Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

In the afternoon, He Zhijing called the two vice presidents to his office.

Li Songling is a smart and capable person. Although his eyes are not big, they are very bright and sometimes look like laser eyes. He has a square face and a kind face. He is an honest and reliable person in the eyes of his mother Sun Xiaofei. When he followed his father He Zhang, he was 24 years old, only 4 years younger than his father. He is now 53 years old.

Actually, He Zhijing is the elder.

Zhao Fang used to work with her mother Sun Xiaofei as a salesperson. She is now in charge of the group's cosmetics and medical beauty business departments. She is 46 years old, has fair skin, looks younger than 30, and is well maintained. She can be said to be the living signboard of He's Cosmetics.

He Zhijing invited them to sit on the sofa, talked about the strategic cooperation between He's and Xu's, and asked for their opinions.

"This is a great move, President He is really wise. We have always been friendly with the Xu Group, and now the relationship between the two companies is even closer. Logically, this should have happened a long time ago." Li Songling praised.

"That's right. Both families will benefit from it. It's mutually beneficial." Zhao Fang also agreed. "If Mr. He and Mr. Xu can get married, it will be an even closer relationship."

He Zhijing knew her good intentions, so he didn't care and said, "Boss Xu and I have a brother-sister relationship. From another perspective, we are also close relatives."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Fang smiled awkwardly.

"Cheng Yue and I are going on a business trip tomorrow afternoon. The integration of the sales system platform will be launched tomorrow. Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao, you two will be responsible for following up on this matter. If you have any questions, you can contact me. As for Mr. Xu, she will find someone to communicate with you. The technical department must prepare for the system connection."

"Don't worry, Mr. He." Li Songling was calm and asked, "Is Mr. He going to Kuncheng to discuss a mining cooperation project with Yuanmao Group?"

"That's right." He Zhijing nodded. "After that, I'm going to Hangzhou to visit an international jewelry exhibition and find some designers. This business trip may take about 10 days."

The two vice presidents said: "We congratulate the president on his success."

When it came to negotiating the mineral usage rights, He Zhijing felt it was a sure thing thanks to his eldest brother's relationship, and he wasn't worried about any problems.

He Zhijing turned around and asked Zhao Fang: "Boss Zhao, how is the investigation going on with the Weimei knockoff products?"

Zhao Fang said: "The 'Wei Ai Wei Mei' cosmetics company was established less than two years ago. It is most likely a shell company with strong support from a consortium called 'Crow International'. Most of the funds are estimated to come from this consortium, and the product technology may also be provided by this consortium. But the details of this Crow consortium have not been found. It is a very mysterious company. This is all we know for now."

He Zhijing frowned. The name "Crow International" didn't sound like a good thing. It was estimated that nothing could be found out. If he wanted to investigate, he could only ask his eldest brother for help. He said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, you don't have to follow up on the investigation. I will ask someone to do it. You just need to focus on the market for our products."

Zhao Fang nodded, "Okay, Mr. He."

Li Songling became serious, "Is this Crow Consortium related to some ancient European families? For example, is it related to some legendary vampire family?"

He Zhijing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "This is also a direction for investigation."

After explaining the matters to the two vice presidents, he asked Zhao Fang to go back first and left Li Songling in the office to chat for a while.

He Zhijing personally brewed a pot of tea in the office, made a cup for Li Songling, handed it to him, and said kindly: "Uncle Li, let's chat and drink some tea."

Li Songling took the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. He. Since you call me Uncle Li, I will call you A Jing."

He Zhijing smiled: "Well, sure. You were my father's assistant back then, so you are my elder. When we chat in private, I will call you Uncle Li."

Li Songling laughed: "Speaking of which, I have watched you grow up. After you came back from abroad, you officially took over He's from your wife. The company's development in the past few years can be said to have taken a step forward. It's really formidable to see young people."

He Zhijing said: "I have to thank you elders for your help."

Li Songling recalled the past and felt emotional: "I was 24 years old when I followed your father. Every time I think of that time, it seems like it happened yesterday. In a blink of an eye, I am 53 years old now. I have lived for most of my life. Time is unforgiving. Ah Jing, you now have the demeanor of your father. As an elder, I am also very pleased. It's a pity that your father can't see it. Every time I think of your father's whereabouts are still unknown, I am very sad..."

He Zhijing kept listening to him. He didn't expect that he could talk so much. At the end, his voice was already choking.

Li Songling knew how to be sentimental.

He Zhijing was even moved by what he said. He had never had any in-depth communication with Li Songling, especially private communication. They usually just handled their business impartially and maintained a superior-subordinate relationship.

Since returning from Yunshe, He Zhijing's attitude has changed a lot, and he wants to know more about his father's affairs. He first thought of his father's former assistant, Li Songling, who is now the vice president of the group.

He Zhijing patted Li Songling on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Li, thank you for your contribution to He's over the years. You have worked for the company for nearly 30 years. It will soon be the 45th anniversary of the company. I plan to present you with an Outstanding Contribution Award."

Li Songling waved his hand: "Ah Jing, no need. That's what I deserve. There are some employees in He's company who have more seniority than me. Give it to them. Besides, Mr. Zhao's contribution is no less than mine."

Yeah, that’s what he said.

He's has always been a humane company, with many old employees still working diligently, many of them in front-line factories.

Finally, He Zhijing decided to select 3000 outstanding contribution awards and 10 excellent employees from the more than 35 employees of the entire group company, just enough for the 45th anniversary celebration.

Li Songling agreed with this plan.

He Zhijing poured him another cup of tea and brought up what happened back then, "Uncle Li, you once blocked a knife for your father. What happened?"

He heard about this from his mother, and not many people in the group company knew the details.

At that time, Li Songling had just joined the company for about half a year, and the public security was not as good as it is now. Once, He Zhang's car was robbed on a remote road by a group of people. A crazy gangster stabbed him with a knife, but Li Songling rushed to help He Zhang block the knife.

Afterwards, Li Songling was rushed to the hospital and recuperated for half a year. After this incident, He Zhang trusted Li Songling even more.

This is what he heard from his mother.

Li Songling smiled and said, "I have almost forgotten what happened back then. But the scar on my body is still there."

As he spoke, Li Songling took off his suit and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his upper body. There was a long scar from his chest to his abdomen, which was very conspicuous on his rye-colored skin, showing how dangerous he was at that time.

He Zhijing noticed that his muscles were very strong and he looked very energetic. He Zhijing also worked out regularly, so he knew that he must have exercised regularly to maintain such a good figure at his age.

He Zhijing asked curiously: "Uncle Li, do you exercise regularly?"

Li Songling nodded, "Yes, I have been practicing boxing for more than 20 years. Many people in the company know this. After I was stabbed that time, I started to strengthen my body and practice boxing. It is mainly for self-defense. I won't be afraid if I encounter robbery next time."

He Zhijing didn't expect that he could box. He nodded and smiled, "Uncle Li, you can do it."

Li Songling put on his clothes and continued, "At that time, the driver was already frightened, and Mr. He was struggling with the other two gangsters. Another gangster attacked secretly, and the situation was critical, so I rushed over to block the knife. When I woke up, I had been lying in the hospital for several days."

Li Songling spoke calmly and described it in the simplest language.

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

He Zhijing didn't say anything high-sounding, but used the simplest language to express his gratitude.

Li Songling smiled and said, "Mr. He and his wife have said thank you many times in the past. After so many years, Ajing doesn't need to say it again."

He Zhijing nodded, "Uncle Li, do you think it was an enemy seeking revenge, or was it just a coincidence?"

Li Songling said: "The police investigated many times afterwards and concluded that it was just a coincidence that they encountered a group of robbers. I think that is the case."

He Zhijing took a sip of tea and looked up at him, "By the way, Uncle Li, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Did my father have a cooperative relationship with a biochemical company called 'Bowei' in Country A?"

In the first few years after its establishment, Tianzhang Group was mainly engaged in chemical industry. Later, it switched to cosmetics and achieved great success. It then made beauty products and later started making watches. It has developed all the way to its current strong strength.

"Bowei?" Li Songling thought for a moment. "As far as I know, no. I followed your father for three years, and until the incident, he had basically never dealt with foreign companies, let alone business dealings. Ajing, why are you asking this?"

He Zhijing smiled and said, "Nothing. I saw an old business card of this company in my father's study, and I was wondering if He's medical beauty products had ever cooperated with this company. Since no, forget it."

The two chatted about some family matters.

After drinking a pot of tea, Li Songling went back.

Afterwards, He Zhijing went to the 29th floor to inform the people on the board of directors about the cooperation with Xu’s.
