Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 42 Zhu Suosuo Joins the Company
10:25 am, Jingyan Group Sales Department.
Under the leadership of Yang Ke, Zhu Suosuo, who had completed the onboarding process, began to enter the sales department's office area. Looking at the official employees of Jingyan Group busy around her, she secretly cheered herself up in her heart. With Mr. Yuan, she now has a formal job. Her wish since childhood is being realized step by step.
"I don't have time, please stop bothering me, I'm busy!"
"I absolutely won't let you go to play basketball, just have dinner and drink a couple of glasses of wine. If you agree, I'll give you 20% of the commission for this business. How about that?"
"Give me half of the commission, or no deal!"
"Okay, you're so ruthless, half is half. Go to the Park Hyatt Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight. Remember to dress sexy. Boss Wang is relying on you to take care of him!"
"Big wave, Mr. Wang is a sex-hungry ghost. Aren't you afraid that the meat bun will hit the dog and there will be no return?"
"Zhou Qing, stop scaring Da|bolang. I'm counting on her for this business!"
"Don't worry, I know Mr. Wang, and he has a tigress at home. He won't dare to do anything to me!"
Taking Zhu Suosuo into the sales office area, Yang Ke clapped his hands and said:
"Everyone, be quiet. Put down your work. Let me introduce you. This is Zhu Suosuo, our department's new intern. She's a fresh graduate!"
As soon as the words fell, a teasing voice sounded:
"I like female students who have just graduated from school, especially those who are elegant and dignified. Manager Yang, how about letting me take care of this beautiful intern?"
"What are you making fun of?"
Yang Ke cursed with a smile, then looked at Zhu Suosuo who was standing beside him and reminded him with a smile:
"Ms. Zhu, they will be your future colleagues. By the way, I still want to say one more thing. Although we are all colleagues working under the same roof, there are only so many houses and bonuses. You still have to rely on your own abilities to fight for them.
When you get to know each other well, you can arrange for dinner or coffee, but don't get too familiar with them, because if you open your heart to them, there will be a price to pay.
They won't be polite to you. They will grab the customers they want. It will be useless for you to cry to me. Whoever sells the house will get the bonus. Don't you agree?"
“Yes~~”
"Manager Yang is right. We all went through this. Friendship is friendship, and business is business!"
"Okay, let's get to know each other and say hello to Miss Zhu. Let's get started!"
After that, Yang Ke walked aside and pushed Zhu Suosuo behind him to the front of the stage. Everyone in the sales department began to introduce themselves one by one:
"Hello, Miss Zhu. My name is April. They all call me Big Wave. You can call me whatever you want. Also, we are not scary. We are a united, positive, energetic and progressive group of friends. You are welcome to join us!"
"Manager Yang tells every new employee the same thing. Just get used to it. I'm Zhou Qing, welcome!"
"My name is Tony. I swear I don't know how to do beauty and hairdressing. Of course, if I want to sell houses, I can also become Tony, a beauty and hairdressing teacher. Welcome to join the sales department of Jingyan Group!"
…
After everyone introduced themselves one by one, Tony looked at Yang Ke and said:
"Manager Yang, I'm short of people. How about letting me take care of Miss Zhu?"
Without waiting for Yang Ke to respond, Big Wave on the side immediately retorted:
"Forget it now. Just finish your work. Miss Zhu is young and pretty. You can tell from her looks that she is in the same group with me!"
After that, she looked at Yang Ke who was sitting across from her and said:
"Manager Yang, tell me, am I right? Leave Miss Zhu to me, I will help her sell the house!"
Seeing that others were also vying to take Zhu Suosuo with them, Yang Ke immediately stopped them and said:
"Okay, stop fighting. I'll take her to sell the house myself. Miss Zhu is the apprentice assigned to me by Old Ye. Forget about it!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Suosuo and said:
"Come on, follow me, I'll show you around other departments!"
"Goodbye, everyone!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo following Yang Ke out of the sales office area and disappearing into the corridor, Tony imitated Yang Ke's walking and joked:
"He's trying to steal my man. Look at his behavior. He's so arrogant. You can take him away if you want!"
Seeing Tony's funny appearance of deliberately playing the clown, a male colleague sighed:
"She's so pretty. If Manager Yang hadn't said he would take care of her himself, I would have been tempted to snatch her away. Such a pretty girl, and a recent college graduate, is what rich CEOs like. It will definitely be easy to sell a house!"
Da|bolang rolled his eyes at him and said in a mocking tone:
"You are so disgusting. He is a fresh graduate and an intern who knows nothing. If I leave him to you, I don't know what will happen to him.
Besides, didn't you hear what Manager Yang said? Miss Zhu is the boss's person. If you dare to use her, you will be kicked out by the boss!"
Seeing that the big wave was directed at him, the male colleague who was mocked immediately retorted:
"I am disgusted, aren't you disgusted too ? In order to sell the house, you have to kowtow to those rich people. On the surface, you accompany them for meals and drinks, but who knows what you do behind the scenes!"
"You're going too far!"
Zhou Qing stood up and glared at the male colleague who was being mocked.
"You know your own situation. We all know what kind of person Da|bolang is. If you continue to argue, I will report it to Manager Yang and President Ye. Then you will be fired from the group and become notorious in this industry!"
"you……"
Seeing that the male colleague who was being ridiculed wanted to say more, Tony on the side immediately stood up and laughed it off:
"Forget it, we are all colleagues, so let's keep quiet. Just now we were acting so united and friendly in front of the newcomer, but now we are being so confrontational. It would be embarrassing if others saw us like this!"
Zhou Qing rolled her eyes at Tony and said nothing more. She walked over to Da|bolang and comforted him:
"Apel, I know you care about new employees, especially young and beautiful girls. Don't worry. Miss Zhu is not a pushover. She has the support of President Ye and Manager Yang. She will not suffer any loss in Jingyan Group. She is many times better than when we first came here!"
Hearing this, April walked back to his workstation and said with a smile:
"Sister Zhou, I'm fine. I've been told this more than once or twice. I've gotten used to it. Girls in our line of work, especially beautiful and sexy women like me, as long as I sell a house, there will always be some shady people who use their dirty and vulgar thoughts to speculate on my efforts!"
After that, without waiting for Zhou Qing to respond, she continued with a smile:
"I want to take Miss Zhu to sell the house, not because I want to take care of her, but because I want her to take care of me. Since I can't rely on a man, I can find a woman to rely on.
I think Miss Zhu is elegant and dignified, and she is wearing famous brands, especially the deep sea sapphire on her neck. I have noticed it in fashion magazines a long time ago, but unfortunately I can't afford it. How can such a person care about the commission earned from selling a house ? "
"April, you are so smart!"
Zhou Qing shook her head slightly and laughed, and stopped talking to Appledo. She walked back to her workstation, picked up the phone, and began to contact potential customers one by one. Next month, Dongli Community will be officially opened for sale, and she wants to strive for the best sales award of the month to leave a strong mark on her resume.
Time passed, and it was 11:45 am in the cafeteria of Jingyan Group.
While leading Zhu Suosuo to line up for food, Yang Ke reminded her:
"In Jingyan Group, no matter what position you hold, as long as you come to the cafeteria to eat, you must queue up properly. You cannot cut in line, nor can you let others cut in line. This is President Ye's rule, and you must remember it firmly!"
Zhu Suosuo looked at the Jingyan Group work card hanging around her neck and asked:
"If Mr. Ye comes to the cafeteria to eat, will he also queue up by himself?"
"Of course, this is a rule he made himself, he will definitely abide by it!"
Yang Ke nodded slightly, then changed the subject:
"However, he usually doesn't come to the cafeteria to eat. Fan Jingang always asks the chef in the cafeteria to deliver the food to his office!"
After that, he whispered in Zhu Suosuo's ear:
"Old Ye is just being pretentious. He comes to the cafeteria to eat every month just for show, but secretly he asks the chef in the cafeteria to cook for him every day. He eats much better than us!"
“Ahem…”
As soon as he entered the cafeteria and started queuing for food, he heard Yang Ke saying bad things about Mr. Ye. Fan Jingang coughed and deliberately said loudly:
"Manager Yang, how can you say that Mr. Ye is being hypocritical? Mr. Ye also eats the same working meals as the rest of us at Jingyan Group. It's nonsense to say that he has a special meal.
I really can't stand you saying bad things about Mr. Ye behind his back. It's simply disrespectful and ungentlemanly. I'm so disappointed in you. Mr. Ye thinks so highly of you..."
Seeing that Fan Jingang started to chatter again, Ye Jinyan immediately stopped him and said:
"Okay, I'm not deaf, just shut up! I didn't hear what Yang Ke said, but you kept talking a lot of gibberish. It's totally incomprehensible!"
After saying that, he looked at Yang Ke and Zhu Suosuo and said:
"Yang Ke, who is this lady...?"
Seeing that Ye Jinyan didn't know Zhu Suosuo, Yang Ke was a little surprised and said:
"Boss Ye, this is Zhu Suosuo, the intern you asked me to take care of. How come you...?"
"oh!"
Ye Jinyan suddenly realized, looked at Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"So you are Zhu Suosuo. I finally meet you in person today. Hello, Miss Zhu. I am Ye Jinyan. Welcome to join the big family of Jingyan Group!"
"Hello, Mr. Ye, thank you for allowing me to intern at Jingyan Group!"
After that, she looked at Ye Jinyan, Fan Jingang, and Yuan Xudong who was at the end of the line and winked at her.
"Boss Ye, you guys come to the cafeteria to eat too. Tell me what you want to eat, I'll treat you!"
“Ahem…”
Seeing Zhu Suosuo invited Ye Jinyan to dinner without permission, Yang Ke couldn't help but cough to remind her to pay attention. Unexpectedly, Zhu Suosuo looked at him and said with concern:
"Manager Yang, is your throat uncomfortable? I suggest you eat some bitter melon at noon. When my throat is uncomfortable, I eat some bitter melon and it gets better!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's serious expression, Yang Ke smiled awkwardly and whispered:
"My life is bitter enough now, why should I eat bitter melon? Just wait until you have your bitter time!"
After glaring at Zhu Suosuo, Fan Jingang looked at Ye Jinyan and explained:
"Boss Ye, I don't mean to say bad things about you. I just heard Manager Yang say bad things about you, and then I just repeated what he said!"
After hearing Fan Jingang's explanation, Ye Jinyan rolled his eyes and said:
"Okay, I get it. Who doesn't get talked about behind their back? Who doesn't talk about others behind their back? If you have Yang Ke's ability, you are welcome to scold me anytime!"
Hearing this, Fan Jingang remained silent, and Yang Ke also said with embarrassment:
"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry. Miss Zhu and I were just joking!"
"It's okay, it's no big deal!"
Ye Jinyan waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"Like I said, as long as you have the ability to create value for the company, I don't mind you scolding me. What's more, what you said is not slander. I did ask the chef in the cafeteria to cook special meals for me, haha!"
“Haha~~”
Seeing Ye Jinyan laughing, Fan Jingang and Yang Ke also laughed. Yuan Xudong also had a smile on his face. Only Zhu Suosuo looked confused, not knowing what was so funny!
She looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Mr. Yuan, what do you want to eat? I'll pay for it!"
As Zhu Suosuo spoke, she raised her Jingyan Group work card hanging around her neck to Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"I topped up 200 yuan in it. There are five of us in total, so 40 yuan per person should be enough for food!"
"Please order three servings of leeks and tofu for us, and for the rest, just choose the normal work meals!"
After saying that, Yuan Xudong looked at Ye Jinyan and Fan Jingang and said:
"Boss Ye, Secretary Fan, do you think this is ok?"
Fan Jingang wanted to say something, but Ye Jinyan decided directly:
"No problem, let Miss Zhu spend the money!"
"It's okay, it's just a meal!"
Zhu Suosuo said modestly, then went to the window to queue up for food. Yang Ke followed behind her and asked in a low voice:
"What is your relationship with Mr. Ye? Why would he agree to let you treat him to a meal, especially such a cheap working meal? Also, who is Mr. Yuan to you?"
Then he said to himself:
"I haven't heard that Ye Jinyan likes to eat leeks and tofu. Is there something I don't know about Old Ye?"
Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo looked forward and responded casually:
"I don't know Mr. Ye. Mr. Yuan is my boyfriend. He knows Mr. Ye. He helped me find Mr. Ye to get this job!"
Yang Ke nodded slightly and said:
"I see. It seems your boyfriend is quite capable. Old Ye won't easily give face to others!"
Zhu Suosuo smiled and said nothing, thinking to herself, "Of course my boyfriend is capable. He will soon become your boss, and I will be your boss's wife." Thinking of this, even her worry about Jiang Nansun's mood improved a little.
…
Seeing Zhu Suosuo and Yang Ke queuing up for food, Ye Jinyan instructed Fan Jingang beside him:
"Fan Jingang, go help Miss Zhu and Yang Ke serve the dishes. Xiao Yuan and I will be waiting for you in the dining area!"
After that, without waiting for Fan Jingang to say anything, he led Yuan Xudong to the dining area not far away. The employees of Jingyan Group who were dining in the cafeteria were eating quietly, chewing slowly, for fear of making any noise. Ye Jinyan turned his head and looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Do you know why I don't like eating in the cafeteria?"
"certainly!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and smiled:
"General Manager Ye is still a caring employee!"
Ye Jinyan glanced at the flattering Yuan Xudong, shook his head and laughed:
"I'm just worried that they won't have enough to eat and won't have the energy to work in the afternoon. I can't say I'm considerate of my subordinates. Jingyan Group requires its employees to be as fierce as wolves and as cunning as foxes. We don't need quiet and obedient little white rabbits here, let alone good-for-nothing trash!"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong's mouth twitched and said:
"Boss Ye, why do I feel like you are scolding me? In my heart, I feel like I am useless. Apart from being rich, I am totally useless!"
“Haha~~”
Looking at the humorous and self-deprecating Yuan Xudong, Ye Jinyan said with a smile:
"Money makes the world go round. You can use other people's strengths for your own benefit. For Jingyan Group, it can survive without anyone except money!"
Walking to the dining area, Yuan Xudong looked for a relatively open spot while looking at Ye Jinyan and said with a smile:
"Boss Ye, is the Jingyan Group still the Jingyan Group after Ye Jinyan leaves?"
"certainly!"
Ye Jinyan nodded slightly and said:
"Like I said, Jingyan Group can survive without anyone, including me, Ye Jinyan. This is what I fight for and what I am proud of!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and stopped talking. The two of them found a few empty seats and sat down. After a while, Zhu Suosuo, Yang Ke and Fan Jingang came over with the food and sat down respectively.
Zhu Suosuo even sat directly next to Yuan Xudong, and the two of them were chatting, "You give me a piece of tofu, I'll give you a leek." Yang Ke's eyes twitched when he saw this. It was the first time he saw company employees showing affection in the cafeteria, and in front of the big boss Ye Jinyan.
Looking at the cute and lovely Zhu Suosuo, Ye Jinyan smiled and said:
"Ms. Zhu, I wonder what year your birthday is?"
Seeing Ye Jinyan asking about her birthday, Zhu Suosuo looked at him strangely and said:
"Mr. Ye, I was born on August 8, 1992!"
"August 8, 1992?"
Ye Jinyan murmured to himself, looked at Zhu Suosuo with a slightly absent-minded look and said:
"What a coincidence!"
Seeing Ye Jinyan's strange look, Zhu Suosuo asked:
"Boss Ye, what's such a coincidence?"
Ye Jinyan shook his head slightly and said:
"Nothing, let's eat!"
Seeing that Zhu Suosuo wanted to ask something, Yuan Xudong quickly picked up an egg and stuffed it into her mouth and said:
"Talk less, eat more!"
Zhu Suosuo ate the egg in her mouth while glaring at Yuan Xudong and said coquettishly:
"Mr. Yuan, I told you I don't like eggs!"
Hearing Zhu Suosuo's voice, Ye Jinyan glanced at the red coil on his wrist, and memories of the past emerged in his mind:
"Tuantuan, talk less and eat more!"
"Dad, I told you I don't like eggs!"
"Eggs are nutritious, eat more!"
"I won't eat it!"
Glancing at Zhu Suosuo who was staring at Yuan Xudong, Ye Jinyan muttered to himself:
"Tuan Tuan, they really look alike!"
…
In a corner of the restaurant, April and Zhou Qing sat opposite each other. After glancing at Zhu Suosuo, Ye Jinyan and others not far away, April looked at Zhou Qing who was sitting opposite him and gossiped:
"Sister Zhou, look over there. President Ye and Secretary Fan, as well as Manager Yang and Zhu Suosuo, and that handsome guy from before, they are sitting together eating and talking and laughing. I know Zhu Suosuo is not simple. Seeing how intimate she is with that handsome guy, they must be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. What a talented man and beautiful woman. I envy them to death!"
Looking at April who was in a state of excitement, Zhou Qing said calmly:
"The key is that Zhu Suosuo actually dared to be so intimate with her boyfriend in front of Mr. Ye. I knew she was not a soft persimmon. The sales department will be lively in the future. After all, a rich lady has come. It's a good opportunity to teach those people with ulterior motives a lesson. It would be best if we could let them pack up and get out as far away as possible!"
Looking at Zhu Suosuo and Yuan Xudong showing their affection, April sighed and said:
"What a pity! Our Jingyan Group does not allow office romances, and Zhu Suosuo is an intern in our sales department. That handsome guy will definitely not come to our Jingyan Group!"
Zhou Qing laughed softly:
"Why, he's Zhu Suosuo's boyfriend, are you attracted to him?"
Rolling his eyes at Zhou Qing who was making fun of him, April said as a matter of course:
"I have been working hard in Shanghai for so many years and have always been alone and helpless. Of course I hope there is a good man who can protect and take care of me. I really envy Zhu Suosuo for meeting such an outstanding man right after leaving school!"
"Not always!"
Zhou Qing shook her head slightly, with a hint of disdain on her lips.
"Men are not good people. If you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall. If you rely on people, they will run away. Women should rely on themselves for everything!"
Hearing this, April sneered and said:
"What about Manager Yang?"
Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said:
"Isn't Yang Ke a man?"
April didn't expect Zhou Qing to say that. He was stunned and speechless, and ended his lunch in silence.
