“Zhao Sisi, how is it?” Yang Ming walked through the company’s door and saw the busy Zhao Sisi.
“Yang Ming, you’re here.” When Zhao Sisi saw Yang Ming, she put down her work, looked up and said, “It’s almost done. I will finish up right away.”
After Zhao Sisi said that, she said to the people who were cleaning up, “You all should work faster. You all should be acquainted. This is the company’s General Manager Yang.”
“Hello, Manager Yang!” These employees quickly greeted as they heard that the CEO of the company was here.
“Everyone can get on with your work!” Yang Ming nodded to these people.
Seeing the size of Yang Ming’s company, Zheng Zetao was even more convinced that Yang Ming was someone with a solid background, so he took the initiative to pick up the extra rags and help the employees.
However, Yang Ming frowned. Is this Zheng Zetao a bit too diligent? If he is afraid that I would retaliate against him, I already said that I won’t cause him trouble. Now when he is still like this, it’s hard for me to say anything.
The one who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions. Yang Ming thought a little about it and understood Zheng Zetao’s intentions. This guy must be taking the opportunity to seek connections with Yang Ming, but Yang Ming didn’t expect that Zheng Zetao wanted to smooth relationships for his family through Yang Ming.
Li Dadong was a straightforward person who didn’t know how to be tactful. He couldn’t help but wonder about Zheng Zetao’s sudden change which was somewhat inexplicable. “Zetao, what’s wrong with you?” Before that, whatever Zheng Zetao told Yang Ming was said behind Li Dadong and Yao Yang’s back.
” Ha , it’s nothing. I am idle anyways, so I thought I can help out with something!” Zheng Zetao said with laughter.
“Right, Zhao Sisi, this the Lin Zhiyun that I’ve mentioned to you. She is also from our school, and she is studying economics. She is here to help me take care of the company.” Yang Ming ignored Zheng Zetao. Since he was willing to torment himself, Yang Ming just let him be. Instead, he turned and introduced Lin Zhiyun to Zhao Sisi.
“Hello, Lin Zhiyun. I’m Zhao Sisi. You can call me Sisi from now on.” Zhao Sisi reached out with a friendly hand. She vaguely knew about Lin Zhiyun’s identity from Zhang Bing. Naturally, she needed to be friendly toward this girl who had an undefined relationship with Yang Ming.
Although as a woman, she didn’t agree with Yang Ming’s approach, Zhao Sisi was the kind of girl who had a sense of the overall situation. Moreover, everything she did now was centered around Zhang Bing, and Yang Ming was Zhang Bing’s best friend. She naturally wouldn’t embarrass Yang Ming.
“Hello Sisi, then you can call me Zhiyun.” Lin Zhiyun quickly shook hands with Zhao Sisi.
To be honest, Zhao Sisi’s strength lay in advertising and public relations. She wasn’t good at the management of the company. Zhang Bing was the one who managed it a while ago. After all, Zhang Bing had the help from his father who was also a boss, so dealing with the problems of some company operations wasn’t difficult. Zhao Sisi had just been assisting.
But these days, Zhang Bing was hospitalized. The entire company’s burden was all on Zhao Sisi’s shoulders which made her feel a little helpless. This time, Zhao Sisi saw that Yang Ming had found a helper who was studying economics at school. She was naturally very happy.
“Li Dadong, how about you? Would you like to stay and help with the company?” Yang Ming asked Li Dadong, who had a blank expression. The name for him had also changed from the original “Big Winter Melon [1]” to the current Li Dadong.
” Ah? Me?” Li Dadong was stunned, thinking that he didn’t hear it clearly. “You mean you want to hire me? To come to your company?”
“Yeah.” Yang Ming smiled and nodded. “Do you have this idea?”
“This company?” Li Dadong asked with uncertainty.
“Yes, this is the company.” Yang Ming replied.
“Lin Zhiyun, too?” Li Dadong still didn’t believe it.
“She is also here,” said Yang Ming affirmatively.
“Then why are you still hiring me for?” Li Dadong was even more inexplicable.Logically, others try their best to hide from their enemy. They would do anything to keep their love rival as far away as possible! But this Yang Ming actually put me next to Lin Zhiyun? What does this mean?
“I’m hiring you to the company to help!” Yang Ming shrugged. “I am hiring you at the company, naturally, to help.”
“But…” Li Dadong was confused. He didn’t understand what Yang Ming wanted to do. Is he really sincere, or is he testing me? Or is there any conspiracy?
“Li Dadong, don’t think too much.” How could Yang Ming not see Li Dadong’s concerns? So, he said, “Actually, Zhiyun always regarded you as her brother, now and always. Both of you can’t be lovers, but that doesn’t mean both of you can’t be each other’s loved ones! All this while, you haven’t been to Zhiyun’s house, right? You’ve been avoiding Zhiyun?
“This isn’t the result that Zhiyun and I are willing to see. Now our generation is basically single-child. There aren’t brothers and sisters in the family. Moreover, if Zhiyun can have you as a big brother who is closer than her big brother, it is also a kind of happiness.
“Now, you’re destroying this happiness! Therefore, I have created an opportunity for you. I hope you can hold on to it. Of course, whether you’re willing or not, you have to think about it yourself. I won’t force you.”
“This… let me think about it…” Li Dadong couldn’t help but feel moved when he heard Yang Ming’s words. Yang Ming was telling the truth. During this time, I was indeed avoiding Lin Zhiyun!
Because he was very awkward, he didn’t know what to say after meeting her! Li Dadong regretted his recklessness. On that day, if he didn’t impulsively confess his feelings for Lin Zhiyun in front of her boyfriend, then this awkwardness right now could’ve been avoided.
Looking back now, in fact, the relationship and feelings between me and Zhiyun were actually quite good. Zhiyun was very dependent on me and regarded me as her big brother. I just thought that this brother and sister relationship would slowly evolve into love.
However, the rapport and goodness of all these things were gone, so Li Dadong found his high school friends to drink with when he reached an extremely depressed point.
Now, Yang Ming gave him a chance to repair his relationship with Lin Zhiyun, but Li Dadong was hesitant. After all, this was Yang Ming’s company. Although Li Dadong didn’t see Yang Ming as the kind of person who would conspire in the shadows, Li Dadong still felt weird.
“Well, I will give you time to think about it. Once you’ve made up your mind, give me a reply,” said Yang Ming.
After letting Li Dadong go back to think about it, Yang Ming was staring coldly at Zheng Zetao who hesitated to leave. “What? What’s the matter?”
“No… nothing… Brother Yang, can you give me your contact details?” Zheng Zetao asked carefully.
“Contact details? What do you want my contact details for?” Yang Ming frowned.
“That… that… it’s like this. I noticed Li Dadong go in a hurry and you didn’t leave your contact information. Didn’t you let him think about it? Once he has made up his mind, how is he going to let you know if he doesn’t have your contact details?” Zheng Zetao said in a serious manner, “I am thinking about asking for him.”
“So it’s like this.” Yang Ming noticed Zheng Zetao’s selfishness, but he still gave his cell phone number.
Zheng Zetao quickly saved the number in his cell phone, and only then did he reluctantly get up to leave.
The designer invited by Old Buffon wasn’t ordinary. The jewelry designed was noble and elegant. Zhao Sisi had transferred some completed samples from the computer and discussed it with Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun.
“I think these are all good. Let’s hurry up and let the factory work. It’s going to be Valentine’s Day soon. Although we are taking the high-end route, there are still a lot of rich couples.” Yang Ming said, “In the future, both you and Zhiyun can make these decisions. Zhang Bing and I will be the hands-off bosses!”
“Zhang Bing? I can’t let him be as leisurely as you are. After he gets released from the hospital, I have to let him come.” Zhao Sisi smiled and said.
“Those are your family’s matters. I won’t meddle.” Yang Ming waved his hand.
Lin Zhiyun’s ability to adapt and learn was very strong. Although she didn’t like to talk much, she had the demeanor of a strong businesswoman. Of course, this was just a look. Lin Zhiyun’s character wasn’t that ruthless.
This kind of person can do business, but her ability to handle the subordinates wasn’t as great. She could only use her personality and charm to influence them, but she couldn’t treat her subordinates too harshly, because Lin Zhiyun couldn’t be ruthless. This was her weakness.
Li Dadong, however, was just enough to make up for Lin Zhiyun’s weakness. As it could be seen from the usual contact, Li Dadong was the kind of person who wasn’t crooked. It was just right for managing the company’s personnel and discipline.
This kind of iron-faced god[2], I believe that anyone would be afraid after encountering him.
As Yang Ming thought about the company’s matters, Li Dadong was also beginning to worry about today’s happenings. Should he or should he not accept Yang Ming’s invitation?
