A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 211 Return to Yanjing

The next morning, after packing up, Lu Cheng drove back to Yanjing with Chen Nanxing.

I came here alone, so the journey was inevitably a bit boring. But when I went back, I had Chen Nanxing with me, so it wasn't so boring anymore.

Along the way, although Chen Nanxing felt sleepy sometimes, he always cheered up and talked to Lu Cheng, chatting with him and sometimes even sang.

"... Lu Cheng, after returning to Yanjing, should I call you Mr. Lu? Will I have a dedicated office? Where is our company? Mr. Lu, can I interview you? Your family is so rich, you can enjoy life easily and happily, why are you still busy starting a business? Mr. Lu, can I ask you another personal question..."

Chen Nanxing always seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Sometimes she would ask about Lu Cheng, sometimes she would talk about herself, and sometimes she would talk about some interesting things that happened to her and Xu Hongdou during their college years.

They stopped at a service area at noon, ate something, rested for an hour, and then set off again.

By the afternoon, Lu Cheng, the driver, had not shown much fatigue, but Chen Nanxing was already a little tired and fell asleep while talking.

Lu Cheng turned off the music in the car and drove more steadily. At the same time, he adjusted the passenger seat so that Chen Nanxing could sleep more soundly.

They walked and stopped along the way, and it took more than a day longer than the time they came here. Lu Cheng finally brought Chen Nanxing into the city of Yanjing.

After sending Chen Nanxing to his residence, Lu Cheng also returned to his own courtyard.

Although he hadn't lived here for a while, Lu Cheng had always arranged for people to clean the yard, so it was still spotless.

After a quick wash and rest, Lu Cheng went to Dongzhimen Hospital and submitted his resignation request to the leadership. The hospital was naturally reluctant to part with Lu Cheng, a young and promising talent, but Lu Cheng had made up his mind, so the hospital had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to Yanjiao again to check out the production base of the small pharmaceutical company he had acquired. He also went to the experimental base under construction to check out the situation. He also took the time to meet with the leaders of the new company and several assistants he had recruited.

After all the busy work, it was already evening.

Lu Cheng sent a message to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, inviting them out for dinner, and the two girls naturally agreed immediately.

After returning home, Chen Nanxing rested for a day, finally getting rid of some of the fatigue from the journey and regaining his energy.

Xu Hongdou has been in very good shape recently. The new position, the new beginning, plus the salary which far exceeds her previous ones, make her full of energy.

If it weren't for Lao Ma, the person in charge of Junyuan Hotel, who forbade Xu Hongdou to work overtime, Xu Hongdou would probably have taken the initiative to work overtime to familiarize herself with the new job as soon as possible.

In fact, this is also normal. For many workers, with a salary of 5000, they may do a job worth 4000. With a salary of 1, they will try their best to do a good job. With a salary of , they will naturally make the value they create worthy of this salary.

Real money is the most effective way to motivate employees.

As for meetings, team building, and expansion training, they are basically PUA and brainwashing.

Many bosses still try to make their employees loyal to them, which is somewhat wishful thinking.

A company can retain employees only if it can give them a sense of growth, belonging, and achievement, rather than just making empty promises. And all of this is related to money.

In a private room at a restaurant in Yanjing, Chen Nanxing raised his glass and said, "Director Xu, this first glass of wine is to congratulate you on your promotion and salary increase, and further progress in your career."

At this time, Xu Hongdou didn't know that her new job was provided by Lu Cheng, nor did she know that Lu Cheng was her boss, and she didn't know that Chen Nanxing was already Lu Cheng's assistant.

Lu Cheng also raised his glass at the same time: "Congratulations, Director Xu."

Xu Hongdou was still a little embarrassed: "This time it was just a piece of cake that fell from the sky and hit me on the head. But I'll drink this first glass of wine. I'll buy the next meal."

"Director Xu is generous."

"Director Xu is very angry."

"Stop calling me Director Xu all the time. It makes me uncomfortable. Tell me, why did you come back so suddenly? Nan Nan didn't send me a message until he arrived in Yanjing."

Chen Nanxing glanced at Lu Cheng and said, "Of course I'm back to work. I'm in good health now, so I can't just rest all the time. But I'm not as lucky as Hongdou, who got a promotion and a raise right away. I'm just a small assistant now."

"Assistant? What's going on? Nan Nan, what kind of job did you find?"

"I'm working as an assistant to a big boss in a newly established pharmaceutical company. Although the salary is not as high as yours, it's still pretty good."

"Being an assistant to a big boss, male or female, how old is he?"

"Of course it's the male boss, he's about the same age as us."

"Where is the workplace? Is it close to us?"

"Well, it hasn't been decided yet. I'm still in the probation period and I don't even know where my office will be."

Xu Hongdou was stunned when she heard this: "What's going on? Why does it sound so unreliable to me?"

"Don't worry, the boss of this company is an acquaintance, and you know him too."

Xu Hongdou was even more puzzled: "I know him too? Who is he?"

Chen Nanxing laughed: "It's far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us."

Xu Hongdou turned to look at Lu Cheng: "Really? Lu Cheng, you started a company? You don't work at the hospital anymore?"

"Yeah, I don't want to work as hard as before without even a fixed day off, so I decided to start my own business."

"It seems that starting a business right now is quite risky. The economic situation in the past two years has not been very good. Have you thought it through?"

"Of course, the company has been registered, and everything that needs to be prepared has been almost completed. The company's first batch of products will be on the market soon."

"I don't really understand these, but if you need my help, please let me know."

"no problem."

"Then should we give a toast to Boss Lu?"

Chen Nanxing also immediately raised his glass: "Cheers to our Boss Lu."

After the meal, Lu Cheng called a designated driver and sent Xu Hongdou and the other girl home first, and then let the driver take him home.

Although Lu Cheng's alcohol tolerance does not affect his driving at all, the principle of "don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking" should still be followed.

On the other side, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing returned home, washed up, and lay on the same bed. Slightly tipsy, Xu Hongdou approached Chen Nanxing and said, "Nannan, you and Lu Cheng..."

"Hongdou, I think Lu Cheng might like you."

"I think Lu Cheng likes you. Otherwise, why would he let you be his assistant? After all, you didn't do this before."

"Actually... never mind, let's not talk about this for now. You'll understand later."

"What do I understand? Nan Nan, are you hiding something from me? Tell me clearly now. You are not allowed to sleep until you explain it clearly."

"Hongdou, please forgive me. I've been on the bus for several days and I need to have a good rest..."

"You and Lu Cheng drove back by yourself. You were alone, a man and a woman. Didn't any sparks fly?"
