Chapter 534: Advancing into Guangdong Province

"Honey, why don't we go take some wedding photos?" After coming out of Ouyang Sheng's wedding banquet, Chen Yang called out to Lin Wei, who was about to leave.

"We're divorced, and you only now think of taking wedding photos—what have you been doing all this time?" Lin Wei gave Chen Yang a glance, then got straight into her car.

Chen Yang immediately caught up, sat in the passenger seat, and said in a negotiating tone: "Honey, why don't we go get the certificate again, and sort out the wedding photos and banquet together?"

Lin Wei immediately refused: "No way! Governor Liu just told my dad he wants to move your meat company to Xingcheng. If we remarry, my dad won't even have the right to refuse."

Chen Yang said angrily: "If you won't remarry, I'll move the meat limited company to Xingcheng."

Upon hearing that, Lin Wei fiercely pinched Chen Yang's thigh and snapped: "Chen Yang, if you dare do that, from today on you're not getting into my bed, and you'll never see our son again!"

Chen Yang couldn't bear to let such a beautiful, sexy wife guard an empty chamber alone, and he sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Lin Wei softened her tone: "If you really want to take a photo, let's talk about it when I'm not busy with work."

Chen Yang saw her bringing up work again and replied unhappily: "When are you ever not busy? We were supposed to hold a wedding, but you kept postponing it by saying you're busy."

Lin Wei froze for a moment. After thinking it over, she realized it really was her fault. But facing Chen Yang, she still refused to admit it: "I do have free time, but then you're either in Xingcheng or Shencheng. So you share half the blame."

Chen Yang realized arguing with a woman was just wasting breath, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Lin Wei glanced at her watch, then gently pushed Chen Yang and said softly: "If there's nothing else, get out of the car—I still have to go to town for a bit!"

Hearing that, Chen Yang grew even more annoyed: "You have to work even on New Year's Day—does Shuangfeng Town grind to a halt without you?"

Lin Wei angrily pinched Chen Yang again and snorted: "If I weren't worried Grandpa would give you trouble, I wouldn't have bothered coming today!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang's anger subsided a bit. If Lin Wei hadn't come over, he would really have been put in an awkward spot by Old Master Lin today.

Since divorcing Lin Wei, Old Master Lin and Lin Jianye's family have cut ties with Chen Yang. Although Lin Xiaomi and Lin Junjie still study at Xingcheng No. 1 High School, they were also forced to move out of the Sunflower Garden Community.

On the other hand, Lin Jianguo's family and the people from the Hu family still maintain a friendly attitude toward him.

So, thinking back to how he ignored Lin Wei's opposition and invested in Dong'an County, Chen Yang feels like an idiot.

Three days later, after finishing his honeymoon, Ouyang Sheng officially reported to work at the Common People Meat Industry Co., Ltd.

At the company's executive meeting, Chen Yang formally appointed him as Marketing Director. Having learned from Xu Dawei's mistake, no one raised any objections this time.

After the meeting ended, Chen Yang summoned Ouyang Sheng to his office and then took out a bunch of keys from the drawer.

"These are the keys to the new apartment in Happy Farmland Community—consider it my wedding gift to you."

"Thanks, boss!" Ouyang Sheng quickly took the keys, grinning: "I knew you weren't that stingy—you only gave a hundred bucks as a gift."

Chen Yang gave him a look and said: "I'm giving you a house in front of all these people—aren't you worried the Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate your father and Director He?"

Ouyang Sheng snorted: "I walk the straight and narrow—let them investigate if they want!"

Seeing Ouyang Sheng full of energy, Chen Yang got straight to the point: "I pushed you into the Marketing Director slot despite opposition—if you don't do the job well, I'll take the house back."

Ouyang Sheng immediately slipped the keys into his pocket and said with a smile: "Boss, rest assured—I, Ouyang Sheng, can get anything done."

Chen Yang asked sternly: "For this trip outside the province to expand business, do you have any plans?"

Upon hearing that, Ouyang Sheng's attitude turned serious. He told Chen Yang: "Boss, I plan to first recruit a batch of people and send them to Xingcheng for training. Once they're qualified, I'll dispatch them to the provinces around Dongjiangsheng to develop business."

Chen Yang largely agreed with Ouyang Sheng's view; the company's salespeople are much like Xu Dawei—just slacking off. If we don't improve their business skills, we might as well send them to the workshop to do manual labor.

However, regarding overseas business expansion, Chen Yang still had a different opinion. He told Ouyang Sheng: "Our company is just starting to expand into other provinces—there's no need to rush. You should set your sights on Guangdong Province. It's where the nation's floating population is most concentrated; migrant workers from the central, northwest, and southwest regions all tend to gather there."

"Once we open the market in Guangdong Province, expanding into the surrounding provinces will be much easier."

Ouyang Sheng had been somewhat at a loss about developing the provincial market, but Chen Yang's reminder instantly cleared his thoughts. "Boss, you're really impressive. I was still thinking of studying Grandpa Deng's theory to feel my way across the river, but you just pointed and opened up Guangming Avenue for me."

As a Reborn Person, Chen Yang naturally knew better than Ouyang Sheng where the company's future development would suit best. He reminded Ouyang Sheng: "The more people there are, the fiercer the competition. Don't assume that just because our product has a little fame, we can afford to be lax."

Ouyang Sheng thumped his chest and said: "Boss, rest assured—I don't have those bad habits of state-owned enterprise cadres from Qingshui City. No matter what difficulties arise, I'll always put the company's interests first."

Seeing Ouyang Sheng's serious attitude, Chen Yang breathed a little easier. Over the past two years, aside from a rough start when he first did sales in Xingcheng, everything has gone smoothly for him. If he brings that sense of superiority to develop the Guangdong market, he'll surely hit walls everywhere.

Therefore, to avoid delaying important matters, he must first give Ouyang Sheng a warning.

After Ouyang Sheng left, Chen Yang called Zhao Xiaoxiao.

"Manager Zhao, arrange a market researcher position for Ouyang Sheng's wife in the Shencheng branch, then send her to Guangdong Province."

"Boss, that's not appropriate—around here the branch offices operate on fair competition. If you bring in a connection hire, I'll have trouble managing her! I suggest letting her take a temporary post at the Qingshui City branch instead."

"You won't train him into a qualified market researcher?"

"Training's no problem—I'm just worried that Ouyang Sheng's little guy will feel sorry for his wife, call me later to complain. You know, that guy has a sharp tongue."

"... Well, I'll first talk to his wife; if there's no issue, I'll have her come report for duty."
