Chapter 497 I Only Have One Daughter

It was only after everyone's good-natured laughter that Chen realized he had a muscle reaction again, so they offered him a few words of encouragement, but he was still preoccupied.

What was he spacing out about just now?

It was because of Wang Haibin's act of "threatening him" that Chen Zhe suddenly realized that he had a major hidden danger—that he was too famous.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The benefit is that it reflects, in a way, that the retrospective has indeed gained public acceptance.

The downside is that it's like building a house on an active volcano. It may seem fine now, but it could erupt any day and cause a bloodbath.

To eliminate this potential threat, Chen plans to return to Guangzhou to do some remedial work (and pull some crazy moves), ideally turning "fame" and "battleground" into two parallel lines that never intersect.

At noon, although Sweet had said she was going back, Chen suggested that she stay and have lunch with everyone.

After all, the company just changed its big boss. Although this smoothed out any potential turmoil, having a meal together helps to increase the rapport between the leader and subordinates.

In Chinese culture, sharing a meal is not only an act to satisfy hunger, but also an important vehicle for social interaction and emotional connection.

Song Shiwei nodded in agreement.

Sweet is a very interesting girl. When Chen is not around, she can hold things together.

But when Chen Zhe appeared, she let him make all the arrangements and decisions.

Even during meals, she would quietly sip her soup with her head down, leaving everything else, like setting the mood, to the man beside her.

Fortunately, Chen Zhe was very good at this, and he praised Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen to the skies at the dinner table, making the two of them tearful with emotion.

However, after the meal, Chen told them that the company's current staffing was not ideal, so he planned to send a new colleague from Guangzhou to be in charge of finance.

I hope that Mr. Chen, Mr. Wei, and the new colleague can make Taomi Technology better and better.

Chen Yunpeng paused for a moment, then readily welcomed his new colleague.

Wei Zhen didn't care about all that; he wasn't in charge of the company's internal affairs anyway.

Liu Hongjian and Xiang Xiaohui exchanged a glance. They couldn't understand how a 20-year-old boy could be so shrewd and speak with such depth.

Let's examine how much meaning Chen conveyed in just a few words:
First of all, the new colleague was sent from Guangzhou.

Chen Zhe was openly telling Chen Yunpeng and Wei Zhen that those were his people, his spies and informants planted in Taomi Technology.

Secondly, "I hope the three of them can run Taomee Technology better and better."

The subtext of this statement is that Chen intends to place the new colleague in a position similar to that of Chen Wei.

Finally, I was in charge of finances.

They only manage the money, but they still give you complete control over the company's operations and a great deal of freedom.

Before I met Chen Zhe, if someone told me that a college student had achieved what Chen Zhe has today, it would have been a great inspiration.

The two of them must have thought it was because of their family relationship.

However, after getting to know Chen, Liu Hongjian and Xiang Xiaohui even felt that Chen's current achievements had not yet reached their limit.

Looking at his handling of the "Wang Haibin rebellion incident," as well as the subsequent centralization, delegation, and supervision, he demonstrated a calm grasp of "power and people's hearts."

"A needle hidden in cotton."

Liu Hongjian made this assessment of Chen Zhuo.

Xiang Xiaohui retorted, "My little sister is just as good."

Liu Hongjian nodded slightly.

However, he still had a misconception that his younger cousin's abilities were actually unleashed after meeting Chen Zhe. The two were compatible, which allowed them to complement each other and shine together in the business world. If his younger cousin hadn't met Chen Zhe, Liu Hongjian felt she would have been the kind of aloof female professor at a university who focused solely on academic studies and had no interest in romance or marriage.

……

On the way back to the hotel, Chen called Jiang Fu and asked her to send one of Shi Lin or Jiang Jinyu over, as they were urgently needed in Shanghai.

Jiang Fu disagreed, as these two had been training accounting and finance professionals for a long time.

Chen said, "If they don't come, you have to come."

Jiang Fu paused for a moment, then said that Shi Lin already had the ability to stand on his own, and even if he were to become the CFO of a listed company, he probably wouldn't make any major mistakes.

"Then it's Shi Lin!"

Chen left Cong Ni's phone number so that Shi Lin could contact her when he arrived in Shanghai.

After the dinner party ended, Chen told Cong Ni not to come back to the hotel with him, but to stay at Taomi Technology and help out for the time being, as a summer job.

"Get a summer job" is just a euphemism; the real purpose is to let Cong Ni find out about the company's staff and operations so that Shi Lin can tell her when he arrives.

In this way, Shi Lin can skip the process of "adapting and getting familiar" and integrate into the group as quickly as possible.

Cong Ni was overjoyed. Song Shiwei was going to the United States, and it was a "mother-daughter family trip." She knew she wouldn't be able to go with her, and that long summer vacation was going to be so boring.

But being able to intern at a company and play an important role (at least that's what Ni thinks) is definitely more meaningful than being a "Dehua" back in her hometown.

As for food, drink, and accommodation in Shanghai?
Chen didn't explain, so Cong Ni wasn't flustered.

Without saying much or rambling, all he had to do was show the photos of himself and Weiwei in the dorm to President Chen and President Wei, demonstrating their "close roommate relationship," and Bao would never go hungry.

When they arrived at the hotel, Lu Lin and Lu Man had already had lunch and were enjoying coffee in the downstairs café.

Music flowed like water, and two female university professors, one in a black silk dress and the other in a polka-dot waist-cinching dress, sat by the window. They wore jade bracelets, a common accessory for middle-aged women, on their wrists, exuding elegance and scholarly charm.

Chen felt that Shanghai was a particularly bourgeois city. Even the same person would seem very serious in the capital, impatient in Guangzhou, but in Shanghai, he would inexplicably have a more romantic and charming demeanor.

"My mom and my aunt are together."

Xiang Xiaohui accurately commented, "She already has the demeanor of a noblewoman."

Chen turned his head and said something, and suddenly Xiang Xiaohui and Liu Hongjian burst into laughter, even Sweet Sister's lips pursed slightly.

What are you all yelling about?

Lu Lin scolded the younger generation: "Be careful what you say, you're making so much noise."

Xiang Xiaohui stuck out her tongue, but couldn't hide her playful smile: "Chen said that when Auntie first met him, she took out a card..."

"Chen was short of money at the time, and he thought his aunt, who was dressed in gold and silver, would say, 'Here's 500 million, leave my daughter,' but... well, let's just say it's a different story..."

Xiang Xiaohui clutched her stomach: "But there was only 5 yuan inside. Chen said, 'Who uses such a small amount of money to test love... Hahaha...'"

"I thought he was a fraud at the time."

Lu Man pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses dismissively: "If it were now..."

Professor Lu paused mid-sentence, took a sip of his coffee, and changed the subject, asking, "Is the matter resolved?"

Actually, everyone just realized that if Chen wanted 500 million now, we could give it to him.

I only have one daughter.
