The plan had been approved by Yan Mu, and now no one dared to oppose Yan Mu’s opinion in Huading. So in the meeting to prepare for production, although some people were worried that this kind of new product would not be able to open up the market, the proposal was finally passed at the meeting.
Then they found that one of the persons in charge of this product development was a college student who had just graduated, so some people opposed such a person being the person in charge. However, after this young man’s speech, their opposition gradually disappeared, and they even had a faint idea that the young were really formidable.
Lu Chengyu had expected that someone would object, so the speech was prepared long ago. After the speech and the meeting, he closed the notebook in his hand and left the meeting room with the shareholders. He listened to the shareholders’ praise along the way. But he remained humble, which further improved the favorability of many people.
Cao Jingshen noticed that the notebook Lu Chengyu used today was not the one provided by the company, but one he had never seen before. Judging from the shell, it should be the one Lu Chengyu used before. It seemed that Lu Chengyu had expected that there would be opposition and had already thought about the content of the speech, so today’s speech could be so wonderful and perfect.
Fortunately, such a talent was from his own company. If it was from a rival company, it would be a real headache.
Back at his desk, Lu Chengyu took a teacup and went to the pantry to make a cup of tea. After taking a few sips, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and took out the data sheet he got from the sales logistics in the morning. He looked at it one by one and found that the order volume of Huading’s various products had gradually recovered recently, and even a lot of large orders had appeared. This showed that Huading’s market had gradually stabilized.
Looking at the stock price of Huading on the stock market, the stock price had been rising all the way, and now it had gradually calmed down. There would be no big risk in selling or buying. Although the stock price had risen a lot and Lu Chengyu would definitely make a lot of money if he sold the shares in his hands, he had no intention of selling.
After Flying Bird was released in theaters, he would have enough cash in his hands. He would then continue to buy some shares of Huading. When his shareholding exceeded 5%, he would become one of the major shareholders of Huading and have some decision-making power in Huading. He took a sip of the fragrant tea from the teacup. He knew that he was an ambitious person, and he did not intend to hide his ambition.
After closing the stock market webpage, Lu Chengyu continued to look at the sales data in his hand. The filming of Flying Bird only took two or three months to complete. What he was considering now was the issue of distribution. He had been in that circle and knew how many movies would be made every year, but not so many would be put on the big screen, just because of the review and theater issues.
Flying Bird did not have pornographic and anti-social content, so there should be no problem in passing the review. As for contacting the theaters… He touched his chin, wondering if Yan Mu had any way in this regard. More importantly, whether Yan Mu would help him with this.
July was the hottest month, and Lu Chengyu’s internship period had also come to an end. However, now the entire Huading headquarters knew that the company had a very remarkable intern who was not only outstanding in ability and appearance but was also responsible for the development of a new product for Huading.
No one knew what the specific content of the new product was, but many people heard that the boss was so amazed after reading the intern’s plan that he immediately signed a contract with the other party and even gave him 2% of the profit.
So when the internship period was over, everyone was very interested in the new position of this legendary intern. They wondered which department he would be assigned to?
In the president’s office, Lu Chengyu looked at the work contract in his hand, but did not sign his name, which attracted Cao Jingshen to look at him several times.
Yan Mu seemed much calmer than Cao Jingshen. He flipped through the documents in his hand with a normal look, but he read the documents a little faster than usual.
After a long time, Cao Jingshen finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you dissatisfied with the contract?”
“No, the terms of this contract are very generous. For a freshly graduated college student, such a high annual salary is already far beyond the average level.” Yan Mu’s salary for him was based on the standard of six or seven years of employment experience, and he also carefully listed the terms such as insurance and benefits, showing sincerity beyond common sense.
“In this case, you…” Cao Jingshen saw Yan Mu frown, so he didn’t say the rest of the words, but just looked at Lu Chengyu’s hand holding the pen, worried that he would not be willing to sign the contract.
Yan Mu raised his head and looked at Lu Chengyu and said seriously: “Huading will give you enough room for development, and I believe you will also bring development to Huading.”
This was equivalent to a promise, indicating that Lu Chengyu would be reused in Huading in the future. After listening to these words, he smiled, “I am ambitious, so I believe Huading will definitely realize my ambition.” He opened the pen cap and signed his name on the contract.
“Welcome to Huading officially,” Yan Mu stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Chengyu.
“Thank you for the opportunity, boss,” Lu Chengyu shook Yan Mu’s hand.
After a few seconds, they both let go of each other’s hands. Yan Mu made a gesture to Lu Chengyu to sit down, then after he sat down, he said, “Now other departments of the company have been replaced by new people. Your ability and vision are enough to prove that you don’t need to go to the lower departments to hone your skills. I am still short of an assistant. After a while, I plan to transfer you to a managerial position.”
Cao Jingshen looked at Yan Mu in surprise. Letting Lu Chengyu be the general manager of the head office was a bit too scary. Letting Lu Chengyu be the assistant to the president was probably just a stepping stone for Lu Chengyu being the general manager in the future. Although he knew that Lu Chengyu was indeed very capable, he had to say that the boss’s decision still surprised him a little. After all, this kind of job promotion had surpassed the default rules of the industry.
Planning to let a young man who just graduated from college serve as the general manager of such a large listed company, this kind of thing would not only be reported in financial newspapers, but also in entertainment news.
“I have had someone prepare your new office, it’s just to the right of my office,” Yan Mu continued without waiting for Lu Chengyu to speak, “Being my assistant may be harder than being Jingshen’s, and sometimes you have to work overtime, but I will give you the overtime pay.”
“The boss is working overtime, so of course I can’t get off work on time as an assistant,” Lu Chengyu replied, “I have the overtime pay, can I have an extra overtime meal?”
What Lu Chengyu meant by this was that he accepted the boss’s job arrangement? Cao Jingshen felt that he was a bit bad. The boss was bold enough to hire a newcomer, and the newcomer was also bold enough to accept it. Should he say that both of them were very confident, or should he say that he was making a fuss.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but push up his glasses. Although the boss was a bit rigorous and boring, he was indeed a man with vision and courage. When he recruited the manager and him into the company, he didn’t care about anything else, but only valued their abilities. Perhaps for the boss, other people’s vision was not important at all. What mattered was whether this person was worth it.
As long as Lu Chengyu had this value, it didn’t matter what school he had graduated from or how many years he had worked.
In any case, it was a blessing for employees to meet such a boss. In this circle, there were more bosses who were jealous of talents and still self-righteous than those who valued talents.
After Lu Chengyu left the president’s office, Cao Jingshen said, “He is very confident.”
“It is better to be confident than arrogant,” Yan Mu looked at the signed contract with Lu Chengyu’s name and date on it, “I will send a new assistant to you tomorrow.”
Cao Jingshen pushed his glasses, hesitated for a moment and said, “Boss, I learned something about Xiao Lu’s family a few days ago…”
Yan Mu looked at Cao Jingshen and frowned.
Cao Jingshen knew that Yan Mu didn’t like to talk about people behind their backs, but he gritted his teeth and told the story: “I looked at Lu Chengyu’s file a few days ago and found that his parents had died accidentally. I did a little research and found that his parents’ death was related to Liang’s Enterprise.” He admired Lu Chengyu, a young man, so when he said this, he subconsciously wanted Yan Mu to take care of Lu Chengyu at work. After all, Lu Chengyu would have to deal directly with the boss in the future.
“Liang?” Huading and Liang’s were rivals in the real estate sector. During this period, due to the internal turmoil in Huading, Liang’s had gained a lot of benefits.
“Xiao Lu passed his resume through Liang’s before, but later he did not attend the interview,” Cao Jingshen took off his glasses and wiped the dust off them, “I don’t know if it has anything to do with this.”
Yan Mu finally understood why his classmates said those strange words on the night Lu Chengyu got drunk, and why there were no signs of other people living in his house. He had already suspected something in his heart, and at this time, Cao Jingshen finally confirmed it.
“I know, don’t spread this matter.” If this kind of thing was made public, some people may sympathize, but it was inevitable that some people would treat this matter as a fun thing behind the scenes.
“Don’t worry, I won’t spread such things around,” Cao Jingshen put on his glasses, still looking like a social elite. He then sighed, “I just think that Lu Chengyu, this child has not had it easy.”
Yan Mu was silent for a long time: “You call someone who is only eight years younger than you a child, are you taking advantage of Lu Chengyu?” He glanced at Cao Jingshen’s face again, and was silent for a moment, “I was wrong, and it’s not taking advantage.”
Cao Jingshen’s expression froze, looking at Yan Mu’s expression as if he was looking at a dish he hated.
After Lu Chengyu returned to the office area of the secretariat downstairs, many people asked about his new position. He waved his hand and said, “My seniors are so wise. I have been retained by the boss in the head office. I will treat you tonight. Let’s go out for a meal together.”
Colleagues in the entire department immediately started to make a fuss and began to discuss where to eat. In the end, they decided to book a more upscale buffet restaurant, and they treated Lu Chengyu to a meal, calling it practice for him. Since the misunderstanding about buying a car was resolved, everyone knew that Lu Chengyu was not a rich second-generation. How much money could a college student who just started working have? They had all experienced the days when they just graduated, so although it was lively, they were very measured in doing things. What’s more, Lu Chengyu was promoted, not demoted, and they were happy to make friends with him.
Anyone who could get to this point must be knowledgeable and tactful, otherwise there was no need to stay in this office.
Lu Chengyu smiled and agreed. He knew in his heart that these people gave him face because they were not only tactful, but also because Yan Mu valued him.
If he was going to be sent to a branch company in another place soon, these people would not even think of inviting him to dinner. And if he invited these people to dinner, they would probably worry about owing a favor and make excuses not to go. He looked at the desk where he had been working for almost three months. Tomorrow he would move to the 28th floor, which represented the highest level, and his journey had just begun.
