He Zhou wasn't a good drinker, so he wasn't willing to drink with her. It was pointless and there was no point in talking about it.
Hence, after finishing two jars, he rejected Sang Chunling's suggestion of drinking beer without a second thought.
After drinking, he scooped a bowl of rice and ate it with pickled vegetables and stir-fried meat.
Seeing that he wasn't drinking anymore, Sang Chunling felt that it wasn't fun to drink alone. She called out to him and didn't leave.
He Zhou stayed there from then on. He commuted to the office every day. It was a simple life.
However, there was a sudden change in his work. According to his mother's suggestion, the express delivery department was separated from the company. The former general manager was promoted to the vice-president of the arbitration department.
He became the head of the express delivery department. On his business card, he became the general manager of BaiTong Express.
None of this was a big deal. He was going to take over his mother's position sooner or later. It was just that he ran a little fast. There was nothing to be surprised about.
What really surprised him was that his mother made the former regional manager of the East China region, Liu Chen, the vice-president of his company. Liu Chen's former secretary, Hao Yingming, became his secretary instead.
He was a little confused by his mother's dazzling maneuvers.
He smiled. "Sister Liu, I'll have to trouble you in the future. There are still many things I don't understand."
He tried his best to read Liu Chen's expression. After all, she had gone from a tycoon with a market value of over ten billion to a vice-president of a small company with a market value of less than three billion. It was normal for her to feel a little different.
"From now on, I'll be working for you." Liu Chen giggled. It was as if this change in personnel made her happy.
He Zhou said, "Actually, you came at the right time. This time, the local express delivery companies are collectively raising their prices. I was discussing with them yesterday whether we should follow suit. We haven't come to a decision yet. You have experience, so I want to hear your opinion."
Liu Chen smiled. "E-commerce express delivery products are becoming more and more homogenous. The cost of manpower, tape, paper, materials, and space are all rising. There's a lot of pressure on profits. From what I know, most express delivery companies are making small profits and breaking even.
Increasing the price of express delivery is inevitable. So, I think we should follow suit. "
He looked at He Zhou's expression and continued, "Increasing the price of express delivery will also motivate us to improve our service."
He Zhou looked at Hao Yingming. Every time he saw her, he would think of her flirtatious eyes.
Hao Yingming smiled. "I support Mr. Liu's suggestion. Once the price is raised, we have to ensure that the changes in the network and the income of the couriers are reflected."
"Then we'll pass." He Zhou slapped his thighs and said with a smile, "Now that you guys are here, I can finally slack off and relax."
He had grown up in a freight station, so he was familiar with the people in the freight station. However, in terms of professionalism, especially in dispatching and strategy, he was far behind the two people in front of him.
It was snowing on the Pu River, but before it could linger on the ground for two minutes, it had already melted and disappeared.
Qu Fu put down the kettle in his hand and stood in front of the dormitory. He held the kettle with both hands, and when the snowflakes fell on his hands, his face was filled with disappointment.
Suddenly, someone shouted at her, "Hey, your date is here!"
She turned around and blushed when she saw that it was He Zhou.
"I'll tear your mouths apart when I get back."
The two girls on the balcony giggled and said to He Zhou, "Handsome, are you going to treat us to a meal?"
He Zhou looked up and said, "All talk and no action. What's the use of words? Come down, I'll treat you guys to a meal now."
He came here often and was already familiar with the girls in Qu Fu's dormitory.
Qu Fu said unhappily, "Ignore them."
He Zhou smiled and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
She only wore a thin sponge coat on the outside. Although the style looked okay, it was obviously old. It was obviously a little tight for her.
He Zhou wanted to give his jacket to her, but he was afraid. On the surface, she was very generous and cheerful, but she might be a sensitive person.
Qu Fu said, "I told you that you're old, but you didn't believe me. This is nothing. I saw the weather forecast, and it's not even half as cold as at home."
Moreover, the air was humid and not dry. If they were at home, she would probably have to rub snake oil ointment all the time. Here, she didn't need to rub anything, and there were no signs of her hands cracking from the cold.
He Zhou said, "Then it's better to wear something thicker just in case."
Qu Fu said, "I have a class later."
"Oh." He Zhou looked calm on the surface, but he was wondering why she had a class. He remembered her class schedule better than the students in her class. "It's fine. I just dropped by to take a look. If you have a class, you can do it."
Qu Fu said, "It wasn't easy to choose it. Today is the first class."
"An elective." He Zhou suddenly realized. "What did you choose?"
Qu Fu said, "China's culture of tomb architecture."
"Ah …" He Zhou couldn't react for a long time. In the end, he smiled and said, "What a unique taste."
"I have a wide range of hobbies." Qu Fu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Have you had lunch?"
He Zhou said, "I have. Go do what you need to do, I'll go back first."
Looking at the water bottle in her hand, he knew that she must have come back from the cafeteria, so even though he was hungry, he said that he had eaten.
"Hey." She called out to him.
"What?" He turned around again.
"I don't have class tomorrow," she said with a smile. "I don't have class for the whole day."
"Really?"
Shouldn't it be English in the morning?
He was stunned again.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to see the Bund?" she asked.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow," He Zhou said with certainty.
"Be there or be square?"
"Of course." He nodded expressionlessly. After watching her leave, he left. After turning a corner, he saw a three-foot tall book. The students passing by looked at him curiously.
He had been excited the whole day.
Hao Yingming asked, "Did you get lucky with the ladies?"
He Zhou said with a smile, "There are so many beautiful women in the company. I'm surrounded by them every day."
"You shouldn't be so talkative," Hao Yingming said.
"That's because you don't know me," He Zhou said.
"You hid it well." Hao Yingming looked back and smiled.
Looking at her enchanting back, He Zhou couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When he got off work, it was still snowing.
When he passed by the market to buy groceries, he saw a couple. Because the wife had lost a hundred dollars, the husband kept complaining non-stop. He was full of resentment. He took out a hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "You lost this, right?"
The man hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "No, mine is change."
He pulled his wife and the two of them continued to quarrel along the way. After a while, the woman finally started to curse back and almost got into a fight on the way.
