Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Yao Na looked at this month’s report and couldn’t help but hum a song.

Zhang Zejun came looking for Zhang Yu and heard her singing from afar, knowing that business must be good and making lots of money.

When he entered the office, he saw Zhang Yu looking at the report, so happy it seemed she might fly.

"Aunt, is business good?" He had already heard many people talk about how good Aifen’s skincare products were.

If she wasn’t worried about people accusing her of showing off, she’d really want to boast about it.

Every time he heard someone mention the Aifen brand skincare products, he’d pay close attention to hear their opinions.

Up till now, everyone’s comments were positive, which made Zhang Zejun very happy.

Zhang Yu nodded, "Business is indeed exceptionally good."

"If we get another distributor, I estimate we might have to expand production."

The initial plan was to take a year to slowly open up the market in Harbor City. Who would’ve thought business would boom in just two months, even attracting Southeast Asian distributors.

She didn’t know whether there’d be other distributors in the future, but preparations had to be made.

Another thing, "We really need to establish our R&D team."

Of course, Zhang Yu was also busy, previously flipping through old books left by her mother and discovering some formulas, which based on the descriptions, should also be skincare related.

She was just curious why she had never heard family mention them, and why there were these formulas at home.

They hadn’t used them before, which puzzled Zhang Yu, and Zhang Han didn’t understand either, they were both completely baffled.

But since there were specific formulas, they could try them out first. If they were good, they’d be slightly improved and then launched for experimentation.

Zhang Yu had already decided these formulas would be Aifen’s flagship products.

This headhunting project, though, seemed very challenging to Zhang Zejun. "There aren’t any good skincare products in Harbor City either."

"Some brands previously were from the Mainland." If they were to headhunt, they had to go to the Mainland.

Zhang Yu understood the implication in his words, whether they should go to the Mainland for recruitment. After thinking for a moment, "If there are channels, it’s not impossible."

"They must be highly capable." She initially thought that if it didn’t work out, when going to America she’d directly recruit from there.

Recruiting from large skincare brands had a low success rate, as their new company couldn’t compare to large enterprises in terms of management or prospects.

Zhang Yu targeted small-scale cosmetic brands. Perhaps their capabilities were not great, but it didn’t matter. Her company was also small, and they could grow together.

Zhang Zejun nodded, "Alright, I’ll go and ask around."

"By the way, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Yu knew that at this time, if Zhang Zejun was looking for her, there must be something going on, but she didn’t know what it could be.

He almost forgot the main matter, so he brought up the invitation letter received today from the Securities Exchange Association, "I really don’t understand why such an association would send me an invitation letter."

Was it because he was dabbling in the stock market? But just entering the stock market couldn’t be the reason for their invitation.

Zhang Yu could make a guess or two about why they would send an invitation letter to Zhang Zejun.

"Maybe they have a few good projects on hand and wonder if they can be operated."

"Except they might be worried if you would cause a stir and spread things around then."

"They might as well take this opportunity to ease relations with you."

"I don’t know the exact reason, I’m just guessing," Zhang Yu added.

In fact, she felt this possibility was quite high, otherwise why would they send this invitation letter to Zhang Zejun.

So, is that it? Zhang Zejun thought about it and couldn’t think of a better explanation, so he accepted it.

"Aunt, are you going?" Zhang Zejun knew such associations generally attended with their other half or partner.

Zhang Zejun currently had no girlfriend and planned to invite Zhang Yu to attend together.

What? He actually planned to take her to such a gathering, if possible, she really didn’t want to go.

Listening to a bunch of people bluffing, boasting, in Zhang Yu’s view, there’s not a single true word.

At such gatherings, you really have to be cautious, otherwise, you could easily fall into a trap.

When Zhang Zejun heard that Zhang Yu didn’t want to attend the gathering, he wasn’t very surprised. Back in Shencheng, his aunt was notorious for not wanting to attend gatherings, and it wasn’t likely she’d change her mind after moving to Harbor City.

Zhang Zejun thought for a moment, "Aunt, maybe this gathering isn’t quite right?"

Zhang Yu looked up at him, puzzled, not understanding why he would ask that.

"I just feel, somehow such gatherings don’t suit me too well." Zhang Zejun paused, "After all, I’m not a finance person."

Right, exactly, before he always felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what.

Zhang Yu watched as Zhang Zejun exhaled deeply, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "If you feel you’re not a finance person, so you’re embarrassed to go, then I must tell you, you really don’t need to worry at all."

"Even if they are finance people so what, can their stock market earnings compare to yours?"

Zhang Zejun shook his head, he had only learned about stock trading profitability by asking a friend from the bank.

"So, what do they have to look down on you for? If they ask you technical questions, just ask them about their most proud operation."

"Then ask them how much they made for themselves or their employers."

Zhang Yu had plenty of experience dealing with these so-called professionals.

"Show your skill in rebuttal." She had witnessed Zhang Zejun’s sharp verbal skills before.

"Generally speaking, they wouldn’t trouble you unless someone really short-sighted seeks trouble."

Such people, Zhang Yu estimated, would have below-average intelligence.

"Just treat it as an opportunity to meet more people." Zhang Yu felt Zhang Zejun needed to go out and see, participate more in such gatherings.

There was no choice. She didn’t want to participate in gatherings, Zhang Han attended gatherings based on who hosted it, who would attend, and what the theme was.

In any case, if something was off, this young master wouldn’t want to go.

The family couldn’t avoid attending gatherings to meet more people, and the best candidate now was Zhang Zejun.

Of course, Zhang Zejun understood why Zhang Yu encouraged him to attend gatherings. There was no choice, as he was the family’s current mainstay.

"It has to be Xiao Ji to stand up and take the lead." Ah, there are too few people in the family, "Xiao En said he is very interested in economics and plans to pursue it as a future career."

"Little Tao said he wants to go into medical research."

"If Xiao Ji wants to study medicine too." Zhang Zejun really thought it was a waste. With so many family businesses needing someone to manage.

The result was that no one wanted to take over, and Zhang Zejun really felt exhausted.
