Octavia looked at his watch. It was a few minutes before six in the afternoon.
He looked at the backbone of the company present and decisively arranged the next tasks.
"Wang Yue, form your team within three days. Is there any problem?"
"Mr. Ming, no problem."
"Gu Zixuan, when will the project evaluation report be available soon?"
"Mr. Ming, I promise to come out next Tuesday."
"In the next month, no matter how the Shanghai headquarters investigates me, if you hear any unfavorable rumors about me, please ignore them. All departments in the Northwest Division fully support Wang Yue's team. As the same saying goes, I am in charge. Do it well and your waist will be straight, do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
After the meeting, Hua Yue and Octavia walked out of the company building and got into his car together.
Fastening his seat belt, Octavia looked at Hua Yue sitting in the passenger seat and asked:
"After my project evaluation report comes out, when will your company go to the meeting to assess the risk level of this project?"
Hua Yue thought for a moment, "I can't guarantee the specific risk level within seven working days at the earliest. I'm not familiar with your industry, so I need a professional to speak."
"Seven working days, that is to say, at least nine days. It will take at least half a month after the assessment level is down and the approval process is entered. Hua Yue, after the investment funds are approved, how long does it usually take for your company to lend money?"
"It will take about half a month to complete the regular procedures."
"Can you shorten it to seven days?"
Hua Yue hesitated for a while, "I'll fight for it, but I can't guarantee it. However, I can get the loan within half a month, provided that your project passes the venture capital investment."
"Don't worry, no professional will let go of the projects I'm optimistic about."
"Octavia, as far as I know, the Hangcheng branch where you currently work has an investment company with whom we have had stable cooperation for many years. Now because of the report, you decided to give up immediately. Isn't it too hasty?"
Octavia looked forward with firm eyes and said without hesitation:
"If you don't use it for me, what's the point of keeping it? Before, I wanted to give Li Zezhong a chance, hoping that he would have a bigger picture, take the company's interests as the starting point, and do a good job in this project. After all, his professional ability is still good. Now that he is seeking death, I will take away his salary."
Hua Yue nodded, "That's right. Being polite first and then fighting is the most benevolent thing. Don't be soft when it's time to take action. Otherwise, being kind to the enemy will be cruel to yourself."
Octavia: "Yes, once I take action, I will make him unable to fight back."
"I will return to Shenzhen tomorrow to comprehensively promote the venture capital evaluation of this project."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Hua Yue."
"Why are you so polite to me?" Hua Yue looked at the road sign, "Are you sending me back?"
Octavia looked at the road ahead and turned on the left turn signal, "Well, I'll take you back first, and then I'll pick up Zhiyi and have dinner at my house."
"Hey, just in time, I'm going to your house too. I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time. I miss them so much. Let's turn around and I'll go pick up Zhiyi with you."
The car turned around ahead.
Before Xu Zhiyi went downstairs, Hua Yue sat in the back seat of the car. The moment she saw Xu Zhiyi walking out of the unit, the corners of her sharp eyes visibly curved up, and her eyes were full of joy.
Hua Yue reacted very quickly and immediately clicked the video button on her phone and pointed it at the two of them.
When Xu Zhiyi saw him, she grinned, called "Brother Octavia" coquettishly, and trotted towards him.
Octavia opened his arms to greet her.
Xu Zhiyi fell into his arms like a little bird, Octavia pecked her lips naturally, and the two embraced each other sweetly.
Octavia kept his arms around her and opened the passenger door for her, "It's cold outside, get in the car first."
In early November, the temperature in the Acropolis has dropped to about 10 degrees, which is more than ten degrees different from the temperature in Hangzhou.
As soon as they got in the car, Xu Zhiyi saw Hua Yue, her mobile phone facing her.
Instantly, she blushed and greeted Hua Yue sheepishly.
After Octavia sat in the driver's seat, Xu Zhiyi glared at him angrily, "Sister Hua Yue is in the car, and you don't even say a word to me."
Before Octavia could speak, Hua Yue smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. You two just kissed and hugged each other. You were as innocent as a high school student. I didn't see any R-rated scenes. You two can make out casually, just treat me as your sweet air."
Through the rearview mirror, Mingrui glanced at Hua Yue, who had an aunt's smile on her face, and said, "I never regarded you as a human being."
Hua Yue's smile faltered, "Hey, Octavia, I don't want to burn bridges like this. I am the matchmaker between you and Zhiyi. Don't forget that we have agreed that you still owe me a favor. Remember to pay it back."
Xu Zhiyi turned back to look at Hua Yue, "Sister Hua Yue, what kind of favor are you doing?"
Seeing Octavia's warning look, Hua Yue winked at her playfully, "Keep it a secret. I'm afraid if I say too much, someone will silence me."
Xu Zhiyi looked at them both, confused.
At this moment, Mingrui asked her: "Zhiyi, have the furniture in the wedding room been finished?"
When Xu Zhiyi heard this, his attention was instantly diverted and his interest became high:
"It was done in one afternoon. My mother and your mother all praised me for my good choice of furniture. The on-site effect is particularly good. If you are free tomorrow, you and Sister Hua Yue can go over and have a look."
It was originally agreed that this afternoon, she and Mingrui would watch the workers assemble and place the wedding room furniture together. Mingrui was busy and said that he would do it tomorrow when he was free.
Xu Zhiyi said no, he was busy with his work, just leave this matter to her.
In the afternoon, Li Zijuan accompanied her to the wedding room, and later Zhou Lan also went there.
The layout of the wedding room was carefully designed by Xu Zhiyi, and she had enough money to support it. Everything she envisioned was realized. Could the on-site effect be bad?
Li Zijuan kept tutting in admiration. Although Zhou Lan didn't say much, it could be seen from her expression that she was quite satisfied.
With Li Zijuan around, Zhou Lan didn't stay long. Before leaving, Xu Zhiyi heard her saying to herself: "After all, I am studying art, so I still have some aesthetics. Well, it's not bad..."
Hearing the affirmation from her future mother-in-law, Xu Zhiyi has been happy until now.
This time we went to Ming's house for dinner, and Hua Yue was there to mediate the atmosphere, which made her feel much more at ease.
After dinner, Octavia and her went directly to Xu's house.
On Saturday night, Xu Cheng rarely had a rest, so he took out the chess set, set up a small table, and the wise men, Weng and his son-in-law, sat in the living room and started playing chess.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't understand this and wasn't interested in it either. She sat on a nearby sofa with Li Zijuan and watched the live video of the wedding room.
Xu Zhian went to work the night shift.
Li Zijuan glanced at Octavia who was focused on playing chess from time to time, and her lips were grinning.
Look at her son-in-law. He needs to be handsome, tall, from a good family background, capable, and has a gentle temper.
The most important thing is to be nice to her girl.
This girl of hers can be regarded as a foolish person.
Over there, Octavia defeated Xu Cheng's army, and Xu Cheng had no choice but to fly like a flying elephant to save the siege. Octavia rolled the car and then attacked, smiling: "Dad, you lose."
When Xu Cheng saw it, he really lost.
The father-in-law laughed even more when he lost, "Okay, let's play another game."
Xu Cheng loves to play chess, but unfortunately no one at home plays with him.
Don't expect that, you two. Xu Zhian has learned a lot about him and is quite interested in him, but he is too stupid and a bad chess player. He will make you more and more angry when you play with him, so it's better not to play.
Now that he has this smart son-in-law by his side, his hobby is finally fulfilled.
The chess game resumed, and Xu Cheng looked at Octavia after firing up the gun, "Octavia, I have something to ask of you."
Octavia stepped forward, raised her head, and looked at him, "Dad, tell me."
Xu Cheng said: "It's a coincidence. If you didn't go back to Acropolis, I wouldn't have thought of you. You just happened to go back to Acropolis. You won't go back to Hangzhou until next Wednesday. Next Tuesday, I will organize a debate competition in the class. I want to invite you. You be a guest and make a few final comments.”
When Xu Zhiyi heard Xu Cheng's words, he was dissatisfied and said:
"Dad, are you just discussing this matter with Brother Octavia? Is there anything I don't understand about this matter? If you don't tell me when I ask, you are really looking down on people."
Xu Cheng looked at Xu Zhiyi with a straight face, "What do you know? Do you know the purpose of inviting Octavia to be a guest?"
Xu Zhiyi raised his chin, "What don't you understand about this? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to use the power of example to educate your students? Brother Octavia, do you think what I said is right?"
Mingrui looked at her with a low laugh, "Zhiyi is right, I hit the nail on the head."
With Mingrui's affirmation, Xu Zhiyi looked proud, stood up from the sofa, looked down at Xu Cheng, "Dad, are you looking down on me? Really?"
Xu Cheng sat up straight, frowned and said angrily:
"You girl, with Octavia backing you up, you dare to challenge Principal Xu. Will you retaliate if you rebel?"
Li Zijuan stood up with a smile, "A-Cheng, don't use your status as principal to pressure others. Just tell me, what my girl said this time is right?"
Xu Cheng glanced at the two women, smiled at each other and said to Li Zijuan, "Yes, your girl is right, I underestimated her."
Xu Zhiyi puffed out his chest and looked arrogant, "Huh, I've become smarter in the past two days, so I shouldn't underestimate it."
Everyone was amused by her.
Xu Cheng got back to business and asked Octavia if he could attend.
Octavia can only spare one hour next Tuesday. Excluding the round trip, she can only stay in class for 10 minutes.
When Xu Cheng heard this, he decided on the spot:
"Enough, these 10 minutes are enough. Your role model has long been ingrained in the hearts of Aicheng College Entrance Examination students. Your appearance for these 10 minutes gives them the opportunity to have close contact with their role models, which is enough to inspire these children to the greatest extent." The fighting spirit is enough.”
That's how it's settled.
Xu Cheng obtained Feng Xuexiang's consent in advance for Octavia to be a guest in the class, and the two of them agreed that they would only know about it and not tell others, lest it spread before people arrived.
Fast forward to Tuesday.
In the afternoon, after finishing the second class and debugging the live broadcast equipment in the school, the debate competition of Aicheng Middle School Grade 1 (20) officially started.
