Chapter 672 - 326: Marketing Department Manager, Wang Shuo
Chapter 672: Chapter 326: Marketing Department Manager, Wang Shuo
Huamao Mansion, 14th floor.
Wang Shuo carefully observed Shennan’s office environment. The decor leaned toward a warm and healing style, with cute pet pendants hanging everywhere. Even at the end of the hallway, a wall displayed Shennan’s products alongside a timeline of the company’s development history.
It was founded on August 16th, giving it a history spanning a grand total of just over a month. He thought, "What kind of company development history is this? If business partners visit the company and see this, their confidence would probably drop by half..."
Wang Shuo couldn’t help but complain internally, though Shennan’s working environment was undeniably comfortable. There was none of the typical oppressive and tense atmosphere of a workplace; instead, a leisurely and tranquil vibe permeated the entire company. The presence of little cats and dogs roaming about completely washed away any dreary corporate feel. It was as if for Shennan’s employees, coming to work was just another colorful part of their lives, rather than a burden or a source of stress.
This made Wang Shuo very envious. He figured that working in a company like this must be extremely blissful.
"Hello, President Lin!"
Passing employees bowed in greeting when they saw Lin Shen arrive. The smiles on their faces held none of the usual restraint a subordinate showed a superior, but were instead filled with genuine admiration and joy. It seemed Lin Shen was more of a friend to them than a boss.
"Follow me," Lin Shen said.
Led by Lin Shen, the two arrived at the door of the general manager’s office. He then knocked on it.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"Come in." Qin Yuenan’s cool and elegant voice drifted from inside the office.
Hearing this, Lin Shen led Wang Shuo inside. Currently, there were only two people in the office: Qin Yuenan and Xu Lei. Qin Yuenan sat behind the desk, while Xu Lei was giving her a work report. Although Xu Lei was technically Lin Shen’s secretary, he rarely worked at the office. Therefore, Xu Lei’s duties had shifted to arranging Lin Shen’s itinerary and then handling reports for Qin Yuenan.
After all, Lin Shen was more like the face of Shennan, while Qin Yuenan was the one steering the ship. Because she primarily reported to Qin Yuenan, Xu Lei had essentially become her secretary as well, doing the work of two.
This made Lin Shen feel rather embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled gently at Xu Lei. "Thanks for your hard work, Lei."
"Ah? It’s no trouble at all." Xu Lei felt a bit flattered and hurriedly replied with politeness, not daring to overstep boundaries in the slightest. After all, Qin Yuenan was watching from the sidelines. Any strange behavior on her part would probably arouse suspicion and cost her the job. She cherished her current position quite a lot.
"President Lin, please carry on. I’ll take my leave now." Xu Lei quickly left the office.
After closing the door behind her, she couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief. Then, her gaze became slightly unfocused, and she pursed her thin lips from time to time, as if reminiscing about something. She thought back to Shennan’s recent team-building event and the kiss she shared with Lin Shen in the VIP movie room. It had been breathless and passionate. It was so intense that Xu Lei had momentarily believed she and Lin Shen were going to go all the way right there and then. However, a phone call from President Qin had ruined her scheme.
To say she wasn’t frustrated would definitely be a lie. But Xu Lei didn’t harbor any resentment toward Qin Yuenan; she merely felt that her luck had been poor. Furthermore, since Lin Shen had taken the initiative to kiss her, their relationship was clearly no longer that of a normal boss and secretary. Xu Lei believed that as long as she was given a chance to be alone with Lin Shen, she could successfully secure her status as his woman!
As for that chance...
Xu Lei narrowed her eyes slightly before returning to her desk to handle her official duties. Among them was the trip to the Capital City arranged by Qin Yuenan. The preliminary plan was scheduled for after the Double Eleven shopping festival. Since every district in Modu already had a physical Pet Guardian Home store, they would begin expanding to surrounding areas.
Of course, the specific plans had to be sorted out separately, but as long as they were heading to cities around Modu, Lin Shen absolutely had to go. After all, for the first physical store in a new city, site selection and contract negotiations had to be handled by Lin Shen himself. Meanwhile, Qin Yuenan would most likely "hold the fort" at the Pet Guardian Home headquarters to manage company affairs.
When the time came, there was a good chance she would get to accompany President Lin on a business trip! She reasoned that if they could stay alone together while traveling, her perfect opportunity would surely present itself. A gleam gradually appeared in Xu Lei’s eyes as she silently formulated a plan in her mind.
Meanwhile, in the general manager’s office.
Upon seeing his former boss, Wang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and nodded in greeting. "Hello, President Qin. We meet again. You’re as beautiful as ever."
"Hello." Qin Yuenan gave a slight nod before glancing at Lin Shen with some surprise. "You went to pick up Wang?"
"Yeah." Lin Shen shrugged casually, while Wang Shuo quickly expressed his gratitude.
"President Lin is truly too kind to me. I never expected him to come to the high-speed rail station to pick me up personally. I’m incredibly flattered! Thank you so much, President Lin."
"It’s nothing." Lin Shen waved his hand dismissively, then chuckled. "Shall we proceed with the interview now?"
"Alright."
Seeing Wang Shuo nod, Lin Shen shot Qin Yuenan a glance. Understanding his intent, she stood up and led the way out of the office, saying, "Follow me."
Subsequently, the three of them relocated to a conference room. Because Wang Shuo was applying for a relatively high-level position, this interview was quite different from those for regular employees. The questions asked were sharp and highly professional, covering topics such as his views on the future of the pet market, strategic development, and potential industry trends.
In the end, the three of them deliberated in the conference room for nearly three hours before concluding the interview. Wang Shuo successfully secured the position he desired: Marketing Department Manager.
"I remember when you were in Jinling, your annual salary was 200,000, right?"
