Chapter 656 Zhou Jun wants to get closer
Su Mingzhe is quick in speaking and doing things.

The next day at work, I assigned the matter of starting a financial company.

It's not just the procedures for opening a company, but also the office location.

It has been almost a year since I came here. I am worth hundreds of billions, but I am still renting a house to work in.

Originally, Su Mingzhe had hoped that Su Xiao could buy a good piece of land, and then his company would design and build a building that would satisfy him.

As a result, after so much time has passed, Jianghai City has auctioned a lot of land, but there are very few really good lands.

Moreover, once these good plots of land appear, they will be acquired by companies with backgrounds, and it will not be Tianlong Company's turn to bid at all.

Seeing that building his own building was a long way off, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to spend a large sum of money to buy a stand-alone building in Lujiazui.

To be honest, it is not cost-effective to spend money to buy a building.

The other party offered 8 billion yuan for the office building with more than 30 floors. Su Mingzhe sent people to negotiate for several months. Seeing that an economic crisis was approaching and the other party's capital chain was at risk of breaking, he lowered the price to 7 billion yuan.

Even at this price of 7 billion, it is not worth it.

If Tianlong Company were allowed to buy the land and start construction on its own, the cost would not be higher than 4 billion.

In other words, spending 7 billion to buy a building is equivalent to giving 3 billion in profits to others.

After acquiring the building, Su Mingzhe asked Yinghai Group's decoration company to decorate it.

With the financial company's business license in hand, Su Mingzhe began to look forward to the day of its official opening.

In the blink of an eye, it was late September.

That day, after Su Mingzhe asked Tang Lili to deliver a document to the securities company, he called Wu Hongmei into his office and asked:

"Hongmei, the financial company is about to open, and Su Xiao will take over as Tianlong's general manager in the future. Will you follow me to the financial company, or stay?"

"Boss, I listen to you."

Wu Hongmei has been working as a secretary for the man for more than half a year, but whenever sensitive topics come up, she blushes and avoids looking at the man, not daring to look up at him.

When Su Mingzhe saw the secretary's reaction, he couldn't help but tease her:

"Listen to me? Do you do whatever I tell you to do?"

"Well, boss, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Wu Hongmei has now mastered the tricks of being a secretary, and she looks like she is absolutely well-behaved and obedient.

Su Mingzhe took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire in his abdomen, and then slowly said:

"In that case, then you can follow me to the financial company and continue to work as a secretary."

"Okay, thank you boss."

When Wu Hongmei heard that Su Mingzhe asked her to continue to be his secretary, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She and Su Xiao are classmates, and she is even Su Xiao's senior.

Now, Su Xiao has climbed above her step by step.

Although Wu Hongmei admired Su Xiao's talent and ability, she also had a sense of shame and was unwilling to be Su Xiao's subordinate.

"Pack your things and prepare to move out together later."

Su Mingzhe not only asked Wu Hongmei whether she was willing to follow him, but also asked several managers from the Finance Department and the Human Resources Department.

Naturally, these managers were willing to follow suit.

Su Mingzhe asked them to ask more employees who were willing to work in financial companies, and try to set up the organizational structure of the financial company as soon as possible.

After these managers' hard work, finally, one-third of the employees were willing to follow to the financial company.

Among them are Ye Qian (Tina) from the Human Resources Department, the little koi Du Juan, etc.

Because the conversation involved a wide range of issues, the entire Tianlong company was in a state of agitation, and everyone was discussing what to do next.

This morning, Su Xiao came to see me.

As soon as Su Xiao entered the room, she couldn't help but bombard the man:
"Boss, you're going to open a financial company, but you want to drain Tianlong's foundation. What does this mean?"

"What do you mean? I can't go there alone, right? Besides, I've already told Manager Ye and Manager Yang that I can only take one-third of the employees with me at most."

Su Mingzhe looked innocent.

But Su Xiao was not used to his bad habits:

"What do you mean by one third? The HR department, the finance department, and the operations department have more than three hundred people in total, and more than a hundred of them are the backbones who followed you. Let's not talk about the rest, but the efficiency is more than half lower than before!"

"You can't say that!"

Seeing that Su Xiao was really angry, Su Mingzhe quickly tried to persuade her:

"How about this? I'll let these people leave in three groups, giving you some buffer time. Is that okay?"

Seeing that the man had given in, Su Xiao could only sigh and choose to accept:

"When are you planning on moving out?"

"The headquarters is still doing the final renovation. We will move there after everything is done."

Su Mingzhe answered, and then teased: "If you miss me in the future, you can go find me over there."

"What do I want with you? Isn't night enough?"

Su Xiao rolled her eyes at the man.

Ever since I moved to a larger flat, the man has come to see me almost every night, causing me to be late for work several times the next day.

Su Xiao was not obsessed with that kind of thing, so naturally she didn't want to waste her daytime working time to accompany a man.

Besides, Su Xiao knew that Su Mingzhe was always surrounded by women, and she was not the kind of woman who would use her beauty to please men.

According to men, they like a woman because of her temperament, ideals, and talents, and her appearance only accounts for a small part of them.

After Su Xiao left, Su Mingzhe called Tang Lili in and asked:
"How is the renovation progress at the Financial Building? How long will it take to complete?"

Tang Lili shook her head slightly and said with a bitter smile: "Boss, although the decoration plan is very simple, the management office area must be completely renovated, and it will take until November at the earliest." Su Mingzhe was unhappy when he heard it:
"Wouldn't that take more than a month? Ask them to speed up a bit. If it really doesn't work, separate some office areas and let everyone work there first. The organizational structure of the financial company is about to be finalized, and we can't all work here together."

Tang Lili silently calculated the project date, then nodded:

"Okay, boss. I'll communicate with them right away and try to move there after the National Day!"

"Go."

While Tang Lili was communicating with the decoration team, Su Mingzhe left the work to Su Xiao, skipped work and went home to accompany He Yao to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

Hospital color ultrasound room.

He Yao let the man hug her. She held a printed color ultrasound image in her hand, made a few gestures, took a few photos, slightly modified some information, and posted it on her circle of friends.

The copy reads: "It's so happy to be together as a family!"

Just two minutes after I posted on WeChat Moments, the phone rang.

"It belongs to Sister Xiaoxue."

He Yao handed the phone to Su Mingzhe and asked the man to answer it for her.

Su Mingzhe pressed the answer button and said with a smile:
"Sister Xiaoxue."

"Hmm? Xiaozhe, are you and Yaoyao still in the hospital now?"

Li Xue's voice today was a little light and gentle, which made Su Mingzhe imagine:

"Still here, what's going on, Sister Xiaoxue, are you in the hospital too?"

Li Xue didn't know that her neighbor had always had bad intentions towards her, and she smiled and replied:

"Well, Zhou Jun and I came here for a premarital checkup today, and happened to see Yaoyao's circle of friends."

Su Mingzhe asked and found out that the place where Li Xue had her marriage check-up and the place where He Yao had her pregnancy check-up were on the same floor and could be reached by just turning a corner.

Li Xue quickly brought her fiancé Zhou Jun to the ultrasound room, and then saw He Yao with a bulging belly, and immediately shouted in surprise:
"Yaoyao, you've only been pregnant for a few months, and your belly is already so big?"

"Yeah, twins."

He Yao's belly is indeed a little big.

She got pregnant in May and now it is the end of September, more than four months pregnant. Other pregnant women may not show their pregnancy yet, but He Yao has to walk with her belly a little bit protruding.

He Yao pulled Li Xue and asked:
"Sister Xiaoxue, when will you and Brother Zhou have your wedding?"

"We'll prepare it for National Day."

Li Xue's level has now been raised to a higher level, and her temperament has become more stable.

Su Mingzhe and Zhou Jun also greeted each other and casually said congratulations.

In the novel, after Li Xue was investigated, Zhou Jun quickly cut off his relationship with Li Xue and turned around to pursue Su Xiao.

In the TV series, Zhou Jun has never shown up since Li Xue was investigated.

Su Mingzhe didn't want to make any comments about Zhou Jun. He just said that he was ambitious, capable, and had no bottom line.

If such a person rises to prominence, it will not be a good thing for ordinary people.

However, there are too many people like Zhou Jun in this world, and Su Mingzhe is too lazy to care about them unless they provoke him.

Afterwards, Zhou Jun and Su Mingzhe chatted for a while and suggested getting together in the evening.

Su Mingzhe directly declined:

"Brother Zhou, Yaoyao is too heavy to sit for a long time now. Let's get together again after she gives birth."

He Yao originally wanted to agree, but seeing that her man had rejected her, she smiled and said:

"Sister Xiaoxue, if you are getting married on National Day, I won't be able to go in my current health. When the time comes, let Xiaozhe toast you a glass of wine on my behalf."

"You twins really should be taken good care of."

Li Xue didn't care either.

After all, it is a Chinese custom that pregnant women cannot attend weddings.

The four of them then chatted for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.

Seeing Su Mingzhe helping He Yao leave, Zhou Jun's smile gradually faded:

"Xiaoxue, was Mr. Su really as introverted as you said when he was a child?"

"Yes, he never talked to outsiders when he was a child."

Li Xue thought Zhou Jun was resentful because Su Mingzhe was cold towards him, so she quickly explained for Su Mingzhe:

"He has lived with his uncle since he was a child. You should be able to understand that situation, right?"

"Of course I understand."

Zhou Jun frowned slightly, but did not explain his thoughts just now.

On the other side, after Su Mingzhe and He Yao left the hospital, He Yao sat in the passenger seat and looked at the man with a frown on his face. She couldn't help but teased:

"Hubby, you looked unhappy when you saw Zhou Jun just now. Are you jealous that he got to marry Sister Xiaoxue?"

"Of course not."

Su Mingzhe denied the woman's "slander" and then explained with a smile:
"Just now, Zhou Jun didn't know how to behave and tried to test me. I feel like he's a bit scheming and I'm a little worried about Sister Xiaoxue. If one day Sister Xiaoxue fails in the officialdom, I'm afraid that Zhou Jun will not only not help her, but will add insult to injury."

"You're such a meddlesome person. Whether Zhou Jun is good or bad, that was chosen by Sister Xiaoxue herself. What does it have to do with you?"

He Yao became unhappy when she saw that the man was really worried about Li Xue.

Seeing that the woman was unhappy, Su Mingzhe had to change the subject.

As for the matter between Li Xue and Zhou Jun, it really has nothing to do with me.
