Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 482 Starting a business is not always smooth sailing.

Chen Zhe then left "Chengfu Banquet," but when he saw that it was only three o'clock, he thought he would chat until at least four or five o'clock, and then call out the Suhui employees in the capital to have dinner.

Now it seems we can't eat, let's have some tea first.

Chen called Yao Lan and asked them to find a teahouse so he could take a taxi there.

Yao Lan quickly finalized the details; the teahouse was located near the Financial Street in Xicheng District, adjacent to the headquarters of China Mobile.

When Chen arrived at the tea room, he found that there were already five or six people sitting inside.

Some were people I knew, and some were people I didn't know.

"boss."

Yao Lan took the initiative to introduce them: "This is Ren Hong, this is Jiao Jing, this is Zhao Qiwen, and this is my assistant Zou Qingqing."

Of these four, Chen Zhe knew Zhao Qiwen, who was the market manager in the capital, but he was meeting the others for the first time.

This is normal, though. The [Tracing Back Learning Network] project alone now has more than 400 employees nationwide.

Besides the original group of veterans, there were also key personnel from various provinces. With this rapid expansion, Chen Zhe didn't have the energy to get to know everyone.

As for that group of veterans, they have now grown into capable backbone forces and have all started using assistants.

Yao Lan, the former unemployed substitute teacher, has long since shed that fragile image, replaced by a more mature one.

Chen clicked her tongue inwardly, thinking that she looked a bit like the successful businesswoman in her past life who "understood applause."

However, his abilities are undeniable. When Zhao Qiwen's promotion efforts were hampered, he immediately sought help from his superior, Yao Lan.

Despite her efforts being fruitless, Yao Lan managed to obtain the contact information, addresses, and hobbies of all the leaders at the Capital Mobile branch.

Chen then sent the big swindler Wan Xulin over, hoping to find out why the capital branch was unwilling to grant the "one-click registration" permission.

result……

"Still don't know the truth?"

Chen asked gently.

Ren Hong and Jiao Jing are both employees of the Capital Market Department. Although they have both received training in Guangzhou, they have never had the chance to meet this legendary "college student boss".

Meeting him today, emmmm... he seems to have a good temper, without the arrogance and conceit that comes with early success.

"I don't know what happened."

Yao Lan, who had already cut her hair short, opened her densely filled notebook and reported bit by bit: "The middle-level leaders of the capital branch are actually quite easy to approach. Giving them some gifts and taking them out for a meal is generally fine, but they don't understand the specific reasons."

"Those few high-ranking leaders seem to avoid us like the plague."

Yao Lan was puzzled: "I've never encountered this in other provinces. I originally thought it was because of the marketing department staff, so I replaced them with a new batch. Zhao Qiwen and the others were in the second batch, but it was still the same."

Chen remained silent. He had already heard reports about these situations before, but he was far away in Guangzhou at the time, so he was unable to focus on resolving them.

"What do you think, Lao Wan?"

Chen then asked about Wan Xulin, who was a professional conman even before being "recruited."

When two armies clash, if there is no straightforward way to win, sometimes trying unorthodox methods might yield surprising results.

"I……"

Wan Xulin coughed and was about to speak.

Yao Lan quickly interjected, "Old Wan applied for over 30,000 yuan in office expenses these past few days, but I don't know what he did with it."

Expanding the market requires a considerable amount of funding, which is also the "slush fund" for the marketing department staff. However, when Wan Xulin came, Chen Zhe instructed Yao Lan:

Regardless of how much money Wan Xulin spends to appoint him, we'll discuss that after we meet.

Unexpectedly, Yao Lan was so disrespectful, immediately undermining Lao Wan's efforts.

Chen smiled and said that Ms. Yao might be a bit extreme in her temperament because she had worked for more than ten years without getting a permanent position when she was young.

She works very hard, but she is also afraid that someone might undermine or affect her position in the company.

So when she worked with Xiang Qing, she and Xiang Qing were rivals. Now that she's partnered with Wan Xulin, it seems their relationship isn't great either.

"It's not a big deal."

Chen thought to himself that it just needed to be placed in the right position to maximize its effectiveness.

This is the magnanimity of someone who has been a leader. When they discover that a subordinate only has personality flaws but has not done anything to harm the company, their first reaction is not to despise or kick her out, but to plan to place her in a "suitable position" so that she can continue to shine.

"Old Wan, you say it."

Chen asked Wan Xulin to continue his report.

"Humph~"

Wan Xulin tugged at his collar, glanced sideways at Yao Lan, and said with a hint of smugness, "They have a vice president who likes to go to karaoke..."

"Is his name Gao Zichuan?"

Yao Lan couldn't help but interrupt again: "We've made plans many times, but President Gao completely ignores us."

"OK OK."

Chen frowned, signaling Wan Xulin to continue, which was also a warning to Yao Lan not to interfere anymore.

Yao Lan immediately fell silent. She had personally witnessed Su Hui grow from a small company into a well-known enterprise both domestically and internationally, almost entirely thanks to the big boss's strategic planning.

In fact, Zhang Guangfeng and Xiang Qing also admired the self-made entrepreneurs. Their personal charisma could turn some of their subordinates into their "die-hard fans".

"What Mr. Gao likes is not just a simple KTV; he likes the exhilarating feeling of belting out a song in a KTV after a foot massage."

Wan Xulin revealed his strategy: "So when he went out to have fun again a couple of days ago, I pretended to bump into him by accident..."

"It shouldn't be using the identity from back in time, right?"

Chen tried to stop Yao Lan from interfering, but he interrupted her once himself.

"Yes, nothing can be hidden from President Chen."

Wan Xulin immediately began to flatter him.

Yao Lan pursed her lips. She didn't know Wan Xulin's special skills; she just felt that this person was neither good at market research nor at creating computer documents.

Every day, she either doesn't sleep or is completely out of sight, and she spends money incredibly fast. If it weren't for the big boss's instructions, Yao Lan would have kicked her out long ago.

“I pretended to be a businessman from Hong Kong, doing business in the capital, so we started chatting right away.”

At this point, Wan Xulin seemed to be explaining, saying, "But the cost of living in the Forbidden City is indeed high. Thirty thousand yuan was spent in just two trips. I even treated him to a meal in between."

Chen Zhe didn't care about these details, but since Wan Xulin said so, he should have a result.

"During a casual chat after we got to know each other, since Hong Kong is close to Guangzhou, I steered the conversation towards [Guangzhou Retrospective] and [General Manager Chen of CUHK]."

Wan Xulin's tone gradually became serious: "Gao Zichuan inadvertently revealed the following situation..."

Yao Lan inexplicably began to feel nervous. It was like a physical examination; if there were no problems, the doctor would have let you go long ago.

However, the fact that it has been delayed for so long indicates that a major problem has occurred.

Chen, however, remained calm and even had the leisure to brew tea.

"The branch office in the capital refused to contact us."

Wan Xulin raised his index finger and poked upwards: "It's very likely due to a higher level."

Zhao Qiwen, Ren Hong, and Jiao Jing all subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, but Yao Lan quickly realized: "You mean, the headquarters of China Mobile?"

Wan Xulin nodded slowly.

"broken!"

Yao Lan blurted it out.

Because the headquarters of the three major telecom operators are all at the vice-ministerial level, when did they ever offend this behemoth?
