[7YrSecretLove] Chapter 47.2 — His First Love

While Shu Rui had been thinking about things, Cui Peng had quietly settled the bill.

“I invited you to a meal. How can I let you to treat me?” he argued.

“It’s the same whoever pays. I won’t compete with you next time,” Cui Peng replied.

Cui Peng didn’t go back to Lingjia. She said she planned to stay in Beijing for a few days just to get to know Ruipu and see if there was anything she could do to help. Then she would return to the company and report to her boss.

Shu Rui left Cui Peng reading information in his office, and he came out to find Luo Qi.

… …

The coffee was too hot to drink, and his conversation with Luo Qi too brief. Shu Rui left Luo Qi’s office and returned to his own bringing the coffee with him.

Luo Qi didn’t make much coffee just now, so she continued to make more for herself.

A long morning finally came to an end.

… …

Luo Qi became the most idle person in the company. Even the girl at the front desk seemed busier than her. Not only was she the first to get off work, she was also the first to break for lunch at noon.

Ruipu was not better than Yuanwei Group. Yuanwei canteen occupied two floors, and there was a special executive dining hall on the upper floor. Ruipu canteen, on the other hand, was not big. Everyone ate in the same dining area. Employees had to eat at staggered times because there were only so many tables and chairs available, and not everyone could use them at the same time.

The new boss didn’t put on airs. When she saw anyone in the company, whether she knew them or not, whether it was a department manager or an intern, she would nod and say ‘hello’. She also took the lead in eating on time and getting off work on time, which naturally won her their favor.

“I thought the new boss was going to kill us with extreme firepower when she took office.”

“I wouldn’t mind even if she did. Right now, even if we have to work overtime, at least we’d get overtime pay. To be honest, before she came, I was ready to pack up and leave this company.”

Another whispered, “Me, too. I’ve been looking at recruiting ads lately.”

Before Luo Qi came, there were rumors in the company that the management was going to undergo a major change, and the team would be liquidated and disbanded. After all, Yuanwei Group was no different from a stepmother and could not be expected to accommodate old employees like them.

But the reality was beyond anyone’s expectations. Luo Qi came alone, without even a secretary or financial staff with her.

Luo Qi’s resume was similar to their own Mr. Shu. They heard that she was very dedicated to her work, and had a boyfriend that she had been dating for ten years since school, but they broke up last year.

Anyway, they were curious about her and felt that her actions were new and refreshing.

“Chixin, come here.” They hooked their fingers at Chi Xin and asked her to sit at their table.

Chixin is Chi Xin’s nickname in the company, and they were used to calling her that¹.

“What is Ms. Luo busy with today?”

“… Looking at some information about the company.”

Chi Xin was a secretary. Regardless of whether Luo Qi was new or not, not revealing or gossiping about the boss’ activities was the most basic requirement of her position.

In fact, Luo Qi didn’t do much in the morning and even made Chi Xin a cup of coffee. She had been very confused.

How could a boss make coffee for her secretary?

It seemed that Luo Qi really had a lot of free time.

Luo Qi knew that she had become the talk of the company in the past two days, and she didn’t care.

The first one to go to the cafeteria to eat was naturally the first one to come back from the cafeteria after eating.

She looked at the time and saw that it was 12:20. He Wancheng had probably finished his meal and had not yet taken a nap, so she sent him a message: [Director He, I would like to call you whenever is convenient for you. I want to make an appointment with you.]

She bypassed He Wancheng’s secretary and asked him directly.

If she made an appointment through the secretary, she didn’t know what year she’d be accommodated.

He Wancheng hadn’t eaten lunch yet and was, in fact, busy preparing for the divorce between Madam Pei and her husband. The Board of Directors of Pei family’s company was about to change hands, and some things had to be done first.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qi asked to meet with him. Now that she was with Jiang Shenghe, he didn’t resist and just called her back.

“Xiao Luo, what’s the matter? You’re welcome, just tell me.”

Luo Qi thanked him first and briefly talked about her current situation, “I have been transferred from the president’s office and now manage Ruipu Medical.”

“Congratulations on the promotion.”

He Wancheng understood why Luo Qi was transferred. The President and his Assistant were together—it would not be good if the news were spread.

He knew Jiang Shenghe fairly well, but he had never seen Jiang Shenghe so decisive in showing his kindness to a woman. He heard that he even brought his mother to Suzhou City to help renovate the house he had bought before; it seemed that he was planning to get married.

Luo Qi went straight to the point, “Ruipu has been suppressed by Yuanwei Medical. When it was acquired, it signed some harsh terms. Now it is finding it difficult to move forward. If this continues, the losses will be visible by the end of this year and the beginning of next year.”

If she wanted to open the market as soon as possible, then she must borrow the resources in He Wancheng’s hands. She wanted to meet to discuss how they could cooperate.

Back then, He Wancheng had helped Yuanwei Medical to open up the high-end market in the south. Luo Qi has decided to abandon the high-end market and focus on the mid-to-low-end market, avoiding the established territory of Yuanwei Medical. Only in this way could Ruipu have the possibility of survival.

“What ever time is convenient for you, Mr. He, I will go to Suzhou City to visit you. We can meet in person and chat then.”

“You don’t have to come to Suzhou City. I’m going to Beijing to deal with something in a few days. Let’s go out for a casual meal together.” He Wancheng hasn’t seen his unfilial nephew for a long time, so he planned to come over to see him.

He didn’t know what He Xu was busy with all day long that he didn’t even have time to go back during the National Day holidays.

“Then I’ll wait for Director He’s call. You’re busy, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

He Wancheng did not refuse to meet with her. There was hope for cooperation.

She must first pave the way for Ruipu and hold the market resources in her hands. Then she would have the initiative and the right to speak when facing Shu Rui and his team.
