If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

January 1, 21: am.

Because Chu Yanyan was bored, she came here to play with Xia Zhijin. Li Yuan did not bring her with him, but only took Zhong Tingyue to the company.

As for Bai Weixi, she went to find her parents and Li Zixia, preparing to buy some New Year's goods from Shanghai in advance and bring them back to her hometown.

Driving Zhong Tingyue's Porsche 911, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue chatted about daily life in the car.

"Xiaoyueliang, how did you and Aunt Gu celebrate the Spring Festival in the past?"

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan, recalling the scenes of the previous New Year's celebrations, and slowly spoke:
"In the past, most of the time, I would spend the New Year with my mother in my home in Suzhou. Sometimes, I would go back to my grandmother's house with my mother to celebrate the New Year..."

"My grandmother's home is in northern Jiangsu, close to the sea and not far from Suzhou City. When I was a child, the happiest time was when I spent the New Year at my grandmother's home. It was very interesting there."

Li Yuan asked, "What about your father?"

Zhong Tingyue paused.
"He is very busy, and has many other women and children outside. He rarely has time to spend with me and my mother. My relationship with him is also very ordinary. The number of times we can meet in a year is also very few."

"Growing up, I was no different from other people in single-parent families, and I never felt my father's love. After I was born, I felt like a tool..."

When Zhong Tingyue talked about these things, she did not show too much sadness. She is a very strong and opinionated girl.
"Let's not talk about these bad things. I should be happy when I'm with you."

"Hehe, senior, my mom asked me a few days ago what I would do for the New Year this year. Should I spend the New Year with her or go back to my hometown with you?"

Li Yuan drove the Porsche with one hand while reaching out to touch Zhong Tingyue's hand. After hearing what she said, he smiled and asked:
"Oh, Xiaoyue, what did you say to Aunt Gu?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled playfully: "Hehe, senior, guess!"

Li Yuan thought about the scene when Zhong Tingyue said this to her mother, and smiled:
"I think you would say that."

The scene of Zhong Tingyue and Gu Lanxin talking emerged in Li Yuan's mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he imitated Zhong Tingyue's tone and expression.

"Mom, I don't know either. Let's see what Li Yuan arranges first!"

Hearing Li Yuan's answer, Zhong Tingyue's clear and sexy eyes opened wide, revealing an exaggerated expression.

"Senior, how do you know I said that?"

Li Yuan shrugged and smiled: "Because we are in sync with each other! Hahaha!"

Seeing Li Yuan's funny look, Zhong Tingyue burst into laughter, as bright as a spring flower, dispelling the cold outside.
The time spent with Li Yuan is always extra relaxing and happy, like a butterfly hiding under a towering tree. Even if there is a violent storm outside, it can still fly happily under the tree...

"Senior, when will you leave the Magic City?"

Li Yuan calculated the time in his mind.
The Spring Festival of 2009 was on January 1th, and today was January 26st. He would first accompany Xia Zhijin back to the mountain city, and then go directly back to his hometown in northern Anhui before New Year's Eve.

He has to stay with Xia Zhijin in the mountain city for at least two or three days. So, he has to leave the Magic City in these two days.

Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue, touched her head, and said with a smile:

"Today is the 21st. Around the 23rd, I plan to go to Shancheng first to send Zhijin home, and then fly back to my hometown in northern Anhui."

"Oh, it's almost the Spring Festival, so air tickets should be in short supply. Would you like me to book one for you?"

Zhong Tingyue still had a smile on her face.

Li Yuan shook his head: "I'll let Zhi Jin go and order it. It will be more convenient. Her cousin will go back with us."

"Zhi Jin's cousin? The pretty girl named Chu Yan Yan?"

Zhong Tingyue was stunned, and an equally beautiful figure appeared in her mind. She still remembers the other party's answer at the "Milk Tea Sister" award ceremony a few days ago.

Because of that incident, she didn't have a particularly good impression of Chu Yanyan.

After receiving a 10 yuan bonus from the "Cha Yan Yue Se" company, he refused to say a single good word about Li Yuan and the company on stage, which almost made Li Yuan lose face.
Li Yuan didn't know Zhong Tingyue's little thoughts, and still smiled and said:
"Well, she is the daughter of Zhijin's third uncle. If we go back together, we can have someone to take care of her."

Zhong Tingyue nodded, but did not continue the topic, and asked again:
"Senior, regarding the development of the "Cha Yan Yue Se" milk tea shop next year, what plans do you have?"

Listening to Zhong Tingyue's words, Li Yuan smiled slightly, pinched her smooth and delicate face, and said jokingly:
"My dear Mr. Zhong, do you have any plans for the future development of "Cha Yan Yue Se"?"

"Tell me first!"

After being teased by Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue's cheeks turned slightly red. She stared at Li Yuan with her sexy and charming eyes, opened her tempting red lips that made people want to kiss her, and spoke proudly.

"Hmph, then I said, you are not allowed to laugh at me?"

Li Yuan laughed: "I will listen attentively to Mr. Zhong's business plan and I promise not to laugh."

"Unless you can't help it!"

"Hmph, you naughty senior, if you want to make fun of me, I will, I will, wait until you go to sleep at night and bite you, hmph!"

Zhong Tingyue glared at Li Yuan with her beautiful eyes, snorted lightly, and threatened him with her eyes.

However, she didn't know how destructive this special threat would be to a psychological "old man" like Li Yuan.

"Senior, let me tell you, it's just my idea, I'll give you a reference."

She is very concerned about the "Cha Yan Yue Se Catering Co., Ltd." which she established together with Li Yuan.

Apart from the time spent dating Li Yuan, he spent most of his time learning various knowledge about corporate management and business development, constantly enriching his brain.

He has gradually transformed from a "novice boss" into a "professional general manager", managing nearly two hundred people in "Cha Yan Yue Se" in an orderly manner.

Only by letting Li Yuan, a "hands-off boss", can he go out with other girlfriends, write, exercise and write novels with peace of mind.
It can be said,
In the development process of the "Cha Yan Yue Se" milk tea shop, if Li Yuan is compared to the brain, then Zhong Tingyue is the limbs, seven orifices, and central nervous system.
Also a specific executor.

"Senior, we now have 40 stores in Shanghai, covering almost all core areas, such as shopping malls, pedestrian streets, universities, and areas surrounding colleges. Because it is positioned as a high-end brand, I think the development potential of 'Cha Yan Yue Se' in Shanghai has been almost fully tapped, and we can expand to surrounding major cities."

Li Yuan drove and listened patiently.

Xiaoyueliang's idea coincided with his, and he already had a plan in mind.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the "Milk Tea Sister" national selection event, continue to expand the scale and quickly seize the high-end market in major cities
Li Yuan asked: "Xiaoyueliang, expansion is a must. Which cities do you think we should expand to? How can we ensure logistics supply and, most importantly, customer recognition?"

Zhong Tingyue already had the answer to Li Yuan's question in her mind.

She smiled faintly at Li Yuan, slightly parted her teeth, and expressed her views.

"Senior, I think the direction of our development should first give priority to those large cities with high consumption levels, such as the imperial capital, Shenzhen, Yangcheng, Jianye, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other large cities. Large cities have high consumption levels and many wealthy people. Only in this way can we give full play to our brand strengths."

"As for logistics, I think we can take a bigger step. With Shanghai as the center, as the company's headquarters, we will mainly carry out product research and development and processing, establish a warehousing and logistics center, and radiate the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area. Then, we will set up company branches in the Bohai Rim and the Pearl River Delta metropolitan areas, and also establish small-scale logistics circles, which will solve the problem of cargo flow."

"Senior, didn't you also say that in the next few years, housing prices in major cities across the country will rise sharply?"

"We can definitely stock up some shops and properties with good locations in big cities like Beijing and Shenzhen while developing milk tea shops."

Li Yuan nodded secretly after hearing this, as many of Zhong Tingyue's ideas coincided with his.

Of course, this was also because he had expressed many of his views on this matter to her before, and Zhong Tingyue believed in what he said and consciously brought it into the business plan.

"As for how to enhance the value of the brand, hehe, with your reputation and so many fans across the country, especially those fanatical female fans, there is no need to worry about it at all."

"People tend to follow the crowd and compare themselves with others. Just like Starbucks, the taste is not much better than other coffees, but people are willing to spend money to order a cup. The same goes for luxury brands, such as Hermès and LV. This is also a kind of IQ tax..."

"In addition, we can also organize some special activities in various business districts to further enhance the appeal and brand value. Just like what you did before, use some online water army, publish some soft articles, etc., to create a brand circle..."

As Li Yuan listened to Zhong Tingyue's business plan, he couldn't help but take a deep look at this moon goddess with her stunning beauty, perfect figure and high academic qualifications.

It is often said on the Internet that appearance and IQ are inversely proportional, like "big breasts mean no brains" and so on.

But this situation does not exist at all in Zhong Tingyue's case.

Her IQ is directly proportional to her appearance.

As Zhong Tingyue was talking, she noticed Li Yuan staring at her with a strange look and felt a little panicked.

Did I say something wrong?
She met Li Yuan's gaze nervously and asked timidly:

"Senior, did I say something wrong?"

Li Yuan pinched Zhong Tingyue's nervous face, smiled, and praised her deeply:

"Xiaoyue, I realize that I really underestimated you before. You are a rare business genius."

After hearing Li Yuan praising her instead of saying something wrong, Zhong Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, senior, don't praise me, I'll be proud!"

Li Yuan shook his head, stared at Zhong Tingyue's big watery eyes, and spoke seriously:
"Xiaoyueliang, what I said is true. I haven't thought of some of your ideas. According to the business plan you just mentioned, our Cha Yan Yue Se will definitely get better and better and develop faster and faster." "I have a hunch that one day in the future, it won't be long before we can make Cha Yan Yue Se a listed company..."

"Really?"

Zhong Tingyue's eyes curved into crescents and she looked very happy. Being evaluated in this way by Li Yuan made her feel very happy and had a great sense of gain and accomplishment.

"Of course it's true!" Li Yuan smiled and continued, "When have I ever lied to you? I'm not the kind of man who speaks sweet words."

Zhong Tingyue covered her mouth and chuckled, and playfully joked: "Yes, yes, you are a straight man."

Being described by Zhong Tingyue as a "straight man of steel", Li Yuan smiled and said indifferently:
"Xiaoyueliang, come up with a plan first. Make it more specific. When we come back, we will discuss it with Xiaobai, Zhijin and the others, and implement it after the New Year..."

“Strive to become bigger and stronger, create greater glory! Work hard to go public, and achieve financial freedom!”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Zhong Tingyue smiled sweetly: "Okay, okay, dear senior!"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yueliang, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Some of the company's employees should go home for the New Year. But given the nature of our company, we can't just close down."

"I think an appropriate holiday overtime incentive plan can be introduced to keep the business open during the Spring Festival holiday."

"As for how to compensate and which employees should be allowed to take leave, you should discuss this with General Manager Su and the others and come up with a plan."

Zhong Tingyue nodded. She had already thought about this matter in her mind.

The Spring Festival is a particularly important festival for the Chinese people.

Rich or not, go home and celebrate the New Year!
As a service-oriented catering industry, if you want to keep people working overtime, you must pay a higher price to make employees willing to stay.

Then there is only one best way!
Add money!

Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

"By the way, Xiaoyueliang, you and I will go to the company later. When you are in Shanghai, you can also go and greet King of Glory and Zhihu.com. Especially King of Glory, which has just been launched and is at a critical stage."

Hearing that Li Yuan was going to hand over the "power" of the three companies to her, Zhong Tingyue teased Li Yuan with a half-smile:
"Senior, why do I feel like you are planning to train a strong woman so that you can be a hands-off boss?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly: "No way, it's because of you, Little Moon. What can you do with your intelligence?"

Zhong Tingyue heard the words "smart and capable" in her ears. She blinked her eyes, put her head close to Li Yuan's earlobe, kissed it gently, and said seductively:
"Smart isn't necessarily true, but 'capable' is true. Am I right, senior?"

Hearing Zhong Tingyue's seductive tone and teasing actions, Li Yuan suddenly became distracted and a nameless fire suddenly burned in his belly.
Li Yuan smiled mischievously: "Little Moon, you have to try it yourself to see if you can do it or not."

"After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, am I right?"

Zhong Tingyue's heart pounded as she listened to Li Yuan's suggestive words. She clamped her legs together unconsciously, knowing that Li Yuan was about to leave the Magic City and they might not see each other for ten days or half a month.

She also wanted to cherish every moment with Li Yuan, and wished she could merge her body into his and never separate.

These are young men and women in love.

I don't know how to get tired or stop, I just want to stay together and study the true meaning of the origin of life.
Zhong Tingyue blinked at Li Yuan, her seductive red lips slightly opened, exuding a charming breath, adding a bit of ambiguity and charm to the sports car.

"So, Senior, do you want to test it now?"

His girlfriend had said so much, and if Li Yuan continued to remain indifferent, there was no need for him to go to the company.

Just turn around and go to the hospital for a physical check-up.

"Hey, that's a must."

Li Yuan smiled mischievously:
"Let's go to the company now."

Zhong Tingyue was slightly stunned. She had already made it so obvious, why was she still going to the company?
Before she could speak, Li Yuan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said jokingly:
"Hey, Xiaoyue, don't be anxious. You'll know when you get to the company."

Seeing Li Yuan's naughty smile, Zhong Tingyue's heart trembled, and she thought of a possibility. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she looked at Li Yuan with shyness and expectation.
Longyu Building, Datang Technology Company.

Many employees were discussing the statistics of the first day of the launch of "Honor of Kings" and this year's holiday arrangements.

"Sister Liu, you are from the game sales department. What was the real situation yesterday? I heard that yesterday, on the first day of the launch, sales exceeded 100 million. Is this true?"

A young programmer with balding hair asked another middle-aged woman next to him excitedly.

The middle-aged woman who was called "Sister Liu" was named Liu Tao. She was the head of the company's game finance department. When she heard someone inquiring about "company secrets", she immediately became alert.

"Xiao Yu, what do you want to do? This is the company's core secret. Have you forgotten the company's confidentiality regulations?"

"Sister Liu, I'm just curious!"

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly, a hint of regret flashed across his eyes, and then quickly returned to normal.

Sister Liu has a very good impression of this brother who has nimble hands and eyes and a sweet mouth.

So I kindly reminded her, "Xiao Yu, you have just entered the workplace. As a sister, I would like to remind you that in a company, especially a technology company like ours, you must strictly abide by confidentiality regulations. Don't ask about secrets that you shouldn't ask about."

"Otherwise, if there is a leak and it causes great losses to the company, the company will definitely pursue legal responsibility. In the company I worked for before, someone snooped into the company's secrets and gave them to a rival company. He was caught by the company's legal department and sent directly to prison. His life was over."

As if thinking of some bad experiences, Sister Liu paused and reminded quietly: "Director Tan of the Legal Department of our Datang Technology Company cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes."

Hearing the words "Minister Tan", Xiao Yu trembled, looked around with a guilty conscience, and only felt relieved when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
Tan Zhonghua, the director of the company's legal department, is a direct descendant of the company's big boss. He is the boss's eyes in the dark and is responsible for supervising the company's personnel to safeguard the company's interests.
After Li Yuan brought Zhong Tingyue to the company, he first listened briefly to the reports from Hu Zhenqiang and others.

Today is the second day of the launch of "Honor of Kings". Compared with the first day, the number of new registered users has decreased slightly, but the sales data has increased again.

According to data feedback, it is mainly reflected in the fact that some users are willing to spend money to recharge and purchase game products such as inscriptions, heroes and skins after downloading the game and becoming familiar with the operation.

For game enthusiasts, charging hundreds or thousands of yuan for a game is nothing, just a drizzle.

For example, in some games played by Wangyi Company, some wealthy players would recharge tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

That is the real "pay-to-win game".

The current "Honor of Kings" can only be regarded as a "poor man's game". Even if you buy all the skins, inscriptions, heroes, etc. that are now online in the game, it will not cost you more than 10,000 yuan.
Of course, this is also because at this time in "Honor of Kings", there are not many "limited" and "honor collection" special heroes and special skins.
As long as the game is attractive enough and can attract enough players, "Honor of Kings" can focus on releasing heroes and new skins in the future and continue to harvest gold coins.

Just like Li Yuan himself, he is not a heavy game enthusiast.
But even so, I still spent thousands of yuan on games I played in my previous life, such as LOL, Honor of Kings, CrossFire, etc., to buy skins and props, etc.
……

In the conference room,

Li Yuan arranged and deployed the company's work.
As bachelors, Hu Zhenqiang and Xie Zheng, the two kings of the paper, did not wait for Li Yuan to give orders, but took the initiative to propose not to go home for the New Year, and to stay in the company to work overtime and contribute to the company.

I didn't even ask about overtime pay.

Li Yuan was deeply moved by such a spirit of dedication. If it were him in his previous life, his heart would have been elsewhere.

"Ahem, Mr. Hu, Xie Zheng and other key members of the company are willing to sacrifice their time with their families for the company. On behalf of the company, I would like to thank you all."

"However, you still have to get the overtime compensation you deserve, not a penny less. During the Spring Festival holiday, you will be subsidized at five times your salary, and it will also be counted as annual leave. After the New Year, you can take paid leave."

"Everyone else, follow the order of the staircase holiday. Everyone, please make arrangements."

"Although our company is in a critical period because of the launch of "Honor of Kings", I still hope that everyone can go home and reunite with their parents and relatives for the New Year."

After listening to Li Yuan's words, many employees in the conference room were moved and shocked, and wanted to sign up eagerly.

The 14-day Spring Festival holiday, calculated at 5 times the salary, is 70 days' salary.

Everyone present here has a monthly salary of more than 1 yuan. Even if we calculate it at 400 yuan a day, they can earn 28000 yuan in overtime pay during the Spring Festival holiday, which is a huge sum.

What's more, after the Spring Festival holiday, you can take paid leave and make up for the holiday. This 28000 yuan is equivalent to pure profit.
Immediately, many employees raised their hands and volunteered to stay.
"Mr. Li, I suddenly remembered that I've broken up and my parents are going on a trip, so I should stay too."

"Mr. Li, my parents are coming to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year this year, so I'm not going back."

After arranging the company's Spring Festival holiday, Li Yuan finalized some documents that required his signature.

By the time everything was done, it was already around noon.

Zhong Tingyue replaced Xia Zhijin's role as "President's Secretary" and performed "role-playing" to familiarize herself with some of the company's business.

Just now at the meeting, he also introduced Zhong Tingyue to other key members of the company. When he was away, if there were any important emergencies, they would report to Zhong Tingyue...

Li Yuan stretched lazily, looking at the beautiful "Secretary Zhong", his index finger moved immediately, patted his thigh, and said with a smile:

"Secretary Zhong, stop being busy and come and sit here."

"Let's study the structure of human life!"
