I drove Santana back to the city, and it was dark when I arrived at the West Lake.
The place we ate was the same Louwailou as last time, and the environment here was quite good.
After parking the car in front of the store, Su Zelin remembered something: "Well, Yuwei, I am now the head manager of the Finance Institute branch, and I am at the same level as you. From now on, just call me Manager Su in front of others."
At this time, MM Song was fixing her makeup in front of the dressing mirror. She always cared about her image. She nodded and said, "OK, what about privately?"
"Whatever happens in private is fine."
Su Zelin doesn't care.
But then again, Song Yuwei called herself many things in her previous life.
The most important thing is the boss or the senior person. Sometimes in special occasions, they will occasionally say "Boss, Oh, yeah!" to liven up the atmosphere.
"Okay, if there's no one else I'll just call anyone!"
Song Yuwei tucked a few strands of hair that were messed up by the wind behind her ears and smiled sweetly.
Some women like to cover their mouths when they smile, which makes them look more elegant.
But Song MM never does this, because her teeth are like pearls, crystal clear in color and even in size, so smiling with teeth showing is not indecent, but instead has a kind of beautiful smile.
When it comes to the mouth, which is one of the five facial features, many people only focus on the lips but ignore the teeth. But in fact, a beautiful set of teeth can really add points to a woman's appearance and make your smile look particularly beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Song Yuwei not only has pearly white teeth, but her lips are also bright and rosy, and she knows how to use lip gloss to add icing on the cake. So before his rebirth, Su Zelin liked Song MM's mouth very much, especially when she opened her mouth.
As soon as the two of them walked into the restaurant, a waitress in cheongsam came to greet them with swaying arms and legs.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Louwailou. Do you have a reservation?"
"Auspicious Hall!"
"Okay, this way please!"
Take the two of them to the box.
This is a great box for viewing the scenery. The environment is elegant and you can see the night view of West Lake outside through the window.
The lights on the lakeside are dim, and their reflections are in the mirror-like quiet water, with mottled light and shadows.
"Wow, West Lake is so beautiful. I find myself beginning to have feelings for Lin'an."
After all, she was just a 20-year-old girl, and Song MM was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery.
Su Zelin walked up to her side, stood shoulder to shoulder, looked off into the distance, and said leisurely, "Many people who come to a new city always fall in love with it because of something. This kind of beauty and excitement of first encounter is always the most romantic feeling!"
“The beauty and excitement of a first encounter are always the most romantic feelings…”
Song Yuwei chewed over this sentence secretly and read it several times, feeling more and more poetic and picturesque.
The young boss is younger than me, but sometimes what he says is always very interesting.
“Squeak!”
The door was pushed open.
In addition to the receptionist wearing cheongsam, Xiao Yangge and Kang Baohong also came in.
When picking up the car, Song Yuwei only met these two people once and did not get to know them well. This time she came to Lin'an to join New Century, so Su Zelin invited her to come over for dinner so that they could get to know each other better.
Returning to his seat, Su Zelin introduced both parties again.
After some pleasantries, the waiter brought the food.
Longjing shrimp, Songsao fish soup, lemon crispy beef tenderloin, beggar's chicken, deep-fried ringbell... are all famous dishes of Louwailou.
In front of Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong, Song Yuwei was not so relaxed and was still a little restrained.
However, both of them welcomed her arrival generously, and with Su Zelin's help, the atmosphere soon became relaxed.
During the meal, Brother Yang and Kang Baohong discovered that Su Zelin was extremely enthusiastic towards the new female manager and often picked up food for her himself. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but they always felt that the way he looked at girls was even more gentle and doting.
After the meal, Brother Yang left early because of something, while Kang Baohong and Su Zelin took Song Yuwei to the Normal University store.
She was appointed as the manager there. Among the three new stores, only the position at the Normal University store was vacant. The other two stores were filled by Xiao Yangge's old subordinates.
Although she had just arrived, MM Song did not want to rest and wanted to start work as soon as possible, so she went to the Normal University store tonight to familiarize herself with the environment and announced the news of her promotion to the position of executive manager.
However, it would not be appropriate to bring Su Zelin along, because no one knew that he was the big boss of New Century, so Kang Baohong had to accompany him.
After walking out of the hotel, Kang Baohong's eyes fell on Su Zelin's Santana while driving, and he noticed that the car body was affixed with an advertising sticker with the words "New Century Flagship Digital Experience Center, Finance University Branch".
The general manager muttered to himself.
The boss is personally promoting the company, so does he have to follow suit for his own Santana 2000
Seeing what he was thinking, Su Zelin stopped him.
The manager in charge is in charge of marketing, so it is normal to put promotional advertisements on official vehicles.
However, Kang Baohong is at the general manager level and will be mainly responsible for higher-level affairs in the future, such as negotiating cooperation with suppliers. If he puts advertisements on his car, it would seem a bit low-class and would show his lack of confidence in the company's reputation.
Few of the senior executives of big companies would put such things on their cars, as it would be counterproductive.
Kang Baohong was relieved. He also felt that it was strange for a general manager like him to put advertisements on a car.
Song Yuwei still took Su Zelin's Peugeot and drove to the Normal University campus together.
As soon as she got off the car and saw the exterior of the Normal University branch, Song MM was stunned on the spot.
This new store follows the same model as the Zhejiang University branch. They both signed an agreement to apply for land allocation and built the store themselves. It covers an area of nearly 300 square meters and was completed only about a month ago. The store looks very new.
Considering the aesthetic taste of Su Zelin, a reborn person, the appearance of the building cannot be bad.
In fact, the appearance and style of several stores, including the Zhejiang University branch, can no longer be described as fashionable, they are definitely more than ten years ahead of the times.
The innovation of the new century is not only reflected in the unique marketing model, but also in the store design.
It is extremely creative, bold and novel, and both the overall design and the details reveal a strong sense of epoch-making futurism.
Compared with other old, conservative, and square buildings on campus, this peculiarly shaped building is like a pearl on campus, adding a beautiful landscape to the university.
This is also one of the reasons why every branch can attract the attention of college students as soon as it is established.
As Su Zelin walked through the door, the view in front of him suddenly opened up. In the stylish store, dozens of experience machines were neatly arranged on the clean counter.
The part-time college students in uniform were in good spirits and greeted every guest with a smile.
Is this where I will work in the future
Song Yuwei was very excited.
The environment of this place is even more upscale and elegant than the previous Volkswagen auto trade store. It does not have an overly strong commercial atmosphere and blends perfectly with the pure campus.
Suddenly, MM Song understood why this digital store became so famous and opened five branches in just over a year.
This is a company that should not belong to this era!
And now I have become a part of it!
Now the position of manager of the Normal University store is still vacant and is temporarily managed by Kang Baohong himself, but with Song Yuwei's arrival, he can take over.
In the next semester, New Century will have more new plans and will open more branches. As the general manager, I cannot always focus my energy and time here.
The three of them drank tea in the office and stayed until the digital store closed. Kang Baohong called all the employees together and announced in public that Song Yuwei would be the new manager and would be in charge of the Normal University store from now on. The matter was settled.
Afterwards, Su Zelin sent Song Yuwei to her residence.
He had already helped to rent a house, which was inside the Normal University. It was a teacher's apartment on the second floor.
The female teacher who originally lived there and her lover were allocated staff housing. After they got married, they moved in with their lover, leaving the dormitory at the Normal University idle, so they planned to rent it out to make some money.
The house is not very big, with just one living room and two bedrooms, but it is decorated quite warmly and has all the basic household appliances, so you can move in right away. The most important thing is that it is on campus, with a good environment and close to shops, so it is very convenient.
Su Zelin helped him carry his luggage to the living room and asked casually, "Yuwei, how do you feel about coming here?"
"Everything is impeccable. The city is beautiful, the working and living environment is great, and the salary is much higher than before..."
Song Yuwei's face was flushed with excitement. Before coming to Lin'an, she had been looking forward to this new job. The actual situation was even more perfect than she had imagined. In every aspect, it was much better than her previous job in the auto trade store. Especially since she had just graduated and returned to the university campus, it felt great.
Then she stuck out her tongue again.
"Of course, the most important thing is that I met a very nice boss, thank you!"
"Haha, that's good. In that case, just stay here with peace of mind. I promise you won't regret your decision!"
Su Zelin placed a bunch of keys on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Well, it's getting late. You must be tired after running all the way from Shenghai. Go to bed early tonight. If you need anything, feel free to call me. You can also send me text messages during class time!"
The gangster actually had selfish motives in poaching Song Yuwei.
He and this former secretary were quite compatible. No matter in their past lives or this life, both of them felt that they had met too late.
Maybe, she will become the first woman in his life.
But after all, we have only known each other for a short time and this is only the second time we have met. Besides, the other person has just arrived in Lin'an and has not started working yet.
So, don't rush things.
Let's wait for a while and build some relationship first.
"Well, boss, you've worked hard today, please take care!"
After seeing Su Zelin off, Song Yuwei dragged the suitcase into the bedroom and was surprised to find that all the mats and quilts in the house were new, and even the labels had not been removed.
He is really caring and considerate...
Song MM was instantly moved.
There was also a small box on the bedside table. When I opened it, I saw a new burgundy Nokia candy-bar phone inside. It was exquisite and small, and it was obvious that it was not a cheap product.
Song Yuwei's cell phone was only a few hundred yuan model, not worthy of a position as the manager of the New Century Normal University store, so Su Zelin bought her a more upscale one.
Holding the new mobile phone tightly, Song MM fell into silence.
It’s the first day I came to this strange city, but I feel a sense of belonging now.
She remembered what Su Zelin had said in Louwailou.
“Many people who come to a new city always fall in love with it suddenly because of something. The beauty and excitement of this first encounter is always the most romantic feeling!”
Suddenly, it made sense.
You may fall in love with a city because of someone in it!
I will be with this man forever!
…
The next day Song Yuwei went to work at the Normal University store.
She was still young, about the same age as some of the older juniors in the store.
But Su Zelin was not worried that she could not hold on.
After all, she was his secretary in his previous life, and Hunzi believed in her abilities.
Song Yuwei is very smart and she is an ambitious girl. People like her are always very motivated and learn things very quickly. With a little training, they will become great.
Moreover, she has a unique advantage - Su Zelin's deliberate cultivation.
When Song MM was recruited, Hunzi intended to cultivate her into a confidant and a bedmate, so he was particularly attentive to her.
No matter what problem Song Yuwei encountered, as long as she asked for advice, Hunzi would be very patient and generous in giving her advice and teaching her how to think about solving problems.
One is a proactive learner and the other is a patient teacher. Within a few weeks, Song Yuwei has completely mastered the business of the store. It seems that it is only a matter of time before she can take charge of the business on her own in the future.
The winter vacation is approaching.
Zhejiang University campus, girls’ dormitory.
"It's almost holiday time. I really want to go home early for the New Year, but it's so annoying to fight for train tickets. Last year, I went to the station to queue up, and the line was so long. I waited for a whole day and my feet were sore before I could buy a ticket. It's all because of those damn scalpers!"
Deng Xiaoman kept complaining.
Train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush are always a headache for college students.
"Yeah, I envy you guys in the province. You can take a bus home, especially Qiu Wen, you can take the bus home!"
Shen Jia agreed. Every time at this time, the benefits of studying in a university in the province become apparent. The means of transportation to go home are not only trains, but buses are also very convenient.
Scalpers target train tickets, but they won’t snatch passenger buses.
However, Qin Shiqing easily gets carsick when riding the bus, so last year Su Zelin bought a sleeper berth from a scalper.
She doesn't need to buy a train ticket this year because she just got a message from her childhood sweetheart a few days ago.
The cell phone rang. It was the landline at home. Qin Shiqing pressed the answer button.
"My daughter, when are you going to come home?"
The voice coming from the microphone was Liu Sufen's.
"Mom, we will officially have a holiday the day after tomorrow, and we will go back to Jianglan the day after tomorrow morning."
Qin Shiqing said with a smile.
"Really? That's great. Zelin helped me get the train tickets again. That kid is really resourceful!"
Mother Qin was very happy, and she naturally hoped to see her daughter as soon as possible.
"We haven't bought any tickets yet. We're not planning on taking the train this year!"
Qin Shiqing curled her lips.
"Oh, why don't you take the train? Could it be that even Zelin couldn't get a ticket? It would take a long time to take a bus. Shiqing, are you really okay?"
Liu Sufen is very clear about her daughter's condition, and it is better to take the train if possible.
"That's not the case, but Zelin plans to drive back!"
"What, drive back?"
Mother Qin was a little confused.
"Well, he works part-time at a digital store on campus and has become the manager. Some time ago, the store provided a company car. They said it was unsafe to park it at school for too long during the New Year holidays, and the battery would easily break down, so they planned to drive it home."
Qin Shiqing explained it briefly.
Su Zelin is the behind-the-scenes boss of New Century. She has known about this for a long time but has never told her family.
The childhood sweetheart did not make this matter public, probably because it was not convenient for them as college students. Even the childhood sweetheart's parents were kept in the dark, so Qin Shiqing did not dare to say anything.
"Official car, Shiqing, do you mean a sedan?"
Liu Sufen was shocked.
"Yes, it must be a car, otherwise we can drive a motorcycle back to Jianglan!"
Qin Shiqing was amused by her mother.
"Is this computer store so powerful that it can even provide Zelin with a car?"
Mother Qin's tone was full of shock.
She had heard about Su Zelin's part-time job in the Finance College, but she thought it was just a small computer store and didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
But now the situation seems a little different from what I imagined.
"Yes, his store has developed very quickly. In just over a year, he has already opened five branches. The one at Zhejiang University is 300 square meters, and the others are about the same size!"
Liu Sufen: “!!!”
The Qin family is also in business, and Qin's mother knows very well what a 300-square-meter shop means.
"With five branches and such a large storefront, isn't it a large chain store?"
"Well, I guess so. It was in many newspapers and on TV in Lin'an some time ago!"
"… "
Even after she finished talking to her daughter, Liu Sufen was still in shock and even forgot to put down the phone in her hand.
The kids next door can actually drive a car!
Even if it's a government car, it's amazing!
At the same time, it shows that the company he works for is very promising, it is a big company and will have a bright future.
Qin Daqing was surprised to see his lover when he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
"Su Fen, what are you doing? Didn't you call your daughter to ask when she'll be home? Why aren't you talking?"
Mother Qin then realized that she was still holding the microphone, so she put it back: "It's over. My daughter will be home the next day on her official holiday. She will be in Zelin's car, and Zelin will drive back then!"
"What?"
Qin's father was also surprised to hear the news.
Liu Sufen briefly explained the situation to her husband.
"Daqing, my daughter told me that this computer store is quite successful. It opened five branches in one year and was featured in newspapers and on TV in Lin'an!"
"Is it called New Age?"
Qin Daqing suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, that's the name!"
Liu Sufen nodded. When she heard that this computer store had provided Su Zelin with a business car, Qin's mother also became concerned and asked about the name of the store.
"Why, have you heard of it, too?"
"On New Year's Day, this company was featured in the Zhejiang Daily. I saw a report about it, praising it for its promising future. At that time, I didn't know it was the computer store where Zelin worked. This kid is really good!"
"… "
