Chapter 401 You must suffer a loss
Chapter 401 You must suffer a loss
A man is a man who can bend and stretch.
Star Technology currently has the potential to grow into a giant, which is simply not comparable to Su Muqing.
No wonder Xu Mingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people. In his eyes, they were not even clowns. It would be good enough if they could smile and nod at him when they met occasionally.
Although Su Muqing is a young girl, she can recognize the reality clearly.
"Mingyuan, I was wrong. Can you please stop putting pressure on me?"
Su Muqing spread her hands and tried her best to appear sincere.
"Brother, what did she do wrong?" Yang Zhi asked quietly.
"How should I know?" Xu Mingyuan tapped Xiao Yangzhi's head and continued to say to Su Muqing: "What's wrong with you?"
"I was wrong in everything." Su Muqing said helplessly.
"You can't even tell me where you went wrong. It's obvious that you haven't realized your mistake yet." Xu Mingyuan continued her words.
"I..." Su Muqing stood there awkwardly, looking frustrated and disappointed, and said very cooperatively: "You said I was wrong, and that's where I was wrong."
"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"I shouldn't have called you boss."
If we continue to discuss this topic, there will be no end to it, Su Muqing had to cover her forehead and said.
"Just scream if you want to, what's the matter?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Brother Mingyuan, can we not talk about this for now?"
Su Muqing felt a headache and wanted to skip this topic.
"Hey! You are so old now, stop calling me brother. You are already old. Only Xiao Yangzhi can call me brother. Stop trying to build a relationship with me." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Brother, what about Sister Tao Tao calling you brother?"
Yang Zhi whispered into Xu Mingyuan's ear.
"Tsk, she was just joking, unlike you." Xu Mingyuan pinched her face and said.
This little girl is becoming more and more susceptible to eye drops.
As soon as I get a chance, I will test Xu Mingyuan's attitude.
It’s not that Xiao Yangzhi is worried that Xu Mingyuan will fall in love with someone else, she just simply wants to hear him say something nice.
It seems that even the well-behaved little Yang Zhi can't avoid some of the nature of a little girl, and often can't control the little agitation in her heart.
But this is good. Xu Mingyuan is a worldly man. If Xiao Yangzhi really becomes an out-of-touch person, he will have a headache.
Su Muqing who was standing by was watching this scene with a sour look on her face. She didn't expect that Xu Mingyuan was actually a sister-con.
We are both girls, and you are so nice to your sister and Taotao, so why can't you treat me with courtesy?
Am I really that old?
Su Muqing's mentality was a little broken. She knew in her heart that Xu Mingyuan had delayed his conversation with his sister because of her, so she simply kept silent and just stood aside like a invisible person.
Su Muqing knew Xu Mingyuan very well. He liked to joke, but some things were said in jokes. If she didn't understand it this time, he wouldn't mention it again next time.
For example, when Xu Mingyuan said that he was not even a contract worker, Su Muqing immediately understood what he meant. At present, she was just a collaborator invited to cooperate with publicity and had nothing to do with Star Technology.
Signing the contract is awesome. He really isn't afraid that I will quit...
In fact, Su Muqing was also worried that she would annoy Xu Mingyuan again one day, and then he would notify the company's front desk and not let her wander around the company headquarters anymore.
Su Muqing usually came to Star Technology under the pretext of work tasks, mainly with the idea of learning.
Her family's clothing factory is a traditional industry, and it can survive by relying on the small port in Jiangcheng, but its scale has long since reached its limit. The current competitive pressure is very high, and sales are still in a slow decline.
Every extra day she could stay here meant another opportunity to learn and understand Star Technology, which was extremely important to her. If she could learn something, perhaps she could improve the operating conditions of her family's clothing factory.
Another thing that made Su Muqing happy was that Xu Mingyuan said that she could call him boss, which meant that he didn't mind her trying to establish a relationship with him.
There are little mysteries hidden in Xu Mingyuan's words. As long as we grasp them, the next things will be much easier.
I couldn't hide his plan from me.
Su Muqing, who thought she was smart, unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing her excited look, Xu Mingyuan didn't understand why Su Muqing was so proud.
Could it be that she guessed that I was just having a bad taste?
But it doesn’t look like that. I can’t see any trace of acting on her face.
Could it be that Su Muqing, this proud woman, pretends to be superior, but is actually hiding her masochistic tendencies in her heart?
Damn, this woman is a little scary.
Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but shudder and ignored Su Muqing.
Star Technology currently has two canteens, one is for free meals for general workers, and the other is the internal restaurant at the company headquarters, which requires payment, but is subsidized and much cheaper than outside the factory.
During the rapid expansion phase of Star Technology, the average wages of all employees were generally low, except for the general workers on the front line.
Although employees receive dividends and shares, everything comes down to money. This kind of invisible and intangible pie is just a carrot dangling in front of a donkey.
The work pressure at Star Technology is so great that if the welfare benefits are not improved, technical personnel and capable management may become dissatisfied and quit their jobs.
After all, the money needed to improve the working environment is far more than the fixed monthly employee salaries. Spending a little money to improve employee happiness is also an indispensable management skill.
The current problem facing Xu Mingyuan is still insufficient funds.
After deducting necessary expenses and interest payments every month, the remaining money is all used to expand the scale.
In fact, when the company becomes bigger and stronger, sooner or later state-owned capital will come in to raise funds. After all, from the day the company was established, even if Xu Mingyuan was the sole proprietor, the company no longer belonged to his personal property.
Xu Mingyuan doesn't mind receiving financing. A large amount of money coming in can alleviate the current problem of insufficient funds and can also be supported by better policies.
But lack of money is not the most urgent problem. What Xu Mingyuan needs more is technical support. If he relies solely on Star Technology to do technological research and development, the amount of money required will be astronomical.
At present, what Xu Mingyuan has to do is to wait for the right price, and when Starry Sky Technology grows to a point worthy of attention, he will take the initiative to invite state-owned capital to come in for financing. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan did not cook for himself, but instead took Xiao Yangzhi to eat in the employee cafeteria, Su Muqing admired him from the bottom of her heart.
Because Xu Mingyuan really wasn't pretending. Seeing him greet the canteen staff skillfully, and everyone looking like they were used to it, it was clear that he came here often.
In fact, in the entire company, only Xu Mingyuan's father Xu Jun can have a special meal. Executives eating with employees is a way to get closer to employees. The executives are not here today, they are just dealing with visiting guests.
Xu Mingyuan also couldn't understand why Su Muqing looked at him with such admiration in her eyes.
Could it be that he felt good about being scolded just now?
But seeing the once arrogant Su Muqing now showing such an attitude towards others, Xu Mingyuan must have been secretly happy.
"Mingyuan, can you give me an employee card? I want to eat in the cafeteria."
After sitting down together, Su Muqing said with a smile.
"You haven't yet?"
Xu Mingyuan didn't even raise his head, but just picked up a piece of braised pork for Xiao Yangzhi.
Yang Zhi looked at the trembling braised pork and couldn't help feeling a headache, but after being urged by Xu Mingyuan, she had to put it in her mouth.
"No, I'm not a formal employee." Su Muqing replied.
She signed a cooperation agreement with the company. Star Technology's internal rules and regulations are very strict and rigid, and Su Muqing has no way to apply for an employee badge.
"Do you want to get a job?"
Xu Mingyuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Su Muqing was so humble for this reason.
"Yes." Su Muqing said.
"Why? Do you want to work at Star Technology? You are so career-oriented, you don't seem like an employee who can calm down and work." Xu Mingyuan said.
"I haven't had much to do lately, so I want to come and learn. We'll talk about the future later."
Su Muqing didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
"I don't have any suitable job for you. If I ask you to go to the production line, what will you do?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Mingyuan." Su Muqing rested her chin on his hand and looked at him hopefully. She blinked and said, "We are so familiar with each other. You should be able to see that, right? I am very capable, okay?"
"You're really good at selling melons." Xu Mingyuan said with a sneer.
"What does this mean?" Su Muqing asked curiously.
"Are you bragging about yourself? Didn't your teacher teach you some two-part allegorical sayings? You think you're a top student?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"My last name is not Wang..." Su Muqing had a headache, and she covered her forehead and said, "Is your company short of manpower? I don't need a salary, but I can work for free, right?"
"You don't want a salary? Is that true? Is there such a good thing in the world?"
Xu Mingyuan can now hire more people if he can save some money. He would love to have someone work for free, especially someone as capable as Su Muqing.
"How much can you offer me? I don't need a few thousand dollars, so I'll just work for free."
Xu Mingyuan is not short of money, but he attaches so much importance to interests. Su Muqing is sometimes really helpless towards this unpredictable person.
"Is that so? Then I can't let you be an ordinary employee. I have to think about this carefully." Xu Mingyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "Let you go to the administrative department? It's a waste of your talent. Hiss... How about letting you go to the Nanxi branch to be the person in charge? This is not bad, but you don't understand much..."
"If you don't understand, you can learn. I promise nothing will go wrong."
Hearing that Xu Mingyuan offered higher and higher positions, Su Muqing's eyes became brighter and brighter. Fearing that he would go back on his word, she quickly interrupted him and agreed.
Xu Mingyuan was interrupted and said unhappily, "How about this, the company's R&D department will be put into use in the second half of the year and will cooperate with the engineering department of Jiangda. You will be responsible for communicating with the school."
"what?"
Xu Mingyuan, can you be a human being?
Su Muqing was stunned. She didn't expect that even after she graduated, she would still be responsible for helping him recruit people.
"What? This task is very important. I entrust it to you because I trust you," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Then don't trust me. I don't want to be assigned abroad. I want to stay in the company and study." Su Muqing said speechlessly.
"What are you going to learn? What if you learn all the policies and strategies of my company? Are you going or not? Anyway, our contract is about to end, and your promotional video has been filmed. As soon as you step out of the company's door today, I will tell the security guard at the door not to let you in anymore," said Xu Mingyuan.
"I……"
Su Muqing's face turned red with embarrassment. She was so sincere, but she didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to treat her like this.
This made Su Muqing feel like she was really being fed to a dog.
"Hey, I'm just kidding. Don't be angry. This matter is indeed very important to the development of the company. I ask you to be responsible for communication in this regard. I really can't find any available candidate. Can you help me? It's very easy. You are very familiar with this area and it's not difficult to do." Xu Mingyuan said.
Su Muqing is very suitable for communicating with the school. First, she is a student of Jiangnan University, and second, she knows many Jiangnan University alumni and school leaders. After Xu Mingyuan's consideration, she is indeed the most suitable candidate.
Su Muqing didn't think about it for too long, but said calmly: "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing."
"As long as the request is not too excessive, it's fine." Xu Mingyuan said.
"It's just a small matter for you and it's not difficult to handle. When you organize a small meeting, can you let me sit in? I promise you that I will never spread it to others." Su Muqing said seriously.
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just this? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xu Mingyuan said indifferently.
"I've said this before, but you didn't agree." Su Muqing said with a sigh.
"If you say it a few more times, maybe I will agree." Xu Mingyuan said lightly.
"..."
Su Muqing didn't want to pay any attention to anyone and started to eat.
Yang Zhi, who was sitting aside watching the fun, curled her lips and picked up a piece of fish meat with the bones removed for Xu Mingyuan.
How could you possibly be petty with someone as smart as your brother?
You're at a disadvantage now, hehe...
