I changed the world.

Similar to Jiang Ran, he and several company vice presidents do own more than 20% of the company's shares and options. However, Qianluo Group holds more than 51% of the shares through various channels, making it the true major shareholder. It's just that under normal circumstances, Qianluo does not interfere with the company's operations.

More than half of the company's daily business is also data-related to internal group companies, not to mention the preferential conditions and resources obtained by relying on the group's resources...

Therefore, Jiang Ran knew that he had to speak up.

"This Qian Ju is an outstanding worker, I've heard about him before. Not long ago, Vice President Zhou mentioned to me that there's a very good intern in the data business department who's worth training..." Jiang Ran smiled, glancing at Vice President Zhou beside him, the meaning clear: I'm about to run out of things to say, you'd better take over...

"Mr. Jiang is right. Actually, the work pressure in our data business department is high, but it also trains people. This Qian Ju is one of the interns in this batch. As the person in charge, I have been observing him closely. He has strong business skills, and his attitude is particularly commendable. This morning when I was checking, I noticed that while some colleagues were still eating breakfast and getting water, he was already in work mode." Vice President Zhou coughed lightly, bracing himself to continue, and then said after organizing his thoughts, "We advocate that those who strive are always on the road. For employees who are willing to strive, we will give them some responsibilities, but that is also a test and training for them. This is also part of our cadre promotion and selection mechanism."

At this point, Qian Ju was somewhat confused. So... it wasn't what I thought? So the company leaders were actually watching from behind the scenes, just trying to give me more responsibility?

Something feels... off...

For a young man from a small county town who has not yet graduated from university and has limited social experience, these complex workplace relationships can sometimes make him feel somewhat lost.

"So that's how it is..." An Huiling gently closed her head and said indifferently, without expressing any comment.

Chapter 612 Zhang Jing, the "Miserable Male Lead"

Then, An Huiling turned to look at Qian Ju again, her smile obvious: "Aju, I still have a few more places to visit, so I won't stay here any longer. You can focus on your work." With that, she stood up.

Upon hearing this, Qian Ju quickly stood up: "Ah, Sister Huiling, you're busy, you're busy..."

Hearing the obviously familiar address of "Sister Huiling," Vice President Zhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his face again...

"Well then, goodbye," An Huiling waved to Qian Ju.

In the blink of an eye, a large group of people rushed away again. Qian Ju stood there until An Huiling disappeared around the corner of the office area before sitting down again. Then, he was somewhat surprised to find a corner of a card peeking out from under his laptop.

Curious, I pulled it out and saw that it was an extremely simple business card. The front of the card had the three characters "An Huiling" in a rather stylish design, while the back had a Thousand Number and a mobile phone number.

He immediately realized that Sister Huiling had left it there sometime during the day, implying that he should remember it. So he quickly took out his phone and added An Huiling's Qianluo account...

Looking up, I suddenly sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the office. Looking around, I noticed many colleagues were staring at me strangely, and some were whispering among themselves. But when I looked back, they all lowered their heads, as if nothing had happened.

Looking down at his computer again, Qian Ju noticed a flashing avatar in the lower right corner. Clicking on it, he saw a message from his senior, Jiang Ruotong.

"Zi'an, what just happened?!"

Jiang Ruotong followed her question with a series of exaggerated expressions, showing that she was quite excited and anxious at the moment.

"Uh... I don't know either..."

"You bastard, how could you not know? Anyone could see that you two have a very good relationship!"

"Tell me quickly! How did you come to know that young lady?!"

"Are you hiding something from me? o(—︿—+)o"

Qian Ju couldn't help but scratch his head, thinking that he couldn't let his senior sister misunderstand anything, so he quickly explained, "Sister Huiling is my cousin's friend. I met her once when I came to my cousin's house for dinner before."

Out of caution, he didn't write down his "girlfriend," since there was no proof, and his cousin hadn't admitted it that day. Although, even someone as clueless about relationships as him could tell that Huiling and his cousin were more than just ordinary friends…

It shouldn't... count, right?

"Cousin? Oh my god...who is your cousin?"

“He’s not that special… My cousin comes from a pretty ordinary family…” Qian Ju thought for a moment. In his mind, his cousin was still the one who used to take him to catch crickets in the fields when they were little…

Of course, when I visited my cousin last time, I saw that he had bought a big house. Although I was quite envious, that was all I felt. I even thought that when I made money in the future, I could also buy a house just as big, and then I could bring my parents to live in Linzhou...

"Do you know who that was just now?" Jiang Ruotong asked again, seemingly sensing Qian Ju's slow response.

"You mean Sister Huiling? I don't know... You don't know either?" Qian Ju replied with a somewhat silly gorilla scratching its head emoji.

"I just found out! She's Chairman An's only daughter!!"

"You said Sister Huiling is Chairman An's... wait, which Chairman An?"

"Of course it's Chairman An Zhengquan, the chairman of the board of directors of Qianluo Group, and his only daughter, that mysterious eldest daughter of the An family!"

Qian Ju was also shocked upon hearing this. To be honest, he hadn't expected An Huiling's identity to be so extraordinary...

It must be said here that compared to the new China that Zhang Jing experienced in his previous life through the New Democratic Revolution, the reforms in this world are gradual. In addition, due to the lack of the catalyst of two world wars, the crowns of various countries have not yet been laid to rest. This has resulted in many traditional habits based on personal dependence not being completely broken down, whether in the East or the West.

In the East, the modern corporate system of this world originates from the traditional Middle Eastern system of subordination between masters and employees. If a comparison must be made, it is somewhat similar to some large corporate groups in South Korea and Japan in Zhang Jing's previous life. Employees have an additional layer of subtle feelings towards the family that controls the group, which is somewhat similar to how they regard the patriarch.

"You mean...that's the young lady? Really? Where did you get this information?" Qian Ju was somewhat incredulous. To him, the department director was already a big shot with absolute authority, and as for the company's top leaders, they were simply figures on a pedestal, not someone a lowly employee like him could possibly get close to.

However, he also knew that, according to the group's structure, his company was not involved in the group's core business lines, but was a subsidiary incubated by the Research Institute.

Above the Research and Development Institute, there is a business group structure, and then the group's board of directors. As for Chairman An of the board of directors, in his opinion, he is no different from a god, the kind who lives in the clouds.

His only interaction with the company was occasionally seeing that name in the news or in some internal documents issued by the group, nothing more...

"Of course it's true. I just secretly asked Shu Xin from HR; we're quite close. She said all the big shots from the Research Institute were waiting at the main gate early this morning! It means Miss is coming to visit and inspect!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ju's first reaction was whether his cousin knew about this matter...

He had already woven a tragic love story in his mind about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who were then separated by force, and he couldn't help but worry about his cousin...

"I really didn't know she was a young lady... I'll call my cousin later and ask him about it..."

"Hmm, ask your cousin!"

"Zi'an, your luck is about to change! Let's see who dares to mess with you now!!!" Jiang Ruotong sent a hands-on-hips emoji.

While chatting with Jiang Ruotong, Qian Ju noticed another profile picture popping up in the bottom right corner of the screen. Clicking on it, he saw it was Zhou Tao.

"Zi'an, are you busy?"

"Brother Jingshan, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, it's like this. I just finished my work, and I was thinking, you haven't finished that data from yesterday yet, have you? Let me do it. You've had a long day, you must be tired."

Qian Ju was taken aback, thinking, "Could it be that the sun has risen in the west? Zhou Tao, this non-stick pan, actually has the initiative to share the work?"

He subconsciously looked up in Zhou Tao's direction, only to see Zhou Tao looking at him with a big, beaming smile, even with a hint of ingratiation.

Chapter 613 The Phone Call to My Cousin

In the past, Qian Ju had never seen Zhou Tao show such a smile to him. In his memory, Zhou Tao would only show such an almost fawning expression when facing Director Wu Zhaoyu.

After a moment of hesitation, Qian Ju seemed to realize something and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he rejected Zhou Tao's suggestion. It wasn't for any other reason, but simply because he wanted to finish the data report from beginning to end. After all, the project only needed some modifications and adjustments.

His refusal clearly disappointed Zhou Tao, who then seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Qian Ju naturally didn't care what Zhou Tao thought. He chatted casually with Jiang Ruotong while continuing to revise his data reports. However, not long after, someone came to his desk. He turned his head and saw a female employee in his department named Ou Ting. She usually didn't talk to him, an intern, and wouldn't greet him even if she saw him. But now she had a smile on her face and was holding a bag of milk tea, which she placed on Qian Ju's desk.

"Zi'an, I thought everyone must be tired, so I bought milk tea for you all. Here, this one is for you."

"Ah, thank you!" Qian Ju took the milk tea and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Ou Ting exchanged a few more words with him, and then took the other milk teas to her workstation, calling on the other people in her department to come and get them.

Qian Ju inserted the straw, took a couple of sips, and immediately noticed something was off. Colleagues in his department occasionally treated him to milk tea, but they always bought the basic kind. This one, however, was clearly not the basic green tea flavor; it contained a large amount of fruit pulp, and different varieties at that. Even though he had never tried those high-end milk teas before, he knew this one wouldn't be cheap. He thought for a moment, then opened his phone and searched for the chain milk tea brand downstairs that his colleagues usually ordered from. A quick search revealed the corresponding drink – the "Super Fruit Cup," which cost twice as much as the basic version.

Could it be that Ou Ting had a major hemorrhage today? He subconsciously glanced at his other colleagues and noticed that they were mostly still drinking the basic version...

"Is this Qian Zi'an?" Before he could continue typing for long, the voice came again.

Looking up again, he saw a young woman who looked somewhat familiar. She was dressed quite fashionably. He vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a leader in the company. He had seen her following behind Vice President Zhou before, but they had no work-related interactions and he did not know her name.

"I'm……"

The woman, perhaps noticing his confusion, smiled and said, "My name is Wang Shuyuan, and I'm President Zhou's assistant."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ju quickly stood up: "Hello, Assistant Wang, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's like this, Mr. Zhou would like you to come to his office for a moment." This Assistant Wang was very polite and patient, and even used the word "please" in a special way.

Qian Ju then got up and followed Assistant Wang to President Zhou's office...

"Haha, it's Zian! Come, have a seat..." As soon as he entered President Zhou's office, he saw President Zhou get up from his seat and personally bring him a chair with a warm smile...

After delivering the tea, Wang Shuyuan left. President Zhou then invited Qian Ju to sit on the sofa in his office and personally made him tea.

........................

Half an hour later, when Qian Ju came out of President Zhou's office in a daze, he felt somewhat bewildered and flattered.

I originally thought that General Manager Zhou had some work to give me, but I didn't expect that after chatting for half an hour, this vice president of the company in charge did not talk about work at all. Instead, he was extremely approachable and asked me in a caring manner whether I was getting used to the company, what my views were on the company and department, and whether I got along well with my colleagues... and so on.

She even half-jokingly and half-heartedly confessed to him that she was too busy with her daily work and had not been able to find time to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, her "new colleague".

In particular, after learning that Qian Ju's hometown was in Jingshan County, Jiangdong Province, this deputy general manager, who claimed to be from Jingchuan County, Jiangdong, insisted on claiming to be from the same hometown as Qian Ju. However, as far as Qian Ju knew, Jingchuan was at least a thousand kilometers away from Jingshan, and the two places were not adjacent at all. Of course, it wouldn't be wrong to say that they were both from Jiangdong Province...

Finally, for some reason, this Mr. Zhou insisted that Qian Ju call him "Brother Zhou," while he called Qian Ju "Little Brother," completely disregarding the fact that the two were more than twenty years apart in age...

Because the atmosphere was so pleasant, Qian Ju unconsciously revealed why Director Wu Zhaoyu had been suppressing him. Upon hearing this, "Brother Zhou" showed no intention of explaining for Wu Zhaoyu, but simply patted his chest and said he would stand up for Qian Ju and take care of the matter...

Overall, Qian Ju was seen out of the vice president's office with a smile on his face. However, even long after he left, he still couldn't figure out why Vice President Zhou had invited him there.

It seems like they were just having casual conversation?

After thinking for a moment, he found a quiet place and dialed his cousin Zhang Jing's number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Zhang Jing's cheerful voice came from the other end: "Oh, it's A-Ju. What made you think of calling me?"

"Hey bro, I need to tell you something."

"Well, you said."

“I’m currently an intern at Hongtu Data Technology, a subsidiary of Qianluo Group’s Southeast Research Institute. Today, a high-ranking leader came to inspect our place, and then… do you know who I met?” Qian Ju said, lowering his voice unconsciously.
