Chapter 672
Su Jie's Old Classmate
The man was wearing a well-fitting suit with a neatly tied tie and carrying a leather briefcase. He looked like a workplace elite.
"Oh, I thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect to meet you here. When did you come back?" After the man came closer, he looked at Su Jie happily and asked a series of questions.
But Su Jie obviously didn't recognize this person who seemed to be very familiar with her. She looked at him with a puzzled expression and greeted him politely: "Who are you...?"
When the man saw Su Jie's reaction that she didn't recognize him, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and then he forced out a slightly awkward smile and introduced himself: "It's me, Su Jie, Zhu Jiewen! Do you remember me?"
"Zhu...Jie...Wen, Zhu Jie...Wen, Zhu...Jie Wen?" Su Jie whispered the name twice, but her expression was still very confused. It was obvious that she still couldn't remember anything about this man.
Zhu Jiewen sighed, showing a disappointed expression, and said: "I am so invisible. We were classmates in college, and I was the monitor of our class at that time! I served you as the monitor for four years!"
"Squad leader!"
Su Jie was obviously stunned, and then a figure flashed in her memory. Almost instantly, she subconsciously exclaimed: "Squad leader, Fatty Zhu? You are Fatty Zhu..."
Su Jie stopped talking halfway and said awkwardly, "Uh, sorry, monitor, I was a little abrupt."
Zhu Jiewen shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Nothing, Fatty Zhu, who made me too fat at that time, so everyone gave me a nickname that was just being realistic."
Su Jie glanced at Zhu Jiewen and said, "You have changed so much that I really can't react. If you hadn't called me first, even if you said you were Zhu..."
At this point, Su Jie obviously forgot Zhu Jiewen's name. After all, at that time, Su Jie, a top student, was only focused on reading sage books and did not have close contact with her classmates. Except for a few roommates in the same dormitory, she did not remember all the names of other classmates, let alone today, seven or eight years later. |
As for Zhu Jiewen, Su Jie knew that he was the class monitor, but at that time people called him "Fatty Zhu". On the contrary, few people mentioned his real name, so Su Jie could hardly remember it.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiewen helplessly reminded: "Zhu Jiewen!
Su Jie nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, yes, yes, Zhu Jiewen, I'm sorry, squad leader. I called you squad leader so many times back then that I can't quite remember your name. What I mean is that you have changed so much that it's really unbelievable."
Zhu Jiewen smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's nothing more than controlling your mouth and moving your legs. But you, beautiful Su, haven't changed at all in all these years, you're still so beautiful, it's as if the law of time being a butcher's knife has failed on you."
Su Jie said modestly: "No, no, I've aged. I have crow's feet at the corners of my eyes, and I've gained a lot of weight. You are more self-disciplined. It's easy to say that you should control your diet and move your legs, but it's really hard for most people to do it!"
Zhu Jiewen smiled and shook his head. He said, "I had no choice. I was too fat at the time and had many diseases. I pushed myself. By the way, who is this?"
Su Jie smiled and glanced at Xu Bo'an before saying, "He is my friend! Xu Bo'an! Xu Bo'an, I'm sure you've heard this, this is my class monitor in college, Zhu Jiewen."
When Zhu Wenjie heard that Su Jie did not introduce Xu Boan as her "boyfriend", he was immediately very happy. He no longer had the desire to greet Xu Boan. He just nodded as a greeting.
Then he said to Su Jie: "By the way, old classmate, are you here for work? Or for business?"
Su Jie said softly: "No, I'm here to look for a job. I just came back from abroad not long ago, and I want to find a job to transition and get familiar with the industry."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiewen smiled and said, "Looking for a job? That's a coincidence. If you haven't decided where to go yet, why don't you come to our company and work for a while? Our company is hiring right now. I'm quite familiar with the leader, so I can recommend someone for you!"
Zhu Jiewen said this very beautifully.
It sounds like he has a very high position in the company and a lot of say.
But in fact, it is just because their company has an internal recommendation mechanism! And female doctors of medicine are very popular in pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical-related research companies no matter where they are.
Even if Zhu Jiewen can successfully recommend Su Jie, a high-end female doctor, for employment, he will receive a considerable referral bonus, so Zhu Jiewen is so enthusiastic!
Of course, in addition to this, Zhu Jiewen also had his own selfish motives. He had been secretly in love with Su Jie for a long time. He didn't have the courage to confess his feelings to her for various reasons when they were in school, and he was unable to fulfill his beautiful wish of joining hands with his wife. Now that he has finally met her again, he must seize this opportunity.
If I can introduce Su Jie to work in my company, the chances of getting the upper hand will increase a lot. Plus, as they were classmates, Su Jie, who has just joined the company, will certainly have a lot of trust and reliance on me. If things continue to develop at this pace, there's a great chance that we'll get married!
Hearing Zhu Jiewen's words, Su Jie said in surprise: "Ah! Is this appropriate?"
Zhu Jiewen shrugged and said indifferently, “What’s the big deal? A doctor of medicine has great potential, and with my recommendation, there will be no problem.
Of course, our company's salary is pretty good, about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, which is a very good salary in Jiangcheng and even the whole Jiangzhou."
Su Jie nodded slightly and said, "That's not bad. I don't know the name of your company. I applied for jobs in two companies today. Could your company be one of them?"
Su Jie was not really interested in this company. As a doctor of medicine, such an annual salary was not high at all. However, since her old classmates had shown their goodwill, Su Jie would not be so tactless and would give them some face.
Zhu Jiewen didn't understand Su Jie's true intention, and immediately reached out to take out a business card from his handbag, and then he introduced again: "Here, Fenghua Pharmaceutical! It is a well-known pharmaceutical company in Jiangzhou. It is difficult for ordinary people to get in.
Especially recently, our company is in the limelight. We are currently developing a very unique medicine. Once successfully developed, it can instantly relieve hangovers. Moreover, the waste can be used as a good seasoning, which tastes much better than vinegar. It is very popular in the market.
It is foreseeable that according to the current development trend, our company's year-end bonus at the end of this year should be much higher than last year. If you join us now, you should also get a good bonus during the Chinese New Year. What do you think? Consider it!" Su Jie was really interested after hearing this. It is not easy for a pharmaceutical company to independently develop drugs.
The drugs produced by many pharmaceutical companies are just some common drugs on the market. They have no ability to independently develop new categories of drugs. Looking around the world, there are not many pharmaceutical companies that have the ability to independently develop drugs in new areas. Now Zhu Jiewen and his company actually have such strength. This is definitely a potential stock.
So, Su Jie asked Zhu Jiewen in more detail about their company.
"Team leader, who is the leading expert of your company's drug research and development team? Can you give me a brief introduction so I can learn more about him?" Su Jie asked with great interest.
After hearing Su Jie's speech, Zhu Jiewen paused for a moment, but still introduced her fluently: "Oh, you may not recognize his name even if I tell you. He is the younger brother of an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You know the identity of an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He originally had the opportunity to participate in the evaluation because he has participated in many of his brother's projects. However, due to various reasons, he has not yet been able to do so. It just so happens that he is very interested in the project developed by our company. The two parties hit it off and hired him. This expert is also prepared to rely on our company's research and development to stabilize his academician qualification."
The two of them immediately started chatting enthusiastically, which made Xu Bo'an on the side seem a little redundant.
When Xu Bo'an saw Su Jie met an acquaintance and started chatting with her, he remembered that he had other things to do, so he prepared to say goodbye to Su Jie and leave. After all, he came to find Tong Xiaojian and was going to handle the transfer of ownership of a second-hand house.
It was just a chance encounter with Su Jie. Now that she was busy, there was no need for me to stand here awkwardly like a light bulb.
But just as Xu Bo'an was about to say goodbye, he heard what Zhu Jiewen said.
Their company is developing hangover medicine? Moreover, the waste medicine is used as a seasoning, and it tastes better than vinegar?
Why does this sound so familiar?
Xu Boan quickly recalled that when he was dining at a big hotel in Dongjiang before, he had eaten a dish that had the taste of sour juice but did not have the effect of sour juice. This surprised Xu Boan. He thought that the real world also had the specialty Shanlihuang like the bonsai world!
Now that I hear this news, could it be that this matter is related to the seasoning used in the meal?
Thinking of this, Xu Boan didn't plan to leave immediately.
Sour juice is a specialty of the bonsai world, but it is still a unique product in the real world. It can be regarded as one of the top secrets. However, someone is actually studying this thing now, which makes Xu Boan alert.
It would be fine if the other party couldn't figure it out, but if they did, how could he continue to run this monopoly business? How could he make money from the pharmaceutical factory he had already acquired? At least his profits would definitely plummet.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan not only did not say goodbye and leave, but instead paid more attentive attention to the conversation between Su Jie and Zhu Jiewen. He subconsciously moved closer and tilted his ear.
Paying attention to Xu Boan's actions, Zhu Jiewen frowned slightly.
In his opinion, Xu Bo'an was a complete light bulb. Didn't he see that he was having a passionate conversation with the goddess of his dreams? Not only did this guy not know how to avoid her, he even wanted to get closer. This was intolerable!
After all, some of this information was originally secrets within the company. He told Su Jie the details because he felt that Su Jie was more reliable and also wanted to curry favor with her.
But the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Naturally, he was not happy about Xu Boan sitting here.
So, Zhu Jiewen suddenly stopped talking to Su Jie, looked at Xu Bo'an and asked, "My friend, it sounds like you are also very interested in our company. What do you do for a living?"
Xu Boan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you misunderstood. I am not interested in these things. Let me briefly introduce my situation. I used to work in the civil engineering industry, but I just stopped doing it a while ago and started my own business. I am just starting it now."
Civil Engineering? Do Business!
Zhu Jiewen felt a little relieved, as the only thing he could think of with these two words was contractor!
Such a person poses no threat to me, and has no competitiveness in my pursuit of Su Jie.
I am a high-end talent and the other party is just a small contractor. How can we be compared!
As long as Su Jie is not blind, she will definitely know who is her perfect match!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jiewen felt a sense of superiority, as if his dream had come true. He even spoke with a condescending attitude and said, "In the current economic situation, it is still a bit risky to start your own business!
Renting a store, hiring employees, spending money, and even paying for things are all huge expenses. Every day when I open my eyes, it feels like I owe a lot of money. It’s a bit too unstable.”
Zhu Jiewen is very good at summarizing his own advantages. Therefore, while talking with Xu Boan, he was also hinting to Su Jie on the side that he has a stable job and an excellent status, which is completely incomparable to Xu Boan, the "friend" in Su Jie's mouth.
Xu Boan smiled and didn't explain much. His own business was also a pharmaceutical company in the medical industry. In fact, the products sold by his company were much better and more advanced than those of Zhu Jiewen's company in terms of quality and efficacy.
By the time they really develop Xu Boan's hangover solution, the market will definitely have been occupied by Xu Boan's Kangtai Pharmaceutical. What Zhu Jiewen and his company will do by then will be like discovering the value of pi by rubbing a wooden plate by hand. Although it is indeed remarkable, it is really outdated.
Xu Bo'an nodded indifferently and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhu for your analysis, but our company is already very mature, so there is no need to worry too much."
