Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Suosuo, don't overthink it. Do you know why CEO Ye started to reorganize the sales department before Yang Ke completely left?"

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "Why? Isn't it because people become cold after leaving the company?"

"You think too simply. Yang Ke is no pushover. He's already set up shop in Jingyan. If I hadn't joined Jingyan and discovered the problem, Jingyan would have suffered heavy losses if Yang Ke had left!"

"What do you mean? Are you referring to those people in the sales department? I know that. Yang Ke is generous to his subordinates and his interpersonal skills are impeccable, so everyone is willing to follow him."

"You're wrong. The elites in the sales department were all trained by Yang Ke. There's nothing wrong with sticking with him. His biggest asset is Jingyan's CFO, Ms. Pan, and Yang Ke has been dating her for four years."

After hearing Han Tao's words, and that Yang Ke's girlfriend was actually the company's unassuming financial director, Ms. Pan, Zhu Suosuo's eyes widened, and she said in surprise and disbelief:

"Brother Han, you are kidding, right? This is absolutely impossible. How could it be Teacher Pan? There are so many beautiful girls around Yang Ke.

It can be said that he has certain requirements for girls within three meters, regardless of appearance, height, or shape, such as April, Irene, etc.

Looking at the shocked Zhu Suosuo, Han Tao shook his head and said, "Suosuo, you are too naive. You have been in the workplace for too short a time and you cannot see many things clearly.

Do you think Yang Ke has only been selling houses and flirting with young girls for so many years? Do you think Yang Ke has such a close female friend and looks like a playboy, but is it really that simple?

In fact, that was all for show, just a show, a false impression created by Yang Ke to expand his network and confuse others.

Han Tao finished the last mouthful of porridge and wiped his mouth as he said, "Have you never thought about this? Mr. Ye just bought you a cup of coffee, but he got the news immediately. Why is that?"

His network of contacts and connections extends beyond just the sales department and the finance department, to every department that handles Jingyan, and there are people like Yang Ke in every department.

As long as he sets up his own business, he can directly pull out a complete framework. Even Tang Xin, Ye Jinyan's right-hand man and who has been with Mr. Ye, has a deep friendship with Yang Ke."

Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun, who had never known or experienced the intrigues in the workplace, were shocked to hear what Han Tao said.

Neither of them expected that the workplace struggles and business intrigues that appeared in TV dramas would one day appear in real life, right next to them.

"I thought this kind of plot only existed in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to actually happen in real life."

Hearing Jiang Nansun's sigh, Han Tao smiled softly and said, "This is nothing at all, including what is shown in TV dramas, it's just child's play.

In reality, it's even more brutal. Some people can keep a plan going for decades. I won't go into detail about this, but if you're interested, you can find out by searching online.

It is said that the business world is like a battlefield. The only difference between the two is that most business competition relies on brains rather than force.

The competition between senior executives in the workplace is a battle of wits and courage within the legal scope, and the goal is to kill without bloodshed.

Of course, there are those who can't afford to play games, or who are pushed into a desperate situation, who resort to despicable means. There are also those who simply can't handle it, or who are angry and embarrassed, who resort to inferior methods.

The reason I told them all this today was to tell them about the dangers of the workplace. However, looking at the expressions of Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, Han Tao continued to ask helplessly:

"Nansun, do you know why Ye Jinyan chose Tang Xin, the CEO of Jingyan Design Department, instead of your aunt?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun thought for a moment and responded, "My aunt said that she took the initiative to withdraw, mainly because of a difference in philosophy at the time. Of course, my aunt said that Tang Xin's ability is indeed strong and indeed surpasses my aunt's."

Han Tao smiled and said, "It's not that simple. It's all about naked profit. Actually, my aunt's philosophy is the same as Mr. Ye's, but at that time, Jingyan needed profit the most, and Mr. Ye also needed to make money.

So, in that situation, between Tang Xin and her aunt, Tang Xin was more in line with the interests of Jing Yan and Mr. Ye at the time, so Tang Xin came down.

But fundamentally, Tang Xin and Mr. Ye are not suitable for each other, which is why Yang Ke and Tang Xin are so close, because they both pursue high efficiency and more profitable projects.

Hearing Han Tao's words, Jiang Nansun asked in confusion: "Then why does Mr. Ye now pursue sentiment and cultural concepts?"

"It's simple, because Mr. Ye is now successful in his career and has made enough money. Although so many years have passed, he is still an idealist at heart.

So, Mr. Ye is now focusing on sentiment and culture. He wants to make a non-profitable project like the community library a success. In addition to his ideals, he also wants to achieve a brand breakthrough.

It is precisely because of this that there are some fundamental differences between President Ye, Yang Ke and Tang Xin, and there are serious conflicts between them.

Ye Jinyan made enough money and had macro considerations and plans, but Tang Xin and the others did not. Ye Jinyan wanted to realize his original dream and give himself a perfect life while he had the capital and energy.

But Tang Xin and others were not willing to accept this idea. Not everyone has enough capital, not everyone has enough food and clothing, and not everyone can do what they like. "

"I thought it was really simple before, but now I understand a little bit!"

Jiang Nansun suddenly realized that, to put it bluntly, although her aunt and Ye Jinyan had the same ideas, the timing was wrong for them to be together.

Tang Xin was not the same type of person as Mr. Ye from the very beginning, but Tang Xin was more pragmatic. At that time, Jingyan's only goal was to gain a foothold and to grow stronger.

Chapter 403 Library Project Launched

At 8:30 in the morning, Han Tao brought Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun to Jingyan Group. Since Fan Jingang had taken them to handle the formalities before, the two of them agreed to go to the cafeteria for lunch together, and then reported to their respective departments.

However, after Zhu Suosuo arrived at Ye Jinyan's office, before she could say anything, she was scolded by Fan Jingang, who said she was late and took out a notebook and asked Zhu Suosuo to write down the eighty-nine precautions in it.

However, after being instructed, Zhu Suosuo already knew that Fan Jingang was not serious about her, so she faced him with a smile. In the end, Fan Jingang felt embarrassed, so he adjusted his tone and gave him the task of helping Mr. Ye get breakfast.

After Zhu Suosuo left, Fan Jingang went directly to the design department, then returned to Ye Jinyan's office, walked into the inner room and said:

"Boss Ye, Jiang Nansun and Li Ang have already reported in, but there are only two of them in the R&D team. Isn't that a bit short on manpower? How about I transfer a few more people over there?"

"Not yet. The R&D team hasn't been officially established yet. We'll decide after the research is completed."

Ye Jinyan shook his head. He still needed to think about this matter. After all, the current R&D team lacked a leading figure.

The reason why Jiang Nansun and Li Ang were asked to join now was, firstly, because Jiang Nansun's design concept was quite suitable for this project, and secondly, Li Ang happened to have grown up in the town to be developed, and he had a deep affection for the library and he also had the ability, but he lacked experience.

Fan Jingang pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Ye, although it hasn't been listed yet, we can't delay in Qingpu, so we should hurry up and set up this team.

Li Ang and Jiang Nansun really have too little experience, so we still need to consider adding more manpower. More people are always good."

"Let's do this for now. There's no suitable manpower at the moment."

Ye Jinyan sighed. Although what Fan Jingang said made sense, the manpower for other projects had already been decided. Moreover, the library project was advanced because the bidding for Qingpu's Plot 81 was brought forward. There was no other way but to let newcomers who had no projects participate first.

Fan Jingang nodded, and thinking of Han Tao's suggestion during the morning call, he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Han had a good suggestion earlier. He said that Professor Dong could serve as a consultant for this R&D team."

Hearing this, Ye Jinyan's eyes lit up, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "The proposal is indeed very good, but I'm afraid that Professor Dong will look down on a project like the library.

As you know, Professor Dong is very prestigious in the field of architecture. We had to go through a lot of trouble to hire him for the previous Songjiang project."

"I think there's a chance. Don't forget Miss Nansun, she's Professor Dong's student. And Wang Yongzheng, the one Daisy recommended, is also Professor Dong's student. We have a lot of collaborative projects with their department, so I think we can give it a try."

“Well, you can definitely try it!”

Ye Jinyan nodded and said, "If we can invite Professor Dong to be a consultant for this project, the success rate of the library project will be greatly improved. Okay, Jiang Nansun will go and invite Professor Dong, and you will accompany them to discuss it."

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Miss Nansun about this. Zhu Suosuo has gone to get your breakfast, and it will be delivered soon."

After saying that, Fan Jingang turned and left Ye Jinyan's office and went to the design department to find Jiang Nansun.

........................

At the same time, Xie Jiayin, the president of Xie Group, received a call and her lips trembled with anger. It took her a long time to calm down before she picked up the phone again, found Ye Jinyan's number and dialed it.

It turned out that the Xie Group had recently begun to face a financial crisis and was in urgent need of help from the Zhao Group. It was for this reason that she arranged for her son Xie Hongzu to be engaged to Zhao Malin, the daughter of the Zhao Group, in an attempt to use the marriage to help the company overcome its difficulties.

However, Xie Hongzu had no idea about the situation of his company. The Xie Group started out as an air-conditioning company, but in recent years, his mother Xie Jiayin saw that real estate companies were getting more and more expensive, and housing prices were getting higher day by day, so she blindly entered the real estate industry.

However, Xie Jiayin had no idea that the real estate industry, while seemingly flourishing, was actually far from perfect. Especially after the financial crisis and the sudden stock market crash, many companies, including banks, tightened their lending, and the real estate industry was also affected.

When other real estate companies develop projects, except for the initial investment in land, which is made with real money, all subsequent project developments are carried out with bank loans, so their investment risks are much smaller.

However, Xie Jiayin thought that her company was working on real estate projects, which she was relatively familiar with, so she dove headfirst into commercial real estate. In order to make a fortune, she even poured a lot of Xie Group's funds into it.

Therefore, after the stock market turmoil and the cooling of real estate sales, the Xie family suffered a great blow. Not only did the market value shrink severely, but there were also problems with capital recovery, which led to the fact that they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

The most important thing is that the real estate industry has passed the era of wild growth. When various real estate companies begin to operate in a refined manner and focus on brand quality, an outsider who wants to come in and grab a piece of the pie will inevitably face tests and suppression from other real estate companies.

Xie's is one of the top companies in Shanghai in the home appliance industry, but it is a complete novice in the real estate industry. It is okay to develop a community and give it as an incentive to middle and senior management and employees, but commercial real estate is not that simple.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Jiayin chose to marry into the Zhao Group in order to leverage the power of the Zhao family. In addition to the bridge payment, it is also because the Zhao family is also a large company in the real estate industry, which can help her company turn the crisis around as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Xie Hongzu had no idea of ​​her mother's painstaking efforts. In order to pursue Zhu Suosuo, he secretly broke off his engagement with Zhao Malin.

This made the head of the Zhao Group very angry. He seriously questioned Xie Jiayin and proposed to terminate the cooperation.

It was when Xie Jiayin found her at Zhao's house that she realized that her son had caused such a big disaster all for a female real estate salesperson.

In order to make Xie Hongzu give up this absurd and ridiculous idea, Xie Jiayin directly called Ye Jinyan to make an appointment, wanting Ye Jinyan to transfer Zhu Suosuo to work in another place. In this way, Xie Hongzu would not be able to see her, the novelty would wear off, and he would not be so willful.

To express her gratitude, she promised that Jingyan Group would have discounts on air conditioner purchases for all future real estate projects, and that in addition to enjoying the lowest market price, they could also get a 3% discount.

When Ye Jinyan heard that Xie Jiayin was looking for him not because of business, but because of Xie Hongzu pursuing Zhu Suosuo, he had no interest in continuing the conversation.

He originally thought that Xie Jiayin called for help, but he didn't expect it was for something like playing house with children, which was simply nonsense.

Xie Jiayin, who did not get a satisfactory response, thought for a long time after hanging up the phone. She asked her secretary to prepare the car and then hurried to Jingyan Group, intending to meet Ye Jinyan in person.

Chapter 404 Zhu Suosuo’s New Job

At the same time, Zhu Suosuo had finished her morning shift, but was sent out to buy coffee. When her employees saw her, their eyes were flashing with gossip.

Recently, many people have confirmed that Zhu Suosuo and Xie Hongzu do not have a relationship, otherwise Xie Hongzu would not have gone to so much trouble to pursue her and send flowers to the company every day.

In addition, according to April, who was newly transferred to the position of administrative secretary of CLO, Zhu Suosuo is very likely the girlfriend of their boss. Although Mr. Han did not come forward to confirm it, he did not deny it either, which made everyone even more curious.

Fortunately, this matter involved Han Tao, and Secretary Fan specially held a meeting. No one dared to discuss it in the company. As for the fact that employees in a company are not allowed to have romantic relationships, everyone remained silent.

After all, this rule was set by Mr. Ye. If the big boss didn't say anything, who would be so bored as to stroke the tiger's beard? If this happened to anyone else, they would have been fired long ago, but in the case of Zhu Suosuo, not only was she spared, she was even transferred to the president's office as an assistant.

Zhu Suosuo didn't care what these people thought. On the way back with coffee, she greeted everyone as usual. However, when she passed by the sales department, she was stopped by April who came out of the tea room:

"Suosuo, aren't you Mr. Ye's assistant? Why do you have to do something as trivial as buying coffee?"

Hearing her ask this, Zhu Suosuo grumbled in a low voice: "Don't mention it. It was arranged by that fathead Fan Jingang. My life is so hard. I may have to do odd jobs like serving tea and pouring water during this period."

April smiled slightly and joked, "Stop joking. With Chairman Han's relationship, Boss Ye won't treat you unfairly.

You are Zhu Suosuo, and I believe you will surpass Fan Jingang and beat him to the ground on the beach. Don't forget to take care of us old friends when the time comes."

"Of course, look at Big Wave. With my natural beauty and good manners, I'm more pleasing to the eye than just looking at Fan Jingang!"

As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo playfully flirted with her, making April laugh. Then she continued, "By the way, have you seen Lao Yang? I wonder how the handover went for him?"

"I arrived early. Director Han had something to give him, so I went to talk to him for a while. However, the new sales manager just went to see him, so I left."

After hearing April's answer, Zhu Suosuo nodded and asked curiously, "How is it? I heard that the new sales manager is a woman?"

"Well, not only is she a woman, but she's also a very beautiful woman. How can I put my face like this? And I heard that Maria is said to be very capable. Fortunately, I have been transferred to Director Han's office. From now on, you, as the queen, have to help your sisters!"

"No problem. If anyone dares to bully you, just fight back. We are good sisters from the sales department and we won't be bullied anywhere!"

As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo cockily raised her neck and continued, "Okay, let's talk about this later. I'll go check on Lao Yang."

"Go ahead, go ahead. I guess the new sales manager should have left by now."

April waved her hand and followed Zhu Suosuo out of the tea room door, walking away in her high heels.

Zhu Suosuo quickly walked into Yang Ke's office, which was not far from General Manager Ye's office. It was the deputy general manager's office where Yang Ke had only stayed for a few days. At this moment, he was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Knocking on the glass door with her fingers, Zhu Suosuo looked at Yang Ke, who had come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Old Yang, congratulations on your promotion. From now on, you will be the new president of Longi. It will be easy to meet you!"

"Yes, I just took over Longi, and Chairman Han and President Ye are both waiting for me to show results. Now there are a lot of people and things waiting for me to deal with."

Yang Ke was genuinely happy. He could finally let go and work freely. However, he still felt a little emotional when he thought about leaving soon.

"I really miss the old days. At least I didn't have to worry about so much. I just had to help you sell the house. Now, I have to worry about everything. And without you guys chattering around, it's really hard to get used to it."

Zhu Suosuo smiled and said, "Sister Qing went with you, so why don't I be your assistant? You always felt that you were a hero but had no place to use your talents. Now you are going to do something big. I am willing to learn from you. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Yang Ke shook his head: "Old Ye wants to train you, how can I compete with the big boss for people?"

"Don't mention it. It's my first day on the job, and Fan Jingang has already given me eighty-nine rules. Look, after getting breakfast for Mr. Ye, he asked me to go get coffee. I feel like I'm just a handyman!"

"You're just doing this? How can Fan Jingang not learn it well? He learns quickly when he orders people around. Besides, you're Mr. Han's man, so this shouldn't happen."

As he spoke, Yang Ke looked at Zhu Suosuo doubtfully. After thinking about it, he hesitated and said:

"Okay, stick with me for a month. If I still let you do this, I'll talk to Chairman Han and Old Ye and ask them to let you come with me to the new company."

"Then it's settled. Compared to studying with Fan Jingang, I would rather study with you."

"Don't worry, I've never broken my promise. If you're still doing odd jobs after a month, I'll come and snatch you away myself!"

As soon as Yang Ke finished speaking, before Zhu Suosuo could respond, Fan Jingang rushed into Yang Ke's office and said with suppressed displeasure:

"Zhu Suosuo, what did I tell you? Did I ask you to go buy coffee? Why didn't you come back to see me? Instead, you came to Manager Yang, no, President Yang. What are you doing here?"

Zhu Suosuo smiled awkwardly and stood up, saying, "We won't be working together anymore, so I came in to take a look while Mr. Yang was here to hand over the work.

Besides, my old boss has become the CEO of a subsidiary, so I have to congratulate him no matter what. Otherwise, I’ll be seen as an ungrateful person, right, Secretary Fan?”

Fan Jingang ignored Zhu Suosuo and looked at Yang Ke: "Boss Yang, I've taken my people away!"

After saying that, Fan Jingang turned around and snorted, then said unhappily: "Okay, Zhu Suosuo, come back with me and don't disturb Mr. Yang from doing his work!"
