Interview and Fascination Interlude

 As an Internet unicorn group with extremely broad business, Douyin's high-level structure is actually very complicated. At the top is the board of directors, and below is a group of more than 70 senior executives headed by the CEO. They are in charge of various business sectors such as Douyin, film editing, e-commerce live broadcast, advertising, novel headlines, and life services.

  (Insert: The equity structure and personnel relationships behind the Douyin Group in the real world are far more complicated than they appear. We are in a parallel world, and the settings will be as simple as possible to serve the plot. I hope everyone will not take it too seriously~)

  As an e-commerce live broadcast department Qi Lingtong, the vice president of the company, seems to be just the second-in-command of one of the departments, but in fact he is also one of the real executives. He is the target of countless people. Ordinary people work hard all their lives. If they can reach his position, they can already be praised. It is called the shining lintel.

  But at this time, in the elevator dedicated to senior executives, Qi Lingtong could only stand aside because there were two senior figures in the middle who were ranked among the top twenty.

  The wealthy woman in the middle is none other than Ms. Jin Lu, one of the executive directors of the Douyin Group's board of directors, whom Zhou Wang has met once.

  Next to her stood another man in his thirties or forties, with high-end rimless glasses and a capable and calm face. His name was Zhang Xuan, and he was the secretary of the board of directors.

  The so-called secretary to the board of directors is different from the general secretary to the chairman. His main duties are to be responsible for the disclosure of company information externally, and internally to prepare for board meetings and general meetings of shareholders, and to keep meeting minutes and documents. He is directly responsible to the board of directors.

  In normal corporate personnel establishment, the secretary of the board of directors is a serious senior manager of the company, and only members of the board of directors can issue orders to him.

  In other words, Zhang Xuan's ranking is also ahead of Qi Lingtong.

  ... Speaking of which, after understanding this knowledge, in Zhou Wang's mind, when he was qualified to form a group company, this position belonged to Xu Wenqian.

  As for Jiang Qingkui, he really hopes that the other party can replace him as CEO.

  Even if he can integrate the memory fragments of his "other self" in the future, his abilities and vision will definitely make a qualitative leap, but Zhou Wang's ambition is not to become a business tycoon, it's too tiring, too tiring.

  They do their jobs, enjoy their lives, and do some... well, it's perfect anyway.

  With the two big bosses Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan by his side, Qi Lingtong naturally became a marginal figure, but there was some confusion on his face at this time.

  He was presiding over a department meeting and assigning tasks to a group of middle managers with an annual salary of millions. Jin Lu called and said that an important person was visiting and asked him to accompany him.

  Qi Lingtong was puzzled...Who is so arrogant?

  With the current status of Douyin Group, even an ordinary official figure would not need two members of the board of directors to come forward to receive him. If he is a higher-level boss, there will definitely be an advance notice, and it will not appear that So rushed.

  At this time, Jin Lu caught a glimpse of Qi Lingtong's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Don't guess, he's an acquaintance of yours... Otherwise, why do you think I had to call you Mr. Qi?" "

  An acquaintance?"

  Qi Lingtong became more and more confused. I was very puzzled. Among the acquaintances I knew, no one seemed to have such a big air!

  However, Jin Lu obviously wanted to satisfy her own evil taste at this time, so Qi Lingtong wisely did not ask further questions, since the answer would be revealed soon.

  Soon they arrived on the first floor, and a group of seven or eight people, including their assistants and secretaries, got out of the elevator and came to the front desk, where they were waiting.

  Wu Lili and Xu Lingyue, who were standing behind the front desk, became cautious when they saw so many big bosses appearing. Xu Lingyue, in particular, was even more shocked...

  She had only been with them for more than a month. Because senior executives can use the special elevator connecting the parking lot, among the people standing here, she has actually met only one Qi Lingtong.

  Members of the group's board of directors, such as Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan, were too distant to her. If Wu Lili hadn't whispered an explanation on the side, she might not have been able to recognize them all.

  ...

  At the same time, in the open-air parking lot of Douyin Group, the black Audi A6L slowly parked in the parking space.

  Jiang Qingkui got out of the car first and quickly opened the car door for Zhou Wang. When she met Zhou Wang's half-smiling gaze, Jiang Qingkui with slightly red cheeks turned her head away.

  Snap!

  A weak voice sounded, and when the astonished Jiang Qingkui turned around, Zhou Wang had already walked forward as if nothing had happened, "Forget it this time, next time you dare to show off to my boss... don't get beaten up."

  He was shocked and ashamed . Jiang Qingkui looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one around her. However, when she heard Zhou Wang's muttering, she blushed instantly.

  What is "take off the fight"?

  ...That's not right, why does it look like I've made some mistake!

  It's obviously your own problem, you stinky gangster.

  After reacting, Jiang Qingkui became angry. Just thinking of Zhou Wang's cart of "gifts worth two million" and Ms. Li Xiaolei's uncontrollable voice of joy on the phone, Jiang Qingkui sighed slightly.

  It seemed that this time, I really had no choice but to forgive him.

  "Qingkui!"

  Jiang Qingkui, who was still standing there in shock, suddenly heard Zhou Wang's shout in the distance. She looked up and saw that Zhou Wang had joined a group of people waiting at the exit of the parking lot. She quickly calmed down, Put yourself into working mode, and then walked over quickly.

  "...Hahaha, Lawyer Qi, I have long admired your name!"

  When Jiang Qingkui came closer, she saw Zhou Wangzheng laughing, and a man wearing a professional skirt, with medium-long hair, a charming figure, but quite facial features. Beautiful woman with ascetic aura keeps holding hands.

  The woman also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her plump forehead and fair face made her look particularly young, but Jiang Qingkui knew that this woman was at least in her thirties, because the depth and vicissitudes in her eyes would not lie.

  "Come on, Qingkui, let me introduce you."

  Zhou Wang smiled and said, "This is Ms. Qi Jiayi, the senior partner of Yunshangyun Law Firm Beidu Office, and the barrister behind her is her assistant team... Qi "Lawyer, this is my secretary, Jiang Qingkui."

  "Hello, Miss Jiang."

  Qi Jiayi smiled and shook hands with Jiang Qingkui. While Jiang Qingkui was chatting with her, she was becoming more and more confused.

  She vaguely knew that Zhou Wang had some kind of long-term cooperation contract with Yunshangyun, a nationally renowned law firm. After all, when Zhou Wang needed relevant legal services before, he always went to this law firm. I also asked this law firm to help me with all the charity fund procedures.

  But why did Zhou Wang invite Yun Shangyun's lawyer to Douyin Group?

  Jiang Qingkui hoped that Zhou Wang could at least give her a hint, otherwise she would look like a dull secretary...

  But what made Jiang Qingkui unhappy was that when she gave Zhou Wang a hint, Zhou Wang didn't look at her at all. Just stared at Qi Jiayi in a daze.

  Jiang Qingkui gritted his teeth...

  I admit that she is very beautiful and has great temperament, but there is no need for you to have such obvious dementia, right?

  In fact, she really misunderstood Zhou Wang.

  The reason why Zhou Wanghui was stunned was because Qi Jiayi's temperament, appearance, and those gold-rimmed glasses suddenly reminded him of another woman.

  I met Dr. Zhong Huilan at the high school homecoming event, the female doctor from Jiahui Hospital in Shanghai who also wore gold-rimmed glasses.

  The facial features of the two have some similarities. If it weren't for their different surnames, Zhou Wang would have wanted to ask them if they were biological sisters.

  Of course, now that he is used to seeing beautiful women, Zhou Wang's self-control ability has improved. He quickly retracted his gaze and walked forward first. At the same time, he asked:

  "Lawyer Qi, is today's process complicated? What do I need to do?"

  "Mr. Zhou, if it doesn't feel awkward, you can just call me Jiayi."

  Qi Jiayi stroked her hair beside her ears charmingly and said, "Most of the documents and contracts have been completed. I have signed on your behalf, including the most important share purchase agreement, etc., so today's process is very simple. You only need to meet with the members of the board of directors and sign some internal documents to ensure that the shareholder list is updated... ..."

  While Qi Jiayi was explaining, Jiang Qingkui, who was listening attentively, had her red lips slightly opened and fell into confusion.

  What did she hear?

  Shareholding agreement? Shareholder register?

  Wait a minute, wait a minute...

  Jiang Qingkui stopped in time and looked up at the building in front of her. At the top, the musical note logo and the two characters "Douyin" were clearly visible.

  Jiang Qingkui felt like her head was buzzing. She had many questions to ask Zhou Wang, and the biggest one was...

  Mr. Zhou, are we in the wrong place?

  After all, although these are Douyin Group buildings, there are also Shanhuo Engine, Guaxi Video, etc. nearby. It is difficult to tell which company Zhou Wang and Qi Jiayi were discussing.

  Before Jiang Qingkui could sort out her messy thoughts, a group of people had already arrived at the door of the building, and a group of people came out of the hall to greet them.

  "President Zhou, we meet again."

  "Director Jin, how can I let you come to the first floor to greet me in person? This is too grand..." Zhou Wang laughed and walked up to shake hands with the leading woman.

  Originally, although Zhou Wang and Jin Lu met at the Peninsula Furongli restaurant that night, they were not familiar with each other because they had not spoken to each other. However, yesterday, Zhou Wang had already spoken to her on the phone in advance, so the two sides also had a mutual understanding. Understanding it in advance is not too unfamiliar at this time.

  "Mr. Zhou, let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Xuan, secretary of the board of directors. This is your old acquaintance, Qi Lingtong. Mr. Qi, I don't think you need any further introduction..." He

  politely called Zhang Xuan. After saying hello, when he turned to Qi Lingtong, Zhou Wang found it quite interesting to see the other party's confused look.

  "Lao Qi, what's wrong, you don't recognize me anymore?"

  Zhou Wang was really grateful to Qi Lingtong, if he hadn't used [Ezreal's Treasure Map] to "stick" with him when he was in Hangzhou. After a moment, it was impossible for him to appear here at this moment.

  Of course, from Qi Lingtong's perspective, it was difficult for him to understand why Zhou Wang appeared here.

  It's not that Zhou Wang is not qualified to visit Douyin Group, but how can Zhou Wang get Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan to greet him together?

  "No, Mr. Zhou, you... I..."

  Seeing that Qi Lingtong was already a little at a loss, Jin Lu stopped teasing him and revealed the answer at the right time.

  "Mr. Zhou, today is your first visit to the company as a shareholder. Time is tight and we have not made any good preparations. If there is anything that makes you dissatisfied, please bear with me."

  Jin Lu will not be there . At this time, I went to explain something to Qi Lingtong. She just looked around and said with a smile.

  When Zhou Wang responded politely, Qi Lingtong's eyes widened instantly.

  Shareholders... Zhou Wang?

  Zhou Wang...is Douyin's shareholder?

  Qi Lingtong thought about countless possibilities, but did not think about it in this aspect.

  Douyin is not Wuyou Media, and its equity cannot be bought simply by money. The overseas company Tiktok has gone through nine rounds of financing, and the capital that can participate in it is not an industry giant, let alone the parent body of Douyin Group. Equity...

  This is simply not an area that ordinary people can touch.

  While Qi Lingtong's heart was turbulent, Jiang Qingkui, who had finally confirmed something, was also very uneasy.

  Her heart was beating violently, not only because Zhou Wang quietly did something that shocked her jaw, but also because of a conversation Zhou Wang had with her not long ago.

  At that time, Zhou Wang was mysterious and said that he might send her to serve as a board member of a large group company. At that time, Jiang Qingkui still thought it was a bit funny. It was so big, how big could it be...

  But if Zhou Wang was talking about Dou As for the sound group...

  this is already a position that Jiang Qingkui can't even imagine.

  "Mr. Zhou, please, let me take you on a general tour of our headquarters first..."

  At this time, after the two sides finished their greetings, Jin Lu stepped aside and made an invitation gesture to Zhou Wang.

  Zhou Wang nodded and smiled, but found that Jiang Qingkui was still dazed beside him. He couldn't help but touch her lightly. Jiang Qingkui came back to his senses and only saw Zhou Wangyun glance at him lightly, and then walked forward.

  Although Zhou Wang didn't say anything, Jiang Qingkui clearly understood the meaning in his eyes -

  look at your ignorant look, what's wrong with you!

  Jiang Qingkui couldn't help but pursed her red lips. Although she wanted to protest, she couldn't help but look at the man who walked towards the bright hall with a wind in his back among the crowds of people. I don't admit it...

  Zhou Wang at this moment really made her look a little handsome.

  She has no interest in abdominal muscles, nor is she obsessed with handsome facial features, but she has no resistance when faced with Zhou Wang like this.

  ...

  "Ah!"

  Just when Zhou Wang walked into the hall accompanied by Jin Lu and others, Wu Lili and Xu Lingyue, who were still standing with a cordial smile at the front desk, finally saw clearly that they were surrounded The appearance of the young man in the middle.

  Xu Lingyue was just stunned, but Wu Lili subconsciously let out a scream and became extremely excited in an instant.

  Due to the angle of view, they could not see Zhou Wang's face clearly before. They could only vaguely see that the distinguished guest whom Director Jin Lu personally greeted seemed to be very young.

  Until Zhou Wang revealed his true appearance, Wu Lili couldn't believe that her idol who licked the screen every day actually walked into reality, so she couldn't control herself immediately.

  This unexpected scream naturally attracted the attention of the group.

  Zhou Wang was the first to turn his head and look in surprise, and the others also stopped.

  Sister Zhang, who was already worried that something would go wrong and was helping out at the front desk, saw Wu Lili losing her composure. She was frightened and angry and walked over quickly, scolding in a low voice: "Wu Lili, you are crazy, what are you doing? "

  After Wu Lili screamed, she realized that she had made a mistake. She was a little confused at first, but then Wu Lili thought of something and she was no longer so panicked.

  She quickly turned aside Xu Lingyue, who was still dazed, "Yueyue, it's Zhou Wang... That, Sister Zhang, that's Xu Lingyue's friend, so I couldn't control it just now, I'm sorry!"

  " Xu Lingyue's friend?"

  Sister Zhang was slightly surprised. Given her level, even if she didn't know Zhou Wang's identity, she could tell from the reception that he must be a very important person.

  The other party actually knows the intern Xu Lingyue?

  When Sister Zhang was in doubt, Wu Lili, who was no longer afraid, urged Xu Lingyue beside her with some excitement, "Yueyue, he is looking at us...has he recognized you? Why don't you still?" Come over and say hello?"

  Xu Lingyue, who had already become extremely guilty after reacting, saw Zhou Wang stop and look around in surprise. When Wu Lili said this, she He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

  Did Zhou Wang really recognize himself?

  Thinking like this, Xu Lingyue subconsciously smiled at Zhou Wang.

  What surprised her even more was that Zhou Wang actually nodded and smiled at her.

  Xu Lingyue, who could no longer hold back her excitement, was brewing her words in her heart. When she was about to walk out of the front desk, Zhou Wang nodded and smiled at Sister Zhang and Wu Lili beside him, then withdrew his gaze and talked to Jin Lu next to him. Smiling, he continued to move forward.

  The smile on Xu Lingyue's face froze, and her body froze in place.

  "Huh? Didn't you say that you know Xu Lingyue, but you don't look familiar at all..."

  When Sister Zhang on the side asked Wu Lili with a sneer, Xu Lingyue looked at Zhou Wang who was walking away, and her whole body People have been overwhelmed by huge disappointment and unspeakable embarrassment.

  Especially, until Zhou Wang and his group disappeared into the elevator hall, she didn't wait for the expected look back, which made her even more embarrassed.

  "I, I'm going to the toilet..."

  She couldn't hear clearly what Sister Zhang and Wu Lili were saying beside her, so she could only say something in a panic, and ran away with her head lowered.

  ...

  On the other side, Zhou Wang suddenly said "Huh" until he entered the special elevator.

  "What's wrong?"

  Jiang Qingkui asked curiously.

  "Nothing, it's just the girl at the front desk just now. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before..."

  "Oh, she can't be good-looking. We, Mr. Zhou, all look familiar, right?"

  Jiang Qingkui rolled her eyes.

  "...Forget it, it must be my misunderstanding."

  Zhou Wang felt that something was wrong with Jiang Qingkui recently, and he actually learned to be jealous...

  But he was too lazy to dwell on it, waved his hand, and skipped the topic.
