Hong Kong Entertainment 1979: A Beating Up the Manager at the Start

Chapter 165 Secretary to Do the Work?

Li Zhi got up very early today because it was her first day at Time Pictures and she wanted to make a good impression on her boss.

She felt quite inferior during her interview yesterday. She looked at the other three selected candidates, all dressed to the nines, and they all seemed much better than her.

Therefore, she never expected that she would ultimately pass the interview.

When Li Zhi was onboarding yesterday, he learned from Pan Yingzi that he had been personally selected by the boss.

This made her a little uneasy, but fortunately, Mr. Pan told her that the boss was easy to get along with, which put her at ease.

I waited at the bus stop for about ten minutes before the bus finally arrived.

Seeing the crowded bus, Riji gritted his teeth and squeezed on as well.

By the time they arrived at the company, it was already eight o'clock. Li Zhi bought breakfast and hurried upstairs.

This breakfast wasn't bought for her, it was bought for the boss!

After swiping his card to enter the company, Li Zhi went straight to the general manager's office.

She set out the breakfast first, and then began cleaning.

After finishing the cleaning at 8:30, Li Zhi sat in his office, which was separated from the general manager's office by only one wall, and quietly waited for his boss to summon him.

Li Jiangbo always arrives at work right on time.

He never bought breakfast, since Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi would buy it for him. At the very least, Shi Nansheng would occasionally bring him some.

But both of them took the day off today, and Shi Nansheng went to collect debts. Who in the company would bring him breakfast?

When he got upstairs and reached the office door, he realized that he had forgotten to buy breakfast.

Li Jiangbo shook his head, thinking to himself, "Never mind, I'll just ask my secretary to buy it for me later."

When he opened the office door, he saw four steamed buns and a cup of porridge sitting quietly on his desk.

He was a little stunned. Could it be that Shi Nansheng had returned early?

Without giving it much thought, Li Jiangbo picked up the steamed buns and ate his breakfast while reading the newspaper.

Last night's simulation confirmed that Qiu Degen will not be playing anytime soon, so he no longer feels any urgency.

The factory won't be completed until next year at the earliest, but there's been no good news from Zhao Dong yet. He plans to make a call later to ask.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

The voice sounded somewhat familiar to Lizhi, but she didn't pay any attention and simply pushed the door open and went inside.

"Boss, I don't know what your taste is, so anything will do..."

'

She couldn't continue her sentence because she saw that the boss sitting in the office was none other than Mr. Li, the one who had bought furniture that day.

"Oh! You're here so early? Did you buy breakfast?"

Li Zhi nodded subconsciously, unsure of what to say.

Li Jiangbo held up the steamed bun in his hand. "Thank you for breakfast. How much?"

Li Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, "Boss, it's not worth much."

Li Jiangbo stuffed the last steamed bun into his mouth, then took out a HK$100 note from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhi.

"Take it! How can we let our employees waste their money!"

Li Zhi wanted to refuse, but was intimidated by Li Jiangbo's gaze and obediently accepted the money.

"That's more like it! By the way, what are my plans for today?"

Li Zhi snapped out of his daze. "We haven't received any notification yet."

Li Jiangbo slapped his forehead. "Oh dear! I forgot it's your first day on the job. When Ye Qianwen arrives, you can hand over the work to her and come over after that."

"Okay, boss," Riji replied, turning and leaving.

After Li Zhi left, Li Jiangbo smiled slightly. He thought to himself, "She's an interesting young girl!"

He picked up the phone and called the Friendly Trading Company; the call was answered quickly.

Li Jiangbo said in a deep voice, "Hello! This is Li Jiangbo."

"Hey, Bo-ge! Good news! Davidson and the CRA have given in!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangbo was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Really?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Dong's excited voice said, "It's true! The economy in Australia is in a severe recession lately, and investments are losing money hand over fist. And over in the CRA, commodity prices have plummeted."

"Good, good, good!" Li Jiangbo said "good" three times in a row, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have they made contact with us?"

"Not yet. However, I've heard from within their companies that the two companies are planning to hold a meeting today."

Li Jiangbo said "Oh, is that so? Okay, you can keep in touch normally, just call me if anything happens."

"Understood, Brother Bo. I'll be going to visit the two companies with Brian later."

After Li Jiangbo hung up the phone, he could no longer contain his excitement. He waved his right hand forcefully and shouted, "YES!"

! !

It was really tough!

In order to avoid the big players in Hong Kong who were driving up prices, he did not hesitate to buy shares through a shell company.

The collaboration with Davidson and CRA in their performance significantly dragged down RTV's stock price. However, as long as they could acquire RTV, it was all worth it!

Just as Li Jiangbo was getting excited, Ye Qianwen and Li Zhi pushed open the door and walked in.

"Brother Bo, I've handed over the duties to Lizhi!"

Li Jiangbo didn't care whether the two knocked or not. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay! Ah Wen, you should study Cantonese and practice singing. When you feel you're ready, you can record an album."

Ye Qianwen nodded. "Brother Bo, can I still learn Cantonese from you?"

"Of course. By the way, Lizhi, your Cantonese isn't very good either. Why don't you learn Cantonese with Awen from now on?"

Li Zhi nodded. "I understand, boss. I will work hard."

"Hmm! You also need to study English. Luckily, Awen's English is quite good. You should spend more time with her. Okay, go downstairs."

Bar."

Li Zhi nodded without saying a word. He turned and closed the door.

After Li Zhi left, Ye Qianwen threw herself into Li Jiangbo's arms and gave him a long French kiss.

After a long time, the two finally relented.

Ye Qianwen asked with a smile, "Brother Bo, why did you choose a girl from mainland China as your secretary? Look how unfashionable she is dressed, and she doesn't even know how to do makeup."

Li Jiangbo slapped her plump buttocks hard. "Don't mock mainlanders! You need to know that the mainland is our root, while we are always outsiders in front of foreigners."

Ye Qianwen cried out, rubbed her sore bottom, and nodded, "Okay."

"Well, you can teach her how to dress up, and maybe even learn some Mandarin from her."

Ye Qianwen nodded without saying anything, but her hand wandered downwards.

Li Jiangbo noticed the unusual situation beneath him, but ignored the thieving cat and continued to open the documents.

However, he had to admit that Ye Qianwen was a good secretary. After all, apart from not being able to do the "the secretary does the work" part, she did the latter part very thoroughly.

As for Li Zhi, that depends on the situation. Perhaps Li Jiangbo will have his secretary do all the work, and nothing else...

Zhao Dong's information was correct. Within three days, both companies began to contact the Friendly Trading Company.

At this point, Li Jiangbo was no longer in a hurry. His reason for doing this was simply to try and lower the price.

But those two companies weren't going to be trifled with either; they immediately started contacting Qiu Degen, who had been gathering information beforehand.

Li Jiangbo wasn't worried at all, because the system simulation showed that Qiu Degen didn't have that much capital to acquire 63.5% of the shares.

However, he still asked Zhao Dong and Brian to make contact, hoping to settle things sooner rather than later.

He's been planning this for almost a year; he doesn't want to end up doing all the work for someone else.

If that's the case, then Li Jiangbo is going to curse.
