The next day.

Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shucheng came to the company together, and Zhao Shucheng arranged for Yan Ruyu to join the company.

The employees in the company were all speculating about the relationship between Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shucheng. After all, they saw Yan Ruyu and Zhao Shucheng getting out of a car together in the underground parking lot, and it was obvious that they had a close relationship.

After joining the company, Yan Ruyu also heard other people's speculations and told them directly without any hesitation that she was Zhao Shucheng's girlfriend.

After hearing what Yan Ruyu said, those people looked her up and down. Some of them couldn't help but laugh secretly, as if they didn't believe what Yan Ruyu said at all.

Zhao Shucheng had no intention of testifying for Yan Ruyu. Instead, when Yan Ruyu came to see him, he directly handed her a document and asked her to read it first before going out with him to meet the client.

Yan Ruyu was feeling a little uncomfortable at first, but after seeing the documents handed over by Zhao Shucheng and the client information she was going to meet, she immediately became attentive.

The two of them came into the restaurant together, and Zhao Shucheng began to instruct Yan Ruyu on what to do. After the other party came, Zhao Shucheng started chatting with her, as if he didn't care about the situation of the other party's company at all.

This made Yan Ruyu a little anxious, but because she was not familiar with the situation, she didn't know what to ask, so she could only worry secretly.

After Zhao Shucheng sent the other boss away, Yan Ruyu finally found an opportunity and asked, "Shucheng, why don't you ask about his company's situation?"

Zhao Shucheng glanced at Yan Ruyu and said, "Xiao Yan, there are some things that don't have to be asked in a formal manner. After all, we are in an investment company, not a police interrogation of a prisoner. We need to adopt different attitudes towards different customers. For example, Mr. Liu just now is not willing to discuss cooperation in a formal manner. We need to adopt a chatting method to get the information we want unconsciously, such as Mr. Liu's personality and hobbies, his views on company management, etc."

“In fact, the investment industry is about investing in companies, but it is actually more about investing in investors, founders and teams. Although we also need to consider the business model, corporate culture, corporate vision, etc., the core is still investing in people. Because of the influence of market and industry development, it is difficult to accurately predict the future development of a company. The business environment and the problems faced by companies are also ever-changing. Only the character and ability of the founder and the team are the core competitiveness of the company. Ninety percent of the value of a company lies in the team, and most of the value of a team lies in the founder.”

"Especially in the Internet industry, the importance of the founder cannot be ignored. The founder's leadership and decision-making ability are crucial to the success of the company. After all, the Internet industry is highly competitive and often involves multiple aspects, such as technological innovation, business model, market share, etc."

“Sometimes having an idea is not enough. After all, even if your idea is brilliant, if the founder is not capable enough, even if you develop a new product, it will be quickly copied by your peers, or even compete with you directly. At this time, an outstanding founder can lead the company further, while a bad founder can cause the company to be acquired or even go bankrupt.”

Zhao Shucheng began to explain some tricks of the investment industry to Yan Ruyu. He didn't want his woman to miss opportunities because of lack of knowledge, nor did he want his future business to unknowingly miss out on good investment targets, or make investment mistakes and cause the company to suffer losses.

Qiu Shi enjoyed the care of Sura, but he didn't know that because of his relationship with Sura, Yin Shan finally got jealous and leaked Kingdee's bidding plan for the Bluetooth system to competitor Wu Weiliang while Qiu Shi was away from the company. Yin Shan even reached a private agreement with the other party to work together to bring down Kingdee.

Sura was also unhappy because he criticized the irresponsible practices of some scenic spots in a TV interview, which put Xingxing's reputation in the industry in jeopardy. Many cooperating scenic spots terminated their cooperation with Xingxing.

In order to retain his partners and allow Xingxing to survive, Liu Haodong had to travel to various tourist attractions to explain to them and let Sura take full charge of the family business.

Although Yan Ruyu was no longer causing trouble in Xingxing, other employees originally had objections to Sura becoming the company's manager in such a short time. Now that he was not punished after making a mistake and even became the acting general manager, their cooperation at work was a bit perfunctory.

Sura was suddenly in a state of panic. On the one hand, she had to go to the hospital to take care of the injured Qiu Shi, and on the other hand, she had to handle the company's business and appease the employees. She was extremely busy.

To make matters worse, Huatai knew that Xingxing's business was not doing well, but still snatched away Xingxing's customers. This made Sura unbearable, so he went directly to Bao Aihua to argue. However, Bao Aihua ignored him and directly rejected Sura's request to return the customers.

Yan Ruyu was also trying to adapt to her assistant job. In addition to daily affairs, she also had to organize information and resources, occasionally draft documents and write reports, etc. All of this made Yan Ruyu a little uncomfortable. After all, she had never done such a job before, and she had never thought that she would have to work so hard.

  This was different from what she had imagined. After all, she was Zhao Shucheng's girlfriend now. Shouldn't she be only responsible for chatting and flirting with Zhao Shucheng in the office and let others do the work?

But she couldn't tell Zhao Shucheng directly that she couldn't do the work, so she could only bite the bullet and work hard on her own, hoping to adapt to such work as soon as possible.

Zhao Shucheng could see that Yan Ruyu was not adapting, but he did not think about adjusting Yan Ruyu's work, nor did he think about human intervention to reduce her workload. Because this is something that every working person must go through, Zhao Shucheng did not want Yan Ruyu to be an exception in the company.

Besides, this is also Zhao Shucheng's way of training Yan Ruyu. Once she is really trained, she will become a good helper to him and make things easier for him.

Yan Ruyu originally thought that she was working happily, but then she received a call from her hometown, and her mood suddenly became not so good.

Her brother owed a large sum of money from stock trading and simply disappeared. Because Yan Ruyu had a cell phone, her parents thought she had made a fortune in Shanghai, so they called her crying every day and forced her to help her brother pay off the debt.

This made Yan Ruyu feel awkward. After all, although she and Zhao Shucheng were now boyfriend and girlfriend, she didn't want Zhao Shucheng to know about her family's predicament, which would affect their relationship. But she couldn't come up with any money. After all, she had only worked at Xingxing for a few months before. She sent part of her monthly salary back to her parents, and the rest was just enough for her own living.

Now she has left the travel agency and become Zhao Shucheng's assistant. Although her monthly salary is much higher than that in the travel agency, she has not received her salary for less than a month since she started working there.

When Zhao Shucheng and Yan Ruyu were going home from get off work, he noticed that Yan Ruyu was in a bad mood, but when he asked her, Yan Ruyu said that she was just tired from work. Zhao Shucheng saw that Yan Ruyu was unwilling to say it, so he didn't ask any more questions. He could only tell her not to work too hard and to take good care of herself.

Yan Ruyu looked at Zhao Shucheng, hesitated again and again, but still didn't have the courage to ask Zhao Shucheng about borrowing money.

The next day.

While Yan Ruyu was at work, she unexpectedly received a call from Liu Haodong, asking him to meet her outside. Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhao Shucheng who was busy in the office, and finally agreed.

She told Zhao Shucheng that Su La was looking for her, so she asked for half a day off. Zhao Shucheng didn't doubt it, so he directly approved Yan Ruyu's leave.

Yan Ruyu arrived at the place where she had agreed to meet Liu Haodong, only to find out that Liu Haodong had come to ask her for help with the travel agency. Because of Sura's outrageous remarks in a TV interview, Xingxing Travel Agency had to pay for a lot of medical expenses for the injured, which undoubtedly put Xingxing Travel Agency's funds under strain.

Although Liu Haodong has reached an understanding with many partners, the travel agency still cannot operate normally if the company's financial problems are not resolved.

That's why Liu Haodong thought of Yan Ruyu who worked in Zhao Shucheng's company, hoping that she could help him get some investment so that the company can operate normally and even get out of the predicament as soon as possible. Of course, it would be even better if Yan Ruyu could persuade Zhao Shucheng to help him make connections so that the companies invested by Zhao Shucheng could reach cooperation with their Xingxing Travel Agency during holidays and help the travel agency improve its business.

Yan Ruyu refused at first. After all, she knew that although Zhao Shucheng's company was engaged in investment, it basically invested in emerging industries such as the Internet and had no great interest in the travel agency industry.

But Liu Haodong came prepared. He directly gave Yan Ruyu a card and asked her to buy some cosmetics or clothes. He also promised that if they could really reach a cooperation and bring a tour group, he would give Yan Ruyu a bonus based on the number of people.

For Yan Ruyu, who was short of money, this money was a timely rain, and it was hard for her to refuse. So after hesitating for a long time, she finally agreed, but also said that she could not guarantee success.

Liu Haodong smiled and said: "Of course it doesn't matter, I am desperate, considering that you used to work at Xingxing, please help me!"

After Yan Ruyu returned to the company, she walked to the door of Zhao Shucheng's office and hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether she should go in.

When Zhao Shucheng was about to go out, he saw Yan Ruyu standing at the door, preparing herself mentally. He looked at her with amusement and said, "Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Ruyu was startled, then patted her chest and said, "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Zhao Shucheng said, "No, shouldn't you be the one scaring me? You're standing at the door like a door god. What's the matter that's bothering you so much?"

Yan Ruyu said, "Shucheng, you also know that because of the previous bus accident, Xingxing Travel Agency not only had to advance the medical expenses of many injured people, but also because of Sura's nonsense, many partners cancelled their cooperation with Xingxing. Now Xingxing is facing internal and external troubles. After all, I also worked in Xingxing for a period of time. Even my good sister Sura is still in Xingxing. I can't watch Xingxing go bankrupt, so I want to ask you if you can help them."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Yan Ruyu deeply, but he didn't believe that Yan Ruyu really begged him for mercy because of her feelings for Xingxing or because Sura was there.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Shucheng said, "Then how do you want me to help them? After all, I am not familiar with those scenic spots, so it is impossible for me to help them reach a settlement. I don't even have many tourist resources to help Xingxing get out of trouble."

Yan Ruyu said, "Yes, Mr. Liu has reached a settlement with many partners, but their company currently has some funding gaps. We are an investment company, so I would like to ask if we can invest in Xingxing to help them solve their financial difficulties."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head decisively and said, "Xiao Yan, you should know what I think. It's not that we can't invest in the tourism industry, but we will never invest in a travel agency. We invest in some asset-heavy companies or Internet companies. We need to be very cautious when investing in the service industry. Xingxing is a company that has just experienced a public opinion crisis, and it does not meet our investment review conditions, so don't mention this again in the future."

Yan Ruyu felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She touched the bank card in her pocket reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Liu and Sura."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Yan Ruyu and said hesitantly, "Xiao Yan, if they really lack funds and want to borrow some money to tide them over, I can lend it to them privately. But let me make it clear first that this money is not an investment, but a private loan, and Mr. Liu needs to set a repayment date. Of course, for your sake, I can not charge interest."

Although it was different from what she expected, at least Liu Haodong achieved his purpose of coming to see her. So after Yan Ruyu agreed, she directly told Liu Haodong the good news, which she thought was a good thing.

After hearing Yan Ruyu's reply, Liu Haodong couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that he really had no place to borrow money, but he hoped to get Zhao Shucheng's investment. Because as long as he could get Zhao Shucheng's investment, then even if he had connections with many companies invested by Zhao Shucheng, he could talk to them about cooperation.

But the result now is not bad. At least I have a deeper contact with Zhao Shucheng, so I don’t have to worry about not having the opportunity to contact other people in the future.

Zhao Shucheng directly entrusted Yan Ruyu to discuss the loan with Liu Haodong and let her practice. After signing the contract, Zhao Shucheng directly asked the bank to transfer the money.

After Liu Haodong returned to the travel agency, he was in high spirits and told his employees that his trip had yielded fruitful results. Not only did he attract many customers, but he also solved the company's funding problems, so that the employees no longer had to worry about whether the company would go bankrupt.
