The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 1199 Prepare to return

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin laughed: "No wonder Xue Ning has been able to build such a large business; her speed in recruiting talent is truly remarkable."

Shen Xuening said, "Grandpa, I think Chi Hong is really good, but he's a bit too insecure. It might be related to his past experiences. He must have been too surprised when I approached him today, and he can't process it quickly. Once he understands, he'll definitely have an epiphany."

Grandpa Qin was very supportive: "Grandpa trusts your judgment."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

At this moment, Madam Qin said, "Xue Ning has finished the competition and found a good talent. To celebrate, Grandma specially asked the housekeeper to book a restaurant for us. Let's go straight there."

Everyone agrees.

……

When Chi Hong returned to the hotel, his mind was still foggy. He sat on the edge of the bed and fell into a daze.

Will good luck really come my way?

I've lived for over twenty years and it seems like I've always been unlucky, never having had a single stroke of good luck. Could it be that I've finally had some good luck this time?

But with so many people in the competition, why does she only care about herself? Could it be a scam?

Thinking of this, Chi Hong took out the business card from his pocket. Xifulai General Manager: Shen Xuening.

This name seems somewhat familiar...

Chi Hong left to get his phone and searched for Shen Xuening on Baidu.

On Baidu, there is a long and colorful profile of Shen Xuening, with titles such as township entrepreneur, outstanding youth, young entrepreneur, advanced individual of her hometown, etc., which are dazzling.

However, Chi Hong patiently read through it and then confirmed Shen Xuening's words: she was not a liar, everything was true.

Chi Hong's gaze shifted to the business card, staring at the phone number, hesitating as he considered calling Shen Xuening.

It's only a little past six o'clock now, they should be having dinner. It doesn't seem appropriate to call now. Let's call later and have a proper chat then.

Chi Hong took a deep breath and gradually relaxed. He didn't have money now, but he would have money after he found a job. Once he had money, he would stand tall, and his family and friends would no longer look down on him.

No, I should listen to President Shen. Why should I care about other people's opinions? As long as I'm doing well, that's all that matters.

Chi Hong took another deep breath, this time feeling more relaxed.

……

After the competition, Tu Yue and Gong Li found a place to have dinner.

Tu Yue picked up a piece of beef and put it on the plate to grill: "Gong Li, what do you think of this competition?"

Gong Li is now completely relaxed, just like the feeling of ease after the exam: "I think it's okay, even better than what I usually embroider."

Tu Yue smiled and asked again, "So what place do you think you can get?"

Gong Li became less confident. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. After all, there are still so many people who haven't been tested yet, and there are quite a few experts this time. I was very confident at first, but now I think it would be good if I could get into the top thirty."

Tu Yue looked at Gong Li: "Could it be that you're being modest?"

"I hope I'm being modest," Gong Li smiled. "Well, the competition is over, and I've done my best. Let's see how they perform."

Tu Yue laughed and said, "I thought you were going to say it's up to fate."

Gong Li chuckled and said, "The level of the masses is fate. Anyway, I don't care anymore, I've done my best."

Tu Yue nodded and comforted her, "That's true, let's enjoy the food now."

Gong Li suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, sister, do you have any collaborations with President Shen?"

Tu Yue asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Gong Li replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to work with her. She's a super blogger with hundreds of millions of followers. Working with her will definitely make me money."

Tu Yue placed a piece of meat into Gong Li's bowl: "What can you do with her?"

Gong Li said with slight excitement, "She has a lot of cooperative projects, such as vegetables, wine, local specialties, and seasonings, all of which are very good. I checked out her shop last night, and she has a lot of repeat customers."

Tu Yue said, "I haven't even looked at it closely yet, but you have. Are you really planning to cooperate with her?"

Gong Li said, "Cooperating with her isn't something you can just do whenever you want. She has certain requirements. I'm just considering it; I don't know if it will work out yet."

Tu Yue asked curiously, "So what are you planning to collaborate on?"

Gong Li said, "Don't I own a restaurant? There are many things that can be done with a restaurant. Let's go over and check it out, and see what we like to work on."

Tu Yue thought for a moment and said, "It seems that she offers home delivery, so I can consider it."

Gong Li grabbed Tu Yue's wrist: "Do you also want to cooperate? If you do, then we can go on a trip there and check out the market."

Tu Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, then let's choose a time to go and take a look."

Gong Li had high hopes for Shen Xuening, and was therefore eager: "How about we go over after the competition?"

Tu Yue agreed: "Sure, give me some time to arrange it."

……

Qin Zizhou pulled Shen Xuening into his arms and asked gently, "Now that the competition is over, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Xuening played with Qin Zizhou's slender fingers and said casually, "I'll go to the competition venue again tomorrow. Chi Hong hasn't called me yet. What if he hasn't come to his senses?"

Qin Zizhou agreed, "Then I'll go with you. Watching the embroidery competition is quite a good way to cultivate one's character."

Shen Xuening asked with concern, "Won't your company's affairs be delayed?"

“With Dad here, it’s alright,” Qin Zizhou said. “Besides, the Qin family’s system is already very stable. Even if I’m not here for ten days or half a month, there won’t be any problems.”

Shen Xuening was slightly relieved: "That's good."

Qin Zizhou said, "What about your company's affairs? I think you have so many things to do, you should hire a vice president. That way, when you go out, you can hand over the work to the vice president and two secretaries, and you won't have any worries."

Shen Xuening thought for a moment: "If I had a vice president, he could share some of the work with me, and I could free up my hands to expand my business."

Qin Zizhou said, "That's right."

Shen Xuening pondered, "But who should we choose for the deputy general manager position?"

Qin Zizhou kissed Shen Xuening's hair: "Haven't you thought about this before?"

Shen Xuening shook her head: "No."

Qin Zizhou prompted: "In your heart, if you wanted to entrust company affairs to one person, who would you choose?"

Shen Xuening frowned slightly: "When I go out, I usually make arrangements in advance, and then have Cao Wenyu notify me if anything happens. I can't think of anyone else to ask you like this."

Qin Zizhou tentatively suggested, "Then how about hiring someone else?"

Shen Xuening remained silent for a while: "No, there haven't been any personnel changes in the company for a long time. Let's give the people in the company a chance."

Qin Zizhou asked, "Are you planning to select someone from the company to be the vice president?"

"Hmm." Shen Xuening didn't say anything more. People in the company flashed through her mind one by one, and finally she really had a candidate in mind. But if he was promoted and given a raise for no reason, some people would probably be unhappy. She should make the selection fair and just, and also test his abilities.

Qin Zizhou smiled and asked, "Do you need me to give you the selection test papers?"

Shen Xuening did not refuse: "I can take a look."

Qin Zizhou immediately sent the employee assessment test paper to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening clicked to look at the results; if someone was a good fit, she would keep them; if they didn't fit in with the company, she would eliminate them...

Just then, Shen Xuening's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was an unfamiliar number. After a moment's thought, she answered, "Hello, this is Shen Xuening."

Chi Hong's apologetic voice came through: "Mr. Shen, hello, this is Chi Hong. I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "It's okay, have you thought it through?"

Chi Hong said excitedly, "I've made up my mind. I'm willing to work for you. But I'd like to ask, what will I be doing? And how much salary will you pay me?"

Shen Xuening replied, "I plan to set up an embroidery stall in the scenic area. You will be the stall owner. You can embroider next to the stall for tourists to visit and learn. You can also take on jobs. If you take on jobs, the profits will be split 30/70, with you getting 70% and me getting 30%. You will be guaranteed a minimum salary of 10,000 yuan, and there will be various benefits. If you do a good job, there will be bonuses as well."

Chi Hong listened with longing in his heart: "Is the treatment really that good?"

Shen Xuening said, "Of course, no one who works for me has said anything bad about it. You can go and try it out first."

Chi Hong no longer hesitated and was ready to seize this opportunity: "Then I agree. When will you be there?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "I'm not going home until the day after tomorrow, so you can come over the day after that."

Chi Hong couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Yes, President Shen."

Shen Xuening hung up the phone and continued looking at the internal test questions Qin Zizhou had sent her: "These test questions really test your interpersonal skills."

Qin Zizhou did not deny it: "A company is a small society, and interpersonal relationships are naturally an important aspect. If someone can score high in this area, their emotional intelligence must be high."

Shen Xuening agreed with this statement, but she had another point to make: "You're right, but I think interpersonal relationships only account for one-third of the equation. The majority of the equation depends on the ability to complete the task."

Qin Zizhou said, "What you said makes some sense. After all, the company is a place to make profits, not a place to drink tea."

Shen Xuening finished reading the test paper: "I will use your test questions as a reference when setting my own questions."

Qin Zizhou smiled and said, "We welcome any discussion at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone called Shen Xuening again. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was Tu Yue calling. Shen Xuening answered, "Tu Yue, is something wrong?"

Tu Yue asked, "Xue Ning, are you going back tomorrow? If not, let's have lunch together as a farewell dinner."

Shen Xuening agreed: "Sure, are you going to book a restaurant?"

Tu Yue hurriedly said, "I'll decide, I'll take you to eat at a private kitchen, it's very delicious."

Shen Xuening agreed: "Okay, then I'll wait for your notification."

Tu Yue then asked, "By the way, are you going to the competition tomorrow?"

Shen Xuening answered truthfully, "I'm going."

"I understand," Tu Yue said. "Gong Li and I are also planning to go. I'll come find you when we get to the venue."

Shen Xuening agreed: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zizhou asked, "Why did that girl invite you to dinner? Did she want something from you?"

Shen Xuening didn't bother to speculate, as it would be too mentally taxing: "We'll find out when the time comes, but I don't think anything serious will happen. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Zizhou liked Shen Xuening's carefree personality: "You're quite open-minded."

"Absolutely, otherwise I'd be exhausted with so much to do every day," Shen Xuening said. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower and get ready for bed."

"Mm." Qin Zizhou watched Shen Xuening go to the bathroom.

……

Today is August 3rd, and there are still 30 contestants competing at the same time. However, there are no outstanding performers today, which makes the live broadcast room and the venue somewhat deserted.

Shen Xuening, Qin Zizhou, Tu Yue, and Gong Li left before 11 o'clock.

Tu Yue drove Shen Xuening, Qin Zizhou, and Gong Li to a private restaurant.

On the way, Tu Yue asked, "Xue Ning, are you planning to invest in G City?"

Shen Xuening asked, "Why do you ask that?"

“I think it’s a waste of your talents to just come here to participate in the competition,” Tu Yue said. “A busy person like you should be able to do a lot of things at once, which is why I made that guess just now.”

Shen Xuening thought for a moment: "Originally I wasn't planning on this, but since you just mentioned it, I think G City is a good place to invest."

Tu Yue then asked, "If you were to invest, what would you be planning to invest in?"

Shen Xuening said, "I think I will open a hot pot restaurant."

Tu Yue became interested: "I was watching your videos last night and saw Xifulai Hot Pot Restaurant, which is number one on the must-eat list. Is it yours?"

Shen Xuening said, "Yes, it's really delicious. If you ever come to my place, you must try Xifulai Hot Pot. Just a friendly reminder, you have to queue up three days in advance, otherwise you might not be able to get a table."

Tu Yue chuckled and teased, "With you here, how could I not get any?"

Shen Xuening said, "If you want to go to the back, you can certainly eat there, but you won't eat at the restaurant. You can take the soup base home and eat it at home."

Tu Yue said, "That's fine too. Good food isn't about location, it's about taste."

Shen Xuening nodded: "That makes sense."

……

After everyone finished lunch, Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou returned to the villa and began packing their things.

Qin Zizhou entered the living room and asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, aren't you coming back with us?"

Grandpa Qin waved his hand, not wanting to burden the younger generation: "No, you go first. Young people have too much to do. We old folks will take care of ourselves."

Qin Zizhou sat down next to Grandpa Qin: "Grandpa, if you need anything, just give me a call. I'll take care of it whenever I'm free."

Grandpa Qin said, "Grandpa still has the ability to solve problems. You young people just need to take care of your own affairs."

Qin Zizhou said, "Grandpa, then Xue Ning and I will go back tomorrow."

Grandpa Qin patted Qin Zizhou's knee and instructed, "Give us a call when you arrive."

Qin Zizhou nodded: "Understood, Grandpa."
