Chapter 774: Something Big is About to Happen Again
A few days later, Zhang Sui returned to China from the United States, looking travel-worn. She had been summoned back by her boss. Zhang Sui knew very well that unless it was something very important, he would usually just say it over the phone or hold a video conference. It seemed that her boss was up to something big again.
After years of hard work, Zhang Sui has become quite wealthy. Because her boss is very generous with money, Zhang Sui's net worth is now over a billion US dollars! She is definitely a billionaire.
Based on Zhang Sui's outstanding performance in the financial and venture capital markets, many of the world's top investment banks, wealth funds, and sovereign wealth funds have extended offers to her, and the treatment she receives is unprecedented.
Executives from headhunting firms specializing in recruiting high-end financial talent, such as Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Spencer, would frequently invite her to dinner or send her all sorts of gifts—a wide variety of things—all in an effort to get her to agree to switch employers. As long as Zhang Sui nodded, these headhunting firms would receive a hefty headhunting fee, so this expense was nothing to them.
But Zhang Sui herself is well aware that she is just a senior operator. In terms of strategic decision-making regarding industry development, financial trends, and global economic development trends, she is far inferior to her boss. The reason she has been able to achieve what she has today over the years is entirely due to the strategic decisions instructed to her by her boss.
Another reason is that her boss is her savior. But that alone is not enough to keep Zhang Sui in Changhong Capital. The reason she has been able to stay in her current position is the result of several factors.
Because she knew that once she left her boss, her new employer would soon discover that she wasn't as capable as they thought, and at most she was just a senior trader.
Moreover, her boss has never shortchanged her in terms of money. Based on these factors alone, only a fool would want to switch jobs and change employers.
Therefore, after landing, Zhang Sui went directly to the Guangda Real Estate Building located at the end of Century Avenue on Lujiazui Ring Road.
Gao Song, who was busy in his office, was taken aback when he saw Zhang Sui, and then stood up to greet her.
"Mr. Zhang, you've arrived!"
Zhang Sui politely asked, "Is the boss here?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go and inform them for you right away." Gao Song didn't dare to delay and immediately went to inform them.
Zhang Sui nodded slightly in thanks: "Then I'll have to trouble Minister Gao!"
Gao Song's office was right next to Huang Xiaochuan's office. Gao Song got up and walked a few steps to the door of Huang Xiaochuan's office. He knocked on the door, and after hearing the voice inside, he pushed the door open.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Zhang from Changhong has arrived."
Huang Xiaochuan, who was processing a pile of documents, looked up. He hadn't expected Zhang Sui to arrive so quickly!
He instructed Gao Song, "Please let her in!"
Gao Song nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Huang!"
Upon seeing Zhang Sui, Huang Xiaochuan's first words were: "Why don't you take a rest? You can come see me tomorrow!"
Zhang Sui laughed and said, "I'm already used to working from dawn till dusk. Besides, since boarding the plane, all I've done is eat and sleep, so I'm well rested."
In fact, Zhang Sui concealed the truth. She was not idle on the plane. She had a lot of work to do. During the more than ten-hour flight, she only slept for a few hours.
Huang Xiaochuan scrutinized Zhang Sui, then said with displeasure, "Look at you, you've got dark circles under your eyes. Go to the hotel and get some sleep, then come see me tomorrow!"
He then instructed Gao Song, "Take her to the Kempinski Hotel, and come back after she's in her room."
"Okay, Mr. Huang!" Gao Song smiled and accepted the easy task.
"Mr. Zhang, please!"
"Boss!" Zhang Sui wanted to hold on a little longer.
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Go to the hotel and rest. I don't want to talk to you about anything today!"
"Alright then, boss! I'll come see you again tomorrow!"
Zhang Sui had no choice but to leave the office with Gao Song, and the group headed to the hotel.
The hotel had already been booked; it was the Kempinski Hotel, located on Lujiazui Ring Road, alongside the Guangda Real Estate Building.
Following his boss's instructions, Gao Song booked the Kempinski Hotel's presidential suite for Zhang Sui. Located on the 27th floor of the hotel, it was a luxurious suite of about 150 square meters with an unobstructed 180-degree view of the Huangpu River.
This is not even the best suite in this hotel. The best suite in this hotel is the Royal Suite, which is larger and more luxurious.
The main reason for arranging Zhang Sui to stay here is that it is close to the Guangda Real Estate Building, and the environment and living experience are the best, which is conducive to Zhang Sui getting a good rest.
After escorting Zhang Sui to her room, Gao Song told her about tomorrow's schedule: "Ms. Zhang, please get some rest. I'll pick you up again at 11:30 tomorrow morning. Mr. Huang wants you to have lunch with him."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Minister Gao!"
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. Please rest! I'll take my leave now!" Gao Song said goodbye to Zhang Sui in a humble yet respectful manner.
After Gao Song left, Zhang Sui said to her entourage, "Don't call me for dinner. From now until 10 a.m. tomorrow, you are free to do as you please. This is a very beautiful city with lots of delicious food. Go and experience it!"
"Yes, boss!" the group that came with Zhang Sui replied in unison.
After the door closed, Zhang Sui walked to the French windows, crossed her arms, and quietly admired the scenery of the Huangpu River outside the window.
From here, you can also clearly see the Guangda Real Estate Building and the Pudong International Financial Center, which is under construction across the street. It's a large-scale commercial complex consisting of Grade A office buildings, a high-end shopping mall, an international luxury hotel, and luxury serviced apartments. The entire project has a construction area of 400,000 square meters and a total cost of nearly US$1.5 billion.
Once completed, it will become a new landmark building in Pudong. The developer of this massive commercial complex is Guangda Real Estate Group, meaning that the commercial complex under construction also belongs to its owner.
Zhang Sui was very familiar with this project, as Changhong Capital had also invested some of its funds.
At that moment, Huang Xiaochuan was in his office talking to Yu Xiang.
Over the phone, Yu Xiang instructed the man, "I'll be heading over with Xiaodong and Xiaoduo in a bit. You should go early too, understand?"
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his watch: "Don't worry! I'm getting ready to leave now."
Today is Yu Wei's son Yu Chengping's tenth birthday. Yu Wei had already told him that they would have a small banquet at home to celebrate together. There was no big banquet, just a family gathering for a meal. They didn't even go to a restaurant, because they were afraid that someone with ulterior motives would take the opportunity to give gifts.
There was no other way. As Yu Wei's position rose, his power also increased, and too many people wanted to curry favor with him. He had to be careful!
