Chapter 895: Deputy Director of Operations — Song Yuwei’s Promotion (Part 2)

“Really?”

Huang Panpan’s eyes lit up.

“Of course it’s true. When did your dad and I ever lie to you?”

Li Juan said lovingly, “Since you have some free time, let’s go pick one out this afternoon and buy it in these few days before you leave school. Let’s get a place in a good location, a bit bigger. Money is not an issue!”

“Mom and Dad, I love you!”

The young sister was overjoyed.

Huang Hongbo and Li Juan exchanged a smile, seeing the relief in each other’s eyes.

They couldn’t remember how long it had been since they last heard “I love you” from their daughter; you would have to go back to when her grandmother was still alive.

The relationship with their daughter had really been fully repaired!

This time, Huang Hongbo and Li Juan left their business behind and stayed in Lin’an for a few days. Besides taking graduation photos and attending the graduation ceremony with their little princess, they also went house hunting.

Although buying a house in the provincial capital is not hard, it’s not a small matter either. The two elders and Huang Panpan visited several real estate projects. Since they were in the real estate business in Jianglan, they were naturally very skilled at selecting houses.

They considered quality, location, landscaping, convenience in transport, and living amenities. Of course, the most important thing was that their precious daughter liked it; they only provided reference suggestions.

In the end, Huang Panpan favored a new development located in the Upper City District but bordering the Binjiang District, called Phoenix Square.

It’s a major development by a well-known developer, absolutely reliable, with no worries about absconding or disputes. It’s in a prime location featuring Mediterranean-style gardens, considerable building spacing, low plot ratio, and nearby is a large commercial center, new square, hospital, schools, bank, and a bus stop right outside. Also, it’s not far from New Era’s headquarters in Binjiang, just three kilometers in a straight line, five bus stops, or less than ten minutes by car if there’s no traffic.

Of course, properties like this come with a hefty price tag.

Starting prices break ten thousand, with the highest close to twelve thousand.

However, with a wave of his hand, Huang Hongbo bought his daughter a two-hall six-room apartment, which is also the largest and best layout.

With an area of 187 square meters, the total cost was over two million, yet the couple didn’t even bat an eye.

The price was actually the least of the Huang family’s concerns.

With assets of dozens of millions and only one daughter, Huang Panpan, they can’t take this money to the grave. It will all be left to their little princess in the future. When it comes to her housing, they naturally wouldn’t skimp.

Besides, this apartment is perfect, meeting all the requirements, convenient for life and commuting, their daughter likes it, and even the name sounds nice.

Phoenix Square— in the couple’s hearts, Huang Panpan is as precious as a phoenix.

They bought it outright and conveniently purchased two parking spaces. Even though they spent so much money, there wasn’t much discount, just three years of free property management fees.

The next day after paying the deed and stamp tax, they had a farewell feast, and then Huang Panpan went home with her parents.

Su Zelin told her that there was no need to report to the company too early and that she should spend more time with her parents for now.

Dingsheng Mansion, headquarters of New Era.

Su Zelin sat in his office, spinning a pen around his fingers like a propeller.

Even after graduation, the laid-back person maintained this habit, and he finds it more necessary now because, after all, he has a few girlfriends.

As he spun the pen, he thought about some things in his mind.

After a relatively relaxed two months, he needed to activate busy mode again because the “Thousand Counties Plan” had to officially commence.

This was at least a task involving two thousand stores.

The company’s personnel structure also needed an upgrade because, no matter how energetic he was, there was no way he could manage that much. The same thing applied to other departments, and adding deputies for certain crucial roles was inevitable.

Su Zelin had long had a suitable candidate for the assistant role in the operations department. This was also a promise he had once made to someone, and now it was time to fulfill it.

After work, he gathered all the employees of the operations department for a meeting.

Everyone understood this leader’s personality— he didn’t like bureaucratism, holding meetings over trivial matters just to chat about meaningless things, which was simply a waste of time.

Su Zelin either didn’t hold meetings or, when he did, usually had something important to say.

“This time I’ve gathered you all to discuss two matters.”

“First, everyone will soon have to get busy because, within the next six months, I want to see New Era’s stores in every county of Xia Country!”

Nobody was surprised by the first matter because the wind of the “Thousand Counties Plan” had already spread within New Era; everyone said that Su Zelin was soon going to push stores into the county-level markets.

Some people even guessed because this ambitious and decisive President Su wouldn’t be satisfied with the status quo, just establishing markets in every province and stopping there.

“As for the second matter, due to workload needs, an additional deputy director is required for the operations department. After discussions with superiors, it was decided that Song Yuwei would take on this position. Congratulations to Assistant Song, oh, I should now call you Deputy Director Song!”

As soon as he said this, the meeting room erupted in applause.

They hadn’t heard about adding a deputy director, but it wasn’t surprising that Song Yuwei would take the role.

Song Yuwei had been an employee for a long time, starting as a store manager at Master Store, almost four years now, with deep experience. Moreover, she had been Su Zelin’s assistant for so long and was highly valued. Certainly, a trusted aide like this would be supported by Su Zelin.

Song MM was both shocked and delighted.

Back when she was buying her house, Su Zelin had mentioned that within two years, she would be placed as the deputy director of the operations department.
