Xiao Yu's Daily Life (Part 2)

Du Yirong, the HR manager, was about to leave when she heard the CEO instruct her, "Ask the secretary to come here."

"Okay, I'll go get her right away!"

Du Yirong turned and left the office. After closing the door, she looked back at the door with a hint of suspicion.

She felt that CEO Xiao was a bit strange today. In the past, CEO Xiao would definitely discuss the situation of each interviewee in the resumes with her, make a preliminary judgment on who was more suitable, and then CEO Xiao would interview them again, and they could start working.

But today, especially when the CEO was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window holding a teacup, her expression and demeanor seemed to have changed completely.

Secretary Sun arrived quickly.

"Tell me about the current situation of the company and its main business."

Meeting her puzzled gaze, Lu Xing asked his question, which made Secretary Sun even more surprised.

Theoretically, no one in a company knows the internal situation better than the boss, especially an entrepreneur like Xiao Yu.

So Lu Xing's question seemed particularly strange.

However, Secretary Sun was professional, and perhaps it was her deep trust in Xiao Yu, believing that the CEO must have her reasons for doing this, so she began to introduce the company to him:

"Our company was founded by you, CEO Xiao, when you were abroad. After returning to the country, the headquarters was moved back. Currently, there are only two overseas offices.

Currently, the company has two hundred and fifteen employees in China. The main businesses include equity investment, securities investment, and a portion of debt investment, etc. Divided by region, it is divided into domestic and foreign investment. Among them, securities investment is mainly overseas securities, and equity investment focuses on domestic small and medium-sized startups...

The company departments include: Administration, Finance, Logistics, Securities Investment Management Department, and the Strategic Development and Investment Department, which you currently value the most."

After Secretary Sun finished introducing everything in one breath, Lu Xing pretended to nod in approval and asked her, "What do you think about the company developing into the real estate industry?"

"Real estate?"

Sun Ying thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Real estate is not suitable for the company's development. The return on investment is too slow. If you are interested in developing real estate, you can acquire a company and become the chairman. However, the real estate industry is difficult now, and I don't think there is any industry that is worth your personal involvement, CEO."

Lu Xing smiled, "Okay, you can go out. I'll think about it."

Sun Ying nodded, reminded him that there was a meeting at 9:30, and then turned and left the CEO's office.

After leaving the office, she also looked back with confusion. The CEO seemed a bit unfamiliar today, as if she knew nothing about the company, not even the company's finances.

A boss can be unclear about the business, but they cannot be unclear about their own money bag.

After she left, Lu Xing picked up his phone and saw the message from Xiao Yu.

"I'm helping you attend class, Introduction to Machine Learning [Image]"

She sent a photo taken from the corridor looking into the classroom. Lu Xing could see many familiar classmates and guessed that she didn't play with her phone during class.

The next message:

"You handle it."

Lu Xing smiled and sent her a message saying, "Your company's HR gave me a few resumes. I've pushed them back to tomorrow. I'll go to the meeting later, and I'll just play dumb."

Xiao Yu still didn't reply, probably back in class.

A dignified CEO in charge of billions of assets, yet she had to waste time in a junior year class. Lu Xing felt sorry for her!

9:25.

Secretary Sun came to remind him about the meeting. She turned to leave, but Lu Xing quickly called out to her, "I'll go with you."

This way, he wouldn't have to figure out where the conference room was.

Secretary Sun nodded slightly, picked up her phone, and sent a message in the management group: "Meeting, the President is going to the conference room."

The originally quiet small group instantly became lively, with workplace elites from all corners of the country replying:

"Received."

"Coming right away!"

"Give me half a minute."

"Almost there!"

When Lu Xing arrived at the conference room, more than half of the company's management had already arrived.

There weren't many people, about ten or so.

Lu Xing estimated that their annual salaries started at a million, which was a world of difference compared to his embarrassment of needing to borrow money from his counselor for two thousand yuan.

But now, he was actually the boss of this group of people!

He could only say that fate was truly wondrous.

"Everyone's here? Let's start the meeting."

Seeing that Lu Xing hadn't spoken, Secretary Sun gave an opening remark. Since all the company management were looking at him, Lu Xing had no choice but to speak.

He cleared his throat and said, "My throat isn't feeling well today, so the meeting will be chaired by the secretary. I'll be observing."

It was all Xiao Yu's fault!

She hadn't mentioned today's meeting at all!

Lu Xing had reason to suspect that she just wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but didn't she know that if Lu Xing made a fool of himself, it would ultimately be her reputation that suffered?

"President Xiao, please take care of yourself."

Secretary Sun said with concern. Lu Xing nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"Today's meeting will primarily discuss the capital flow of Haotian Technology and propose solutions."

Secretary Sun skillfully began to guide the discussion, having the management speak one by one.

Lu Xing, who was observing, finally understood the cause of the issue. A ten-million-yuan investment from his company had been squandered by Haotian Technology in less than half a year. Someone had heard rumors that after receiving the investment, the other company's president immediately used various means to embezzle the funds and buy a sports car. Now, Haotian Technology's finances were a mess, essentially declaring the investment a failure.

Lu Xing felt Xiao Yu's pressure.

He just sat there, without asking any questions, yet he made a group of financial industry managers with million-dollar annual salaries sweat profusely. From who introduced Haotian Technology in the first place to who conducted the background check, everything was listed out, allowing Xiao Yu to decide who would take the blame, and who would bear the major and minor responsibilities.

They discussed for a long time, and a preliminary plan took shape, summarized by the company's vice president.

Of course, Lu Xing had his own ideas about this matter, but what he said didn't count.

He picked up his phone and saw that Xiao Yu had already sent instructions:

"Have Vice President Liu Yong and the Financial Director go to Haotian Technology to investigate the finances. Go immediately after the meeting. I don't want to see anyone from that company before the reason is clear, to avoid getting angry."

Lu Xing cleared his throat and, under their watchful eyes, instructed, "Liu Yong, you and the Finance Director, go investigate their financial situation. Go immediately after the meeting ends. I only want to see the final report, nothing else! If the other party doesn't have a reasonable explanation for the funds' whereabouts, report it to the police and then tell me."

"Okay, President Xiao, we'll go right away! I've already notified their finance department not to touch the accounts before we arrive!"

The two immediately replied.

"Mm."

Lu Xing nodded slightly, and the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room eased considerably.

Then Secretary Sun discussed some matters regarding the company's daily management. Lu Xing didn't say a word throughout. After the discussion ended, he announced the meeting was over.

Back in the office, there was basically no work.

The morning passed in a flash.

Lu Xing didn't go back to the large apartment for his lunch break. He had his assistant order some takeout. After eating, he lay on the office sofa and scrolled through his phone.

Xiao Yu: "[Image]".

Lu Xing clicked on it and immediately couldn't help but laugh.

He was eating a meal costing over two hundred yuan at Xiao Yu's company, while Xiao Yu was eating three dishes and a soup from the school cafeteria at his school.

"Come to school this afternoon and move your things to the hotel. You can move into the apartment when it's ready!"

"Also, use my phone to transfer thirty thousand to yourself. I'll use it to top up my meal card."

Xiao Yu added.

It took a while to figure out the money transfer, but Lu Xing finally understood. He used Xiao Yu's phone to transfer thirty thousand to his own account, but the money wasn't his; it was for when Xiao Yu was him.
