The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Tencent Entertainment Headquarters.

After about a third of the people had moved out.

The whole place felt much more empty, as if this building had originally been bustling with activity.

It suddenly became quiet.

Chen Pingsheng usually picks out a set of car keys randomly every morning when he comes to work here.

Today was no different, but he still came over after seeing his grandparents off.

He also arranged for them to travel to the places he had visited before, but he couldn't accompany them because of work.

Peng Ying went back with them; the old lady had simply gone to accompany them on their trip.

After arriving home, I probably won't stay for more than three days before coming back. I don't know whether I'll take a plane or a return bus then.

He drove his Bugatti here today; it's a really cool car.

After he reached the eighteenth floor, he specifically asked Bai Xin to bring Song Shuiqing up and ask her if she had eaten breakfast.

Song Shuiqing was acting mysteriously, as if coming to the 18th floor was something shady.

Chen Pingsheng went and bought a few decent Deyuan buns himself.

Have you had breakfast?

"Brother-in-law, you called me over just for breakfast?"

"Why not?"

Song Shuiqing took off her hat and said, "Brother-in-law, I come over every few days, and my colleagues are starting to think I have a special relationship with the boss."

"You and I have a special relationship."

Song Shuiqing thought about it and agreed, but she still explained, "Brother-in-law, they didn't know any of this when I came here. Every time I come here, they look at me with such envy that they're practically devouring me. Just you wait, when I go downstairs, they'll definitely be pulling me aside to ask me all these questions."

"Hey, Shuiqing, what does the boss want you to do upstairs?"

"Qing, where are you going tonight? I just made a reservation at a restaurant that looks really good. How about I treat you to dinner there tonight?"

“Hey Shuiqing, come here for a second. I saw a small bag that I think would be perfect for you. It’s only a little over three thousand. I bought it especially for you. When the boss calls you upstairs again, could you put in a good word for me?”

Song Shuiqing is quite the little actress; she imitates her colleagues' lines very well.

That was so affected and pretentious.

Song Shuiqing said seriously, "If they knew that the boss was just inviting me to breakfast, then my meals for three months would be booked by someone else."

"That's an exaggeration?" Chen Pingsheng looked at her with amusement.

Song Shuiqing scoffed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, you're only finding out now? Didn't you say a girl's clothes were pretty in the elevator the other day? Turns out, all the female colleagues in our company snatched them up that afternoon."

"The next day when I took a look, good heavens, my female colleague who weighs 200 pounds had managed to squeeze herself into that fashionable little suit. Looking around the whole company, almost half of them were wearing it, and the rest were those who hadn't managed to get one."

Song Shuiqing was both a big eater and a great talker.

Holding a large bag, he stuffed food into his mouth without any regard for his image.

What she said was actually just the daily routine of working within the group.

It's not too exaggerated, but one female colleague is the most bizarre.

Relying on her good looks, she dared to discuss how to get close to the boss in the staff cafeteria.

They even came up with a cheesy plot point where someone accidentally twists their ankle in the elevator.

Song Shuiqing didn't know if she was joking or not, but after she said it in the morning, she received a termination letter from the group's HR in the afternoon.

Chen Pingsheng was unaware of such a thing and had never paid attention to it.

Song Shuiqing said somewhat exaggeratedly, "There are quite a few female employees who have this kind of thought, but she is the first foolish one to say it directly in the staff coffee shop. It is not unjust for her to be fired."

"I mean, you've come to my brother-in-law's company, you don't spend all your time focusing on these kinds of things, do you?"

Song Shuiqing waved her hand, "No, I also have a very serious internship. I'm about to graduate. After I graduate, I can officially come to your side as a junior online marketer."

The online marketing department is under Jiang Yilei's charge.

Its main responsibility is to conduct online positioning and promotion for its various startups.

Song Shuiqing was very happy. She didn't know that she was officially hired ahead of schedule because her brother-in-law often invited her up for breakfast.

Or perhaps it's because she genuinely possesses that ability.

Forget it, what's the point of worrying about this?
She remains optimistic.

After she finished eating the steamed buns, Chen Pingsheng didn't have anything else to do with her.

Tell her to go and do her own thing.

While waiting for the elevator, Song Shuiqing ran into Bai Xin standing at the elevator entrance. She wondered which important person was coming.

It was surprising that her boss's only secretary had to come and pick her up personally. Bai Xin greeted her, and she naturally knew about Song Shuiqing's special relationship.

The uncle's wife's younger cousin.

Apart from Song Wu, the top connected person in the entire group.

She has the most powerful connections.

However, the rest of the group was unaware of this.

She didn't deliberately show off this, and just honestly and dutifully worked as a junior intern on the fifteenth floor.

I should be officially hired soon; everything is proceeding according to normal procedures.

The HR representative there even came to ask her about Song Shuiqing's arrangements.

The main reason is that she is the only person in the group who can frequently go to the boss's office.

This is something that could easily lead HR professionals who are unaware of the details to have wild ideas.

Finally, I slapped my forehead and decided to ask her myself.

It's actually an indirect way of asking the boss what he means.

"Sister Bai Xin, who are you waiting for here?"

Song Shuiqing asked her curiously.

Bai Xin was also young; she was one of the earliest employees to join the group, and her legendary experience was being the first employee of Tengying.

For cleaning windows.

Then, as he kept wiping, he achieved the pinnacle of his life.

Others can only envy her, because she was by the boss's side when Tengying was first established.

Sometimes ability is secondary; the key is having the right timing.

Tencent Entertainment is now valued at over 10 billion yuan and is about to become a listed company.

Anyone who wants to stand out will have to fight their way through a massive army.

Those who were eliminated were all graduates of top-tier universities (985 universities).

You also need to have work experience in a large company.

Just think about fighting these people. If you don't have some real strength, who can easily take you up?

"Liu Yifei, the fairy sister."

Bai Xin said, "She had been trying to meet with the boss for several days. Chen Qi got married a while ago, and then our group had to relocate its industries to Shanghai. We've been so busy that we only had an hour to meet today."

Song Shuiqing outwardly said "oh," but inwardly she was quite surprised.

This is Liu Yifei, the "Fairy Sister"! No matter what, she's always been a top star in the entertainment industry.

I have to wait in line for several days to see my brother-in-law here.

It would be a lie to say you weren't surprised.

But thinking about it, it seems quite normal. Tencent Entertainment Group is already a very big name in the entertainment industry.

The company has two top-tier female celebrities under its management: Yang Mi and Zhao Liying.

The male character, Teng Ge, is now popping up again very quickly.

There's also Chen Sicheng, a rising star director.

Before we knew it, it had become a super entertainment group teeming with talent and dazzling stars.

Song Shuiqing obediently took the elevator down and waited until she reached the fifteenth floor.

Her colleagues all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.

It looked as if there were flowers on her face.

There are definitely no flowers; it's just like usual.

Every time she went to the 18th floor, she would immediately be chased by a group of colleagues asking her about the situation after she came down.

Then her boss would come over to talk to her, asking if she had any difficulties at work recently, and so on.

Does she need someone to help her with the workload?

That's absolutely unacceptable. If her cousin, Song Yanxi, finds out, she'll definitely scold her.

Her job is already easy enough. If she lets others share the workload, wouldn't she just need to go to the 18th floor every few days to eat a big steamed bun and get a promotion and a raise?

We can't use that kind of back door.
