Chapter 370: Airport greeters

Perhaps it is due to the high-class environment, but whether they are meeting someone at the airport or have just arrived, everyone's speech and behaviour is relatively gentle and polite. Unlike bus or train stations, which not only have unpleasant smells but are also as noisy as a farmers' market.

A soft female voice announced the flight information at a leisurely pace. After collecting the luggage from the conveyor belt, Shi Lu, sales manager of a foreign-invested daily chemical company, pushed the luggage cart, greeted the company's vice president who had just arrived on the plane, and then started to walk towards the exit. 'General Manager Jiang, this way,'

This was his first business trip with a supervisor at this level, so he was very cautious.

Just now, while waiting for the luggage, he saw that there was a young man holding a cardboard sign with the name "General Manager Jiang" written on it.

'Hello, I'm Shi Lu, and this is our company's General Manager Jiang,' Shi Lu said, smiling, as he greeted Feng Yiping.

'Hello, General Manager Jiang, hello, Manager Shi, please come this way,' Feng Yiping, who had transformed into an airport shuttle boy, led the two of them towards the parking lot. 'I'm very sorry, but because quite a few customers have already arrived, our Manager Wang is unable to come and greet you at the airport. He has specifically asked me to express his apologies to you both!'

The Manager Wang he was talking about was the head of the Purchasing Department.

'That's fine,' said General Manager Jiang, who was wearing glasses and had a handkerchief sticking out of the left breast pocket of his suit. Judging by his appearance, he might be a returnee. He smiled and said, 'On a day like today, the company's executives must be extremely busy. We understand.'

'Thank you for your understanding!' Feng Yiping dutifully helped them put the suitcases in the boot, but didn't start the car immediately. "Sorry, Mr. Jiang, there's another flight landing in twenty minutes, and there are two of our partners on board. You may need to wait here for a while. What do you think...?'

Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, but Shi Lu had a comment to make. "Young man, our Mr. Jiang made a special trip here for the meeting, and his schedule is very tight,'

As the salesperson responsible for Youjia, of course he had to fight for better treatment for his boss. This was a matter of face, and also an opportunity for him to show off.

Coming here specially to attend the meeting, isn't he just waiting to meet and communicate with the people from the company later?

'Yes, this is very rude, but the company gave me these instructions. However, if Mr. Jiang can't be delayed, we'll leave right away.'

'It's okay, it's only twenty minutes, no rush, we can wait,' Mr. Jiang said.

Under normal circumstances, an arrangement like this would certainly be considered rude, but today, it is more or less understandable. Besides, the other party always pays for their purchases from our company, so in the popular saying, they are considered to be our god, so we shouldn't go too far.

'By the way, who are those two people?' he asked Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping said the company name, and he smiled, 'It's President Chen, so we should wait even longer. It's fine, you go ahead!'

As Feng Yiping hurriedly ran back to the arrivals area, Shi Lu asked, 'General Jiang, shall I go find a taxi?'

'No need. Nowadays, domestic companies can arrange for this level of etiquette, which is pretty good. Don't be picky. We came here because we value their company, so we shouldn't worry about these small things.'

Shi Lu didn't really want to go and hail a taxi. Those words were more a display of respect for General Manager Jiang than a complaint about the reception arrangements.

It was also thanks to General Manager Jiang that he was flying here for the first time. Usually, he would take the train for dozens of hours before arriving, and Youjia would never arrange for someone to pick him up at the station. He was also aware that the treatment he was receiving today was entirely due to General Manager Jiang.

However, there was something he still needed to say. The main reason was that he didn't want General Manager Jiang to think that he and Youjia were not getting along well, and that was why the other party didn't even send a car.

Just as General Manager Jiang's phone rang again, Shi Lu thought about it and decided to give Manager Wang a call and complain a little more.

As soon as the call was connected, the car door opened again and Feng Yiping stood outside with a smile, holding two cups of coffee. 'Gentlemen, have a hot drink to warm you up.'

Hearing this voice, Manager Wang, who had just called Shi Lu a buddy on the phone, paused. "Have you already arrived?'

Shi Lu gestured for Feng Yiping to put the coffee on a small tray. "We just arrived. Manager Wang, you're not being very considerate. This is our General Manager Jiang's first time here, and you're making him carpool with someone,'

'I'm really sorry, this arrangement is indeed rude. Please understand, when you arrive, I will personally apologise to Mr. Jiang.'

Before Shi Lu could say anything, the phone was picked up by Mr. Jiang, who had finished talking to someone else. 'Hello, Manager Wang, you don't need to pay any attention to what Shi said, you have made a good arrangement, it's fine.'

Hearing the constant apologies from the other end, Mr. Jiang put the phone down satisfied. Shi Lu's actions were well understood, it was to highlight his status as the boss.

In a short while, Feng Yiping dragged a suitcase and led a man and a woman over. Jiang got out of the car enthusiastically to greet them and say hello, 'Mr. Chen, long time no see!'

The two exchanged pleasantries and shook hands. Jiang smiled and greeted the woman in business attire next to him, 'Manager Wu's style is even better than in the past. It seems that your company is doing very well this year.'

'Not at all,' said Manager Wu, who had looked a little serious, and gave a flirtatious smile that instantly attracted the attention of several men present. In the business world, women with a good foundation are naturally more advantageous than men.

'We can't compare with you, buddy,' said Manager Chen, pulling him into the car. The only woman, Manager Wu, sat in the passenger seat, so Shi Lu had to sit alone in the third row, smiling the whole way.

'Please fasten your seat belts,' Feng Yiping said with a smile, making sure everyone was buckled up before he started the car. He had to act like a chauffeur.

'You're quite conscientious, young man. What's your surname?' Wu, the manager in the passenger seat, asked with a smile.

He had made a few trips that day, and this was the first time someone had remembered to ask his name. The airport shuttle driver really had no rights.

'My surname is Feng. You can just call me Feng,'

'Hello Feng, hello Feng Xiao, I heard that your boss also has the surname Feng. We have been working together for such a long time, but we have never even met him. Have you met your boss?'

'I often meet with General Manager Jin and General Manager Zhou,' Feng Yiping did not give a clear answer, but it sounded to the outsider like he had not met him either.

'Haha, I heard that their boss has many other businesses, involved in several fields, and now seems to mainly stay in the capital,' General Manager Chen said with a smile.

'Yes, Manager Wang and the others all say that the owner of Youjia rarely gets involved in specific matters, and he has left it all to Managers Jin and Zhou,' Shi Lu explained to his boss Jiang.

Yes, if I got involved in everything, I would be exhausted. Besides, where would I find the time to read and fall in love?

'This shows at least two things: first, that Boss Feng fully delegates power, and second, that the structure and systems of Youjia are very reasonable,' Jiang's words were definitely meant for Youjia employee Feng Yiping.

But he's not wrong!

If the company structure and systems are not sound and reasonable, and you, as the boss, let go, even if the development is OK, your company will become a fertile ground for training a boss like Chen, the CEO of a domestic home appliance retail giant.

Feng Yiping's subordinate is now driving steadily, taking a few customers towards the city centre, occasionally answering some of their questions. However, he is tight-lipped. Manager Wu, who is always beating about the bush, wants to find out some information about Youjia through Feng Yiping, but he easily deflects her by playing dumb.

Feng Yiping's subordinate, who seems like a novice, is actually a veteran inside. Manager Wu's attempts to trap him are a bit lacking.
