Chapter 2409 No pain or itch

Yuan Kun looked at Lin Bai bitterly and said, "I've been coveting it for a long time."

Lin Bai looked at Yuan Kun in confusion and asked, "Then what do you mean by telling me?"

"Saul is getting anxious. Headquarters takes this case very seriously and just increased the budget last Thursday. I've failed before, but I didn't think it damaged my reputation. But this time is different. If I fail, it will be a big deal."

Lin Bai said, "We can't fail in front of Thor?"

"Yes, you can imagine what the performance management report sent to the Ugly Country will look like if I fail. Saul has a prejudice against me, and the job evaluation at the headquarters will definitely be affected by the report."

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and asked, "How much time is left until the deadline?"

Yuan Kun was waiting for Lin Bai to ask, so he said, "Twenty days!"

Lin Bai asked puzzledly: "Twenty days?"

At this moment, he also felt that it was very difficult. After all, Yuan Kun and his team had been busy for two months without any progress. He did not believe that he could do better than Yuan Kun in such a short time. After all, Yuan Kun was a more experienced headhunter than himself, but now he was helpless.

"That's right, let's try it out. Help me think of a solution."

Seeing that Yuan Kun said so, Lin Bai could only nod and see how to accomplish this.

Lin Bai went to Deren to check on Tian Yao's performance. Tian Yao's first job was to help the company recruit people. After several rounds of interviews, Zheng Qiudong was very satisfied with Tian Yao's performance.

After Zheng Qiudong and Lin Bai had dinner together, they made an appointment to go swimming together.

Zheng Qiudong looked at Lin Bai and said, "Go ahead, you must have something to ask me."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Yes, I do have a troublesome matter this time and I want to ask you for help. Now that your team is strengthened, I can talk to you about this matter." Then Lin Bai took the initiative to tell Zheng Qiudong that Nanguo Shichuang was planning to poach people.

"Does he have to take him down? That means he has already done his research, saving you the trouble. You just need to persuade him to come. What's so difficult about that? Who in the world would refuse the CEO of Nan Guo Shi Chuang?"

But when he saw Lin Bai was silent, he was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? Was he really rejected? What does this person do?"

Lin Bai said: "An official."

Then Lin Bai introduced the other party's identity to Zheng Qiudong, Qu Minjing, who was highly educated and capable. His current political achievements were also good, and he was even in a period of success. So when Yuan Kun proposed an annual salary of two million, he refused without hesitation.

Tu Fangzhi, the boss of Nan Guo Shi Chuang, and Qu Minjing are college classmates, but he does not want the other party to know that he is the big boss behind the scenes, and hopes to give Qu Minjing a fair chance to choose.

Lin Bai then said that he was asked by Yuan Kun, but he hoped that the case could be transferred to Akihito.

Zheng Qiudong asked, "After being rejected last time, did Nan Guo Shi Chuang raise the price?"

"Okay, you really don't say a word of nonsense. Raise it to 2.6 million."

Zheng Qiudong asked: "Why are you looking for me?"

"The Beijing branch of the special hunting company is in Qu Minjing's jurisdiction. If you open a company in someone else's territory and hunt someone else's deputy district chief, wouldn't it be troublesome if the landlord knew about it? If you fail to accomplish your goal and offend someone, it will be even more unprofitable. But Deren is completely different. Even if you offend the local county government, it is your fault."

When Zheng Qiudong heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai quickly said: “Whether you, Deren, have a branch in the capital now or not, it doesn’t matter if you offend anyone or not.”

Zheng Qiudong asked: "What's the time limit?"

"It's all about the waistline. Yuan Kun wasted a lot of time before. Now there are only 19 days left."

Zheng Qiudong was also a little unhappy and said, "You are putting me on the line. Nineteen days, nineteen days I can't even figure out Qu Minjing's schedule. You should ask for help from someone else!"

Lin Bai said, "If you complete this deal, your reward will be 12% of 2.6 million, which means 312,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Zheng Qiudong was immediately moved.

Lin Bai naturally saw it, and continued, "You are not starting from scratch either. Yuan Kun has done a lot of work before, so at least the information is rich."

"What if the mission is not accomplished?"

"Then you can only take the deposit, 2%, and reimburse the bills of 800 yuan per day."

Zheng Qiudong said: "I need to think about it, it still sounds a bit unreliable."

Lin Bai said, "Are you moved by the money? I think you should give it a try regardless of success or failure. I suggest you go to Beijing first and lie comfortably on the bed in the hotel. If you want to take the job, you can start working right away. If you don't want to take the job, you can come back right away."

"You think about it here. By the time you figure it out, time will have run out. In Beijing, the headquarters will send someone to work with you. It's all just an internship. On the surface, you are Naruhito's man, but in fact, this order is a special offer for senior headhunters. You must have the desire to give it a try."

Zheng Qiudong was even more tempted now. After all, he couldn't really be satisfied with letting Deren continue to be a low-end headhunter. He also wanted to get involved in high-end headhunting services.

After Zheng Qiudong nodded, Lin Bai immediately sent the flight information to Zheng Qiudong, urging him to go to Beijing in the afternoon.

Zheng Qiudong then realized that Lin Bai had planned this all along.

Since the decision had been made, Zheng Qiudong returned to the company immediately, assigned the company's business to Tian Yao, and asked Jia Yime and Ma Xiaohong to assist.

Tian Yao didn't expect that he would be entrusted with such an important task when he first arrived, but he felt that a man would die for his friend, so he agreed.

As an old employee of the company, Jia Yime should have opposed the practice of promoting others over her own. However, she didn't care at all. Instead, she was very concerned about Zheng Qiudong's condition.

After hearing this, Zheng Qiudong smiled and said, "I'm not as fragile as you think! You are a veteran employee of the company, so please help Tian Yao with your work."

When Zheng Qiudong was packing his luggage, he found a photo frame containing a photo of him and Luo Yiren, as well as the book Norwegian Wood that had been with him for nine years. He felt a little confused for a moment.

He looked at it for a while and then put it back.

At this time, Hui Chenggong also returned to the apartment, and the two looked at each other in bewilderment. The roommates who were once close to each other now seemed as distant as strangers.

After a few casual chats, Hui Chenggong said that the reason he left was to experience the feeling of job-hopping, and he did not regret this job-hopping. He even learned a lot of values ​​from headhunters.

Zheng Qiudong, however, disagrees with this. Hui Chenggong is no longer the simple newcomer in the workplace.

Hui Chenggong seemed to have achieved an equal status with Zheng Qiudong, and talked about his own ideas with Zheng Qiudong. He said that the reason Xiong Qingchun left was because Zheng Qiudong no longer had passion, so Xiong Qingchu wanted to switch to Kevin Yang. Then he wanted to talk to Zheng Qiudong about Luo Yiren and express his own shallow opinions.

Zheng Qiudong was not interested at all and said that he had to catch a flight and asked Hui Chenggong to hand the key directly to Tian Yao. Hui Chenggong did not expect that he would be replaced so soon, and it was a newcomer who had just joined the company.

Zheng Qiudong said: "Just before you were about to become CEO Hui, you suddenly left to experience the feeling of job hopping. Before leaving, you turned off the gas, water and electricity, just like before."

Hui Chenggong looked at Zheng Qiudong's back and suddenly began to doubt whether he had made the right decision to change jobs this time. After all, when he went to Mr. Hai's place, he was only a human resources manager, but he could not become a human resources director. If he left later, would he have the title of vice president of a headhunting company and have better choices in the future?

Zheng Qiudong arrived in Beijing and returned to the hotel. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, he felt extremely complicated. He had fled here in a panic last time, but he didn't expect to return here in glory. In the future, this place would no longer be his forbidden place.

In order to complete the task, Zheng Qiudong and Lin Bai's assistant Xiao Jin followed Qu Minjing to the public restaurant for dinner. In order to prevent others from hearing them talking about Qu Minjing, they even gave Qu Minjing a code name, Pin.

It was only after hearing Xiao Jin's story that Zheng Qiudong understood that beneath the surface of the Qu family's smooth sailing, there were actually many contradictions.

Qu Minjing is an intellectual who is particularly interested in being an official. Although he is good at administrative management, his weakness is socializing. He is not good at socializing and is even nicknamed the red leaves of Xishan Mountain, which are red and cold.

His wife was born in a scholarly family, and his father-in-law and wife were not optimistic about his career as an official. Moreover, his daughter had a serious respiratory disease and was not suitable for living in the capital city with serious air pollution. According to the latest internal information, Qu Minjing's hope of promotion this time was not great, which was a very favorable condition for Zheng Qiudong.

After a day of tracking without any progress, Zheng Qiudong returned to the hotel, picked up his cell phone and tried to call Luo Yiren.

Although Xiong Qingchun said before he left that Luo Yiren could not be contacted, he did not hold much hope, but he did not expect that the call was actually connected.

Luo Yiren didn't expect that she would receive a call from Zheng Qiudong. She looked at the Norwegian Forest with the notes on it, glanced at Zhao Shucheng who was working on the side, and walked aside to answer the phone.

"Hey!"

Zheng Qiudong said: "Is it really you?"

Luo Yiren said, "If it's not me, then who is it? Who are you calling?"

"I'm calling you. I heard that your phone has been unanswered for a long time, so I'm going to give it a try."

Luo Yiren said: "Why did you think of calling me?"

"I came to the capital to do something."

Luo Yiren said in surprise: "You came to the capital?"

"Yes, you really think I'm from Hangzhou? I have a Beijing hukou."

Luo Yiren asked: "Travelling to get married?"

"No, it's about work."

"What's up? Or just a routine greeting?"

Zheng Qiudong said: "I want to say hello, but I really have something to ask, maybe you can help me. Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Luo Yiren looked at Zhao Shucheng in the office and said, "No, I have an appointment with someone to watch a show tonight."

"Is the performance more important than our gathering of old friends? How about we have a midnight snack together after you finish watching the show?"

Luo Yiren was silent, hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll treat you to a midnight snack then. Where do you live?"

"I live on the East Third Ring Road. The lender arranged it for me."

Luo Yiren asked, "East Third Ring Road, is your matter urgent?"

"It's more urgent."

"If you're in a hurry, come find me. We're going to watch the show at the People's Theater. I'll send you the address on WeChat later."

Zheng Qiudong smiled and said, "Okay, People's Theater, I know where it is. I'll find you then. See you tonight!"

"See you tonight!"

After Luo Yiren hung up the phone, she hesitated for a moment, then came to Zhao Shucheng's office and said, "Shucheng, after the show tonight, I have an appointment with a friend to have a midnight snack together."

"Okay, do you want me to take you there?"

Luo Yiren said: "No, when he comes to see me, won't you ask me who my friend is?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No matter who your friends are, you have the freedom to socialize with them. But you have just recovered from your illness, so even if you go to a party, you should drink less."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. In fact, you know this person."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Luo Yiren who was hesitant to speak, and thought for a moment before saying with a smile: "Is Zheng Qiudong coming to the capital?"

"How did you know? Did Lin Bai tell you?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, I guessed it. In fact, it's easy to guess. If it was any other friend, you wouldn't be so entangled, just tell me directly. Only he would make you like this."

Luo Yiren said anxiously, "I broke up with him a long time ago, and he came to Beijing for business this time. I thought we were old friends, so I agreed. If you don't want to, I'll just turn it down."

"No need. I also want to know why Zheng Qiudong came to Beijing this time. Besides, I believe in you. Let's go. It's almost time. Let's go watch the drama first."

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng didn't seem to be angry, Luo Yiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! How about we go see him together? He said he wants my help this time. Maybe you can help him."

Zhao Shucheng said, "All is fine."

Zheng Qiudong arrived outside the theater early, and when the show was over, he saw Zhao Shucheng coming out with Luo Yiren. He didn't pay much attention at first. But when he saw Zhao Shucheng hugging Luo Yiren and even hugging and kissing, he realized that Zhao Shucheng and Luo Yiren were not in a normal relationship.

Zheng Qiudong didn't expect that Luo Yiren was actually with Zhao Shucheng. The excitement in his heart suddenly subsided, and he even felt relieved.

Luo Yiren naturally saw Zheng Qiudong, pulled Zhao Shucheng to his side, and said, "Qiudong!"

"Yiren!"

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "You two should have known each other for a long time, but I still need to introduce you formally. This is my boyfriend, Zhao Shucheng, and this is my college classmate, Zheng Qiudong."
