After three rounds of drinking, it was already half past eleven in the night.
Ma Dong suggested that he also go to the KTV to sing. I said I would not go, but he did not persuade me and immediately asked his secretary to take me back.
When I got back to my apartment, I took a shower to sober myself up a bit, and then made a cup of sobering tea.
At this time, I received a WeChat message from Zhang Yan. She asked me: "Mr. Chen, are you home yet?"
"We're here, ready to sleep."
"Well, that's good. You drank a little too much tonight. Go to bed early. Good night."
I didn't reply to her anymore. Come to think of it, times have changed!
I remember when I was studying in the past, this Zhang Yan was so arrogant.
The most impressive thing is that because my family was poor at that time, my mother raised the tuition fees from everywhere, and I also used frugally to save my monthly living expenses.
At that time, many students in the class had pens, but I did not.
Because pens are so expensive, one pen is worth my family’s food rations for a month, which is really no exaggeration.
That year, I picked up a pen in the school playground. Although it was broken, I tied it with tape and could still use it.
Who knew that the pen actually belonged to Zhang Yan? During a mid-term exam, it was discovered by a male classmate who liked Zhang Yan.
This pen happened to be given to Zhang Yan by that male classmate. It made me so embarrassed at the time that I really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl under it.
After that incident, I was labeled as a thief by my classmates.
This made me sad for a long time. I also explained to my teachers and classmates that I picked up the pen, but Zhang Yan was sure that I stole it.
Not only did I have to compensate her with a new pen, I also had to write a self-review and apologize to the whole class.
That incident made me depressed for a whole semester, causing my grades to drop a lot.
Until graduation, this matter was never revealed again, and Zhang Yan never explained whether she had thrown the pen away or if I had stolen it.
If we talk about memories from high school, I have almost forgotten them, but this incident seems like it happened yesterday.
But I also have to thank this experience, which inspired me to be determined to get into a good university.
It has always been a profound reminder to me that I must study hard and become a master in the future, and I will never be bullied again.
After going to work the next day, I received a call from Chongqing, my hometown, as soon as I arrived at the office.
After getting through, I asked the other party: "Hello, who are you?"
"Is it Chen Feng?"
"It's me, are you?"
"I'm Chen Zhixiang, Chen Feng, are you free now?"
Chen Zhixiang, who is it?
I really didn't react, and I wasn't familiar with the name, but I was afraid that I had forgotten it.
"Sorry, I kind of forgot who you are." I said.
"I am the party committee secretary of Shenglong Town."
I was shocked, isn't Shenglong Town my hometown?
Why is the party committee secretary calling me?
I hurriedly said: "I'm free, Secretary Chen, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this. I heard from the cadres of your village that you are an Internet celebrity company. I want to see if you have any ideas to help your village do a live broadcast to bring goods."
It turns out that's what happened. I told An Lan before that I would help find sales for the village's products, and I agreed to her at that time.
So I didn't hesitate at all and said, "Okay, no problem, Secretary Chen."
"Okay, then when you are free, we can have a good chat when you come back."
"It's okay tomorrow."
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, I was a little surprised to find that it was the town secretary who called me personally.
Of course I won't go there just to make money. After all, this is also about doing good things for my hometown and helping farmers. Even if I don't make any money, I will take it.
After I ended the call, I started to deal with some daily tasks.
Now the company has to deal with many things, including brand design and promotion at the clothing factory, and product positioning and sales at the home furnishing factory.
It also includes the construction of the logistics base and the operation of the company itself.
Now I just feel like I have a big head. I really want to have someone who can help me solve my problems. This person must understand all my ideas and have strong execution ability.
It seems that I need to find a professional CEO to fully control the company, and even a financial director to be responsible for the company's financial planning, capital flow, and investment analysis.
I was busy dealing with work matters when my cell phone rang again. This time the caller surprised me.
It's none other than Xiao Qi, whom I desperately want to join our company.
It's been several days since I came back from Xinjiang, and she didn't give me any information. I thought it was just a matter of nothing, but I didn't expect that she called me at this time.
I quickly answered the phone and said, "Hello, Xiaoqi."
"Hello, Mr. Chen, are you free now?"
"When you are free, you tell me."
"Are you in the company? I have come to Chengdu and want to come to your company to have a look."
"Okay, no problem. Where are you? I'll pick you up right away." I immediately became excited.
"No need, I'll be downstairs at your company right away."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After I ended the call, I quickly packed up and ran to the door of the company to wait.
I'm so excited. She is really important to me. If she can really join our company, it will undoubtedly make us shine.
I kept looking at the elevator entrance and waited for about ten minutes.
The moment the elevator door opened, I saw Xiao Qi walking out. She was wearing a Burberry windbreaker today and she looked very elegant.
I hurriedly greeted him and said with a warm smile: "Welcome, are you alone? Xiaoqi."
"Yes, I came here alone. We just finished shooting in Xinjiang, and I wanted to come to your place for a visit on the way back."
"Absolutely, please come in." I stretched out my hand to her and made a gesture of invitation.
After entering the company lobby, Xiao Qi looked around and said, "Your company is quite big."
"Fortunately, we are preparing to expand recently, and this is no longer satisfactory."
"Well, the office lobby looks quite comfortable, and they are all young people."
I smiled and said, "I don't want you to laugh if I tell you this. I am the oldest person in the company."
"Isn't it? You are only in your thirties, right?"
I nodded and said, "I'm thirty-one, but the employees in the company are all young, with an average age of 25."
While we were chatting, we came to my office. I asked her whether she wanted tea or coffee, and she said boiled water would be fine.
So I poured her a glass of boiled water, and then we sat on the sofa and chatted.
I didn't ask her if she had thought it through as soon as I opened my mouth. Instead, I talked about some things about their shooting and asked them if it went well.
She told me that everything went smoothly, and then took the initiative to change the topic to the main topic and said to me: "Mr. Chen, I am a straight-tempered person. I will tell you what I have to say."
"Well, you say."
"To be honest, don't look at the number of fans on my platform, but we really haven't made much money in the past two months. I have rejected many advertisements. To be honest, we are now a little bit stuck with cash flow."
