Chapter 17: It's a Lonely Thing to Watch the Dawn Rise
Life is like walking at night, always thinking that someone is following you, but in fact, it is not, but when you take it lightly, he suddenly appears and strangles your neck.
Su Ning didn't sleep well all night, and had a bunch of messy dreams, one moment dreaming that Ouyang Zhen was leading the child with a strap rope, and the other dreaming that he was murdered and abandoned in the wilderness.
When she arrived at the office, she didn't expect the caterpillar to give her a bigger test.
Not long after she sat down, she saw a caterpillar that had gained a lot of weight coming out of the conference room and said to her: "Your plan has barely passed, and there are still some details to consider, Director Peng will discuss with you." There's one more thing left to you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I'm telling you, you've got to be a little mentally prepared."
"Teacher Mao, what have you done to be sorry for me?" Su Ning had an ominous premonition.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's too late for you to thank me." The caterpillar took a sip of water, "The leader wants you to give Ouyang Zhen an interview, this rare interview took us more than a month to make an appointment, but he only has an hour this afternoon, so you have to hurry up and prepare." ”
Before Su Ning could speak, she was doing PPT on the surface, but in fact, Zeng Qianqian, who was listening to them with her ears pricked up, immediately ran over and shouted, "Teacher Mao, you are too eccentric!" Obviously interviews are my forte! ”
Fishing Kaizi is your forte, Su Ning rolled her eyes in her heart. But she didn't want to go, "Yes, or let Qianqian go, I have to change the plan." ”
"This is all decided by the leader, and didn't you already have dinner with Ouyang Zhen last time? It will be a little more convenient to communicate. ”
In the end, Su Ning had to casually put on light makeup, looked up information on the Internet and wrote a few lists of questions casually, and then took a videographer to borrow his BMW i5 from Caterpillar and drove all the way to the headquarters of Yuanliu International Group. She didn't know what to ask in the car, she didn't know how to deal with this, the father of the child in her womb.
When she entered the headquarters gate, she found that the security guards and cleaners here were dressed more formally than her. I really regret that I didn't borrow decent formal clothes from those hosts.
After waiting for a long time, she was led outside Ouyang Zhen's office, and Shen Hai, who had already met, signaled that she didn't have to knock on the door, just go in. She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and pushed the door open and entered.
"Miss Su," Ouyang Zhen stretched out his hand to her, his fingers long, "we meet again." He was dressed in a modest gray suit, a white T-shirt, a black tie, his hair was combed back, and a pair of bright eyes looked at her with amusement.
Su Ning also stretched out her hand to him with pretending to be calm and shook hands with him. When their fingers touched, a strange sensation flowed through her body. She withdrew her hand in some haste, trying to adjust the frequency of her heartbeat.
"Let's sit down and talk." Ouyang Zhen pointed to an L-shaped white leather sofa and said to her. The whole room is very large, with a dark wooden desk by the window.
Everything is white, except for a series of small paintings on the wall next to the door, a total of 36 of them, arranged in squares, which are very realistic, like photographs.
"It was given to me by a painter in Hong Kong." He saw Su Ning explaining this when he was staring.
"Artists have the ability to turn ordinary things into the ordinary." Su Ning replied in a low voice. Not only the paintings, but also the other furnishings in the room are exquisite, but it gives an icy feel and is too clean...... Maybe it's the feeling that this man who is elegantly sitting in a leather chair gives her. Su Ning shook her head, drove away these useless thoughts, dug out the list of questions from her pocket, and then motioned for the photographer to set up the camera.
She was so busy that she almost dropped the pen in her hand into the coffee cup on the coffee table. She knew that every time she faced him, she would be in a constant situation, so she became more and more nervous and embarrassed. When she was finally ready, she noticed that Ouyang Zhen was looking at her, one hand on his lap, the other hand supporting his chin, and his long middle finger running across his lips. He must be trying to stifle a laugh.
"I'm sorry," Su Ning stammered, "I rarely do this kind of interview show." ”
"Take your time, Miss Su." He replied gently.
"Well, Mr. Ouyang, I want to ask you some questions, I hope you won't mind." Su Ning pulled a lock of hair behind her ear.
"If it were you, I don't think I would mind." He said. Was he flirting with her? Su Ning felt that her face was hot, she glanced at the cameraman with her peripheral vision, and adjusted the lens expressionlessly. Trying to make herself like a professional, she took the piece of paper and asked the first question.
"You're running such a large conglomerate at such a young age, what do you think is the main source of your success?"
Ouyang Zhen smiled at her helplessly, and seemed a little disappointed that she had asked such a tedious question.
"Doing business is really about dealing with people, and whatever you do, you first have to have a good eye, so that you know what kind of people you want to pick to work for you, and you pay them more. I think the secret to success is that you know what you want and have complete control over everything you do, and I just try to do that.
The decisions I make are based on rigorous facts and logical judgments, and I have very good ideas and a great team to provide me with more and better ideas. Very official, very routine, almost a stylized answer without thinking.
"Do you really have complete control over everything you do?" This question was not on the list of questions, but Su Ning felt that he was too confident.
"If I want to." He said, with no hint of humor in his smile.
Su Ning decided to change the subject.
"Do you have any other interests outside of work?"
"I have a lot of interests," a smile welled up on his lips, "very broad. ”
"But you're so busy at work, how can you have time to relax?"
"Relax?" He smiled at her and shifted in his chair. "Well, under your definition of relaxation, I'll sail, fly, do some sports."
Su Ning quickly glanced at the list of questions, "You have always been known as the 'golden finger' in acquiring companies, apart from trade secrets, do you have any unique insights?" ”
"Before deciding whether to acquire, it is important to understand two points: one is the reason why the other party failed, and the other is whether it is confident that the defeat will be reversed within the scheduled time." Su Ning had to keep smiling and staring at him because she was on the show, but she found it difficult to concentrate because the other party's hot eyes were also looking at her.
"Are there any particular reasons why you've recently invested in manufacturing?"
"I love machinery, I like the feeling of making things, and I want to understand how industry works. Also, I love sailing. ”
"It sounds like you're doing things pretty casually."
The corners of his mouth curled into an arc, and he looked at her. "Perhaps, under my control. But people who know me will think I'm hardly emotional. ”
"Oh? Do your friends know you well? Su Ning regretted it as soon as she asked, this is another question that is not on the outline.
"Miss Su, I don't really want to expose myself in public, I take my privacy very seriously. And I never accept interviews. His voice grew deeper.
"Then why would you agree to do this?"
"Because I want to see you."
