"It's hard to put into words," Zhuang Fei said, "grab your phone and follow me to the restaurant first." Today's lunch, the middle and senior management of each department will arrive, after all, it is the new director of our department, go early to help say hello. ”

Shi Xiaoai, who was still in shock, followed out in a daze.

There were people coming and going along the way, and she also knew that it was not appropriate to ask Zhuang Fei at this time, so she was more anxious than rushing to pay a minute before Double 11.

Gossip is like this, only when it has nothing to do with you and is harmless to yourself, can you enjoy the excitement it brings.

Once this gossip is discovered by oneself through mistakes, it is undoubtedly a ridiculous tragedy.

Shi Xiaoai doesn't want to be a small supporting role in the private interview drama of the emperor's relatives and relatives, especially when she participates in the drama that has no eyes and doesn't know the golden branches and jade leaves.

......

TP solves the problem of eating for employees, and there are two places: a canteen and a restaurant.

The canteen is located on the lower floor of the office building. In fact, entering from the back of the building is not the basement, but directly leads to the small garden downstairs, which is convenient for taking a walk after dinner.

There are also open-air tables and chairs, when the weather is good, Shi Xiaoai likes to bask in the sun and drink yogurt there, and then go back to take a nap when she is dizzy.

A slightly more formal banquet was held in a separate two-story building.

On the first floor, there is a hall with more than a dozen tables and a few simple private rooms.

The second floor is specially designed to invite people to design several large and small theme rooms, when there are few people, you can separate them one by one to emphasize the sense of privacy, and you can also open the partition into a banquet hall when there are many people.

The overall style is elegant and stylish, although it is Chinese style, but the color is classic, and the presentation form is also quite flexible, and it is not inconsistent with it when used as a Western-style cocktail party.

When Shi Xiaoai went up to the second floor for the first time, she was very happy.

When she heard that this was all built by Mrs. Fu, Shi Xiaoai appreciated the taste of the proprietress very much, and felt guilty for her shallow opinion that the rich people in China were all nouveau riche.

But later, she learned that Mrs. Fu's maiden family, the Mo family, was a rich N-generation family that made a fortune in the late Qing Dynasty, and she was relieved, after all, people have a background.

Today's banquet is on the second floor.

Shi Xiaoai walked into a room with Zhuang Fei and saw that there were four large round tables inside, each of which could seat more than a dozen people.

Shi Xiaoai loves this kind of dining table the most, people are far away, and they can eat well, so as not to be in front of and behind them, left, right and right.

Not only should you listen to all directions, lest someone greet you in time and appear disrespectful, but also remind yourself at all times not to let your guard down in front of food and say things that should not be said.

If you are unfortunate enough to be surrounded by people who are meeting for the first time, especially customers, then you have to pay attention to the atmosphere of the meal while restraining yourself from "eating and eating".

Generally, it extends from the introduction of the dishes, throwing out a few topics just right, not too involving the privacy of both parties, and not too businesslike.

It's like tickling, find the right point, not light or heavy, so that the other party can enjoy food and wine easily and comfortably.

At this time, Shi Xiaoai hopes that the table will be full of dishes that she doesn't like to eat, so as not to have regrets.

Doudou and Chu Lixin were already sitting at a table against the wall, and there was a pile of melon seed shells on the table in front of them, which seemed to have been here for a while.

Melon seeds and peanuts are a pre-dinner snack that appears at traditional Chinese banquets.

Some restaurants don't provide it, so the host brings a plate of dry goods, sweets and cigarettes in advance to each table for early arrivals.

Guests who know each other chatting while eating melon seeds. If you meet for the first time, you can also start by handing a cigarette or giving a candy to a child.

The first time I came to the second floor for dinner, Zhuang Fei told Shi Xiaoai that the very incompatible melon seeds that appeared here were instructions from Boss Fu, so don't have any objections, let alone discuss them in private.

Shi Xiaoai repeatedly told herself that this is a manifestation of the big boss born in an ordinary family who has not forgotten his roots.

But at one point, I still couldn't help but guess with Doudou whether the decoration styles of the big boss and the proprietress were also so mixed.

Seeing Zhuang Fei and Shi Xiaoai coming in, he hurriedly gave up his seat to Zhuang Fei and poured another glass of lemon water.

I grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat next to Shi Xiaoai, with a posture of preparing to speak, quite the temperament of a storyteller, and it seems that there are "good goods" to share.

Shi Xiaoai couldn't raise her interest in gossip at all, and looked lazily at Toutou.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Toutou, "I'm telling you, super gossip." May from your group turned out to be the niece of the new director. ”

Doudou's sentence made Shi Xiaoai desperately sort out the Chinese's kinship in her mind: the new director is Mrs. Fu's cousin, and May is the niece of the new director, which means that Mrs. Fu is May's ...... Cousin aunt?

"Hey, why don't you speak. Looking at the stunned Shi Xiaoai, Doudou was very depressed, the gossip he contributed was not shocking enough?

There's not a lot of gossip about the protagonist by his side, so cherish it!

One of the essences of gossip is the reach of the parties.

It's like telling you that a celebrity is cheating, and you can talk about it after cooking at most.

But if you find out that the company doorman uncle actually gave 99 roses on Valentine's Day in order to pursue the dessert cabinet aunt in the canteen. That will inevitably make you order a dessert at noon, and by the way, you will watch the heroine's true face.

Zhuang Fei took a sip of water and said to Chu Lixin: "Xiao Ai arranged May to the new project in the marketing department. ”

Chu Lixin listened, laughed, and said, "It's okay, Xiao Ai, you're still amazing!"

"Sister Xin, I'm almost anxious to death, and you still laugh at me. Shi Xiaoai frowned, looking like she was about to cry.

Chu Lixin turned his head to look at Zhuang Fei and said, "You haven't told her yet?"

"How can I have time, today's events are too sudden, and I was so busy early in the morning that I was so busy that I came back to life. Zhuang Fei said.

"Sister Feifei, am I in trouble?" Shi Xiaoai dared to ask what was in her heart at this time.

Although I walked all the way to the banquet hall, I thought about it left and right, but I didn't understand that even if May was Mrs. Fu's biological daughter, her move would not be considered a way to kill herself.

Although that new project ...... Well, not only is everyone not optimistic, but after announcing the person in charge, they also unanimously decided that it must be a pit.

But no one can judge 100% of what will happen next.

Even if she really doesn't do it well, May, an intern, can't let her be a backstabber.

Besides, soon the whole company will know that she has such a big backer behind her, and it's too late to pat on the back, who dares to offend her.

"Scared?" Zhuang Fei said to Shi Xiaoai with a smile, "Then you tell me well, what did you think about before, why did you send May over?"

This kind of question and answer often appears between Zhuang Fei and Shi Xiaoai.

Shi Xiaoai is also used to it. She knew that this was Zhuang Fei asking her to think more before doing things.

At work, "asking for the opinion of the leader" is not the same as "asking the leader to give the solution".

Even if there is something that is not sure, Shi Xiaoai will do her best to give several options, and clearly indicate their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the reasons why they can't choose.

Finally, Zhuang Fei's decision was used to compare his own proposal and summarize his experience.

Of course, this method is a little harder than relying on the leader silly and sweetly, but the growth rate is also gratifying, and Shi Xiaoai feels that it is worth it.

Although this time, it seems that he is standing on the edge of a stormy cliff.

But even if it is wrong, it is necessary to learn enough lessons to return the "fare", so Shi Xiaoai gradually relieved herself and explained her views on a case-by-case basis:

"I'm not optimistic about this project. The marketing department started in a hurry this time, and the stall was too large. It's only been a few days, and it's almost for the whole company to ask for resources. Shi Xiaoai paused and continued: "More importantly, Mr. Dou, the previous person in charge of the marketing department, actually went abroad for inspection at this time. ”

"Speaking of Lyle, he is said to have just completed a commendable project before leaving his last company. It stands to reason that either you have to get a promotion or a raise, or even if you want to change jobs, you have to wait for a good price. But he came to TP, and he wasn't dug up yet. I think there's a problem. ”

Zhuang Fei nodded and motioned for Shi Xiaoai to continue.

"Finally, May. The role of our department in new projects is extremely limited. To put it bluntly, it is simply labor-intensive, and the interns are enough to cope. It's just that before that, sending interns didn't pay enough attention to it in the past. But May is different, the bigger her backer, the more it reflects our sincerity. ”

"To sum up, May has helped in the past and will not continue to cause trouble for us. With her in front of us, even if it rots into scum in the end, it won't affect us. And if it does work in the end, the results will be indispensable to ours – although I don't have any hope for that. ”

After hearing Shi Xiaoai's words, Doudou hurriedly handed over a glass of water and said, "Come, hero, quench your thirst." ”

Chu Lixin smiled and said to Zhuang Fei: "Yes, I'm about to leave the school." ”

"She's a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. Zhuang Fei commented, "You're basically stepping on the idea." ”

"Let's talk about the marketing department first. The superintendent position was vacant for more than a year. At present, it seems that among several managers competing for posts, Fan Doudou is almost an acting director, but he has not been able to support him. He went out this time to retreat as advance, but I don't know why he chose the North American office?"

"And Lyle's previous achievements, don't forget his previous owner's position in the industry. Whether the platform is good or whether he is really capable remains to be seen. ”

What Zhao Jing said is true, the new director is Mrs. Fu's cousin, who has been in the UK for more than ten years. This time I ostensibly came back to help, but as far as I know, it was not satisfactory abroad. Seeing that the returnees are becoming less and less valuable, while the resume is still a little golden, come back to scare and scare us pure 'turtles'. In fact, his professional direction is not very compatible with TP, so he can only start with a non-core department like ours. ”

"But the heart is too anxious, and before the person arrives, he intervenes in the marketing department. Chu Lixin interjected and said, "No wonder as soon as Fan Doudou walked on the front foot, Vice President Huang of the 'Pension Association' jumped out to mention the new project." He is one of the few high-level people who has a good personal relationship with Mrs. Fu, and it is estimated that he wants to show his loyalty again and strive for a good retirement policy. ”

"What about Mr. Fu?" Shi Xiaoai always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly realized why she always felt that the whole thing was awkward, "The TP family culture has always been not heavy, and there are basically no royal relatives. Why did Mr. Fu break the convention this time?"

"And it seems to be deliberately pushing and making things very high-profile. Doudou thought about Shi Xiaoai's train of thought for a while and added.

Chu Lixin smiled and pointed to Doudou and Shi Xiaoai, and said, "The child can be taught." ”

Zhuang Fei also smiled and said, "Yes, this is the most critical part of the problem." So most of the middle and senior management are currently in a wait-and-see mode. May's business, by contrast, doesn't matter. And May has no direct relationship with Mrs. Fu, she is the wife of the new director. ”

It was only at this time that Shi Xiaoxin breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was still standing on the edge of the cliff, the scene in front of him became a pleasant sea, as beautiful as the kind of place where Amy wanted to have a wedding with Xie Er.

Doudou continued to swallow melon seeds, touched Shi Xiaoai with his elbow, and asked: "What do you say our new director looks like? After staying in the UK for more than ten years, will you come with an umbrella?" ”

"We don't like the rain here, so it's a big deal to wear a custom Savile Row suit. ”

Doudou seemed to remember something, and sneered: "I remember not long after Lyle joined the company, there was talk about the John Lobb shoes he was wearing. ”

"Well, the royal family customizes the same style. ”

"!" said Doudou disdainfully, "it must be finished shoes." The custom sole has the royal certification mark, if he can not show it?"

"Not many people know that brand. He posted it, and we don't understand it. ”

Doudou patted Shi Xiaoai's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely give you an explicit hint at popular science." ”

"I'm not going to cooperate with him as his mouthpiece. ”

"So, when creating gossip, the choice of the first level of communication is very important. To a large extent, the attitude and expression of these people will set the tone for this gossip. "Doudou summed it up very empirically.

The restaurant has already come in several groups of people. Shi Xiaoai and Doudou chatted and greeted people.

Zhuang Fei and Chu Lixin had already gone to the other table, and several manager-level people chattered together.

In fact, the arrival of the new director did not have much impact on the general staff, but it was Zhuang Fei's direct leadership.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and the old saying is very philosophical.

The high-rise has not arrived, and it is still early to eat.

Doudou pulled Shi Xiaoai to the bathroom.

Shi Xiaoai came out first and stood in the small botanical garden opposite the elevator entrance and waited for her.

On the second floor, in addition to the banquet hall, there is also a sunny glass room, in which Mrs. Fu asked people to plant flowers and plants of various seasons, even the succulent ones that everyone loves nowadays.

The professional gardener takes care of it, and there is a wide variety, but it is not easy to see what the preferences of the hostess are.

"Dingdong ......" elevator doors open.

Shi Xiaoai looked back and saw that there were two people in the elevator, one was Sunan, and the other was a man.

Shi Xiaoai didn't know this person, and looked at him from a distance through a few ginger flowers: You said that he was dressed casually, and people also wore suits and ties...... Messy hair.

There is absolutely no exaggeration, his hair is really very little, and the yellowish seems to be malnourished, and it is relatively long, and it sways as his head shakes.

The two were chatting, and Sunan politely let each other go.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Sunan's phone rang.

"Hey, Sister Sha, we're here. As he walked inside, he answered the phone, but suddenly stopped.

I saw Sunan motioning to the people who came with him to wait, and walked quickly to the sun room with the phone.

Shi Xiaoai instantly felt that she must have made a mistake with the elevator.

He obviously wanted to find a place to talk on the phone alone, and he went out at this time and happened to bump into it, so if he didn't go out, he couldn't eavesdrop.

"Xiao Ai, where are you?" At this time, the voice of the classmates who didn't know whether to save themselves or harm themselves sounded loudly.

As soon as Sunan looked up, he happened to see Shi Xiaoai behind Jiang Huacong, made a boo gesture at her, and continued to talk on the phone.

Shi Xiaoai heard him say words like "hospital", "police", and "America" intermittently, and waited anxiously.

"Okay, we'll come over right away, I'll arrange it here. Sunan hung up the phone, his fingers moving quickly on the screen, as if he had sent a message to someone, and then turned his head to stare at Shi Xiaoai.

Shi Xiaoai had never seen Sunan with such an expression.

He wasn't looking at himself, he seemed to be thinking about something, but his eyes were on Shi Xiaoai.

Although it hurts to think of yourself as transparent, Shi Xiaoai is very glad for this neglect at this time.

After a few seconds, Su Nanleng slowly spoke: "Xiao Ai, Mr. Fu had a serious car accident......
