Chapter 189 What is Go
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and several employees from the business department walked out. I saw that the boy named Yan Zheng also stepped out of the elevator and greeted a female employee who passed by the elevator door with a smile.
Judging from his appearance, he actually came to work!
I feel very surprised that this kid has such high attainments in Go, and he can make money with this ability. Why don’t he use his talent to come here to be a small salesperson?
I arrived at the office on the seventh floor. As soon as I sat down, my secretary Zhang Lanlan came over with a lot of documents to be processed for me to review. She first smiled and congratulated me on being the groom, and then went to make a cup of tea for me.
I flipped through a few volumes of documents, thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed the office of Shen Aimin, the manager of the Human Resources Department: "Hey? Is Lao Shen? I am Tang Qian. Has the business department recruited a group of new employees recently?"
"Yes, three were officially recruited on Monday. What instructions did Mr. Tang have?"
"Take the materials of these three new employees and take a look!"
"Okay, I'll bring it right away."
After putting down the phone, I realized that I was already very interested in the young man named Yan Zheng. A person's cultivation in Go has the level of a national player, and it is impossible to achieve without more than ten years of hard work. A talent like this is not only a famous person in the international arena, but at least he will not be an unknown person in China. What's strange is that not only do I know nothing about his name, but even Miss Kobayashi, who has been in the Go world for many years, is it very unfamiliar with him. This makes people feel very abnormal, and what's even more abnormal is that he actually works as a marketing salesperson in our company. Isn't this a waste of talent?
After a while, Manager Shen sent the materials for the three new employees. I asked a few casual questions and asked him to put down the materials and go back to work first.
Then I found the Yanzheng material file and opened it and read it.
The content is very simple: Yanzheng, male, Han nationality. Born on September 19, 1981 in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, he just graduated from B-U last year. He studied philosophy and had excellent grades. After graduation, he worked in two companies, but he did not last more than half a year.
After looking through it, I thought to myself, a college student who studies philosophy and is the most famous university graduate in the country, why did he come to our company and be willing to be an ordinary salesperson? With his academic qualifications, he can find a job that is more suitable for him. What is this kid named Yan coming from?
There was no abnormality or other thing on the material, so I threw it on the table and stopped reading it. I decided to get to know this person with time. Just his extraordinary chess skills are worth knowing him.
But... I will deal with the mountain of work in front of me first! I smiled bitterly and picked up another document to be approved...
About an hour and a half later, my cell phone rang. I took it out and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile. The phone was called by my sister who was studying in Xiamen far away. I guess the school should be on vacation tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Xiaoying came back and happened to be able to catch up with my wedding!
I answered the phone and smiled, "Xiao Ying, when will you be back? Your brother is going to get married soon!"
"Hehe! I promise to arrive before you get married! Hey, the groom, do you need me to give you something to marry?"
"I'll get it! How much money do you have to buy things? Besides, your living expenses are not paid by my brother? I'd better save you!"
"Please, brother! You don't have to pay for the gifts! It's such a big wedding, so I, as a sister, have to express my congratulations!"
I said with relief: "Xiao Ying... You have really grown up, I am really happy! You can come to my brother to attend my wedding to me. I am already very satisfied with this kind of heart!"
"Oh! It's here again! I can't stand it! Okay, okay, I'll come back by plane tomorrow, I'll go and see your new house!"
"Okay! I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow!"
"Well! By the way, brother, Sister Xu...is she... OK? Will she come to attend your wedding?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course, your sister Xu and your sister-in-law are the best friends, and she must be here. Maybe... she is still a bridesmaid!"
"Is that so? Brother... I said something. Don't dislike listening. I always think that Sister Xu likes you. Are you really... indifferent to her? I really want her to come... to be my sister-in-law."
I was silent for a moment and sighed, "Xiao Ying, there are many things in life, you can't do whatever you want. You will know when you fall in love later. Okay, if you have something to say, I'll say it tomorrow. Brother, I'm busy now!"
"Oh, then I'll call my parents, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
After putting away my phone, I sighed and continued to work.
When it was almost noon, the work at hand was finally over. I stood up and stretched, walked to the window, and looked at the factory not far downstairs. I took out my cell phone again and dialed the familiar number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was heard. Xu Shu lowered his throat, a obviously nervous but slightly coquettish voice: "What are you doing?"
I said, "Xu Shu, I want to see you once. Are you free today?"
"Your wife is here now! Do you think I'm free? Really! You're going to be the groom soon, so you can't control yourself? I'll tell you that this period is an extraordinary period, so you'll still stay with your wife! Don't be discovered by her, and we can't be able to be human."
I was sweating! Xu Shu thought I was so bold that I wanted to have an affair with her before getting married!
I said with a lot of laughter and cry: "Xu Shu, you misunderstood. I'm not...ah! I just have something to discuss with you!"
"Come on! I don't know you yet? A greedy cat! You'll be more content these two days. Your wife will pester you when she's honeymoon! Hehe! I won't tell you anymore, Jingjing is still waiting for me. Oh, by the way, I have agreed to be your wife's bridesmaid. Have you found your best man? I won't agree to it if you are not a handsome guy!"
I said angrily: "Xu Shu! I really have something to say to you!"
"No, no! You haven't remembered the lessons from the previous two days? I don't want to make mistakes at this time! Tang Qian, don't worry, I will always be yours, and our days will be long in the future. Don't be obedient for such a moment! Ah!"
I am absolutely speechless!
Xu Shu was probably afraid that Jingjing would find out, so he said, "I'll say it!" and hurriedly closed the line. I had to sigh and put down the phone and think about it carefully. What I want to discuss with Xu Shu will be the same sooner or later. Since it is inconvenient now, then... let's talk about it later!
Seeing that lunch time was coming, I turned around and got off the office building and went to the company cafeteria to get food.
At this time, the cafeteria was the most crowded moment. Although I was the vice president of the company, I never took the privilege of going to the line to make food. After finally finishing the meal, the cafeteria was full of people!
I accidentally saw Yan Zheng sitting in a corner having a meal, and there was a pretty female employee sitting beside him. The seat opposite him was empty. I thought to myself, and walked over with a plate of iron rice.
When I walked up to them, I smiled and said, "I'm sorry! Can I sit here and eat?"
Yan Zheng raised his head and looked at me, saying, "Of course! Please give me a try!"
The female employee around him was startled when he saw me and stood up and said, "Mr. Tang!" I smiled and nodded, put down the plate and sat down in front of them. While pulling out the disposable bamboo chopsticks, I said to the female employee, "Don't be nervous, I'll just have a meal in the cafeteria. Come on, let's eat together!"
The female employee sat down, but it was still a little unnatural.
Yan Zheng didn't show any nervousness. While eating, he looked at me and suddenly laughed: "Are you Mr. Tang? A legend in the industry. I have just arrived a few days ago, and you have heard a lot of your deeds!"
I smiled and said, "Oh? What did you say to me?"
Yan Zheng said: "You have developed the Yejianxiang Tea Drink, which is popular all over the world? It is really a big deal to invite the big star Xu Shu as the spokesperson! Mr. Tang is still so young, it is really hard to imagine that there will be such a great achievement. It is really worth learning from, such a junior!"
I smiled and thought to myself that this kid is quite good at flattering. It seems that being a salesperson will definitely not be the same as I used to be. I started to eat, and after eating a few bites, I said again: "Are you a new employee who just came in? Which department are you in?"
Yan Zheng said: "Yes! My name is Yan Zheng! I have just joined the company for less than a week and am now working as a salesperson in the business department!"
I nodded and was about to ask again, the female employee next to him interrupted, "Mr. Tang, Yan Zheng is very capable. He has just started working for two days and his performance is almost up to me. I am an old employee of the company!"
I looked at Yan Zheng and said, "Oh?"
Yan Zheng was very modest and said with a smile: "Actually, it's all the seniors who helped me. I am a new employee and I don't know any business, so how can I achieve any results!"
I took a closer look and saw that the female employee looked at Yan Zheng, and her eyes were circling, as if she was affectionate. I immediately understood.
Alas! You are so handsome, there is nothing you can do about it! I think when I was a salesperson, there was no "senior" who came to help me!
After eating for a while, I asked, "Xiaoyan, are you a college graduate?"
"Yes!"
"Do you have any hobbies?"
At this time, Yan Zheng stopped chopsticks and began to look at me seriously. I knew he had felt my unusual attention to him and was a little confused.
I continued with a smile: "Actually, we have met before, at Kobayashi Go Hall. However, you may not have any impression of me!"
"Kolin Go Hall?" Yan Zheng suddenly laughed and said, "I said why do you think Mr. Tang is familiar? As soon as you said that, I remembered that I met you outside the chess hall that day, haha!"
I said, "You have a good memory! How much did you win when you played lottery chess with Miss Kobayashi that day?"
Yan Zheng smiled and said, "That day...haha! In short, Miss Xiaolin lost so badly that she almost tore me up. That woman is so fierce!"
I thought about Miss Kobayashi's arrogant look, and then when I thought about the crazy scene after being attacked by Yan Zheng, I couldn't help but smile.
Yan Zheng asked: "Is Mr. Tang also a Go enthusiast?"
I nodded and said, "That's right, but my level is very bad. By the way, do you have time at noon? If possible, how about playing a coaching game with me?"
Yan Zheng smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth. He said, "No problem! But I dare not guide the chess. I will try to compete with President Tang!"
Then the beautiful female employee who had been listening for a long time suddenly asked timidly: "Mr. Tang, Yan Zheng, Go... what is it?"
