Chapter 5 (I)

On Wednesday's working day, after Chen Yi arrived at the company, she found that Manager Cui had arranged for other teachers to teach on her behalf, and she was invited to visit the new future branch with Manager Cui.

The address of the new training course is still in Chaoyang District, but it is also six stations away from Chen Yi's class, and Manager Cui's car drove for almost an hour on the ground due to traffic jams.

During this period, Manager Cui chatted with Chen Yi for a while, and she asked her how long she had been in Beijing, where was her hometown, whether she had a boyfriend, and when she planned to get married, whether she was qualified to buy a house in Beijing, and where she was going to buy?

If it was in WeChat, she should have "deleted friends" eight hundred times, but Manager Cui is her boss, so she can only answer them one by one.

But soon, she found that she didn't care about her answer, when she was perfunctory, she also nodded in agreement, it was obvious that Manager Cui didn't want to guide Chen Yi's life, but she didn't have anything to say in a confined space, so Chen Yi also relaxed a lot and coped with it casually.

"I can't afford it anywhere in Beijing, and there's no need to buy it in Yanjiao. Chen Yi said, "Considering the cost performance, renting a house near the company is the most comfortable." ”

Manager Cui smiled, "You can't rent a house for the rest of your life, it's not your own, it's not okay, the landlord says that if you don't rent, you won't rent, will you take your children with you when the time comes?"

Chen Yi nodded, "That's what you said, now I occasionally want to buy something, and I will consider the trouble of moving in the future, so I won't buy it, and if I rent a house, I really can't talk about the quality of life." ”

Seeing that Chen Yi agreed with his point of view, Manager Cui's tone became more brisk, and it seemed that the spiritual distance between the two people had been shortened because of this "common words", "You are not young, and you should also make plans for the future, I have children in kindergarten when you are so old." ”

Chen Yi glanced at the shallow crow's feet at the corners of Manager Cui's eyes, although she was a person who paid great attention to maintenance and wore exquisite makeup, and there were no obvious signs of age on her face, but her steady and reliable aura was very similar to that of a forty-year-old person - the kind of person who can quickly help you get on the number and occupy a bed in the hospital - Chen Yi remembered that she was only three years older than herself, maybe family life would force a person to grow up rapidly.

She unconsciously glanced at herself in the rearview mirror, it was a face that would be panicked when she was scratched by a bicycle on the road, although she was a teacher by profession, she was still more student-like, because her eyes were full of confusion, like a child who didn't even know which school to fill in for the college entrance examination.

Chen Yi sighed, "Everyone can make plans, everyone will have some good wishes for the future, but some things are uncontrollable, for example, everyone wants to buy a house, but it is not possible to buy it if you want to, raising children is an endless investment, and my income can't support those 'plans'." After that, she paused and said in a rather admiring tone, "There is a gap between me and you. ”

While looking for a parking space, Manager Cui said to her sincerely, "Mr. Chen, you are so young and beautiful, with outstanding ability and a bright future, it won't be long before I envy you." ”

In front of him is a 30-storey office building, Honolulu English Training Institute has rented 23 to 25 floors, and each floor has an area of 1,200 square meters, Chen Yi walked in with Manager Cui, along the way you can see a lot of workers are doing renovation work, although there is still a lot of dust, sandbags and materials are piled up everywhere, but the general decoration has been completed, the color is mainly oak white, the beautiful outline of the classrooms and offices has been formed, they are not closely connected but arranged in a staggered manner, the corridor in the middle is very spacious, the sunlight is thrown in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the whole wall, you can imagine after the completionThe new training course is much more open and bright than the old one.

After a brief round, Manager Cui led Chen Yi upstairs, "Let's go take a look at your office." ”

"I have an office?" she blinked in surprise.

"Of course, you are the master here, where can you not have a house?" Manager Cui laughed, and said mysteriously while stepping on the spiraling glass staircase, "Actually, I got an order today, and I must bring you here." ”

Coming upstairs, Chen Yi saw the founder of Honolulu English, Li Kezhi, people in the company are bound to talk about some gossip about the boss, so Chen Yi has listened a lot with both ears, and his mouth can also recite Boss Li's entrepreneurial history backwards, he is an English major, but his professional results are not good, but he is eloquent, and during his school days, he persuaded two rich young masters to invest in him to do education industry business together, and now, he is also a frequent visitor to financial magazines in his early thirties, accounting for 60% of the company's shares, and is an absolute leader。

Li Kezhi does not look like an intellectual, his hairstyle is very refreshing, the body is even, he is the type who does not exercise but pays attention to the health of his diet on weekdays, wearing a gray sweater with a very valuable texture, and simple jeans and sneakers, standing in the center of the hall while listening to the introduction of the financing situation by the partners around him, while looking up from time to time to look around at the construction progress, comparing them with the design drawings in his hand one by one, looking like a leader inspecting the construction site.

"Mr. Li is very impressed with you and often mentions you, but he is too busy and has never had time to meet you seriously. Manager Cui poked her waist behind Chen Yi and motioned for her to take the initiative to go up to say hello, but she had already shouted loudly, "Mr. Li! Teacher Chen is here." ”

Li Qizhi looked back and saw Chen Yi, immediately ended the conversation with his partner, walked over and shook hands with Chen Yi, "Teacher Chen, we met once at the annual meeting, I saw you three times when I went to the company, and you were lecturing at that time, so I couldn't talk to you, today is a formal acquaintance." ”

Manager Cui couldn't help but let out an ambiguous laugh, "Mr. Li, I remember it so clearly." ”

When she faced Li Qizhi, she was completely like two people in the car and Chen Yi looked at heart, flattering and slippery, Chen Yi thought, this is the reason why she is mature and she is naΓ―ve, people like Manager Cui will try to climb up when they see the ladder, and they don't care about whether their posture is embarrassing or not, others have already reached the top, and Chen Yi is still evaluating whether the scenery above has the need for her to take risks.

Why am I not ambitious?β€”β€” she wondered to herselfβ€”oh, there used to be. She suddenly remembered that she had once been ambitious, and she had done her best for it, and she had given everything for it, as far away as in her previous life...... So she almost forgot that she was lazy and tired, not because the ladder in front of her was not attractive, but because it was not this ladder that she wanted to climb, and what she wanted to climb before was more like a high mountain that went straight into the sky than a ladder.

Li Kezhi and Chen Yi are separated by a distance of one person, he smiles heartily, has a generous temperament, does not have the greasy feeling of "successful men at the wine table", exudes a bad womanhood, and only fights for the career, "Mr. Chen basically already knows the company's arrangements for you, right?"

After Chen Yi nodded, he turned around and took two steps forward, pointing to a room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows in a very fast voice and said, "If you agree, this will be your office in the future, you are the boss here, everyone and all the enrollment strategies, courseware arrangements, and personnel transfers are all arranged by you, I mean, they report to you, and you are the king of this conference table......" He walked to a room where the conference table had been set up, and after knocking on the table, he reacted to something, turned back to Chen Yi and corrected him seriously, "Queen." ”

Chen Yi was amused by his casual humorous side, her smile was completely different from the beauty when she had a cold face, like a plane crossing the snow-capped mountains of Germany when she saw the Italian sea, seeing her smile, Li Kezhi's "business-style" smile also added a bit of sincerity.

"Teacher Chen, you are our trump card. He sighed, "Although I don't usually contact you, but the performance report is still very concerned, it clearly shows how important you are to us, I am a man who knows how to repay kindness, and I am also a businessman who knows how to seize opportunities, now, I think it's time to give you a position that can match you, you are a general, you can tell me what you want in the future." ”

Chen Yi was frightened by his beautiful words, and quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not that powerful." ”

Manager Cui took advantage of the situation to add praise, "Our Teacher Chen, we are born to eat this bowl of rice." Then, she grabbed Chen Yi's hand like a matchmaker who was eager to facilitate the marriage and said, "If there is no problem, let's sign the contract as soon as possible, right?"

"Contract?" Chen Yi asked puzzledly, "Didn't I sign a labor contract when I joined the company?" ”

Manager Cui explained, "It's a general employee contract, your position and salary are different, and you need to sign a new one." ”

"When your office is finished, you can sign it. Li Qizhi quickly added, "After signing, the basic salary is 30,000 yuan, as well as five percent of the equity, and dividends at the end of the year, but-" He changed his words and gestured with five fingers open, "We want to sign with you for five years, and if no one in the shareholders' meeting raises any objection to you after the expiration, it will be automatically renewed for three years, and the annual salary will increase by ten percent, if your actions are very prominent, this proportion can be discussed." ”

Chen Yi's eyes widened, and Manager Cui had already applauded her.

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't answer, Li was surprised, "What, Teacher Chen thinks the conditions are not good?" Without waiting for her to answer, he had already taken the lead in asking, "I take the liberty of asking, is Teacher Chen married or unmarried?"
