"Ling Xiao, after all these years, how come that girl still has you completely wrapped around her finger, hahaha." A chairman of such a big group and all.
Leng Lingxiao didn’t respond and started making phone calls, quickly delegating tasks.
In less than ten minutes, Cheng Shi took the initiative to leave the R&D department where Tang Xiaowan was, but Leng Lingxiao’s phone calls didn’t stop. He kept dialing one after another as if he would never be done.
"Hey, need any help?"
Leng Lingxiao shook his head, "No need."
"But, I haven’t finished talking about my thing, that... me and that someone..."
"Yeah, okay, we can talk about it later."
Shen Yiming clearly started to get anxious, pacing back and forth, glancing at Leng Lingxiao from time to time.
The fruits and snacks on the coffee table had been eaten quite a bit, and if this continued, let alone lunch, it seemed they might even skip dinner.
"Um... Ling Xiao, still not done yet?"
"Not yet, entertain yourself for a while, don’t disturb me." Leng Lingxiao waved his hand and continued with his calls, still appearing very busy.
What the hell, entertain myself?
I’ve already made such a pitiful plea, shouldn’t you be keeping me company?
Hmph, talk about prioritizing romance over friendship. I came all this way back thinking you needed me. Turns out I was just getting ahead of myself?
Shen Yiming complained to himself for a good while.
In fact, he was just mouthing off, as his relationship with Leng Lingxiao was really tight.
A moment later, Zhao Renjie saw Shen Yiming’s clueless expression and quickly nodded at him slightly, as if to signal that the boss was always this busy.
Alright, fine, the handsome guy will keep waiting.
Time ticked by, and just when Shen Yiming was about to blow a fuse, Leng Lingxiao suddenly came over.
"Let’s go, come with me to the company." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"No way, you’re still not done? Please, I’ve come all this way!"
"Are you coming or not?"
"Of course I’m coming, why wouldn’t I!"
Shen Yiming pondered. It was dull to stay in the villa; it might be more interesting to go to the company and witness Leng Lingxiao’s thunderous rage, and to watch him getting bossed around by Tang Xiaowan, which would be incredibly satisfying.
Thinking this, Shen Yiming’s face broke into a wicked smile, and without bothering to grab his phone, he followed him out.
Left behind? Yeah, there must be a trick to it!
It seems Lady Tang’s guess wasn’t wrong, Mr. Shen is still the same old drama king.
Then, Leng Lingxiao and Shen Yiming got into a black business car and headed towards the city center where Lingxiao Group was located.
Inside the car, Leng Lingxiao had a stern expression, while Shen Yiming seemed somewhat excited.
"For what? Women... or work?" Shen Yiming asked knowingly, "Oh, work? Sure, I’m always ready to get started."
Leng Lingxiao’s lips curled slightly: "Good."
"Hey, you’re not going to just put me to work without even discussing my salary, are you?"
"Do you... need money that badly?"
"It’s not that I need it, but... shouldn’t I be given a nominal amount to reflect my status?"
"Fine, I’ll satisfy you."
Before long, the business car pulled up in front of Lingxiao Group’s headquarters. Leng Lingxiao got out, followed closely by Shen Yiming. As soon as they approached the building, Assistant Huang promptly came to greet them.
"Chairman, you’re here," Huang Yi spoke respectfully, then nodded at Shen Yiming.
"Hmm, is the conference room ready?"
"Everything’s prepared, Chairman please."
Huang Yi led Leng Lingxiao and the others to the 30th floor of the Group building, where the conference room was already filled with the Group’s senior management personnel.
After Leng Lingxiao took his seat, he immediately gestured for Shen Yiming to sit next to him.
That was exactly the treatment Shen Yiming wanted.
Then, Leng Lingxiao looked around and began, "Today, I’ve called everyone here to discuss the... future planning of medical equipment."
Shift the focus from overseas to domestic?
Continue to expand investments, to increase market share?
"It’s , yesterday, we received news that Yishen Group is preparing... to enter the medical equipment field. This may... have a certain impact on our Group’s market share."
As he spoke, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly tensed.
Leng Lingxiao surveyed the room and continued, "At the moment, they are in talks with a company from country D, planning to jointly develop several new medical devices."
"Chairman, do you mean we should increase our investments in country D?" a regional manager asked.
Leng Lingxiao nodded, then turned to Shen Yiming, "This gentleman, Mr. Shen Yiming... I believe everyone should have heard of him. As a senior engineer, Mr. Shen has served as a CEO in country D and has extensive experience in the field of medical equipment. Now, let’s hear his suggestions."
No sooner had he finished speaking than applause broke out.
Shen Yiming slowly stood up, nodded slightly to express his greetings, then began sharing his experiences and suggestions, proposing a series of innovative product designs and marketing strategies. For origınal chapters go to N0velFire.ɴet
Everyone present was impressed, but also had their own thoughts, especially Feng Jiaming.
In Lingxiao Group, not only was he the Group manager, but he was also Leng Lingxiao’s right-hand man, and the sudden arrival of Shen Yiming undoubtedly gave him a profound sense of crisis he had never felt before.
He’s truly impressive, having an engineering background!
It seems the rumors that the Chairman and Shen Yiming are friends... are all true.
It looks like I might not be able to keep my position as manager!
While Feng Jiaming was considering how to respond, Leng Lingxiao suddenly turned to him and said, "Manager Feng, let’s hear your thoughts."
His tone was gentle, his gaze firm.
Feng Jiaming snapped back to reality, organized his thoughts, and replied, "Chairman, Mr. Shen’s suggestions are very good. I think... we can also start from the following aspects: First, we can also collaborate with companies from country D to jointly develop new medical devices; second, increase our domestic investment to expand our market share; third, we could form alliances with domestic medical institutions to localize and strengthen dissemination."
Leng Lingxiao nodded in great satisfaction, "Very good." Then he looked at Shen Yiming, "What do you think about Manager Feng’s proposals?"
That resolute look was enough to show Feng Jiaming’s significance in Leng Lingxiao’s eyes.
Therefore, Shen Yiming immediately nodded to Feng Jiaming, "Manager Feng’s localization proposal is very good! I think, if that’s the case, then we can delve deeper into things like prize-based guessing games, online marketing, offline experiences, and so on."
After hearing this, Feng Jiaming agreed with Shen Yiming’s viewpoint and expressed his respect, promising to consider these suggestions carefully.
Their relationship suddenly became much closer.
In the subsequent discussion, other personnel also put forth their thoughts.
The meeting lasted two whole hours.
After it ended, Shen Yiming and Feng Jiaming went to Leng Lingxiao’s office together, where the three of them discussed the prospects of medical equipment while having a working lunch.
It wasn’t until two in the afternoon that Leng Lingxiao slowly closed his notebook, ending the work.
"Alright, let’s call it a day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jiaming immediately added, "Chairman, the planning document will be ready by ten o’clock tomorrow morning at the latest."
Shen Yiming thought to himself: Ah, like leader, like subordinates, so committed!
Leng Lingxiao, as if he had the Mind Reading Technique, immediately gave him a look that seemed to say: You’re quite the actor, aren’t you frightened?
