Chapter 599: How Big Is the Face?

November 10, 2023, Friday, cloudy, -16°C.

Overnight, cold air swept in, and the entire Yancheng was shrouded in a crisp chill.

6:00 AM.

Cheng Qiuqiu woke up from her dream, her gaze staring blankly at the ceiling.

A layer of blush gradually rose on her face.

Last night, he appeared in her dream once again.

It might be because she was considering moving recently.

This time she actually appeared in Tang Song's home.

The strange thing was, she had clearly never been to his home, but in the dream, she seemed very familiar with every place.

Especially on that extremely soft and wide large bed.

Being held tightly in his arms.

That real, heart-palpitating touch, even after waking up, still remained clearly on her nerve endings.

After a long time, she slowly sat up from the bed.

Lifting the quilt, a chill struck, making her instantly sober.

Picked up the phone by the pillow, unplugged the charging cable.

Clicked on Xiaohongshu, entered the familiar account homepage.

Yesterday afternoon, with her help in making the pictures, Tang Song released the latest note celebrating the debut of the 【HEYISTUDIO】 brand.

After a whole night of fermentation, the data had completely exploded.

Likes broke 10,000, collections 5800+, comments exceeded 1600.

Tang Song's personal account followers also broke through the 80,000 mark with this wave of great heat.

In fact, now the name 【HEYISTUDIO】 had already caused quite a stir in the small circle of outfits.

That city windbreaker designed by Lingling created another GMV of over two million in last night's livestream.

Qiuqiu clicked on the comment section, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

In the comment section, most were shocked by this new brand that appeared out of thin air, and amazed at "April."

After all, in the eyes of many old fans, this "April" account was still the "electronic pet" they had raised step by step.

Although now they started brand cultivation, most people just joined the fun at first.

Seeing that terrifying livestream record now, they instantly transformed into "career fans."

Qiuqiu flipped through them one by one excitedly, a smile of shared honor on her face.

She liked all the positive comments she saw, reported the sporadic abuse, and couldn't help but go down to refute the bad doubts.

Like the most loyal "brainless fan," she fought in the comment section for quite a while.

Only then did she click on the pinned WeChat conversation box with satisfaction, her fingertips hesitating on the screen for a moment, typing seriously:

"Good morning, just looked at yesterday's note data, the feedback in the comment section is especially good, congratulations on breaking 80,000 followers (#smile)."

After sending, she sat there, starting to wait silently.

"Whirrr-whirrr-"

【Tang Song: "(^_^) Good morning Qiuqiu, I just saw the data too, it can be considered the best one ever. The recognition of the fans,

your pictures also contributed a lot."】

Seeing his reply, Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes instantly brightened.

"Tap-tap-tap" chatted with him for a few sentences.

Jumped up from the bed, spread out the yoga mat, and accompanied by soothing music, started her daily morning yoga.

7:30 AM.

When Qiuqiu finished breakfast and walked out of the kitchen.

Gao Mengting also happened to walk out of the master bedroom, with a messy head of hair, still carrying thick sleepiness on her face.

"Morning, Qiuqiu."

"Morning, Senior." Qiuqiu said softly, "I made breakfast, you eat while it's hot."

"Heh, indeed hungry." Gao Mengting rubbed her stomach, a gentle smile on her face.

Last night was overtime until late again, in order to maintain her figure, she didn't eat much late-night snack.

Cheng Qiuqiu pursed her lips, didn't speak.

The two sat at the small dining table in the living room, eating breakfast quietly.

After quite a while.

Qiuqiu finally gathered the courage to ask softly: "Senior, you said you planned to change houses last time, is it starting to look after Double 11?"

Gao Mengting's action of drinking soy milk paused slightly, then nodded, her tone natural: "Mm, it's still a bit far from the company here now, commuting every day is too wasteful of time."

As the Vice President and shareholder of Songmei Apparel, although the first dividend hadn't arrived yet, just relying on high salaries and performance bonuses, she had already achieved stage-based financial freedom.

And the company would also reimburse most of the daily expenses, she also wanted to change to a more comfortable environment that better matched her quality of life.

Actually, if possible, she really wanted to buy a house of her own in Yancheng.

Best to have a large terrace, a large bookshelf, and a floor-to-ceiling window on an entire wall.

Decorate well according to her own ideas, warm, full of literary atmosphere.

Gao Mengting put down the cup, looked at Qiuqiu opposite, and asked with a smile: "Are there any complexes you like near the company? We can go see them together."

Qiuqiu was silent for quite a while, she stirred the porridge in the bowl, seemingly organizing her language.

For a long time, she raised her head, her gaze carrying a hint of imperceptible apology and request.

"Senior—I want—I want to rent with Yao Lingling."

The smile on Gao Mengting's face paused slightly, looking at her somewhat strangely.

Qiuqiu hurriedly explained: "Senior don't misunderstand, I am very happy to rent with you. But with you and Tang Zong, I am ultimately not very convenient. You also know, I have some problems in that aspect. And, Lingling and I are both doing design, have a lot of common language, are very good friends."

Her words were a bit stumbling, but the meaning had already been expressed very clearly.

Gao Mengting looked at this big-chested junior sister in front of her quietly, and instantly understood.

However, she didn't point it out, nor did she pursue it.

Just sighed in her heart, then a gentle smile bloomed on her face again, reaching out to rub Qiuqiu's hair.

"Okay, that girl Lingling has a cheerful and generous personality, and has common language with you, you two living together will definitely be very happy. Just happened, Tang Song and I were discussing adding a housing subsidy benefit for our employees two days ago, by then you two rent a better complex."

"Mm."

Qiuqiu nodded lightly, finished breakfast silently, tidied up the kitchen, and started washing up.

Just returned to the bedroom.

"Ding—" WeChat video ringtone sounded.

【Mom】

Cheng Qiuqiu's originally relaxed eyebrows subconsciously furrowed.

Hung up directly.

After a while, WeChat notification sound rang.

【Mom: "Why don't you answer my call?"】

【Mom: "I've already cleared up the work here, planning to go to Yancheng to live for a while."】

Cheng Qiuqiu's face sank, her full chest heaving.

Typed: "I'm living very well here, you don't need to worry"

【Mom: "Always not letting me go see you, and you don't come back, are you living with that boy?"】

Qiuqiu: "No, the one I'm renting with is my Senior, Junfeng Ge knows, you can ask him."

【Mom: "Speaking of Junfeng, you really don't have a heart, not getting along well with him. Such an excellent boy, handsome and capable."】

【Mom: "Now he is a leader of a big group, very powerful, annual salary of several hundred thousand."】

Qiuqiu bit her lip, replied: "I'm going to work."

After sending the message, she clicked on Gao Junfeng's contact information and dialed it directly.

The phone rang a few times and was connected.

A faint voice came from the opposite side: "Hello."

Qiuqiu's tone was cold: "Junfeng Ge, did you say something to my mom?"

Her mom was originally a hot-tempered, impatient person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such an unhappy conflict with her, what she feared most was her mother suddenly rushing to Yancheng.

"Heh, you're thinking too much, right? Instead, Aunt Meihua often calls me, asking about my situation, and asking me to take care of you,"

Qiuqiu took a light breath, didn't speak.

"Qiuqiu, a friendly reminder," Gao Junfeng's voice paused, his tone carrying a smile: "Tang Song has a girlfriend, they confirmed the relationship a long time ago."

Qiuqiu bit her lip, "I know my own business, and we are not that kind of relationship."

"Fine." Gao Junfeng interrupted her, "We've been friends for so many years, just reminding you not to fall too deep. By the way, that girl is not a good person, she is a real top-level rich girl, her father is the new director of Zhongcheng Group, be careful yourself."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

"Beep—.. beep—.. beep—.."

Listening to the busy tone in the receiver, Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned on the spot, not reacting for a while.

Isn't Tang Song's girlfriend Senior Mengting?

What's going on with that rich girl?

Her heart instantly became a mess.

The taxi was driving on the crowded main road of the city.

Gao Junfeng put away his phone, the corners of his mouth raising a proud arc.

Now, he had successfully passed the news of Tang Song "stepping on two boats" to Tian Jing's ears through Qin Hua's mouth.

He didn't know Tian Jing's reaction for the time being, but that Supervisor Qin's reaction to this matter was extremely intense.

Later, when he was organizing new employee information, he "inadvertently" revealed the junior high classmate relationship between Zhang Lei and Tang Song to Qin Hua, and almost without him spending much effort, Ding Furong successfully entered the company and successfully got rid of Zhang Lei.

After all, he was just an assistant to Vice President Su Ping, actually didn't have much real power, all relying on Su Ping's face.

Wanting to do small tricks at this time, it was easy to leave a "record," to be grabbed by the pigtail by others in the future.

But with Qin Hua's "tacit approval," everything became logical.

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped outside the Zhongcheng Group Headquarters Building.

Gao Junfeng tidied his suit, a humble and professional smile on his face again.

Head held high, he walked into that rotating glass door and took the elevator upstairs.

Just sat down at his workstation, a figure leaned over.

Ding Furong put a steaming Luckin coffee and a croissant on his table carefully with a full face of smiles.

His voice full of flattery: "Feng Ge, good morning, brought you breakfast."

Gao Junfeng took it, biting into the croissant unhurriedly.

His gaze didn't look at him, but said faintly: "The company situation is tight recently, try not to come to me frequently, lest you be seen by people with intentions and talk nonsense."

"Yes yes yes, Feng Ge is right."

"Go back and wait with peace of mind, Zhang Lei is getting the fuck out today. Next, you work hard yourself, don't lose face for me. As long as you don't make mistakes, there will naturally be opportunities for promotion in the future."

He helped this university classmate enter Zhongcheng Group, not for free.

Ding Furong had already transferred him a "benefit fee" of 20,000 yuan privately.

This money, besides changing himself into a decent suit, he also specifically sent Qin Hua a valuable accessory.

Ding Furong immediately nodded and bowed, "Feng Ge is awesome! Then I'll go back first!"

After speaking, he turned and left quickly.

Returned to the 6th floor, walked into the office area.

At a glance, he saw Zhang Lei slowly drinking milk.

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, walking straight over, patting his shoulder not lightly or heavily.

"Leizi, the client information of those few KA clients on the handover list isn't ready yet? I have to visit clients tomorrow, don't delay my business."

Zhang Lei didn't even raise his head, "No."

Noticing the other party's tough attitude, the expression on Ding Furong's face paused, his eyebrows instantly furrowed.

"Must finish the handover before ten o'clock, this is not my personal matter, it relates to the company's performance and the department's image!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lei laughed out loud, "You are truly ridiculous, this client information is all in the system, if you are really in a hurry, why don't you hurry up and dig it?"

He now had Tian Da Young Lady as a backer, his spine was hard, not afraid at all.

And this information itself wasn't a necessary process for handover, but Ding Furong specifically wanted it to show himself off.

"What kind of attitude is this?!" Ding Furong didn't expect this soft persimmon to dare to call him out, "Can't be passive and slow just because you're leaving, affecting the progress of the whole team!"

His voice wasn't loud or small, just enough for the colleagues at the surrounding workstations to hear, instantly attracting the gaze of many colleagues.

Just as the two were tit-for-tat, department manager Liu Huiyang walked over.

Colleagues looked at the computer screen one after another, pretending to work seriously.

Ding Furong's gaze flashed, said "Manager hello," and returned to his workstation with a sigh, an innocent look of "I've tried my best to communicate."

Liu Huiyang came to Zhang Lei's side, leaned over, and lowered his voice: "Zhang Lei, I know you have anger in your heart, but don't make a scene, finish the handover first."

Zhang Lei just wanted to say something.

"Tap-tap-tap" a slightly hurried sound of high heels rang out.

"Manager Liu, you're here too! That's just right!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the HRBP of the Food and Beverage Division, Li Xin, walking over, a look of anxiety on her face, her tone hurried.

Zhang Lei's heart jumped, his heartbeat starting to accelerate uncontrollably.

Realized that Xiao Jing Da Young Lady had taken action!

Never expected that her action would be so fast, it was just work time!

Liu Huiyang was stunned, confused: "Director Li, what's wrong?"

"Mainly the matter of Zhang Lei in your department, let's go to the small meeting room to talk." Li Xin took a deep breath, "Zhang Lei, trouble you to come over too."

A hint of mockery flashed in the bottom of Ding Furong's eyes.

He knew that Zhang Lei was completely finished this time.

Looking at this posture, estimated that he couldn't even stay peacefully for the last day.

Have to say, Feng Ge is truly awesome!

He felt secretly refreshed in his heart, with this backer, he could also make a name for himself in Zhongcheng Group in the future.

Other colleagues around cast gazes of sympathy, indifference, or watching the fun toward Zhang Lei one after another.

Zhang Lei didn't say anything, just followed Liu Huiyang silently and walked into the meeting room.

More than half an hour later.

Just when everyone was about to forget about this matter.

"Ding-dong—"

In the enterprise WeChat, a 【Personnel Change Notice】 issued by HRBP personally suddenly popped up.

【After the review of employee files by the Group Human Resources Department, it was found that there was an assessment error in reviewing the transfer resume and performance report of Mr. Zhang Lei from the Quancheng branch. Now, after comprehensive evaluation and re-discussion by the management, in order to maximize the value of employees, with the special approval of the division management, it is decided to transfer Zhang Lei to the 'New Retail Strategy Project Team',

serving as a project specialist. This is hereby notified.】

Gradually, the sound of uncontrollable gasps and whispering sounded in the quiet office area.

Everyone's gaze was cast squarely on that figure who returned to his workstation.

The gaze was full of shock, confusion, envy, and deep awe.

Letting the leadership, especially the HR department that pays most attention to process correctness, publicly issue a document admitting their "assessment error"?

This was simply too outrageous!

There must be someone behind him, and still at the group executive level.

Zhang Lei sat there, only feeling a blood qi from the chest straight to the top of his head, making his cheeks flush red.

The 【New Retail Strategy Project Team】 was a core team formed by the Group COO, drawing elites from various departments, responsible for the group's most important transformation strategy in the future!

Before, don't know how many people squeezed their heads to get in, there were only a few positions.

Ding Furong looked at that notice blankly, his brain blank, completely unable to react.

Didn't they say they were going to let him get the fuck out?

How did he get promoted?

In that case—. Then what about him?

He himself was arranged to replace Zhang Lei, now like this, a premonition of bad luck surged in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Ding Furong clicked on Gao Junfeng's chat box, typing a message quickly.

Inside the independent office on the 17th floor of Zhongcheng Building.

Qin Hua was staring intently at the computer screen in front of her, her fingertips jumping quickly on the keyboard, adding comments one by one.

"Knock-knock-knock—"

Knocking on the door sounded.

"Please enter."

The door was pushed open, and Gao Junfeng walked in with a tight face.

Lowering his voice: "Supervisor Qin! There is a matter—don't know if I should tell you."

Qin Hua raised her head, eyebrows furrowed, "What matter? You say."

Gao Junfeng took a deep breath, said: "There was a personnel change in the Food and Beverage Division, that Zhang Lei I told you about before, suddenly transferred to the 【New Retail Strategy Project Team】."

The moment he heard it, he knew it must be Tang Song who found Tian Jing to take action, and the movement was very big.

Fortunately, he had transferred it once before, didn't take action directly himself, otherwise he was really afraid it would implicate himself.

Qin Hua's hand holding the mouse paused imperceptibly, her eyes instantly becoming sharp.

The 【New Retail Strategy Project Team】 was the group's focus, and even she herself held a position in it, wanting to get some gilding.

Actually, Xiao Jing spoke yesterday, she wouldn't really let Zhang Lei resign.

Just wanted to drag it out, after all, resignation handover must go through HR review, she had already greeted them there.

Didn't expect Xiao Jing to do this for her boyfriend.

And it was operating directly bypassing her.

This was equivalent to warning her openly.

Just at this moment.

"Ding-a-ling—" The internal landline on the table rang urgently.

Qin Hua glanced at the caller information, answered immediately, her voice calm: "Hello, Sister Yang."

Sister Yang Meiping's gentle voice came from the receiver: "Huahua, is it convenient to talk now?"

Qin Hua waved at Gao Junfeng, "Convenient, you say."

Gao Junfeng immediately retreated to the door sensibly, standing with his hands down.

"It's like this." Yang Meiping's tone couldn't tell joy or anger, "That Ding Furong in the Food and Beverage Division is an employee recommended internally by your administration office, right?"

Qin Hua pursed her lips, "Mm, right, seems to be recommended by an assistant below, what's wrong Sister Yang? Did his work have a problem?"

"That's not it." A light laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Just asking you casually, what's your impression of him?"

Qin Hua's eyes moved, after a short hesitation, she said slowly: "I think it's quite good, all aspects are quite suitable for that position."

"Heh, that's done. Nothing else, bye."

"Bye, Sister Yang."

Hanging up the phone, Qin Hua's fingers squeezed the receiver tightly.

She naturally knew what this call from Yang Meiping meant.

And her answer was equivalent to choosing to openly go against her best friend Xiao Jing.

If it were before, she would definitely not do this,

But now it was different.

Uncle Tian was exhausted because of the Huineng Electronics matter, unable to take care of Zhongcheng Group's internal affairs, and also hoped she could "guide" Xiao Jing more, letting her make the "correct" choice.

And her father had just become the new director.

She always felt that her best friend was put under a spell by that man, she wanted to save her.

Choosing to temporarily protect Ding Furong was also to see if Tang Song would make any tricks, and if she could take this opportunity to intensify the conflict between him and Xiao Jing.

Wait until Xiao Jing's birthday party, she would "inadvertently" shake these things out in front of their friends.

"Supervisor Qin?" Gao Junfeng's voice sounded again, pulling her back from her thoughts.

Qin Hua came back to her senses, her face returning to that gentle and appropriate calmness on weekdays.

"Alright Junfeng, I know about this matter. You go get busy, I have a count in my heart."

"Mm-hmm, okay." Gao Junfeng hesitated for a moment, a handsome smile he had practiced many times appearing on his handsome face, "That—today is Friday, is Supervisor Qin free tonight? A very authentic French restaurant just opened in Qiaoxi, the atmosphere is very—"

"Knock-knock-knock—"

A steady and powerful knocking on the door interrupted the invitation Gao Junfeng hadn't finished.

Immediately after, the door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

Suit straight, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, the three-seven hairstyle combed meticulously, looking mature and steady.

"Hello Tian Zong!" Gao Junfeng's body instantly tightened, looking at his "rival"—Finance Director Tian Guowen—somewhat nervously.

Tian Guowen's eyebrows raised slightly, smiling but not smiling: "Oh? Assistant Gao is also here."

"Came to report work to Supervisor Qin."

Tian Guowen didn't pay attention to him anymore, walked straight to Qin Hua's desk, and put a document in his hand on it.

"The information you wanted, delivered to you personally, are you moved?"

Qin Hua smiled, "Moved, thank you Tian Zong for lowering your status."

Tian Guowen took the opportunity to lean on the edge of her desk, arms crossed, "Free tonight? Let's have a meal together, by the way, discuss the administrative budget and resource allocation of the New Retail Strategy Project Team."

Gao Junfeng's eyes twitched violently.

A sense of powerlessness mixed with jealousy and unwillingness surged up.

Qin Hua paused, smiled apologetically, "Sorry Tian Zong, tonight—I already have an appointment."

While speaking, she also looked at the handsome "Assistant Gao" beside her intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing this sentence, Gao Junfeng's heart instantly surged with joy!

The corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed and rose slightly.

Sure enough! Qin Hua was moved by him!

Tian Guowen's gaze swept over Gao Junfeng, his eyebrows furrowing imperceptibly, "Oh? Then fine."

Qin Hua seemed completely unaware, reminding softly: "By the way Tian Zong, Sunday is Xiao Jing's birthday party, don't forget."

Tian Guowen's eyes flashed, smiling: "My sister's birthday, how could I forget."

The two chatted for a few more sentences, Tian Guowen turned and left with a hint of regret.

Qin Hua breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze turning slightly, "Assistant Gao, do you have anything else?"

"Then what time are we going tonight? Mainly depends on your time." Gao Junfeng looked at this rich girl boss who made him dream of her with full anticipation.

Qin Hua was stunned, then shook her head and laughed: "Very sorry, I'm not free tonight."

The expression on Gao Junfeng's face instantly solidified, "Oh, oh—then I'll go back first, you get busy."

Watching his departing back.

Qin Hua smiled faintly, noncommittal.

In her view, Tian Guowen was her biggest competitor now.

Once Xiao Jing's side "settles down," getting Uncle Tian's favor, plus her father's director status, the position of future CEO, she must fight Tian Guowen for it.

In that case, naturally she couldn't get too close to him.

And the key to everything was Xiao Jing's birthday party this time.

By then, not only Uncle Tian and some of his important friends in business would be present, but also several extremely excellent young talents were invited.

For example, that tech circle newcomer, the founder of Speed Power, Lin Jingming.

It is said that he has been confirmed to be on next year's "Fortune" magazine's "40 Business Elites Under 40 in China" list.

Besides that, according to her father's private disclosure, there was an even more heavyweight guest.

The second-generation heir of a top family office from Singapore, named Meng Chuan.

She specifically checked the other party's information online.

The family office he was in had deep cooperation with the famous Jingwu Capital, and was planning to carry huge capital to enter the mainland's new energy market on a large scale.

And Meng Chuan himself was a finance high-achiever who graduated from Columbia University, quite famous in the entire Asia-Pacific finance circle, and was the core person in charge of this expansion plan.

The other party happened to be contacting the struggling Huineng Electronics recently, so he was also specifically invited by Uncle Tian.

If Xiao Jing could walk together with a figure like Meng Chuan, then Huineng Electronics would get the support of powerful capital and technical background, and would definitely be able to come back to life.

And Tian family's crisis would also be solved.

With such a "precious jade" in front, regardless of family background, ability, or personal charm, all could be called top-level.

She wanted to see, how big is the face of that Tang Song who steps on two boats? ===== CHAPTER 600 =====
