Chapter 201 What a smooth talker!
Chapter 201 What a smooth talker!
Yu Yan, another young woman in the trio, explained, "What we mean is, a nurturing system."
He Qiaoyun still didn't quite understand, "What is a nurturing system?"
Yu Yan said, "What I mean is that your image in the video is that you took over these two messy factories from your ex-husband, and from a complete novice, you gradually turned the tables, overcame all obstacles, and grew into a capable boss. This is the growth story."
Fang Zhao, the male member of the three-person team, nodded vigorously, "Yes, these kinds of videos about people who grow up against all odds are not only popular with your peers, but also with many college students and young people. If we add some funny elements, that will be the ultimate weapon."
Chi Ying said, "I've already written the script for the first episode. We'll go over the lines later."
Yu Yan: "Aying was the director, I was the production assistant, Azhao was in charge of filming, and the three of us were involved in post-production editing."
Fang Zhao: "The props and equipment are all ready. We can start filming after the meeting."
He Qiaoyun roughly understood what they meant. Following their work plan, she said, "Okay, let's start rehearsing the lines."
She doesn't understand these complicated things, but she knows how to use people; what they say seems feasible at first glance.
The four of them had a meeting all morning, and after lunch and a short rest, filming officially began in the afternoon.
After a busy day, it was almost six o'clock. It was time to leave work, so she packed up her things and said to them, "Go home now. Everyone has worked hard today. Go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow."
The filming was suddenly interrupted, which the three of them never expected. She was so lenient in her management that she let them leave before dark. Their previous employer had kept them up until the early hours of the morning, and they left because they couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing that they weren't moving, He Qiaoyun couldn't help but urge them, speaking in a tone similar to that of a child: "Hurry up and get off work. This place is remote, so go home early."
She then kicked the five employees out, locked the factory gates, said goodbye to them, and drove away in her van.
At that moment, all she could think about was getting a new car in a certain price range, and she didn't even notice their expressions.
The five dismissed employees looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
Chi Ying said, "Are you hallucinating? These days, there are still bosses forcing employees to leave work?"
Yu Yan pinched her, and she hissed in pain, "I wasn't dreaming..."
Fang Zhao clicked his tongue in amazement, "If I could find a boss like this who pays well, has little work, doesn't require overtime, and doesn't revise plans, I would work for her for the rest of my life."
Xiaochun nodded, "Me too."
The group chatted for a few minutes and then went their separate ways.
He Qiaoyun drove home and bought some ingredients at the market on the way.
After a busy day, carrying groceries home, all I want to do is lie on the sofa and play on my phone.
So she put the groceries in the refrigerator, ordered takeout, and treated herself to a cup of milk tea.
The freedom of living alone means I don't have to cook if I don't want to, and I don't have to worry about my husband or mother-in-law's attitude.
When her takeout arrived, she ate dinner while watching videos of online influencers introducing cars.
Electric cars, gasoline cars, hybrid cars, domestically produced cars, and cars imported from overseas—she was overwhelmed by the choices. Some cars even required a wait of several months. After looking around for a long time, she still didn't know which one to choose.
She's past the age of buying a car to show off her wealth and status. Her requirements are very simple: she just wants to buy a reasonably priced, decent car for daily commuting.
Just as I was worrying, a message from Feng Jiashu popped up: [Good evening, how was work today?]
He Qiaoyun: [Yes, it went very smoothly. The children's ideas were quite imaginative and interesting, and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable.]
Feng Jiashu: [I'm really looking forward to the finished product.]
He Qiaoyun chuckled at the screen: "Don't get your hopes up. Just treat it normally. If the results aren't good, you'll be disappointed."
Feng Jiashu: [No, as long as you film it, it won't be bad.]
He Qiaoyun clicked her tongue and muttered, "She really knows how to talk..."
Remembering that she wanted to buy a car, she asked, "By the way, I have a question for you."
Feng Jiashu: [You say.]
He Qiaoyun: [I want to buy a car. Do you think a gasoline car or a new energy vehicle is better?]
Feng Jiashu: [Choose a gasoline-powered car.]
He Qiaoyun raised an eyebrow, not expecting Feng Jiashu to speak so decisively.
Just as he was about to make a decision, Liu Biao's message popped up: [Good evening, have you eaten?]
She casually snapped a picture of the takeout food on the table and sent it over: "Eating right now."
Liu Biao: [You're eating takeout again? I'm just killing time anyway, how about I be your babysitter? Below market price, by the way.]
He Qiaoyun: [No, takeout is pretty good. I love takeout. By the way, I have a question for you.]
Liu Biao: [What is it?]
He Qiaoyun: [I want to buy a car. Do you think a gasoline car or a new energy vehicle is better?]
Liu Biao: [Oil truck.]
He Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows again; this was the first time the two had reached an agreement.
Or perhaps, people of their age were among the first to encounter gasoline-powered cars, and having gotten used to them, they wouldn't want to accept and adapt to new things.
Actually, her first choice was to buy a small new energy vehicle for commuting in the city, where charging would be cheap.
The internet says that the higher the usage rate, the more valuable a new energy vehicle is, but their statement made her hesitate.
She asked them: "Why?"
Feng Jiashu: [Convenient.]
Liu Biao: [Convenient, just need to refuel and we can leave.]
He Qiaoyun was surprised that the two people's answers were surprisingly consistent, which made her even more hesitant.
Thinking about it, it really is convenient.
Feng Jiashu: [However, this is just my personal opinion. Since it's the car you'll be using, you should test drive both models separately and choose the one you prefer.]
Liu Biao: [Let's choose a gasoline car. Whenever you have time to go choose a car, call me, and I'll go with you. I guarantee I'll pick a good one for you.]
Now, the two are different again. One only offers his opinion but respects her final choice, while the other forces her to agree with him.
She chuckled and shook her head, replying to each of them with a "okay," thus ending the conversation.
Feng Jiashu was right; she should test drive the car to truly understand it before making a choice. His words cured her dilemma.
I've been busy for the past few days.
It was Friday, near the end of the workday, and they played the edited video in the conference room.
In just over a minute, it gathers all the hottest internet terms and memes, making it both funny and story-driven. Every shot is valuable and full of gems. It has to be said, young people really understand the internet.
However, He Qiaoyun was still a little embarrassed to show the video to everyone.
After the video finished playing, the three of them winked at He Qiaoyun. "President He, how was it?"
He Qiaoyun's face flushed slightly as she said, "Very good, well filmed, well edited, I like it very much, I'll upload it online later."
The three of them immediately beamed with joy.
This time, He Qiaoyun gave them ample rest time as well as sufficient working time. They didn't want to disappoint their boss, so they improved their efficiency, corrected their work attitude, and put in their best effort to produce good results and satisfy her.
Therefore, both parties were very satisfied.
He Qiaoyun stood up. "It's getting late. Everyone, go back and pack up and leave work. See you next Monday. Meeting adjourned."
She then returned to her office, and Deng Heng and Xiao Chun left shortly after.
The three of them looked at each other and gave each other an excited high five.
Yu Yan said, "Working with President He is great. The pay is high, the workload is low, and there are weekends off."
Chi Ying: "Yes."
Trust them wholeheartedly, give them a lot of authority, let them do their own thing, don't nitpick, don't act like a boss, be polite and respectful, don't smoke or drink, and don't force them to work overtime.
Only bosses like this are willing to work for her.
