Chapter 161 Three Years Later and Another Three Years
"Peng!"
When Liu Qing pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Cheng Wei severely reprimanding a subordinate. Hearing the noise, he seemed to have thrown something.
Cheng Wei seemed to have noticed her arrival, and after cursing a few words, he waved his hand to tell this unfortunate guy to get lost. Liu Qing, who rushed forward, greeted her slightly and quickly fled the office.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a little thing."
Cheng Wei's expression just now was ugly, but facing Liu Qing, his most relied-upon partner, he certainly had a different expression.
Liu Qing originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but thinking of the scene just now, she reminded her:
"Will, the people below have been spreading rumors in the past two days, saying that you have been in a bad mood recently, so they don't dare to come to you to report on work."
"I know that these two recent incidents are not good news for us, but calming down first can give the entire team more confidence."
Everyone understands this truth, but it is difficult to control things like temper, especially when facing one's subordinates.
Therefore, being scolded by your boss sometimes has little to do with any mistakes you have made, it is simply a matter of chance.
Cheng Wei felt a little unhappy with Liu Qing's preaching and complained to her:
"I just feel very sorry. I originally thought that this time would be enough to make Wanli Travel run out of gas, but I didn't expect that they could come back to life with Factory A."
"Two billion US dollars is not a small amount. According to last year's consumption rate, it is almost enough to support Lin Yi for a year, and Uber's consumption is even smaller."
"As for Uber, I simply doubt where it got its money. Their scale is only a fraction of ours. They raised US$3.2 billion twice. How much valuation is this?"
"Incomprehensible!"
"When I think that we will have to fight this senseless war of attrition with him throughout 2016, I feel a little discouraged."
"Counting from the beginning of 2014 when Wanli Travel started the subsidy war, it is now in its third year. If this trend continues, will it be another three years after three years?"
"I don't know when I will be able to survive."
Cheng Wei felt more relaxed after saying something from his heart, but after all, he was not a guy who only complained. Seeing Liu Qing's silent and quick manner, he adjusted his attitude and tone:
"But you are right. I will pay attention to controlling my emotions and set a good example for everyone. Everyone should be under a lot of pressure during this period."
"Jean, what brings you here?"
Cheng Wei finally changed the topic on his own, and Liu Qingqing let it go. She handed Cheng Wei a report.
"This is a new round of financing plan. Since the last round of financing, we have always maintained good communication and interaction with investors."
She paused when she said this, and after thinking about it, she still didn't add the supplement "except factory a".
"This round of financing is from prospective investors who have accumulated funds in the past six months. It was originally planned to be included in the entire pool with the next round of formal financing in June or July."
"But since Wanli Travel and Uber have each received US$2 billion, the financial pressure is now on our side."
"In order to prevent any problems, I suggest that we take this money first to replenish our cash reserves, so that we can handle it even if Wanli Travel and Uber come up with tricks."
They had discussed this matter before Liu Qing implemented it. Cheng Wei simply glanced at the financing amount on the plan and said nothing more.
"Just do as you say. When will it be implemented?"
"After the Spring Festival."
Liu Qing originally planned to turn around and leave after getting his permission, but before taking a step, she turned back and said to him:
"There won't be another three years, I promise."
Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was answering the question he had just casually complained about. When he wanted to say something, Liu Qing had already left without looking back.
He thought to himself that since even Liu Qing was so confident, he, the leader of the company, had to cheer up.
And Liu Qing, who had just left Cheng Wei's office, was also thinking about what he said just now.
She is not a careless person. Since she said that, she must have something in mind. The reason why she did not discuss it with Cheng Wei is because she has no idea yet.
Liu Qing originally wanted to call a relative of his, but then he thought about it. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there seemed to be a better opportunity to discuss this plan.
…
In 2016, New Year’s Eve falls in early February, and the legal holiday lasts almost until Valentine’s Day.
There was no particularly urgent situation in the company this year. Lin Yi naturally had to go home during the Chinese New Year, but he met with Gu Caiwei before leaving Beijing.
"Are you still recording the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing on New Year's Eve?"
"Yes, we have rehearsed several times."
"This year you are finally not on the show alone, but five of you give me five are on stage together as a group?"
"Yes, since we won the Best Female Singer at this year's Zhiyin Awards, few people in the circle now question our background as a girl group."
"Why do I feel that by inviting five of you, China Television is not so much recognizing you as the Soulmate Award, but rather thinking that the crowd looks lively?"
"Haha, you are talking nonsense!"
Although Gu Caiwei categorically denied it, she still felt that given the urinary nature of Zhongshi and the tone of the Spring Festival Gala, these words actually sounded reasonable and a bit funny.
Lin Yi complained casually, hesitated slightly and suggested: "Then you are alone in the capital during the Chinese New Year, how about I stay with you?"
"No."
Although Gu Caiwei also hoped to spend the Chinese New Year with Lin Yi or two, she still said very reasonably:
"You rarely go back to Lin'an now. If you don't go back during the Chinese New Year, won't Auntie want to blame me?"
"Besides, I'm not alone. My teammates and I have made an appointment to celebrate together after the Spring Festival Gala performance, and then we will fly back to Yuezhou to meet up with our families as soon as possible."
The aunt Gu Caiwei mentioned was of course Ms. Yu Xiujuan. Lin Yi knew that she had always been very supportive of his relationship with Gu Caiwei.
As for those teammates Gu Caiwei and them, they can only be said to be colleagues, and their relationship is both close and distant. It is really difficult for them to spend the New Year together.
However, since the last time Gu Caiwei said that she wanted to support him, the relationship between the two of them has become closer. There is no need to engage in any duplicity and play-for-get tactics.
Since Gu Caiwei was so considerate, Lin Yi did not insist. Xiao Gu also took the initiative to change the topic:
"By the way, Jiaqi has been an intern at your place for more than half a year. Have you taken good care of her as you promised me?"
In fact, Zhang Jiaqi didn't have a few good words to say about Lin Yi, and it would be considered a compliment if it didn't hurt, so Gu Caiwei wouldn't feel that Lin Yi had abused her.
To be honest, Lin Yi had forgotten about this matter.
He seemed to have dumped Zhang Jiaqi in the legal department and never asked about it again. This guy had never even been an intern in front of him.
Lin Yi once explained the relationship between the two people to the company's human resources manager, which meant that he would look after her secretly.
Since she didn't report to him, it means that Zhang Jiaqi didn't do anything special.
So at this moment Lin Yi could say without shame: "Don't worry, she will definitely not have any problems with me."
As soon as Lin said this, he thought of a question: "But didn't Zhang Jiaqi say that she only needs an internship report to take back to Hunong School? I thought she wouldn't come after the summer vacation, why haven't she left yet?"
He was very sure that Zhang Jiaqi had not left yet, otherwise even if she did not say hello to Lin Yi, her subordinates who had been instructed would report it.
"I don't know either. She will graduate this year. Maybe she wants to stay and work?"
Gu Caiwei looked confused.
Lin Yi still remembered that Zhang Jiaqi had vowed to become a lawyer and become a "partner of justice." He didn't know why this lawyer worked so hard, but he had no intention of exploring the changes in her mentality.
If Zhang Jiaqi is really willing to stay and travel in Wanli, she can fully meet the requirements based on her conditions, which is nothing more than an extra salary.
The two quickly let go of the topic of Zhang Jiaqi, and after saying goodbye reluctantly, Lin Yi left the capital.
On New Year's Eve that year, he silently counted in his mind that he had returned here in 2010, and now it was already 2016.
Three years later, another three years, time flies like lightning.
