"Why do you have ti to co to see today?"
Cao Jinse stopped her work and leaned back in her office chair, crossing her arms.
"I brought you sothing."
The distinguished Jiang Chen placed a gift on her desk.
"Tea leaves?"
Cao Jinse glanced at it, a bit surprised, "I’m not particularly fond of tea."
"You can take it back for Mr. Cao."
Still puzzled, Cao Jinse looked at the bag of tea leaves more intently and finally noticed sothing.
"Where did it co from?"
Jiang Chen, who borrowed the flowers to present to the Buddha, didn’t hide it. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then candidly said, "It was given by your sister Qinghua."
Cao Jinse suddenly understood.
"So, you two hit it off imdiately?"
She said as she casually accepted the tea leaves.
"I talked further with her."
Upon hearing this, Cao Jinse sat up straight and imdiately put on an indifferent look, "Whatever you talked about is your business, don’t tell ."
Jiang Chen laughed.
"At the very least, you still call her sister, so she probably won’t harm you."
"Those are two different things."
Cao Jinse was serious, "Business is business, personal is personal, they should not be mixed."
Jiang Chen knew this was a reminder.
For people like them, the biggest taboo was mixing business and personal matters.
"Don’t worry, whether it’s a blessing or a curse this ti, I won’t drag you into it."
Cao Jinse’s lips moved as if to speak, then she held back and finally laughed helplessly, "I really don’t know what you’re thinking, saving money only to spend it again?"
Jiang Chen feigned depth, "Since you don’t want to be involved, don’t ask too much; knowing too much won’t do you any good."
Cao Jinse laughed in exasperation, staring directly at his face.
"Did you wash your face before going out today?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled.
"These clear words on your forehead, ’foolish with too much money.’
Jiang Chen pretended not to hear.
Cao Jinse didn’t ask further.
Although it was a joke, at first, she might have thought he was quite "innocent," but today, he had beco smoother and more scheming, and she couldn’t guess what he was planning.
Moreover, his achievents had even surpassed hers; she wasn’t in a position to criticize.
"As long as you know what you’re doing."
"Always plan for the worst, so any outco will still be bearable."
Cao Jinse fell silent, then said, "I should learn from you."
"Forget learning, give so advice."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out his phone, swiped a few tis, then placed it on the desk and pushed it over.
"What is it?"
Cao Jinse was puzzled.
Jiang Chen signaled with his eyes, "Take a look."
Cao Jinse picked up the phone.
On the screen was a photo.
Or more accurately, a painting.
The painting was very realistic, under the harsh weather with snow and wind, an electric tricycle was parked on the roadside, and a courier in uniform was carrying parcels under each arm, walking down the delivery road.
The hardship of grassroots workers was vividly depicted.
"The painting is not bad."
Cao Jinse looked up.
"I also think it’s well done, true to life. This painting was specially commissioned by Speed’s chief human resources officer as a New Year’s gift for Speed."
The courier in the painting was indeed wearing Speed’s uniform, easily recognizable as a front-line delivery person for Speed.
As one of the country’s major e-comrce giants, Speed’s biggest competitive advantage was its logistics system.
—which relied on tens of thousands of frontline couriers.
This was Speed’s greatest asset.
When Jiang Chen chose to invest in Speed, it was partly for this reason.
While other e-comrce giants chose to outsource their transportation to save ti, energy, and cost, Speed stood out by integrating tens of thousands of grassroots couriers into its welfare system.
Speed may not be the most powerful e-comrce platform at the mont, but undoubtedly, its logistics business held an indisputable top tier recognition in the e-comrce industry.
"Did Niu Jili show this to you?"
Cao Jinse handed the phone back.
"You haven’t seen it before?"
Jiang Chen asked, taking back the phone.
Cao Jinse shook her head.
Although the Great Wall had beco a major backer for Speed, don’t forget that the Great Wall was only part of Princess Cao’s enterprise.
For a secondary or tertiary company’s internal affairs, there’s no way the boss of the main company would know every single detail.
"This painting is widely circulated now."
Cao Jinse looked puzzled.
Jiang Chen continued, "Do you know the title of this painting?"
Of course, Cao Jinse didn’t know.
"Speed Won at the Gym," Jiang Chen answered himself.
"What?"
Cao Jinse seed not to hear clearly.
"Speed Won at the Gym."
Jiang Chen repeated, further explaining, "When Speed’s Chief Human Resources Officer commissioned the artist to paint this, the the proposed was Speed Won at the Gym, requesting the painting to showcase Speed’s won and Speed’s style."
"The painting only has couriers, where are Speed’s won?"
Cao Jinse asked instinctively.
Since the the was [Speed Won at the Gym], why was the painting completely unrelated?
"Speed Won at the Gym."
Jiang Chen replied.
Cao Jinse was speechless, then suddenly started laughing inexplicably and then comnted, "Good at finding people. This artist’s artistic accomplishnt is indeed high."
It seed she really wasn’t aware.
"What’s wrong with Speed?"
Even though it faced setbacks, Speed was once a trillion-dollar company. For a company of that level, unless it encountered serious issues, such a satirical painting wouldn’t be circulated on a large scale.
