Chapter 652: Chapter 343: The Situation Chapter 652: Chapter 343: The Situation Xu Qingyan looked at the messages on his phone, contemplating if there was any other option besides waiting for death.

HmmaEUR| so he needs to pick up three groups of people in a while?

In the past, he could ignore Shen Jinyue and Li Yang and arrange for them to go somewhere else to have fun.

Don’t come join the crowd, Brother is busy, but now he can’t.

Shen Jinyue has already sat down, no matter how Xu Qingyan verbally argues.

The moon is also one of the official girlfriends, and at the very least, proper respect and care should be given.

But arranging for the two of them is easy, just asking Zhou Mian, the handyman, to handle it.

Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou, on the other hand, one flew from the Capital and the other from Xinghai.

There’s some time difference between their flights, though now it’s the afternoon.

The good news is that there is indeed a time difference; the bad news is that it’s not long.

One arrives at seven in the evening, and the other at eleven at night.

Practically no buffer time in between, once picking up someone, he would need to go and pick up the other.

He roughly calculated as he took the keys and left his apartment, simultaneously calling Zhou Mian in the elevator.

After going around, it turns out that Zhou Mian is indeed useful.

Fortunately, Xu Qingyan didn’t give up on him while building his career, otherwise Xu Qingyan really wouldn’t know how to manage now.

“Hello?”
A rushed response came from the other end of the call, tinged with a bit of nervousness.

“Brother Xu, how’s it going?”
Usually, Zhou Mian called him Director Xu all the time, but once it came to a matter of life and deathaEUR| or when he felt it was a matter of life and death, Zhou Mian would change the way he addressed him.

If it was Director Xu, Zhou Mian could take his salary and find another job.

But calling him Brother Xu, he had to follow through to the end, although he didn’t need to bankrupt himself.

“Is there a result?” Zhou Mian asked.

“Uh…not yet, don’t rush.” Xu Qingyan said, “Right now, first help me pick someone up.

Drive to Dongzhou Airport now, and I’ll send you the details in a bit.”
“Oh, okay,” Zhou Mian responded.

After hanging up, Xu Qingyan let out a slight sigh of relief.

At certain times, for some important matters, he was used to directly ordering Zhou Mian; it wasn’t that he was particularly autocratic, but Zhou Mian had that kind of personality.

Lacking confidence, always feeling inadequate for the position.

Xu Qingyan giving direct orders meant that no matter what Zhou Mian was doing, he had to drop it.

Though he was a bachelor and didn’t have much going on, at most missing a date.

But it did make him feel a bit better, having a sense of sacrificing for the company.

When it came time to sit in his position and take his salary, he’d feel slightly more at ease.

Xu Qingyan couldn’t be bothered to correct this.

Who sits as the general manager isn’t really important, and neither is capability.

As long as it’s someone reasonably bright, whose presence isn’t crucial anywhere else.

In the entertainment industry, there’re many foolish executives in a small circle.

Relying on headhunters introducing each other, poaching, and then continuing to take on executive roles in various companies to manage projects.

No matter how Zhou Mian tossed about, at most he’d lose a few million.

But those capable executives could really ruin a company, be it through a public opinion crisis or otherwise.

In Xu Qingyan’s imagination, these industry executives are all lifetimes of rare talents, high in emotional and intelligence quotients, experienced, with unique aesthetics.

Reality is, inappropriate remarks, public opinion crises, missteps.

Directly shortening the lifespan of the company, basically not handling any people-related matters.

He likewise drove towards Dongzhou Airport, his mind alternating between thinking about company matters and how to pick up the people.

When arriving at the airport, his mind was still a bit cluttered.

Pei Muchan arrived first, and he successfully picked her up after waiting a while.

It’s almost the New Year, Pei Muchan was wearing a white down jacket, her hair slightly curly and soft.

Her calves long and straight, her face covered by a black mask, her gaze cold.

Xu Qingyan was also wearing a mask, as winter flu is prevalent.

He worked himself to the bone every day, and despite being healthy, he was afraid of falling ill and wasting time.

“Baby, why did you lose weight again?” Xu Qingyan brought out a bouquet of flowers he bought on the way; it didn’t cost much or take much time, just brought it conveniently.

“Don’t just call me anything, what baby.” Pei Muchan’s face flushed red.

She was three years older than him, and it was okay to call that privately, but in publicaEUR|
“Here, flowers.” Xu Qingyan brought out a bouquet of flowers from behind.

“Mm-hm.” Pei Muchan smiled lightly, no woman doesn’t like flowers, even mature women,”Thanks, keep your mask onaEUR|”
“Why?” Xu Qingyan felt stuffy, intending to pull it down a bit for air.

“The situation has been getting more serious recently, it’s everywhere abroad.” Pei Muchan tapped him, then stuffed the flowers into his arms and adjusted his collar for him.

“I heard from a friend that Xinghai has it now, and Dongzhou has seen some cases as well.

Safety first, bear with it a bit, we can talk more in the car.”
Truth be told, hearing that phrase about talking more in the car made Xu Qingyan inexplicably excited, suppressing his heartbeat, he said,
“Mm.”
He held Pei Muchan’s hand and walked towards the outside.

Pei Muchan held the bouquet in her arms, a shallow smile hanging on her face, the corners of her mouth unwittingly curling up.

“How’s your company doing recently?”
“Pretty good, everything is smooth, compared to other companiesaEUR| it’s like riding a rocket.” Xu Qingyan didn’t like to boast, but he never hid anything in front of Pei Muchan and Lin Wanzhou.

Humility is for the public, not for the private.

Women like to see their men confident and ambitious, even a mature lady like Pei Muchan.

After all, it’s not much different from young girls, they all fall for this.

Ambition is also a part of sexual tension, having ambition alone is arrogance.

But if backed by capability, this ambition has a clear direction, becoming a part of the attraction.
