Chapter 468: Chapter 437: Chen Qiao Visits
Pu Tongren was standing at the reception, excitedly popping a champagne bottle, when suddenly someone ran up to him and whispered in his ear.
“President Pu, Chairman Chen is here!”
He was startled, put down the champagne in his hand, and looked at the employee who had come to report the news with a puzzled face, “Which Chairman Chen?”
“The Chairman of Shengda Group!”
The employee had a nervous expression, as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes occasionally stealing glances toward the door.
“Is it Old Mr. Chen or the younger one?”
Pu Tongren also turned and looked toward the main entrance.
“Of course, the one currently in office!” The employee shrank back, wanting to hide inside the company.
“Oh, if he’s come then let’s welcome him!” Pu Tongren suddenly understood, and at the same time, Chen Tian walked into Ideal Paradise with Zheng Shou swaggeringly accompanying him.
When Pu Tongren saw him, a bright smile immediately spread across his face, “Ah, what an honor! Chairman Chen graces us with his presence, my apologies for not greeting you from afar!”
At the same time, he signaled to the crowd around him with his eyes, “Everyone, let’s welcome Chairman Chen!”
The crowd came to their senses and began calling out with smiles:
“Welcome Chairman Chen!!!”
“Don’t be so formal, although we are from different companies, we’re almost like one big family, don’t be a stranger.”
Chen Tian, too, had a smiling face, and the first thing he did upon arriving was to shake hands with Pu Tongren.
Their palms met in a handshake, smile facing smile, they seemed to have a very good relationship.
However, before this, Pu Tongren had never actually met Chen Qiao, even though he had a close relationship with Old Mr. Chen.
“Haha, having Chairman Chen here today truly brings light to our humble place!”
Pu Tongren said, laughing heartily as they released hands.
Having managed the sales department for so long, he had become completely open-minded, not feeling the slightest bit inferior upon meeting Chen Qiao.
“Hey, don’t call me Chairman Chen, just call me Old Chen; don’t be a stranger, we’re all family here.”
Chen Qiao chuckled as he shook his head.
When he mentioned ‘family’, his glance subtly swept over the faces of Pu Tongren’s surrounding group.
For he had spotted several familiar faces – although they had barely spoken, he could recognize that these people were originally employees of Shengda Game.
He hadn’t been to the subsidiary for just one week, and these guys had already run off! Their actions were indeed fast; they must have quit without notice.
Just how good were the benefits and treatment at Ideal Paradise that these people preferred to resign without notice to join them!?
He felt a mix of annoyance and curiosity in his heart; Shengda’s compensation package might not be the best in the industry, but it was certainly among the top.
For these employees to resign without hesitation and join Ideal Paradise, this place surely must have offered them a substantial deal.
“Haha, definitely family. Then from now on, I’ll call you Chen, let’s leave out the ‘old’, you’re still young!”
Pu Tongren responded with a laugh, his words brimming with pleasantries.
“Boss, the logistics department needs you to arrange for a few people to help with purchasing stuff for tonight’s gathering,” Qin Shan said as he walked out from the company, munching on an apple.
“Eh! Aren’t you! You are…? So familiar, have I seen you somewhere before?” Qin Shan suddenly noticed Chen Qiao standing in front of his boss, feeling that he looked very familiar but couldn’t recall who he was right away.
Chen Qiao’s expression became somewhat awkward; he hadn’t expected that there would still be someone in the business circles of Modu who didn’t recognize him.
Pu Tongren noticed Chen Qiao’s discomfort and quickly explained to Qin Shan, “This is Chairman Chen! The Chairman of Shengda Group!” while casting an expectant glance at Qin Shan.
Qin Shan immediately got the hint, slapped his forehead as though realizing suddenly, “Oh – it’s Chairman Chen! I knew it, the moment I saw you I felt you looked familiar! A leading figure in the internet enterprise world!”
Qin Shan subtly delivered his flattery without changing his tone.
Chen Qiao indeed fit the bill well, even though his chin had already lifted slightly, he still pretended to be modest, “That’s all just an empty reputation, sooner or later, you all will be like me.”
“The current times need young and promising youths like yourselves to lead the trends,” he said.
Chen Qiao’s remarks were brimming with pleasantries, even implicitly assuming the role of a senior.
After all, the combined ages of Pu Tongren and Qin Shan were probably just about equal to his own.
There was no problem with him saying this.
This was also why he worried that Ideal Paradise might replace Shengda Game and even Shengda Group.
The people of Ideal Paradise were just too young, and no matter what, they were energetic!
In just a few months, Ideal Paradise had become a well-known internet company in Haidong District.
In that period, during private meetings of various corporate chairmen, he often heard the name of Ideal Paradise mentioned.
This company, which a few months ago was almost jokingly established, had now become a topic of discussion among billionaires.
This was quite surprising.
“Chen is joking, I’m afraid it would take us another decade to catch up to your pace,”
Pu Tongren said modestly, while extending his hand to invite Chen Qiao, “Let’s not just stand here, Chen, why don’t we go in and talk! I can even take the opportunity to introduce our company to you.”
“Good, then you’d better give me a thorough introduction of your company! You have no idea, your company has a big reputation in the circle of bosses!”
Chen Qiao smiled and nodded slightly, his eyes twinkling subtly.
He had come this time to personally see what kind of operational model Ideal Paradise actually used.
Because the ones previously sent over were either unreliable or had defected.
“Haha, please follow me,” Pu Tongren took a bottle of champagne and handed it to Qin Shan, asking him to lead the celebration with everyone, while he walked into the company with Chen Qiao.@@novelbin@@
Following Pu Tongren into the company interior, the first thing Chen Qiao saw was a row upon row of partitioned workstations.
The distance between the workstations was luxuriously spacious! Each workstation was nearly two meters apart, as if the company’s rent cost nothing.
Most workstations were empty at that moment, with everyone outside celebrating, but there was still a small number of people busily passing various documents back and forth.
“Chen, this is our company’s marketing department,” Pu Tongren said simply, and then clapped his hands, “Everyone, stop what you’re doing for a moment and welcome Chairman Chen from Shengda to our company for an inspection!”
Everyone looked up, saw Pu Tongren and Chen Qiao, put down what they were doing, and clapped their hands with smiles, shouting, “Welcome, Chairman Chen!”
In what should have been a happy moment, Chen Qiao simply couldn’t smile, because he saw a very familiar face.
That person was hiding in a corner workstation, looking down, and sneakily watching him.
“Luo Fa, there’s no need to hide from me, I won’t say anything about you.”
Chen Qiao raised his hand to signal everyone to stop clapping, and then strode towards the workstation in the corner.
The employee called out by name stopped hiding, stood up with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and greeted Chen Qiao.
“Chairman, what brings you here…”
Chen Qiao gave a wry smile and quirked his lips, “Heh, of course I’m here to see how my former ace marketer is doing at his new employer’s.”
“So, how is it? Ideal Paradise or Shengda, which do you think is better?” Chen Qiao asked directly, diving into a touchy subject.
“This… I…”
Luo Fa looked astonished, then his face turned embarrassed, and he stammered, unsure of how to reply.
He glanced at the colleagues he had worked with for a few days, and then at Pu Tongren, who was watching this scene, his gaze slowly becoming resolute.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said to Chen Qiao, “Chairman Chen, I think Ideal Paradise suits me better.”
