I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 300 Su Cheng is a Little Handsome

RK International Consulting, a subsidiary of the Dihao Group.

Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen wore the group's small name tags on their chests and were doing the final dress code check.

One K10 and one K6.

Standing behind Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen already sensed the meaning of "borrowing power from others" even before entering the building.

"Ms. Su, shall we go in?"

"Ah."

The two walked briskly into the commercial building.

……

RK Consulting is one of the group's talent training academies, and even in Jingzhou, it is a well-known name. Their headquarters in Jingzhou is not far from Shengyue, only one block away.

RK Consulting has handled many excellent cases and is no smaller than Shengyue Consulting.

However, this refers to RK Consulting's headquarters in Kyoto.

RK Consulting's Australian branch was only established two years ago, less than two years in total.

The company is small and has few employees; there are only ten people in total, including supervisors, team leaders, and deputy team leaders.

Jiang Shuyue sat in her office chair, pondering the matter of the newly appointed leader.

She sat upright like a meticulously crafted white magnolia, tall and well-proportioned, her height of about 1.7 meters giving her a natural aura of elegance.

Jiang Shuyue has a classic oval face with smooth and soft contours. Her jawline is clean and sharp, creating a perfect curve that is neither too sharp nor too blunt.

Her skin was as smooth as the finest mutton fat jade, with a warm luster, and her pores were almost invisible under the light.

Her nose was small and straight, her lips had a clear peak, and her lips were a natural, healthy rose pink, naturally beautiful without any makeup.

Her cheeks naturally glowed with a light, healthy pink hue, like the most delicate color on a peach blossom in early spring.

What's most unforgettable are her eyes—beautifully almond-shaped with deep amber pupils and slightly upturned corners, exuding a subtle languor and allure.

From firm, rounded thighs to smooth-lined calves, and then to slender, delicate ankles, every transition is just right, without an ounce of excess fat.

The knees are small and rounded, the calves are full and firm, tapering down to form a beautifully shaped ankle with distinct joints that are not abrupt, as if carefully polished from the finest jade.

Even in flat shoes, her legs still looked straight and well-proportioned.

Her beauty carries a cool and aloof quality, like the first melting snow on a mountaintop, clean and clear, making one dare not easily defile it.

However, even such a stunning beauty seemed to have a faint trace of sorrow between her brows.

Jiang Shuyue had already received advance notice that the group was going to send a leader to them.

The most frightening thing about parachuted-in leaders is that they are parachuted in before they are actually appointed.

Jiang Shuyue could probably guess why the group had parachuted in leaders for them.

The business at the Australian branch is indeed not doing well.

It's not that the handling was inadequate, it's that there was simply no business.

It's ridiculous that they, as the window to the outside world, have no business.

The main problem is that the group's positioning for them is very vague.

Jiang Shuyue also did a count of business cases yesterday.

The clients are mainly capital firms in Western Europe, and the focus is primarily on consulting rather than actual case handling.

Occasionally, British capitalists would come, but not many, and the French women rarely accepted them either.

In their spare time, RK headquarters would assign them some unfinished domestic case files, asking them to help with information collection and case file analysis, and to prepare schedules and such.

Jiang Shuyue was worried that the new leader would be difficult to get along with.

There were people who were even more anxious than her.

Gu Jingyan.

The deputy leader of Group 1.

In fact, the Australian branch only has one group.

"Sister Shuyue, has headquarters said when he's coming? I've been so nervous these past few days!"

Jiang Shuyue had already prepared herself mentally, but Gu Jingyan became nervous again, which brought her back to her previous state.

"Forget about it, let's just focus on our business. Let him come whenever he wants."

Jiang Shuyue had just finished speaking.

The office fax machine suddenly started working, beeping.

Jiang Shuyue picked up the printed fax to examine it, and the contents made her eyes widen in surprise.

"Sister Shuyue, what's wrong?"

Gu Jingyan noticed that Jiang Shuyue's expression was off, so she immediately ran over from the other side of the desk, put one hand on the desk and the other on Jiang Shuyue's shoulder, and checked the fax with her.

The fax is not addressed to RK headquarters, but to the headquarters of Dihao Group!
The main content involves adjusting the business metrics of RK Consulting's Australian branch.

The two were dumbfounded when they saw the fax.

"Wait, what is this thing?"

"The people haven't even arrived yet, but the KPIs have already been hit?"

Gu Jingyan repeatedly checked where the decimal point was: "This is terrifying..."

Compared to before, their indicators have increased more than fivefold!

Even Jiang Shuyue frowned again, her brows which had just relaxed.

Business in Australia isn't very good.

The public has only one impression of this city: gambling city.

The gaming and tourism industries are indeed the core pillars of the Australian economy.

To be honest, most tourists who come here have that thought to some extent.

Every three or four weeks, they receive one or two inquiries from tourists asking how to place bets to guarantee a 100% win rate.

This kind of thing has become a recurring occurrence.

RK's branch here is mainly aimed at foreign investors.

But those consulting firms in the EU aren't just sitting around doing nothing either.

At most, we'll cooperate with them to get some localized intelligence and information. We'll get some advice from them, and we'll only earn a pittance.

Jiang Shuyue had already calculated that within two years of its establishment, over 90% of the work was assisted by third-party consulting firms.

Why did she just say the positioning was vague?

Because if foreign investors want to invest in their country through Australia, they basically go to consulting firms in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities, which have nothing to do with their business.

Even those with small capital should at least look for branches of large corporations located in first-tier provincial capitals.

But then again.

Even if these kinds of cases are booked up every day, it would only amount to half of this fax?
Both of them felt extremely pressured.

Even before meeting the person, you can already feel how terrifying the new leader is.

Jiang Shuyue and Gu Jingyan began to guess whether the new leader was an old man or an old woman.

Both of them thought that the leader who was parachuted in this time must be an old lady.

As for why.

"Hey, Sister Shuyue, do you remember that old lady we met in Yuezhou?"

"Of course I remember, how could I not remember?"

Jiang Shuyue and Gu Jingyan originally worked at a consulting firm in Yuezhou, but it was not affiliated with the Dihao Group; rather, it was a consulting firm established by other capital.

That happened several years ago; they only switched jobs to the Emperor Group later.

Strictly speaking, they were both poached by RK Consulting from the Dihao Group with high salaries; one was given a K9 position and the other a K7 position.

Before joining RK Consulting, they had dealt with many female leaders of the Dihao Group.

The two had met elderly women in their fifties, sixties, and even seventies who were still active on the front lines of the Emperor Group, and not just once, but many times.

He's undeniably stylish, but he's also undeniably terrifying.

An elderly woman in her sixties or seventies, whose eyes frequently radiated a murderous aura, could intimidate people with just a glance—that's the most frightening kind of person.

If it weren't for their custom-made suits, Prada coats, and various expensive perfumes, you'd think they'd just come from a life-or-death battlefield. But to be honest...

The business world is like a battlefield; sometimes, after being in this industry for a long time, it really is no different from a battlefield.

Especially these female generals who are active on the front lines are even more exaggerated and terrifying.

Although she is in her sixties or seventies, she doesn't look it at all; she looks much younger than her peers.

The marketplace may have ravaged their lives, but it has also given them a new lease on life.

"Sister Shuyue, I heard that there are quite a few veterans in the Emperor Group, and they are not yet able to retire from the front line."

Jiang Shuyue had also heard of it.

These people can't be idle. If they are idle, they are prone to Alzheimer's disease, so they have to keep their brains active.

Even playing chess is better than idly watering flowers or walking birds.

"Hmm...this group of people can be said to have a symbiotic relationship with the group."

At the prime of their lives, they dedicated their most valuable years to the group.

Leaders of that age usually have grown up, and their children are probably all grown up, maybe even have granddaughters.

But their bodies definitely can't keep up when they go home to hold their grandchildren.

It's impossible for them to enjoy such low-level pleasures as playing chess with the old men in the park or chatting with the old ladies leaning against the wall in the neighborhood about their retirement pensions.

They usually don't like to talk to others, and no one talks to them. Their social status, social circle, and personal role are limited to the business battlefield.

So I just haven't returned it yet.

It's not a big deal if they don't back down. Their strategies, methods, and wisdom, even if not top-notch, are still first-class in the industry, making them more sought-after than architects and doctors.

Not only are they highly skilled in their work, but they can also mentor new employees for the group, which is happy for them not to retire.

"They are very capable, but some of them have very strange personalities and are not easy to get along with," Gu Jingyan muttered to herself, recalling the scene of her boss pointing fingers at her and scolding her.

"Hmm... these are actually minor issues for the group."

"Sister Shuyue, I'm still scared. I hope my future mother-in-law won't be like that."

Ok?
Jiang Shuyue hadn't considered the issue from that perspective.

She briefly considered it.

Uh.

Having a strong, intelligent, and ruthless mother-in-law can be very difficult.

But it's not actually that hard to do?
Getting married doesn't necessarily mean dealing with your mother-in-law.

Besides, they are all so intelligent, how could they not know how to get along with their sons and daughters-in-law?
"Jingyan, your thinking is a bit dangerous. You're not even married yet and you're already thinking about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts. Just watch less of those kinds of videos. Let's not let the internet lead us astray."

dong dong dong~
There was a knock on the office door.

A young man, who looked to be under thirty, walked in.

Xu Wenlin.

RK Consulting Group Leader, Level K8.

Gu Jingyan sat back down on the sofa from behind her desk.

"Team Leader Xu, you've come at the right time. Headquarters sent a fax for you to take a look at."

Xu Wenlin took the fax from Jiang Shuyue and began to read it.

His expression and reaction showed even more surprise than the two girls.

Is this a new KPI?

"You want to make a billion in a year?"

Let alone a year.

Even in three years, they wouldn't earn that much.

The Macau branch is essentially a window into the business; there are hardly any staff members there.

Jiang Shuyue is the supervisor, he is the team leader, Gu Jingyan is the deputy team leader, and there are seven other people, making a total of ten people.

He tried hard to control his facial expressions.

Don't be surprised.

The group should be aware of their current business volume.

Since the KPIs have been raised, will there be corresponding support?

"The group plans to expand our scale, right?" Xu Wenlin pressed Jiang Shuyue, "Are there any other documents? Just this one?"

"Yes, there are no further announcements."

Xu Wenlin couldn't hold back any longer.

Instead of paying or providing personnel, they simply raised the business's KPIs.

Is this right?
"Was the decimal point misplaced?"

Gu Jingyan was so angry at the document from headquarters that she laughed: "No, I've already counted it, it's one billion."

at this time.

A subordinate in a suit rushed into the office in a panic.

"Manager Jiang, it seems like a new leader from the group headquarters has arrived!"

The three of them exchanged a remarkably similar expression and asked in unison, "Where/where?"

"We're already in the elevator."

"So fast?"

The three of them hurried to the elevator to greet him.

Two minutes later.

Jiang Shuyue and the others met Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen.

It wasn't the old man and woman she and Gu Jingyan had just imagined, but a young man.

My age is about the same as theirs.

The name, position, and rank were clearly written on the name tag.

Su Cheng.

Senior Vice President.

K10.

After welcoming the two into the conference room, Jiang Shuyue finally had time to carefully examine this newly appointed leader.

He was tall and upright, about 175 centimeters tall, with a slender and well-proportioned frame. He was neither a burly man nor a delicate and weak man, but a physique that was just right, containing strength and resilience, like a bamboo stalk that had weathered the wind and rain but remained green by a mountain stream.

When you look at his face, the first thing you notice is a handsome and clean-cut youthful charm.

A face with well-defined features, a distinct jawline that is not sharp, and smooth lines unique to young people.

Her skin was a healthy, warm, jade-white color, delicate and smooth, radiating a natural glow and good blood circulation, as if it had been nourished by the warm spring sunshine for a long time, carrying a clean and vibrant warmth.

What's most striking are her eyes. They are long, double-lidded eyes with slightly drooping corners. When she's not smiling, they have a calm, even slightly aloof, scrutinizing quality, as if they can easily see through people's hearts.

But when Su Cheng gazed at her, that sense of distance instantly melted away, and a clear and warm light flowed from her eyes, so clean and pure that it made one's heart tremble.

The heroic spirit between his brows, the sharp angles of his jaw, and the certain something that settled in his eyes firmly held the bottom line of masculinity.

Jiang Shuyue observed carefully and was surprised to find a very faint, almost imperceptible trace in Su Cheng's eyes, like a ripple gently brushed by time or experience, adding a sense of story beyond his age.

It was only then that she realized that Su Cheng's youthful spirit was not just superficial simplicity.

Deep within Su Cheng's eyes, there seemed to be a calmness and scrutiny beyond his years, and even an indescribable weariness or vicissitude.

Jiang Shuyue was certain that this melancholy was not something Su Cheng deliberately displayed during their first meeting; rather, it was a natural trace left after experiencing some trials and tribulations and bearing certain burdens.

it's wired.

This conflict between youthful exuberance and mature composure gives Su Cheng a unique appeal.

It evokes a complex charm that makes one want to get closer and explore her story, yet also commands respect due to its profound depth.

how to say……

He's kind of handsome!
