107 Taking Office (2/2)

Xu Guansong then introduced the next person: ”This is the head of the human resource department, Lin Chongdong. As his name suggests, his temper is really impulsive.”

”Hello, Mr. Xiao.”

Lin Chongdong's tone was a little blunt, and he didn't look like he wanted to shake hands with Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo stayed calm and collected. He replied courteously, ”Hello.”

Then, Xu Guansong proceeded to the next person, ”This is the…”

”I'll do it myself!” blurted out a girl about 20 years of age.

She had big eyes, a little mouth, delicate cheeks, and was giving off an adorable and lively vibe with her entire body. ”I'm the head of the R \u0026 D department. My name is Luo Qi. Greetings, big boss.” As soon as she finished, she saluted Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo replied, ”Just call me Mr. Xiao.”

”Received, big boss!” Luo Qi said with a beaming countenance.

Xiao Luo could neither cry nor laugh. However, Luo Qi, who was so vivacious in her presentation, had made a deep impression in his heart.

”A-ahem. Please be more serious.” Xu Guansong coughed, then smiled as he introduced to Xiao Luo to a large man. ”Mr. Xiao, please meet the head of our bread processing factory, Zhang Donghai. He's honest and really ambitious.”

”Hello, Mr. Xiao. I have long since heard your name mentioned. Now that I finally get to meet you today, I see that you're truly a talented person with extraordinary vigor!”

Zhang Donghai held Xiao Luo's hand tightly with both hands, showing great excitement and enthusiasm.

Xiao Luo lifted his eyebrows, thinking that no business ever had a shortage of flatterers. Had he ever so popular that this man would have had occasion to hear his name long before now? These statements were too exaggerated.

Nevertheless, Xiao Luo still replied, ”Hello.”

With Xu Guansong in charge of introductions, Xiao Luo greeted Luo's Workshop's senior management team one-by-one. Soon afterward, everyone proceeded to the conference hall, where the official share transfer ceremony would be held.

”Holy sh*t! It's really him!”

Sun Jian'nan's mind went blank. He was so shocked that he couldn't even say a single word. How could he have ever anticipated that the young lad who'd saved him that day was the same guy who'd gone on a blind date with his niece? And now, by some sudden metamorphosis, this same guy was also their company's new chairman? This was way too dramatic. It was unbelievable. Sun Jian'nan thought that he was dreaming.

”The transfer of shares ceremony is complete. Now, let us welcome Mr. Xiao, who is going to share a few words with us,” the hostess said with a broad smile while holding the microphone.

Xiao Luo took the microphone, stood up, and said with a smile, ”I only have one thing to say to all of you: 'Do your work with your minds at peace. Be down to earth. Do not forget the heart, for you and I shall strive together!'”

When he finished, he sat down.

He was totally different from their other bosses. Anybody else would have gone on for at least half an hour in such a scenario, but Xiao Luo had only delivered a brief statement. This brevity caught those who were prepared to listen to a long speech entirely off guard.

His speech was already over before the hostess could even finish drinking her water. Although she was taken by surprise, her response was nevertheless impeccable. She moved forward to mediate the scene with a smile on her face, saying, ”Mr. Xiao really does treasure his words like gold. Nevertheless, the aphorism he has given us is worthy. Let all of us ponder it and learn from it.”

Just then, someone ran into the room in a panic. He whispered in Xu Guansong's ear for a moment. Then, Xu Guansong went over to Xiao Luo and murmured to him, ”Mr. Xiao, all of the factory's employees have gone on strike!”
