367: Chapter 367 Hao Shuai? No, Meng Yanchen
On Monday, after Chen Cheng finished reviewing the reports in his office, he went to Company Name alone.
With the end of the year approaching, all the subsidiaries were busy boosting their performance, waiting for the year-end bonuses to be issued next month.
The big boss, Chen, prepared to make an incognito visit to Company Name to see how things were going.
He also planned to check on Lucy; originally, Chen Cheng had told her to choose a room over at Huaihai Road.
I don't know if it was Zhu Zhe or Ye Zhenzhen who gave her some pointers, but she no longer fought for the master bedroom, nor did she care who her roommates were.
She appeared calm and indifferent, as if she had no worldly desires.
Even the frequency of her contact with Chen Cheng had decreased.
It made Chen Cheng wonder for a moment if something had gone wrong.
Fortunately, the favorability rating and the feeling of their dates remained unchanged.
"Mr. Chen?"
A surprised voice sounded in Chen Cheng's ear.
Chen Cheng looked up and saw a man wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses.
A smile curled on his lips; he had just entered the elevator and already encountered one of the 'Four Little Guys' of Company Name.
Chen Cheng smiled and waved.
'Hao Shuai' followed suit and entered the elevator, standing to Chen Cheng's front right, by the elevator control panel.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "You know me?"
'Hao Shuai' nodded faintly with a smile. "I've had the honor of reading reports about you."
Chen Cheng realized, then asked with an inquisitive expression, "From Company Name?"
'Hao Shuai' reacted quickly, nodded, and extended his hand to introduce himself.
"Hello, Chairman Chen. I am Meng Yanchen from the Consumer Goods Department of Company Name Capital."
"Mm, hello." Chen Cheng extended his hand and nodded faintly.
He immediately realized something was wrong, his hand freezing in place. He looked at the man's face and frowned. "Wait, what did you say your name was?"
Meng Yanchen's voice was cold and clear, and he repeated it faintly, "Meng Yanchen from the Consumer Goods Department."
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then a playful smile appeared on his lips.
He hadn't expected that Hao Shuai's position would be taken by his doppelganger.
Chen Cheng shook Meng Yanchen's hand and sized him up.
His temperament wasn't that melancholic yet; he seemed normal.
That meant this was likely the timeline before the butterfly in his heart had returned.
In other words, the one in front of him was the young Meng, who hadn't yet grown into a melancholic CEO.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "How did the young master of the Meng Family end up at Company Name?"
Meng Yanchen didn't intend to hide anything. "My aunt recommended that I come to learn from General Manager Zhao and General Manager."
"Coincidentally, I've been studying for an MBA in Wujiaochang recently, so I submitted my resume."
"Aunt?" A person flashed through Chen Cheng's mind, but he still asked skeptically, "Teacher Ouyang?"
Meng Yanchen nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Chen Cheng clicked his tongue. Teacher Ouyang, Fu Wenyin...
Makes sense! Totally reasonable!
Chen Cheng smiled faintly. "Since you're here, keep up the good work."
Meng Yanchen nodded and replied faintly, "Okay."
He curled his lip; that was truly his personality, cold and indifferent towards others.
Arriving at the 30th floor, the elevator doors opened automatically. Meng Yanchen held his hand across the elevator door, and Chen Cheng stepped out of the elevator.
Meng Yanchen also walked quickly to the access control point to scan his face and open the door.
Chen Cheng nodded faintly. "Thanks."
Just as Chen Cheng walked into the office, the two girls at the front desk saw him and quickly ran out.
One was named Zhu Qiao, the other Zhang Siqi. When he came last time, the two girls had introduced themselves, and Chen Cheng remembered.
"Chairman Chen!"
A smile appeared on Chen Cheng's lips. "Go back to your work."
Zhu Qiao blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, "General Manager Zhao and General Manager are in the conference room holding an investment committee meeting."
"Should we notify them?"
Chen Cheng waved his hand. "No need, I'm just looking around."
"Go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me."
The two pretty girls looked relieved and nodded. "Okay."
The big boss came to the company for a surprise inspection without notifying the management.
If they, the two little receptionists, saw him and didn't notify anyone, they would definitely get scolded.
But since Chen Cheng had spoken, it was different. When the time came, a simple "Chairman Chen specifically instructed not to notify anyone" would fend off any criticism.
"Investment committee meeting?" Chen Cheng muttered, then turned to Meng Yanchen and smiled.
"Shall we go take a look at the conference room?"
"Okay." Meng Yanchen's expression was calm; he wasn't surprised that Chen Cheng asked him to accompany him.
Chen Cheng smiled and walked straight toward the office area.
On the way, there were quite a few people, and one by one they stood up to greet Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked at Yu Tu, who was sitting behind Jiang Nan, and smiled.
Jiang Nan was a VP in the Technology Group under General Manager, and now Yu Tu was working as an investment manager under him.
Chen Cheng raised his hand and waved at everyone who had stood up. "Get back to your work, don't worry about me."
Seeing Chen Cheng walk straight towards the conference room, everyone felt relieved.
Passing by Lan Qianyi, Chen Cheng took a good look at her with her bangs and ponytail.
She really looked like her, only Lan Qianyi looked a bit chubbier than Guan Juer, with a slightly fleshy face.
Probably because of the stress, she had gained some weight.
"Chairman Chen!"
Meeting Chen Cheng's gaze, Lan Qianyi took the initiative to greet him.
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile.
He didn't say much more and stopped in front of the conference room.
He glanced at the printing room next to the conference room and pushed the door open to walk in.
The two people in the room, who were watching the situation in the conference room through the glass, heard the movement and turned around abruptly.
Gao Sicong's eyes widened immediately, and he timidly greeted, "Chairman Chen!"
While Sun Yiqiu looked at this uninvited guest with a blank expression.
Meng Yanchen walked out from behind Chen Cheng and introduced the two to him.
"Chairman Chen, this is Gao Sicong, an intern from the Technology Group."
"And this is Sun Yiqiu, an intern from the Fourth Comprehensive Group of the New Business Department."
Gao Sicong reacted quickly, hurriedly bowed slightly, extended his hand towards Chen Cheng, and introduced himself. "Hello, Chairman Chen, I am Gao Sicong from the Technology Group."
"Hello." Chen Cheng shook his hand lightly and nodded with a smile.
Seeing this guy, he would think of Xiao Haiyang, and the line, "In September, a wind of heartbreak blew in."
And the line, "I like you, but this is different from an exam; effort is not enough."
Sun Yiqiu didn't know who the person in front of him was and looked a bit dazed, but seeing Chen Cheng finish shaking hands with Gao Sicong, he realized what was happening and bowed somewhat restrainedly.
"Hello, Chairman Chen. Sun Yiqiu from the Fourth Comprehensive Group."
Chen Cheng shook his hand politely as well.
After the introductions, the two very consciously gave the middle spot to Chen Cheng and took a step back to stand on either side of him.
Chen Cheng glanced at the conference room next door.
The conference room was a glass partition on one side of the building's core, so from the printing room next door, one could see the situation inside through the grille.
Looking at Lin Yuming, who was presenting a PPT in front of the projection screen, Chen Cheng asked:
"What project is this?"
Sun Yiqiu didn't answer; his mind was currently puzzled about who this young man was.
Meng Yanchen saw him standing there blankly and tugged on his sleeve. Only then did Sun Yiqiu react. "Oh!"
"It's a shared electric scooter project called Somersault Cloud."
"Financing 30 million, to be used for expanding into the sinking market."
"Shared electric scooters," Chen Cheng muttered.
At this time, Haha, Little Yellow, and Little Tangerine seem to have already divided the market into three parts, right?
Without turning his head, he asked, "What is the current competitive landscape of the market?"
