When Luo Hai and Yang Guang were both dizzy, Mayor Zhao's secretary glanced at his watch and said, "Mr. Ning, can the ribbon-cutting ceremony begin?"
"No problem, Mayor Zhao please, Director Ge, Director Luo please."
Ning Jide and Xue Chen accompanied Vice Mayor Zhao and others towards the rostrum. Ge Hongcai was not in a hurry to follow, but looked sideways at Luo Hai beside him and asked with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone: "Old man
Luo, we have been colleagues for ten years. You know the vice president of Yunteng Auction, but you have never mentioned it to me, so why are you hiding it from me?"
"Well……"
At this moment, Luo Hai also had mixed feelings in his heart. He said with a bitter look on his face: "Director, it's not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't know. I might as well tell you that Xue Chen is my daughter's classmate in college.
, I only met him once more than half a year ago, and at that time, he was just an ordinary college graduate."
"So that's it. He became the vice president in less than a year. It seems he has a good background. Lao Luo, which family is he the son of?" Ge Hongcai asked again.
"This, I really don't know."
Luo Hai clearly remembered that Xue Chen came from the countryside and had no background, but now, he doubted whether this was really the case.
He always thought that he was very smart, so he was able to climb to the position of office director step by step. He also insisted on being consistent at home and constantly planned the life of his only daughter, hoping that her daughter would not take detours or take the wrong path.
Among them was breaking up his relationship with Xue Chen. He had always believed that this was a necessary step and a very correct one, but now, he suddenly felt that the move he had made was not entirely correct.
Seeing that Xue Chen has become the vice president of a company, or a company affiliated to the Ning Group, it seems that investing in an antique store is not impossible, and the possibility of being kept by a rich woman is greatly reduced.
I really made a breakthrough, and it was far beyond my imagination.
"well."
Luo Hai sighed deeply, feeling a terrible bitterness in his mouth.
Vice Mayor Zhao still had a meeting to hold. In order not to waste the precious time of the leaders, the ribbon-cutting ceremony that had been prepared quickly started. Many guests also walked out of the conference living room and came to the guest seats on the square in front of the building.
.
Vice Mayor Zhao also ascended the rostrum. As a municipal leader, it was inevitable to be in the middle of the rostrum. On the left was Ning Jide, the general manager of Yunteng Auction, and on the right was Ge Hongcai, director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
As the company's vice presidents, Xia Yike and Xue Chen sat on both sides respectively. In addition, two CEOs of large companies in Haicheng City, as well as Chen Suyuan and Chen Yibo, who have great reputations in the cultural world, were also on the podium.
Soon, there were a lot of guests under the rostrum, and the crowds occupied the entire square in front of the building.
Yang Guang was sitting next to Wang Dong at the guest table. Thinking back to what happened just now, he couldn't help but ask: "Old Wang, how did Xue Chen become the vice president?"
Fatty Wang glanced at Yang Guang and said: "Ask me, who am I asking? When I heard the news, I was also shocked. Old Xue is becoming more and more difficult to understand.
, I suddenly became the vice president of a large company, and I really have no excuses."
When everything was ready, a master of ceremonies stood beside the rostrum with a microphone in hand and announced the start of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After a round of applause, he briefly introduced the ten or so people sitting on the rostrum one by one.
"First of all, we welcome Mayor Zhao to the ribbon-cutting ceremony with warm applause..."
"Mr. Ning Jide, general manager of Yunteng Auction Company..."
…
"The following person is Mr. Xue Chen, deputy general manager of Yunteng Auction Company."
Xue Chen stood up and bowed his body towards the audience. There was a burst of applause from the audience, and the reporters present also clicked the shutter.
Luo Hai, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, heard the introduction of Xue Chen. The guests around him burst into exclamation, and some people were praising Xue Chen in a low voice for being young and promising.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was carried out step by step. When the final ribbon-cutting was about to begin, three tall etiquette ladies wearing red high-cut cheongsam came onto the stage carrying trays. Vice Mayor Zhao, Ning Jiede and Ge Hongcai all stood up and each picked up a tray.
With a pair of scissors, cut a bright red ribbon at the same time.
Boom!
When the red ribbon fell to the ground, the colorful ribbons sprayed out flying everywhere, and the roar of the salute drowned out the warm applause, which also pushed the atmosphere of the ribbon-cutting ceremony to a climax.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Yunteng Auction arranged a banquet at a three-star hotel not far from Hongtong Building to entertain all the invited guests. As the vice president, Xue Chen naturally had to socialize and got to know many Haicheng political and business circles.
He also drank a lot and was still a little dizzy when he drove the car the next morning.
"Huh, luckily, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was successfully completed."
The entire ribbon-cutting ceremony went very smoothly without any mistakes. Xue Chen felt very happy and comfortable. But suddenly, he remembered something and began to think about it, that is, the red envelope Yang Guang received was five hundred yuan short.
question.
"Is it just an accident that Yang Guang is missing? Or is part of all the red envelopes sent out missing?"
Xue Chen's eyes flickered. If it's the former, then it's just an accident and insignificant. If all the red envelopes are missing, then someone is secretly embezzling and embezzling, which is a big deal!
With this idea in mind, he sent a text message to Luo Bing, and soon received a reply, knowing the amount of the red envelope Luo Hai received, three thousand!
"Three thousand? Sure enough, there is a problem. Luo Hai is a relatively high-ranking government department present, and the amount of the red envelope is also at the top. I remember it was four thousand, which is one thousand less!"
The amounts of Yang Guang and Luo Hai's red envelopes were both less than a certain amount, which showed that it could not be an accident, but that someone had secretly deducted the money and put it in their own pockets.
Xue Chen drove towards the Hongtong Building, thinking about this matter in his mind. There are four major departments in the Yunteng Auction headquarters, namely the Administration Department, the Human Resources Department, the Finance Department and the Marketing Planning Department.
The issue of red envelopes involves two departments. The administration department determines the specific amount of the red envelope and gives it to the general manager to sign. Then he goes to the finance department with the signature to withdraw the money. The money is then put into envelopes.
, and then it will be distributed to the guests.
He went through the process carefully in his mind and felt that it couldn't be the Finance Department. Only the Administration Department could quietly withhold part of the money!
"Administrative Department..."
When he arrived at Hongtong Building and stood at the elevator door, Xue Chen happened to meet several people from the company who were also waiting for the elevator, including Xia Yike, who had a cold and arrogant temperament.
The other employees greeted Xue Chen, and Xue Chen nodded in response one by one.
Xia Yike just glanced at Xue Chen and said nothing.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xue, morning."
At this time, a man in his early thirties walked to the elevator and greeted Xue Chen.
"Good morning, Director Yu." Xia Yike replied.
Xue Chen also nodded to the visitor: "Morning."
The person who came was none other than Yu Tao, the director of the Administration Department, one of the four major departments. He was tall and thin, with a slightly pale complexion. He looked not in good spirits and had dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have stayed up late.
"Director Yu, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Xue Chen asked casually.
Yu Tao glanced at Xue Chen and said simply "Yeah".
After entering the elevator, Yu Tao deliberately stood next to Xia Yike, whispering a few words to Xia Yike from time to time. Xia Yike's attitude towards Xue Chen was also very different, and he smiled slightly from time to time.
Nod your head and respond a few words.
After getting out of the elevator, Yu Tao followed Xia Yike and whispered: "Mr. Xia, regarding the summary document of yesterday's ribbon-cutting ceremony, I will have someone bring it to you later..."
"Okay." Xia Yike agreed.
Xue Chen was walking behind. When he saw this scene, his eyes narrowed, and then he walked into his office unhurriedly.
The nominal general manager of Yunteng Auction Company is Ning Jiede, but Ning Jiede has long said that he will not spend too much energy on Yunteng Auction, and will mainly leave it to the two vice presidents, because there are other people in the group.
There are more and more important tasks for him to handle.
So the day after the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed, he did not go to Yunteng Auction because he had a group board meeting to attend in the morning.
When Ning Jiede was about to walk out of the villa, Ning Xuanxuan came down from upstairs and asked, "Uncle, are you going out?"
"Well, I have a meeting to hold in the morning, Xiaoxuan, how are you feeling in the past two days?" Ning Jide asked with concern, carrying his office bag.
"I'm fine now, Third Uncle, thank you for your concern." Ning Xuanxuan smiled slightly, then her eyes flashed and asked, "Third Uncle, the Yunteng auction is going well, right?"
"It went very well." Ning Jade said casually about the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Well... how is Xue Chen working in the company?" Ning Xuanxuan asked.
Ning Jade glanced at Ning Xuanxuan: "Xiaoxuan, you care about Xue Chen very much."
Ning Xuanxuan raised the corner of her mouth and said nonchalantly: "Of course I care. I recommended him to grandpa. If he doesn't do well, I won't have any face. Third uncle, if Xue Chen can't do a good job,
Boss, just jerk him off, it’s his own problem anyway.”
Ning Jed shook his head and said slowly: "Generally speaking, Xue Chen handled the work fairly well. There were no problems, but..."
"Just what?" Ning Xuanxuan asked nervously.
Ning Jiede hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that Xue Chen's personality is too kind and lacks the majesty of a vice president. This kind of character is not bad, but Xiaoxuan, you should also know that this kind of character is difficult to impress the company's employees.
It created a sense of awe. On the contrary, the other vice president did a better job than him. He usually kept a serious smile and would inspect various offices. Although it was mostly just a formality, it made most employees pay more attention to her."
Hearing this, Ning Xuanxuan couldn't help but frown. (To be continued)
