Chapter 297: Returning to Yezhou

Early the next morning, Zheng Qian packed up briefly and returned to Qianhe Group.

After entering the company, Zheng Qian noticed that almost every employee had an indescribable expression on their face.

Upon seeing him, they all greeted him excitedly with strange looks: "Hello, President Zheng!"

"Hey, hey, hey, President Zheng is back." Chang Mengmeng quietly nudged Zhong Xiaoyao with her elbow.

Hearing this.

Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli simultaneously raised their eyelids, staring intently at Zheng Qian as he walked past their workstations.

Zheng Qian didn't stop, didn't even greet them, and walked straight into the chairman's office.

Zhong Xiaoyao frowned.

Qin Xueli furrowed her brows slightly.

The two of them simultaneously looked at Song Yaxian, who had flown back from Jiangnan early.

They saw her sitting at her workstation, focused on organizing the documents at hand.

Just now, when she saw Zheng Qian, she had even snuck a smile.

This action infuriated both of them.

Zheng Qian had flown to Jiangnan in a hurry, not even bringing Xia Xixi, yet he brought the newcomer Song Yaxian to act as his temporary secretary.

You have to know, Song Yaxian switched careers from the internet industry and has been in the company for less than a week; what could she possibly understand?

Meanwhile, Qin Xueli and Zhong Xiaoyao had already been working under Zheng Qian for a long time.

Especially Zhong Xiaoyao, who had been a veteran employee since the Zhengxin Shipyard days.

Zheng Qian actually brought Song Yaxian.

Is this acting as a temporary secretary?

It's more like a temporary fling!

The position they had begged for and failed to obtain was snatched up by Song Yaxian just like that, and they were very unwilling to accept it.

From the expression on Song Yaxian's face, one could basically judge...

This young girl has already entered a state of being in love.

Otherwise, why would she be smiling foolishly when seeing Zheng Qian?

The more Zhong Xiaoyao thought about it, the angrier she got.

Why?

Chairman's office.

"President Zheng."

Xia Xixi came to report the situation.

"You've finally returned."

"Is there something?"

"Yes, Chen Weiqiang, Liu Shiqi, and the others are already waiting for you in the conference room for the meeting."

There was a hint of haughtiness on Xia Xixi's face.

She hadn't seen any shortage of news about Zheng Qian while she was in Yezhou these past few days.

At the four auctions in Jiangnan, Zheng Qian stole the spotlight, recklessly spending nearly 20 billion!

This was just the amount publicly reported by the media.

How much more was there that hadn't been reported?

Xia Xixi had no way of knowing.

Besides that, Zheng Qian still hadn't changed his habits.

Even after being so flashy in Jiangnan, he was still messing around with women.

He even flirted with Jiang Yanran.

Last night, short video platforms were flooded with little clips of him and the number one icy female CEO of Jiangnan, Jiang Yanran, with all sorts of rumors flying everywhere.

Some even filmed them having a secret rendezvous late at night at the Jiangnan Hotel. No one knew where they went afterwards, but it was likely the presidential suite upstairs!

Too ruthless!

Oh, Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian.

I never expected you to be such a playboy.

Flirting wherever you go.

Zheng Qian stood up and headed to the conference room.

"Chen Weiqiang, Liu Shiqi, Manager Li Tao, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zheng Qian smiled and pushed open the conference room door.

Inside the room, Chen Weiqiang, Liu Shiqi, and Manager Li Tao were sitting neatly in their chairs.

"Not at all. You, President Zheng, have been working vigorously for the company's benefit in Jiangnan. We wanted to provide some substantial assistance, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing we could do, so we could only stay here and cheer you on."

Seeing Zheng Qian enter, the three of them hurriedly stood up to welcome him.

Liu Shiqi even smiled and struck up a conversation with Zheng Qian.

She really wasn't being sarcastic.

The three of them had been on pins and needles in the company these past few days.

They had received fax documents sent back from Jiangnan one after another.

The platinum princess, the jiuzhou dream, the royal symphony, and even the white knight!

Although Zheng Qian had bid on these assets by way of donation, he quickly sent over the authorization letter for Qianhe Group to manage and operate them.

In reality, it was still adding to the company's foundation.

It was just a tax avoidance method.

In business, such methods were common, so everyone didn't think too much of it.

What shocked the three of them the most was Zheng Qian's spending.

Although these ships were assets that could be used to make money, the prices he bid... were truly mind-boggling.

Almost all of them had a 30% premium.

The white knight was even more exaggerated, with a 400% premium.

A modern merchant ship that was originally only worth 2.5 billion was driven up by Zheng Qian to 4 times the price, and he bought it for 10 billion!

Liu Shiqi felt that she had underestimated the energy Zheng Qian brought back then.

Being able to casually pull out one or two billion, looking across Jiuzhou, there was basically no one who could match Zheng Qian's boldness!

Zheng Qian... he was the only one!

Why did she view Zheng Qian so one-sidedly back then?

And was so disdainful?

Too rash.

If she had another chance, at that card game, she would definitely have been more respectful than the others.

She wouldn't even have shown her decadent private life.

Although she had been trying to make amends after discovering the clues.

But it seemed that Zheng Qian had no other thoughts about her at all.

Most of Liu Shiqi's tactics couldn't be used on Zheng Qian.

Under Zheng Qian's leadership, Qianhe Group should expand steadily.

She had joined the partnership back then and received a portion of Qianhe Group's shares, which was a very wise choice.

Zheng Qian had personally funded the purchase of so many assets, and the shares in her hand had already been diluted.

She had to hold firmly onto the remaining shares.

Unless absolutely necessary, she would never sell them!

If managed well, it would be enough for her to live worry-free for the rest of her life.

Chen Weiqiang was also very surprised.

Sure enough, his initial guess was correct.

Zheng Qian investing in Zhengxin Shipyard was just buying an admission ticket from him.

Once Zheng Qian became familiar with business rules, that would be when he would truly showcase his skills.

A golden scale is no creature of the pond; once it encounters the wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon.

He thought about it carefully and realized he hadn't really made any substantial contributions to Zheng Qian.

He had handed over some of the matters of Zhengxin Shipyard to Zheng Qian.

And then introduced the local snake Boss Han of Yezhou to Zheng Qian.

That was all.

Zheng Qian's growth speed was truly beyond his imagination.

It was said that Zheng Qian had also dealt with Chairman Zhu Hongfu and Lin Chengye.

There was gossip that Chairman Zhu Hongfu had gifted Zheng Qian a top-tier villa.

And Lin Chengye had gifted Zheng Qian a supercar.

The two of them were so willing to spend money just to gain favor with Zheng Qian!

Chen Weiqiang couldn't help but shake his head.

Unknowingly, Zheng Qian's achievements in business had already surpassed his, even to the point where the richest man in Jiangnan had to curry favor with him.

His own background was actually already quite good.

He had taken some money from his family to start a business, also wanting to prove his own life value.

But he hadn't expected that Zheng Qian was in the same situation.

He had also taken money from his family to start a business.

Obviously, Zheng Qian's life value was much higher than his.

Chen Weiqiang really didn't dare to dwell on Zheng Qian's background.

What kind of family could give him so much capital?

Was Zheng Qian really here to build a career, or just to play around?
