Chapter 450 Yuan Xudong asks Luo Yue for a drink in the middle of the night
After squeezing the bus and subway for more than an hour, Luo Yue finally arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel where she applied for a job online.
Shangri-La Hotel's Human Resources Department, the Human Resources Manager read Luo Yue's resume and the letter of recommendation from Scitech Hotel and smiled:
"Ms. Luo, the content of your recommendation letter is very good. You are such a talented person. You have studied abroad at such a young age, and you have also chosen to return to China to work. The group pays special attention to this!"
“Thank you manager!”
"But now there is such an emergency, I must tell you!"
Luo Yue's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard the word "but". According to Chinese speaking habits, the words before the two words are basically nonsense and empty words to comfort people. What she wants to say next is the highlight.
Luo Yue had been abroad for several years, and she didn't like to talk in roundabout ways like now, so she smiled directly and said:
"I'm afraid of hearing the word "but" right now. If I really have to say it, can we not set the stage?"
Hearing this, the HR manager smiled and said:
"Ronald, as the saying goes, every bad news is usually followed by good news."
Luo Yue also smiled and said:
"Then I left the sweet dates behind, and you can give me a slap now."
"Haha, Ronaldinho, you have a very good personality, you are straightforward and have a great sense of humor."
The HR manager laughed twice before saying:
"That's it. Before, you came based on the resume and recommendation letters you sent."
Having said this, the HR manager lowered his voice somewhat embarrassedly and said:
"The position of front office manager was offered to you, but the position was filled last night."
"How can anyone be like you?"
When the HR manager said that the agreed position was gone, Luo Yue stood up from her chair and said angrily:
"Since we have already agreed, how can you recruit people temporarily?"
"Ronald, why are you so anxious? Calm down, come on, sit down and talk."
She was shocked by Luo Yue's violent temper. If it weren't for the fact that she was a returnee from overseas, the HR manager would not be so spoiled by her violent temper and calmed Luo Yue down.
Then he explained in a low voice:
"This is not a temporary recruitment, it is an appointment from above. The new front office manager is the niece of our chairman. Do you understand?"
Hearing that the new front office manager was the niece of the chairman of the group, Luo Yue felt a little uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to retreat and ask:
"What about the good news?"
"The good news is that the group attaches great importance to you, a talent who has studied abroad, so we have specially adjusted your job position and asked you to be the executive bar manager of our hotel, specifically responsible for the top-floor executive bar!"
"Do you really think I'm a hotel rookie?"
After hearing what the HR manager said, Luo Yue felt a little ridiculous and said:
"From the front office manager to the executive bar manager, isn't that to put it bluntly, a more advanced public relations person who delivers cigarettes, drinks, and laughs at the same time?"
"Little Luo, what you said doesn't sound right!"
Hearing what Luo Yue said was unpleasant, the HR manager frowned slightly and said:
"The manager of the administrative bar oversees more than a dozen people. Besides, the hotel itself is a service industry, and it is because we value talents like you that we have arranged the best available position for you. You really shouldn't
I feel I have been wronged. To be honest, there are so many college students and many returnees from overseas. Our hotel has no worries about finding suitable talents!"
What she said made Luo Yue lower her head. She had just returned from abroad, and her last job was the lobby manager of the Dorset Hotel. It was inevitable that she would be a little arrogant. Naturally, she looked down on the small administrative bar manager.
But the manager of the human resources department is right. Don't take yourself too seriously when dealing with others, unless others really insist on you. But the reality is that jobs are getting harder and harder to find, and more and more people are looking for jobs.
too much.
After all, Luo Yue is only in her twenties, a young and beautiful girl, and has studied abroad. According to traditional Chinese culture, the HR manager, as an older man, will naturally not argue with a little girl.
, seeing her downcast, the HR manager comforted her and said with a smile:
"We also know that you have just returned to China and your home is not in Beijing, so you will definitely have difficulties in all aspects of life, so we will find ways to reduce your pressure of renting a house and commuting to and from get off work. The group has decided to provide you with housing and transportation subsidies! "
"Really?"
Unexpectedly, hotel jobs in China would stop providing housing, especially in big cities like Beijing. This is a huge expense. Luo Yue was immediately overjoyed and said:
"The group is really considerate, thank you!"
"You're welcome, how about happy cooperation?"
"Yeah, happy working together!"
On the other hand, after fully understanding the relevant preferential policies for graduates to start their own businesses, Yuan Xudong decided to leave professional matters to professionals. He found a service company with a good reputation to help register his company. He only needed to provide the other party with
A commission of several thousand dollars can save a lot of time on running errands and complicated registration processes. Using this saved time, he can carefully select a suitable office space, purchase office equipment, and recruit company employees.
etc.
The World Financial Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, is 275 meters away from the subway station. This is the office space chosen by Yuan Xudong for Ascenda Capital in the future. The World Financial Center is 24 stories high, has bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and is full of modern international top business complexes.
The building is located in the central business district of Beijing, surrounded by supporting banks, shopping malls, five-star hotels, etc.
Although it is expensive to open a company in such a high-end office building, it can easily give customers a sense of superiority and help them believe that the company has strong capital strength. Of course, it is only for ordinary customers with ordinary backgrounds.
In addition, it is also very face-saving to speak out. Some young and beautiful girls are ignorant. The more prestigious the company looks, the more they blindly worship it. Yuan Xudong wants to take advantage of this to fish, whether it is a gold digger girl or a green tea girl.
As long as they are young and beautiful, he likes them all. Instead of letting them go out and harm those honest people, they might as well harm him, a young and rich scumbag like himself.
Green tea and a money-worshiping girl are paired with a scumbag, and I don't know who is punishing whom, who is fishing for whom, or both?
Yuan Xudong made an appointment online to view the apartment. A middle-aged woman wearing black business attire was waiting for him at the entrance of the World Financial Center. After a simple greeting, the other party took Yuan Xudong directly into the World Financial Center. The office Yuan Xudong wanted to rent was there.
On the twelfth floor of the World Financial Center, the office area is 500 square meters, and the annual rent is about more than 1 million yuan. Three months' rent is paid in advance, the deposit is also three months, the starting period is twelve months, and there are three rent-free periods.
Yue, the price is quite reasonable and Yuan Xudong can accept it.
Under the guidance of the intermediary, Yuan Xudong walked around the office he was about to rent. He felt that it was okay, so he directly settled on it. After bargaining, he signed a lease contract. The final lease price was one million per year, every quarter.
After paying once, this 500-square-meter office on the twelfth floor of the World Financial Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, became Ascendas Capital's first official office location. The moment he left the World Financial Center, Yuan Xudong turned around and looked at
The high-end business center shone in the sun, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and ambition. One day, he would buy it and use it as the headquarters of Ascendas Capital.
After securing the office space, Yuan Xudong immediately found a decoration design company and commissioned them to design and construct the office. It must be in line with the high-end atmosphere and class of a financial investment company.
After all this was done, he began to post recruitment posts on major job search websites. For Ascendas Capital, Yuan Xudong's positioning is to invest in unlisted companies with listing potential, as well as certain development prospects, good asset quality, and annual returns.
Listed companies that are profitable and pay stable and high dividends for many years will allocate part of their funds to invest in companies that are in the spotlight, such as new energy vehicles, etc. This will take into account stable profits and growth potential to increase the company's risk resistance.
On this basis, we then use our capital advantage to do intraday high-frequency reversal trading of some stocks, etc. In short, it is to make money and use existing money to generate more money. The company does not produce any actual products, but only makes money itself.
Yuan Xudong posted positions online such as personnel manager, stock trader, company front desk, software engineer, financial director, etc. Before the company officially started operation, he first set up the most basic framework, and Zhang Mingyang and Cheng Hao's dental clinic was the company
The first offline investment project, the project is estimated to be around 5 million yuan, which is just used to hone the company's business processes and capabilities.
Just when Yuan Xudong was too busy to touch the ground, night fell and the whole city gradually lit up, with busy traffic and thousands of lights, it looked like a prosperous and prosperous era. Such a beautiful urban night scene, in which I have been busy all day
Office workers, on the other hand, have no time to appreciate such a beautiful night scene day after day, year after year. They have long been tired of seeing it. People outside want to come in, and people inside want to stay. In the end, there are always some
People were forced out and left this city full of dreams completely frustrated and exhausted.
The girls' dormitory of Shangri-La Hotel is about half an hour's drive away from Yuan Xudong. In a dormitory where four girls live, a WeChat ringtone suddenly rang, and it suddenly exploded in the dark environment:
"Who's on the phone? Can you sleep?"
"Hurry up and press it, it's making a lot of noise!"
"You are still on the phone in the middle of the night. Can you still sleep?"
Hearing the complaints from her three roommates, Luo Yue hurriedly pressed her cell phone, but her cell phone accidentally fell off her bed. She hurriedly got up and got out of bed, but her foot slipped and she fell off the top bunk again.
I fell down and screamed in pain.
"I'm sorry!"
"Will you go to work tomorrow? I'm so annoyed!"
"sorry Sorry!"
After apologizing to the three roommates who were woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone, Luo Yue endured the pain and got up from the ground, then quickly walked out of the room with her mobile phone and closed the door, then she felt relieved.
With a tone of voice, she leaned against the wall of the corridor with a tired face, relaxing her mood a little, and then called her mother back. The WeChat ringtone just now was the video call from her mother. Her mother didn't know that she had replied
When we arrived in China, due to the time difference, it was daytime in Belgium at this time.
Because the living environment is not very good, Luo Yue did not have a video call with her mother as usual, but chose WeChat voice:
"Hello?"
"Why don't you answer my video? Is there something wrong?"
Mother Luo's voice sounded a little anxious and worried.
"No, it's fine. I'm going to a birthday party with a few colleagues. We're on the way there and it's not convenient to video chat. If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly."
Luo Yue randomly found an excuse to excuse herself. When she finished speaking, Luo's mother across from her started sobbing softly. Luo Yue thought she was worried about him, so she said:
"You can call me if you need anything. Aren't you very happy to hear my voice?"
"Mom thought you were feeling sad today, so she called you. To be honest, she was quite surprised to hear that you were hanging out with your friends."
"What day is it today?"
Luo Yue asked casually in a daze. As soon as she said the words, Luo's mother opposite was stunned.
Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Luo Yue became excited and became more awake. She couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in her heart. She asked blankly:
"What's the date today?"
"The 21st is the anniversary of your father's death, poor daughter."
As she said that, Luo's mother started crying, and Luo Yue felt very guilty. She even forgot the anniversary of her father's death, and even told her mother that she went out to play with her friends. At this moment,
Luo Yue was simply ashamed and could only explain reluctantly:
"I'm sorry, I was dizzy due to jet lag."
"Poor girl, you lost your father at such a young age and your mother got married again. It's all because of this that you went to a foreign country to go to university by yourself. You've been away for five years. Every time Mom thinks about this, she
I feel sorry for you, I made you suffer."
"Mom, let's put this matter aside as mother and daughter."
"Okay, Mom listens to you. You can be fine by yourself. Mom hangs up first so I won't waste your time."
"Ok, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Luo Yue huddled on the edge of the corridor, holding the mobile phone in her hand, burying her head between her knees with her arms folded, and cried silently.
After crying for a long time, there was a ding sound, and a WeChat new message alert sounded. Luo Yue raised her head, silently wiped away her tears, and took a look at the new WeChat message, which was a message from Yuan Xudong:
"Have you slept? I'm so bored alone, why don't you come out for a drink?"
Behind this text message, there was a cheeky emoticon of laughing loudly. Looking at the silly and cute cartoon emoticon, Luo Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing, and in an instant she burst into laughter.
The mixture of crying and laughter on her face made people feel distressed. If Yuan Xudong saw it, he would definitely comfort Luo Yue and make her happy and carefree.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Yue replied:
"I went to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow!"
Yuan Xudong quickly replied:
"It's only half past ten, it's still early. Where are you? I'll pick you up?"
"Okay then, wait for me on the steps in front of the Shangri-La Hotel. See you later!"
"Okay, see you later!"
More than half an hour later, Yuan Xudong waited for Luo Yue on the steps in front of the Shangri-La Hotel.
As far as the eye can see, her hair is all tied together and pulled back, making her look relatively clean and tidy. She has light makeup on her face and a layer of light red lipstick. She is not wearing any jewelry and is only carrying a black shoulder bag.
, wearing an off-shoulder dress with black and white vertical stripes and looser light blue jeans, the whole person looks very fresh and clean, giving people a refreshing feeling.
Yuan Xudong walked towards Luo Yue, who was obviously a little different, and smiled slightly:
"Luo Yue, you are so beautiful tonight!"
"Come on, I don't believe your lies!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Luo Yue said directly:
"Come on, I want to have a drink. Do you know of a quiet bar near here?"
"I really know this. It's nearby. Let's go!"
Yuan Xudong took Luo Yue to a Porsche Panamera parked in front of the Shangri-La Hotel. Seeing this black luxury car, Luo Yue couldn't help curling her lips and said somewhat sourly:
"Only wealthy people would buy this kind of car. Isn't it great to be rich?"
"That's right, what's so good about the Porsche Panamera? I just like driving the BMW 7 Series!"
With that said, Yuan Xudong went around to the back of the Porsche Panamera and pushed out his little electric donkey:
"Let's go, you sit in the back and remember to wear a helmet, otherwise you will be fined!"
"Is this a battery car?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong riding a battery car, Luo Yue was a little stunned and said, she thought that the handsome-looking Porsche Panamera was Yuan Xudong's car, but she didn't expect that all the rich people nowadays are so picky?
"What happened to the battery car?"
Seeing Luo Yue dare to dislike his car, Yuan Xudong smiled proudly and said:
"I think back when I was unemployed, I relied on it to earn money from delivering food. I want to be rich and noble, but don't forget each other. Do you understand?"
"I understand, you're a big-headed guy, but are you the only one who has ever delivered takeout?"
"You're looking down on people, aren't you? Not only have I delivered food, I've also been a driver, driven an online ride-hailing service, and worked in sales. Isn't that impressive enough?"
"Are you a liar?"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Luo Yue took the helmet from him and put it on, then sat on the back of the battery car and said with a smile:
"Let's go, hurry up!"
"Okay, sit tight!"
Ten minutes later, Yuan Xudong rode his little electric donkey and drove Luo Yue to the door of a bar. Porsche Panamera, Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, etc., in front of this bar called Cross the Boundary,
All the cars parked were good ones, except Yuan Xudong's, because his cars all had four wheels, but his electric donkey only had two wheels.
Parked in a row of luxury cars, it's a bit like a porcelain, but there are no rich second-generation people or villains stepping on Yuan Xudong, not even his second-hand electric donkey that looks like it stands out from the rest.
When people take one look at it, Yuan Xudong can't help but sigh that urban novels are all lies. What about pretending to be a slap in the face?
Seeing Yuan Xudong park the battery car with a calm expression and lock it with a car lock, Luo Yue glanced at the luxury cars around, rolled her eyes speechlessly and said:
"Yuan Xudong, did you do this on purpose?"
"What's intentional?"
"There are all famous cars and supercars around, but you are the only one riding a battery bike. Do you want to show off that you are different?"
"You're so smart, have you noticed all this?"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and smiled:
"My family is full of luxury cars, and I am riding this second-hand electric donkey to attract your attention. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Bah, I'm too lazy to care about you!"
She rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong, and after he locked the battery car, Luo Yue walked into the bar with him and asked curiously:
"You haven't bought a car? I'm talking about the four-wheeled one, not your battery car."
"This really doesn't exist. Let's wait until the company fixes it. I plan to buy a car in the name of the company. I can save whatever I can!"
"You are really stingy!"
"Is this called reasonable tax avoidance?"
"You look like a capitalist, have you not bought a house yet and are you going to buy it in the name of your company?"
"No, I plan to rent a house in the name of the company. I have already made a reservation. A large, well-decorated apartment of 420 square meters only costs 60,000 yuan in rent per month. Compared with buying a house, is it right?
Quite a bargain?”
"Bah, what a bargain!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Luo Yue walked to the bar and sat down. Yuan Xudong sat down next to her, looked at the waiter at the bar and smiled:
