Chapter 409 Power is a man's best coat
August 2023, 8, Saturday, rain, 26~19℃.
After the Beginning of Autumn, the heat ends and every autumn rain brings a chill.
The air was filled with the smell of moist earth.
The drizzle fell quietly like cow hair, silently casting a layer of gauze on the ground.
7 o'clock in the morning.
"Ding-dong-dong——" the alarm clock kept ringing in the small room.
A white and soft arm stretched out from the quilt, grabbed around for a while, and finally grabbed the phone.
Xu Qing opened her eyes dazedly and turned off the alarm clock.
He turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Fortunately, she had foresight, and ten minutes later, the second alarm rang as expected.
Xu Qing twisted her body, muttered to herself for a while, and reluctantly sat up from the bed.
As the quilt slid off my body, cool air hit me.
Xu Qing became much more sober instantly.
I got up from bed yawning, went to the bathroom, and changed into an autumn sports outfit.
I went to the living room, exercised on the elliptical machine for a while, and looked at the rain outside the balcony.
Xu Qing's dark eyes rolled around and she opened Tang Song's WeChat chat box.
The message read: "It's so cold today, but I'm used to getting up early for morning exercises, so I've started my daily fitness routine."
Then she posed again and took a selfie to share with him.
After sending the photo, Xu Qing couldn't help but smile.
Let you, little Songzi, say that I am fat! I, Xu Qing, work very hard! I have lost 0.5 kg now! Sooner or later, I will drop below 100 catties!
Since the Chinese Valentine's Day, Tang Song said he wanted to go to Lanfeng International to take private photos for her.
Xu Qing began her "arduous" journey to lose weight.
I exercise for more than half an hour every day, and only drink 3 points of sugar in milk tea!
I took a quick shower after the exercise.
With wet hair hanging on her white shoulders, Xu Qing lay on the bed wrapped in a bath towel and reached out to touch the platinum treasure chest next to the pillow.
This was the Chinese Valentine’s Day gift Tang Song gave her.
The contents were worth nearly 15 yuan, making it the most expensive gift she had ever received.
Now if I don’t take a few glances at it at night, I can’t sleep well.
"Ding Dong——" the cell phone rang.
【Tang Song: "As far as I know, you used to stay up late to write novels and never exercised in the morning, so you are getting fatter and fatter."】
Saw his message.
Xu Qing's eyes widened instantly, and she replied angrily: "This is slander! At least I will exercise at the company at noon!"
[Tang Song: "It's not like I haven't touched you before. You have quite a lot of flesh on your legs. You definitely lack exercise."]
"Ah!" Xu Qing cried out softly, pouting her lips high.
Damn Xiao Songzi! You said you touched me! How dare you despise me?!
Chilling!
"Buzzing—"
[Tang Song: "But it feels good, I don't mind."]
Xu Qing's face instantly turned red, and she replied with an emoticon of angrily slamming the table.
The two of them fought with emoticons for a while.
[Tang Song: "I've been very busy these past few days, and I have a meeting this weekend. Let's wait until next week. The presidential suite at Lanfeng International, would you like to make an appointment?"]
Looking at the huge words "Let's make an appointment?", Xu Qing was so scared that she couldn't hold the phone properly and it fell directly onto the bed.
My face is red and hot.
What? It's just a photo shoot, why is it like a one night stand?
But then I noticed the key words "presidential suite".
Although she had never been there, she had seen it many times on Douyin. It was extremely luxurious and comfortable, with an area of more than 700 square meters and a price of to yuan per night.
This... this... this...
Xu Qing bit her lip and typed tremblingly: "Let me make it clear first, it's just taking pictures."
[Tang Song: "Well, remember to bring a few more cosplay costumes, like NieR 2B, Xiao Daji, maid costumes... I want them all."]
Damn you, Xiao Songzi! Do you think this is a dress-up game?
hateful! hateful! hateful!
(〃＞ dishes＜)
At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Shen Yuyan's tired voice sounded: "Qingqing."
Xu Qing was startled and quickly put away her phone and took a few deep breaths.
Turning around, he said, "Yanyan, you finally got up. How are you? Do you feel better?"
Last night, Shen Yuyan went to meet a client and was forced to drink a lot of white wine. After he came back, he vomited several times and slept until now.
Shen Yuyan yawned and scratched his messy hair.
She went forward and hugged her bestie, and said coquettishly, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I just went to the toilet and I haven't slept enough. Can you help me cook some millet porridge?"
"Okay, no problem." Xu Qing patted her back with some concern. "How was your talk with Zhishang Property yesterday? Is there any hope?"
"Haha, no chance. The vice president of the property management wants too much money and the rebate is also very high. We can't afford it."
Xu Qing said with a sad face: "Why does it seem like your company is having such a hard time running? Didn't you raise funds?"
"Housekeeping companies are a huge market, and the competition is extremely fierce." Shen Yuyan simply lay down on Xu Qing's bed and rolled over in her quilt. "Of course, the main reason is that the traffic generation effect of Gongying Technology's App is not good, far below expectations.
In order to complete the performance tasks, we can only make up for it in other aspects.
Hurry up and cook some porridge, I have to meet another big client at noon."
Xu Qing widened her eyes and said, "You still want to go drink? You're crazy!"
"No need this time. Hou Shaoyuan contacted the manager of Yunxi Property through his parents and finally got a chance for an interview."
"Boss Hou is pretty awesome this time. Do you think the success rate is high?"
Shen Yuyan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I can only say that I will do my best. Yunxi Property is affiliated to the listed company Yunxi Real Estate, which has a mature housekeeping company cooperation. It is very, very difficult to grab a piece of meat from them."
"Is that so..." Xu Qing blinked and suddenly said, "By the way, Tang Song's company is in Yunxi Building. Do you think he can talk to the property manager?"
She was previously in charge of the legal business outsourcing of Songmei Clothing and had been to Yunxi Building several times.
"Uh..." Shen Yuyan was stunned, and said hesitantly: "This... shouldn't be a big connection. Yunxi Building has a lot of tenants and owners. It's impossible for them to give face to everyone. Besides, our company's matter involves actual interests, not just a matter of face."
"Is that so? All right then." Xu Qing rubbed her best friend's head helplessly, "I'm going to make some porridge. You can sleep a little longer."
The only connection Miss Xu Qing can show off is Tang Song.
If he can't do it, then there's really nothing we can do.
……
11 o'clock in the morning.
22nd floor of Lanfeng International Hotel, administrative office area.
The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
The employees sat upright, and occasionally someone passed by, walking very carefully.
Wang Linqing looked around and whispered, "Nana, our boss brought so many people with him this time, is he going to do something big?"
Yu Qiuna shook her head and typed on WeChat: "Don't say anything. It has nothing to do with us soldiers anyway. Just focus on your work."
Wang Linqing finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her message.
An hour ago, the company's major shareholder and executive director Tang Song suddenly came to the company with 7 or 8 people.
Then he took all the executives into the conference room and has not come out since.
It is said that among these people there are lawyers and headhunters from Dejurenhe.
Knowing their identities, the meaning becomes very clear.
There is a high probability that new appointments and dismissals will be made at the top level, and even candidates may have been brought in.
Mr. Tang is finally going to make his first big move as a new official.
As a luxury five-star hotel established for more than 8 years.
Although it is not particularly dark and corrupt, the internal interests are complicated and interconnected, and there are many parasites.
More serious ones include purchase rebates, supplier price increases, sales rebates…
The leaders are actually aware of these problems, but they are insiders and will not easily destroy this "harmonious and stable" ecological environment.
However, now that the company has been taken over by a new owner, the ecological environment is bound to change.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a piece of breaking news popped up in the group.
[General Manager-Qiao Anji: "After research and decision by the hotel management, personnel appointment and dismissal arrangements have been made for the position of Purchasing Manager. Mr. Wang Binlong, the former Purchasing Manager, has officially resigned from the position of Purchasing Manager due to personal career development planning and will retire on August 8...
From September 9, Mr. Zhao Zhuo will take over as the hotel's purchasing manager. Mr. Zhao Zhuo previously worked at..."】
"Buzz buzz buzz--" A heated discussion suddenly rang out in the office area.
As a company executive and the head of the purchasing department, Wang Binlong has great power in Lanfeng International and is a truly powerful executive.
His departure naturally had a huge impact.
Yu Qiuna, sitting at her workstation, had her eyes flickering and her heart beating violently.
Previously, Qiu Wenzhe from their department was taken care of everywhere because he was Wang Binlong's nephew, and even took away her clients.
At that time, Tang Song approached her privately to learn about the company's relationships.
She also took the opportunity to tell him some of the things she had heard about Wang Binlong.
However, she didn't expect that such a powerful executive would fall from power just because of her report.
Yu Qiuna felt both nervous and excited.
After all, I am Mr. Tang’s confidant, and I have a bright future ahead of me!
Before she could fully react, several personnel changes popped up in the group.
It involves six departments, including the supplier management group, marketing department, and recreation department.
And all those who were laid off have experienced replacements with impressive resumes.
They were really shocked by Mr. Tang's swift and decisive actions and his quick decision-making.
After a while.
The sound of dense footsteps came from the direction of the conference room.
The office area instantly fell into absolute silence.
Eyes of awe and trepidation were cast at the young man in a well-tailored suit who was leading the group.
There was a faint smile on his face, but he seemed to be shrouded in a solemn aura.
The office area where the marketing department is located.
Zhang Ziqi, who was sitting in the corner, looked at Tang Song who was walking by with a blushing face and a beating heart. She couldn't help but take out her cell phone and take a picture of him.
I sent it directly to my girlfriends group.
The comment read: "@Zhuangzhuang, our boss was so handsome today! He came to the company for an hour and changed 1 or 7 leaders in a row. The employees were all scared."
"Buzzing—"
[Zhuangzhuang: "Well, he is indeed very handsome. I have decided. I will sleep with him tonight!"]
【Zhuangzhuang: laughing.jpg】
Zhang Ziqi smacked her lips and replied sourly: "Why are you so dirty? You think about those dirty things every day."
【Hu Mingli: "@Zhuangzhuang, be quiet, be careful not to sprain your waist!"】
[Zhuangzhuang: "I'm not doing that. I just have been suffering from insomnia recently, and the doctor suggested that I lie on my eight-pack abs. Alas, you won't understand even if I tell you, after all, you don't have a boyfriend with eight-pack abs."]
After seeing this message, Zhang Ziqi's eyes turned green with envy.
Well! Zhuangzhuang, this lustful woman, is really blessed!
……
Office of the Executive Director.
The hotel's general manager, Qiao Anji, sat on the sofa and talked about plans for team building and management.
Tang Song flipped through the documents in his hands and nodded slightly from time to time.
The changes to Lanfeng International were not something he decided on a whim.
During these few days, he asked Qiao Anji to cooperate with Dejurenhe to conduct an in-depth investigation and understanding of the current situation of the hotel team through questionnaires, employee interviews, and management evaluations.
After analysis by a professional team, we identified the internal problems and advantages, and developed targeted construction and management strategies.
Dejurenhe played a huge role in this.
As the largest human resource service provider in the country, they have a very strong team and a rich talent pool, and can quickly make the best match.
This personnel change is just the beginning, and it is also his way of establishing his own authority.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the cell phone in my pocket vibrated.
Tang Song took it out and looked at it, his brows slightly raised.
[Zhuangzhuang: "Little brother, please take some time to come to my office this afternoon. I'm working overtime today and there are very few people in the company. I'm crying."]
Tang Song: "What's wrong? I'm busy at Lanfeng International today." [Zhuang Zhuang: "It's faded! It's faded! Your love for me has faded! You've started to be perfunctory!"]
【Zhuangzhuang: crying.jpg】
Tang Song replied helplessly: "Sister, can you please speak properly?"
【Zhuangzhuang: “Itchy.”】
【Zhuangzhuang: Selfie.jpg】
The photo was taken by Wenruan directly in the office.
The black base shirt was pulled down a lot, revealing the snow-white and deep cleavage, which, combined with the slightly opened mouth, was full of infinite temptation.
Tang Song quickly raised his phone back, glanced at it calmly, and replied, "It is my duty!"
Tickling your girlfriend’s itch is a serious matter, and work can be postponed appropriately, as it won’t take up too much time anyway.
Put away your phone.
Tang Song put the folder down and said calmly, "In addition to team management, the performance appraisal system also needs to be optimized.
You should cooperate with Mr. Wang of Dejurenhe to develop a new set of assessment standards, and increase the salary by 10%~20% compared to before.
The assessment results are directly linked to employees’ salary adjustments, bonus payments, promotion opportunities, etc., motivating employees to work hard and improve performance.”
"Okay, Mr. Tang! I understand!" Qiao Anqi instantly perked up.
Tang Song raised his hand to check the time and said, "Notify all senior executives that we will have lunch together at the Lanyue Chinese Restaurant at noon."
If you want to become a qualified business controller, you must use both kindness and strictness.
After establishing authority, you should also motivate employees and cultivate their loyalty.
With the improvement of wealth, quality, emotional intelligence and experience, Tang Song is also forming his own understanding of corporate management.
……
A white Audi A7 was driving on the main road in the city.
Raindrops slid down the car window, forming crisscrossing water marks, blurring the street view outside the window.
Hou Shaoyuan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, smiled and said, "We are almost there."
"Yeah." Shen Yuyan took a deep breath, took out a small mirror from her bag, and carefully adjusted her clothes.
Li Meixia next to her also started to feel nervous.
Since Shen Yuyan took over from Zhang Tianqi as general manager, she was promoted to vice president of the company, mainly responsible for housekeeping sales services.
The person I am about to meet is Ma Zijian, the manager of Yunxi Property.
She had visited the place many times on behalf of the company, but was never able to meet the real owner.
Originally, she and Shen Yuyan planned to shamelessly find Zhang Tianqi and make an appointment with him through his uncle's relationship.
Unexpectedly, Hou Shaoyuan helped them solve it quietly. It was a rare opportunity.
"Don't be nervous." Hou Shaoyuan tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, and said with a smile: "This time we contacted Mr. Ma through the relationship of Yunxi Real Estate Headquarters, which is very reliable."
"That's good." Li Meixia asked, "By the way, Shaoyuan, what's Mr. Ma's temper like?"
"pretty good."
Li Meixia patted her chest and said, "Oh, then I feel relieved. I've been scolded too much recently and I have psychological trauma. I will mainly rely on you when we meet later."
"Haha, don't worry." Hou Shaoyuan smiled guiltily.
Yunxi Property Management manages many real estate projects developed by Yunxi Real Estate. As the manager of the property company, Ma Zijian has a very high status.
He got in touch with the other party with great difficulty through his family connections, and today was the first time he met the other party.
I don't know anything about this Mr. Ma.
But he is a respectable man, and of course he cannot lose face in front of two girls, especially Shen Yuyan.
The car slowly drove into the underground garage of Lanfeng International Hotel.
The reason for choosing Lanfeng International is that it is also a related industry under Yunxi Real Estate.
The three got out of the car and took the elevator directly to the 3rd floor.
After sitting down in the reserved private room of Lanyue Chinese Restaurant, he waited anxiously for Ma Zijian's arrival.
After taking a look at the two people sitting there, Hou Shaoyuan chatted with them in a relaxed tone about the food and environment here.
Shen Yuyan responded occasionally, seeming a little absent-minded.
The situation of Youjie Housekeeping has not been optimistic recently, mainly because the promotion effect of the Win-Win Technology App is very unsatisfactory.
The main products of Win-Win Technology are all smart lighting products, and there are no cleaning appliances.
Few of their customers look for housekeeping services on apps.
Instead, their housekeeping platforms are advertising for each other both online and offline.
Shen Yuyan had already vaguely realized that because they were in a hurry to raise funds, they were tricked by the other party.
But things had come to this point, and she had no good solution, so she could only grit her teeth and charge forward.
Try to attract as many big clients as possible, achieve the results of the bet first, and successfully obtain the second round of funds.
"Ding-ling-ling——" A cell phone rang suddenly, and the three of them looked over quickly.
Hou Shaoyuan answered the phone and said cautiously, "Hello, Mr. Ma."
"Mmm Good."
hang up the phone.
Hou Shaoyuan said: "Boss Ma will be here soon, let's go to the lobby to greet him."
"Let's go!" Shen Yuyan stood up with her bag.
Come to the magnificent lobby.
Shen Yuyan stood near the door, took a deep breath, and a gentle and sweet smile appeared on her face.
Try to appear more elegant.
I waited for a few minutes.
Hou Shaoyuan whispered, "Someone is coming."
Then, a serious-looking middle-aged man walked into the restaurant lobby.
He looked very stylish in a navy blue executive jacket, trousers and leather shoes.
Hou Shaoyuan raised his head and chest, took a few steps forward, and took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Hou Shaoyuan."
"Hello Shaoyuan, Mr. An told me about you. You are indeed a handsome man." Ma Zijian smiled and shook hands with him.
Hou Shaoyuan smiled instantly, "Haha, thank you Mr. Ma for the compliment."
Shen Yuyan walked closer and bowed enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Shen Yuyan, the general manager of Youjie Housekeeping. Thank you for your visit."
"Hello." Ma Zijian nodded, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said politely: "I didn't expect your company's management team to be so young and so good-looking."
Shen Yuyan held his hands gracefully and naturally in front of him, and said with a warm smile: "Mr. Ma, you are too kind, but we are deeply honored to receive your praise.
I have always heard of Mr. Ma's outstanding achievements in the industry and his far-sighted leadership. I am honored to meet you today. We are both juniors, and I look forward to the opportunity to learn more from you and do my part for possible future cooperation between the two sides."
She has a sweet and pleasant voice, a pure and beautiful school beauty face, a graceful and sexy figure, and an elegant posture.
She feels like a beautiful and elite lady in the workplace.
Everyone has vanity, and being praised by such an outstanding woman was very enjoyable even for Ma Zijian who knew what she was thinking.
The two parties exchanged a few simple greetings.
Looking at Shen Yuyan, whose eyes were sincere and whose words were flawless, Ma Zijian actually felt some respect and appreciation for her.
This time, it was a regional vice president of Yunxi Real Estate who came in person. He came to have a meal because he couldn't save face.
In fact, I didn’t take it seriously at all, and didn’t think there was any possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
The housekeeping companies they currently work with are all national chains.
Youjie Housekeeping obviously does not have this qualification.
Shen Yuyan extended her hand elegantly and generously, "Boss Ma, this way please, let's go to the box first."
"Okay." Ma Zijian nodded and was about to take a step.
There was a burst of dense footsteps coming from the direction of the restaurant entrance, accompanied by lively conversation.
Ma Zijian's heart skipped a beat and his steps stopped instantly.
As the general manager of a subsidiary of Yunxi Real Estate, he naturally knew some executives of Lanfeng International Hotel and knew who the new owner of the hotel was.
Especially Mr. Tang is the owner of Yunxi Building.
From the conversation, he keenly heard the hotel GM Qiao Anji and others calling "Mr. Tang".
Seeing Ma Zijian suddenly stop, Shen Yuyan asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Mr. Ma?"
"I met a friend, wait a moment." Ma Zijian said perfunctorily, strode towards the door with an eager smile on his face.
Shen Yuyan and the other two turned around and saw a group of more than ten people walking in from the restaurant entrance.
Most of them are middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, both men and women, all dressed in suits.
Among them, there was a figure that stood out and was particularly outstanding.
He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with handsome features, a slender and upright figure, and a tailor-made suit.
He was in the very center of the crowd, attracting everyone's attention and surrounding him.
He looks very elegant and has the aura of a superior.
Shen Yuyan's heartbeat began to speed up and his breathing became rapid.
Li Meixia next to him blurted out: "Tang Song? How could he..."
Hou Shaoyuan looked at the boy who suddenly jumped out and frowned.
His impression of Tang Song was still from the investment roadshow, and he almost forgot about him.
While the three were in a daze, Ma Zijian came over and said enthusiastically, "Good afternoon, Mr. Tang. Long time no see."
Tang Song smiled and shook his hand, "Hello, Mr. Ma."
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Ma Zijian greeted Qiao Anji and others next to him and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you. I still have some things to deal with here."
As he spoke, he pointed inside.
Tang Song's eyes swept across and stopped on Shen Yuyan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Whoo~"
Shen Yuyan's full chest heaved, and he tried hard to keep smiling as he walked up quickly.
First, she glanced at Ma Zijian calmly, and then said in a sweet and intimate voice: "Tang Song, I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm so lucky."
As she spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes and stretched out her hand, looking a little playful.
Tang Song shook the delicate and warm hand of School Beauty Shen, "It's really a surprise. I haven't seen Yuyan for a long time."
"It's been a long time since we last met. I can't help it. We've all been busy lately, and I've always wanted to invite you to our home."
Tang Song chuckled and said, "Okay, I take it seriously."
"You'd better take it seriously." Shen Yuyan smiled and said, "Then next time I invite you, you can't refuse."
"of course not."
The executives of Lanfeng International around them kept silent tacitly and waited quietly by the side.
The two chatted briefly, and Shen Yuyan lifted her hair at the temples and said goodbye gently without disturbing her too much.
I watched them walk into the restaurant.
Hou Shaoyuan looked at Shen Yuyan and whispered, "Boss Ma, how did you and Tang Song know each other?"
He never expected that Ma Zijian would be so polite to Tang Song, and even try to please him.
And looking at Shen Yuyan's appearance just now, it was obvious that he had a special relationship with Tang Song.
I felt a mixture of emotions.
Ma Zijian raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Director Tang is the owner of our Yunxi Building. At the same time, he is also the owner of Lanfeng International Hotel."
As a seasoned business elite, Ma Zijian has a first-class ability to read people's expressions and can naturally see Hou Shaoyuan's little thoughts.
I feel speechless.
If you offend Mr. Tang, the consequences will be something your family cannot afford.
Hearing his words, Hou Shaoyuan's eyes trembled and an incredible expression appeared on his face.
Shen Yuyan's face, which was pretending to be reserved, froze in an instant.
The owner of Lanfeng International Hotel? !
She was very familiar with this landmark luxury five-star hotel.
The ultra-high-end Lanyue Chinese restaurant, the famous Sinmo bar, the international conference center that can accommodate thousands of people, the top presidential suites that cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a night, the high-end executive lounge...
This is the highest-end hotel in Yancheng. It is located in the city center, close to the city's main roads, and surrounded by top-notch commercial facilities.
There are many employees and the suppliers are from a wide range of industries.
The person in control of such a large-scale industry possesses an extremely terrifying network of relationships, personal connections, and social resources.
Shen Yuyan suddenly turned around and looked at Tang Song's receding figure with a dull look in his eyes.
For her, Tang Song at this moment was full of the aura of a strong man and exuded top-level charm.
Power is a man's best coat.
