The latest chapter of "《" has been updated. Come and follow the updates on Cola Novels!
With less than ten days until the 2005 Spring Festival, three uninvited guests arrived at the Guangda Real Estate Building in Pudong.
They arrived at the reception desk in the lobby on the first floor, where a very elegantly dressed receptionist politely asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for Huang Xiaochuan," the shorter of the three said politely to the receptionist.
"What is your surname, sir? Do you have an appointment?"
"His surname is An!"
At this moment, another receptionist quickly checked today's appointment records on the computer. After finding the results, she gently shook her head at her colleague, indicating that there were no appointments for these three people.
At this moment, An Cheng said, "We didn't make an appointment. Could you please call and let them know that An Cheng is here to see him?"
The receptionist said politely, "Mr. An! I'm sorry, please leave if you don't have an appointment. Mr. Huang is very busy. Please make an appointment in advance next time."
At this moment, Ma Yifeng stepped forward: "Um, Gao Song, is Assistant Gao here? We can talk to him too!"
Actually, the three of them wanted to contact Huang Xiaochuan in advance, but Huang Xiaochuan happened to be in a meeting and his phone was switched off, so they couldn't reach him.
"I'm sorry, Minister Gao is very busy! You can leave your contact information, and Minister Gao will contact you later." The receptionist maintained a humble yet unyielding attitude.
Ma Yifeng looked puzzled: "Gao Song got promoted? He's a minister now?"
The receptionist smiled and explained to Ma Yifeng, "Minister Gao is now the Deputy Minister of the Administration Department at our headquarters."
"Fine, fine, I'll call Gao Song again!" Seeing that the receptionist wouldn't budge, Ma Yifeng had no choice but to take out his phone from his pocket and dial Gao Song's number to see if he could get in touch with him.
Thankfully, the call went through this time.
A few minutes later, Gao Song hurriedly came downstairs.
Countless people saw him along the way and greeted him respectfully.
"Minister Gao!"
"Hello, Mr. Gao!"
"Hello, Minister Gao!"
Because everyone knew that in this building, besides the person on the top floor, the next person was Minister Gao. Although his position wasn't high, he wielded considerable power! Therefore, they treated Gao Song with utmost respect.
The three receptionists knew that these three men were no ordinary people, since they were summoned down by the boss's boss with just one phone call.
The three of them stood up and respectfully greeted Gao Song, who had jogged over, "Hello, Minister Gao!"
Before Gao Song even reached the three of them, he smiled and extended his hand.
"Professor Ma, General Manager An, General Manager Jiao, hello!"
After shaking hands with Ma Yifeng, An Cheng, and Jiao Zhiyong, Gao Song explained the situation to them: "Mr. Huang was in a meeting this morning and left his phone in his office. My phone was on silent, so look at the mess this has made."
Ma Yifeng laughed and said, "It's nothing, I know you're all busy."
At this moment, Gao Song made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in, gentlemen. Mr. Huang already knows you've arrived and specifically asked me to come and pick you up."
The morning meeting focused on Zhang Sui's return to China to report to Huang Xiaochuan on the previous year's annual work report of "Changhong Capital". Because there were too many investment projects involved, the meeting took up the entire morning.
Just as Ma Yifeng and the others were taking the elevator upstairs with Gao Song, Huang Xiaochuan was talking to Zhang Sui: "I know you worked hard last year. Don't rush back yet. I'll give you twenty days off so you can go home and spend the New Year with your family."
Zhang Sui then responded with a smile, "Then I'll thank the boss on behalf of my parents."
Huang Xiaochuan then inquired about Zhang Sui's personal life: "You're not getting any younger, it's time to think about your personal life."
Before Zhang Sui could reply, Gao Song led Ma Yifeng, Jiao Zhiyong, and An Cheng into the office.
Huang Xiaochuan had no choice but to end the conversation.
Zhang Sui also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan: "Boss! You have guests, so I'll be leaving now."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded and said to Gao Song, "See General Manager Zhang off for me!"
"Okay!" Gao Song replied with a smile, gesturing to Zhang Sui, "President Zhang, please!"
At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan smiled and shook hands with Ma Yifeng, An Cheng, and Jiao Zhiyong, asking, "Why did the three of you decide to come see me?"
Ma Yifeng clicked his tongue and said, "It's so difficult to see you now. The receptionist on the first floor can stop us."
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and gestured for the three to sit down: "There's no other way. Every place needs order and rules, otherwise it'll be chaotic. What would you like to drink?"
Although Ma Yifeng and the other two nodded in understanding, they didn't stand on ceremony with Huang Xiaochuan: "Of course it's tea. Everyone knows you have the best tea here."
An Cheng and Jiao Zhiyong echoed Ma Yifeng's opinion: "Yes, yes, Lao Ma is right, it has to be tea!"
Huang Xiaochuan pressed the intercom button and arranged for someone to make tea and bring it to his office.
Huang Xiaochuan sat down opposite the three of them: "So, tell me, what made you decide to come see me?"
Ma Yifeng was busy drinking tea and didn't have time to speak. He pointed at An Cheng, meaning that he wanted An Cheng to speak.
"I've brought you money." An Cheng stated his purpose directly, taking a document out of his bag and handing it to Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan took the book and flipped through a few pages, lingering on the last page for a few more seconds before laughing, "You guys are doing a great job! Such high profits!"
This is a shareholder dividend confirmation form. The financial statements clearly show the annual turnover and gross profit for last year. Finally, the dividend amount is based on the proportion of investment. Once Huang Xiaochuan signs and confirms, this dividend of tens of millions will be transferred to Huang Xiaochuan's private account after deducting taxes. Huang Xiaochuan only invested a few hundred thousand in total, so the return is quite good.
There are actually many legitimate ways to avoid taxes, but Huang Xiaochuan didn't do that. Of course, the money was transferred to his personal account. As for his several group companies, they followed industry rules. Legitimate tax avoidance is also a common practice in company operations.
After reading it, Huang Xiaochuan got up and walked to his desk, took a pen from the pen holder, signed his name on the last page of the document, and then handed the document to An Cheng.
He then asked Ma Yifeng, "Is your Sang Weihong about to give birth?"
Sang Weihong's pregnancy was hard-won. The couple had been unable to conceive for several years. Ma Yifeng insisted that there was nothing wrong with him, but he refused to go to the hospital for a proper check-up. Later, on Huang Xiaochuan's advice, he went to the hospital, and it turned out that he had the problem.
During that time, Ma Yifeng was listless, but fortunately Sang Weihong kept encouraging him. With Yu Xiang's help, they contacted a famous doctor, and after treatment, Sang Weihong finally became pregnant. So, this child of theirs was hard-won.
Ma Yifeng said happily, "It'll be soon, the due date is the 17th of next month."
Then, with a smug look on his face, he said, "Look how sensible my baby is. He even knows to let his parents have a peaceful New Year. If he had been born before the New Year, there would have been a lot more trouble."
Huang Xiaochuan was amused by this guy: "What a pain! Hospitals don't close during the Chinese New Year. Do you think I have to pick a time for postpartum confinement?!"
At this moment, Jiao Zhiyong teased Ma Yifeng, saying, "This guy is a first-time father, he has no experience, but he'll get used to it after a few more times!"
Jiao Zhiyong's words were clearly a joke at Ma Yifeng, and all three of them except Ma Yifeng burst into laughter.
"Hahaha"
Ma Yifeng didn't laugh; instead, he looked regretful. "I wish I could! Unfortunately, the one-child policy prevents me from having that opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Zhiyong gasped, "Wow, you really dare to think that way!"
The four hadn't seen each other for a while, so they sat together and chatted for quite some time. However, they were constantly interrupted because Huang Xiaochuan either had to sign documents or answer phone calls. So Ma Yifeng and the other two felt embarrassed to stay any longer and got up to say goodbye to Huang Xiaochuan and leave.
Huang Xiaochuan originally wanted to keep them a little longer so they could have lunch together, but after thinking about it, he said to the three of them, "Then I won't keep you for lunch. Tonight I'll treat you to dinner at my brother-in-law's restaurant, and we can all sit down and have a drink."
Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion was met with approval from the other three, and the four of them made a date for the evening.
