Chapter 579: To meet
Luo Workshop’s branch in Xiahai was in the New Jinhua District. It was an area filled with manufacturing companies. Luo Workshop had merged its pastry and bread factories and had four large main entrances, each facing one of the cardinal directions. The landscaping was passable, and as they had only been able to settle earlier this year, the plants and trees inside the compound were not as mature as they were transported from elsewhere. But it was evident that this area’s development was going to flourish much greater heights in a couple of years.
“Look, over there! It’s our national goddess Su Li’s car!” someone exclaimed.
“How can you only spot Su Li’s car? The cars of Shen Qingyan from Huayao Group and Cai Renhe from Renhe Medicines are right behind hers as well,” another person said.
“The three giants of Xiahai have come together to visit Luo Workshop. This Luo Workshop sure is powerful!” said another.
“No one can disagree with that. Luo Workshop’s business and assets might not be comparable to the other three, but just withstanding the pressure coming from them has allowed Luo Workshop to establish a strong foothold in Xiahai.”
“The boss of Luo Workshop is way too mysterious. The Jin Clinic was established by him as well. I heard that Mr. Zhang Dashan is just the person-in-charge of Luo Workshop, but the real boss has yet to show himself.”
“That’s right. The employees of Luo Workshop have all signed a confidentiality agreement to keep the identity of the boss a secret. Besides, only those at the Department Head level can meet the real boss of Luo Workshop.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA group of reporters was gathered in front of Luo Workshop after receiving a tip-off. Presently, any news on Luo Workshop attracted public attention, so the reporters catered to public demand. As soon as Su Li and the others arrived, the reporters knew that this was going to be another big scoop, and the sound of their cameras kept clicking with the distinctive sound of shutters opening and shutting as they snapped photos.
The three cars were directed in by the Luo Workshop staff and glided into the office grounds.
After Su Li, Shen Qingyan, and Cai Renhe stepped out of their cars, Zhang Dashan, who was in a formal suit with a head of shiny black hair combed nicely, welcomed them with a smile.
“CEO Su, CEO Shen, CEO Cai. On behalf of Luo Workshop, allow me to welcome you!” he said, bowing graciously.
Zhang Dashan shook their hands. He was a competent manager in terms of work, and he made sure that he acted respectfully and refrained from being excessively tactile when shaking hands with the two beautiful ladies. Even though he was interested in Shen Qingyan, he conducted himself appropriately and kept a professional distance.
“Zhang Dashan, stop wasting time. We’re here to meet the real boss of Luo Workshop, hurry up and bring us to him,” Chai Zhiying did not pretend to be nice when she dealt with Zhang Dashan. She wanted to meet the boss of Luo Workshop as soon as possible.
She had voiced Su Li, Shen Qingyan, and Cai Renhe’s thoughts as well, so the other three did not try to interrupt her.
“There’s no hurry, no hurry at all. It’s not even 3 pm yet, let me introduce these two beautiful ladies beside me to all of you first,” Zhang Dashan continued, ignoring her affront politely.
Zhang Dashan moved his hand to introduce the girl on his left who looked roughly twenty-five or twenty-six years old. “This is the Department Head of our Sales Department, Ms. Li Zimeng. She’s in charge of everything related to the stores at Luo Workshop. It goes without saying that she’s capable, outstanding, hardworking, and beautiful. Back in Jiangcheng, it was because of Ms. Li that Luo Workshop was able to overcome all sorts of difficulties,” he said, beaming with pride.
“CEO Su, CEO Shen, CEO Cai, nice to meet you!” Li Zimeng raised her hand out and shook their hands with a smile on her face.
Cai Renhe had his eyes fixed on Li Zimeng from the moment he saw her. It was not like he had never seen pretty girls before, but it was the first time he met a woman as charming as Li Zimeng. Her charm exuded from within, making her look calm and confident at the same time. Any man would want to conquer a woman like her.
Su Li and Shen Qingyan were also quietly giving Li Zimeng the once-over. It was something every woman would unconsciously do when they saw a potential competitor. Tall and slender, with a devilish look and decked in business attire, Li Zimeng was at par with both of them.
“This person over here is the Department Head of our R&D department, Ms. Luo Qi. Most of the unique and new pastries and bread from Luo Workshop were all created thanks to that genius-like brain of hers,” Zhang Dashan said.
“Nice to meet you!”
Luo Qi greeted them with her delicate voice. She had huge eyes and a tiny mouth on her exquisite-looking face, and she exuded a cute and lively aura. Luo Qi looked at Su Li with worship written all over her face and said, “Goddess Su, I’m a fan of yours. I went to your Jiangcheng concert last year. I also enjoy listening to your songs and watching the dramas that you’ve acted in. Once you’re done meeting our boss, can you please take a photo with me and let me have your autograph?” Luo Qi looked overwhelmed and breathlessly.
“Sure, no problem at all,” Su Li said, nodding her head with a smile on her face.
“That’s great. Thank you, Goddess Su!” responded the excited fan.
Luo Qi was so happy that she was bouncing around, grinning from ear to ear, and her eyes were crescent-shaped.
“Cough, cough... We’re talking about work now, what on earth is all this about?”
Zhang Dashan said with a straight face, but in the next second, began to chuckle and turned to Su Li. “If Goddess Su doesn’t mind, please let me have your autograph as well. I gave the one you gave me last year to my mum. This time around I have to keep it for myself, hehe...” he said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone else was speechless.
...
The VIP meeting room at Luo Workshop was simple yet elegant. The symmetrical decoration highlighted a sense of calmness, elegance, and sophistication, but it looked grand and luxurious at the same time. Above them was an impressive square-shaped chandelier. A textured carpet covered the floor. A conference table made of solid wood sat in the middle of the room, with nine seats on each side and two seats at both ends. There were speakerphones placed on the table for every seat, for anyone who wished to use it.
“CEO Zhang, it’s already 3 pm, may I know when the boss of Luo Workshop will arrive?”
Cai Renhe was not a guy who could patiently wait for long periods. He usually had people waiting for him, and now that he was waiting for someone else, he could barely retain his composure.
“No hurry, no hurry, he’ll be here when he’s here. Drink your tea, let’s drink our tea, and we can look at the beautiful view outside. This meeting room is located right on the top floor, so you have a clear view of the entire park through this window. What a beautiful view,” Zhang Dashan said. historical
Outwardly, he looked calm but was anxious as hell on the inside. He thought, bloody hell, what the hell is that Old Xiao doing? I told him to be here at 3 pm, why is he not here yet?
“Though Sumir might have lost, that doesn’t mean that we have to work with Luo Workshop. If you’re fooling around with us, then we’d rather announce that Sumir will be shutting down,” Chai Zhiying said furiously, slamming her hands on the table.
“Ms. Chai, hold on, we can win. Oh, err, I mean the boss of Luo Workshop will arrive soon. I just hope that you guys won’t... hmm, won’t be too surprised,” Zhang Dashan remarked, then stopped himself from saying anything else.
“Surprised? Don’t tell me the boss of Luo Workshop is a national leader. What a surprise that will be, huh!” Chai Zhiying sneered.
Zhang Dashan smiled but did not respond to her taunt. “Drink your tea, drink your tea,” he said.
Su Li drank her tea quietly. Quiet and elegant, smart, and beautiful, she did not pay much attention to what Zhang Dashan had said. If this dragged on any longer and exceeded her patience, she would leave without any qualms. She had her dignity and pride. It was not like Sumir could not afford to lose.
