Luo Xiao’s guess

"I imagine that at the moment, the managers of the subsidiaries under Mingri Group all walk in pretty much the same way."

Zhang Lan looked at Luo Xiao and said with a smile.

She had heard from Shen Rou that the company had held a training session the day before yesterday, and that all positions at the supervisor level and above were required to attend.

Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei were living examples of this.

And Luo Xiao, who was right in front of her, was the manager of Lanpian Film and Television, so he definitely couldn't have escaped it.

"So that's how it is!"

Luo Xiao gave a wry smile, then didn't continue the conversation on that topic and went straight to the point.

"Assistant Shen has already given me a general overview of your situation, and I have also listened to your abilities and the songs you created previously."

"They are indeed very good and pleasant to listen to; there is absolutely no problem with you joining Lanpian Film and Television."

"However, you also need to understand the current situation of the company. At present, the company's main focus for development is still on films."

"In terms of music, we don't have any professionals here, so after you join, you will have to handle music-related matters on your own."

"But we can guarantee that we will not place any restrictions on you, and of course, we will provide you with some help when necessary."

"What do you think?"

Luo Xiao explained the current situation of Lanpian Film and Television.

In the music industry, the company actually already had an elderly song and dance troupe, so developing a singer as well wasn't impossible.

However, he had only come over today to talk to Zhang Lan in detail, and then he still had to go and report to General Manager Chen.

After all, Lanpian Film and Television was adding a new entertainment division, so he definitely had to report it.

"General Manager Luo, I have no problem with that. Actually, the reason I chose to join Lanpian Film and Television is also because of General Manager Chen."

Zhang Lan nodded with a smile.

The biggest reason she chose to join Lanpian Film and Television at this moment was still to thank General Manager Chen.

"Because of General Manager Chen?"

Luo Xiao looked confused, not knowing what Zhang Lan was talking about.

"Oh! It's like this. I had encountered some difficulties, and General Manager Chen happened to know about it and gave me some songs."

"That's about it. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to say anything too detailed."

Zhang Lan briefly recounted the course of events. However, because General Manager Chen had given her the songs anonymously, it indicated that General Manager Chen did not want this matter to be known by too many people.

So she had to try her best to simplify the matter, just letting Luo Xiao have a general understanding was enough.

However, these words took on a different meaning in Luo Xiao's ears.

It was General Manager Chen who gave the songs to Zhang Lan. He didn't know how the songs came about, but with General Manager Chen's capabilities, getting some songs would definitely be effortless.

But the songs weren't important in this matter.

What was important was that General Manager Chen had taken the initiative to give the songs!

What did this mean!

It meant that General Manager Chen thought very highly of Zhang Lan. If he didn't think highly of her, why would he give her the songs?

That was the first point.

And there was a second point.

Assistant Shen had come to him saying that her friend wanted to join the company; previously, he had always thought it was Assistant Shen's personal matter.

Now it seemed he was completely wrong.

This wasn't Assistant Shen's personal matter at all; it was clearly instructed by General Manager Chen.

Not saying it explicitly was probably because he was worried that if this matter got out, others would gossip about it.

After all,

promotions at Mingri Group were basically all very transparent. Entering the company through the backdoor so blatantly would have a very bad impact.

Luo Xiao's eyes became increasingly bright; he suddenly felt as if Wei Yan had possessed him.

So, guessing General Manager Chen's intentions was such a satisfying thing.

He now had a feeling that in the entire Mingri Group, apart from Wei Yan, no one could compare to him.

When it came to guessing General Manager Chen's intentions.

"General Manager Luo?"

Seeing that General Manager Luo was stunned and silent for a long time, Zhang Lan called out softly.

"Ah!"

Hearing the call, Luo Xiao instantly came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Lan.

"Since neither of us has any issues, let's find a time to sign the employment contract."

"Hmm, how about this: after I go back to the company, I will print out the employment contract directly. After I sign it here, I will have Assistant Shen take it to your home, and you can sign it then."

Luo Xiao said calmly.

Since General Manager Chen wanted to recruit Zhang Lan into the company in a low-key manner, he would just do as General Manager Chen intended.

And as for the reporting matter.

Since General Manager Chen already knew, there was no need for him to report it.

It was an unspoken understanding between everyone; if he went to report it and brought it out into the open, that wouldn't be good.

"General Manager Luo, will there be any problems with this?"

Zhang Lan opened her mouth.

She hadn't expected that a contract could be signed this way.

"No problem. I trust you very much. Remember to bring a copy of the contract back to the company after you join."

Luo Xiao waved his hand dismissively,

since she was someone General Manager Chen thought highly of, she must be trustworthy.

Besides, Assistant Shen was there, and the two of them lived in the same house, so what was there to worry about?

"Okay, then thank you very much, General Manager Luo."

Zhang Lan said gratefully.

She hadn't expected General Manager Luo to be so forthcoming.

"No need for thanks. We will be colleagues in the future, so let's just work hard together."

"I will work hard."

…

Mingri Group, Presidents Office.

"Tell me about the unfinished building project."

Chen Mo took a light sip of coffee and looked up at Mei Yun, who was sitting opposite him.

When he first noticed that unfinished building project last time, he had already given orders to Mei Yun, telling him to find out more about it.

He didn't know to what extent he had found out.

"General Manager Chen, I've found out just about everything."

"The area of that unfinished building is about 30,000 square meters. It was planned to be 25 stories high, but the developer ran away when it was built to the 11th floor. It has been unfinished for 3 years, and so far, no one has wanted to take it over."

"Moreover, nearly 100 apartments have already been pre-sold, with a total amount of about 70 million."

Mei Yun briefly recounted everything about the unfinished building.

This unfinished building hadn't been taken over for 3 years, and the government was also very anxious. After all, such a large piece of land was sitting empty there, and if it wasn't dealt with, it would be a very troublesome matter.

Then there were those who had pre-purchased apartments, who would also occasionally come to ask about it.

Everyone hoped that this unfinished building could have a good outcome.

So when he went over to inquire about the unfinished building, the people there very enthusiastically explained the situation and indicated that if he could take over the unfinished building, the government would also provide some policies.

Those policies were very good; there would be some subsidies in terms of funding, and some preferential treatment in terms of construction.

Over time,

as long as he took over that unfinished building, he would not encounter any external obstacles while constructing it.

Of course, the premise for all of this was that after taking it over, all construction quality must meet the standards.

Mei Yun thought for a moment and continued.

"General Manager Chen, I have done a simple calculation. It would still be too risky to take over this unfinished building."

"At present, this area in the East City definitely won't develop within 10 years. If we take over the unfinished building, there would certainly be no problem with building something, but after it's built, selling it would definitely be a major problem."

"First, this is an unfinished building, so pre-sales definitely won't work. We need sufficient construction funds."

"Also, for those 100 apartments that have already been pre-sold, since we have taken over the unfinished building, we must definitely be responsible for those 100 apartments. This means that before we have even sold any apartments, we already have to allocate nearly 100."

"And also, the development here is not good, so how should the housing prices be set? If they are the same as housing prices in other areas, I'm afraid not many people will buy here. If we say we'll lower the housing prices, we won't have much profit here."

"No matter how you calculate it, developing this unfinished building is not very cost-effective."
