A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 35 Onboarding

"Mr. Chao, this is something Chairman Tang asked me to give to you." General Manager Sun handed a folder to Chao Bufan.

Chao Bufan politely accepted the package, opened it, and took out the contents to look at them. There was an ID card, a university diploma (he was a graduate student!), and a special military pass. After looking at them, Chao Bufan put the package away.

Sun Jun had a kind face and a friendly smile. After sitting down, he looked Chao Bufan up and down again, and then chuckled and said, "Mr. Chao, Chairman Tang gave me a general overview of your situation. Not bad, not bad. To have such a promising future at such a young age really makes me, who is about to retire, feel ashamed!"

Tang Guoqiang arranged for Chao Bufan to become the president of the Tang Group. He only told a few key figures in the company, including Sun Jun. Tang Guoqiang deliberately let slip a few details. For ordinary people, even knowing just a little bit about Chao Bufan's past would leave them speechless with shock.

“Mr. Sun,” Chao Bufan said casually, taking a sip of his tea, “please don’t make fun of me. If you say that, then I, Chao Bufan, will really be ashamed.”

Sun Jun laughed and said, "Not at all, these are my heartfelt words."

Chao Bufan said, "Mr. Sun, I'm here to work, aren't I?"

Sun Jun understood the implication in Chao Bufan's words, knowing that Chao Bufan didn't want to dwell on the past, so he went straight to the point. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chao, then I'll get straight to the point. Our Tang Group currently operates in five core sectors: communications, electronics, food, apparel, and real estate..."

Chao Bufan didn't care about any of that "sectors" nonsense; he just wanted to know what he was supposed to do. So he smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, just tell me what I need to do every day. As for other things, you can tell me about them another day!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jun smiled and said, "President Chao, your responsibility is to supervise the production and sales of each department. You can give instructions directly to the directors of each department."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Oh, I understand."

Sun Jun then took out another file folder and said, "Boss Chao, this contains your dormitory key and relevant documents."

Chao Bufan accepted it, then stood up, bowed to Sun Jun in thanks, and turned to leave the office.

Since the place where he lived wasn't far from the company, only about a ten-minute walk, the apartment-style living did excite Chao Bufan a little. He thought to himself: "If only there were beautiful women living in the apartment, then I wouldn't have to worry about being lonely."

The address is room 2205 on the 22nd floor of Haotian Building. Because it is an apartment, there are five rooms on the 22nd floor, but these five rooms share a living room.

Stepping out of the elevator, Chao Bufan took out the first key, opened the door, and went inside. He had expected the lobby to be dirty, but it was surprisingly spotless, with all the furniture and appliances. Except for bedroom 2205, which was closed, the other four bedroom doors were open. It was clear that the owners of these four bedrooms didn't have the habit of closing their doors while at work, and it also suggested that these people had a close relationship. It was currently working hours, so there was no one else in the rooms. Chao Bufan opened the door to room 2205 and went into his bedroom. The bedroom was also spotless, with everything one would expect. However, Chao Bufan didn't think much of it, habitually went to the balcony to check around, then lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

"Lu Tie, I heard that another person has joined our apartment building, is that true?"

"Yes, it's true."

"Then who do you think he could be?"

"How would I know?"

"You guys, just ask Guan Gong and you'll know."

"Oh right, Guan Gong, who's this new guy who came to our apartment?"

"I'm not sure about this either."

"Really? Guan Gong, you're a senior manager in the HR department, you should know this new colleague best, how could you not know?"

"I really don't know much about it. All I know is that two very important people have come to our company: the president and the CEO of the regulatory department."

"seriously?"

"I heard it from my department manager."

"Hey, I heard that Chairman Tang's daughter has graduated from university and has already reported to the company. What do you think, will she become the president or the CEO?"

"I think the president is the most likely candidate. After all, Chairman Tang wouldn't entrust such an important position to an outsider."

"Yeah, that's true."

These four men were named Lü Tie, Li Yong (nicknamed Big Mouth), Guan Tianwei (nicknamed Guan Gong), and Xu Huaiyuan. They were all quite young, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

They are the residents of the other four rooms in Apartment 22. They usually go to work and leave work together, and they have a very good relationship with each other.

When Li Yong returned to his apartment after get off work, he found the door to room 2205 closed. He asked in confusion, "Huh? Guan Gong, didn't we say there was a new colleague in room 2205? Where is he?"

Guan Gong himself was also puzzled. Just as he was about to knock on the door of room 2205, the door opened automatically from the inside, and Chao Bufan appeared before everyone. Lu Tie and the others were all stunned, their eyes clearly showing a hint of surprise. This person seemed to be younger than them. Could he be one of the two heavyweight figures in the company?

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and, to everyone's surprise, first introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Chao Bufan, the newly appointed president of Tang Group."

Chao Bufan dropped a bombshell first, which was exactly what Lü Tie and the others had expected, so they weren't surprised. Lü Tie smiled and said, "Hello, President, my name is Lü Tie, and I'm the director of the company's finance department."

"Hello, my name is Guan Tianwei, also known as Guan Gong, and I am a senior manager in the Human Resources Department."

"Hello, my name is Li Yong, also known as Li Dazui, and I am a senior manager in the marketing department."

"Hello, my name is Xu Huaiyuan, senior supervisor of the technology center."

One director, three senior executives, plus a president—Apartment No. 25 is truly teeming with talent!

After a brief self-introduction, Lü Tie said, "Brothers, it's fate that we can live with the president. Let's give him a round of applause!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The four of them clapped in unison, and then Lü Tie said, "Boss Chao, it's our great honor to be able to live with you! Please have a seat."

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, then sat down on the sofa with Lü Tie and the others. It was clear that these four were all straightforward and easygoing people.
