Chen Cheng laughed, "What's inappropriate about this?"
"The technical parameters and the equipment models to be purchased were all set during the design phase."
"I'm asking Brother Lin to go just to keep an eye on things for me, so some people don't try any funny business."
"I... I don't understand this... this data center," Lin Dawei understood Chen Cheng's intention, but he was indeed a bit flustered.
He was considered an Old Slicker in the workplace and knew very well the shady dealings in the procurement field.
Not to mention the big things, even as a small administrative director, there were so many areas for corruption—office supplies, event materials, and holiday employee benefits.
"It's not that I don't follow the company's arrangements; I'm mainly afraid of messing things up for you."
Lin Dawei wasn't embarrassed at all, calling him 'you' with the honorific form very smoothly.
There was no choice; last year's year-end bonus was five hundred thousand yuan.
Chen Cheng simply gave too much.
Although he was older, the other person was the boss. What was wrong with speaking respectfully? It wasn't like he'd lose a piece of flesh.
Earning money isn't shameful.
Chen Cheng continued to persuade him: "Brother Lin, Boundary Exploration is a new company. We just finished the project in the Port Area, and now we've started another big project. The company's human resources can't keep up."
"You've been doing administration at Company Name for a year now. You know the dirty business in the procurement industry."
"The investment in the North of the Great Wall project is very large. I have to find someone trustworthy to manage the procurement side."
Chen Cheng had a smile on his face; Lin Dawei was actually already tempted. That phrase 'It's not that I don't follow arrangements' had already exposed his inner thoughts.
Now he was just playing the game of declining three times before accepting.
"With such a big investment, I'm even more afraid to manage it."
Chen Cheng said faintly: "Brother Lin, Miao Miao just started university, and Lin Gou Gou isn't even a year old yet."
"Don't you want to make some progress?"
"I..." At the mention of his son and daughter, Lin Dawei was immediately hit where it hurt, unable to say a word.
"Hahaha~"
Chen Cheng laughed heartily twice, "Brother Lin, we're so familiar, let's not do these superficial things."
"Give me a word."
"Will you do it?"
"If you still won't do it, I'll give Sister Shengnan a call in a bit."
"..."
Black lines suddenly appeared on Lin Dawei's forehead. What was this?
Who says to someone's face that they're going to talk to their family members?
"Alright, I'll... give it a try?" Lin Dawei said tentatively.
"That's more like it~" Chen Cheng laughed again.
"..."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
Lin Dawei put down his phone, looking at the stylish and exquisite decoration of the office and the pleasant city scenery outside the window.
Suddenly he felt a bit confused, or rather, a bit dazed.
As an administrative director, he had a large independent office by the window on Financial Street.
It wasn't a business department, so there was no performance pressure.
Not to mention a million-yuan annual salary.
The monthly housing fund and social security were all paid at the maximum level.
Plus tens of thousands in supplementary commercial insurance.
Every year there were many holiday benefits—Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day—shopping cards and gift boxes were always prepared.
Even for smaller holidays that didn't involve time off, nothing was ever missed.
As the administrative director, he knew these things best.
In short, Chen Cheng's Zhencheng System never lacked in terms of welfare and benefits.
Now Chen Cheng wanted to add more to his plate; he was really a bit apprehensive.
He didn't quite understand why Chen Cheng was so kind and trusting toward him.
Although going to Boundary Exploration would also be as a director, everyone knows there's a huge difference between one director and another.
Whether private or state-owned, procurement is one of the most lucrative positions in any company system.
Not to mention Boundary Exploration is a startup high-tech company still in a period of massive investment.
Every procurement could easily be tens or hundreds of billions.
Even a tiny bit of 'sand' leaking through the fingers would be enough to live on for a lifetime.
Becoming the director of the procurement department is practically getting the key to the vault, isn't it?
No matter how clean one stays, even without taking a single kickback.
Just the 'local specialties' suppliers secretly stuff into suitcases during business inspections would probably break the suitcase wheels.
Could it really just be because Miao Miao is Zhao Rui's classmate?
Being connected through family and friends, a natural closeness?
No~
There's a problem!
Something is ninety percent wrong!
But if you say Chen Cheng has his eye on his daughter, let alone Wang Shengnan not believing it, he didn't believe it himself either.
Why on earth was this?
...
Chen Cheng never thought that a simple personnel arrangement would make Lin Dawei think so much.
Seeing Chen Cheng finish the call, Andy asked casually, "Who do you want to go as the Vice President?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "My sister-in-law~"
"Sister-in-law?" Andy was stunned for a moment.
"Yeah," Chen Cheng nodded, "a very shrewd woman."
"I have no doubts about her ability; I just need to help my cousin solve his job problem as well."
"Of course, I also have to ask if they're willing to come to Magic City."
"The couple has been in Nanyue for twenty years; asking them to give up their existing social relations is a bit of a hassle."
However, according to Chen Cheng's estimation, Chen Liang and his wife would definitely be willing.
Both are smart people; if a big tree offers itself for you to lean on, there's no reason not to.
Since it was just a casual question and Chen Cheng had a plan, Andy didn't ask further.
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Yazu in the passenger seat, "Contact sales, let's buy another plane."
Hmm?
Zhao Yazu looked back blankly. She had been listening to Chen Cheng speak, and this sudden remark was clearly unexpected.
Zhao Yazu reacted quickly, "Alright."
"Do you have any requirements for the plane?"
"Range, price, brand?"
Having looked into it last year, Chen Cheng didn't hesitate, "Ask how long it would take to get a new Gulfstream G650ER."
"If it's within half a year, let's go with the G650ER."
"Hmm..." Chen Cheng thought again, "Register it domestically this time."
"Understood, I've noted it down." Zhao Yazu smiled and nodded.
Chen Cheng's talk about buying a plane wasn't just a casual remark to Li Na.
It was because there were more people in the family now, and one Global 7500 was no longer enough.
Li Na and Qiao Jingjing are now frequent flyers, busy as can be. In the future, when Ye Zhenzhen's company business increases, she and Qin Shi will also have many travel needs.
Buy another one; one for Qiao Jingjing, Li Na, and the others, and the other can meet his own travel needs at any time.
Just as they finished talking about the plane, Andy's phone vibrated.
Andy took a look, glanced at Chen Cheng, and said, "It's Wei Guoqiang."
Chen Cheng frowned, "The results should be out."
"Have him set a place directly. Settle it once and for all so you don't waste any more time on this."
Andy thought for a moment, nodded, and pressed answer.
As expected, the results were indeed out.
Andy didn't waste words with Wei Guoqiang and directly arranged to meet at the law firm in an hour.
