America 1881: Legend of the West

Chen Jianqiu did not stay in New York for long.

He had to get to San Francisco.

Camilla and Xiaopengkun stayed in New York.

Xiaopengkun needs to go to school, but little Astor insists on being Xiaopengkun's godfather, either because he loves the house or for some other reason.

This is actually a very nonsense thing.

Chen Jianqiu is not a Catholic or an Orthodox Christian, and his son has not been baptized, not to mention that little Astor vouched for the baptism.

However, Chen Jianqiu did not express any objection.

After all, the world is too dangerous, and since the Astor family is willing to have a relationship with their son, he doesn't mind at all.

What's more, little Astor kept hinting to him that he wanted to set up a baby marriage.

At the headquarters of Pacific Railway Company in San Francisco, the company's management held a grand welcome ceremony for Chen Jianqiu.

Here today are not only the original management members of the Pacific Railroad, but also people from Santa Fe Railroad, Northern Pacific Railroad and other companies.

The entire building was decorated with lights and red banners to celebrate the new life of their company.

These people formed two rows on the first floor, craning their necks and staring at the intersection.

They are all waiting for Chen Jianqiu to return to his western railway empire.

During the financial crisis, everything went bad. There were a lot of layoffs, and even those who were spared from layoffs suffered significant salary cuts because of the company's poor economic conditions.

They hope that Chen Jianqiu's return will bring them more investment, and at least their salary will increase.

Also waiting there were reporters from many media outlets in San Francisco.

As soon as these people got the news that Chen Jianqiu was coming, they gathered around early to see if they could get any useful information.

"I'm coming."

Suddenly someone with sharp eyes in the crowd shouted.

A carriage turned out from the end of the street.

Behind him, there were several carriages.

These carriages come from the station.

When Chen Jianqiu was still in control of the Pacific Railroad before the crisis, his trip in San Francisco was never arranged by anyone from the railroad.

Usually Hanif and the Border Detective Agency are in charge.

The carriage stopped at the door of the building, and Chen Jianqiu got out of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, a group of formally dressed people with serious faces walked out of the carriage behind. They all held briefcases in their hands and followed Chen Jianqiu.

Pacific Railway's general manager Cox and deputy general manager Yule greeted him.

Both of them were "former important ministers" during the time of Hopkins Jr., and they were very worried at this time.

But Chen Jianqiu didn't seem to pay attention to them.

He just glanced at the welcome banner without even stopping.

"Everyone gather in the conference room, don't hang around here!" Li Sifu waved to the crowd and greeted, "Brothers from the media, come too."

Cox and Yule were stunned.

They looked at each other and followed him upstairs angrily.

The conference room has been prepared in advance.

On the table were paper, pens, and a small pure copper ornament from the Pacific Railroad Company.

Chen Jianqiu sat down.

He waved his hands to the people following behind him, gesturing for them to sit down to his left and right.

This turned out to be Cox and Yule's position.

The two of them looked very embarrassed and at a loss at this time.

"Um, Mr. Chen, where should we sit?" Cox hesitated and asked.

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the two positions in the back row:

"You guys sit there."

At this time, the conference room was full of people, and everyone was looking for their place. When they heard Chen Jianqiu's words, they all looked over.

Cox blushed.

This is a great humiliation.

He exploded.

"You can't do this to me! Chen Jianqiu! It was with the support of Yule and I that the Pacific Railway survived the crisis and avoided bankruptcy! You are going too far! It will chill everyone! I want to resign!"

"I'll resign too!" Yule echoed behind.

There was a sudden silence in the conference room.

Especially those friends from the media. They dare not speak, but they are extremely excited, and their little eyes are shining with gossip.

Is this just a show of authority?

They were looking forward to how Chen Jianqiu would handle this matter.

Chen Jianqiu leaned on the chair with a smile on his lips.

He tilted his head and looked at the blushing and thick-necked Coxes, and said slowly:

"Okay, double happiness comes to your door, but you have to keep your word."

Cox and Yule were stunned.

They didn't actually intend to resign, they just wanted their boss to give them the respect they deserved. Unexpectedly, Chen Jianqiu didn't follow the routine and directly agreed to their resignation.

Why don't you try to save it?

Before Cox could react, Yule spoke first:

"Um, Boss Chen, what Cox meant just now is..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jianqiu had already waved his hand to silence him.

He now has a headache when he sees these two sleeping dragons and phoenixes.

Although he left the Pacific Railroad Company, he has maintained an interest in the company through Hanif in recent years.

At least half of Hopkins' bad idea had to do with these two people.

"Since you are no longer from Pacific Railway, nor are you friends from the media, it would be inappropriate to stay in this conference room any longer." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the door behind him with his thumb, "Both of you, Take it easy and settle the rest of your salary with the finance department yourself."

Yule was disgraced and planned to walk out, but Cox had no intention of leaving.

He gave up his upbringing and manners as a gentleman and began to act recklessly:

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just staying in this conference room. I want to hear what you have to say."

Cox stayed on the edge of the table, showing no intention of moving.

Chen Jianqiu raised his fingers at Li Sifu:

"Get out!"

Li Sifu winked at the person outside the door.

Two tall detectives in black clothes quickly walked into the conference room.

They came to Cox's side, standing on the left and right sides, one on each side, and held the former general manager in the air.

Cox's little short legs hung in the air kicking the air.

The two detectives quickly carried the cursing former general manager out.

The door to the conference room was closed.

The management and middle-level staff of several railway companies in the conference room did not dare to express their anger.

They wondered if it would be their turn next.

But Chen Jianqiu's next words reassured them.

"Except for the two guys just now, the positions and salaries of everyone else remain unchanged for the time being. Subsequent salary adjustments will depend on the specific situation of reorganization and integration."
