Chapter 63: Professor Li's Recommended Talent

Early morning.

Lu Chen stood before the window, watching the morning sun rise, vaguely able to see the seemingly ceaseless bustle of Victoria Harbour.

Lu Chen straightened his suit, then went downstairs.

"Morning, BOSS."

Hu Yaqin and Shen Wanyu were sitting on the sofa chatting in low voices, occasionally letting out bursts of silver-bell-like laughter.

The little girl ran toward Lu Chen.

"Good morning, Uncle Lu."

"Morning." Reading novels every day to relieve boredom is great, ttk. tw is super smooth.

Lu Chen picked up Chen Tingting and responded indifferently.

Only then did he look at the little one in his arms.

"How are you doing at school? Are you feeling uncomfortable at all?"

He waved his hand at Shen Wanyu and Hu Yaqin, signaling them not to get up.

"School is great, and my classmates are very welcoming to me."

A small, milky voice rang out, making Lu Chen pause, the smile on his face deepening slightly.

"Tingting is wonderful, go eat now."

Lu Chen put the little girl down, nodded to Butler Wang, and then sat in the main seat.

He pulled a cigar from the cigar box and slowly began to preheat it.

"I contacted my senior fellow apprentice last night; he will arrive at the Zhuangyuan at 9 o'clock."

Shen Wanyu cleared her throat before beginning her report.

Lu Chen looked up at Shen Wanyu and nodded slightly.

He took a puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, sipped his coffee, and only then picked up the new day's newspaper from the table.

Boring; it wasn't even as exciting as yesterday's paper!

It truly left Lu Chen a bit speechless.

It was all repetitive content, and even the new day's financial reports were not as detailed as the reports in yesterday's paper.

Really, it left Lu Chen not even knowing how to complain about it.

However, fortunately, time passed quite quickly, and Tingting went off to school.

After a while, Butler Wang walked to Lu Chen's side.

He bowed and spoke softly into his ear.

"Mr. Zhao, who had an appointment with you, has arrived. Would you like to see him now?"

"Please, bring him in."

Lu Chen paused and put down the personnel documents in his hand.

He stubbed out the cigar in his hand, stood up, straightened his suit, and put a smile on his face.

He walked to the center of the room.

"Welcome!"

The moment Manager Zhao walked in, he stepped forward and reached out to shake Manager Zhao's hand.

"I have long heard of your great name from Uncle Li; seeing you today, you are truly a man of talent!"

"I am merely an incompetent student under the teacher; you are the true pride of heaven!"

Manager Zhao smiled as he shook hands with Lu Chen.

"Come, sit and let's talk."

Lu Chen reached out and pointed to the sofa next to the main seat.

He then sat back down in the main seat.

He pulled a cigar from the cigar box on the table and handed it to Manager Zhao.

He then began to preheat his own.

"Why did you resign from Xifei Foreign Firm?"

Lu Chen looked up at Manager Zhao, waiting until he had taken his first puff of the cigar.

Lu Chen then took a puff of his cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, and looked at Manager Zhao through the haze.

"I was set up, so I resigned immediately. Although it will leave a stain on my professional record, at the very least, I can save my life."

Manager Zhao did not answer immediately, but instead took another puff of the cigar and exhaled the smoke.

The momentary shock on his face returned to calmness, and he looked at Lu Chen with a hint of frankness in his eyes.

"When I first discovered the signs, I contacted the teacher. The teacher recommended that I come to you; it can be considered a form of refuge."

After finishing, Manager Zhao let out a long breath, took another puff of the cigar, and waited several seconds before looking at Lu Chen again.

"Can you tell me about it?"

Lu Chen had a relaxed smile on his face, nodded slightly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest.

He leaned back and crossed his legs.

However, a hint of gravity flashed through his eyes.

"It's like this: the current situation at Xifei Foreign Firm is quite complex, and the forces from Europe..."

Manager Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Lu Chen with some surprise.

He then began to speak slowly.

He held nothing back, detailing the current predicament of Xifei Foreign Firm, the reasons he suspected, and a whole series of other matters.

This made Lu Chen's brow furrow deeper and deeper, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He gave Manager Zhao a deep look.

No wonder Xifei would entrust Crown to sell off that plot of land at the Textile Factory.

Even if Crown were to compensate Lu Chen with that land later on.

Xifei would not have any reaction.

At first, he had thought it was Crown that had paid the price behind the scenes.

Now it seems, he had still thought about it too simply!

However, this is indeed an opportunity, it is just that his own scale is too small right now!

There is certainly no chance to get a share of the pie, but he can use this point to do something.

Lu Chen gave Manager Zhao a deep look, then spoke.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao Chenhui, you have been hired, and you are now appointed as the General Manager of our company."

Lu Chen stubbed out his Cigar, stood up, straightened his suit, and then reached out to shake hands with Zhao Chenhui.

"Manager Zhao, Chen Mo will arrange for someone to be fully responsible for your safety; for the time being, will you find a room to stay in the Zhuangyuan, or do you have your own arrangements?"

"I had previously planned to stay at my teacher's Zhuangyuan for a few days, but as Chairman Lu must be aware, accompanying an old man is not easy; please arrange a room for me."

Zhao Chenhui smiled and gripped Lu Chen's hand tightly.

"I need to familiarize myself with the company as much as possible; can you arrange for someone to handle the handover with me?"

"Xuan Hua has gone abroad on business, so for now, his assistant, Hu Yaqin, will help you familiarize yourself with the company's affairs."

After Lu Chen and Zhao Chenhui sat back down on the sofa, he took a puff of his Cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"Chen Mo's security arrangements will be in place before you arrive at the company; by the way, you know how to use a gun, right? Let him arrange one for you."

"Understood, I will clear up the company's operations as soon as possible."

Zhao Chenhui nodded.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Housekeeper Wang knocked on the wooden door of the reception hall.

This caused Lu Chen, who had just been about to chat for a few more moments, to stop immediately.

He turned his head to look at Housekeeper Wang, who was standing at the entrance of the reception hall.

"Sir, there is less than an hour left before your visit to Elder Liu."

Housekeeper Wang glanced at Zhao Chenhui, then withdrew his gaze.

He bowed slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and looked at Zhao Chenhui with a helpless expression.

"Housekeeper Wang, notify Assistant Hu and Supervisor Chen to arrange a room for General Manager Zhao."

Lu Chen stood up and gestured with his hand, signaling that Zhao Chenhui did not need to stand.

"Sorry, Chenhui, Housekeeper Wang and the others will take you to get familiar with things; I am going upstairs to change my clothes."

Lu Chen nodded slightly at Housekeeper Wang and went straight back to his bedroom.

After a simple wash and changing into a new suit.

He returned to the reception hall.

Housekeeper Wang had already led Zhao Chenhui to select a room.

Hu Yaqin was saying something to Zhao Chenhui.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and did not disturb them.

Instead, he said to Housekeeper Wang: "Let's go."
