Zhong Yi leisurely drank tea in the private room, the fresh fragrance of the tea leaves spreading in his mouth, truly intoxicating.
He slightly narrowed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility, completely ignoring Liu Na glaring at him beside him.
Occasionally he could hear a bit of Zhang Wanqing's voice from outside, as if she was fiercely arguing with someone on the phone.
Zhong Yi was also secretly pondering how the situation would develop next; regarding this entrepreneurial opportunity, he was both full of expectation and some worry. After all, this was a brand new beginning, full of unknowns and challenges.
After five minutes, Zhang Wanqing opened the door and walked into the private room, handing the phone to Liu Na and saying: "You go out and answer the phone."
Liu Na reluctantly took the mobile phone and went out, glaring fiercely at Zhong Yi before leaving. Zhong Yi, however, didn't care at all, continuing to leisurely drink tea.
After Liu Na went out, Zhang Wanqing walked to Zhong Yi's side, somewhat embarrassedly saying: "Sorry, Zhong Yi, my dad is just worried about me. You also know, he's always not at ease with me doing things alone."
Zhong Yi put down the teacup, looking at Zhang Wanqing and saying: "Understood, parents always worry about their children. So what do we do now?"
Zhang Wanqing hurriedly said: "I've already told him, that aside from shares which cannot be touched, I can make decisions on any other person or matter. The conditions I promised you before are all fulfilled, including the requirements you mentioned today, which I can agree to. But there is one point: Liu Na might not be able to leave for the time being, hope you can understand."
Zhong Yi slightly furrowed his brow, saying: "Why can't Liu Na leave? She's so uncooperative, how will the work proceed in the future?"
Zhang Wanqing explained: "After all, Liu Na is my father's assistant; he did it for my own good, letting Liu Na stay to help me. And Liu Na has her own capabilities; as long as we communicate well, we should be able to cooperate. However, I guarantee that in the future I will be the General Manager of the company, you will be the Deputy General Manager, and Liu Na counts as an assistant to the two of us. Do you think that works?"
Zhong Yi thought for a while, feeling that he could only do it this way.
He was not someone who insisted on being right, so he agreed. But he still voiced his doubt: "This company only has three people left; why does your father care so much about shares? The shares aren't worth much anymore, are they? Are they even worth more than the compensation for those employees you fired?"
Zhang Wanqing helplessly smiled and said: "This company was founded by my dad and mom from scratch; it holds special meaning for them. Although they didn't continue operating it, they also don't want to hand the company over to others."
Zhong Yi nodded; he couldn't understand the thinking of rich people—not wanting to operate a company but also not wanting to give it to others; he couldn't figure it out.
At this moment Liu Na came in holding the phone; judging by the expression on her face, she should have been scolded. There was a bit less arrogance in her eyes than before, and a bit more helplessness.
Zhang Wanqing looked at Liu Na and said: "Liu Na, let me introduce you again; this is our company's Deputy General Manager Zhong. You can call him Mr. Zhong or Teacher Zhong, and call me General Manager Zhang. From now on you will be the assistant to the two of us; from now on I will be in charge of operations, and General Manager Zhong will be in charge of teaching. Go back and draft the contract, and sign it today."
Liu Na bit her lip and said nothing.
Zhang Wanqing said again: "Liu Na, I know you feel uncomfortable in your heart, but this is my decision; I hope you can carry it out without fail."
Liu Na was silent for a while, finally nodded, and said: "I understand, General Manager Zhang. I will work hard."
After discussing all afternoon, Zhong Yi and Zhang Wanqing settled on the future development strategy.
The company would continue to engage in online education; previously recorded courses would be screened—those usable would continue to be used, those unusable would be directly abandoned.
Starting tomorrow, Zhong Yi would record a new batch of course videos, starting from elementary mathematics, gradually growing bigger and stronger.
Then there was hiring; the company's original APP was still usable, maintenance was outsourced, so there was no problem in that regard—just pay the money. Zhang Wanqing still had startup funds.
Liu Na had also recorded some things in a notebook.
The three of them had dinner together in the evening, counting as a grand opening.
At the dinner table, everyone's atmosphere gradually eased; after an afternoon, Liu Na had come to recognize Zhong Yi's capabilities a bit.
Zhang Wanqing raised her wine cup and said: "Come, let's drink one cup for the company's future."
Zhong Yi and Liu Na also raised their wine cups; the three looked at each other and smiled, working together for a new beginning.
The next day, Zhong Yi started recording videos full of enthusiasm, but as soon as he started recording, he felt it just wasn't right.
The feeling of lecturing facing a camera was a completely different experience from teaching in a classroom.
Zhong Yi tried several times in a row, but really couldn't adapt. Without student feedback, he couldn't grasp the effect of his lecturing at all. His brow was tightly furrowed, his heart full of anxiety.
Finally Zhong Yi found Zhang Wanqing, with a troubled expression, and spoke of his trouble: "General Manager Zhang, I really can't adapt to lecturing facing a camera; I always feel it's not right. Without student feedback, I don't know if I'm lecturing well or not."
Regarding this, Zhang Wanqing didn't have any good solution either; after all, although she graduated from a normal university, she had never been a teacher for a single day.
She helplessly shook her head and said: "I also don't know what to do; I don't have experience in this area."
Finally Zhong Yi proposed finding a few students to come listen to the class; that way the effect should be better.
But Zhang Wanqing said their company didn't have the qualification to open an offline tutoring class; even if they went to apply now, it would take a very long time.
"Now the state's scrutiny of tutoring classes is getting stricter and stricter; we only have three people, applying for a license is very difficult." Zhang Wanqing said with a face full of worry.
At this moment Liu Na, who was interviewing new employees, walked in; seeing the two bosses with worried faces, she hurriedly asked what was going on.
Zhong Yi explained the matter, but who knew Liu Na would say: "I thought it was some big deal. We don't have a license for an offline tutoring class; just find one with a license to affiliate with, isn't that fine?"
Zhang Wanqing and Zhong Yi, upon hearing this, had their eyes light up at once.
Zhang Wanqing said: "Right, why didn't I think of that? This really is a good idea."
Zhong Yi also nodded in agreement: "This method is feasible."
So the matter of contacting the affiliate unit was handed to Zhang Wanqing; after all, her connections were extraordinarily broad.
Zhang Wanqing said: "Okay, I will contact a suitable affiliate unit as soon as possible. We must make the company successful."
Zhong Yi also said full of confidence: "Mm, let's work hard together."
Liu Na looked at the two bosses regaining their spirits, and also showed a smile.
