Office secrets

In Chen Dong's impression, Li Xiaoyu wouldn't genuinely engage in charity.

“You’re really busy, aren’t you? Not even checking the company website announcements?”

Gu Feifei stood up, pulled Chen Dong to her workstation, pressed him into the office chair, then leaned over to open her computer and found the Dongsheng Group official website.

There were three most popular pieces of information on the website: the first was that Hua Chen Entertainment had been acquired by East Victory and officially renamed Dongsheng Entertainment;

The second was that Dongsheng Group planned to invest 8.2 billion in charity, with the fund to be managed by Dongsheng Charity, welcoming supervision from all sectors of society.

For those in special need of assistance, they could contact relevant local Nation units, and after verification, contact Dongsheng Charity;

The third was the transformation of Youyou Live!

Indeed, Dongsheng Group’s official website was very well-made, truly having the feel of a large company.

“No wonder, I knew this Li Xiaoyu wasn’t a good person.”

“Dongzi, but she was my best friend once.” Gu Feifei looked troubled, her head bowed low.

“And, for me to reconcile with you this time, she actually played a crucial role in it.”

Hearing Gu Feifei’s increasingly low voice, Chen Dong knew she also had her difficulties, but at the same time, he felt very guilty.

Chen Dong wouldn’t blame her for being a saint; to some extent, Li Xiaoyu was her benefactor.

He gently took Gu Feifei’s soft hand and squeezed it.

“I understand, but she cannot come to Dongsheng Charity.

I want to build the charity company into a flagship company of the Group, to change the impression people have of us wealthy individuals as black-hearted capitalists.

If she were to be hired, it’s highly likely she would completely turn this ‘face’ company into a company full of scandals.”

Seeing Gu Feifei’s awkward expression, he quickly put his arm around her slender waist, gently pulling her to sit in his lap.

“You tell Li Xiaoyu that I agree to her working at Dongsheng Group, and have her come see me in three days.”

“Dongzi, you’ve been troubled.” Gu Feifei hugged Chen Dong tightly and gave him a fragrant kiss...

...

“Knock, knock, knock.” After three knocks, the door was pushed open by Gu Feifei’s secretary.

“General Manager Chen, where is General Manager Gu?” The young secretary looked curiously at Chen Dong, who was sitting in Gu Feifei’s chair, holding a stack of documents.

“General Manager Gu had something to attend to and left. Put the documents on that coffee table and then you can leave.”

Chen Dong pointed to the coffee table in front of the sofa and continued,

“Also, from now on, wait until you hear ‘come in’ before opening the door.”

“Understood, General Manager Chen.” The little secretary, blushing, quickly placed the documents on the coffee table and scurried out.

After a while, Gu Feifei finally climbed out from under the office desk, her face flushed...

Chen Dong left Gu Feifei’s office feeling satisfied and returned to his own office.

Gu Feifei rubbed her slightly sore legs, stretched her jaw, and continued to immerse herself in work.

After a brief chat with Xu Wanying, Chen Dong thought for a moment, then called Hu Wei to discuss Li Xiaoyu’s matter, but Hu Wei was quite straightforward:

“Dongzi, why don’t you just take Li Xiaoyu? Don’t let her go harm others. Anyway, you won’t marry her, and don’t mind that I’ve used her...”

Chen Dong smiled helplessly, feeling a bit strange at the thought of becoming ‘brothers in arms’ with his good friend, so he quickly hung up the phone, got into his car, and drove to the industrial park.

Yu Jian now spent most of his day here. Seeing Chen Dong arrive, he excitedly gave Chen Dong a tour.

“Boss, the production line has been assembled, and suppliers for components have all been contacted. The only supply issue we have right now is with CPUs. Intel is expensive and slow with deliveries.”

At this point, Yu Jian also looked quite helpless.

“We can find someone to lobby them to send us more goods.” Chen Dong patted Yu Jian’s shoulder.

“But there’s no need to rush. First, assemble the computers and get them debugged.”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong suddenly asked,

“By the way, what is the process node of the CPU chips used in computers now?”

“The most advanced process is 22 nanometers, but 24 or 28 nanometers are completely sufficient for us, as computers are not like phones; they are large.”

Chen Dong nodded. Even for phones, 20-plus nanometers should be mainstream now.

Chen Dong recalled that in three or four years, 14-nanometer chips would become mainstream for phones, while 7-nanometer, 5-nanometer, and even more advanced 3-nanometer chips would only gradually appear after seven or eight years.

“How many nanometer chips can domestic Loongson Technology produce now?”

“They can do 40 nanometers and above, but not within 30 nanometers; they don’t have the equipment.”

Yu Jian pondered for a moment, then added,

“But those chip manufacturing companies are all in Modu. Jinghai doesn’t seem to have any well-known semiconductor companies right now.”

Chen Dong nodded, turning his gaze eastward. The project Kong Bin was involved in should be the second-generation EUV lithography machine, right?

Only such an important project would make Sakura Country and those people in the United States lose face, wanting to use Dragon Country’s talent but not daring to let people return home.

Perhaps they learned from the loss of Qian Lao’s group of scientists before, and while Kong Bin was still unknown, they quickly tried to suppress him.

But Chen Dong had already started to make arrangements, and he was determined to protect Kong Bin by any means necessary.

When he returned to the country and joined his team, that would be the beginning of Chen Dong breaking the foreign monopoly on the chip industry!

After leaving the computer factory, Director Director Xu and Yuan Kaize, who was Qi Luo Chang’s, or rather Dongsheng Clothing’s, president, were already waiting.

“Director Xu, quickly give Yuan Kaize the clothing styles and designs needed for the film crew, and have him work overtime to make them for you. The crew needs to start filming within a week.”

“No problem, boss. The actors have almost been found, and we are contacting film bases and some filming locations.”

Yuan Kaize led the two to the garment factory. The equipment had been updated, and there were a total of 1,500 employees distributed across various positions in the factory.

Dongsheng Textile Factory currently only had one workshop that could operate, and there was no extra fabric for sale; it was all brought here.

Chen Dong took out a stack of blueprints and handed them to Yuan Kaize,

“General Manager Yuan, this is Dongsheng Clothing’s most important task for the next month: producing Hanfu.

Here are four summer styles, four autumn styles, and one each for spring and winter. For the spring and winter styles, just produce a few samples, and increase production of the summer and autumn styles.

After the samples for all four seasons are produced, quickly contact Zhang Qi from the publicity department, have him design a good advertisement, and together with Du Meiqing from Dongsheng Entertainment, find someone to shoot a set of exquisite advertisements to be placed on various television and online platforms.

Use these next few days to find and purchase two large storefronts in the bustling shopping malls of Jinghai; these will serve as our display windows for Qi Luo Chang garments in the future.

After the clothes are made, don’t forget to send some to Luo Qiyuan’s shop at Shuxiang Mingdi; she can embroider more exquisite patterns on them for specialized props for the film crew...”

Chen Dong arranged each task, and Yuan Kaize took notes in his small notebook, which Chen Dong quite liked.

Returning to the company at noon, Chen Dong, accompanied by Xu Wanying, went to the cafeteria on the 46th floor.

The entire floor was a cafeteria, with clear divisions: noodle section, stir-fry section, Western food section, pastry section...

There were many serving windows, and employees lined up orderly to get their food. Seeing Chen Dong and Xu Wanying approach, many people moved aside, indicating for the two big bosses to go first.

Chen Dong smiled and waved his hand, joining the back of a line.

He got two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, only seven yuan and fifty cents, which was indeed very cheap. To ensure employee welfare, Chen Dong still adopted a meal subsidy system for employees—

As long as they clocked in for work, they received a 30 yuan meal subsidy daily. As for where they ate and how much they ate, that was their personal freedom.
