Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 759 List of Personnel Going Abroad
If you really want to host a socialite gathering at your own club, that's not impossible.

If Luo Yang were to swallow his pride and invite Min Huijun over, he could definitely win over a large number of respectable socialites in Shanghai's elite circles, thanks to her connections.

Unfortunately he didn't dare.

Back then, Liang Yuxin already gave Luo Yang a huge headache; if it were someone with a family background like Min Huijun, the trouble would only be more intense.

He couldn't even get away in time.

Besides, those "fake socialites" have their advantages; at least they don't put on airs, and they're all good-looking.

That's the truth; don't assume that all socialites are beautiful.

It's only 2012 now. Go back 20 years to the early days of China's reform and opening up in the 1990s. This means that the parents of today's young socialites were the first generation of entrepreneurs who started their businesses back then. What the parents look like, the children will basically look like.

The truly beautiful ones are all from the post-2000 generation.

The first generation of entrepreneurs has become grandparents. In order to improve the genes of their offspring (in terms of intelligence and appearance), they will make choices in their children's marriages, which has resulted in the third generation of children having good looks.

Luo Yang kept a low profile most of the time and used Shen Jinglan to shield himself from many covetous glances.

Because it was the weekend, he stayed at the club with He Maosong and the others until the early hours of the morning before leaving. When they left, he took Shen Jinglan back to their apartment in Tomson Riviera.

Even though it wasn't her first time at Tomson Riviera, Shen Jinglan still felt uneasy.

Whether it was the way they looked at Luo Yang or the way they looked at the house, there was an indescribable expectation in their eyes.

"Mr. Luo, are you satisfied with the preparations for the clubhouse?"

While massaging Luo Yang's shoulders, Shen Jinglan asked for his opinion: "I think your friends seem to have some differing opinions about the club."

"Actually, this has little to do with you."

Luo Yang already had a plan in mind: "You have done a very good job in terms of service, but I am a little unsure about the positioning of this club. In addition, I lack my own status in the industry and my own network of contacts. That is the root cause."

In fact, wavering is also a helpless situation.

If he were already a big shot in the business world, he would only need to raise his arm and call for help, and those prominent figures would definitely come to support him, thus establishing the club's high-end image in a short time.

"But you don't need to worry."

After an afternoon and evening of investigation, Luo Yang summarized a lot of things and also carefully considered and summarized them.

He rested the back of his head on Shen Jinglan's lower abdomen, closed his eyes, and whispered, "You and Manager Zhu Jialiang should continue operating according to the original positioning. I will also organize some activities for the club from time to time. As for the final positioning, let's not think too much about it for now. As my influence grows, we will eventually find a path with our own unique characteristics."

"Ah."

Shen Jinglan agreed, "I will relay your words to Manager Zhu tomorrow."

"And what about those socialites?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yang emphasized, "We don't care if they want to snag a rich husband, but there's one thing we must control: we can't let the Jiangnan Club become a place where prostitutes run rampant. If such a trend even appears, we must nip it in the bud."

"I understand this."

Shen Jinglan immediately replied, "Manager Zhu and I have also emphasized the need to avoid this phenomenon, because it would destroy the Jiangnan Club from the root."

"By the way, what about what I told you last time? What have you thought about?"

During our last chat at Jiang Wen's house, Luo Yang mentioned his plans for her future.

One option is to keep her at the club and promote her to head of the club at a suitable time in the future; the other option is to transfer her to Sunshine Cultural Tourism to be in charge of the management of high-end hotels in tourist areas.

"Mr. Luo, I've thought about it for a long time since you mentioned it last time, and I still can't make up my mind."

In front of Luo Yang, Shen Jinglan dared not hide anything and spoke frankly: "The future of the club business doesn't seem as promising as managing a high-end hotel, but after learning from Manager Zhu for a while, I realized that if the Jiangnan Club can make a name for itself in the business circle, the connections I can build just through this platform will be enough to support me for a lifetime, but..."

Even if he didn't finish saying what came next, Luo Yang could guess it.

Whether the club can succeed depends on how much Luo Yang values ​​it.

If Luo Yang only sees this club as a place to entertain guests for his business, then its future prospects are certainly not very broad, and Shen Jinglan's future here is definitely not as good as managing a hotel.

No wonder she hesitated and found it difficult to make a choice.

"Then let's not make a choice yet."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, the first hotel in the cultural tourism area won't open for more than a year. Not only do you have time, but I also need time."

He himself hadn't figured out how to position Jiangnan Club.

"Then I will follow your arrangements."

Shen Jinglan was like a vine clinging to a big tree; how she spread was up to Luo Yang.

Why haven't I seen Jiang Wen today?

Sitting in the wicker chair, Luo Yang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is she slacking off again?"

"No, Jiang Wen is quite serious about her work now."

Shen Jinglan immediately explained, "Didn't you put her in charge of procurement? A while ago, Tianjin Customs issued a notice that a batch of confiscated goods would be auctioned off, so Jiang Wen went to Tianjin to inspect the goods."

The amount of smuggled goods seized by customs every year is enormous. These confiscated goods are auctioned off regularly, and the proceeds go into the national treasury.

This is the literal explanation.

However, many people don't know that good items are never sold at public auctions; they are usually bought privately long before they are actually sold.

For example, some people can buy good cars at very low prices through certain channels and still get them registered normally; these are smuggled cars confiscated by customs. "A notice of confiscated auctions?"

Knowing all this, Luo Yang scoffed, "When it comes to the public auction, are there any good items left?"

"Manager Zhu knows a supplier who has some connections in the north."

Shen Jinglan further explained, "The announcement is just a notification; we don't need to participate in the auction."

"Manager Zhu's methods are a bit unconventional."

Luo Yang commented first, then said, "Let it go this time, but don't do it again. Although you can get cheaper things through this channel, it's not worth it to skirt the rules for such a small profit. The premium on the products sold in our club comes from the service and the platform, not from increasing profits in this way."

He really doesn't care about this small amount of money.

"Never mind, I'll explain to Zhu Jialiang later."

Before Shen Jinglan could reply, Luo Yang added, "You're still his deputy after all, so it won't put you in a difficult position."

The hands massaging Luo Yang's shoulders paused for a moment, then slid down to his chest.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Luo."

Shen Jinglan leaned down, her lips close to Luo Yang's ear, and whispered sweetly, "I see you've had a long day. Would you like to take a bath to relax?"

Luo Yang kept his eyes closed, neither saying yes nor no.

It looked as if she was asleep.

"Mr. Luo, I recently learned some massage techniques from a traditional Chinese medicine therapist. Would you like to try them?"

"Oh?"

Luo Yang relaxed his brows; "Then let's give it a try?"

"Please rest for a moment, I'll go prepare."

Shen Jinglan lit a cigarette for Luo Yang, then left the balcony with light steps.

After recovering from physical therapy and massage, and with a rest on Sunday, Luo Yang was full of energy and ready to throw himself into the new week's work.

"Boss, this is a preliminary list of accompanying personnel for the trip abroad."

Wen Wan, who had officially taken office as the chairman's assistant, walked confidently into the chairman's office.

Today she wore a chiffon blouse with black tassels at the neckline, and a beige fitted pencil skirt that just reached her knees, showcasing her slender waist and full, pert hips. Her straight, rounded calves were encased in black stockings, and a pair of open-toe high heels made her figure appear even taller.
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, and his gaze lingered on Wen Wan for half a minute before he looked away.

"so many people?"

The list that Wen Wan handed him had a long string of names on it.

First up is Luo Yang, the protagonist of this trip abroad. Following his name is Song Wan, the CEO of a bike-sharing company, who will naturally accompany him. After Song Wan is Xiao Wei, whose name is followed by a parenthesis containing a question mark.

This is one of Wenwan's more detail-oriented aspects.

She knew that Song Wan would be transferred to take charge of Guobao Film and Television next year, and Xiao Wei would be promoted to the head of the company. So she added Xiao Wei's name to the list of people going abroad. Because she was not sure, she showed Luo Yang with parentheses and question marks, asking if he should let Xiao Wei accompany him as well.

Following Xiao Wei is Ding Hongyi, the marketing director of Kunpeng Technology. Luo Yang's trip to the United States was not only to discuss cooperation on shared bicycles with people from IDG headquarters, but also to inspect the sales of drones in the US market. Therefore, Ding Hongyi appeared on the list of people accompanying him on the trip.

After Ding Hongyi, it's Wen Wan's turn. As Luo Yang's assistant, she'll definitely be by his side.

Following her were two people from the board office, Sun Wei and Chu Jing, but both of them had parentheses after their names, meaning that Luo Yang would ultimately decide who to take abroad.

These people were followed by the other accompanying personnel.

There are a total of seven people, including finance, legal, translation, and security personnel.

If everyone on the list is to accompany the group abroad, the team will reach 14 people.

Luo Yang looked at the list for a few minutes, then picked up a pen from the side.

"Let Xiao Wei go with her."

Luo Yang slashed out the question mark in parentheses after Xiao Wei's name: "She will be in charge of the shared bike project going forward, including the overseas company part. She needs to get to know the people at IDG headquarters."

These words were spoken to Wen Wan, but also to himself.

After deciding whether Xiao Wei would go or not, the pen tip slid over the names of Sun Wei and Chu Jing.

"Whose spoken English is better between the two of them?"

"Sun Wei passed the CET-6 exam."

"Then let's take Sun Wei with us."

Luo Yang put a checkmark in parentheses after Sun Wei's name with his pen: "I'll be abroad for a long time this time, and I need Chu Jing to keep an eye on Gray Rhino for me. Let her stay and watch the house."

This is just a superficial reason, because he knows in his heart that, at least until the end of August, he doesn't need to keep an eye on the US crude oil futures market.

However, only Luo Yang knew about this, so for Chu Jing, it was a plausible reason.

At least there won't be any sense of shame within the board office.

Wen Wan thought so too, so after Luo Yang made his decision and gave a reason, she immediately nodded and said, "Then it seems that Chu Jing still has a heavier burden."

After browsing through the entire list, Luo Yang pondered for a moment, then began to add names.
