The next day, the morning's radiance illuminated the earth.
Jin Ye went to the company right on time, and the three children were sent to kindergarten by the driver.
After Su Ding had finished her makeup and dressing, she also went to Ding Xia, overseeing the renovation progress. She had to admit that Wen Yang, the lobby manager left by Xin Jiaer, was indeed very reliable.
He had been handed the tasks of renovation and recruitment just yesterday, and he had already started working on them.
"Boss Su, the store's renovation should be completed within a week. I've also posted the recruitment needs on relevant job platforms. I'll personally screen a batch of candidates before bringing them to you," Wen Yang said with a smile, handling these matters with great ease and skill.
Su Ding nodded, "Thank you, you've been a great help. Jiaer said before that your work ability is very strong, and seeing it now, it's true. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to manage these few days."
"You're too kind, Boss Su. Jiaer and I are friends, and you are my boss, so of course, I must do my best," Wen Yang replied politely. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jiaer in a while. Once this store opens, Jiaer will definitely come to support it. She is quite good to her friends."
Su Ding smiled and said, "Yes, Jiaer is indeed very good. By the way, Wen Yang, were you classmates with Jiaer before?"
"Hmm? Yes, hehe." Wen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "More than just classmates, we were childhood sweethearts too, hahaha. It's just that my family moved away from Jiangcheng later, and our contact became less frequent."
Su Ding observed Wen Yang's reaction and felt a touch of emotion. Could it be that Wen Yang had feelings for Jiaer? She shook her head, smiling, "So that's how it is. No wonder Jiaer praised you so highly to me. Wen Yang, I might not be able to come to the store often in the future, so I'll be relying on you to manage everything diligently."
"Boss Su, it's all my responsibility," Wen Yang said with a chuckle and soon went back to busy himself with the store's matters.
Su Ding also returned to her boss's lounge and began using her computer to write down some issues to consider after the store opened, making notes in advance. Time passed quickly.
During this time, Xin Jiaer called. She sounded very happy, and Su Ding could tell she was at a film set again.
"Ding ding, Zhi Qiao's concert is in three days. Why don't you and CEO Jin come and join us? He said we could have dinner together." Su Ding remembered Xin Jiaer mentioning it last time. Xue Zhi Qiao was meeting them as Xin Jiaer's boyfriend, which was equivalent to announcing their relationship on social media.
She immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell Jin Ye later and have him clear his schedule in advance."
Xin Jiaer giggled and said, "Mhm, mhm, I've already got the tickets, three of them. I'll send them to you by express delivery tonight."
"Okay, we'll be there as promised," Su Ding said with a smile, and then Bai Ruobing's call came through.
"I have to go, I have another call," Su Ding said, switching to Bai Ruobing's call. She asked seriously, "What's up?"
"President Su, Guo Tao is still being held at the police station, but it seems he has quite a strong background. Uncle has some influence and has been working to help him these past few days," Bai Ruobing reported. "Additionally, Xie Shanshan's injury assessment report is out, but the police believe that Guo Tao's actions were to some extent provoked by Xie Shanshan. Xie Shanshan is also suspected of instigating trouble. From this perspective, the police's recommendation is mediation."
Su Ding frowned, "Okay, I understand. Continue to keep an eye on it, and I'll think about it." After hanging up the phone, her expression became rather serious. She wasn't particularly close to Xie Shanshan; in fact, there were even some rifts between them. However, the nature of Guo Tao beating her to a pulp was something she found utterly detestable.
How should she handle this... Su Ding was very conflicted. What Xie Shanshan did was wrong, but Guo Tao beating her severely was equally inhumane. Perhaps mediation would be the best course of action? However, after mediation, would Guo Tao easily let Xie Shanshan go?
