Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 223 New Mission

Seeing Chen Li looking at him with suspicion, Lu Shaohua was helpless and could only explain the reason in detail. "Mom, do you think it would be a big news if such a big company found out that the boss was just a teenager?"

"Oh?" Chen Li was still confused.

"Haha! Mom, business is not as simple as it seems. If someone finds out my identity, it will not only be detrimental to my safety, but it may also have a great impact." Lu Shaohua did not explain so much, because even if he explained, Chen Li would not be able to understand the importance of it.

Having said that, Chen Li also understood her son's thoughts and stopped thinking about it. She said calmly, "Then go ahead. I'll look around."

His son’s company is a 30-story building. Such a tall building completely aroused Chen Li’s curiosity, and he couldn’t help but want to see what was inside.

"Oh!" Lu Shaohua responded and turned his head to talk to Liu Mingzhang and the others, asking them to take Chen Li around the company and not to leak the news that Chen Li was the mother of the group chairman. If Chen Li's identity was leaked, it would be too easy for someone with ulterior motives to find out Lu Shaohua's identity.

Lu Shaohua has been hiding in the dark all these years, and Liu Mingzhang and the others can understand that. They dare not tell anyone about it and quickly said that they would keep it a secret.

Chen Li went to visit the company, and Lu Shaohua asked Yang Yang and Li Wusheng to protect her, while he took Li Shangkui and Zhang Qingyun to the 30th floor in a secret elevator. From the time he went to the Soviet Union until now, Lu Shaohua had not returned to this luxuriously decorated and ridiculously spacious office for several months.

Sitting in the boss chair, Lu Shaohua turned around a few times before he stopped. Suddenly, he remembered something, which was the matter of the entertainment company. In the past, all aspects of movie investment had to be approved by him, but he disappeared for several months, and the entertainment company probably stopped investing.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohua made a decision. Now that he had recruited a capable person and the company was already on the right track, it was time for him to delegate power and let the people below make their own decisions.

"Hey, let's meet that manager Chen Darong later." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself. When the entertainment company was established, in addition to making money, it was also to pave the way for the future. Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Lu Shaohua should also take action. As for why he was laying the groundwork, only Liu Mingzhang knew.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye while I was in the office flipping through the company's development and achievements. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door. Li Shangkui and Zhang Qingyun stood up alertly, staring at the door, with their hands in their arms, ready to draw their guns, but when they saw the first person pushing the door in, they instantly returned to normal.

The first person to push the door open was none other than Liu Mingzhang. However, he was not the first to cross the threshold. Instead, after pushing the door open, he stepped back and let Chen Li come in first, and then followed by Li Yunqing.

Seeing that it was Chen Li and the others coming in, Lu Miaohua put down the information in his hand, stood up, and said, "Mom, how is it? Is everything okay?"

"Hmph, you little brat, you opened such a big group company and didn't even tell your family." Chen Li said in an accusatory tone, but at the same time she was accusing him she couldn't hide the proud smile on her face. Yes, she was proud, proud to have such a genius son.

When these words came out, Lu Shaohua's heart skipped a beat and he muttered secretly: "Group company? Why does my mother know this word group company?" If Chen Li had said the word "company", Lu Shaohua would not have found it strange, but adding the word "group" would have a different meaning.

The next moment, Lu Shaohua's eyes swept over Liu Mingzhang and others, and he understood everything. It turned out that it was Liu Mingzhang and others who told Chen Li. In this case, it was not surprising that Chen Li knew the title of "group company".

"Haha! Mom, let's not talk about anything else first. How do you feel?" Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

Chen Li didn't answer him, but the expression on her face already revealed the answer.

After hanging out with Chen Li for a while, Lu Shaohua asked Liu Mingzhang to go downstairs and bring up the managers of the sales company and the entertainment company. There was no other way, the door from the 29th floor to the 30th floor was locked, and only Li Yunqing and Liu Mingzhang had the key. The elevator from the first floor to the 30th floor was not available to ordinary people, so they could only go up through the door ladder.

Liu Mingzhang went down and brought people up. Lu Shaohua also said something to Chen Li and took Li Yunqing and He Chengyi to a small meeting room to wait.

Not long after, Liu Mingzhang brought two people into the small conference room. As soon as they came in, Lu Shaohua stared at them. One looked to be in his 40s or 50s, and the other looked to be only in his 30s. They could be said to be one old and one young. Lu Shaohua had read their information, so he naturally knew that the older one was Chen Darong, and the younger one was the sales manager Xu Jiarui.

Xu Jiarui is 32 years old this year. Before he joined Phoenix Group, he was a top salesperson in another company. It was his outstanding performance that caught the attention of Liu Mingzhang, who then reported him to Lu Shaohua. Faced with such a talent, Lu Shaohua of course poached him.

Facts have proved that Xu Jiarui did not bury his previous title of gold medal salesman. On the contrary, he took it to a higher level. Not only did he achieve good results, he was also good at management and kept the entire sales subsidiary in good order.

As for Chen Darong, he looked a little more vicissitudes of life, with a calm face. The first impression he gave was that he had the potential to play the villain. Facts have also proved that he really played the villain. It can be said that he would not buy anyone's account. No matter how famous the screenwriter was in Hong Kong, as long as Lu Shaohua did not approve the investment, he would not give anyone face. In three words, "no investment" and there was no room for negotiation.

Neither Xu Jiarui nor Chen Darong knew what was going on today. When Liu Mingzhang went down to call them, he only said, "Put down your work and follow me." General Manager of Phoenix Financial, Executive President of the Group, and Director of the Group's Finance Department, these three important positions were attached to Liu Mingzhang. Anyone who saw him had to give way to him.

However, when they found themselves on the 30th floor, they were both startled and looked at each other. They had never been to the 30th floor in such a long time since they joined the company. They also knew that the 30th floor was the chairman's office, so they had a question at the same time. "Are you here to see the chairman? The mysterious behind-the-scenes boss of the company?"

All kinds of thoughts came to my mind, and when I walked into the small meeting room, everything became clear.

"Let me introduce you. This is the chairman of our Phoenix Group and the mysterious boss behind the scenes as the outside world knows it, Mr. Lu." Liu Mingzhang said.

"..."

"..."

Chen Darong and Xu Jiarui were dumbfounded because the person sitting at the head of the conference room was actually a teenager, and Liu Mingzhang introduced Lu Shaohua as the person sitting there. "The teenager is the boss behind the scenes?"

"Haha, Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu, are you surprised? That's right, I am the behind-the-scenes boss of Phoenix Group." Lu Shaohua interrupted their shock and said lightly.

Instantly, both of them recovered and called out with a smile, "Hello, Boss!"

"Okay, everyone sit down. Originally, I didn't want too many people to know my identity, but as you are the management of the company, I need to meet you. But I hope you don't talk nonsense outside." Lu Shaohua said seriously.

Chen Darong and Xu Jiarui both nodded at the same time, indicating that they would keep the secret, and then pulled out chairs and sat down at the mahogany conference table.

"Well, now all the senior executives of the group are here. In addition to meeting with you, I am here to talk about the company's next steps." After speaking, Lu Shaohua looked up and glanced at everyone, and then continued, "In addition to the development of finance and real estate as I said before, there are new goals in sales."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "Mr. Xu, in addition to maintaining the current foundation, you must further expand the market. In the near future, more types of products will enter the market through the sales company."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Jiarui nodded without further ado. "But if we want to increase our efforts to expand the market, the company's current staff may not be enough!"

"If you don't have enough manpower, just recruit some. You will be fully responsible." Lu Shaohua said calmly.

"Ok."

"Well, next is the entertainment company." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused for a moment and continued, "Mr. Xu, in the past, I had to make the final decision on all aspects of movie investment. Today, I will officially give you the power. You can make your own decisions. Is that okay with you?"

Excited! Excited. Although Chen Darong is the manager of an entertainment company, many decision-making powers are not in his hands. He is the kind of person who has no real power in name only. Today, he suddenly has power, which makes him unable to react for a while.

For Chen Darong, today was a double shock. The first was meeting the mysterious boss whom he had always admired. As for why he admired him, it all started with the success of every film selected by Lu Shaohua. The second shock was having power.

"No problem." Chen Darong's face was serious. He had been in the group for several months. Whenever Lu Shaohua decided to invest in a film, he would read the script again and again. He learned a lot from the script, such as vision, plot, commercial value, and whether it would be accepted by the audience.

If many famous screenwriters can write good scripts, it is another matter to comment on whether the scripts will be popular. Maybe they feel good about themselves, but in Chen Darong's eyes, they are not necessarily good. Investment is mainly about making money, that is, whether it has commercial value. If it has no commercial value, it is useless no matter how well you write.

In this regard, Chen Darong is an expert, and he can look at a script from another perspective.

"Well, that's good, but after deciding to invest, you have to leave the title of the film like before. I will take a look at it when I have time." Although Lu Shaohua gave full authority to Chen Darong to handle it, he still wanted to see how good Chen Darong's vision was. If his vision was unique, he would be completely relieved at that time. This can also be regarded as an inspection. "Okay, that's it for this matter. Now I will tell you about your other task. This task doesn't seem to be challenging, but no matter what, I hope you can take it seriously, because this task will be very important to us in the future."

"Well, what mission do you think it is?" Chen Darong asked.
