Since he only had to go to the company on Monday, Lu Chengyu went to buy some clothes suitable for the workplace, and then bought a lot of Huading International stocks. In the end, there was only about 50,000 left in his bank card. He regarded this money as a guarantee for his daily life and did not touch it again.
Huading’s current stock price had almost become a joke in the stock market. Many investors were eager to sell their stocks. That’s why Lu Chengyu bought so many stocks at an ultra-low price. Otherwise, how could he make money with all his money? Just buy so much. If it weren’t for the lack of money on hand, he would have bought all the stocks he could.
In the evening, he cooked a bowl of instant noodles and finished it with a slurp. He then accidentally remembered the two lottery tickets he had bought, so he took them out to claim the prizes. He could remember this set of numbers, not because of his incredible IQ, but because the order of the winning numbers was so special. It went smoothly.
“06081133” He threw his chopsticks into the bowl, chanting the number, and looked up the lottery number on the Internet. Although he was familiar with this number, it didn’t mean it would be the winning number for this issue, so he didn’t take it seriously. But when he clicked on the winning number, he was stunned.
After looking at the lottery draw date and the number on his lottery ticket nearly ten times in disbelief, he held the sports lottery in his hand tremblingly, “Really… won?”
After being hungry for several days, he was already desperate. But there appeared a table full of dishes in front of him suddenly, which really made people doubt that this was a dream.
Shivering and pinching his thigh, Lu Chengyu almost ecstatically took a sip of the drink next to the computer and began to check the winning amount of each bet. After looking at it, he shuddered a few more times, and found out that the winning amount of each special prize was unexpectedly more than 5.9 million.
He bought a total of four sports lottery bets, which meant that the winning amount was nearly 24 million. After deducting the 20% tax, there would still be about 19 million left. This unexpected fortune stunned him. He had never seen so much money in his previous life even until his death.
He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. Lu Chengyu then tried his best to calm down. It was best not to tell anyone about winning the lottery. When he would go to receive the prize tomorrow, he had better dress in a low-key manner. Although there may not necessarily be tabloid reporters squatting at the door, but his previous life experience told him that it was better to be cautious and not to reveal your wealth. If it was exposed, it would be a waste.
After lying in bed until midnight before falling asleep, Lu Chengyu took a taxi to the prize redemption center early the next morning, got the winning cheque as quickly as possible, and then left the prize redemption center as quickly as possible and went to the bank to collect it. The entire amount on the cheque was transferred to a card. Touching the bank card he had just applied for, he took a long breath. After his previous life, he had already understood how important money and power were.
After returning home, he transferred a lot of stocks to the commission broker and almost spent all the money he had. Just when he owned nearly 3% of the shares, another force appeared on the stock market to buy a large number of individual stocks, and the move was very large. In just a few hours, Huading’s stock price rose all the way, making Huading’s share price soar. Investors who held Huading shares were overjoyed. Although some people wanted to observe the stock price for a few more days before deciding whether to sell or not, but thinking of Huading’s current situation, they sold their individual shares after a few hesitations, just for peace of mind.
Lu Chengyu understood that someone was deliberately buying Huading’s shares. He didn’t know which side of Huading’s internal power it was. Judging from Huading’s future development, the person who made the move was most likely Huading’s new president.
He had no intention of competing with this force, and his financial resources were not as strong as the other party’s, so he stopped buying stocks. It was enough to keep the 3% share in his heart.
“I didn’t expect that at this time, there would be other people buying a lot of our Huading stocks,” Cao Jingshen looked at the Huading stock market trading volume on the computer and frowned, “I thought it was someone maliciously controlling the stock, but after we took action and the stock price rose a lot, he stopped buying. Could it be that he was really a stock investor who had confidence in our Huading and came out to pick up the slack?”
The man sitting next to him looked at the transaction volume, thought for a moment, and confirmed that this was just an accident, and said: “Don’t worry, go ahead and buy as much as you can. I don’t want to tolerate those people anymore. Huading is too big, and there are many people. It’s enough that its power is in the hands of one person.”
Cao Jingshen stopped talking at the moment and moved his fingers rapidly on the computer. The outcome of this stock market war had long been decided. Those opponents wanted to bring down the boss and made these stupid moves. Now it was not certain who would bring down whom.
On Monday, the weather was sunny. Lu Chengyu got up with difficulty, washed up, went downstairs to have breakfast at a breakfast shop outside the community, and squeezed into the bus.
When he arrived at Huading Headquarters, it was still fifteen minutes before work time. When he arrived at the Human Resources Department, the people from the Human Resources Department had not yet arrived. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. At this time, it was less than five minutes before work time. It seemed that many employees within Huading also had problems.
The half-bald deputy director of human resources saw Lu Chengyu when he arrived. He nodded with satisfaction. He was a very sensible young man. He neither rushed to the company early to appear immature nor late. This approach was just right for new employees.
He pushed open the door of his office, glanced at several employees in the public office area, and said with a smile: “Xiao Lu is here, come in with me.”
Lu Chengyu recognized this person as one of the interviewers and glanced at the job badge on his chest, he turned out to be Du Peng, Deputy Minister of Personnel.
“Sit down,” Du Peng used a paper cup to get a glass of water from the water dispenser for Lu Chengyu. After he sat down, he put it in front of him and said, “The company is planning to keep you at the headquarters as an intern for a period of time, and then continue to arrange your specific position.”
Lu Chengyu picked up the paper cup and thanked him, took a sip before putting it down. But when he heard Du Peng say this, he didn’t rush to speak and waited for Du Peng’s next words.
“Because the company recruits very few college students like you, there is no training class. However, it is not that important whether there is a training class. The most important thing for young people is to be willing to study hard.” Du Peng saw Lu Chengyu’s calm expression and didn’t know what he was thinking for a moment, but he thought it was Lu Chengyu’s respect for him, so he spoke very politely, “The company values young and promising talents like you very much. The company provides free employee meals at noon, and if you work overtime, there is also extra overtime pay which only requires you signing an employee contract with the company, as well as various insurance and security payments. So, you have to believe in the company’s sincerity.” After that, he took out the internship contract from the drawer.
Lu Chengyu carefully read the contract in his hand, and just when Du Peng thought he had more questions to ask, he took out his pen and signed his name on the contract.
Du Peng looked at the flowing signatures on the contract and was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “The words are beautifully written, and the person is just like his writing. Xiao Lu is a talented person.”
“Minister Du, you are too polite,” Lu Chengyu divided the two contracts, handed one copy to Du Peng with both hands, and kept one for himself. He hesitated for a moment, “I don’t know which department I have to report to today.”
“Secretary Cao has a lot of things going on recently. You are all graduates of Q University, why not just go and study under him.” Du Peng put the contract away with a smile and handed him a work badge. “Secretary Cao is on the 23rd floor. That’s the secretarial department. You can go and report now.”
Lu Chengyu accepted. He nodded after receiving the work badge and politely left the office. After entering the elevator, he looked at the work badge in his hand. It had his photo and name on it, and his position was assistant to the secretary-general. If you get assigned as an assistant to a secretary, wasn’t that the secretary’s secretary?
It seemed that this Secretary Cao should be the secretary of someone from the senior management, and he was probably from the new president’s faction, so the personnel department assigned him, a newly recruited person, to this person. Those in the human resources department were probably the legendary wallflowers who would fall wherever the wind blew. The old school people also looked down on inexperienced graduates like himself, so even though two newcomers were hired in the end of this interview, no one from above was in charge.
To put it in a harsh way, people looked down on graduates like them who had no ability. If they had that kind of spirit, they might as well fight to the death with other people.
The elevator stopped at the 18th floor, and two clerks with documents in their hands walked in. When they saw the button for the 23rd floor was on, they looked back at Lu Chengyu and closed the elevator door.
The 23rd floor arrived quickly. Lu Chengyu pinned his work badge to his left chest and walked calmly on the bright and clean floor. He hadn’t gone far when he saw the office with the sign of Secretary General’s Office. So he stepped forward and gently knocked three times.
“Please come in.” The voice coming from inside was relatively young, probably no more than thirty years old.
Gently opening the door, Lu Chengyu saw a man of about thirty years old, wearing a suit, reading documents at his desk. There was also a laptop and some information scattered on the desk. At first glance, it made people feel… very anxious and busy.
“Are you the new intern, Lu Chengyu?” Cao Jingshen looked up and saw a young man who looked like a model standing at the door. He frowned slightly, “First, let’s get familiar with your work process and your seating location is the No. 5 cubicle outside, the company has a meeting in the afternoon. You come with me.” He found a folder from the table. “These are the contents of the afternoon meeting. Take a look.”
Lu Chengyu took the files, found that the folder was a bit heavy, and glanced at Secretary-General Cao. This person probably had an opinion on his appearance?
“I understand, I’ll take a good look at it later.” After putting the documents away, seeing that the other party seemed to have nothing more to say, Lu Chengyu left the office, closed the door and found the cubicle marked No. 5 in the public office area outside, and after saying hello to the others, he sat down on the office chair.
The desk was clean and the computer looked new. He checked it after opening it and found that there was no malicious monitoring software or viruses in the computer. Well, it looked like the computer was as clean as the desk.
After going to the logistics department to get a set of common work tools, and tidying up his desk, Lu Chengyu began to understand his work content and studying the afternoon meeting materials.
The afternoon meeting was actually about personnel changes, and the changes were not small. Many people in high positions would be implicated. It seemed that the newly appointed CEO Yan was going to cut off all the cancers with ruthless measures.
According to rumors, CEO Yan himself was very calm and serious. He did not like to be interviewed by the media and did not like to play with celebrities. In his previous life, he had heard that an actress had used him to hype herself up. Since then, this actress had not been able to receive any interviews. A notice in the play showed that this person was acting well. Therefore, until the year of his death, this man was still the number one person on the Diamond King and National Father rankings.
Now that President Yan dared to hold such a meeting, it meant that he was already confident.
It seemed that the biggest storm in Huading was about to begin.
