantries with the crowd, one of the people in the crowd had a change of expression.
It was a young male employee, Xu Peng.
Li Dong probably forgot, but Xu Peng did not forget Li Dong.
He knew who Li Dong was, and he often watched the news about Li Dong, fantasizing that one day, he could be as famous as Li Dong.
But Xu Peng knew that this was just his fantasy. To him, Li Dong was like a high mountain.
Today, Li Dong came, and Xu Peng was a little excited. He was finally going to see the legendary business magnate.
But when he saw Li Dong, Xu Peng's heart skipped a beat.
So familiar!
It was not the familiarity of Li Dong in the photo, and this voice was also familiar.
He thought for a while and suddenly looked at Yuan Xue!
Xu Peng remembered!
He had seen Li Dong before!
Last time at a themed café, he took his girlfriend to drink coffee. As a result, he met Yuan Xue, who was also drinking coffee with someone. He even went up to chat a few words.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to that man. Plus, Li Dong wore a hat while drinking coffee, so he didn't care.
But he didn't care anymore. The person was there, so he still took a few glances.
At that time, he didn't think much about it because he didn't know Li Dong. He only saw him on the Internet.
He didn't think that Yuan Xue would have anything to do with Li Dong.
But at this moment, Xu Peng suddenly felt a little confused. The Li Dong in front of him and the man who wore a hat and drank coffee last time gradually overlapped. These two people seemed to be the same person!
Could it be that the last time was also Li Dong?
Then Yuan Xue and Li Dong …
Thinking of this, Xu Peng couldn't help but look at Yuan Xue again. Sure enough, Yuan Xue's gaze was different.
When others looked at Li Dong, especially the women, they couldn't wait to swallow him into their stomach.
Even if they didn't, their eyes were filled with expectation, hoping that Li Dong would notice them.
Only Yuan Xue didn't have expectation or desire in her eyes. There was only a touch of joy and pride.
The way she looked at Li Dong was different from the others.
There was no sense of strangeness, nor was there the uneasiness of meeting a big shot for the first time.
Xu Peng gradually understood in his heart that he shouldn't have guessed wrong. The man who drank coffee last time was Li Dong!
…
Just when Xu Peng was guessing.
Li Dong and Director Ding exchanged a few words, then he looked at Yuan Xue with a smile and said, "Old classmate, why don't you greet me when you see me?"
The conference room suddenly quieted down.
Director Ding wasn't surprised at all. When he brought Yuan Xue to the charity party last time, he knew that Li Dong and Yuan Xue were classmates. This was also one of the reasons why he took care of Yuan Xue.
But last time, Yuan Xue said that they were just ordinary classmates. Although Director Ding took care of her, he didn't pay much attention to her.
But this time, Li Dong suddenly came and claimed his relationship with Yuan Xue in front of everyone. Director Ding had some doubts in his heart.
Just when everyone was stunned, Yuan Xue was happy and angry at the same time. When Li Dong finished greeting her, she suppressed all kinds of emotions and forced a calm smile. "Hello, General Manager Li."
"General Manager Li, are you being polite to me?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "Who are we? Back then, we were sitting in front of each other, and you were my class monitor. You were my leader. Why are you still being polite to me? I knew you were working at L'Oréal last time, and I wanted to visit you several times. I'm here to visit L 'Oréal, so I thought I'd drop by to see you. Let's have lunch together. I haven't had lunch yet. "
Li Dong didn't give her a chance to refute. He looked at Director Ding and said with a smile, "Director Ding, I'm a guest. I can't control my emotions when I see my old classmate and leader. Please forgive me."
Director Ding's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts. What did Li Dong mean?
He said he wanted to visit Yuan Xue at the same time.
But no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he was here to visit Yuan Xue.
After all, if Li Dong really wanted to visit, there was no reason for him to not inform L'Oréal Hua Xia headquarters, and there was no reason for him to come suddenly. L'Oréal wasn't a company Far Away, and Li Dong didn't need to do this.
Director Ding quickly said with a smile, "General Manager Li, you're being too polite. It's my mistake. Yuan Xue is your classmate, and I should have arranged for Yuan Xue to receive General Manager Li when I knew you were coming, so that you can catch up with each other. "
"You're too kind."
Li Dong was polite for a while and chatted with the others. When he found out that one of the female supervisors was the one who talked to Yuan Xue on the phone, Li Dong immediately became polite.
He quickly shook the other party's hand and said with a smile, "General Manager Wang is young and promising. You're already a leader of L'Oréal at such a young age. My old classmate and leader will have to make a living in your hands in the future, so I hope that you can take care of her. She's young and doesn't know how to talk … "
Li Dong was very talkative, but the female supervisor was trembling with fear. Was this really something a classmate should say?
She didn't think much about it before, but now she had to.
Seeing that Li Dong was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, the female supervisor felt a chill run down her spine. The director and a few deputy directors were all here.
Even if they wanted to take care of Yuan Xue, there was no need for them to specially inform her.
When she thought of this and looked at Li Dong's smile, the female supervisor suddenly felt a chill in her heart. Was she going to be unlucky?
The director's meaningful gaze made her feel very uneasy.
…
Seven or eight minutes later, Li Dong left the conference room.
Only Yuan Xue and Tan Yong were left with him.
As for the others, Li Dong refused to accompany them. He said that he was hungry and asked Yuan Xue to accompany him to eat something first.
Who would refuse?
Even if this was someone else's territory, even if Li Dong was just an outsider, no one had any objections when he said he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Director Ding couldn't wait for him to stay a little longer and wait for the company's senior management to come.
He even took the initiative to invite Li Dong to a big hotel outside, but Li Dong refused. He insisted on going to the cafeteria and didn't need anyone to accompany him. Director Ding could only let him be.
When Li Dong left, everyone in the conference room had a strange look in their eyes.
Yuan Xue was actually Li Dong's classmate!
And from the looks of it, she wasn't an ordinary classmate.
Li Dong's trip to L'Oréal seemed to be specially for her. Even the visit had turned into a meal. It was impossible for Li Dong to forget about it.
Both of them were young, and Yuan Xue was also young and beautiful. Could it be …
Everyone couldn't help but let their imagination run wild. The original meeting was suddenly disrupted.
…
Outside the administration building.
Yuan Xue, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said angrily, "You did it on purpose! Are you trying to force me to leave? "
Li Dong pursed his lips and said, "No such thing. I'm just trying to make you look good so that you can work here in the future. After all, you've just graduated. It's normal for you to bully newcomers. Far away, it's not like I can say anything. I'm just taking the opportunity to support you and make your life more comfortable. "
"Really?"
"Of course."
Yuan Xue glared at him and then said softly, "Don't come up with such stupid ideas next time. How can I stay here if you do that? I know you're doing it for my own good, but I like freedom. Now that the whole company knows about it, do you think I can still stay here? "
Yuan Xue felt helpless and touched at the same time.
She felt helpless because she didn't want to be talked about by everyone. It would be best if she could resign.
She was touched because Li Dong had personally made this trip for her. Although she couldn't stay here any longer, he did care about her.
Otherwise, with Li Dong's status, there was no need for him to be polite with those people.
Even the whole of L'Oréal seemed to be powerful, but in Li Dong's eyes, it couldn't bring much benefit to Far away. It was they who begged Far Away, so there was no need for Li Dong to be polite to them.
Li Dong laughed and said, "If you really can't stay here, then don't stay. I know you don't want to go Far away, and you like freedom. I didn't say you have to go Far away. Don't you like to do product development? Do you like making cosmetics? That's easy. I'll invest in a cosmetics company and hire you as the general manager. You'll only serve me, and you won't be bullied by anyone. What do you think? "
Yuan Xue said angrily, "No, I didn't say I like being the general manager. I just like this kind of working atmosphere. Don't always cause trouble for me. I'll let it go this time, but if you cause trouble again, I'll really be angry. "
"Women!"
Li Dong shook his head and said as he walked, "Let's get something to eat first. We'll talk about the rest later. You don't want to be the general manager, and you insist on being a soldier, but not me. Why? Isn't this differential treatment? "
"I'm happy. Why should I be your soldier? You said it yourself, I'm your old leader. Let's hear it." Yuan Xue couldn't help but tease him, and she was overjoyed.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Hi … Leader, hello. I'm really hungry. Why don't you feed me later? I'm serving the people!"
Yuan Xue looked around, and seeing that no one cared, she couldn't help but pinch him and said, "Who's old? You're the old one!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm old."
Li Dong responded cheerfully and followed Yuan Xue to the canteen.
…
On this day, the news of Li Dong eating at L'Oréal's canteen spread quickly throughout the Hua Xia district of L'Oréal.
Not long after, there was even news on the internet.
Many people couldn't help but discuss, "Brother Cannon has so many eccentricities. He doesn't like big restaurants, but the canteen. Is the food in L'Oréal's canteen really that good?"
"It's hard to say. Rich people have many eccentricities. Who knows what they're thinking."
"…"
On this day, the eccentricities of the rich were also dug up on the internet.
Li Dong's fondness for eating in the canteen was not his biggest eccentricity. There were also many big shots who liked to eat in the canteen.
For example, Li Yanhong was a plant lover, Ma Huateng was an astronomy enthusiast, and Ma Yun liked to study martial arts …
These were nothing!
The one that truly shocked everyone was NetEase's Old Ding.
Old Ding's hobby was special. He liked to rear pigs.
Of course, this was just to tease Old Ding. The main thing was that Old Ding had said several times that he wanted to rear his own pigs.
In fact, no one expected Old Ding to really do that. Not long after, he announced that NetEase was going to rear pigs, which confirmed the current rumors.
