Chapter 39: What kind of General Manager Zheng is this?

"Not bad, not bad. This car is really nice."

"Once our company makes money, I'll grit my teeth and buy one too."

"No need for that, no need for that. With President Chen's ability, at most two years, at least six months, you'll be able to buy this car easily."

"President Zheng, don't flatter me to death, hahahaha. With your strength, you could probably buy ten, right?"

This remark seemed like flattery, but it was actually a probe.

"Not at all, not at all. President Chen, you're joking. I just got carried away for a moment and gritted my teeth to buy it." Zheng Qian gave a perfect answer.

"President Zheng, are you satisfied with Secretary Xia?"

"She has been my secretary for a long time, she's been with me for two or three years now. If there's anything she does poorly, you can bring it up to her directly, and she will definitely correct it promptly."

Seeing that the remark didn't reveal anything, Chen Weiqiang began to change the subject.

"Not bad, I'm quite satisfied. As expected of President Chen, your judgment of people is so accurate. Secretary Xia is smart and quite capable. Having her by my side saves me a lot of worry."

"That's good."

Xia Xixi glanced at Zheng Qian through the rearview mirror. Not bad, this new boss finally said something nice about her.

"By the way, President Zheng, that North Russian client you... brought in has already reached an agreement with our company to charter our ships. Although the shipping fee isn't much, it's still income for the company." Xia Xixi reminded him.

She originally wanted to say the client he picked up by chatting, but since Chen Weiqiang was nearby, she couldn't expose Zheng Qian, so she directly changed her words to "the client brought in."

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this." Chen Weiqiang said, "President Zheng, you get the primary credit for this order."

As the three of them were talking, they arrived at Dafu Timber.

When the security guard saw the little golden man on the hood, he didn't even make Xia Xixi stop, letting them through directly, and even used the walkie-talkie to tell the security guards inside to help find a parking space.

Chen Weiqiang had already made an appointment with Chang Dashan, but after arriving at the office, Chang Dashan was not there. The secretary said President Chang had gone to a meeting and would be back in about twenty minutes, asking the three of them to wait in the reception room first.

The female secretary responsibly informed Chang Dashan, who was in a meeting, about the arrival of the three. Hearing that Chen Weiqiang had come in person, in order to show respect, Chang Dashan instructed the secretary to call the Vice General Manager to receive them first, and urged him to be polite, respectful, and not to speak carelessly.

And this Vice General Manager was none other than Chang Rui.

When Chang Rui pushed open the door to the reception room, he was completely stunned.

Zheng Qian?

How is this guy like a ghost that won't go away?

Is he everywhere?

Chang Rui knew that the visitors were from the shipyard shipping company, which meant they were here to collect a debt.

Could it be that Zheng Qian is from this shipyard shipping company?

That's not right. Listening to Yao Manman, wasn't Zheng Qian working as a transport intermediary?

The person who came has a high rank; it's Chen Weiqiang, the boss of the shipyard shipping company.

This woman should be Chen Weiqiang's secretary, whom Chang Rui had seen before.

Then what does Zheng Qian do?

Wait.

Chang Rui figured it out.

Zheng Qian must be Chen Weiqiang's driver.

"President Chen, hello, hello. My father is in a meeting, so I will receive you first." Chang Rui ignored Zheng Qian and greeted Chen Weiqiang first, shaking his hand.

"Alright, then we'll talk when your father arrives."

Chang Rui felt he had been looked down upon; he was the company's Vice General Manager.

Although this Vice General Manager didn't handle any real work, outside, people still had to call him President Chang, okay?

Chen Weiqiang really had a big ego, acting as if his rank was too low.

"President Chen, our Chairman would like to invite you over for a moment." The female secretary, having received instructions from Chang Dashan, invited Chen Weiqiang away.

Only three people were left in the reception room.

Chang Rui, Zheng Qian, and Xia Xixi.

The atmosphere instantly became very subtle.

"You really have some nerve, actually daring to come here. Do you know what kind of place this is?"

"Are you using the opportunity of following President Chen here to come and apologize to me?"

"I can tell you straight up, impossible!"

Chang Rui was furious the moment he saw Zheng Qian. Even if Zheng Qian knelt down and apologized to him now, he would not accept it.

On Wangyue Island, Zheng Qian relied on Boss Han to back him up, forcing Chang Rui to lower his arrogant head.

Now he was in Chang Rui's father's company, on his own turf. What kind of waves could Zheng Qian stir up?

"You're overthinking it. I'm here today to collect a debt from you all." Zheng Qian said coldly.

Previously, when he caught Yao Manman and Chang Rui in bed, he did nothing afterward because he was afraid of affecting his normal life.

Chang Rui was a second-generation rich kid with a capitalist father like Chang Dashan; he could go three days without working, and money would automatically be deposited into his card.

But Zheng Qian was different. He had many concerns; he had rent and utilities to pay, and at the same time, he had to consider daily necessities. He didn't have the time cost to go against Chang Rui, so he swallowed his anger.

But now, he didn't put Chang Rui in his eyes at all.

Having money means having the confidence to handle disputes and incidents.

He could spend a month dealing with Chang Rui. The previous Zheng Qian couldn't do this; if he didn't work for a month, he would starve to death the next month.

But now, Zheng Qian had this capital and this confidence.

90% of the reason came from the balance lying in Zheng Qian's bank account.

And his current status.

"What did you say? Say that again if you dare?" Chang Rui said as he was about to make a move on Zheng Qian.

He was already peeing at his own doorstep, so why would Chang Rui care about who the owner of this dog, Zheng Qian, was?

"President Chang, why are you being so aggressive towards our President Zheng right from the start?" Xia Xixi quickly stepped in to block him.

"What? President Zheng? Are you joking with me? What kind of President Zheng is he?" Chang Rui frowned tightly.

...

Chen Weiqiang was invited to sit in on the Dafu Timber company meeting.

He sat in an empty seat in the conference room, listening to this executive meeting.

The meeting had actually reached its end. The PPT on the whiteboard displayed the annual income report of Dafu Timber, as well as the income forecasts and trends formulated for the next quarter.

Chen Weiqiang could tell at a glance what Chang Dashan meant by inviting him to sit in on the meeting.

From the PPT, it was clearly visible that Dafu's income in the first two quarters of the year was not ideal. There were also many situations of bad debts and uncollectible debts occurring, funds could not be recovered, and it was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

Unless another injection of tens of millions in funds was made, the company could not be guaranteed to continue normal operations, and it would still be in a state of loss for the next year or two.

After the meeting, Chang Dashan asked the secretary to clear the room, and then personally walked over to shake hands and greet Chen Weiqiang.

"Sorry about that, President Chen, I was just in a meeting. What brings you here today?" Chang Dashan asked, knowing full well the reason.

Chen Weiqiang did not hide it and mentioned the matter of the two shipping fees.

"It's like this, President Chen. You've seen the situation of our company. Business hasn't been easy this year, and we owe a large loan. I'm also powerless to help."

"How about this, just do me a personal favor. After the company recovers, I will definitely introduce clients to you. You can rest assured about my connections here."

Chang Dashan held Chen Weiqiang's hand, patted it, and said with a helpless look.
