A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 84 Lin Xiaomin

"Then tell me the specifics!"

Manager Tang said, "We signed a contract with this company last week, and they have already paid us an 18 million euro deposit, requiring us to complete 10% of the order's production within three months."

"Although computer mainframe production is also part of the electronics industry, it's a new challenge for our entire Tang Group. Since it's a new field and a new challenge, we can't take it lightly; we must go all out to win this battle." Chao Bufan's tone was gentle but focused. Everyone present could tell that the chairman's words, though spoken lightly, carried heavy weight, and they all listened attentively and took them seriously. He continued, "Headquarters is particularly concerned about this area, but their intention is for you to face this challenge yourselves. You can no longer rely on headquarters' help. Manager Guan, do you understand what I mean?"

"Please rest assured, President, we have already begun preparations for this. We have also recruited a large number of new staff in the past few days, and we expect to be fully operational next week."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Manager Guan, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them with headquarters. Headquarters will definitely cooperate fully, for example, by providing technical support."

Chao Bufan did a lot of work on this inspection last night. He didn't want to come here and find himself clueless. That would be a disgrace.

“That’s not necessary,” Manager Guan said with a smile. “We’ve already recruited some technical staff. There are quite a few problems with the production of the computer mainframes, but we can’t let headquarters bear the burden any longer. We’ll find a way to solve any problems ourselves. There’s just one thing I’d like to mention to the chairman. The salesperson who took this order has been traveling back and forth between the two countries several times recently, which has cost her a lot of money. In principle, we should reimburse her for these expenses, but she refuses to do so, and she’s even returned the money we offered to reimburse her. I’ve spoken to her privately several times these past few days, but she just won’t accept it. Chairman, what do you think…”

Clearly, Manager Guan was seeking Chao Bufan's opinion. Chao Bufan was slightly surprised upon hearing this, thinking, "There really are people like this? Willing to spend money for the company, even refusing reimbursement? Interesting." He asked, "What's her name?"

Manager Tang replied, "Her name is Lin Xiaomin."

Chao Bufan then asked, "Where is she now?"

Manager Tang said, "They're with the sales department right now."

Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "Manager Tang, after the meeting, please have her come here. I'd like to speak with her in person."

Manager Guan then said, "Chairman, why don't we talk in my office?"

"Alright, Manager Tang, then let her come to your office!"

Manager Tang replied, "Yes, Chairman."

Next, Chao Bufan discussed the 60 million euro deal with everyone for a while before the meeting adjourned.

In the general manager's office, Chao Bufan sat in the general manager's seat. Guan Yunfei's assistant quickly made a cup of coffee and politely placed it in front of Chao Bufan. Because Chao Bufan wanted to speak with Lin Xiaomin alone, Guan Yunfei went to inspect the various departments. This was his daily routine; no matter how busy he was, he would always visit and offer his regards to the departments. Therefore, everyone in the company liked him. If you asked anyone in the company, even the lowest-level employees, as long as Manager Guan was mentioned, no one would fail to give him a thumbs up. In addition, he was easygoing, never put on airs, and knew how to care for and be considerate of his subordinates. Therefore, everyone in the company respected him and no one ever spoke ill of him behind his back.

Not long after, a slender girl, with light makeup, fair skin, and around twenty-two years old, walked in. She wore a white dress and pink high heels. She was Lin Xiaomin, the saleswoman Chao Bufan wanted to meet.

Lin Xiaomin is quite good-looking. Although she can't compare to Tang Qianqian, she can still be described as a beauty of unparalleled grace.

When Lin Xiaomin saw four bodyguards standing straight at the door of the general manager's office, she was slightly startled, but quickly understood. The chairman, of course, would have bodyguards with him. However, when she entered the office and saw Chao Bufan sitting in the general manager's seat, she was stunned and asked, "Are you... the chairman?"

Clearly, Lin Xiaomin was completely taken aback that their chairman would be such a young and handsome man. Like other girls, she had assumed the chairman was an older person, but instead, she was surprised to find him so young and incredibly handsome. Girls, after all, love beauty; what girl doesn't? Lin Xiaomin was no exception, as evidenced by her attire. Of course, while she loved beauty, no girl didn't want her Prince Charming to be handsome and wealthy—a tall, rich, and handsome man! What girl wouldn't like that?

Therefore, when Lin Xiaomin saw Chao Bufan, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Actually, when Chao Bufan saw Lin Xiaomin, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. This guy's eyes light up whenever he sees a pretty girl; he wishes every pretty girl in the world could be his wife.

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, then asked, "You must be Lin Xiaomin?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomin nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes. Chairman, you wanted to see me?"

From Lin Xiaomin's words, it was clear that she was a very lively and cheerful girl, very easygoing, and always had that unique smile on her face. This surprised Chao Bufan slightly, and he nodded and said, "Sit down!"

Lin Xiaomin didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, Chairman!"

Before Chao Bufan could speak, Lin Xiaomin said with a smile, "Chairman, I really didn't expect you to be so young, it's truly beyond my expectations!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled faintly and asked, "What, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Xiaomin laughed without any attempt to hide her laughter, "I thought you were some old, toothless man!"

"Huh?" Chao Bufan paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, saying, "Lin Xiaomin, Manager Guan told me that you are a college student majoring in e-commerce, and you even passed the TEM-8 (Test for English Majors-Band 8), right?"
