That night Su Zelin stayed in Song Yuwei's new apartment.
On the first day of changing to a new environment, I have to be by your side.
Anyway, I don’t have to go to school, so I am free to arrange my time however I want. I don’t go back to the dormitory most of the time, and my roommates have gotten used to it.
At the beginning, the gangster said that he rented a house outside on the grounds of convenience for work.
Maybe because of Su Zelin's promise, Song MM was particularly enthusiastic that night, playing various musical instruments and singing one after another. After being seduced by Su Zelin for so long, she has become a talented woman.
Early in the morning, when the gangster opened his eyes.
MM Song was still curled up in his arms and sleeping like a Persian cat.
Her face was rosy, her breathing was even, her breasts rose and fell gently, and her satin-smooth skin looked exceptionally white in the morning light.
She was sleeping very soundly in her dream, her lips slightly parted with a faint smile on the corners of her mouth. It was unknown what she was dreaming about.
Song MM's delicate head was resting on his arm. Su Zelin didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he let her stay there until the alarm clock rang and the beautiful woman in his arms was disturbed from her sweet dream. Then she opened her eyes.
She also wanted to sleep late, but she had to go to the company later.
After arriving at the headquarters, I don’t have as much freedom as a store manager. I have to clock in on time every day.
"Good morning, boss!"
There was still a hint of confusion in her almond eyes. After stopping the alarm, Song Yuwei coquettishly grabbed Su Zelin's hand and placed it on her waist. She nestled in her man's broad and warm arms for a quarter of an hour, enjoying the warmth of their own world in the quiet morning, and then she got up reluctantly.
There was not much time left before work, so after washing up, they made a simple breakfast of milk, cereal, boiled eggs, etc., mainly to replenish nutrition, and then the two of them came to the company.
"Boss Su, Assistant Song, good morning!"
Seeing Su Zelin and Song Yuwei walk in together, the front desk girl Zhizi Yuying hurriedly greeted them.
"morning!"
Su Zelin just nodded at the girl at the front desk.
It's not about being aloof or pretentious.
He holds a very high position in the company, and except for Yang Fen and Kang Baohong, almost any employee he meets will take the initiative to say hello, but Hunzi doesn't have the time to respond enthusiastically to each of them.
"Yuying, good morning to you too!"
Song Yuwei's response was much more lively.
Then he added: "I met the boss on the road, haha."
Watching the two people leave the front desk and walk side by side towards the office area, Zhang Yuying was muttering to herself.
It was said to be an encounter, but why did I feel that President Su and Assistant Song were more like a young couple? It seemed that the way Assistant Song looked at each other was different.
Is it just my illusion
I was at the company until noon when my cell phone rang.
Dad called.
"Son, our store will officially open this Saturday. See if you can come back then."
Unlike Zhao Lixia who is so long-winded, Su Jianjun goes straight to the point.
"Oh, it's opening soon!"
It took quite a long time from approval to opening of our own store, more than two months. Firstly, the investment and scale were not small, and secondly, the design and decoration were carefully polished, and every aspect was done meticulously.
But as the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The preliminary preparation work is still very important, so it doesn’t matter if you spend more time on it.
His own franchise store was opened in cooperation with the Qin family. Of course he had to go back for such an important event, whether it was because of his identity as the son of the Su family or as the operations director of New Century Digital.
So Su Zelin said without thinking: "Okay, Dad, I'll go back on Friday night!"
"Haha, okay. By the way, when you drive home, take Shiqing with you. Your uncle Qin has asked Shiqing, and she is fine too."
"Okay, got it."
"… "
Saturday morning, Jiang Lan.
"Hey, why is there a New Century Digital store here? Isn't this a chain store from Lin'an? Why is it opening in Jianglan?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you can often see it on TV and in newspapers. It is said that this is the kind of store where you can play around with computers and mobile phones first, and there are many trial machines!"
"That's great. I went to other places to buy a mobile phone. After playing around for a while, some salesmen looked impatient, as if you couldn't afford it."
"Isn't there a college student who became a senior executive in this company? He's from Jianglan. I heard that this store was opened by his family."
"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard of this college student. He was the top scorer in the English test in the college entrance examination a few years ago. He hasn't even graduated yet, but he's already become a leader in a large company. He drives home in his small car during holidays!"
"This college student is called Su Zelin. I heard he wasn't very good at school. He wasn't interested in learning, and he was a frequent fighter. Who would have thought he would do so well after entering college?"
"That's the old saying. Some of my classmates used to be reported for violating disciplines when they were in school, but they were smart and daring, and now they have become bosses. They donate a lot to every anniversary celebration of their alma mater and are guests of honor!"
"It seems that this New Century chain store can make money, otherwise this college student would not have let his family open one."
"… "
The citizens of the small town like to watch the fun. The New Century is about to open, and a stage has been set up at the door for performances, which has attracted a lot of people's attention. A group of onlookers at the door are talking about it.
Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing both had beaming faces. Next to them was a dark-skinned young man, about 23 or 24 years old, wearing a suit and shirt, and polished leather shoes.
Liu Caizhi, the manager of the New Century Jianglan Store, is also Liu Sufen’s nephew and Qin Shiqing’s cousin.
He felt a little nervous and excited, and sweat kept coming out of his face. In Liu Caizhi, Su Zelin saw the shadow of Kang Baohong back then, and he also understood his feelings.
This person only graduated from a vocational school and had a low level of education. He never thought that he would be able to hold such an important position as a manager, let alone take on such a responsible role at such a young age.
You know, this is a store with an investment of millions, including marketing and after-sales, and it has 20 to 30 employees.
When his aunt Liu Sufen called him and hoped that he could become a manager, Liu Caizhi was completely confused. He thought he must have heard wrongly and wondered how he had deserved to be thought so highly of by others.
Even if they are relatives, it is impossible to appoint someone to such an important position randomly. What's more, this store is not opened by my aunt's family, but in partnership with neighbors.
Later he learned from Liu Sufen that it was Su Zelin's strong recommendation that made them make such a decision.
Liu Caizhi was very strange.
It is true that he and Su Zelin knew each other, but they met in childhood. During the school holidays, he followed Qin Shiqing to his grandmother's house in the countryside to play. Although they had a lot of fun at that time, childhood playmates are just childhood playmates after all, and he should not be entrusted with important tasks. Personal relationships and business must be kept separate.
I heard that there will be many distinguished guests coming to congratulate us later, and even Deputy Mayor Zhao will show up.
As a mere commoner, how could he have ever met such a big leader? Moreover, as a manager, he would have to meet and talk with Deputy Zhao. That was why Liu Caizhi was so nervous. He was afraid that he would be rude to others.
"Talent, relax, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
Su Zelin patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"Well, Mr. Su!"
Liu Caizhi wiped the sweat from his face. He originally wanted to call him "Xiao Linzi", but changed his name temporarily. He was still a little uncomfortable with it.
Su Zelin today is no longer the childhood playmate, but a senior executive at New Century Digital's headquarters. Although franchise stores are not under the full management of the headquarters like directly-operated stores, he still has to change his name in public out of respect. Now that he has become a manager, he has to follow the rules of social occasions.
"Cousin, I think you look like a manager in this outfit."
Qin Shiqing covered her mouth and laughed.
She knew that Liu Caizhi was very concerned about his reputation, and praising him could boost his confidence.
"Really?"
Liu Caizhi was cheered up.
"My uncle and aunt will be very happy to see how successful you are. You will be so proud to tell others about it. Now you are the most handsome boy in the village. You must work hard!"
Qin Shiqing saw that the encouragement worked and continued to praise him.
Liu Caizhi's eyes lit up.
That’s right, I’m the only manager in Longmen Village and the most handsome guy in the village. It’s so glorious, but I can’t let down the expectations of my parents, as well as my aunt and uncle and Mr. Su’s trust!
They entrusted this store to me, so I have to manage it well even if it costs me my life!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his back a little, and his face seemed to radiate a different glow.
Su Zelin wasn't too worried about him.
Liu Caizhi's talent in digital and social circles was proven in his previous life. Moreover, he, like himself, has a good attitude, a smooth personality, and is good at dealing with people. It's just that he suddenly went from a small worker to a manager, and the role change was too fast, so he couldn't get used to it all of a sudden. Just give him more time.
It was almost nine o'clock and people kept coming to congratulate and present flower baskets, banners and other gifts.
Mainly Su Jianjun’s friends.
Lao Su is popular in Jianglan and has many friends. Now that he has opened a large digital store, there are naturally many people who come to support him.
A black sedan stopped by the roadside and a middle-aged man with meticulously groomed hair got out of the back seat. His appearance caused a sensation among some onlookers.
"Hey, isn't this Deputy Zhao?"
"I didn't expect that even Deputy Zhao would come. The owner of this digital store is really prestigious!"
"… "
This guest is Zhao Mingxuan’s father, Zhao Zhengteng.
As Jiang Lan's parent official, he often appears on TV. Anyone who pays attention to local news and has a little knowledge can recognize him.
Zhao Zhengteng was also the most important guest. In addition to coming to congratulate, he was also invited to cut the ribbon, which was a great honor.
Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing hurriedly took Liu Caizhi to meet them.
"Boss Su, Boss Qin, I wish you a great opening. I'm glad to see a well-known digital chain store like New Century Digital settle in Jianglan. I hope the two bosses will make a lot of money and contribute to the fiscal revenue of our city!"
Zhao Zhengteng smiled and shook hands with Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing one by one. When he met Liu Caizhi, he said, "The younger generation is pushing the older generation forward. Manager Liu is really young and promising!"
"Thank you Mayor Zhao for your praise. Please continue to take care of and guide my work in the future!"
Liu Caizhi was flattered.
After chatting with him for a few minutes, Zhao Zhengteng went to Su Zelin.
The big boss seemed easy to talk to. I thought he would be arrogant, but it seems I thought too much.
Liu Caizhi let out a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhengteng's arrival was expected, because Su Jianjun had tentatively invited him to cut the ribbon, and the other party agreed.
However, the arrival of two guests afterwards was quite unexpected.
"Boss Su, congratulations! I wish your store a grand opening, prosperous business, and great financial success!"
When Huang Hongbo and his wife appeared in front of him, Su Jianjun's face was full of surprise.
Huang Tuhao and I are not actually very familiar with each other. We didn’t even know each other before. After all, we are not in the same circle.
Later on, we played mahjong together a few times, so we became half-mahjong friends.
I didn't expect that he would come on the opening day of his store and bring his lover with him. This is really a great honor.
"Thank you, Boss Huang, you are so thoughtful!"
After asking the employees to accept the banner and flower basket, Su Jianjun and Huang Hongbo became polite and introduced Qin Daqing and Liu Caizhi to the two of them.
Huang Hongbo was still quite polite, but Li Juan became a little cold after learning about Qin Daqing's identity.
Because this man is Qin Shiqing's father.
And Qin Shiqing is his daughter's biggest rival in love.
“Uncle, aunt!”
Su Zelin also came over.
Even Qin Shiqing took the initiative to say hello.
Because Huang Hongbo and Li Juan were present when Qin Shiqing went back and forth between Lin'an and Jianglan to pick up Huang Panpan several times, she naturally knew their identities. Besides, since others were kind enough to congratulate her today, she had to show respect out of courtesy.
Li Juan became even more lukewarm when she saw Qin Shiqing. She only came for Su Zelin.
Huang Hongbo winked at her when he saw this, meaning that with so many people here today, an adult should not argue with a junior as it would be too rude and would make others look down on him. Li Juan's expression then softened a little and she responded with a few perfunctory words, but that could not be called enthusiastic.
"Boss Huang, I didn't expect to see you here again!"
Huang Hongbo’s social circle includes people of this level as Zhao Zhengteng. The two are old friends, but Zhao Zhengteng felt a little strange when he saw him.
As far as he knew, there was still a big gap between the levels of Huang Tuhao and Su Jianjun, and he had never heard of any intersection between them.
Logically, the couple who could appear together would not be just casual acquaintances.
Although Zhao Zhengteng was knowledgeable, he did not guess that the appearance of Huang Hongbo and Li Juan was due to the relationship between their precious daughter and Su Zelin.
Huang Hongbo was also very confused and didn't understand why Zhao Zhengteng was related to Su Jianjun, but neither of them asked much and just exchanged pleasantries for a while.
At this time, two uninvited guests arrived together. When everyone learned their identities, they were deeply moved.
President and General Manager of New Century!
Yang Fen and Kang Baohong would occasionally attend the opening ceremonies of some franchise stores, but usually most of them were the franchise stores in Lin'an. After all, they were too busy, and the number of franchise stores in New Century was growing very fast, so it was unrealistic to attend the opening ceremonies of all the franchise stores.
However, they heard that the investor of this store was Su Zelin's father, so they had to show him some favor no matter what.
It would be too late to get to Jianglan that day, so they came last night and stayed in Jianglan for one night.
Of course, Su Zelin also played the role of a good host and arranged a dinner for them to meet his father and Qin Daqing.
As the two helmsmen of a rapidly rising enterprise with more than three-digit stores and a growing market valuation, Xiao Yangge and Kang Baohong's status is no longer what it used to be.
The appearance of the two caused quite a stir.
Zhao Zhengteng and Huang Hongbo were both shocked.
Such a person actually took time out of his busy schedule to travel to a small city like Jianglan to attend the opening ceremony. This is really a great honor for him.
It seems that Su Zelin is indeed highly valued in this company and his position is very stable!
