Chapter 394: Zhang Shaoting's Interest (1/3)
Originally, Chen Siyan had arranged with Yang Chen to finalize the travel plans together.
But after waiting for so long, Yang Chen still hadn't arrived.
Chen Siyan got anxious and called Yang Chen.
Seeing it was a call from Chen Siyan while driving, Yang Chen felt a bit helpless.
"Yanyan." Yang Chen answered the phone.
Chen Siyan immediately said, "Brother, where are you? Why haven't you come yet?"
"Don't worry, I have some things to do now. Pack your stuff, we're definitely going in the next few days."
Hearing this, Chen Siyan felt a bit dissatisfied, "In a few days, in a few days, when exactly is a few days? It's been delayed for so long."
Yang Chen knew that Chen Siyan was still young, and after all, had a child's temperament. He patiently explained, "Just in the next couple of days, rest assured, I promised to take you, so I definitely will."
Chen Siyan was not an unreasonable girl, and she never doubted Yang Chen's promises. It's just that she was too eager to go out and play, which made her a bit impatient. She also understood that Yang Chen surely had something important to do now, otherwise, he would have already been at school.
"Alright then, you go ahead and get busy. Once you have time, you must take me out to play!" Chen Siyan instructed.
Yang Chen chuckled gently, "Okay, I got it."
After hanging up, Yang Chen continued to focus on the car at the end of his field of vision.
...
Zhangkou Grand Hotel.
Zhang Shaoting finally got a day off, and Wang Hao asked him to relax a bit. After some light exercise, he was allowed to go out.
Maybe because of the numerous events recently, Zhang Shaoting appeared a bit more mature and no longer indulged in lavish eating, drinking, and playing like before.
Now, Zhang Shaoting began to focus on the family business.
Of course, the most important thing was his own business.
Recently, Yang Chen introduced him to someone whose renown was remarkable, the head of Feike Jewelry.
Feike Jewelry is a globally prestigious brand, easily overshadowing many domestic brands that haven't made it international.
Many people wanted to connect with such a brand but couldn't, let alone collaborate.
However, through Yang Chen's introduction, Zhang Group formed a deep partnership with Feike Jewelry. Although the share was slightly less, it was still a significant and lucrative deal!
On several floors of Zhangkou Grand Hotel, Feike Jewelry exhibits were displayed, and there was a dedicated store for sales on the ground floor lobby.
Now, Zhang Shaoting came to check today's sales.
It could be said that since Feike Jewelry's launch, it has been in high demand, with sales rising every day.
As soon as Zhang Shaoting reached the eighth-floor showcase area, he saw Zhang Qishan passing by with a few subordinates, and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how come you have time to visit today?"
Zhang Qishan was delighted when he saw Zhang Shaoting.
He could clearly notice that Zhang Shaoting looked much more energetic and robust, particularly the outlined muscles on his exposed arms, unlike his former frail, wealthy scion look.
Zhang Qishan was very pleased to see such tremendous improvement in Shaoting, feeling that he had finally matured.
"A big client arrived yesterday, and I'm here to inspect the hotel situation. Haven't you been busy working out recently? How do you have time to come?" Zhang Qishan asked kindly.
Zhang Shaoting, feeling the urge to move his limbs after Qishan's comment, replied, "The trainer said we must balance work with rest and not exhaust ourselves. After finishing basic training today, I came out. I was thinking about the cooperation with Feike Jewelry, so I came to take a look. The sales seem pretty good today."
Not just Shaoting, Zhang Qishan was also very concerned about Feike Jewelry's sales.
To be honest, this being his son's first business venture, and with such a significant international brand, Zhang Qishan was very attentive.
He practically came daily to check on the sales status.
What reassured him was that the sales figures have been steadily increasing in recent days.
Seeing that Shaoting personally came to check the business indicated his dedication.
Zhang Qishan always kept a close watch on his son.
Especially in recent times, the changes had been remarkably significant.
It's normal for young men to love the opposite sex, but Shaoting used to change several women nearly every day, and Qishan worried he might catch something unsavory. He looked perpetually drained by uninhibited indulgence and was scolded innumerable times.
Now suddenly, Shaoting pursued physical fitness, broke ties with those disreputable friends, and there were no more women brought home.
His vitality improved, his appetite for fun decreased, and his focus shifted to business.
This transformation greatly pleased Zhang Qishan.
"Good! This brand is indeed excellent, I've checked. The quality control is well managed, and the recent growth figures are considerable." Zhang Qishan remarked.
"Yes!" Shaoting nodded.
Truthfully, he was a bit interested in business now, but that interest was minor, not even a tenth of his current enthusiasm for fitness. He checked in whenever free. His primary interest was fulfilling the tasks arranged by Yang Chen, which was most important.
However, when Shaoting heard Qishan mention a big shot visiting, his curiosity was piqued, as it wasn't common for his father to label someone as a 'big shot.'
"A big shot came yesterday? What kind of big shot? From where?" Shaoting asked.
Zhang Qishan looked at Shaoting, saying, "Don't get any fancy ideas. This is a nobleman from Jin Chen, reportedly quite influential and formidable. Just know it, and don't stir up any trouble, such people aren't to be trifled with!"
There's a joke that when dining in Jin Chen, a brick thrown would hit either a bureau chief or a section chief.
So, generally speaking, it was normal for people from Jin Chen to wield considerable power.
Shaoting, being sensible, nodded immediately to show his understanding.
Zhang Qishan felt more at ease with Shaoting now and continued on his hotel inspection with his men.
Feeling a bit bored, Shaoting entered the eighth-floor office and asked the duty manager, "Hey! Who were the people visiting yesterday?"
The manager, quite familiar with Shaoting, chuckled, "Hehe! I don't know who they are, but I know last night he brought twelve women back and had quite a romp overnight. By early morning, a woman was thrown out stark naked, and then the others rushed out in a hurry, looking terrified!"
"Twelve!" Shaoting widened his eyes in astonishment, exclaiming, "Whoa! This guy is incredible! So powerful!"
At this point, the manager whipped out his phone and said to Shaoting, "Young Master Zhang, come on! Let's head to the monitoring room, the security chief said a stunning beauty has arrived."
Shao Ting, having nothing else to do, stood up and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as they entered the monitoring room, the security chief immediately pointed to a woman in the elevator and said, "Young Master Zhang, take a look, this woman is damn gorgeous, I've never seen such a beautiful woman!"
Upon seeing her, Shaoting's eyes widened in shock, and he swore, "Holy shit!"
