Chapter 800 (2/2)
When Leon Blake saw Chen Qing push the button, he was really not sure. His boss could only describe the women around him with connivance.
What's more, he doesn't want to stir Simon up because of a small matter and join Apollo management company. In the past half a year, the oriental girl opposite is really good enough. She's not the kind of vase that Simon dotes on. Even he recognizes each other's ability and believes that his boss can also measure it.
If this small matter bothers Simon, it will be even more troublesome if the big boss thinks that he is deliberately making trouble for Chen Qing to get rid of her dissidents.
The case of Heiyan's merger with the asset management department of State Street bank, which was finalized a few days ago, seems to be a big expansion of Heiyan. Leon black is very clear that it is also a blow to Lawrence Fink. He didn't want to be hit like that.
Finally, compromise: ”well, Chen, I'll help you choose a few people. As far as Chris's team is concerned, the French girl will also be among them.”
Chen Qing saw that Leon Black's tone was loose. She bowed her head and began to press the button: ”I think I'd better call Simon.”
After a long pause, seeing Chen Qing's fingertips, Leon Blackton finally said, ”OK, OK, but I only give you one day to talk with them. If these people don't want to join your team, you can't force them.”
Chen Qing immediately put away her mobile phone and looked up with a smile: ”deal.”
Leon Blake was stunned and soon understood that the girl on the opposite side must have had contact with the five people on the list. Maybe it had been settled. The small threshold he set at the end didn't work at all. He had no choice but to smile and said, ”well, you've got it all. I'll have a dinner party soon.”
Chen Qing immediately got up and said, ”don't disturb you, Leon. Goodbye.”
It's true that Chen Qing has already talked ahead of time. After leaving Leon Black's office, Chen Qing began to call her own people. All the five people on the list arrived at the company today. They are all ambitious young people. They all know who is standing behind Chen Qing's two daughters. They also know that as long as they cooperate with Chen Qing's two daughters, it's easy to attract the attention of the big boss. This is the best channel for them to be in the top position. Therefore, Chen Qing's voice After the invitation, they agreed without much hesitation.
In fact, through this period of communication, Chen Qing has more people in her eyes. However, she also knows that only such a small team will not cause the rebound of her boss and company boss.
Otherwise, even if it comes to Simon, Leon black may not agree, and maybe Simon will not.
Moreover, this small class is not small.
In addition to Chen Qing and Lin Su, as well as the five women who have just joined, Chen Qing also employed two talented students as their assistants, one from MIT and the other from Princeton. Both of them have professional degrees related to economy and finance, which can just make up for their lack of professional knowledge.
In addition, Simon's two maids and two female guards, a total of four, have been their assistants for several months. During the new year's trip to China, Chen Qing specially brought the four women back to China.
By calculation, this is already a team of 13 people.
Many Wall Street financial giants did not necessarily have such a scale in their early days.
Moreover, Chen Qing has actually set up her own office in China, employing six people. The office is located in Shanghai, responsible for the communication between China and the United States. The salaries of the six people are paid by two women. It is precisely because of this office that Lin Su did not donate all the salaries in advance when she went back last time.
Chen Qing also suggested that the office should be paid by herself, and their annual salary should be converted into RMB. With the current salary level in China, it is more than enough to support a team of 60 people in China, let alone only six people. Lin Su instinctively didn't want Chen Qing to succeed, so he became their office.
Lunch, mutual introduction, the team in the afternoon began to make the final preparation for the acquisition of Scomber.
In this way, until the evening, I didn't forget the man's advice. The two women were about to leave work at five o'clock and return to their residence on the west side to prepare. Suddenly, they received a call from girl a, and the dinner was cancelled temporarily.
I didn't know the reason. I felt sorry and lost, so I decided to work overtime.
On the other hand, Simon received a call from grace when he was close to work. The woman asked him if he had time to have dinner together, and also said that he could stay out until nine o'clock in the evening. Feeling the cautious expectation in the woman's voice, Simon could not have any idea of refusing.
I made an appointment to dine in my apartment on Fifth Avenue.
Simon came home from work, but grace didn't come alone and brought Bryce Levison with her. After the last incident, the Levinsons were basically separated. Francis Levinson stayed in Miami to deal with company affairs, and Bryce Levinson lived in New York in the name of taking care of her son's studies.Bryce followed grace through the door with a strong sense of reason, and said that her excuse was not in vain.
I can see what's going on.
Instead of the waitress, the three prepared dinner in person. To be exact, there were only Simon and grace. The other one was served from small to large, and could not tell the difference between salt and sugar. When dinner was about to be ready, he volunteered to light a candle and said he wanted to have a candlelight dinner. Simon had to send grace along, worried that Bryce would burn the house down.
The eccentric candlelight dinner for three.
Overall, it's warm.
Chatting about all kinds of things recently, it's more than seven o'clock unconsciously.
Simon's personal cell phone suddenly rings.
After answering, there was an unexpected voice, Irene Lauder. The woman's voice on the phone was very formal. She asked Simon if he wanted to attend a masquerade ball in a circle. The place was a bar in the middle of the city.
Simon can only refuse.
At the dinner table, seeing the man hang up the phone, Bryce looks inquisitive, but Simon doesn't have any explanation.
Grace, however, heard the name ”Irene” in Simon's conversation and keenly remembered the reception of the Lauder family last night. She couldn't resist her curiosity and looked at the man with some strange inquiry: ”I've been thinking about what a man and a woman can do in ten minutes.”
Bryce was at a loss.
Simon is immediately understand, think of last night's absurd, of course, will not tell grace, just smile: ”in fact, five minutes is enough, wait for me to show you personally.”
Bryce looked left and right, and saw that grace's face was a little more charming under the candlelight. She seemed to understand something. She asked, ”are you talking about some yellow jokes that I don't understand?”
Simon nodded: ”yes, it's yellow and violent.”
The redder grace turned.
Bryce continues to ask, but Simon doesn't explain until after dinner.
Nine o'clock.
Grace refused Simon's request and left on time. Another woman didn't mean to get up from her big bed and accused someone of murder.
I thought it was tonight.
Near ten o'clock, just holding a woman out of the bathroom, cell phone rings again.
It's still Irene Lauder.
The girl's voice drifted away a little, indicating that she was drunk. If Simon didn't go to pick her up, she would let anyone pick her up, and warned not to inform her family, or she would run away from home. It's no joke.
Simon had no choice but to go to the bar in midtown.
The masquerade party is still going on.
He also wears a mask when entering the door. It's easy to find a woman in a corner. Sure enough, she has drunk a lot, but she is not drunk. She looks very clear. Simon remembers that the woman said that because of her family background, she has to attend more than 200 parties every year. Of course, her drinking capacity is not bad.
But he didn't want to go by himself. He would not leave until Simon held him.
I can only hold it.
Shrink in the man's arms and begin to say, accusing a guy is just the devil, make her a devout Jewish girl for more than 20 years into a bad woman in 10 minutes, to compensate.
You don't have to pick another time. Tonight's fine, meat.
I don't want Simon to take her home.
Simon was afraid to take her back to her fifth Avenue apartment.
Bryce's arrogant, grace is OK, another woman appears, may fight.
There are a lot of properties in Manhattan, but they rarely live there. It's very troublesome to pick them up late at night. In the end, we can only call for a helicopter to go to the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich.
