The time to make an appointment with the embassy to submit visa information is 10 a.m.

As soon as Yin Jie arrived at the company, he saw Flora, who was in a hurry. After asking, I learned that Flora had been calling Xiao Liu's phone since 8 o'clock in the morning, but for some reason she couldn't get in touch.

"Have you contacted Ding Yi's assistant Chen Gang?"

After contacting, he didn't know where Xiao Liu was, so he also cut off contact and turned off his phone all the time. ”

Yin Jie's face sank. Visa information is indeed important for the April visit, but in any case it is not as important as Xiao Liu's personal safety. The security of the imperial capital has always been very good, and it stands to reason that there will be no problems with him, but who knows if he will encounter the probability of one in ten thousand?

"Call Xiao Liu again in a quarter of an hour, do you know his name and ID information?"

"I don't know. Why..."

"You call Chen Gang right away! and ask him to fax a copy of Xiao Liu's ID card. Tell him what I want, and say that we need to find Xiao Liu in a different way now. ”

Flora turned to leave.

If Mr. Liu cannot be reached by 9:30, Yin Jie plans to call the embassy to cancel the appointment, as long as he candidly explains the situation. If there is no news from Xiao Liu after 10:00, she will have to consider other possibilities. Is it feasible to report the case directly? Do you need to ask Ning Haoran? Of course, once Ning Haoran knows, it is inevitable that Flora will be scolded. If her husband's judgment is correct, she will also be beaten hard by Ning Haoran by seizing this mistake.

At 9:20, Xiao Liu's phone was still not turned on, and the two of them had calm expressions and were very anxious. Yin Jie thought about how to explain the situation to the visa office, whether to call them directly, or ask Flora to go to the embassy window to cancel the appointment.

Suddenly, Flora's cell phone rang, it was a local landline number. It starts with 65 and belongs to the East Third Ring Road. Flora picked up the phone, "Which one?"

"Hello, I'm Xiao Liu of the Soviet Union. ”

Flora exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you only calling now? I called you early this morning, and I've been calling you until now." ”

Yin Jie made a gesture of pressing down with both hands on her.

Flora steadied herself, lowered her voice and asked, "I've called you a lot today to remind you to turn off your phone, and we're all very worried about you. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know where I left my phone yesterday. Because yesterday it was a night flight, I got up a little late today. I just called back to the company and found out that you have been looking for me. I'm now in the embassy district. I'm borrowing a phone from a store, what do you think I'm going to do next?"

"As long as you're safe, we can rest assured. Flora said calmly, "Have you brought all the information from Mr. Ding? What kind of documents did Ding always sign in person?"

Xiao Liu read out the name of the information on the phone.

"Okay, please give the phone to the shop owner. Please wait at the store and we'll be there shortly. ”

It was Jenny Lou's supermarket next to the Language and Culture Center for Diplomats, which specialized in imported food and some daily necessities.

After communicating with the owner of the commissary, Yin Jie was relieved, waved Flora to take a taxi to pick up the materials, and then sent them directly to the embassy.

An hour later, Flora returned to the office, and Yin Jie found that she had come back alone, and couldn't help asking:

"What about Xiao Liu? Because of our mistakes, he made such a special trip, so we should invite someone to come and sit down and invite him to lunch. ”

He said that he had other things to do, and he would return to Nanjing in the afternoon. ”

"He's probably polite! You call him again and invite him to lunch, be warm. ”

Flora called and told Yin Jie that Xiao Liu would come over at noon. She asked Yin Jie puzzled:

"Is it necessary for us to be so polite? The information was filled in by themselves, how can it be attributed to our own mistakes?"

Yin Jie knocked her on the head: "Look stupid to read the information, right? If you find the mistake as soon as possible, is it necessary for him to make a special trip? ”

Seeing Flora's sneering, Yin Jie pulled her into a vacant conference room.

"Do you realize what's wrong with you?"

Flora obediently said: "I didn't work hard enough. The names on the materials that you have trained before your business trip must match, and you must pay attention to the spelling... But I'm sorry I made such a mistake!"

Yin Jie said solemnly: "Your mistake is not limited to this. ”

Flora looked at her quizzically.

"Summer went home to visit her mother, yes, because I was on a business trip and she only needed Mr. Ning's approval. But why didn't you mention it to me? We should be able to squeeze out two minutes to talk about this on the phone once every two days! You think that the workload is not big enough, and you can do it yourself, but the difficulty of signing the job is not the workload, but the trivial and easy to make mistakes. Don't you know your own shortcomings? If you had told me at the time that I would coordinate with Bella to arrange a colleague from another department to help you review it, would that kind of chicken and dog jump still happen last night? Does the Soviet Group still need to send someone to fly over to deliver the information? Based on the situation last night, I had to call Ding Yi to ask for information. But this kind of remedy is harmful to our image, if you ventilate in advance, it can be completely avoided! Put yourself in your shoes, if I were Ding Yi, I would think that LS and these people are completely unreliable and untrustworthy!"

Flora bowed her head. Yin Jie suspected that she was crying again. However, since it is time to start building the team systematically, everyone in the team should correct their faults as soon as possible.

"You've always had a good work ethic, you've worked hard, and you know I recognize that. But you must know where your shortcomings are?" she said, pointing to her heart, "and you must find a way to get rid of this defect from the heart! I can tell you plainly that every one of your jobs will have to be reviewed by me or Summer before you can get out of the way, until you can completely get rid of this careless shortcoming, for I don't know when you're going to get into trouble again because of your carelessness." Can you understand?"

Flora looked up with red eyes and nodded. Yin Jie went on to say:

"This is based on the quality of the team's work and is a stopgap measure. She softened her tone, "You and Summer are the people I picked out, and in a short period of time, there will only be three of us in the LS China team." I understand that no one is perfect, and everyone has shortcomings to a greater or lesser extent. But as long as this shortcoming affects the work, it must be corrected as soon as possible. You have to be really determined to make up for your shortcomings. The work review is the team's support for you at this stage. But only by getting rid of the faults will you be able to stand alone! You have to work hard, Flora!"

She tapped Flora on the shoulder, and the girl nodded, her eyes glinting.

Summer returned to Beijing a few days later, bringing a lot of raisins and dates. She stuffed a bag full of it to Yin Jie. Yin Jie smiled and asked her to cancel her leave to Bella first, and then go to the conference room for a meeting.

After the renovation of the entire floor that Ning bought, there were only two fixed meeting rooms in one large and one middle school, which were enclosed by glass walls and had long and floor-length shutters that could be lowered to isolate the eyes of the outside. The many movable partitions designed along the aisle can be pulled out to temporarily separate small meeting spaces for 2-3 people, and most of the people use these "small meeting rooms" on weekdays. Therefore, these two fixed meeting rooms are only used for regular company meetings or project meetings with a large number of participants, and are mostly vacant on weekdays. Today, the discussion is expected to be long, and Yin Jie applied for a conference room.

After Summer entered the conference room, Yin Jie asked about her family.

After the greetings, Yin Jie sent her and Flora the "LS Team Management Specification" that he had drafted. The Code has been reviewed and approved by Ning Haoran and Erdmann, and will be explained to the two of them one by one in today's meeting. She first came with an opening statement:

"I told Flora the other day that our small team was temporarily full after Summer arrived. As you know, the LS China team is very strict in terms of "selection", requiring every team member to have strong work ability. In terms of collaboration, I don't know if you have such an idea: there are only three people in the team, there is no one to arrange whom, everyone just needs to do their own work? This kind of mentality is unacceptable, if you really do this, it is not a team, it is a plate of scattered sand! If you have this mentality, you must throw it away as soon as possible. Although this team is small now, we should start team building from now on, and we can form an effective synergy to move forward by twisting everyone into a rope. I want us to build it into a close-knit community where the members work closely with each other. Here's a message that everyone will have the opportunity to be a leader in different projects in the future, but no matter who the leader is, there will be other members of the team to support her on the project. No one on this team is left alone. Now, please read the Code carefully and raise any questions. ”

Flora knew Yin Jie's style of acting, and began to ask questions after watching it for a while. Summer didn't say anything, but after a while, she began to ask questions or explain her opinions.

Towards the end of the meeting, Yin Jie tapped the table with the marker pen in his hand and said:

"I would like to remind you two that today's "Specification" is for you to take down and digest it, and if you have any questions or suggestions, you are welcome to raise them with me this week. If there are no problems, we will be following the Code in a week. The two joined LS for their own career development. I'm the same, I'm not here to be a good person. If you have problems in your daily work, you can discuss them privately with me, but I have very strict requirements for the quality of my work, and you must adapt to this. No matter how good the relationship is and how harmonious the relationship is, once you bring trouble to your work, you must be ready to take responsibility. My criticism is not right for people, but it will be more direct and may be difficult to accept. If you don't want to experience it, please do your job well. ”

"Finally, I would like to emphasize the importance of team building, and I hope everyone must pay attention to it. If you're used to working alone, you have to change your mindset when you come to LS, and everyone here has to have a team mindset. In the future, I hope that everyone will focus on the team when considering problems, which will also help everyone develop a management mindset. ”
