After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

Chapter 397: President Shuo Visits Ali

Mingzhou
Chen Shuo walked out of the Mimi Technology Building with his hands in his pockets. The driver had been waiting for him in the president's car for a long time.

Fang Keli opened the back door and held onto the door frame.

Chen Shuo glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "I won't take the company car today."

Fang Keli didn't understand what Chen Shuo meant: "Mr. Shuo, this is your car."

"This is not my car, it's the company's car. I'm just exercising the 24-hour use rights for all employees." Chen Shuo sighed, "The company is struggling right now. How much gas would it cost to drive this broken car? I can't bear to part with it."

"You have to set an example and call a Didi." Chen Shuo sighed.

Fang Keli took a breath and said, "Boss Shuo, there's no need to do this. Even if you go there by bicycle, people won't think that Mimi Technology is going to go bankrupt tomorrow, right?"

Chen Shuo's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? Come on, get a bicycle. You pedal and I'll sit on the back."

Fang Keli quickly took out her cell phone and started calling an online taxi.

If we continue, we will have to walk to the Alibaba campus.

Didi was launched in 14, and started spending a lot of money to grab market share in 15. Uber from abroad also attacked the domestic market. Now taking a taxi is the same as ordering takeout. It is purely a charity, and merchants, users and drivers all make money.

At that time, Uber also launched a president-level online car-hailing service, in which the CEOs of various companies served as online car-hailing drivers. Applicants who got a car could talk with the CEO for fifteen minutes, and if all went well, they would get an offer.

It's just a way to attract attention.

Nowadays, if you take Didi, you may actually get a luxury car. These are all rich people and second-generation rich people who feel it is new and come here to experience life.

Fang Keli got an ordinary vehicle, and the two of them traveled light and went to Ali.

Today, Ali is decorated with lights and is in a festive mood.

Ordinary employees didn't feel anything, but the senior management could clearly sense Teacher Ma's excitement and happiness.

This little happiness started when Chen Shuo made an appointment to meet Teacher Ma two days ago.

"No, is it worth it for Teacher Ma to be so happy that Chen Shuo came to visit?"

This doubt lingered in everyone's mind.

Teacher Ma, dressed simply and casually, walked into the office with a smile on her face and instructed the service staff: "Take out my box of tea and wipe the window again. Yes, that box."

After giving the instructions, Mr. Ma turned around and asked his secretary, "Has Chen Shuo left yet?"

The secretary immediately said, "I just sent a message to Mr. Shuo's secretary. Mr. Shuo and his party are on their way."

"Okay, okay."

Teacher Ma smiled slightly: "Tell me when you are almost there, and I will go downstairs to pick him up. Chen Shuo has not been having a good time recently."

The secretary felt a little speechless.

How can I describe Mr. Ma's emotions now?
The secretary thought for a long time and finally came up with a more appropriate metaphor: it's like you have an undisciplined son at home, who is making trouble outside and has achieved great results, but suddenly, the son encounters an insurmountable obstacle, and finally has no choice but to come back to seek help from the elders.

Teacher Ma feels a bit like this now.

He, the Lord, has succeeded.

His face was full of the expression: You've come to this day, kid!
The ill-fated relationship between Chen Shuo and Mr. Ma began when Ali’s investment department wanted to forcibly acquire Chen Shuo’s live streaming platform.

In various occasions and business competitions, Chen Shuo never had a good face towards Ali. Every day he either criticized this or that, and criticized Ali to no avail.

Now it's fine, why don't you try spraying it again?
Aren’t you just here to pay your respects and call me daddy?

Mr. Ma also knows that many young people on the Internet like to call him "Papa Ma", but Mr. Ma thinks it is unlucky.

But if it was Chen Shuo
Very beautiful. Very beautiful!
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Shuo is only one traffic light away." said the secretary.

"Okay, let's go downstairs and call a few executives who are at home."

"Yes!"

Several administrative staff from the general manager's office followed behind, muttering to each other.

"MiMi Technology is now facing internal and external troubles. Do you think President Ma will help Chen Shuo?"

"I don't think so. Chen Shuo had offended our CEO Ma so much before. Did he really think that he could put an end to the past by just visiting? When did CEO Ma become so good-tempered?"

"I think so too. Chen Shuo is a scoundrel. Last time, he shamelessly took away so many building materials."

Everyone came to the square in front of the main building of the park, and Teacher Ma was still smiling.

Then an online-hailing car whizzed past, braked suddenly, and then slowly reversed to Teacher Ma.

An executive's face suddenly changed.

"Who is so rude that he drove his car here? Let him go!"

“It’s time to come up with an internal policy on how to register foreign vehicles!”

Teacher Ma waved his hand, frowned and said, "Stop talking."

At this time, the back door of the online car-hailing vehicle was pushed open and Chen Shuo got out of the car.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Boss Ma!" Chen Shuo raised his hand and greeted, "Long time no see, I missed you so much, how are you these days~"

Teacher Ma was also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Why did you take a Didi car here? Why, is life already so difficult?"

Chen Shuo shook hands with Mr. Ma, sighed and said, "The company has had some major problems lately. I set an example by selling all my cars to make up for the shortfall."

"Is it such a big problem?"

"Yeah, it's very difficult. In a few days, I won't even be able to afford a taxi."

A dead duck has a tough mouth.

When we say that Chen Shuo is stubborn, we don’t mean that we really think he is so poor that he doesn’t even have money to take a taxi. Rather, no matter how big the trouble Chen Shuo gets into, he is used to showing it all through his eccentric behavior.

Teacher Ma laughed and joked: "Then you probably don't have money for dinner. I'll take care of dinner tonight, so you don't have to pay for it."

"That's great. How about this? I'll call the company and ask all the employees of Mimi Technology to work with you in the future?"

"."

One old and one young, one tall and one short, looked at each other and then laughed heartily.

After laughing, he went into the house.

Arriving at Teacher Ma's office, Chen Shuo sat down with his hands on his knees, his back straight and his eyes not looking away.

A vice president-level executive was personally distributing tea.

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Shuo with a smile: "Mr. Shuo, why are you so restrained today? Relax a little. I still like your unruly look from before."

Chen Shuo was very modest. He waved his hand and said, "The situation is different now than it was in the past. I dare not be rebellious anymore."

"Hahahahahaha, that's right."

"?"

Teacher Ma was very proud and smiled very happily. In one word: awesome!

"Come, have some tea."

Chen Shuo picked up the tea bowl and said, "How can I drink this kind of tea? It's too high-class."

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

Mr. Ma was a teacher by profession and was very much like a father. Although he liked to brag sometimes, there were few people in the company who could arouse his interest in education.

But today Chen Shuo came, and Teacher Ma felt it necessary for him to go to the podium again.

Don’t ask who is on the podium. In such a serious occasion, please behave yourself.

Holding the tea bowl, Teacher Ma looked at Chen Shuo with a smile: "Mr. Shuo"

Chen Shuo chuckled and said, "Boss Ma, just call me Xiao Chen."

"Okay then, Xiao Chen."

How dare you shout like that?
Chen Shuo responded: "Hey~~"

Teacher Ma made a gesture of invitation: "Feel free to smoke. The ashtray is ready for you."

"Okay, okay." Chen Shuo took out a pack of crumpled Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket.

Upon seeing this, the vice president thought that this was an over-acting, so he took out his own He Tian Xia and lit it for Chen Shuo.

Teacher Ma crossed his legs and said, "When I came back from the meeting in the capital last time, I knew that your life would be very tense recently. Although the live broadcast platform was successfully sold, it also means that the biggest money-making business is gone."

Chen Shuo: "You are right."

He put the bag and the world in his pocket.

The deputy general manager's eyes twitched and he took out another pack.

Teacher Ma continued, "I did help you sort out your connections. There are indeed a lot of people who have set their sights on Mimi Technology recently. Your style of doing things is young and flamboyant. During the development period, you were very open and aggressive, and did not adopt refined management, which led to the mixed crowds in the company now."

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Teacher Ma smiled even more broadly: "In fact, as long as we defeat a few of the strongest ones, the rest will disperse."

"What a coincidence, I happen to have some connections with those people."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo put down the tea bowl, pulled the hem of his clothes, stood up and walked to sit next to Teacher Ma, patted his thigh, his face full of gratitude.

"Boss Ma, don't say anything. Thank you. I will always remember your kindness. From now on, if I see your car in Mingzhou, I will definitely avoid it!"

Teacher Ma: "?"

No buddy, did I say I would help you?
You are too familiar.

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Shuo with a smile: "It's too early to talk about this now. You don't know the seriousness of the matter yet. Let me tell you in detail. Hey, why did you leave?"

Chen Shuo: "I'm going to kneel down and listen. Fang Keli, get me a cushion. The floor tiles are too hard for my knees to bear."

"Don't."

Teacher Ma stopped Fang Keli, wondering why Chen Shuo's secretary was so straightforward and actually went to get the cushion.

"Just sit and listen."

Teacher Ma began to talk; "In fact, the seeds of disaster have been planted since you founded the live broadcast platform. Don't be dissatisfied, I will explain it to you in detail."

Why don’t you say that the root of this disaster was planted when I was born?

Chen Shuo humbly accepted the advice.

"Blah blah blah, this is the current Internet landscape. Not only are there many powerful forces, but all businesses are competing with each other by burning money. It may seem prosperous, but if you are not careful, you will be doomed, including large companies like us."

"I mean the ones in our Ali and Goose City."

What do you mean?
Chen Shuo personally poured a cup of tea for Teacher Ma.

Teacher Ma moistened his throat and continued to speak. He seemed to never get tired, and Fang Keli felt drowsy after listening to him.

Chen Shuo secretly observed that the several executives accompanying him always maintained a positive and high-spirited state. They listened carefully to Mr. Ma's teachings and would say "yes", "right", "as expected" from time to time.

At the same time, the expression must also be in place, and micro-expressions such as sudden enlightenment, so that's how it is, and it's worthy of Mr. Ma, I suddenly get a sudden enlightenment, etc. must be shown at the right time.

It's exactly like students listening to their teacher's lecture.

"Pretend to Understand"

"So Chen Shuo, you have a big problem right now."

Teacher Ma smiled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to have a good chat with you for a long time, but you've been so popular recently that you'd think I'm meddling if I tell you this."

Chen Shuo responded immediately: "Boss Ma, I now understand that people can never teach others, but things can teach people accurately. Boss Ma is letting me fall on my own, and then helping me!"

I haven't said I'll help you yet.

Teacher Ma waved his hand and said, "As for what you are going to do in the future, I will talk to you about it later."

Fang Keli was about to fall asleep when the phone in her bag started vibrating.

I took it out and saw that it was a call from the company's general manager's office.

Fang Keli got up quietly and walked out of the office to answer the phone.

Not long after, Fang Keli came back, leaned over to Chen Shuo, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Come, Xiao Chen, have some tea." Teacher Ma had just finished a long speech and invited Chen Shuo to drink tea together.

After listening to Fang Keli's report, Chen Shuo slowly crossed his legs.

Teacher Ma: “?”

Chen Shuo waved his hand: "How can I drink this kind of tea?"

At the beginning, Chen Shuo also said this, meaning that my current status is not worthy of drinking such high-end tea.

Now, the meaning is very clear, is your tea worthy of being drunk by me?
Teacher Ma didn't know what was going on yet, and said, "It's okay, drink it, I have plenty here."

Chen Shuo: "Then your life is too hard."

Teacher Ma: “?”

Chen Shuo put down his crossed legs and laughed, "Teacher Ma, I understand everything. Your teachings have enlightened me. I can't wait to go back and solve the problems within the company."

Trouble within the company?
If the external problem is not solved, the internal problem will never be solved.

Teacher Ma looked at Chen Shuo and asked, "What about the external ones?"

"External?" Chen Shuo spread his hands, "The external issues have been resolved."

Teacher Ma was struck by lightning and looked at the executives around him.

Could it be that these people guessed my intentions without my knowledge and thought that I would definitely help Chen Shuo, so they did it behind my back?
Even if you do, don't do it now.

I still have several one-on-one tutoring sessions to finish!
Teacher Ma remained calm, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "That's really congratulations, but I'm curious about who helped you. It's okay if you don't tell me."

"What can't be said?"

Chen Shuo sat up straight, looking hopeful: "These two seniors whom I admire the most and admire the most in this world have come to help me."

"They are all men standing at the top of their industries. They are my role models and benchmarks that I will follow throughout my life!"

Teacher Ma: “.”

There is an inexplicable emotion evaporating.

Teacher Ma: Mingming, these compliments should all belong to me.

Chen Shuo rubbed his hands and said, "Teacher Ma, I will come to listen to your teachings another day. Now I have to rush back to the company to take charge of the overall situation. Recently, various businesses have been hesitant due to obstacles. I have to hurry up and catch up with the progress."

"There's no time to lose. I'll leave now. Fang Keli, call a taxi!"

"Okay~"

Fang Keli took out her cell phone: "I'll call Didi now."

Chen Shuo: "Why call Didi? Ask the company's driver to drive my freshly waxed Rolls-Royce over here!"

Do we still need to pretend to be frugal now?
Come and tell me, I am Chen Shuo, the chairman of Mimi Technology, a powerful and extremely handsome man. Can I take an online taxi when I go out?

"."

Teacher Ma sat on the sofa: "Aren't you staying for dinner?"

"No, no, I'm not in the mood to eat."

"Call if you have anything."

Chen Shuo stopped and turned back to Teacher Ma, whispered a name in his ear, and then said, "This person has been targeting me, and he is hiding very deeply. Teacher Ma, what do you think?"

Teacher Ma had also heard of the name that Chen Shuo reported, and he could deal with it.

But, the quality is too low!

Solving this little trouble will show how powerful I, Mr. Ma, am!

But Chen Shuo's expression was also quite noticeable: Who told you to be so slow? Look, the troubles have been solved by others.

It’s not that I don’t give you the chance, it’s that you can’t seize it, Xiao Ma.
