344 A Different Way of Thinking

The location of the team-building event was not far from the company. It wouldn’t take long to walk there. The agreed timing was 7 o’clock, so they could set off for the restaurant then.

“Done having a look?” Chu Zhe asked with a smile when he saw Chu Ning and Gu Xin walking over hand in hand. He had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the company.

“Chu Ning is much more interesting than you. She’s not like you, who only knows how to work.” Gu Xin felt that Chu Ning was really good at chatting.

“You girls definitely have more to talk about than me.” Chu Zhe still couldn’t understand why Chu Ning had such a good impression of Gu Xin.

Of course, he didn’t think that the two of them were fated in their previous lives, even though this was what he had just told others.

“Big Brother, your industry has great prospects. New energy is a marketing outlet now. If you seize this opportunity, you will have a bright future,” Chu Ning said with emotion.

“How is it? Did it give you any inspiration or help?” Chu Zhe continued.

He did not reveal Chu Ning’s purpose for visiting the place.

Although he had a good image in the company, the truth would be difficult for people to imagine and accept, especially Gu Xin, who was standing beside Chu Ning.

Gu Xin learned from her chat with Chu Ning that she was still in her second year of high school.

Chu Ning didn’t tell Gu Xin her real purpose for coming to S City.

An 18-year-old girl, through her own efforts, owning a company that was about to rise. This was a little too outrageous.

“You’re only in your second year of high school, and you’re already organizing a social practice research. I remember that I only had this course when I was in university. Now, even education has to be so intense,” Gu Xin lamented.

That was the reason that Chu Ning had told her.

“It’s not bad. I know what to do when I get back.” Chu Ning was referring to the management and planning of the Soaring Clouds Group. However, in Gu Xin’s understanding, Chu Ning only needed to complete a task report.

On the way, Chu Zhe and Chu Ning walked at the back, while Gu Xin and her colleagues walked in front.

“What did you say to Gu Xin? She’s completely different now,” Chu Zhe said helplessly as he walked.

“I don’t believe that Big Brother doesn’t have any feelings for sister Gu Xin. She likes you very much,” Chu Ning continued.

“It’s not the time yet. We’ll talk about it when I have a career,” Chu Zhe said softly.

“Alright then. You’ll regret it when sister Gu Xin is snatched away. Love and career are not in conflict. Big Brother, you’re worth it.” Chu Ning knew what Chu Zhe was thinking, so she consoled him.

Chu Zhe didn’t reply. He looked at the cars that were moving slowly on the road, his gaze deep and profound.

“It is really tiring to talk to a smart person like Big Brother.” Chu Ning felt powerless. If Chu Zhe didn’t want to say anything, it was hard for her to guess what he was thinking.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the group arrived at the restaurant they had booked in advance.

The people who were participating in the team-building this time were from Chu Zhe’s department. Among the 60 or so people, about 40 supported Chu Zhe, while only 20 supported Shi Jun.

However, among the people who came to the restaurant that day, almost all who were on Shi Jun’s side were there. Chu Zhe didn’t seem to care about this matter. Less than half of his supporters were present. Team-building wasn’t a mandatory activity.

The former department manager was leaving the company. He had been working there for close to 20 years, but now, with the development of the times, he had no choice but to retire early. Of course, the company also gave him a very considerable compensation.

If one couldn’t keep up with the times and didn’t have enough ability, they would naturally be eliminated.

The position of the leader would only be given to those who had the ability.

Without a doubt, Chu Zhe was the best candidate, but he did not care about this. Or rather, he did not care for a mere managerial position.

So what if he was the general manager?

Chu Zhe and Chu Ning were the same type of people. They were both far-sighted but meticulous and unwilling to be controlled by others.

His minimum goal was to become someone on the same level as President Liu.

That day’s team building had another purpose, which was to bid farewell to the former branch manager. Although he was leaving the company, it was a common phenomenon in companies that prioritized profits.

President Liu favored Chu Zhe because of his ability to create huge economic benefits for the company. It was a pity that such a person would not bow down to others.
