Chapter 1 Seeing Ning Haoran for the First Time

Next Chapter

Yin Jie subconsciously tidied up his clothes, brushed his hair, confirmed his clothes and mental state in the half-used mirror embedded in the elevator hall, put on an elegant and clear smile, looked at himself again, and nodded to himself.

"Well, that's it!" she affirmed herself.

Yin Jie is born under the sign of Leo and is 28 years old. At an age when most people feel a sense of crisis. "It's going to be 3 in a hurry...", they spoke in a tone like eyes, very naked. It seems that when a woman reaches this age, her face will inevitably be tired, and the shadow of old age will soon appear between her eyebrows and eyes.

However, this statement does not apply to Yin Jie.

Yin Jie's appearance is very beautiful.

When many people see her, they think at first glance that she is about 23-24 years old. When she smiled very clearly and harmlessly, many people even thought that she was still studying in college.

Strictly speaking, Yin Jie's eyebrows and eyes are not particularly beautiful, and she has not been able to inherit her beautiful mother's slightly exotic big eyes and high nose bridge. She has apricot eyes, a nose, and cherry red lips, and looks more like her elegant and funny writer father between her eyebrows and eyes. Maybe "there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly" adds a lot to her, she has studied poetry under the supervision of her father since she was a child, and her appearance, posture, and demeanor always have an indescribable bookish atmosphere, so that the people around her have a breeze and comfort, as if contaminated with the gentle fragrance of books and ink, and the whole person has the charm of a lady under Gu Kaizhi's pen. Her temperament is very special, like Li Qingzhao's words, like the new tea before the Ming Dynasty, like ...... It's hard to describe it, but it's elegant and timeless, but it also contains a hint of stubbornness.

Very special feeling.

Yin Jie stepped out of the elevator, opened Sharon's text message again to confirm the time and room number, and then walked to room 803 diagonally opposite the elevator door.

"Knock knock. ”

A tall girl with a long face greeted her.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Her smile is contagious.

"My name is Yin Jie, and I always have an appointment with Ning. ”

"Well... Please come in, please sit here. Please wait a minute, I'll let you know."

"Thank you. ”

It looks like a commercial and residential apartment, and the decoration is relatively simple and practical. The walls are painted with pale yellow wallpaper with soft dark lines, and the corners of the ceiling are made of white plaster to create simple European swirls. Eight sets of desks were placed in pairs in the hall, and now there were people busy at all four tables. A girl with round eyes but a small distance between her eyes was talking on the phone at the table in front of the window, her voice soft and soft, with a smile on her face, but for some reason this smile looked a little special, even a little hideous. On the right side of the entrance is a row of gray-green flannel sofas along the wall, with different plants next to the sofas, in the corners, and next to several desks. At a glance, there are fortune trees, phoenix tail bamboos, tiger pill orchids, and pothos.

A few minutes after Yin Jie sat down on the sofa, the girl with a long face came out.

"Mr. Ning's conference call has just ended, please come with me!"

Along the corridor to the left of the living room, after walking through the two doors, Rong Chang opened the door of the room facing the corridor with a long face, and asked Yin Jie to come in sideways. At the same time, a neutral, rich and loud voice came out.

“Gut. Sela! Ciao ciao!” (German: Okay, that's it!Goodbye!)

It is a room of about 40 square meters, and the smell of tobacco fills the room. Directly in front of the door is a large floor-to-ceiling glass window with an entire wall, and at this moment the light green blinds have been lowered to block out the scorching sun. On the right side of the wall is a row of four ebony bookcases, neatly arranged with a variety of simple and hardcover books, both in Chinese and foreign languages. In front of the bookcase was a large mahogany boss's desk, and a tall man was putting down the phone.

Seeing Yin Jie walk in the door, Ning Haoran's eyes lit up, and he got up and stretched out his hand.

"Mr. Ning, hello, I'm Yin Jie"

"Hello Evita, Sharon has mentioned you to me many times. ”

This is a very tall man with very white skin, a very handsome face, and sharp eyes. When he stood up, there was a kind of overwhelming momentum that swept everything.

His palm was wide and warm, and when Yin Jie's hand was held, he suddenly felt very safe.

After a few pleasantries.

"Sharon said you're planning to change jobs, can you tell me why?"

"That's true. Yin Jie didn't expect him to insert the subject so directly. After a little thought, I thought it would be fine.

"I am planning to change jobs for two main reasons: first, because the IT company I am serving is about to be disbanded due to problems in the capital chain, and our division will set up a separate company. Now the situation of the business department is not very good, I am a little unconfident in the future development of this place, and the other is that I have been engaged in the investment promotion work of the local government before this job, and I feel that I am better at it. Now I have tried hard for this job, and although I can meet the requirements of my boss, I still feel a little reluctant and hope to return to my field of expertise. ”

"This is my resume, please take a look at it. ”

Ning Haoran flipped through the resumes handed over by Yin Jie, and stayed a little longer in some places.

......

An hour later, the girl with a long face sent Yin Jie to the elevator with a professional smile and waved goodbye.

After stepping out of the elevator, Yin Jie exhaled deeply.

"Sharon," she dialed a number, "I'm meeting with Mr. Ning today." ”

"How's it going?" said an enthusiastic female voice on the other end.

"It was a good talk. I introduced my situation, and he briefly said that the LS project still needs it, and I think it is a good match for me. ”

"That's good, what is your impression of him?"

"It feels pretty strong. But his smile is sunny!"

Sharon's laughter rang out on the other end of the line.

"Dear Evita, I think you two can work together, would you like to give it a try?"

"I'd love to, but I don't know what he thinks of me?"

I asked him back. Don't worry, you're so good, how could he not want to invite you?"

Yin Jie hummed modestly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

It was the end of June, and the sun was already blazing. Yin Jie walked all the way to a nearby subway station. Her home is a neighborhood outside Beijing's East Fifth Ring Road, a residential area that both gold-collar and white-collar workers are interested in. If the application is successful, the daily commuting time can be sharply reduced from more than 5 hours to about 2 hours, which is very attractive to Yin Jie.

In the subway car, which jolted from time to time, Yin Jie fell into deep thought. She came out on sick leave today, and she planned to go straight home. If she goes to the office again, the anxiety of not knowing the way forward will burn her heart all the time.

Before marrying into the imperial capital, Yin Jie worked in the Foreign Investment Division of the Department of Commerce of Y Province, responsible for attracting investment and managing local foreign-invested enterprises. Her work in the government is not as boring as the world's prejudice of "a cup of tea and a newspaper all day", she has the courage to do things and is willing to serve the enterprise, and her work has always been very full. Before she resigned to Beijing, she had been in the position of deputy director of the foreign investment department for two years, and if she continued to stay, she would face rotation, and after two years of rotation, she could be promoted again......

However, the power of love defeated the rational analysis of career development, and she married into the imperial capital.

Her first job in the imperial capital was as a senior project manager at North Mingtai, a private IT company.

IT is an industry that Yin Jie has never set foot in. In addition to earning money back, she also hopes to take the opportunity to follow up on the project throughout the process, strive to learn more, and ambitiously hope to forge herself into an expert in the IT industry.

The bright future is always exciting. However, the reality is ......

North Mingtai is a software company specializing in machine translation. Yin Jie is part of the Translation Software Customization Division, and although her position is "senior project manager", her job has always focused on product sales, while product development and engineering management have been taken over by people from other departments after she has opened the bill. This is a very strange project management model, which completely breaks Yin Jie's good expectations. However, in order to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, she still cherishes this job.

She doesn't want to be a vassal of her husband and wants to have her own career. Then, since the objective conditions do not allow it, you can only be at ease with the situation and do the job at hand well.

Her sales idea is very clear, she wants to gnaw on the next big customer first, establish a valuable success story, and then radiate development to related industries. Although the implementation was slightly off from the plan, her strategy worked. In the two years since he joined the company, he has many large, medium and small customers. At present, among her target customers, the English Department of the University of International Business and Economics and the Foreign Experts Compilation Center are the top priorities. Among them, Director Cao of the Compilation Center has tried out their software products and put forward the requirements for personalized development... That's a million-dollar order!

But just a month before the signing of the contract, the company's capital chain was broken! Without hearing a single wind in advance, without any warning, the company's capital chain was broken!

The news of the dissolution of the company due to the rupture of the capital chain of North Mingtai is boiling, and the contract of the compilation center is estimated to be unable to be signed in a short period of time. After all, government procurement projects are usually profitable, but at the same time, the responsibilities and risks that decision-makers need to bear are also very large. Yin Jie has been working in the government since graduation and has a deep understanding of this.

The company was dissolved, and each business unit was established separately to develop ... Also split into four!

There are two leaders in the R&D department of North Mingtai, one is in charge of the translation software business and the other is in charge of the translation platform business. Ms. Xu Wenli, the CEO of the Customization Division, has been working hard to win the R&D bull in charge of the software business since the decision of North Mingtai to disband, and has been fighting with Yan Xin, the boss of the Product Division, and repeatedly competed, but ultimately lost. This is also one of the reasons why Yin Jie is not hopeful about the development after the "separation". For such a technology company, the R&D department is responsible for product development, product design, and product production, and its importance for future development cannot be overstated. Ruan Ling, known as "Ruan Boss", is the head of research and development in charge of the translation software business, and has a team of 4 people. Boss Ruan is a particularly characteristic person - particularly "dedicated", particularly meticulous in the division of labor among his subordinates, and each of his subordinates is only responsible for one or two aspects of the project. His design ideas are never deconstructed in detail by his subordinates (supposedly to avoid unnecessary distractions), and are only arranged in conjunction with each programmer's work (which is said to improve productivity and concentration). This operation can be maintained when the company has no problems. But now that the company is going to be dissolved and split, what should I do? Could it be that he is also divided into four, and several CEOs have a meeting to discuss the division of one point?

You may say that it would be nice to recruit a new one, and many young people in the business department who are not familiar with the world also think so. But Yin Jie knew that this was just a theoretical possibility. Is the R&D person in charge so easy to find? and in such an out-of-the-way field. Even if it is found, what about the treatment? North Mingtai has been disbanded due to the rupture of the capital chain, where does the high salary of the customization division come from to pay the new big bull? For such a technology company, the importance of a good R&D team is "extremely important, there is no one".

At the regular meeting on Monday, Xu Wenli announced with a smile on her face, "Although we missed out on Boss Ruan, we have poached Cui Yong! Everyone knows his solid work." It's no problem to integrate into the team, everyone works together, and the successful rise is just around the corner!" looked red, but the bitterness in her heart ...... Yin Jiexin said that they are all workplace goblins who have been cultivating for many years, who can not understand the Tao in it? This kind of words can only be kept to coax the small sales who have just joined.

In short, Yin Jie, who has had a smooth journey after graduating from college, has never fallen into this panicked situation of not knowing the way forward. She instinctively wanted to fight - even if she had to endure the torment, it should make sense, right?

For Northern Mingtai, Yin Jie thinks that the weight is not heavy, so he has no consciousness of "treating the countryman and repaying it". As soon as Sharon introduced the opportunity, she didn't hesitate to seize it.

When Yin Jie was thinking a lot on the subway, Ning Haoran leaned back on the chair and lit a stout cigar. He took a deep breath and let the slightly spicy, mellow aroma of the cigar soak through his mouth. He remembered the girl he had just interviewed. Sharon said she was married, but she didn't look like it. This girl has a good temperament and is familiar with the business of attracting investment, and it is estimated that Erdmann will be satisfied. With such a person, LS's business should be able to take down. He puffed out a puff of smoke and snorted, didn't Erdmann always worry that I wasn't good at this business?

Ning Haoran was originally a very cautious person. He had a good impression of Yin Jie, but it was Sharon's recommendation that prompted him to make his decision quickly. Sharon is the head of China at the representative office of Country A in Guangzhou, and is pragmatic and savvy. As a partner who has worked with many times, Ning Haoran trusts Sharon's professional judgment far more than anyone else. He originally wanted to poach Sharon, however, after rejecting Ning Haoran's invitation, Sharon recommended Yin Jie. She detailed her previous collaboration with Yin Jie, and then said very clearly, "You can use her with confidence." Her professionalism is no less than mine, and her understanding of the operating mechanism and decision-making thinking of Chinese government agencies is far better than mine. He is quite reliable!" Ning Haoran knew that Sharon's evaluation had always been pertinent. So after politely sending Yin Jie away, he had actually decided to hire her.

But the timing, he touched his chin and asked her to wait for a while, too fast will make her feel that it is too easy, but she doesn't know how to cherish it!

The girl with a long face pushed the door in. "How?"

"What do you think?"

"Are you sure?" Rong Chang's face seemed to know him very well.

"You don't like her?" he keenly felt something.

"I can't talk about it...... It's just that it feels more pretended..."

"Huh" he understood, laughing. "Don't overthink it. We needed someone like this to help get the LS project down, and Christina couldn't do that. ”
