Chapter 511: Incidents in Hengdian (3)



“I understand. I’ll make the call myself/’ Zhou Chao nodded and took out his phone to find Shang Xiaoqing’s number and dialed it.

After just a few rings, Shang Xiaoqing answered the calk As the person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City, she had known about the change in ownership a long time ago. At that time, she had considered leaving, but the thought of all the years she had spent working here made her change her mind. She had originally thought that the new owner would call Iter, but several days had passed without any contact, making her wonder if she had been forgotten.

11 Boss, hello!’1 Shang Xiaoqing was feeling uneasy, and she didn’t know what kind of person the new boss was.

“I’m waiting for you at the company’s front desk/’ Zhou Chao said and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao noticed the receptionist looking at him with an infatuated expression, which made him think, ’’Could this girl have never seen a handsome guy before?”

He cleared his throat awkwardly, and the receptionist suddenly came back to her senses. Her face turned red, and she quickly returned to her position, not daring to look at Zhou Chao again.

After waiting for about a minute or two, he heard a series of brisk footsteps coming from upstairs. Shang Xiaoqing was accompanied by three middle-aged men as they quickly descended the stairs. Their decisive and authoritative demeanor gave Zhou Chao a favorable impression.

Glancing around, he noticed that besides the receptionist who had come out, there was also a handsome man not far away. Could this be the boss? This thought crossed his mind, but Shang Xiaoqing immediately dismissed it. How could the boss be so young?

Shang Xiaoqing quickly walked up to the receptionist and asked,11

Did anyone come looking for me just now?”

“Yes,” the receptionist replied.

“Where are they?”

The receptionist directed her gaze towards Zhou Chao, and Shang Xiaoqing followed her line of sight. It was the handsome man she had seen earlier. Could this really be her boss? He seemed surprisingly young.

Shang Xiaoqing nervously approached Zhou Chao and called out, “Boss?”

Zhou Chao, with a faint smile, looked at Shang Xiaoqing and said, “Surprised, huh?”

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiaoqing’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly responded, “Yes, I’m indeed surprised. I didn’t expect the boss to be so young.”

She didn’t come up with any other excuses, as she knew that the boss couldn’t be fooled. It was better to be straightforward.

As for the executives behind her, they hadn’t fully recovered yet. While they knew about the change in ownership of Hengdian Film and Television City, they never expected their new boss to be a young man in his twenties. They couldn’t help but think back to their own struggles during that age and couldn’t help feeling envious.

“Boss, let me introduce them. These are Director Tian, Director Xu, and Director Xu.”

“Boss, hello!” the three of them greeted in unison.

“Let’s go, and let’s head to your office,” Zhou Chao said as he stood up. The smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a stern and serious expression.

Seeing the change in the boss’s demeanor, Shang Xiaoqing and the others knew that a decision was looming, and they had to face the choice of staying or leaving.

“Boss, this way, please,” Shang Xiaoqing quickly led Zhou Chao towards her office.

Along the way, many employees from various companies displayed curious expressions, all turning their gaze towards Zhou Chao, wondering about the identity of this handsome man who had top executives accompanying him.

Soon, they arrived at Shang Xiaoqing’s office. Just as they settled in, a figure rushed in, holding a document and muttering, “Director Shang, this is the work plan for the next quarter, please take a look…”

As the newcomer took in the scene inside the office, they stopped mid­sentence and swallowed their words.

“I’m sorry, Director Shang, I didn’t know there were guests.”

“Mr. Chen, please place the documents on the desk and then make some tea before coming back.”

“Mr. Chen?” Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao immediately recognized that the good-looking young man was Shang Xiaoqing’s secretary. Somehow, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about this person, possibly due to what had happened earlier.

Mr. Chen glanced at Zhou Chao, who was sitting among the high-level executives, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He nodded at Shang Xiaoqing’s request and then turned to leave the office.

“I’m sorry, Boss. Xiao Chen has only been here for a short time, and there are many things he doesn’t understand yet. Please forgive him.”

“Only a short time?” Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised as he looked at Shang Xiaoqing,

Shang Xiaoqing nodded, not understanding why Zhou Chao was interested. “It’s been about two months?1

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and then said softly, “Fire him then.” “Bang, crash!”

Following the sound, everyone turned to look and saw Mr. Chen standing at the doorway. Several broken cups lay on the floor. It seemed he had overheard Zhou Chao’s words.

Shang Xiaoqing’s face turned slightly unpleasant. She was bothered by Mr. Chen’s loss of composure and also feared that this might be Zhou Chao’s way of asserting authority. Even the other high-level executives looked tense.

“Mr. Chen, please go downstairs for now, and have someone clean up this mess.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen regained his composure, his face showing a mix of resentment and confusion. He was about to say something but then saw the stern look in Shang Xiaoqing’s eyes. Helplessly, he turned and left the office.

Observing this scene, Zhou Chao’s lips curled up slightly. “This is getting more and more interesting.”

After Mr. Chen left, Shang Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Chao seriously and asked, “Boss, why did you decide to dismiss Mr. Chen? While he’s only been here for a short time, he has been handling his responsibilities efficiently. If you don’t provide a reasonable explanation, I won’t agree with firing him.”
