Chapter 99: Chapter 98: First Executive Meeting
Until the car was unloaded, people around finally saw its complete appearance.
"What car is this? A Ferrari?"
A girl who didn’t know much about cars asked her boyfriend next to her.
Her boyfriend probably wasn’t familiar with supercars either, hesitated for a moment, then said, "It’s not a Ferrari, it’s a Lamborghini, but I don’t know what model exactly.
Anyway, it’s definitely something I’ll never be able to afford in my lifetime."
"Who says that? Maybe you’ll hit the jackpot! Don’t you buy five lottery tickets worth 10 RMB every day? If you win, you’ll get over 20 million! Then you can buy one too!"
It seemed like this couple had a good relationship, as the girl encouraged the boy with a smile.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from nearby.
"Holy crap!"
All the onlookers turned to the source of the sound.
The person, looking at a picture on their phone, carefully compared it and, after confirming, continued, "This is a Lamborghini Poison, limited to 4 in the world, one costs around 100 million RMB."
Although "Poison" has since increased to 15 units, both hardtop and convertible, most people who aren’t specifically informed still think there are only 4.
Hearing this, the crowd began to murmur quietly.
The girl from the couple before, with a wry smile, said, "Seems like even hitting the jackpot won’t be enough to buy it."
After saying that, the two exchanged a glance and smiled, and the boy gently pulled her into his arms.
Such love...
is worthy of blessings, isn’t it?
The driver surnamed Chen walked over to Gu Bai with a document.
"Mr. Gu, you just need to sign on this confirmation statement to drive the car away."
Gu Bai took the document and signed his name directly.
The driver sighed with relief upon seeing this. The bonus for this transport was more than ten times before, but so was the anxiety. Now he could finally retire with honor.
Gu Bai opened the driver’s door and sat inside, while Deng Bo quickly sat on the passenger side.
As soon as he got in, Deng Bo looked around until he saw the tech-savvy dashboard and couldn’t help but sigh, "Though I don’t feel much difference between this car and the previous Night Shadow, it must be psychological since just the price makes it seem several times more luxurious."
Gu Bai chuckled freely.
"Don’t worry about the price, let’s go, I’ll take you for a spin."
With that, he stepped on the gas, and the Poison became a black lightning, driving away from Shanghai Theatre Academy on the opposite side of the crowd.
The surrounding onlookers, seeing the owner leave, dispersed one after another.
Only the students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy began posting on the forum.
Accompanied by the photos just taken.
"Shocking! Sophomore director Gu Bai got a new car again! And it’s the legendary..."
As soon as the post went up, it was followed by criticisms.
"Damn it, I suggest the admin permanently bans the poster. I thought I entered the UC shock department when opening the forum."
"Sophomore Gu Bai? The one who drove a Lamborghini and then a Porsche 918? Changed cars again?"
On the third floor, the poster directly posted the domestic price of the "Poison," close to 100 million RMB.
The following posts were all exclamations like "Holy crap!" "Awesome!" and such, so there’s no need to elaborate.
Unaware that he had stirred up the Shanghai Theatre Academy again, Gu Bai drove Deng Bo around, then dropped him back at the academy and drove his new car to the Hu Shang Center Building.
After parking in the spot belonging to their company’s floor, Gu Bai had just walked into the building’s entrance when a dozen people hurriedly approached.
"President Gu!"
The group greeted Gu Bai in unison.
Gu Bai glanced at them, then looked at the leader, Mr. Shao, "Why is everyone here? Black Society?"
Saying that, he directly headed towards the elevator.
Mr. Shao, seeing Gu Bai’s demeanor, knew he didn’t like such a scene and didn’t explain, just followed him.
These people were recruited later into the company, and many of them didn’t recognize Gu Bai, with Shao just intending to introduce them to the company boss.
The elevator soon descended, and Gu Bai walked in, with Mr. Shao quickly following.
As for the others, they stayed put, waiting for the next elevator.
"How’s the company doing recently?"
In the elevator, Gu Bai played with his phone and asked Mr. Shao without looking up.
"Currently, the basic framework for each department is constructed, waiting for your arrangement for director-level roles, President Gu."
Mr. Shao briefly introduced Black Swan Capital’s current situation.
Gu Bai, hearing this, nodded in satisfaction.
In just about ten days, constructing the basic structure made his near-million recruitment firm commission worthwhile, and he didn’t mind offending major investment banks to headhunt people.
A moment later, the elevator stopped on the 55th floor.
Gu Bai walked out straight, with Shao following closely.
Upon reaching the reception desk, the two receptionists immediately stood up to greet.
"Hello, President Gu."
"Hello, President Shao."
Then, one receptionist picked up the appointment book and said to Gu Bai, "President Gu, a person named Shan Fengling came this morning, said she’s the general manager from ’Huafeng Dimension,’ here on your invitation, but you weren’t around, so I had her wait."
"Shan Fengling?"
"Yes."
"Where is she?"
"In the lounge, I’ll go get her."
Saying that, the receptionist quickly headed to the lounge.
Gu Bai didn’t stop her.
He had just mentioned casually last night, not expecting Shan Fengling to really come, and since she arrived in the morning, it was now afternoon. By this look, she must have been waiting for several hours.
A moment later, the receptionist returned with Shan Fengling.
The Shan Fengling in front had changed into formal wear, her short black hair looked clean-cut, suggesting last night’s blue hair was a wig, and her looks rated at 92 paired with business attire was quite eye-catching.
Standing in front of Gu Bai, Shan Fengling smiled, "I thought President Gu wouldn’t be at the office today."
Gu Bai rarely apologized to her, "My fault, I didn’t mention the time yesterday, sorry for wasting President Shan’s time."
"Didn’t waste it at all, it’s rewarding to visit President Gu’s company."
Gu Bai didn’t plan to continue with pleasantries.
"In that case, please wait a bit more, we’re about to have an internal management meeting, and I’ll discuss ’Huafeng Dimension’s issue with you afterward."
"Okay."
Having waited all morning, she certainly didn’t mind waiting a bit longer.
Gu Bai smiled at her and nodded, then turned around, his smile disappearing, and instructed Mr. Shao, "In 5 minutes, all executives and management reserves gather in the meeting room. Anyone late or absent will have their monthly bonus deducted."
Saying that, he strode towards the company meeting room.
This meeting had been notified since Gu Bai was in Europe, and it’s the company’s first high-level meeting. If someone dared not to come, it meant they had no regard for him as the boss.
However, with the company still in its early stages, these people were personally recruited by him at great cost, and he couldn’t afford to fire them for being a few minutes late, as for him, each one was money.
Shan Fengling watched Gu Bai’s decisive figure with a hint of envy. You should know their website, including tech staff, had fewer than 10 people, and they usually interacted like friends.
