Chapter 305: Calling is hypocritical, sending money is sincere
"What should I do? We've been together for so long, and suddenly I don't want you to leave."
The next morning, also at the doorstep, Lin Siqi snuggled in Chen Jianghe's arms, her arms tightly around his waist, looking at him reluctantly.
Chen Jianghe stroked her hair, smiled and said comfortingly: "You can stay at home and spend the New Year with your parents. I will pick you up and take you back to work at the beginning of the year."
As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to the secretary: "If you miss me, call me."
"Ah~" Lin Siqi pretended to be a little disgusted: "I thought it was a phone call, but it turned out to be a money transfer..."
"Calling is insincere, transferring money is sincere, which one do you choose?" Chen Jianghe asked with a smile. He was going to give a bank card each to Yishu, Teacher Xu and the secretary.
Lin Siqi's eyes curved, and he said without hesitation: "Call me and I'll give you the money."
"Good guy, you are lucky to have met me, otherwise such a silly girl would have been sold and still be smiling and counting money for others."
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and blatantly took out a small stack of brand new bills from his pocket. He held it in his left hand and put his right index finger to her lips: "Lick it."
Lin Siqi blinked, then lowered his head and licked it obediently.
Chen Jianghe withdrew his hand and began to count the money in front of the secretary. The clacking sound was quite rhythmic.
Lin Siqi was simply stunned.
When Chen Jianghe had counted almost everything, he took out a red envelope from his other pocket, put all the money in it, and handed it to Lin Siqi: "This is the deposit for the betrothal gift. Spend it."
Lin Siqi took the red envelope and wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, with red eyes.
Chen Jianghe looked at her and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot that your family is looking for a live-in son-in-law, you should give me a betrothal gift."
Lin Siqi looked at Chen Jianghe with a mixture of laughter and tears. He didn't expect that he still remembered what he said last year.
"Let's go, don't miss me too much."
Chen Jianghe turned and left.
Lin Siqi followed him closely until he saw him drive away.
…
After Chen Jianghe returned to eastern Guangdong, he did not rush home to celebrate the New Year. During this period at the end of the year, most industries entered a period of rest and recuperation, and the Light Chaser also announced a holiday on the day of the Little New Year.
However, the light chaser's urban expansion plan did not hit the pause button because of the holiday.
On the contrary, due to the impact of this year's snowstorm and the incentive of triple salary and double bonus at the end of the year, 80% of the company's sales staff voluntarily worked overtime, and the overtime rate of delivery staff was even higher, reaching 90%. Even among the part-time team of college students, nearly 50% of them stayed and continued to work hard.
As the president of the company, Chen Jianghe naturally would not go home early to celebrate the New Year.
"Si Qi!"
Chen Jianghe was sitting in the office looking at yesterday's business data. He subconsciously called out, wanting to share with her the joy of the explosive growth in data. However, no one responded for a long time. After a moment's pause, he remembered that he had given his secretary a holiday.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. After Chen Jianghe responded, it was Li Jun who came in.
"Third brother, the performance in Shanghai seems to be quite strong recently."
Li Jun walked to Chen Jianghe's desk, picked up a cigarette from the table skillfully, lit one, and said with a smile: "I feel a sense of crisis again."
“After the news of the company’s successful Series B financing spread, Hucheng’s performance data grew strongly.”
Chen Jianghe also lit a cigarette, stared at Li Jun, and asked with a smile, "You look so happy, did you find a treasure when you went out?"
"Almost." Li Jun said with a bright smile: "I have negotiated with Meiyajia."
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "Good boy, you are really good."
Meiyajia is a convenience store chain enterprise that started in Dongguan City. It was established in 1997 and by 2007 it had opened 1,000 chain convenience stores in cities in the Pearl River Delta such as Dongguan City, eastern Guangdong and Shenzhen.
Chen Jianghe knows very well that convenience store chains will flourish all over the country in the future, and Meiyajia will be the private brand with the fastest development momentum and the largest number of stores.
Li Jun stroked his hair and said with a smile: "I just talked to the general manager of Meiyajia Guangdong East Branch a few times with a try-it attitude. I felt that we got along well, so he introduced me to the Guancheng headquarters to meet with the chairman, and we hit it off immediately."
After saying that, he took out the cooperation agreement directly from his backpack and handed it to Chen Jianghe for review.
Chen Jianghe took the agreement and read it through, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Sure enough, I was right about you. You are a business genius. This contract is worth a fortune."
The signing of Meiyajia’s entry directly fills the gap in supermarket convenience for Light Chaser, which is of great significance to the subsequent development of Light Chaser.
"Third brother, stop praising me. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk steadily when I go out, and I'll just float away." Li Jun said, "Next I plan to take on this tough job at the pharmacy."
"Pharmacies have large sales, high profits, and high barriers to entry, so it's really a tough nut to crack."
Chen Jianghe smiled faintly and said, "For now, we don't need to spend too much time and energy negotiating with them. When we are strong enough, we can set up a direct sales business to compete with them."
"Direct sales?" Li Jun stared, thinking that his third brother had a really good strategic vision. The pharmaceutical industry these days had too much profit.
Chen Jianghe took a deep look at Li Jun, noticing that his chin had become more pointed and his collarbone was more prominent. He asked with concern, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. Are you okay?"
"No problem ." Li Jun flicked the ash off his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "I'm in good health."
Chen Jianghe took out a wad of cash from the drawer and pushed it in front of him: "I'll give you two days off. Go to the hospital for a physical examination and relax."
"No." Li Jun returned the money and said anxiously: " Everyone is working hard, how can I take a vacation?"
Chen Jianghe slammed the table and stood up: "If I tell you to take a vacation, just take it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Li Jun was startled and lowered his head in silence. The third brother rarely lost his temper, but once he did, no one in the company dared to look up in front of him.
Chen Jianghe continued, "Health is the capital of revolution. You've ruined your health now. If I quit Light Chaser in the future and want to hand over the company to you, can you handle it?"
Li Jun was dumbfounded.
How could he know that Chen Jianghe had already planned a retreat when he founded Light Chaser.
Of course, the authenticity of what Chen Jianghe said just now is questionable.
But in Li Jun's heart, his third brother treated him completely as his own and was open-hearted and unreserved.
"I'll go to the hospital to register for a physical examination."
Li Jun put out his cigarette, turned around and left.
"Wait." Chen Jianghe stopped him and tapped the table with his fingers: "Take the money, this is your reward for signing Meiyajia."
"Oh." Li Jun scratched his head, turned around, took the money, and left happily.
“Ding ding ding.”
Not long after Li Jun left, Chen Jianghe's QQ phone on the computer rang a few times.
He looked down and saw Yi Caiwei's avatar flashing. He moved the mouse and clicked on the message.
Southern girl: "Senior Chen, are you home?"
Live up to the good times: "Not yet, how about you ?"
Southern girl: "I can't go back this year, I will spend the Spring Festival at school."
Live Up to Your Youth: "Are there many students in your class who are staying in school?"
Southern girl: "Not much, it's a bit quiet, I want to give you a call, can I?"
Chen Jianghe sent the cell phone number and received a call from Yi Caiwei within seconds.
