misfortune
However, Yang Dahai suppressed the worry in his heart and said nothing.
After all, he was currently on duty, so it was impossible for him to attend to his private matters.
Although Chen Mo had a very good temper and wouldn't say anything even if he spoke a few words to his daughter, he would not do that.
Since he was the President's personal driver, he had to look and act like a personal driver.
He could not become arrogant just because Chen Mo treated him well.
Therefore, even though he saw his daughter walking with a limp, he still sat calmly in the driver's seat.
Moreover, he knew that his daughter's condition was not a big problem. It was just muscle soreness caused by sudden exercise.
Young people nowadays had such poor physical fitness; back in his day, he could run around the mountains all day and never end up like this.
Now, it was just one day of intensive training, and she had been exercised to this state; she was simply too weak.
Chen Mo certainly had his reasons for doing this; with employees having such poor physical fitness, they definitely needed more exercise. Yang Dahai thought to himself.
In the car, Chen Mo watched the four figures slowly approaching and lowered the window. "Get in!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Rou, Yang Yaoyao, and Liu Weiwei were stunned; the President of the Group actually wanted to give them a ride to the company.
Afterward, Shen Rou was the first to recover and hurriedly waved her hand. "No need, President Chen, we can just take the subway to the company."
"Yes, President Chen, just go about your business." Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei also hurriedly chimed in.
Living in the Complex for a while now, they had met President Chen a few times and were somewhat familiar with him. However, President Chen was, after all, the President of the Mingri Group. Getting too close wouldn't look good.
"Get in the car if I tell you to. You're already leaning on each other to walk; who knows how long it will take to get to the subway station." Chen Mo frowned as he looked at Shen Rou and the others. He realized that as a President, his words carried no weight at all.
"Okay, President Chen." Sensing a change in his tone, Shen Rou and the others nodded one after another, then opened the doors and got in.
"Sister Lan, you should go back now. Thank you." Yang Yaoyao and Liu Weiwei looked at Zhang Lan with gratitude.
When they woke up this morning, they found that their body aches were even worse than last night, and even walking was difficult. There was no other way, so they had to ask Shen Rou and Zhang Lan to come and help.
"Hmm!" Zhang Lan watched them all get into the car, greeted President Chen, and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Yang Dahai started the vehicle and drove straight toward the Mingri Group.
Inside the car, there was silence. Chen Mo looked out the window and suddenly thought about those songs of his. Wasn't Zhang Lan currently working in music?
He had heard from Shen Rou before that a song from Zhang Lan's studio had become a hit. He wondered how things were going now. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Shen Rou.
"How is Zhang Lan's music studio doing?"
"Ah!" Shen Rou was taken aback, but quickly recovered and hurriedly spoke. "President Chen, there has been a change at the music studio."
"Oh? What happened?" Hearing this, Chen Mo became a little interested.
"It's like this…" Shen Rou explained the situation with the music studio, but she did not mention the matter of inviting Zhang Lan to join Lanpian Film and Television.
For one thing, Zhang Lan had not yet decided whether to join Lanpian Film and Television, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to say anything just yet.
Furthermore, recruiting Zhang Lan was ultimately a matter for Lanpian Film and Television. The normal reporting procedure was for managers of each company to report to her, or for important matters to be reported directly to President Chen.
But for her to bypass Luo Xiao and report directly to President Chen was clearly not appropriate. If things went wrong, it would make Luo Xiao uncomfortable and would be detrimental to company unity.
Of course, if a company were involved in some incident, she naturally wouldn't consider these things.
Chen Mo listened to Shen Rou's words and fell into deep thought. He currently had 11 songs in his hands. Previously, because of the settlement, he had been spending money or on the way to spending money. Now that the settlement was over, it was time to deal with these 11 songs.
Based on Shen Rou's description, Zhang Lan's singing skills were at least not a problem. It would be perfectly fine if he handed the songs over to Zhang Lan. Besides, she lived in the same Complex as him and was also a classmate of Shen Rou. This would also make it easier for him to stay informed about the situation.
However, giving them to Zhang Lan in person was definitely out of the question. After all, given the friendship between Zhang Lan and Shen Rou, if she knew that he was the one who provided the songs, who knew what Zhang Lan might do.
Some ordinary expressions of gratitude were acceptable, but what he worried about most was that after Zhang Lan became famous because of the songs, she would help promote his other companies. After all, the celebrity effect could not be ignored.
He currently had many industries and affairs that could not be brought into the open. For example: the Changfeng Garment Factory, which had always lacked fame and was silently losing money.
And there was Nanhe Coffee, which was almost ruined. He had checked the current revenue situation of Nanhe Coffee, and it was basically able to break even.
If it were really promoted by some celebrity again, it would truly turn a profit.
Although even if Nanhe Coffee were to turn a profit now, he could just invest all the revenue back into opening new Nanhe Coffee locations.
But this would undoubtedly accelerate the speed of opening new stores. If one day Nanhe Coffee expanded to a state of global saturation, then Nanhe Coffee would truly be uncontrollable. It would become an incredibly terrifying money-making machine.
This was not what he wanted to see, so if he could slow down the development speed of Nanhe Coffee as much as possible, he would try his best to do so.
After careful consideration, Chen Mo finally made a decision: the songs could be given to Zhang Lan, but not openly. This way, he could ensure that even if Zhang Lan became famous because of his songs, she wouldn't know he was the one who provided them, nor would she think about helping him promote anything.
Not long after, the vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the building. "We have arrived, President Chen." Yang Dahai carefully opened the car door and said respectfully.
"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded, got out of the car, and walked straight toward the building. He had to settle the matter of the songs as soon as possible; he couldn't keep dragging it out.
"Hello, President Chen!" "Hello, President Chen!" "…" Entering the elevator, greetings were heard one after another.
"Hmm, good morning!" Chen Mo nodded and replied. Looking at these people's attire, they were basically all employees of the Group. However, as the Group grew larger and larger and had more and more employees, there were very few of these people he actually recognized.
But this couldn't help but make him think of a question. That was, when he rented these 10 floors of office space on the top floor, the manager of the office building had clearly stated that no company in these 10 top-floor office spaces could last for half a year. But since he rented this office space, more than 8 months had already passed. Far from failing to last, it had instead grown increasingly stronger. This made no sense!
