Chapter 118: Blind Date
After the meeting, Zhang Ying took Cui Jing and Jiao Kai and began to enter a tense state of work, and Zhang Ying was in the middle of the schedule.
They all understand that the most fundamental problem for Zhou Nan to decentralize power to the greatest extent is to let them improve their work efficiency.
Zhou Nan finished talking to Zhang Ying separately about some details, some core management secrets that should not be mastered by Cui Jing and Jiao Kai, such as the high-level staffing of the next group company and the strategic direction of the group's operation, and so on.
Seeing that Zhou Nan was about to leave in a hurry, Zhang Ying hesitated, but still gently lowered his voice and said, "Nan, it's almost the Spring Festival, do you want to give everyone a bonus or red envelope or something?" ”
Zhou Nan was stunned, he had been so busy in the past two days, he had forgotten about this stubble.
So he smiled and said, "It's time to send it." You take the time to come up with a plan, starting with me, all the way to every ordinary employee, you must have a share, so that everyone can happily go home with the year-end bonus for a good year. However, during the Chinese New Year, the company can not stop production and work, and must arrange overtime personnel, and overtime pay will be paid in accordance with relevant national regulations. ”
Zhang Ying nodded, half-joking, "The money of the entire company belongs to you, the big boss, why do you want bonuses yourself?" ”
Zhou Nan smiled, "Take it back and hand it over, my mother's school wants to raise funds to build a house, and my family needs money." ”
Zhang Ying was stunned, "You didn't say it earlier, how much Auntie needs, from the company's account!" ”
"That's not going to work. Yingzi, you remember, our company is not easy to get to today, although it is a private enterprise, but it must also have a strict financial system, every penny of expenditure must be clear, everything in accordance with the system. Even if I'm the boss, I can't just take money from the company...... Otherwise, we would not be a company but a family workshop. Zhou Nan's face turned straight and said solemnly.
"Yes, I'm going to start preaching again, I'm just talking casually......" Zhang Ying pouted, "I saved some money, you can use it first." ”
Zhou Nan shook his head and smiled, "No, don't worry about it, my mother is not really short of money, she just wants to test me to see if I, the small boss who runs a company, really makes money...... By the way, Yingzi, I heard that Haihua is going bankrupt recently, do you want to dig up a few more people? ”
Zhang Ying sighed and said, "I've thought about this too, but---But people from state-owned enterprises, you know, are used to being lazy, and they will be very uncomfortable when they come to us......"
Zhang Ying didn't finish half of her words, but Zhou Nan already understood what she meant.
Although the people in the state-owned enterprises have the skills and know how to manage, they are idle in the state-owned enterprises, so these people come to the fast-paced Feiteng company -- she is not easy to manage. Even with Cui Jing and Jiao Kai, she patiently ran in with them for a long time, and then she slowly got on the road.
Thinking about what Zhang Ying was worried about, Zhou Nan didn't think about it anymore, it was just a flash of inspiration, and he didn't really have to poach people from Haihua.
*********************************
That night, Zhou Nan went to Meng's house to tutor Chen Xi. It's almost the Spring Festival, and Chen Xi has already had a winter vacation. It is said that she is already a sophomore in high school, her homework is intense, and the school also organizes holiday make-up classes, but Chen Xi insists on staying at home for self-study, and at the same time asks Zhou Nan to tutor her.
Meng Chunting is an acquaintance with the principal of Haidu No. 1 Middle School, and they are both people who live in the power field, so they still have this face.
"Brother Zhou Nan, do you think I did this question correctly?" Chen Xi has been very well-behaved and hardworking recently, since Meng Chunting was discharged from the hospital, she has become extremely hard in her studies, and she seems to have become sensible overnight, which makes Meng Chunting very relieved, and Zhou Nan also feels very good.
Zhou Nan looked at it with a smile, and just as he was about to speak, his eldest brother rang again. Zhou Nan hurriedly answered the phone, Chen Xi sat there with his lips pouted unhappily and muttered quietly, "There is another call...... It's all annoying......"
Zhou Nan smiled and nodded Chen Xi's forehead, then got up and stood in the corner of Chen Xi's room to pick up the phone, Chen Xi's eyes blinked, but he also pricked up his ears to listen attentively to Zhou Nan answering the phone.
The call came from my godmother Lin Xia.
"Mom, are you looking for me?" Zhou Nan asked softly.
"Nannan, where are you?"
"I'm at Mr. Meng's house, and I'm giving Chen Xi a make-up lesson."
"Which Mr. Meng ...... Oh, the leader of your unit-Meng Chunting, well, I know this woman. ”
"Nannan, let me tell you something...... Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, can you come out for a while, I will introduce you to a person, you will meet. The woman is a female officer in the confidential section of the Haidu Garrison District, a lieutenant, born beautifully, and has a good family background, her father is the commander of a field division in the military region, and it is said that he is recently promoting a major general to be the chief of staff of the group army......" Lin Xia said with a smile, "I told your mother, and your mother agrees very much, Nannan, I think you two are a good match." ”
Zhou Nan was taken aback and said with a wry smile, "Mom, I'm still young, this is a problem, uh...... Let's not think about it yet, hehe. ”
"What's small? You're 23! It's time to start a family...... Anyway, I don't care, you have to come out for me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, at the café of the Haidu Hotel, I will also go over. I told the woman, whether you are in the match or not, you have to come out to meet. Lin Xia pretended to be angry, but then laughed again, "It doesn't matter if you don't match, there are many mom friends, and there are many good girls on hand, let's take our time in the future!" ”
Zhou Nan sweated for a while, and was about to continue to say a few words to Lin Xia, but Lin Xia hurriedly hung up the phone.
Zhou Nan reluctantly deducted the phone, Chen Xi stood up and pouted, her bright eyes flashed with a certain complicated look, she pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother Zhou Nan, do you want to go on a blind date?" ”
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly, and then reached out and nodded her beautiful forehead, "Children, don't care about this, study hard, come, Chen Xi, let's continue to talk about this topic." ”
"No, you haven't answered my words yet?" Chen Xi stood there stubbornly, with his small chest straightened, not letting Zhou Nan pass.
Zhou Nan was helpless, shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and could be regarded as an answer.
Chen Xi's face immediately darkened a little, she lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly looked up and smiled, "Brother Zhou Nan, can you go on a blind date tomorrow and take me there, I'll help you check it!" ”
"A little girl with a big ghost, don't get involved in the affairs of adults, hurry up and learn!"
"I'm not a little girl, I'm in my second year of high school!" Chen Xi glared at Zhou Nan "indignantly", she has always been very unpopular with the nickname of "little girl" in Zhou Nan's mouth.
"You're only a few years older than me......" Chen Xi muttered, and the two good-looking willow eyebrows on her beautiful little face furrowed.
"Hurry up, don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Nan pretended to be angry, dragged Chen Xi's arm with a calm face, sat down in front of the desk again, and began to continue tutoring. But in the second half, Chen Xi was obviously absent-minded.
Until Zhou Nan left, Chen Xi sent him downstairs, and grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Zhou Nan, I'll go and have a good time tomorrow, can it be ......?"
Zhou Nan glared at her, ignored her, and walked away.
In the dark night, Chen Xi tilted his head and stood in a down jacket in the cold wind looking at Zhou Nan's departing back, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
……
It was already past ten o'clock when I returned home from Meng's house.
As soon as he entered the door, his mother Yue Ping gave Zhou Nan another ideological and political lesson, asking him to go on a blind date tomorrow. Obviously, Yue Ping is very satisfied with the woman. Looking at her like that, she should have seen the woman's photo.
And his father, Zhou Ningyu, also showed his head from the study, and echoed with a smile, "Yes, Nannan, you are also a big boss, and it is time to find a partner...... Your mom is right, you have to go tomorrow, even if it's for your godmother's face, you have to go! ”
"Okay, you guys don't nag, I'll go, can I go?" Zhou Nan was speechless, went straight into his bedroom, and lay on the bed.
No matter how many women he has, the position of his wife in his mind will always be reserved for Lan Ruo. This was true in previous lives, and it will not change in this life. Moreover, the fate of his life in this life has changed the trajectory, and the goddess Lan Ruo in his mind is no longer as unattainable as in his previous life, and he can't give up. This is the root of his rejection of blind dates.
Of course, even without Lan Ruo's existence, he didn't like this traditional way of "blind date" very much.
But as her father said, Lin Xia's face can't be withheld. Don't say that Lin Xia is a good intention, treat him as his own son, even if it is a face-saving matter, he must block it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan got out of bed, opened the drawer of the desk, and took out Lan Ruo's photo of the goddess with a bright smile and a noble moon, and looked at it stupidly, but his heart was full of emotion.
He knows that at present, even if he is the son of the director of the Haidu City Public Security Bureau, he owns a small company, but he is still quite a long way from Lan Ruo, who exists like the princess of the Hong Kong Lan family. The huge gap between the two that naturally exists because of their identity and background can only be made up for little by little through his continuous struggle and hard work.
Therefore, he had no way out, he could only run as hard as he could, and the bigger his career became, the closer he would be to Lan Ruo. This is like a marathon with a backward starting point, he must pay unimaginable hardships and sweat in order to surpass others again and again and move forward to the final destination.
"Lan Ruo, wait for me, I will catch up, I will." Zhou Nan slowly put Lan Ruo's photo into the drawer, and let out a long breath, his eyes were firm and persistent.
"Nannan, did you sleep? Your godmother is looking for you! Mother Yue Ping shouted in the living room.
Zhou Nan frowned, but still had to run out to answer the phone.
