In the office of Tianyuan East Road, Zheng Guanjin and Cao Jiande had a detailed discussion about the construction of the electronics factory and their expectations for the future.
"All in all, we'll focus on mobile phones in the future. However, when the factory is newly established, we may try other products in order to make money quickly."
An hour and a half later, the conversation ended. Kong Jing invited Cao Jiande again, "Minister Cao, the 480 acres of land is still a blank piece of paper. I hope that we can work together to paint a gorgeous high-tech picture scroll."
"Thank you. I'll go back and think about it."
Cao Jiande didn't agree rashly. Although the blueprint of the new factory was beautiful and he was optimistic about the future development, Kong Jing, the general manager, was also very elegant.
His only concern was that the real boss hadn't shown up yet.
Kong Jing understood, "This is an important decision that will affect the development of your family. You really need to discuss it with your wife. I'll confirm it again tomorrow morning. If you still don't want to accept it, I'm sorry."
"So soon?"
Cao Jiande was a little surprised. Kong Jing's invitation was very sincere, but she only gave him one night to make a decision. It meant that although she valued him, she could give him up at any time.
"Because time is tight. The boss doesn't want that place to be a wasteland after the Spring Festival. We must do something before the Spring Festival."
Kong Jing led Cao Jiande down the stairs. Several employees on the first floor stood up to see them off politely.
"We were talking about work just now, so I didn't introduce them to you."
Kong Jing pointed at them and said, "Nie Xiaoyu, Qiu Anping, Zhang Mingrong and Wen Ling. Nie Xiaoyu is the boss's full-time secretary, and Wen Ling is my assistant."
Cao Jiande didn't realize that they were all girls until now. Zhang Mingrong seemed to have just become an adult, but she pretended to be mature and took the initiative to shake hands with him.
"They're very young. They should be college students, right?" Cao Jiande asked.
"Anping and Wen Ling just graduated from college, and Xiaoyu is a college student."
Kong Jing looked at Zhang Mingrong's sad face and said with a smile, "As for Mingrong, she's about to go to college."
This was not considered a lie. In the future, Zhang Mingrong might be studying for an undergraduate degree or an adult TV University. This could also be considered as "about to" enter university.
Zhang Mingrong smiled. She was enlightened by Kong Jing's words.
"Nice to meet you. Have we met before?"
However, when Cao Jiande shook hands with Nie Xiaoyu, he had a feeling that he had seen this short-haired girl before.
"I have a common face."
Nie Xiaoyu cleverly replied, "So, anyone who sees me will find me familiar."
In fact, the little secretary had been training in various positions in the New Century Electronics Factory. Once, when Cao Jiande went to inspect the production line, he passed by Nie Xiaoyu, who was wearing a safety helmet.
Hearing Nie Xiaoyu's explanation, Cao Jiande did not doubt it, but he felt a little strange because Nie Xiaoyu's delicate features were not as simple as a "common face".
Looking at these youthful faces, for some reason, Cao Jiande suddenly thought of Chen Hansheng. He seemed to be a college student as well.
However, this university student had stirred up quite a storm. Not only had he caused a senior executive like himself to resign, but he had also indirectly changed the structure of the New Era.
"I know a college student too. I think he's from the University of Finance and Economics nearby. I always thought he was inexperienced, but I didn't expect him to teach me a lesson today."
Cao Jiande sighed.
"University of Finance?"
Zhang Mingrong was young, so she spoke quickly. "What's his name? Maybe we know him."
"Chen Hansheng."
Cao Jiande said in a complicated tone, "He used to create Rocket 101. To be honest, I'm a little scared to get along with him."
"Then …"
Zhang Mingrong rolled her eyes and asked with a dragging tone, "You won't be colleagues with him?"
"It's more difficult. You can say it's either him or me."
Cao Jiande answered with certainty.
"I see."
Zhang Mingrong turned to look at the others.
Kong Jing looked at the scenery outside the glass door, Nie Xiaoyu looked down at her feet, Qiu Anping was arranging the documents on the table, Wen Ling was carefully fiddling with the potted plants, and no one seemed to have heard the conversation just now.
"Actually, I don't know who Chen Hansheng is."
Zhang Mingrong smiled brightly.
… ….
After Cao Jiande drove away, he saw that it was still early, so he went to Dongshan Foreign Language Primary School to pick up his daughter.
His daughter was wearing a school uniform with two cute braids. Seeing his little angel, Cao Jiande's worries and pressure in his heart disappeared instantly.
"What did the teacher teach you today?"
"The multiplication formula. Daddy will recite it for you. One by one is one, two by two is two …"
A clear child's voice sounded in the car. Cao Jiande listened with a smile, then he suddenly asked, "Darling, do you like the school now?"
"Yes, I do."
His daughter said loudly, "I really like Mr. Zhou."
"Oh, that's good."
Cao Jiande nodded. When he passed by the market, he bought some meat and vegetables.
Seeing that it was a regular customer, the vendor took the initiative to put a handful of green onions in.
When he returned to the residential area, the neighbors who were taking a walk downstairs greeted him warmly, and Cao Jiande also responded politely.
Cao Jiande rarely noticed these small scenes in his life in the past. He seemed to be used to everything here, and also used to waking up in the morning and driving to the Industrial Avenue to work.
Until one day when he might have to leave, Cao Jiande finally realized that if he went to an unfamiliar environment, not only would he have to settle down, he would also have to adapt to a new job, new neighbors, and even a new market.
"Why don't I just stop thinking about it and directly accept Manager Kong's invitation?"
Cao Jiande suddenly understood that if the new job was next to the old one, the salary would not decrease, but increase, and the living environment would not change. This was not a coincidence, but a kind of luxury.
"Hello, Manager Kong."
Cao Jiande immediately called Kong Jing, "Thank you for your kindness. I am willing to do my best for the development of the new factory under Manager Kong's leadership."
"Have you discussed it with your wife?"
Kong Jing asked on the phone.
"There is no need to discuss it. She will definitely support me."
Cao Jiande wiped the sweat on his forehead. Such an opportunity was in front of him, but he did not cherish it. Instead, he delayed for a night before accepting.
"Well, you can come to work tomorrow. There are many things to do, and Factory Manager Cao needs to be prepared."
Kong Jing had already changed the way she addressed him.
"Okay, thank you, Manager Kong. By the way, please convey my gratitude to the boss."
Cao Jiande also changed his attitude.
After hanging up the phone, Kong Jing contacted Chen Hansheng and reported, "Cao Jiande has accepted the invitation. He will come to work tomorrow."
"That's fast. I thought he would only agree tomorrow."
Chen Hansheng also did not expect this. "Then arrange for him to work quickly. After all, he is the first executive in the new era who openly came to work for us. Cao Jiande is a living example. It is better than ten thousand words from us."
"Okay, but he seems to have a bad impression of you. How will you meet him in the future?"
Kong Jing was a little worried.
"It's okay."
Chen Hansheng said indifferently, "Old Cao's greatest contribution to the new factory is the planning and management of the workshop. I can come out and meet him after he has completed his mission."
"At that time, if he accepts this fact, we will be good brothers. If he doesn't accept it, then there is nothing I can do."
