698 -316: Crossing New Year’s Eve with Tao Tian
Zhao Jun just said with a flush of excitement outside that Zhu Hong was looking for Zhou Yuwen to talk about an acquisition, and that Zhou should remember him once he makes his fortune.
However, during this meeting with Zhu Hong, she did not bring up the subject of an acquisition at all.
She merely mentioned that she was assigned by the headquarters to expand the business in Jinling and had heard Peter saying that Young President Zhou also owns a takeout company, so she specifically wanted to meet with him and learn from his experience.
Zhou Yuwen is too young, and this is the first time Zhu Hong has had to deal with an 18-year-old boy in business.
Calling him President Zhou always felt awkward.
And she didn’t know what else to call him.
After pondering for a while, she finally called him Young President Zhou.
This was the first time someone addressed Zhou Yuwen that way, and it didn’t feel too bad.
Zhou Yuwen said, “What could I possibly teach?
It’s just child’s play.”
Zhu Hong, hearing this, said he was being modest.
At this point, Zhu Hong proactively raised her glass to toast Zhou Yuwen, as an apology.
Zhou Yuwen was puzzled.
Zhu Hong explained that she had indeed intended to find a proper occasion to get to know Young President Zhou.
“But if I had known you were coming from somewhere else, as Peter told me, I would never have made such an excessive request on New Year’s,” she said.
She needed to clarify this to avoid any misunderstanding that might affect future negotiations.
In this regard, one really can’t blame Zhu Hong.
Before coming, Zhu Hong had done a simple background check on Zhou Yuwen.
She knew that not only did he own a takeout company, but he also had a cultural company and a labor company.
And his labor company was in business with one of her old classmates.
So Zhu Hong thought of getting some information about Zhou Yuwen through this old classmate first.
But as soon as Gao Peter heard that his old classmate was coming over, he immediately took full charge, flaunting his connections, and said that Zhou Yuwen would be attending the company’s New Year’s party.
“Just come over at that time,” he said.
Honestly, if it hadn’t been for Gao Peter saying so, Zhu Hong would never have considered attending another company’s New Year’s party on New Year’s Eve.
But when she arrived, she realized that Zhou Yuwen wasn’t there at all.
Instead, Zhu Hong had unwittingly made a showy entrance for Gao Peter.
Wherever Gao Peter went, he introduced her as his old classmate and said she would be developing her business in Jinling from now on, so everyone should take good care of her.
Seeing this, other classmates naturally paid more attention to Gao Peter, especially when he brought such a beautiful woman with him.
Overall, Gao Peter had his own ulterior motives for this meeting.
Zhu Hong could see through it, but since she was already there and Gao Peter insisted convincingly that Young Zhou was just too busy and would arrive soon, she couldn’t just turn around and leave.
Which led to this encounter.
Zhou Yuwen shook his head and said, “There’s no need to apologize, I did have things to take care of, and I came as soon as I was done.”
Zhu Hong nodded and smiled, saying, “Today isn’t the formal occasion.
When everyone is available, I’ll host a meal especially for all of you.”
Gao Peter said, “Since President Zhu has spoken, we’ll definitely be there, right, Young Zhou?”
Zhou Yuwen did not respond, leaving Gao Peter slightly hanging.
The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.
Zhu Hong, who was quite adept socially, immediately shifted the topic upon sensing the cooling mood: “Young President Zhou, are you mainly engaged in HR work now?”
Zhou Yuwen shook his head: “Not really HR, just helping classmates find part-time jobs.”
Zhu Hong nodded, mentioning she had just discussed this with President Gao.
“President Gao told me that even the security guards outside and the students who performed earlier were arranged by your company.
I was quite surprised.
I think you could delve deeper into the labor business, Young President Zhou,” she said.
At that moment, having already shared a toast with Zhou Yuwen, he initiated a toast and said, “Sister Zhu, there’s no need to be so formal, you can just call me Young Zhou.”
Zhu Zhu chuckled at this and, holding her glass, said, “Well, since you’re already calling me Sister Zhu, I won’t stand on ceremony either.
I’ll call you Yuwen; it feels more amicable.”
Zhou Yuwen nodded, clinked glasses with Zhu Hong, and asked what she meant by ‘going deeper.’
Zhu Hong explained that indeed, labor is essentially HR and she believed Yuwen had established a solid foundation.
“You could use this as a starting point to branch out into HR and headhunting.
Look, you’re still a student with access to a wealth of student resources.
You could identify the capable and potential students in school and, during their internships, directly channel them into enterprises.
This could not only inject fresh talent into big companies but also earn you a substantial profit.
It’s a win-win situation,” she said.
Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment and replied, “I hadn’t thought that far ahead before.”
“Well, now you can consider it.
If you’re willing, I can be your first client,” Zhu Hong offered.
Zhou Yuwen didn’t understand.
Zhu Hong explained, “I’m appointed by the headquarters to break into the Jinling market, but as of now, I’m like a lone commando here, and the establishment of the Jinling branch still hasn’t taken shape.
If possible, Yuwen, could you recommend to me a few exceptional recent graduates?”
Zhu Hong said this with a sincere smile while keeping her eyes on Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen mentioned that he had never worked in this area and had no knowledge of it, but if Sister Zhu truly needed help, he could ask around.
“Because many senior students will indeed be interning next semester.
If you’re looking to hire, Sister Zhu, you can tell me your requirements, and I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
