Back to the prime of life

Chapter 137 Chen Xiaohe

Old Zhao, the owner of Zhao's Gatehouse, is the first person Lu Changge knew from his previous life when he was reborn in Jiangzhou.

Strictly speaking, his wife is the second one, but Lu Changge didn't have much communication with that person, so the second one in his mind should be Chen Xiaohe in front of him.

After meeting the real person, he was able to piece together more details and salvage deeper memories.

In his previous life, he met Chen Xiaohe, who was the vice president of a chain cake shop. The shop was not open nationwide, but it had more than a hundred branches in Jiangzhou and several nearby cities, making it quite large.

Because they had only met a few times and were not particularly familiar with each other, he really couldn't understand why such a good principal would eventually switch to a completely unrelated industry.

But because it is completely unrelated, we can be sure that the motivation driving Chen Xiaohe to leave her current position must be very strong.

Otherwise, who would give up their existing success and start from scratch in another field?

In addition, if a person can prove herself in two completely different industries, then her management ability is definitely beyond doubt.

"Mr. Lu, why did you think of organizing a fun swimming activity for students in our school?"

Chen Xiaohe's soft voice brought Lu Changge back to his senses.

Meeting her gaze, he replied, "There are three factors. The first is internal, as high-end swimming pools can only make a profit from children's swimming training programs. The second is external. This year is the Olympic year, and the enthusiasm and attention paid to sports across the country, from top to bottom, are unparalleled, including the parents who chose your school. The third is your consideration, Principal Chen. Since I came to Jiangzhou, I've heard that Jiangzhou Foreign Language Middle School is the best private middle school in the entire province. So, of course, we have to seek the best possible cooperation."

Lu Changge's answer was concise and clear, without any nonsense.

Chen Xiaohe felt comfortable after hearing this, like the feeling of having her obsessive-compulsive disorder satisfied.

"After listening to your explanation, Mr. Lu, I suddenly understand a lot more. Zhong Ye explained everything to me earlier, and I was confused about how we could be related. However, as for me, I definitely prioritize student safety and parent satisfaction. I'm a bit blunt, so don't mind me. Mr. Lu, you're a newly opened swimming pool. This is probably the first time you've held an event like this?"

Lu Changge's expression remained unchanged. "It's newly opened, but our venue and equipment are the best in Jiangzhou. If Principal Chen has any concerns, you can go and take a look. After you see it, I guarantee that you will also believe that parents will be satisfied with our swimming pool.

As for organizing the event, I've considered that Principal Chen will definitely have certain requirements in this regard. He's able to run such a large school so well, facing the most discerning parents. So, I can't brag in front of you. We can let you know the dynamics of the event throughout, and you can always raise any comments.

The fact that he could come here today meant that Chen Xiaohe had already agreed halfway. Combined with his previous understanding of her character, he did not choose to just brag, but still had to tell some truth, even if the truth was not in his favor, but people like Chen Xiaohe would think that you are honest.

Lu Changge observed her briefly and found that she was indeed smiling. "Mr. Lu, I have to say that you have a calmness and courage that transcends your age."

"I also admire Principal Chen. It's a pity that my business is still small. If I were lucky enough to have a big business, I would definitely come to Jiangzhou Foreign Language School to invite you over."

This sentence sounds like a compliment that is said casually and politely.

But in reality, he certainly had a purpose.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaohe paused for a few seconds. She couldn't control her expression completely and even felt a little guilty: Could it be that this person knew my background?

Lu Changge captured this detail very vividly.

Now this is interesting,

Not only did he want to borrow the name and reputation of Jiangzhou Foreign Language School, but he also had the idea of poaching the principal!

At most it was a little late, but this matter had already left a mark in his mind.

In the final analysis, it is still the same saying that talent is hard to find.

After all this time, who is next to him?
And it’s not that he doesn’t want to recruit him. He’s a seriously awesome person. Who the hell would give up a million-dollar annual salary to play this kind of game with you?

Across from him, Chen Xiaohe was stunned for a moment before she put on a disguising smile and joked, "Then I'll just wait for Mr. Lu's business to grow."

"Of course, of course. Then, Principal Chen, I wish us a happy cooperation." "Okay. I have one more thing to say: it's a pleasure to meet Mr. Lu."

Lu Changge smiled without saying anything. Of course you are happy. I guess just thinking about getting rid of this school is enough to make you happy.

"By the way, Principal Chen, I'd like to discuss with you about the timeframe. Can this event be held in May or June?"

He had originally thought this was a difficult point, so he specifically brought it up. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaohe nodded directly, "Mid-June?"

"can."

Before leaving, Lu Changge invited Chen Xiaohe out for dinner so that they could get to know each other better. However, as he expected, Chen Xiaohe declined.

For this kind of thing, people may not accept the invitation, but as for him, he cannot help but talk about it.

It's just a matter of moving your mouth, it's not a big deal.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Changge and Chen Xiaohe left each other their phone numbers and came out.

Zhong Ye and Gong Chunxue were together. When they saw Lu Changge, they came over to greet him.

"How is it?" Gong Chunxue asked.

Lu Changge sighed, "Communication like this... really doesn't work."

"Huh?" Gong Chunxue's heart sank, and she glared at Zhong Ye angrily, "Brother-in-law! Didn't you say it was okay?! What's going on?!"

Zhong Ye also panicked, and his little orchid finger was about to burst. He said tremblingly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go see what's going on."

"Haha." Lu Changge laughed heartily, "I was just kidding. Your principal Chen is quite easy to talk to."

This……

Zhong Ye and Gong Chunxue's mouths opened into an O shape, especially Gong Chunxue. She always thought Lu Changge was a very well-behaved person, but she didn't expect that he had such a naughty side.

Zhong Ye was a little speechless. He showed his petty little woman's energy and said, "Mr. Lu, your joke is not funny at all."

"Sorry, I just did this on a whim, haha."

Zhong Ye rolled his eyes and said, "If this doesn't work out, her sister will nag me for a week when I get home."

"Not much more to say, Principal Zhong, thank you for this. When you're free, let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Zhong Ye did not directly refuse this.

This shows the difference between him and Chen Xiaohe.

All in all, it went pretty smoothly.

Chen Xiaohe's pragmatic style will also be beneficial for the subsequent coordination of specific work. At least Zuo Shuya will be very happy.

After leaving the campus, he did not tell Gong Chunxue much about the details, but just asked her to do one more thing.

"If it's convenient, please help me learn more about Chen Xiaohe."

Gong Chunxue was slightly startled, then nodded blankly, "Okay."
