Chapter 82: Switched to a Range Rover

After Chen Yang approved the purchase of a car, Shen Anna bought a Mercedes-Benz for her own commute, and also bought a top-of-the-line Range Rover for Chen Yang.

Then she also bought an Iveco van and four Wuling mini trucks. The Iveco is used to pick up and drop off employees, and the mini trucks are used to deliver goods to customers or stores.

The total cost of the seven vehicles exceeded 2.5 million. Shen Anna originally hoped Chen Yang would buy them in his personal name, but after discussing with the accountant Qian Duo Duo, they finally chose to use the company account.

After Chen Yang announced that the new store's location had been confirmed, Shen Anna let Zhao Xiaoxiao accompany her and personally drove to the site to take a look. Overall, she felt satisfied.

Chen Yang, this boss, although some of his actions are hard to understand, he is still quite reliable in his work.

Back at the company, she then convened a meeting of all management in her capacity as CEO.

When Chen Yang went to sit in on the meeting, he noticed there were two additional male managers. After Shen Anna introduced them, he learned that one was in charge of marketing and the other of warehousing. Zhao Xiaoxiao seemed a bit guilty, and as soon as Chen Yang arrived she lowered her head and pretended to look at documents.

Chen Yang didn't really care about Zhao Xiaoxiao's reaction. Although she is also a beauty, Chen Yang is not into older women, so he doesn't feel attracted to women ten years older than him. Moreover, whether it's looks or figure, Zhao Xiaoxiao doesn't compare to Lin Wei.

Chen Yang gave Zhao Xiaoxiao a camera, purely as compensation for having her run errands the past few days. According to the reward standard he gave Zhao Xiaoli, a digital camera actually counts as saving a lot of money.

Shen Anna's meeting topic was discussing the issue of opening the new store: whether to enter the market gradually, store by store, or to open all at once.

The head of the marketing department is named Wang Ziqiang, and he was the first to speak up with his opinion.

"Our newly hired salespeople are still in training and have not yet been assigned to various regions to formally carry out related business. At this point, if we were to simultaneously supply large quantities of goods to both Xingcheng and Qingshui, I worry that our existing inventory might fall short."

"The head of the warehousing department is He Yifei, and he also shared his opinion: 'Our company still hasn't rented a suitable warehouse, and the new employees are still in training. Opening a store now seems a bit rushed.'"

"As a full participant in the new store, Zhao Xiaoxiao also gave her view: 'Many of the shops the boss bought are still operating, and related compensation is still under negotiation. If we rush, this cost will increase significantly.'"

After Shen Anna heard them finish speaking, she turned to Chen Yang and said, "Boss, what do you think?"

Chen Yang naturally also supported the gradual approach. If things got too aggressive and the company ended up losing money, the losses would be his own.

Since everyone's opinions were aligned, Shen Anna began assigning tasks. She had Wang Ziqiang send his staff to Qingshui as soon as possible to discuss business. With the list provided by Deputy Mayor Xu Li of Qingshui City, the business difficulty would be low and stable.

She also had He Yifei settle the warehouse leasing within a week. Without a warehouse, storing and sorting goods would be very troublesome.

After the meeting ended, Shen Anna again brought up the dormitory issue with Chen Yang. She said Luo Hao had privately promised his former team that newcomers would also be guaranteed single rooms. She asked Chen Yang if he could fulfill that promise.

What Chen Yang currently needs is computer talent, and he agreed without hesitation.

In fact, let alone arranging single rooms; as long as Luo Hao's people can build the online sales platform for him before Taobao's launch, even giving away houses would be no problem.

After leaving the company, Chen Yang went to Liu Shijie's office to return the BMW car keys.

Liu Shijie was very happy about Chen Yang's arrival.

"Busy person, when will you take me to the stock market to make another profit? My money in Qingqing's account is about to get moldy."

"You should look for Su Mingyue when it comes to stock trading!"

"She can't. I asked her if she could make money, and she always answers vaguely, with no confidence at all."

"The stock market is inherently unpredictable; no one can guarantee a hundred percent profit. If you want to earn steady money, you might as well focus on real estate."

Liu Shijie immediately became interested. "Chen Yang, are you also optimistic about the real estate market?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Yang said: "If I weren't bullish on real estate, how could I have bought a unit from you? My money didn't just blow in from the wind."

Liu Shijie thought about it and agreed. "Since Chen Yang arrived, the units in Sunflower Garden Community have been selling much better." He suddenly recalled something and asked Chen Yang, "Is Zhao Xiaoli working for you?"

Chen Yang did not deny it. "She's recently been helping me find shops. What, do you regret letting her go?"

Liu Shijie sighed. "He is a bit reluctant to part with Zhao Xiaoli, but for the sake of family harmony he can only bear the pain and let her go."

Chen Yang then asked him, "Does your sales department have a new manager now?"

Liu Shijie looked at Chen Yang doubtfully and said, "What's the problem?"

Chen Yang asked, "Is the new manager recommended by your sister-in-law?"

Liu Shijie immediately understood the implication in Chen Yang's words, his face turning somewhat gloomy. He believed his control over the company was very solid, never expecting to be secretly monitored by his own wife. This was too terrifying.

Chen Yang's goal was just to vent for Zhao Xiaoli. Seeing Liu Shijie's emotional shift, he knew his purpose had been achieved. However, since this is ultimately an internal matter of Liu Shijie's company, as an outsider it's not appropriate for him to offer advice.

After chatting a while longer, Chen Yang stood up to say goodbye. He walked with a light yet firm stride into the spacious but somewhat dim underground parking lot of Xinhe Building. The air was filled with a faint smell of gasoline and the dust left by passing vehicles. Chen Yang's eyes eagerly scanned the surroundings, looking for Shen Anna's customized Range Rover.

Finally, in a corner, I spotted it. The vehicle sat still there, like a slumbering giant beast, exuding an aura of dignity and nobility. Its body lines flowed smoothly and naturally, as if a masterpiece of nature; the paint shimmered with dazzling light, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Upon closer look, I was even more shocked by its top-tier configuration. Oversized wheels paired with high-performance tires seemed ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment. The exquisite interior used the highest-grade leather, its fine, soft touch making one reluctant to let go. The seats not only had electric adjustment but also massage and heating functions, providing the utmost comfort. The center console was equipped with the latest intelligent system, the large screen displaying clearly and easy to operate. The sound system was top-notch, playing music as heavenly as a celestial lute.

This top-of-the-line Range Rover is undoubtedly the king of automobiles, every detail exuding luxury and quality. Driving such a car back to the countryside not only turns heads but is also extremely comfortable.
