Chapter 325: Low-key and high-profile
General Manager Li paused slightly and continued: "Xincheng, I have seen from the beginning that you are a rare talent with great potential. However, I never imagined that your potential is much greater than I imagined, and the rate of progress and improvement is much faster than I could have expected. I'm really happy and relieved about that. ”
Listening to General Manager Li's praise of himself, Xu Xincheng was already moved, and his heart seemed to be injected with a warm current, which quickly flowed from his heart to every part of his body, making him feel a burst of warmth.
It is the greatest affirmation of himself to be praised by General Manager Li, who has always been regarded as a noble person and a good teacher, and he said gratefully: "Brother Chao, thank you very much for your high evaluation and great affirmation of me. In fact, I have made progress today because I am fortunate to join Hongfei Company, and because I have been guided by you, Director Zhang and other mentors since I joined the company. ”
General Manager Li suddenly smiled and said: "For your previous progress, I dare to say that I have provided some help, but I dare not rashly take credit for your progress in the past two months." I think you've grown and improved a lot more in the last two months than you have in the previous two years combined. I can only describe it by leaps and bounds!"
Xu Xincheng hurriedly and humbly said: "Brother Chao, you have won the award! ”
The smile on General Manager Li's face suddenly froze, and then he shook his head lightly and said, "Xincheng, you have made great improvements in many aspects, but there is one aspect where your improvement is very small. And allow me to point it out for you. ”
"Speak. Xu Xincheng immediately said solemnly, today, General Manager Li has praised him too much, and it is rare to have a correction, which can be balanced a little, and he is very welcome.
General Manager Li once again said earnestly: "Today, you have said many times 'you have won the award', 'the words are serious' and the like, you can say this, but you can't say it too many times, saying too much, it will make people feel that you are not confident enough."
Based on what I know about you, I know that you are not unconfident, but simply because you are humble and low-key. As I said in the morning, that's a good virtue in itself, but in the workplace, sometimes, you can't be too humble, you can't be too low-key, and once you're too humble, too low-key, sometimes it's interpreted as unconfident. ”
Xu Xincheng knew that there was some truth in what General Manager Li said, but it was really hard to change.
In the past, the reason why he was "humble and low-key" was due to many reasons: first, his nature was originally relatively introverted; second, as a Guangpiao from an eight-tier city, in a first-tier city like Guangzhou, he couldn't be high-profile even if he wanted to; third, in the company, I have to say that his academic qualifications and qualifications really can't be put on the table, and it's really not good if he is not humble and low-key; fourth, his previous position was a secretary, and one of the important requirements of this position is that he must be "humble and low-key". In short, humility and low-key have long become his work habits, and it is also a part of his personality, and it is a very important part, so it is really difficult to change.
Thinking of this, he said his true thoughts a little helplessly: "This is really hard to change. ”
"It's hard to change. However, you have to change. In the workplace, moderate humility and low-key should be, but to grasp the degree, it depends on what kind of position and role you are in. ”
Xu Xincheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded very seriously.
He completely agrees with General Manager Li's statement, the so-called time, this time, before, when he was the secretary to the general manager and the assistant to the general manager, he really needed to keep a low profile. However, now, although he is still an "assistant", the "assistant to the chairman" is not an ordinary "assistant", and in addition, Lucy has given him so much authority, to a certain extent, especially in some projects, he is already Lucy's agent. What's more, Lucy's expectation for him is not to be an assistant, but to ......
Of course, that's for the future, but even if he doesn't want to do it for the time being, even if he is now, even if he is in his current position, he has to be high-profile on some occasions.
Thinking of this, he said sincerely: "Brother Chao, thank you for your guidance. Yes, you're right, I have to change. ”
Yes, just now, he has secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must change, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to do his best in the next many tasks. In this regard, he must also make a breakthrough, or in other words, he must also achieve transformation.
Thinking of this, he said firmly: "In this regard, from this moment on, I will be different, I will make changes. Brother Chao, please supervise me well, and if there are any more inappropriate words and deeds, please remind me as you did just now. Please guide me if possible. ”
"No problem. I still have some personal experience in this area. General Manager Li stared at him and said seriously: "Actually, when I worked in Silicon Valley, in the first five or six years, I was almost the same as you, and even once I was proud of being humble and low-key. I think that's one of the big reasons why I liked you so much in the first place and decided to promote you to secretary.
However, I later found out that in the company, those who are more high-profile, even if their work ability and performance are equal to mine, or even worse than me, they are promoted much faster than me. So, I learned the hard way and decided to change myself. As soon as I changed, I quickly won more opportunities, and later, when I became an executive in the company, I couldn't keep a low profile. Later, I returned to China and was responsible for the establishment of Hongfei AI Division, and now, I don't think it's okay to be a little high-profile. ”
General Manager Li's example really made Xu Xincheng see his hope all of a sudden. In terms of "high-profile", his goal is actually not high, it is enough to be able to reach a similar level as General Manager Li, since General Manager Li can do it, he will definitely be able to do it. Thinking of this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Understood." I will definitely learn from you in this regard. ”
"No problem. General Manager Li readily agreed, with a smile on his face, but the look on his face immediately changed to curiosity, "However, when it comes to learning, I also have to learn from you." Is there any secret to how fast and so much progress you've grown and progressed over the past two months?"
