Episode 2: Gu Xingyan joins her biological mother’s company

Gu Xingyan recognized Cong Fei and Lin Yi, but neither of them recognized that Gu Xingyan in front of them was the daughter of Tang Wanrong, the old chairman of Dongchen. Gu Xingyan joined Dongchen’s design department as an assistant designer, and Cong Fei was her leader. The atmosphere in the design department is quite good.

Gu Xingyan showed her portfolio to Cong Fei, and Cong Fei discovered that a ring she designed was very similar to Tang Wanrong’s design, and both of them graduated from LaSalle School, which is a very powerful school. Cong Fei thought this was a coincidence.

Li Zhuoran convened a board meeting. He believed that now is a good time to sell Dongchen. Most people agreed, but Lin Yi clearly expressed his opposition. Li Zhuoran knew that he wanted Dongchen Group to return to the old path of focusing on design, but that It is necessary to build a world-class jewelry team, which consumes huge manpower, material and financial resources. Compared with selling the company, this is not a good choice.

Gu Xingyan went to the cemetery to pay homage to her mother. She told her mother about her employment at Dongchen. She knew that her mother had always wanted her to live an ordinary life, but if she did not find out what had happened when her mother was framed, Gu Xingyan was I won’t give in.

Gu Xingyan heard the gossip of her colleagues in the office. She was very surprised when she learned that the board of directors decided to sell the company. She learned that her mother was framed when she was imprisoned. It was said that she bought an industrial mine that could not be mined, but according to the It is impossible for a mother’s mind to do such a thing, but not many people know about the specifics.

Cong Fei arranged for everyone to come up with new product design drafts. Once approved, he would be recommended as the main designer of the project. Gu Xingyan felt that this was her opportunity, so she worked harder.

Gu Xingyan has a good relationship with her colleague Xiao Qing. They both want to work hard and buy a house of their own in the big city of Shanghai. Qu Man is the spokesperson of Dongchen Jewelry. Although her temperament matches the tone of the brand, she does have a bad temper, and she even has a bad face when facing investors and Lin Yi. Lin Yi is not surprised. It is normal for him to have a temper when he is in Qu Man’s position.

Cong Fei is Tang Wanrong’s student. Tang Wanrong treated him well at first, but now he does not serve Dongchen honestly. Instead, he secretly contacts the people of Bright Jewelry and sells design drafts to them to make profits. Mr. Li of Bright Jewelry thought Cong Fei was pretty good. As long as he wanted to buy Bright Jewelry, he could set up a design department for him. He was still the design director. Cong Fei ignored her, got up and left.

Lin Yi always didn’t use the sales department’s plans, so the case was not discussed this time. Li Zhuoran thought it was a problem with the sales department. The class director of the sales department sued Lin Yi in front of the chairman this time.

Li Zhuoran is very good at buying off employees and at the same time alienating them. He first affirmed the class director’s plan, and then told her that the problem of aging management in the group did exist, but it needed to be adjusted slowly. He said that he was very optimistic about the class director. Let her perform well and hopefully take over from Lin Yi in the future.

In order to prevent Dongchen from being sold, Lin Yi worked hard to negotiate terms with investor Mr. Wang. He hoped Mr. Wang could invest 20 million, but Mr. Wang believed that based on Dongchen’s current situation, the money was too much, and Investing in them is risky. So Lin Yi went to his office in person to continue discussing investment. The investment amount remained unchanged and the dividends were increased by five points. He worked so hard to repay Tang Wanrong for his kindness and keep Dongchen Jewelry.
