The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 231 Before the Meeting
Zhao Xiaochui turned his head and asked Ou Xiaokui, who had rushed over as soon as she got off the plane:

How many recent graduates did we hire?

“We’ve filled all the employment quotas allocated by the neighborhood committee,” Ou Xiaokui reported quickly. “There are 13 recent graduates and 9 registered unemployed people over 35. In return, Secretary Liu waived three months’ rent for our three-story building.”

She added, "This does not include helping unemployed people working in dry cleaning shops and other similar businesses to find new jobs through the street office."

Zhao Xiaochui understood perfectly; this was equivalent to the government indirectly funding the company to support these new employees for several months.

He recalled the difficult days before his rebirth, and couldn't help but sigh softly and shake his head.

"What did you send them to do? Why are they all so tanned, like they were dug out of a coal pile?"

"What else can we do? Sell the house, find a house, exchange the house!" Zhou Yaqin squeezed through the crowd in a flurry, shoving aside Lei Zhen, the "passerby" standing next to her, and walked side by side with Zhao Xiaochui, her tone tinged with a hint of complaint, "You just left that sack of property certificates and became a hands-off manager, we have to hurry up and exchange these assets for better ones."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaochui turned around and glanced at Lei Zhen.

After a moment's thought, Lei Zhen immediately understood the crux of the matter and said in a deep voice, "I'll go back and tell the Logistics Bureau that we also have some properties of our own. If there are any suitable ones, we can exchange them."

"I can change it here too!"

A loud voice broke in, and Secretary Liu from the street arrived at the scene, sweating profusely. "Little Hammer! Walk 800 meters north from here, cross the Beijing-Harbin Expressway, and you'll find our newly built publishing and creative industry park in Beijing, where some buildings offer customized purchasing services."

"We can exchange them! That half-sack of old, dilapidated apartments you have is perfect for exchanging with the government; we can use it to build affordable and public rental housing!"

"Bullshit!" Zhou Yaqin immediately cursed without holding back, "At least a third of that half-sack is within the demolition plan for the next three years! You old man, you may not be a big official, but you're quite the schemer!"

Secretary Liu blushed slightly, then whispered in defense, "Sister, I'm not even fifty yet..."

"Alright, alright, is the point now your age?" Zhao Xiaochui promptly interrupted the escalating argument, looking at Secretary Liu with annoyance. "What are you doing here again?"

Secretary Liu, with his thick skin, chuckled and stepped forward: "I, as the leader in charge, am not allowed to attend the routine meeting of key enterprises within the jurisdiction of this street?"

Zhao Xiaochui looked him up and down with a suspicious gaze: "Key enterprise? I seem to remember that in our Fatou area, the only companies that can be considered enterprises, besides that Baodu King, are our 'Relaxed Slow Travel'?"

"Hey, don't hit someone in the face..." Secretary Liu was annoyed for a second after his secret was exposed, but then he said cheerfully, "Little Hammer, thanks to you, I recently got a small promotion. Now I'm also serving as the district head's assistant, helping to manage business related to disabled people and human resources."

Zhao Xiaochui didn't understand these intricacies of officialdom, and looked at Zhou Yaqin beside him with a puzzled expression.

The old lady pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice and explained, "This is a transitional position. If I do well in this position, it will pave the way for my formal appointment as the deputy district head."

So what's there to hesitate about?
“We can do a swap!” Zhao Xiaochui made the decision without hesitation. “But the swap plan must take into account the premium from the demolition. Also, we need an entire building. In addition, the street office must also solve the dormitory problem for all our ‘Easy Walk’ employees. Secretary Liu, you should know what the standards are.”

"Let's go with two buildings then. There are talent apartments planned over there, not too big, perfect for a relaxed and leisurely pace!"

Hearing his words, everyone present except Zhao Xiaochui rolled their eyes.

Upon hearing this, almost everyone present, except for Zhao Xiaochui, silently rolled their eyes.

Zhao Xiaochui smiled but didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that sometimes, what seemed like a loss was actually a huge gain. Although the industrial park was currently located next to the Fourth Ring Road on Huagong Road and seemed sparsely populated, he clearly knew what it would look like five years from now.

"can!"

Seeing how readily he agreed, Secretary Liu became a little uneasy and quickly added, "We've agreed that any overpayment will be refunded and any underpayment will be collected! We only want those old, dilapidated small houses; we don't want your small storefronts in bad locations!"

"Don't worry!" At this moment, Lei Zhen, who had been silent all along, interjected with a dark face, "Our bureau will exchange those storefronts for properties in good locations." "You are..." Secretary Liu looked at the somewhat familiar face, and his mind suddenly went blank. He instantly recalled the scene when he signed a confidentiality agreement some time ago, and his body involuntarily straightened up.

Lei Zhen uttered four words calmly: "Shareholder representative."

What else is there to say now?

With such shareholders, such a company, and such foreseeable huge tax revenues...

Chaoyang District really struck gold this time!

Secretary Liu immediately felt that he didn't need to join in the fun at this meeting. He immediately put on a smile, politely greeted everyone, then turned around and practically ran away from the scene.

Zhao Xiaochui glanced at the dark-skinned recent graduates again, then, while communicating with Li Muqingfeng through his earphones, took Da Qiao from the blind woman and pulled him into the conference room with its open partitions.

At this time, the luxurious conference room had been integrated with the office area, and all administrative staff, except for Shen Yan's system management department, were able to participate in the first monthly meeting on site.

At the center of the conference table, accounting supervisor Zhang Minghua and HR Cheng Jin were having a tense discussion, while busy accounting staff moved about with documents in hand.

Next to her were Sister Hua and Guo Guo, who sat upright and serious for a long time. Their business suits accentuated their tall figures, drawing frequent glances from the young employees in the office area.

Li Muqingfeng was also waiting, and stopped communicating with Zhao Xiaochui through the earpiece, shaking his head at him.

Zhao Xiaochui sighed with regret, lamenting the shattering of his dream of creating a 'purely natural' sunscreen product by utilizing the properties of essential oils.

At this moment, Zhang Minghua and Cheng Jin also finished their discussion, and the results were compiled into A4 sheets of paper, which were placed in front of Zhao Xiaochui.

Zhao Xiaochui picked it up and glanced at it; it was almost identical to what Zhou Yaqin had reported to him beforehand.

He tapped his earpiece: "Brother Shen, are you guys listening?"

“Listen up, boss, all six of us are listening.”

"Then let's have a meeting."

Zhao Xiaochui is very good at casually announcing meetings.

Picking up an A4 sheet of paper, he said in a serious tone:

"Let me first introduce the management system of 'relaxed and slow-paced' travel."

"However, I want to emphasize one point beforehand—Easy Mobility will no longer recruit professional managers; all new department heads will be selected from within the company."

…………

Yu Xiaoning, with his sharp insight, laid a solid foundation for a relaxed and slow-paced lifestyle.

But after so many days and so many personnel files, she hasn't sent in a single new person. Clearly, the easy and slow newbie protection period has passed.

Its future depends on itself!
