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

Chapter 501 "Daughter" Arrives

Despite Chen Zhe's continued reluctance to make mobile phones, he felt compelled to offer some positive response to Lao Wang's statement; otherwise, it would be too insensitive.

Even if you don't do it, you can still take a look.

Just like the classic saying, "Even if you don't do it, you can still get some freebies."

"Then let's go later."

Chen said, "I've arranged for the owner of the advertising company to come and see the sample photos."

When Wang Youqing heard Chen agree, he was overjoyed. He said, "Don't even mention 'later,' I'd do it in the middle of the night!"

Next, Chen Zhe had Wang Youqing report to the headquarters of Wanda, saying that Su Hui was willing to listen to the price again, and that there was no need for the two companies to be so hostile; it would be better to sit down and make money together.

Wang Youqing wasn't stupid. In the 90s, a bachelor's degree was still highly valued. He guessed that Chen's intention wasn't to negotiate, but rather a delaying tactic.

They were using the time spent in the negotiations to make their own preparations.

They found a new store and started renovations. If they couldn't reach an agreement this time, Wan Da was determined to take back the free storefronts.

There will be an impact, but it won't cause too much of a stir.

This can be considered a business tactic: negotiating on the surface while actually preparing to make a clean getaway long beforehand.

"Then I'll keep an eye on it recently."

Wang Youqing said enthusiastically, "Some stores are not Wanta's resources, but they are still relatively cheap and in good locations. I'll compile a list and send it to President Song."

As he finished speaking, Wang Youqing looked at Song Qing, his tone somewhat ingratiating, probably trying to ease the tension.

What about the renovation costs of those stores?

Song Qing remained unyielding and asked bluntly, "The renovation and office setup of the more than 50 stores that were taken back cost about 200 million yuan. Who will compensate for this money?"

Chen took a sip of mineral water and remained silent.

Until Wang Youqing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!"

Old Wang has definitely not been wasting his time all these years; he should have no problem scraping together 200 million, or even more.

However, this was ultimately an "undeserved disaster," and he was forced by Song Qing to take on the loss out of guilt and loyalty.

Chen felt that the time was almost right. Old Wang had already taken a stand and expressed his stance. Pressuring him any further would easily lead to a rebellious mentality and generate resentment towards Song Qing.

Therefore, Chen said, "President Song, Lao Wang didn't do it on purpose. He did it all for the development of the agency, which is why he risked giving you the shop space for free. Now that things have come to this, it's entirely Wan Da's fault."

"These 200 million..."

Chen asked, after some discussion, "How about you guys at Anju.com take over?"

Many people may think that superiors should assign tasks to their subordinates by "commanding" or "doting on them".

That's fine too. In fact, when things are urgent, leaders should be more decisive.

However, when leaders show respect to their subordinates in public, it not only makes the subordinates more loyal to them, but also elevates their social status.

Hearing the boss's questioning tone, Song Qing's expression gradually softened.

Although Song Qing is not a graduate of a top university, many people only see her resilience and hard work. In reality, she is very smart and has a habit of thinking.

For most of us (at least 90%), learning and academic qualifications are essential stepping stones.

But for some, platforms and opportunities are more important.

However, there is one situation that will never happen: someone who is neither good at thinking and learning nor has a degree, yet likes to boast, "Nobody appreciates me. If I were put in XXX position, I would definitely do better."

To give a clear example, the current period of rapid expansion is the time for retrospection, and Chen Zhe is a very forward-thinking team leader. For an individual, even a little ability can make them stand out.

So, this is a pretty great platform.

However, the "Chinese language boy" who studied in New Zealand was completely unaware of this. He spent his days at work watching anime and playing on his phone, completely oblivious to the opportunity slipping away.

Believe it or not, once the industrial upgrading is completed and these "low-level connections" are sidelined, this happy boy might even cry and complain, "Nobody is willing to give me a chance."

Song Qing didn't start out directly in charge of the agency. She actually started as a customer service representative making phone calls. In terms of qualifications, she was far inferior to "Happy Boy," but she seized every opportunity and is now a teammate that Chen Zhe relies on.

Therefore, after Chen's persuasion, Song Qing immediately realized that the "red face" part was almost over, and now it was time for them to give each other a way out.

"Actually, I know too..."

Song Qing sighed: "It has nothing to do with Brother Wang. I was just anxious. We were planning to expand in Foshan and Qingyuan, but Wan Da had to cause this mess. Actually, even if Brother Wang gave me the 200 million, I wouldn't accept it."

"If we're really talking about the division of responsibilities, I'm the general manager, so I should bear more responsibility."

Song Qing smiled and said, "But I can't come up with 200 million in compensation. I might even have to borrow money from the big boss. Why don't we all listen to the big boss and let Anju.com take responsibility for this problem?"

"but!"

Song Qing's tone became slightly more serious: "This has taught us a lesson. From today onwards, if similar decision-making errors occur again, I will start by holding those responsible accountable one by one, and we will punish them severely!"

Look at the logic of his speech, the emotional buildup, and the resounding warning at the end. Zhu Xiuxiu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Holy crap, is President Song really that capable?"

I wonder if I could apply to be her secretary.

Qu Baoguo and his henchmen stood as straight as elementary school students, barely daring to breathe.

With tattoos covering his arms, he's suffered mistreatment because of them.

Old Wang was also very touched. He had always admired Song Qing, but because of her age, he always treated her as a junior.

After this incident, everyone became "equal".

Chen felt that the problem was almost solved and was quite relieved.

In her previous life, Song Qing was probably just as good, but because she didn't use the platform to trace back to the past, she wasn't that famous.

Now that I have this opportunity, I might not be any worse than Sister Mingzhu.

However, Chen Zhe did not mention that he was in contact with Bi Guiyuan. Everyone here assumed that he was going to part ways with Wan Da and was making preparations for it.

Chen Zhe, however, stood on a higher, top-level platform, quietly overlooking the game of chess.

This is because people who do specific tasks and those who do overall planning have different perspectives on problems.

Not long after, Sang Xianzhu arrived.

Of course, nobody here cares about Zhu Xiuxiu's communication skills. Leaders naturally assume that it's inevitable for trivial tasks to go smoothly, and if anything goes wrong, it's your problem.

Therefore, being a secretary to a leader doesn't involve as much responsibility as Song Qing, but the pressure might be just as great.

"Mr. Chen."

Sang Xianzhu nodded to the strangers around him, then opened his laptop and showed Chen Zhe a sample advertisement for the learning website.

Everyone gathered around, and when they saw that it was actually Lin Dan in the picture, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"I feel like it should at least be broadcast on the provincial TV station."

Zhu Xiuxiu smacked her lips in evaluation.

Chen smiled and said, "Is CCTV not good enough?"

"Really going to be on CCTV?"

Sang Xianzhu's eyes lit up. He thought that Su Hui had made a decision. This was an important qualification for his advertising company. He would even accept the advertisement for free.

"Is Mr. Sang sponsoring this?"

Chen asked back with a smile.

Sang Xianzhu gave an embarrassed smile: "Where would I get that much money?"

I won't discuss this topic further, but the advertisement itself is good in terms of concept, casting, and post-production; it's just that the visuals and colors seem a bit out of sync.

However, Chen was not a professional, and although he understood it in his heart, he didn't know how to describe it.

"How about we ask Lao Miao and Yang Guang to take a look?"

Wang Youqing suddenly said.

Lao Miao is Miao Ming, the deputy director of the TV station, and Yang Guang is the head of the advertising department.

Yang Guang, in particular, reviewed the advertisements every day. The advertisements for the learning website on TV were constantly improved based on Yang Guang's opinions.

"also."

Chen nodded in agreement.

"Old Miao..."

Although Wang Youqing had been humiliated by the leaders at headquarters, he was still a big shot in Guangzhou, so he loudly called on Miao Ming and Yang Guang to get together tonight.

"Um... wait a minute..."

Chen suddenly called out to Wang Youqing, as if he had just remembered something.

Wang Youqing thought Chen had changed his mind and listened to his next instruction.

"Let's call Huang Cancan over too."

Chen thought for a moment and said.

Wang Youqing paused for a moment, then grinned and said into the receiver, "Remember to bring the beautiful Huang along too!"

Who is Huang Cancan?

Zhu Xiuxiu, who had only been a secretary for a day, couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be our boss's wife?"
