"Dong..."
"Lu... Lu Yang!"
Song Nuan was about to blurt out his name, but remembering Lu Yang's instruction not to reveal his true identity, she quickly corrected herself.
"Miss Song, I didn't expect to see you on my first day of work. We really are destined to meet!"
Upon hearing Song Nuan's voice, Qi Haitao immediately turned around, a smile on his face.
"You're working here too?"
Song Nuan's expression shifted slightly as she asked Qi Haitao.
"Yes, I was just hired yesterday and am here to sign the contract. We'll be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me, for the sake of our old classmates!"
Qi Haitao immediately looked at Song Nuan and flattered her. At their last class reunion, someone had mentioned that Song Nuan was a department manager here, so he knew he had to curry favor with her. Perhaps he could achieve success in both career and love.
"I just heard you ask Lu Yang to park your car?"
Song Nuan asked Qi Haitao.
"Yes, this good-for-nothing must be working as a security guard here. From now on, we'll give our car keys to this loser, and he'll park them for us. Don't you agree, Lu Yang?"
Qi Haitao asked Lu Yang triumphantly.
Hearing this, Song Nuan's face changed drastically. Qi Haitao was truly an idiot, knowing nothing. The person in front of him, whom he called a good-for-nothing, was actually the chairman of Haitong Group.
However, Song Nuan did not expose him. Instead, she continued to ask Qi Haitao, "We're all classmates. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"
"Too much? Isn't he just a worthless live-in son-in-law? I'm actually doing him a favor by treating him like this!"
"Miss Song, we are both official employees of Haitong Group. There's no need to associate with such low-life trash. It's as if his ancestors have blessed him with good fortune to even be asked to help us!"
Qi Haitao said dismissively, becoming more and more outrageous.
Seeing this, Song Nuan shook her head and went to work.
Lu Yang remained silent, returned the key to the Passat to Qi Haitao, and walked into Haitong Group with Tang Shimin.
"Damn it, you dare to act tough in front of me, you good-for-nothing. Just you wait. Once I sign my official contract, I'll make sure you can't even be a security guard!"
Qi Haitao said fiercely and walked towards the Human Resources Department of Haitong Group.
...
"Lu Yang, this office is so big! It's much bigger than Grandpa's office!"
"This crystal ball is so beautiful!"
"This potted plant smells so fragrant!"
"..."
Entering the chairman's office, Tang Shimin was like a curious baby, marveling at everything.
Lu Yang smiled slightly, letting Tang Shimin play around, and called Song Nuan in.
"Chairman!"
Seeing Lu Yang, Song Nuan's body trembled involuntarily.
"What? Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Yang asked with a smile.
"No!"
Song Nuan quickly replied.
"I have two things to assign to you. First, deal with Qi Jiangtao's situation. Let him work as a security guard at Haitong Group!"
"Second, my mother-in-law will be here later. Give her the contract and have her sign the cooperation agreement on behalf of Shimin. However, the previous investment amount will be halved. As long as the Tang family does not change the project leader without Haitong Group's permission during the cooperation period, their project will be transferred to Haitong Group unconditionally!"
"However, write this in a subtle way so they don't notice!"
Lu Yang said faintly.
"Chairman, you're setting a trap for them!"
Song Nuan said with a smile upon hearing Lu Yang's words.
"The Tang family is untrustworthy. When cooperating with them, we must use some tactics. Go and execute it!"
Lu Yang said directly.
"Yes!"
Receiving Lu Yang's command, Song Nuan went to execute it immediately.
At this moment, Qi Jiangtao was standing at the entrance of the Human Resources Department, feeling puzzled as to why he hadn't been allowed in yet, just to sign a contract.
As Qi Jiangtao was feeling dejected, Song Nuan walked over.
"Qi Jiangtao, the chairman has entrusted me to handle your onboarding. Follow me!"
After speaking, Song Nuan directly entered the Human Resources Department office.
Hearing this, Qi Jiangtao's heart was filled with joy, thinking that since they were old classmates, the salary offered to him this time would definitely not be low. He immediately followed her in.
"Miss Song, thank you for helping me. Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner to express my gratitude!"
After entering, Qi Jiangtao immediately said to Song Nuan with a smile.
"When did I help you?"
Song Nuan asked Qi Jiangtao, looking puzzled.
"Miss Song, please don't be so modest. If it weren't for you, I would still be standing at the door. Don't worry, I won't say anything when I leave. I'll just keep your kindness in my heart!"
Qi Jiangtao continued.
"Keep your ass!"
Song Nuan cursed inwardly. The entire Haitong Group was undergoing rectification recently. If she were to make an exception for someone, she would likely be packing her bags and leaving.
Song Nuan's expression turned cold. She took a security guard's onboarding contract from the Human Resources Department manager and handed it directly to Qi Jiangtao.
"Our chairman said that if you want to develop at Haitong Group, you must start as a security guard. Only when you satisfy the chairman can we discuss other matters!"
Song Nuan said to Qi Jiangtao in a cold tone.
"Se... Security guard?"
Hearing this, Qi Jiangtao froze on the spot. After all, he was a graduate of a prestigious university. Even if he couldn't get a particularly good position, he shouldn't have to work as a security guard. If his classmates found out, wouldn't they laugh him to death?
"If you want the job, sign the contract. If not, you can leave now!"
Song Nuan said directly.
"I... I'll sign!"
Qi Jiangtao, with a crestfallen face, eventually signed the contract.
"Perhaps this is the chairman's test for me!"
Qi Jiangtao tried to comfort himself in his heart.
...
Half an hour later, Li Xiumei had rushed to Haitong Group in a hurry.
"Have you seen my daughter and son-in-law?"
Li Xiumei asked the receptionist at Haitong Group.
"May I ask who your daughter and son-in-law are?"
The receptionist asked with a smile.
"My daughter is Tang Shimin, who is here to sign a contract with your company. As for my son-in-law, he's just a good-for-nothing, no need to mention him!"
Li Xiumei said coldly.
Hearing this, the receptionist was shocked. The person the chairman had brought upstairs earlier was Tang Shimin! So, the good-for-nothing mentioned by this woman was actually the chairman of their Haitong Group?
However, the company had regulations requiring the chairman's identity to be kept strictly confidential, so the receptionist did not expose him. Instead, she said to Li Xiumei, "They are in the chairman's office right now!"
"Haha, I knew it. The chairman of Haitong Group took a liking to my daughter. Hmph, after this contract is signed, I'll make Shimin divorce that good-for-nothing. Once Shimin becomes the chairman's wife, our family will skyrocket!"
Li Xiumei said, and then, filled with excitement, was led to the chairman's office by the receptionist.
