The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 38: Chung Ju-yung's decision to pick up people

Upon hearing Chung Mong-koo's more feasible proposal, Chung Ju-yung, who was originally a little annoyed, showed a hint of joy on his face. Although this was taking advantage of Hyundai Group's influence in Goryeo and even "kidnapping" 100,000 employees as bargaining chips in disguise, even he, an old man who had experienced decades of ups and downs, felt sincerely that this idea was indeed feasible!
After all, the high-ranking Mr. Yongsan has always hoped that he would have outstanding achievements during his term! However, things did not go as planned. In the past few years, not only did a series of bad things happen, but the bankruptcy of Hanbao Steel last year seemed to have ignited the fuse, and Sammi General Special Steel Company also declared bankruptcy some time later...

If the Hyundai Group, which ranks first in the country, cannot withstand the pressure and suddenly collapses, then Mr. Yongsan will probably be condemned and despised by thousands of people! After all, before him, no president had seen so many large companies go bankrupt during his term...except for him, the "chosen one"!
Chung Ju-yung nodded to his second son, Chung Mong-koo, approving his proposal. As for the fifth son, Chung Mong-sun, Chung Ju-yung looked at him with a hint of regret.

Although the fifth son, Chung Mong-seon, is quite filial and obedient to his father, he is far behind the second son, Chung Mong-koo, in terms of ability. As for the other sons, they all have their own ideas! Who will take over the company in the future is really a headache!
……

As the sun slowly sets, Zhang Junfeng drives the red Ferrari F50 he just bought this year towards the Shilla Hotel.

Today, Zhang Junfeng made a special reservation at a newly opened western restaurant in Jiangnan District that is doing quite good business, intending to have dinner with Li Fuzhen.

However, when Zhang Junfeng arrived at the parking area next to the company, he still couldn't see Li Fuzhen. Confused, he simply parked the car and walked into the company.

The receptionist at the company's front desk saw the unfamiliar Zhang Junfeng and quickly stepped forward to ask for his identity information and purpose. Zhang Junfeng chuckled and immediately said that he was here to see Vice President Li Fuzhen!

The young receptionist at the front desk was dumbfounded. The vice president of their company was the daughter of the group chairman. Could this strange man be a suitor? !
"Sir, our vice president is very busy. If you don't have an appointment..."

Before the young receptionist could finish her words, a middle-level manager of the company noticed Zhang Junfeng and hurried over to greet him, "Mr. Zhang, welcome! The vice president just finished a meeting and should be back in the office now. You can go directly to her..."

Hearing the other party's tactful response, Zhang Junfeng smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the nearby elevator.

The clerk at the front desk frowned slightly, "Section Chief Jin, this gentleman is not from our company. It's inappropriate to let him go up so rashly, right?"

Section Chief Jin glanced at the waiter who was confused about the situation and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "This is the vice president's fiancé, why are you stopping him! Or... do you want to resign?! ​​Be smarter in the future and don't make such a low-level mistake again!"

The receptionist's eyes widened in surprise. The young man just now was actually the fiancé of their vice president? !

……

In the vice president's office.

Li Fuzhen, who had just finished the meeting, was in a bad mood. She had never expected that the business of the leading hotel giant in the country would become worse and worse. Not only that, it seemed that the situation of the hotel industry in the whole country was not optimistic! Such a bad situation made her feel helpless for a while! The knowledge she learned in college was not suitable for the current situation! At the meeting just now, she tried to collect solutions from the middle and senior managers of those hotels, but the results were not satisfactory.

It was nothing more than some ineffective and costly accumulation methods such as discounts and promotions, and more advertising! For the Shilla Hotel, whose turnover was declining day by day, this could not reverse the decline at all.

Just when Li Fuzhen was having a headache, there was a knock on the office door, and then a figure walked in.

"...Didn't I tell you to go home first...Junfeng? Why are you here?!" Li Fuzhen, who was originally feeling a little helpless, looked up and saw the familiar face, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Junfeng walked up to Li Fuzhen, leaned on the desk, looked down at the beautiful and cold face, and said with a smile, "You didn't forget the promise we made before?! I waited for a long time downstairs and didn't see you, so I had to come up to check!"

"It's just that our eldest lady seems to be in some trouble?"

Li Fuzhen shook her head. There were so many people who couldn't handle the company's affairs. Even if she told Zhang Junfeng, there might not be any good solution except that one more person would be upset. After all, everyone has their own expertise. Even if Zhang Junfeng had unique insights in investment, he was just a layman in hotel management!

Seeing that Li Fuzhen was not going to speak, Zhang Junfeng did not continue to ask about this issue. Instead, he took advantage of her inattention and pulled her into his arms, smiling mischievously, "I specially asked someone to reserve a seat at the restaurant today, but now someone is standing me up. Isn't that a bit too much?!"

Li Fuzhen didn't expect that she would be "suddenly attacked". She thought that if her and Zhang Junfeng's ambiguous behavior were noticed by others while she was still in the company, where would her face as the vice president be? How would she manage her subordinates? !
"... Let me go, this is still the company..."

Zhang Junfeng smiled and breathed into her ear, "So can we just go back?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Fuzhen, who was originally a little resistant, blushed. Zhang Junfeng was such a nasty guy! He even did this in the company!
Just when Zhang Junfeng wanted to tease Li Fuzhen again, the office door was knocked again.

Hearing the noise, Li Fuzhen quickly broke free from Zhang Junfeng's arms, hurriedly tidied up her appearance, and then asked someone to come in.

However, the female assistant Jin Yanan was stunned when she saw the strange man in the office, but she quickly realized that this man was the fiancé of her vice president. She almost lost her composure!
After greeting the two, Jin Yanan took out a meeting notice and said, "Vice President, this is the meeting notice sent by the headquarters. The president is not feeling well and cannot attend, so you need to attend the meeting tomorrow afternoon on his behalf..."

Li Fuzhen took the notice handed over by the other party and glanced at it quickly. After roughly understanding it, she readily agreed. When she saw that the other party had nothing else to do, she quickly sent him off work.
