Chapter 1347 515: Persuading Lu Zhining!

Even though Zhang Jingdong appeared very composed on the surface, Lin Qingci, having been with him for so long, could still sense something was off.

She already had some suspicions about Lu Zhining's relationship with Zhang Jingdong, and at this moment, she was secretly convinced that their relationship was anything but ordinary.

Even if the two of them weren't together yet, they definitely already had feelings for each other.

But with her emotional intelligence, she naturally wouldn't point this out now, so she said to Zhang Jingdong, "Boss, I've brought them here for you, I'll be leaving now."

Lu Zhining, due to this statement, instantly confirmed the relationship between Zhang Jingdong and Lin Qingci.

Because, although Lin Qingci tried her best to tone it down, Lu Zhining still heard the few traces of coquettishness hidden in her tone.

Zhang Jingdong finally came to his senses at this point and immediately said, "Alright, you can go ahead."

Lin Qingci turned around to glance at Liu Fang, and then "by the way" gave a look at Lu Zhining before turning and leaving the office.

Watching the door close, Zhang Jingdong instantly felt much more relaxed and extended his hand, "Please have a seat, Senior Sisters."

Liu Fang and Lu Zhining exchanged a look and then each took a seat.

At this moment, Liu Fang was obviously a bit nervous since Zhang Jingdong now counted as her boss.

And not just her direct boss, but her boss's boss, as she was merely a contracted influencer under one of his group's subsidiary companies.

So she even felt a bit fearful toward him now.

And Lu Zhining suddenly also felt a bit nervous because Zhang Jingdong was now going to talk business with them as the company boss.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this, so he deliberately took on a boss's manner: "Fang, how did you feel about what they just discussed with you?"

Liu Fang paused and then said, "I'm satisfied, I... I'm very pleased, rest assured, I will certainly work hard."

"As long as you're satisfied. Also, they should have mentioned your training plan and account strategy, right?"

"Yes, they mentioned it, I'm very pleased with all of it too. In these two days, I'll quit the job I found before and officially start operating my account."

Zhang Jingdong saw that she had made up her mind and nodded in satisfaction, "Good, then I officially welcome you to join our company. From today, we're colleagues!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang finally relaxed and smiled, "From today, you are my boss, and Lulu officially becomes my lady boss!"

Lu Zhining immediately said, "Fang, what... what are you saying? You're not allowed to speak nonsense!"

Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily, "Because of your words, Fang, you'll receive an additional 2,000 yuan bonus this month."

Liu Fang immediately lit up, "Thank you, Boss!"

Then she turned to Lu Zhining, "You see, our boss acknowledged it, Lu Zhining, what are you being shy about?"

"You..."

Before Lu Zhining could finish, Zhang Jingdong directly asked, "Fang, have you signed the contract?"

Liu Fang instantly understood and replied, "Not yet, I was just about to sign it."

"Alright, then go sign the contract now. I have some matters to discuss with Lulu."

"Okay!"

With that, Liu Fang promptly got up and left the office.

When Lu Zhining turned to see the door closing, for some reason, she suddenly felt inexplicably tense.

Zhang Jingdong naturally noticed this and teased, "Why didn't you let me know ahead of time, lady boss, that you'd be gracing us with your presence?"

As soon as Lu Zhining heard this, she immediately realized he had reverted to being that carefree self from school.

So she half-jokingly said, "If I had told you beforehand, I probably wouldn't have met the brilliant President Lin today, would I?"

Zhang Jingdong was instantly stumped.

But he was an old hand after all, and quickly recovered, saying, "What I meant was to personally pick you up. How could it be to cover things up?"

Lu Zhining pouted, "So you're admitting it?"

Zhang Jingdong pretended to be indifferent, "Do you want to listen to my reasons first, and then decide whether to be mad?"

"Go ahead, I'd love to hear how convincing your reasons can be."

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, "I assume you saw it when you came in earlier, our company's scale may not yet match those in the Fortune 500, but it does have hundreds of employees."

"There are also several subsidiaries, just the management alone consists of seventy to eighty people."

"What I want to say is, I can't handle such a large company all by myself."

"And as I don't have siblings, and my parents and relatives are all in my hometown and cannot assist, I can only use some special methods to find people I can trust."

"And among these, the most effective and repeatedly proven method is using my own women."

Reaching this point, Zhang Jingdong glanced at Lu Zhining's expression, then continued, "I really have no choice; when a company reaches a certain scale, many things are beyond control."

"For example, your core team might suddenly be poached by another company at a high price; one of your executives might sell the core content of the company's latest project to another company, or even worse, your finance manager could transfer all the money in the accounts to a foreign bank."

"Don't think of these as fairy tales because they have all happened in reality, although, up until now, they haven't occurred in our company."

"Moreover, once a company grows to a certain scale, you will encounter all sorts of competitors."
