Wen Ruan's Grand Entrance, Luo Bin
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the Marketing Planning Department's office area, filling the air with a solemn and tense atmosphere.
They seemed to have noticed the gazes directed at them.
Wen Ruan tilted her head slightly and glanced over in their direction.
Their eyes met, and one by one, the old colleagues subconsciously looked away.
The group of people who had just been secretly gossiping about each other quickly lowered their heads, their faces showing fear and unease.
"Bang!" Li Meiling's mouth dropped open as the coffee cup she was holding slammed onto the table, then rolled to the floor, scattering coffee everywhere.
Her brow twitched violently, and she hurriedly began to tidy up.
After smiling and nodding gently to a few old colleagues, Wen Ruan looked ahead again and disappeared around the corner of the corridor with the crowd.
After a few seconds of silence in the office area, a buzzing sound of discussion suddenly broke out.
"What's going on? Isn't that Wen Ruan?"
"Definitely! He seems like a completely different person, even more imposing than our leader."
"Wasn't she here today to complete her resignation handover? Why is she here with the management?"
"Judging from their positioning just now, I had the feeling that Wen Ruan was representing us in this acquisition attempt?"
"Could it be that female executive she knows?"
Listening to their tense and anxious discussions, Zhang Xintong's face flushed and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
As Wen Ruan's loyal assistant, I'm about to become rich!
I was the righteous partner who bravely stood up for Wen Ruan when she Liu Chuanzheng!
A salary of 5000 is no longer enough for me! I want to earn 8000!
Li Meiling gritted her teeth and wiped the table clean, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Although she resented Wen Ruan and often tripped her up, she still had emotional intelligence.
No matter how you look at it, Wen Ruan strong, and even their serious and domineering chairman Zhang Shun has to be careful.
For a moment, Li Meiling felt confused and fearful.
Having worked together at the company for so long, she knew the other person's situation very well.
She's just an ordinary person with a relatively high level of education. If there's anything special about her, it's probably that she has a young and promising boyfriend.
This is also what she is most jealous of about Wen Ruan.
Just then, the sound of footsteps, "tap tap tap," rang out again.
Human Resources Director Peng Haijing walked out from the direction of the main conference room.
He paused as he passed the Marketing Planning Department and asked somewhat eagerly, "Who in our department has the best relationship with Wen Ruan?"
The group exchanged glances, Zhang Xintong stood up without hesitation, saying, "Director Peng, oh, oh, oh! Is there something you need?"
Peng Haijing glanced around and nodded, saying, "Xintong, Wen Wen and the others are making tea. Go help them bring it in later, and while you're at it, ask Wen Ruan if she has any requests and let me know!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xintong's eyes lit up instantly.
She's about to take off with Wen Ruan, so naturally she has to state her position and declare her status as Wen Ruan's "best colleague".
Other colleagues sensed that something was amiss.
Peng Haijing was one of the company's earliest HR staff and a confidante of Chairman Zhang Shun. It is said that the two had a very special relationship.
The fact that she values Wen Ruan so much speaks volumes about her status.
A female colleague who was on good terms with Peng Haijing couldn't help but ask, "Sister Haijing, didn't Wen Ruan say she was here to do her handover work? Why...?"
"Stop!" Peng Haijing said nervously, "Don't talk nonsense. Wen Ruan's previous resignation was due to Liu Chuanzheng's deliberate slander. The company leadership has already investigated the reasons and Liu Chuanzheng has now been punished by law. Wen Ruan is still an employee of our company!"
Even if the handover process wasn't completed, the termination certificate wasn't issued, Wen Ruan didn't sign, there's still a chance to salvage the situation.
This is a matter of life and death for the company, so Peng Haijing naturally had to express her opinion.
Hearing Director Peng's excited and serious words, even a fool would know that something was wrong.
Wen Ruan definitely has a close relationship with the acquiring party this time.
A colleague whispered, "Sister Haijing, why is Wen Ruan with the company's leader?"
"Yes, can you tell me about that?"
As the company's HR director, each of them had dealt with Peng Haijing, and many of them had a good relationship with her.
So when asked, I didn't try to hide anything.
Peng Haijing was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Wen Ruan is one of the main representatives of this acquisition party."
"Whoosh—" A burst of uncontrollable noise rang out.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Everyone quickly shut their mouths, but their eyes still couldn't hide their shock and astonishment.
Peng Haijing said solemnly, "You are all my Wen Ruan colleagues of many years, and we work in the same department. I hope you can say some good things about the company in private, so that everyone's jobs can be guaranteed."
The previous erroneous decision by the leadership to lay off employees has made this negotiation more difficult.
The only thing we can do now is try our best to make up for the mistakes we made before.
"Received!" a quick-thinking colleague replied immediately.
Guangying Media is no small company; this acquisition is worth hundreds of millions.
This is sufficient proof of the investor's strength.
And Wen Ruan became the other party's representative.
The implications of this are clear to everyone.
More importantly, what position will Wen Ruan hold once the acquisition is completed?
Surely he can't still be just an ordinary team leader in the Marketing Planning Department, right?
He might just become a vice president-level figure!
He might even directly replace Liu Chuanzheng as Executive Vice President.
In this way, all their attendance, salaries, and work will be managed by Wen Ruan.
Some colleagues who had conflicts with Wen Ruan had a bitter taste in their mouths.
Li Meiling grinned, her face alternating between red and white.
She suddenly realized something.
Director He of Meigou Technology in Imperial Capital, may really be after Wen Ruan.
So, that's how it is...
Why? How could this be? What gives her the right?
Li Meiling shuddered uncontrollably and slumped weakly into the seat.
I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, and my mind went completely blank.
As Zhang Xintong walked lightly towards the break room with HR Director Peng Haijing, her steps were light and airy.
She even secretly pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
Originally, I was planning to go to the branch office of Xingyun International Group with Sister Wen Ruan, but I was still a little apprehensive about the future development.
Judging from the current situation, they will probably stay with Guangying Media.
And for me, an ordinary planning specialist who came from the countryside and had just graduated a year ago, the most brilliant turning point in my life has arrived.
Sometimes, choice is more important than effort.
In this life, as long as you meet a mentor and follow in their footsteps, you can change your life.
She is now incredibly grateful for the choice she made.
After a period of hectic activity in the tea room.
Following Peng Haijing's instructions, Zhang Xintong and several female colleagues from the administration department carried trays and entered the bustling conference room one after another.
"Sister Wen Ruan, have some tea." Zhang Xintong approached Wen Ruan with a clear purpose and gently placed a cup of tea in front of her.
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Ruan, who was listening to Ji Qiuyu and the others, Wen Ruan around and Wei Xiao, saying, "Thank you, Xintong, you've worked hard."
"Of course!" Zhang Xintong had never been so excited. "Director Peng asked me to ask you if you have any other needs?"
"No, you can go do your thing."
Zhang Xintong quickly replied, "Then I'll stand at the door. Sister Wen Ruan, just call me if you need anything."
"Fine, whatever you say." Wen Ruan shook her head with amusement, immediately seeing what she was thinking.
She had always had a good impression of her assistant: kind, sensible, clever, capable, and without many ulterior motives.
He's a rare and helpful assistant.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited her to go to Xingyun International.
However, now that he has returned to Guangying Media after going through many twists and turns, his assistant's position will naturally rise accordingly.
Zhang Xintong's face instantly lit up with a bright smile. She put down the remaining cups of tea, picked up the tray, and was about to leave.
A middle-aged man in his forties standing next to her suddenly spoke up, "Please wait a moment, Ms. Zhang. Our legal representative from Xingyun International will be here shortly. We will then begin the meeting in full force."
"OK."
Upon hearing the words "Xingyun International," Zhang Xintong's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't even know how she walked out of the conference room.
Good heavens! Xingyun International is going to acquire Guangying Media?!
No wonder! No wonder Wen Ruan was here!
Standing outside the conference room, leaning against the wall, Zhang Xintong was filled with excitement.
I started to fantasize about my wonderful future.
Just then, another set of footsteps sounded.
"Thump thump thump—" The speed was not fast, but very steady and firm.
Immediately after, at the turn of the corridor, the figure of Li Moying, the company's assistant, appeared, followed by four middle-aged men in suits and carrying briefcases.
The leader was a seasoned veteran, handsome with a simple, slicked-back hairstyle, exuding maturity, composure, and excellent image and temperament.
His steps were calm and confident, his eyes were deep and sharp, and his face carried an indifferent calmness that seemed unfazed even if the sky were to fall.
Assistant Director Li accompanied him, bowing slightly in a very humble posture.
Zhang Xintong quickly guessed the other person's identity.
Legal counsel for Xingyun International Group.
Holy crap! No wonder it's a big company, even their legal team has such a commanding presence!
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the main conference room.
Zhang Xintong subconsciously moved her feet to the side.
Assistant Li Moying knocked on the conference room door, waited a moment, and then gently pushed it open.
"Chairman Zhang, the lawyers from Xingyun International Group have arrived."
"Please come in!"
Immediately afterwards, four lawyers dressed in formal attire walked into the spacious and bright conference room.
"Thump!" Ji Qiuyu, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up, and the chair behind her leaned back.
She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes showing some surprise, and said, "Director Luo! Why did you come in person?"
Xingyun International Group's legal services are indeed outsourced to Quan Jing Law Firm.
But to her utter surprise, it was Luo Bin, the head and chief partner of the firm, who personally showed up, leaving her feeling flattered and overwhelmed.
This person is not only a top-notch lawyer, but also a shareholder and director of many large companies; he is a true big shot.
Of course, what she respected most was the other party's status as a board supervisor of Tang Zong Entertainment.
He had known Mo Xiangwan and Su Yu for a long time and they were very close friends.
Luo Bin smiled faintly, "I just happened to be in Yancheng to take care of some things, so this was a side trip."
"Thank you very much for your attention." Ji Qiuyu stepped forward quickly.
Seeing Director Ji's attitude, Wen Ruan realized that the visitor was no ordinary person, so she quickly stood up and left her seat.
To show that she was valued, Ji Qiuyu arranged for her to sit next to him.
Now, of course, we have to make way. Immediately afterward, the external lawyer from Guangying Media also quickly walked over.
With an excited and nervous expression, he extended his hand and said, "Lawyer Luo, it's an honor to meet you! I am Zhou Guangqian from Hetu Law Firm. I heard your speech at the Financial Law Forum last year."
"Hello, Lawyer Zhou."
Zhang Shun, who was sitting in his seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and stood up, and stepped forward and said, "Lawyer Luo, I am Zhang Shun, the chairman of Guangying Media."
"Hello," Luo Bin said politely and calmly.
Seemingly worried that Chairman Zhang might misunderstand, Lawyer Zhou quickly explained, "Chairman Zhang, this is Director Luo Bin, the chairman and chief partner of Quan Jing Law Firm. Quan Jing is one of the top eight red-circle law firms and one of the top law firms in China."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun paused slightly, then his smile grew even warmer. "Thank you so much, Director Luo, for your attention to our company!"
He naturally knew about the renowned Quan Jing Law Firm, but he didn't expect it to be so prestigious.
With Ji Qiuyu and Zhang Shun's attitudes, the focus of the entire conference room shifted to the lawyer who suddenly appeared.
Zhang Xintong, who was hiding by the door, peeked inside and her heart was pounding.
No wonder he had such a powerful aura, he really is a big shot!
I've really made something of myself, meeting the head of one of the top law firms in the country!
Who knows, when we go in to serve tea and water later, we might even exchange a few words.
Just as she was lost in thought.
Luo Bin loosened his tie, revealing a gentle and friendly smile, and faced one direction, saying, "Wen Ruan, Ms. Wenruan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Luo Bin, and also Mr. Tang's personal lawyer. I'm here today mainly to discuss the equity transaction and the signing of the power of attorney with you."
In an instant, the conference room fell silent.
All eyes turned to Wen Ruan, who was standing by the wall.
Even Ji Qiuyu was taken aback for a moment.
Does "Mr. Tang" refer to the Tang Song?
Although she knew Tang Song was extraordinary, she never imagined he was this extraordinary.
This is Luo Bin! His personal lawyer is even personally handling business? Signing a power of attorney?
This scenario is roughly analogous to Su Yu making a cameo appearance in a third-rate web series—unbelievable.
Wen Ruan pursed her lips Wen Ruan and quickly replied, "Hello, Director Luo, thank you for your hard work!"
She also felt the weight of her young boyfriend once again.
I mentioned before in Imperial Capital that I would entrust a lawyer to handle the nominee Nominee Holding Agreement and share transfer on her behalf.
But I never expected that the lawyer he was referring to would have such a powerful background.
No wonder he's the man that Su Yu and I both had our eyes on.
Luo Bin smiled and nodded at her, "We'll discuss the details separately afterward. Let's resolve the Guangying Media matter first."
As he spoke, Luo Bin's calm and reserved gaze swept over Wen Ruan across from him.
She is indeed a very charming woman, both in terms of appearance and temperament.
Compared to the previous signee, Zhao Yachian, Wen Ruan appears exceptionally normal and outstanding.
At least she graduated from a prestigious university and has worked in the media industry for many years, so her personal qualities and character are easy to verify.
Unlike Zhao Yachian, this is a mature and rational woman with her own way of thinking.
Moreover, she is not young, and there may be issues of offspring and inheritance in the future.
So even if it's for the sake of the child, she would definitely want more.
Where there is desire, there will be conflicts of interest.
This is probably why both Director Jin and Su Yu wanted to win her over.
And is Mr. Tang's direct action of arranging for Wen Ruan to hold a portion of Xingyun International's shares on his behalf a way of putting pressure on Director Jin and Su Yu?
He had no idea about that.
However, he trusted this aloof, rational, and meticulous Mr. Tang immensely.
After all, he almost never makes a mistake.
After a few brief pleasantries, everyone sat down again.
Luo Bin nodded slightly to everyone, gracefully pulled out the chair next to Wen Ruan and sat down, gently placing his briefcase aside.
His posture was upright and natural, revealing an innate professional demeanor.
Negotiations regarding the acquisition of Guangying Media have officially begun.
Luo Bin also joined the legal review process as the person in charge.
When it comes to work, his entire demeanor changes.
His voice was deep and magnetic, each word clear and powerful, articulating the compliance of the transaction terms in a well-organized manner.
He used simple hand gestures to assist his explanation.
Gradually, the entire conference room seemed to be enveloped by his aura.
Zhang Xintong, who was hiding outside the door, patted her wildly beating heart.
He licked his dry lips, took out his Mobile Phone, and started searching for keywords: "Quan Jing Law Firm" and "Luo Bin".
Gradually, his mouth opened wider and wider.
Quan Jing Law Firm is a global legal services firm with 19 offices, over 400 partners, and more than 2,000 professional lawyers worldwide. It is one of the internationally recognized and outstanding large-scale comprehensive law firms.
Moreover, Luo Bin is quite famous. According to the encyclopedia entry, he is the chairman of the management committee of Quan Jing and is frequently reported by professional media. He is a true social celebrity.
Wow! Does my Wen Ruan sister have such a high status?
Is my brother-in -Tang Song really that awesome?
Does that mean I, Zhang Xintong, am going to become incredibly awesome?!
Zhang Xintong stomped her foot hard, and felt a burst of light before her eyes, as if she had arrived at the other side of heaven.
Swallowing hard, he quickly took out his Mobile Phone, opened WeChat, and pinned Tang Song and Wen Ruan's chat to the top.
Then he sent another message to Tang Song, describing Wen Ruan's visit to Guangying Media today.
3 p. m.
A major piece of news spread through the company's internal group chat.
And this was quickly confirmed.
Xingyun International Group, a leading company in China's media industry, acquired Yancheng Guangying Media Co., Ltd. through a combination of cash and bonds.
At the same time, both parties signed a stringent Betting Agreement to ensure that Guangying Media's original business could remain stable.
Just as all the employees were celebrating.
Then came an even more shocking piece of news.
Wen Ruan will serve as the company's Executive Director and president.
9 p. m.
Beicheng Garden Residential Area.
The tightly closed security door was gently pulled open, and Shen Yuyan dragged her tired body in.
He casually tossed his bag aside and sprawled out on the soft sofa.
After resting with my eyes closed for a while, my energy and spirit gradually recovered.
I poured myself a cup of hot water and drank it as I walked to the door of the Second Bedroom.
"Knock knock knock—" After knocking lightly twice, Shen Yuyan pushed the door open and went inside.
"Ah!" Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, completely absorbed in her work. She quickly switched the computer screen and took off her headphones. "Yan Yan, you're back?"
Shen Yuyan raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Hehe, writing hentai again? You're really addicted."
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Qing's face was red and hot, and her eyes darted around.
Unlike her outsourcing work at the legal firm, after joining Fanfu Suzi Media, she only needed to be responsible for reviewing the company's contract compliance, making her work much easier.
I also had more time to write.
I can complete all my tasks at the company during the day.
As a young lady of high birth, Xu Qing is destined to become a minority shareholder in the company in the future, so it's only right that she enjoys it.
When I got home in the evening, I naturally wrote down some little things I liked.
In her story, the male protagonist Tang Song, has already slapped the scheming Liu Ruyan several times and discovered the hidden face of the infatuated Xiao Jing.
Xu Yanqing was always there, and she got to complete the final show-off segment, which was incredibly satisfying.
I'm currently writing the plot where the male lead is rewarded. Although it's all borderline content, it's incredibly exciting to write.
Shen Yuyan tapped her forehead speechlessly, then suddenly asked, "Tomorrow, Tang Song's due diligence on Ordinary People will begin, right?"
"Yes, that's right. All the company's documents have been printed out; they're very well prepared."
Shen Yuyan out a breath, the image of Tang Song flashing through her mind, and said, "I plan to talk to Ordinary People about outsourcing marketing and promotion services. I will also visit your company tomorrow."
The due diligence on Youjie Home Services has been completed, and the agreement is to make the first payment within a week.
She relaxed completely.
With this money in her account, she can increase her promotional efforts for the platform.
The long-awaited GGs can finally be arranged.
Guo Liyuan was very accommodating, sending quotes that were basically at cost price.
It was much lower than the media companies she consulted.
Since she had this opportunity again, she couldn't resist wanting to see for herself the truth about Ordinary People.
A 20 million yuan funding round! I orchestrated it all myself!
Shen Yuyan felt a sharp pain in her heart whenever she thought about her previous decision.
"By the way, will Tang Song himself be going tomorrow?"
Xu Qing shook her head vigorously. "I don't know. Why are you asking?"
Shen Yuyan calmly, "Nothing, just pure curiosity."
"I'll ask him." Xu Qing quickly picked up her Mobile Phone, found Tang Song's chat box, and clicked on it.
She hadn't seen Tang Song for a long time either.
This guy doesn't post on Moments either. I'm a bit lacking in inspiration right now, so I need to find some material.
Of course, she wouldn't admit that she was looking for material for hentai anime, since it was just something she did on the side.
Xu Qing's dark eyes darted around as she left a message: "Tang Song, due diligence starts tomorrow. Will you be coming to the Yuhua Business Building?"
"Buzzing—"
Tang Song: "I don't know."
Shen Yuyan, who was secretly watching, was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
Xu Qing, standing next to her, gritted her teeth, muttered a few complaints under her breath, opened her photo album, found a beautiful picture, and shared it.
Soon, another message popped up.
[Tang Song: "Arrived around 10 AM (#smileyface)."]
Xu Qing Xu Qing her eyebrows triumphantly and muttered, "With my beautiful photos, Little Song is completely captivated!"
Shen Yuyan's lips twitched as she witnessed this scene.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
My best friend is really something!
The key question is, how did they develop this tacit understanding?
