Chapter 251 Taking over the Connections (1/2)

Everybody was pretty busy during that period, especially Chang Baji, Ms. An, and Yu Fengzhi. Ms. An needed to be in charge of the operation and management of the subsidiary and build up the organization structure for every department. She did everything on her own. Finally, she was able to get the whole subsidiary to start operating in a short period. After Chang Baji took over Poly International, he conducted a comprehensive cleaning up and reorganizing. With the cooperation of the group of people, including Lyu Yuan, he successfully got Poly International to go through the buffering period in the end. As for Yu Fengzhi, after she went into Guangyin LIVE, she started to contact the connections of every party. She adjusted Guangyin’s decoration and design style first. Then, she contacted every performance agency and broker. At the same time, while starting to organize the marketing team and public relations team, she recruited outstanding new members to take up each post. All her preparations made Guangyin look brand new. Of course, consequently, she was in conflict with Yu Yixiao. However, Qin Sheng had said that Yu Yixiao would take care of things related to the music and Yu Fengzhi was responsible for the management. Since Yu Fengzhi was backed by Qin Sheng, Yu Yixiao had no way out.

In the past several days, Hao Lei seized the chance to be familiar with Yun Ding’s environment. He had also gotten along pretty well with Song Wei. As an example, at least Song Wei had not tried to psych him out. Plus, since Gu Qingyang had been inside for so long a time, he and Hao Lei could help in taking care of each other.

Since everybody had been busy for a long time, as their current boss, of course, Qin Sheng needed to show his gratitude for their efforts. So after his return to Hangzhou, he arranged for them to have dinner together at noon. After all, in the evening, all of them would be busy attending to chores.

“How have you been after getting home these past few days?” Chang Baji arrived first, along with Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo. The two young men were excited by the fact that Qin Sheng actually valued them highly. After all, they had been staying in the deep mountains and forests for a long time. Rarely had they seen a tycoon like Qin Sheng. In their eyes, Qin Sheng was their idol. Though he had the same age as them, he was already the president of a company.

Qin Sheng sat on the main seat. Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo sat in the rear. They knew their positions. They knew clearly that it was because of their martial uncle that Qin Sheng had thought highly of them. If they wanted to earn Qin Sheng’s authentic favor, they still needed to do practical things and displaying their strength.

Qin Sheng said pretty helplessly, “Just so-so. Things stay the same, but people have changed. A lot of people and things could not go back. The memory is so vivid that it seems it just happened yesterday. Memories make people always feel puzzled and urge them to make a choice.”

“You just haven’t adjusted your mindset yet. I suggest that you make light of the past and make the best of things,” Chang Baji said randomly. Since he was already at his forties and he had gone through what should be experienced, of course, he would not feel confused.

Qin Sheng chuckled as he said, “I am not that capable. Maybe I am young and I have got a little experience. Stop talking about these things. How is it going on Bao Li’s side?”

Chang Baji said thoughtfully, “I have been engaged in social activities in recent days, having dinner with the heads, leaders of the relative parties in the two levels of the urban area. We need to reorganize connections in both the upper and lower levels. However, Lao Luo actually has pretty powerful connections. At least, the group of people respect him.”

“He is one of the several tycoons under the charge of Third Master Wu. Since he has been operating in Hangzhou for so many years, he definitely has powerful connections. In the future, we need to be closer to him,” Qin Sheng pondered deeply as he said. He was thinking about how he could communicate with Brother Luo often via making use of Master Liu’s resources.

Chang Baji nodded quietly as he said, “As for this, I will figure it out. However, since we are just rising up in Hangzhou city, we need to take it slowly, step by step. We should not do it rashly.”

As they went on talking, soon, more people arrived one after another. In an instant, the private room was quite noisy. Since basically all were old acquaintances, they started chatting with each other. On Qin Sheng’s left side, there were Chang Baji, Hao Lei, and Lyu Yuan. On his right side, there were Yu Fengzhi and Ms. An. As for Gu Qingyang and Gu Xiaobo, they sat on the opposite side.

The dishes had been ordered in advance. They would only drink tea instead of wine that day. After all, all had issues to attend to in the afternoon. They would go on a binge when they were completely free.

“Among the attendees, some are my old friends and some are my new friends. I guess all have known each other well. You have been leading a hard life in recent days,” Qin Sheng stood up as he said, “I’ve asked you to gather here today. We are not here for anything important. I just want to find an opportunity to talk with you. There are no outsiders present. Everyone is from our own side. I want to tell you my innermost thoughts today.”

Ms. An teased him as she said, “Are you trying to make a loving statement?”

“Ms. An, please don’t tease me anymore,” Qin Sheng chuckled as he said. After that, he added closely. “From Xi’an to Shanghai, Lao Chang and Hao Lei have been following me. I met Ms. An, Fengzhi, and Brother Lyu in Shanghai. We stayed together in Shangshan Ruoshui for a few months. Though the duration was short, the friendship between us was sincere. I will not talk about what happened next, as long as you all know it. Qinyang and Xiaobo can be counted as new members in our group. They are also the youngest ones. As Lao Chang’s martial nephews, they are good young men. I admire them very much. I am alone in Hangzhou. At the time when I needed helpers the most, you were all able to come to Hangzhou to help me. I am greatly grateful for that. This is the truth. Especially Ms. An, Fengzhi, and Brother Lyu, who were willing to leave everything in Shanghai behind. I will put this favor you did for me in my heart.”

Hao Lei teased him as he said “You are definitely love-talking. The way I see it, you can directly raise our salaries and give out bonuses to us after this lunch.”

After that, Yu Fengzhi said, “Hao Lei is right. If a boss talks about the ideal, the feelings, and the friendship instead of money, he is simply a ruffian.”

Yu Fengzhi specifically stressed the last word ruffian as she spoke. The way she looked at Qin Sheng was pretty special.

“Whether it’s salary raise or bonus, they are no issues at all. I’ve promised you that I won’t treat you shabbily when it comes to the pay,” Qin Sheng said resolutedly.

Lyu Yuan replied in a polite way, “President Qin. We are not here simply for the pay. We are here mainly because of you. We should thank you for granting us such an opportunity.”

“What Lyu Yuan said hits right at the point. It doesn’t matter to us what kinds of duties we need to perform. The point lies in who we are going to work with and whether it is promising or not,” Chang Baji echoed the statement.
