Chapter 9: The Discerning Eye for Gems
Moreover, there is that blank check
Liu Feiyang is indeed very young, at thirty-two years old. Chen Hai respectfully addresses him as Manager Liu. Liu Feiyang and Chen Hai hit it off immediately, and the knowledge that Chen Hai possesses comes into play. During lunch, as they sat together, Chen Hai's erudition quickly attracted the attention of those around them.
Among so many beautiful women, selecting just one will test whether Chen Hai has the discerning eye to recognize a gem. He bought a bottle of water and sat on the flowerbed by the roadside, looking around. A familiar face caught Chen Hai's attention, and he immediately rushed over, placing his hand on the young woman's shoulder: "Wait!"
Chen Hai stuck out his tongue, appearing unconcerned: "Then I will package one up for her to see. At that time, it won't be her evaluating you, but rather you showcasing yourself in front of the boss."
As soon as she returned to the office and the library, Xiao Meiting threw the documents in her hand onto the table and said, "This time, you are definitely doomed"
Xiao Meiting sighed: "This is the only way. Go ahead and do what you need to do. There is one thing you must remember: we are like grasshoppers on the same boat now. If anything comes up, feel free to call me; I am your support. By the way, if you have any issues, you can also reach out to Manager Liu. He is a veteran in the company, and besides, the packaging matters are closely tied to the public relations department"
It is truly unlikely to say that women would dislike Liu Feiyang. He is tall and strong, appearing in formal attire, which is sure to captivate all the women in the room. His Mandarin is so standard that he could easily host the evening news. While he may not be as handsome as Pan An, his overall charm is undeniable. Could it be that Wu Jie cannot stand Liu Feiyang being so young yet on equal footing with her?
His gaze was resolute and full of determination. Xiao Meiting surprisingly wanted to evade, but she saw Chen Hai smile briefly before he left. The place Chen Hai was heading to was called Dongmen, a location that was always crowded, whether on weekdays or weekends. It is a hub for shopping and dining, characterized by a large number of girls.
This city is one of the strongholds of the reform and opening-up policy, and it is adjacent to Hong Kong, leading to a more open mindset. The girls here are very fashionable in their appearance and do not hesitate to adorn themselves. As Chen Hai watched the slender beauties walking back and forth in front of him, his eyes were dazzled.
"You can rest assured to go on your business trip," Chen Hai said. "If it really comes to that, I will take on all the responsibilities myself and will definitely not put you in a difficult position. If I lose my job, I can always find another one!"
Sister Ting, what does this mean? Although Chen Hai was shocked, he was excited; he did not expect that the opportunity to showcase his martial arts skills would come so soon.
On his first day at work, Chen Hai only managed to understand the company's structure and the profiles of all the artists under the company. In addition to the essential company departments, the main departments currently are the Operations Department and the Public Relations Department. The Operations Department is composed of various agents and is primarily responsible for discovering and packaging artists. The Public Relations Department also has significant responsibilities, mainly dealing with the media to promote the company's artists through positive channels. If any of the artists under their management encounter negative news, the tasks of the Public Relations Department become even more daunting. These two departments are interdependent; neither can function without the other. However, the heads of the Operations Department, Sister Wu, and the Public Relations Department, Liu Feiyang, do not see eye to eye.
Liu Feiyang could not understand, no matter how hard he tried, how someone of Chen Hai's age could be so knowledgeable about the ways of the world, so seasoned as if he had lived for over a hundred years. The two quickly bonded over their shared interests, even agreeing to refer to each other as brothers when outside the company. This only made Wu Jie view Chen Hai with increasing disdain. On the third day after Chen Hai's arrival, during the morning meeting, Wu Jie unexpectedly announced that she would let Chen Hai independently manage an artist, claiming it was to promote the rapid growth of newcomers. Not only Chen Hai, but even Xiao Meiting was completely shocked.
I understand. "Chen Hai looked directly into Xiao Meiting's eyes: "I will definitely not let you down."
Xiao Meiting glared at him and said, "You make it sound so easy! You are just an ordinary person now, completely clueless about how to package things. Honestly, I have a business trip tomorrow; what should I do? I never expected that she would act so quickly against you."
Chen Hai does not care about the salary; 800 yuan is far beyond his expectations. In the 1990s, the average salary for ordinary people was only around 200 yuan, while civil servants might earn a bit more, around 400 to 500 yuan. It seems that this company is indeed wealthy, or perhaps they have given him preferential treatment out of respect for Li Jiacheng
Chen Hai responded with a sound and was about to take action; staying in the company would not allow him to discover the newcomers. Just as he reached the door, Xiao Meiting called out to him: "Wait a moment, I have a saying to share with you. The so-called traps are all set by yourself; the opponent merely tightens the rope. If you wish to escape, do not give the opponent the opportunity to tighten the rope."
"During the upcoming period, I will not be in the office. She is taking advantage of this gap to make things difficult for you." Xiao Meiting placed her hands on her hips, deep in thought: "You are a newcomer, and just being able to assess people accurately is already a challenge, let alone packaging them. Most importantly, you are my responsibility. If you do not succeed, I will also be implicated. Next month, our company's boss will return, and at that time, she can hold me accountable. The worst-case scenario is that you could be dismissed as well"
