Chapter 218 \nThe news that Wang Cheng had officially entered the Zhou Group did not spread. He did not return to the Zhou house at night, but went to the Zheng house. Zhou Lin originally wanted to mention seeing him in the company at the dinner table, but lacking the protagonist and an excuse, could only give up.\nThe next day, Wang Cheng got up early.
Seeing him appear at the dining table, the Zheng family was not surprised. Although Wang Cheng changed his surname to Zhou, he was still a descendant of the Zheng family. He could live anywhere as long as he wanted, and there was no room for doubt.
âAre there any arrangements today?â Zheng Hengâs gaze swept across the dining table, and finally fell on Wang Cheng who was drinking porridge.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what he said.
Wang Cheng put down his finished bowl. It was no surprise that Grandpa could see that he was dressed more formally today. He nodded, saying, âMy maternal grandpa has arranged a position for me in the company and Iâm going to work today.â
Zheng Heng nodded in satisfaction when he heard his words. âWork hard. If you donât understand anything, ask, donât let down your grandpaâs painstaking efforts.â
âI will.â
Mother Zheng had already known this last night, and she was also very happy. She gave him a scallion egg pancake. âChengcheng, today is your first day at work. You might run more errands so eat a little more, it can give you strength. â
Wang Cheng smiled at Mother Zheng, âThank you, Mother.â
The second house was happy, but the mood of the first house was like rainy weather. Wang Chengâs successful entry into the Zhou Group was not good news for them, it meant that the second house would only become more and more important in the heart of the old man.
After having breakfast, Mother Zheng sent her husband and two sons to go out. Father Zheng and Zheng Jingen were also more concerned about Wang Chengâs first day at work, and they left together after a few words. After Wang Cheng and Mother Zheng said goodbye, they drove to the Zhou Group.
Driving a sports car worth three to four million in the business center was not very conspicuous behavior, because the Imperial Capital was a city where wealthy people traveled everywhere. If they saw the Maybach with a value of ten million, no one would be surprised because it was too common.
The business center gathered large enterprises from all over the world. Famous big brands could be seen almost everywhere here, especially near the iconic Imperial Building.
Now, it was the peak time for work.\nThere were white-collared elites everywhere, all dressed very formally. Wang Cheng entered the Royal Capital Building with the flow of people. The large hall became very crowded. Just listening to the sound of the heels of shoes hitting the smooth marble floor gave a feeling of the rushing atmosphere.
As soon as the elevator opened, men and women scrambled in. People who were a step slower could only take the next elevator. Among them, Wang Cheng had come over a half an hour in advance. Otherwise, he would definitely be late. Fortunately, after having enough experience with the elevators in the building, Wang Cheng grabbed the second elevator.
By the 70th floor, there were very few people left in the elevator.
Wang Cheng loosened his tie, almost suffocating. He had never experienced this in Shanhai City before; the capital was really scary.
The staff at the front desk already knew Wang Cheng, and when they saw him, greeted hello. âGood morning.â
âGood morning,â Wang Cheng responded. After he left, the female employee immediately covered her hot face and gossiped with the other employees.
Zhou Shichang handed Wang Cheng over to Feng Yifan. Feng Yifan had a little understanding of his situation. For the time being, the position assigned to him was to be a small assistant of his assistant Xie Wenzhi. In the beginning, he would mainly do some errands to let him see a bit of the business.
Xie Wenzhi didnât know Wang Chengâs identity. Feng Yifan just told him that he wanted him to take someone on for a while. When he saw Wang Cheng, he vaguely felt that it was unusual. As an assistant to the president, he often came into contact with some important projects. When he led people, it was equivalent to asking him to teach them.
âHello, Iâm Xie Wenzhi, assistant to President Feng. I will be responsible for your work in the next few months. You can come to me any time you have questions.â Xie Wenzhi did not know if his guess was right, so he did not dare to neglect Wang Cheng, this airborne person.
[T/N: airborne = the way heâs using it means high-ranking official who has come down from a higher position to work in a local position.]
Wang Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand. âMy name is Zhou Cheng. Please advise me in the future.â
Xie Wenzhi froze, only reacting after a few seconds. His breathing suddenly increased a little. No one in the company didnât know the name Zhou Cheng. Just with his surname Zhou, his future was bigger and brighter than that of Zhao Chenlin. For such a rumored person to suddenly appear in front of him, it was normal for Xie Wenzhi to fail to respond in time. He shook Wang Chengâs hand.
âZhouâŚâ
âItâs fine to call me Zhou Cheng.â Wang Cheng knew that he must have been about to say Zhou Shao, and interrupted him.\nXie Wenzhi paused and suddenly smiled. âThen I will call you Zhou Cheng. I am a few years older than you, you can call me Xie Dage in the future. This is more convenient and simple.â
âOkay, Xie Dage, what can I do next?â
When it came to work, Xie Wenzhi relaxed the restraint in his heart and quickly entered the correct state. âYour desk is next to mine. Iâll take you to see it first. Because you are not very familiar with the company, you should familiarize yourself with it today. Some documents will be sent to you below.â
Wang Cheng listened carefully.
His modest and studious attitude gave Xie Wenzhi a good impression of him â and his personality was better than expected. Not only was he handsome, but also patient. When he made him run up and down for over a dozen times, he did not complain about it. Other employees suffered a lot from complaints, so this kind of worry-free employee was like an angel. After work, Xie Wenzhi called Wang Cheng to go for lunch together, and accompanying them was Feng Yifan and the secretary of the chairman, Li Min.
âSecretary Li, did the chairman not come to the company today?â Wang Cheng asked, not seeing his grandfather.
Li Min was a bit surprised. She thought that Wang Cheng knew, âNo, the chairman is still in his office. His lunch is specially delivered by the Zhou servants, the chairman is not used to eating the food in the restaurant.â Wang Cheng understood a bit and nodded his head.
The restaurant was buffet-style. Wang Cheng did not serve as much rice and vegetables on his plate as usual, but went for seconds after eating. His large appetite also amazed Feng Yifan. However, just when he was about to finish, an individual suddenly sat in front of him.
Wang Cheng raised his head and glanced at the other party, then continued to bury his head in his meal, ignoring them.
Xie Wenzhi and Li Min who sat next to each other looked at each other and did not speak. At this time, they were afraid that they could only choose to protect themselves. Feng Yifan seemed to find it very interesting. His movement of eating slowed down, as if he was afraid that if he ate too fast, he would miss a good show.
âCousin, today is your first day at work. If you donât understand anything, you can always ask me. I am on the same floor as you. In the morning, because I was too busy, I had no time to say hello to you. You donât blame me, right? â
Zhao Chenlin spoke very sincerely, it was not bad. It was easy for him to arouse the favor of others when his temper was not bad. Now, because of the threat of Wang Cheng, he himself was also aware of the crisis and began to learn how to work in the company. He began to network here. However, because when he first entered the company he often used the fact that his grandfather was the chairman of the board to yell at his colleagues and not work well. He had already left a bad impression on some employees, which he could change after a while, as long as he could bear it.
Wang Cheng took a moment out of his busy eating to glance at him. He then swallowed the food in his mouth, before saying, âI heard that my cousin has only been in the company for two or three months?â
Zhao Chenlin heard something in his words. Although he was unhappy, he didnât show it on his face. âItâs only two or three months, but itâs still better than you, who just joined the company. We can help each other and our grandfather will be very happy.â
\nâAgreed.â
Some of Zhao Chenlinâs little tricks were actually pretty good, but a lot of them couldnât make it on the stage. If ordinary people compared with him, he had an advantage, but he had uttered the wrong greeting today. He was too young to understand tolerance. His play also let them see the gap between the two of them. Zhao Chenlinâs social ability was too far behind Zhou Chengâs, a discerning person could tell this at a glance.
In the afternoon, Wang Cheng didnât need to run errands from time to time. Xie Wenzhi compiled a document for him, which was much more detailed than the original one given by Chu Yifeng. The first few pages were about the companyâs structure and culture, job requirements, and working environment. The later pages explained the products and related business, including some information from the last ten years, but one needed to go to the reference room for more detailed information.
Wang Cheng spent the afternoon looking through the materials and helping Xie Wenzhi run errands. He was soon off work, during which Zhou Lin came up. He didnât know if she had heard anything from Zhao Chenlin, but she cared for him as an elder with a few words.
Upon returning to the Zhou house, Wang Cheng found that he was the first to come back.
Soon, he knew the reason. The Zhao Chenlin family trio returned with his grandfather, talking and laughing.
âChengcheng, you came back so early.â Zhou Linâs expression was normal, but she said it surprisedly, as if Wang Cheng shouldnât have been back so early.
The son and mother were really virtuous. They couldnât wait to trip him every time they met, especially when his grandfather was present. It seems like they would feel uncomfortable when he was not down. They had done this too many times, and Wang Cheng was too lazy to accept this trick. He said, âI came back after I was off from workâ, turned his head, and stopped looking at them.
Zhao Chenlin thought that he had nothing to say and didnât want to continue the topic, so he pretended to be very concerned and came to him. âCousin, are you in low spirits about the job? Are you not well adapted to the job? Donât worry, Just adapt to it for a few more days. After all, the Zhou Group is not the same as the company you used to work with, and the pace is faster.â
Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes. Zhao Chenlin saw him staring at himself without speaking. âWhat are you thinking to look at me like this?â
âNothing. I read too much information today, and Iâm digesting that content, but you keep talking to me, causing me to be unable to concentrate.â
As soon as Wang Cheng finished speaking, the Zhou steward called them to dinner and immediately left.
When Zhao Chenlin noticed that his grandpaâs eyes fell on Wang Cheng with a gratified smile on his face, his expression distorted.
