Chapter 621: Chapter 407: Interview
After a quick tour of the office, Feng Mountain looked around and was about to walk toward the sofa.
But Zhang Kai stopped him halfway, reaching out an arm and asking in confusion, "Where are you going?"
Feng Mountain looked completely lost. He didn’t understand why Zhang Kai had suddenly stopped him and replied matter-of-factly, "To sit on the sofa!"
’Are there special rules for sitting on the sofa now?’ he grumbled to himself.
Zhang Kai rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What sofa? Go sit over there. That’s your seat."
As he spoke, he pointed to the impressive boss’s chair behind the large desk.
Now Feng Mountain was even more confused, his face a picture of bewilderment. "Wait, what’s going on?"
’I just came to check out the company. How did I suddenly get assigned to the boss’s chair? This is so weird.’
Zhang Kai slapped his forehead, a look of complete defeat on his face as he said resignedly,
"You have the nerve to ask? Have you forgotten? I registered this company for you. You’re the big boss here, okay? I just come over to check on things when I have time. Vice President Ouyang manages it most of the time."
Hearing this, Feng Mountain froze for a moment, trying to search his memory for any related fragments.
He finally recalled that he had indeed discussed this with Zhang Kai during a phone call once.
At the time, they had just talked about collaborating on a domestic travel agency to make it easier to process tour fees through a company account.
But he never imagined the travel agency would actually end up being his.
Seeing Feng Mountain’s blank expression, Zhang Kai instantly understood.
’This guy must have completely forgotten everything about the company.’
He couldn’t help but say with a wry smile, "You’re really something else. There are millions sitting in the company, and you don’t care one bit."
"I thought you were keeping an eye on it, so I didn’t pay any attention." Feng Mountain scratched his head sheepishly, an embarrassed look on his face.
Zhang Kai walked to the desk, picked up a document, and placed it in front of Feng Mountain, looking utterly speechless.
"The last tour group had 56 people. The fee was 20,000 US dollars per person, for a total of 1.12 million US dollars. I took a 30% service fee, and the remaining 784,000 US dollars, which is about 5.33 million at the current exchange rate, has all been deposited into the company account. As for what to do with it, wait for Vice President Ouyang to arrive and talk to her yourself."
Hearing Brother Kai mention Vice President Ouyang several times, Feng Mountain grew even more vacant, as he had no memory of the company having such a vice president.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," Zhang Kai called out.
The next moment, the office door slowly swung open with a soft sound.
A woman walked in from outside, holding a folder, her steps light and confident.
She looked to be around thirty years old, with a pair of glasses perched on her nose that gave her an intellectual air.
Her features were delicate and beautiful, yet tinged with a faint, cold arrogance, as if she kept everyone at arm’s length.
She wore a light gray, slim-fit suit, perfectly tailored to accentuate the curves of her figure.
On her feet was a pair of silver-white high heels, each step making a crisp sound that echoed in the office.
The woman entered the office, first giving a slight nod to Zhang Kai and explaining softly, "President Zhang, my apologies. I was in the middle of discussing tour routes with another travel agency when I got the call."
Her voice was cool yet pleasant, like a clear mountain spring flowing through the office.
"No worries. This is the man behind Crown Leader Travel Agency, Feng Mountain." Zhang Kai waved his hand, smiling as he introduced them. "Brother Feng, this is Vice President Ouyang Xue. She’s the one who really puts in the work at the agency. She used to be the Vice President of Marketing at a national travel agency chain, but I poached her after... certain things happened."
As Zhang Kai made the introduction, he pointed a finger toward Ouyang Xue, a look of admiration on his face.
"Hello, Vice President Ouyang." Seeing this, Feng Mountain quickly stood up with a friendly smile, extending his hand as a sign of respect for the vice president.
However, Ouyang Xue did not immediately reach out to shake it.
Slightly lifting her chin, she first looked Feng Mountain up and down.
’The man before me has his hair in a short braid, and his clothes aren’t from any luxury brand, just ordinary ones.’
’In my experience, successful people are usually dressed in suits and ties, their every action and word revealing an extraordinary air. But this Feng Mountain in front of me... I really can’t see any of that successful leader’s charisma in him.’
’It’s even harder to connect him with the identity of the boss of Crown Leader Travel Agency, a company with so much potential.’
A flicker of doubt, almost imperceptible, passed through Ouyang Xue’s eyes.
But the professional composure she had cultivated over many years in the workplace quickly returned.
She gave a slight nod, acknowledging him, but didn’t take Feng Mountain’s outstretched hand. Instead, she spoke in a flat tone, devoid of much emotion.
"President Feng, a pleasure."
Feng Mountain’s hand paused in mid-air. He was slightly embarrassed but quickly retracted it, his smile remaining on his face as if he didn’t mind Ouyang Xue’s attitude.
"Vice President Ouyang, I’ll be relying on you for the company’s affairs from now on."
"Vice President Ouyang, do you think Feng Mountain doesn’t look like a boss?" Zhang Kai noticed the flicker of doubt in her eyes and spoke with a relaxed smile. "The first time I met him, I also never imagined he owned such a huge piece of land. As a boss, he’s completely unqualified, but as a friend, he’s a great guy. With him, you won’t run into the kind of things that happened at your last company."
Zhang Kai’s voice was unhurried, carrying a sense of certainty, as if he was assuring Ouyang Xue of something.
At the mention of what happened at her last company.
