Chen Lishu smiled and said, "Then your arrival is quite unfortunate. Ever since the incident, I haven't set up my stall anymore."
Upon hearing that the stall was not set up, Zhang Bin's face flickered with an unnatural expression. He pursed his lips and asked curiously, "What happened? Could it be that the previous matter wasn't resolved satisfactorily? If you need it, I happen to know some friends here. Why don't you let me handle this matter, so your stall can continue to operate."
Listening to Zhang Bin's enthusiastic suggestion, Chen Lishu raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of teasing. "What, from what you're saying, it seems you don't welcome me back to the company. If I remember correctly, someone not too long ago sent me a message saying you couldn't hold on by yourself, and asked when I would return. Now that I've fulfilled your wish, why aren't you happier?"
Zhang Bin forced a smile and explained, "That's not what I meant. I naturally welcome your return; the burden on my shoulders is much lighter, and the company can develop better under your leadership. Since you're back, let's do a work handover in these past few days and you can also help me check if there have been any oversights in my work."
Looking at his nervous demeanor, Chen Lishu felt something was a bit off for some reason. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you find the impoverished students I asked you to look for last time? Has the bursary fund been disbursed?"
Mentioning this matter, Zhang Bin's smile became stiff, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He nodded and said, "I had too many things to handle, which led me to put this matter aside. Don't worry, I'll find time to locate the impoverished students, and this matter can be completed in a few days. If you have any suitable candidates, you can give me the list, and I'll handle it then."
Hearing that the matter of the impoverished students was still unresolved, Chen Lishu's brows furrowed tightly, as this was not a good thing. They had initially presented themselves as a caring enterprise, and if this matter wasn't handled with care, they could be criticized and branded as fraudsters. Zhang Bin should know the importance of this matter, yet she couldn't help but feel that Zhang Bin was acting strangely today.
However, some things she ultimately couldn't say. She simply attributed it to her having overloaded him with work in the past few days, causing him to be exhausted and unable to attend to everything. Chen Lishu rested a hand on the desk, tapping it rhythmically. The only sound in the office was the tapping of the desk, each tap hitting Zhang Bin's heart. He subtly raised his head to observe Chen Lishu's expression but couldn't discern if she was angry or not. Just as he was about to break the awkward silence, Chen Lishu spoke first:
"I don't have time to get involved in the company's affairs for now. If you feel overwhelmed, I can promote a reliable person to help you share the workload. In any case, the matter of the impoverished students must be taken seriously and resolved quickly. This is a good opportunity to cultivate talent for the country. For people like us who can't achieve great things, we can only demonstrate our patriotism through these small matters."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Bin refused without a second thought, "No need. It was busy handling the delivery service before, which caused the delay in the impoverished students' bursary matter. Now that the delivery service plan is on track, I have nothing else to worry about. So, please leave these matters to me. There's no need to find helpers. If the helpers are not in sync with me, it will only increase the workload."
Since Zhang Bin said so, what else could Chen Lishu say? She simply reminded him gently, "If you can't manage one day, send me a message. I don't lack talent and can dispatch someone to assist you in overcoming difficulties at any time." She had already thought it through; after all, there were so many talents at headquarters. While a few or even dozens might not be transferable, one certainly was. These were all reliable talents who had undergone her personal training before starting their positions!
Seeing that Chen Lishu wasn't insisting on the matter, Zhang Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then asked with curiosity, "President Chen, since you're no longer setting up your stall, why haven't you returned to the company?"
Chen Lishu propped her head with one hand and replied nonchalantly, "I'm planning to open a food factory and want to make a name for myself in this industry. Anyway, while I'm still young, I can still strive for more. I came over today mainly to instruct the HR department to add recruitment information for the food factory to the job postings, and also to check the company's workload completion and see if there are any issues that require my assistance."
Zhang Bin patted his chest and assured, "President Chen, please rest assured. Apart from the matter of the impoverished students not being properly handled yet, all other matters have been dealt with perfectly. You're opening a new factory? But do you have experience in this area? If not, this path is not easy to tread."
Chen Lishu didn't know how to explain her knowledge in the food industry to him, so she could only vaguely say, "I can't say I have experience, but haven't you seen pigs run even if you haven't eaten pork?"
Zhang Bin suddenly muttered something, as if remembering something, "Indeed, how could a businessman undertake something with no guarantees? President Chen, your business is truly extensive, and opening a factory must earn a lot of money."
Chen Lishu shook her head and said, "Many things are unpredictable. This is my first time trying this. Go and bring all the contracts from these past few days for me to review. Also, try your best to find suitable candidates for the impoverished students and place their information in my office. I'll come to the company to review the work when I have time. I might spend more time on the other company during this period."
"Alright, please wait here. I'll bring the contracts over now." After speaking, Zhang Bin stood up and left the president's office.
About 10 minutes later, Zhang Bin arrived in front of Chen Lishu with a stack of documents. He said, "Then you can take your time looking at them. I still have other work to handle. If you have any questions, you can call me."
Chen Lishu waved her hand and replied lazily, "Mmm."
With permission, Zhang Bin then quietly left the president's office. Without the disturbance of outsiders, Chen Lishu focused on reviewing the documents. Zhang Bin had worked diligently, and after going through the stack of documents, she didn't find any issues.
