Chapter 66: A Good News and a Bad News (The Day After Tomorrow, Please Subscribe)
Terry received an email from Alex asking him to sort out his performance in his role as marketing director of EB China's apparel division over the past two years, and then asked himself to have a conference call in the evening.
Terry also didn't know what the content of today's meeting was, but he immediately began to prepare the materials requested by the email, and he didn't dare to get tired at all.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Terry dialed Alex's phone.
Alex was still in good spirits on the other end of the phone and said, "Hi terry, good evening." ”
"Hi Alex, good morning. Terry greeted Alex as well.
"How's your paperwork going?" Alex asked.
"Almost. Terry replied truthfully.
Alex seemed pleased with Terry's efficiency and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to organize this material?"
Terry shook his head and replied, "I don't know. ”
Alex sneered and said, "I have good news and bad news here, which one do you listen to first?"
Terry didn't hesitate to say, "Let's hear the bad news first." “
Alex was not surprised by Terry's answer, and said: "The bad news is that EB's fake incident has had a great impact on the company, and it is difficult to recover in the short term, and everyone's attention is now focused on this matter." ”
"The proposal for the integration of the marketing and procurement organization structure that you reported on the last time you came on a business trip has not been finalized until now. ”
Hearing Alex say this, it doesn't seem to be a good sign, Terry's heart sank, and the hand holding the phone microphone tightened a little.
There are always more solutions than difficulties, thinking about the good news, Terry asked optimistically: "Good news, is it the kind of good news that is worth looking forward to, and it makes people feel refreshed?"
"Haha. Alex laughed and said, "Your tenacity is really impressive." ”
"The good news is that I've been working your proposal for this consolidation, and you know the biggest obstacle is on the side of Danny, EB's President of Marketing. ”
"But the last time you went on a business trip, maybe it was because your on-site performance was really eye-catching, and his attitude was not so tough later. “
"You know what? I suggested that you come to the United States as his TA (administrative assistant) for six months and then make a decision, and he agreed. ”
"I think it's an opportunity. He is in charge of the global EB marketing business and is an out-and-out financial father. ”
"We do procurement, after all, the contact with marketing is still on the surface, if you stay by his side for half a year, you can get a thorough understanding of the entire marketing business, if you can get his approval, the architecture integration is a smooth chapter, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. ”
There is an unwritten rule in EB that the general appointment to an executive TA is actually an appraisal period for a person's promotion. In this way, as long as I can pass the half-year assessment period, the architecture integration will be eyebrow-proof.
Alex continued: "Today's call, I mainly want to tell you about it, I probably have such an intention, you think about it. ”
Terry believes that Alex may indeed have mediated for himself, for Terry's sake, and for himself.
However, according to Alex's tone, he should not know about his relationship with Danny's daughter Lisa, and if Aelx didn't know, there was no need for him to take the initiative to tell him.
As for the offer to be Danny TA, which is a good suggestion and an unavoidable challenge, Terry did not hesitate to say, "Alex, thank you, don't think about it, I accept it." “
Alex was not surprised, and replied: "Okay, if there is no problem on your side, I would like to explain that according to the current situation, in the six months that you have been at Danny TA, the marketing business you are in charge of now will also be managed at the same time." ”
Alex added: "We all know that Danny is a workaholic, he is very demanding on people and his work, and you have to be mentally prepared for it, it's a tough challenge. ”
Terry pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I have no problem, but if I am in the United States, China's business, there may be some difficulties due to time difference, I suggest that I still be in charge, and at the same time appoint someone to assist me in the management, this is a test exercise for this person, but also for the future restructuring of the reserve management talents." ”
Alex thought about it and agreed: "It seems that you are very confident, this is a good suggestion, you should think about the right person first, sort out the specific details of a report, and email me and Danny." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best to tidy it up, thank you again, Alex," Terry said. ”
Alex encouraged, "You're welcome, I wish you success." “
Terry was still a little excited after hanging up the phone, he seemed to be one step closer to his goal, but he had some concerns, his relationship with Muzi had just been settled, and it was not very stable, and he was going to leave for half a year at this time, would there be any changes between the two of them?
However, Terry comforted himself: fortunately, half a year is not a very long time, and there should be no problems.
Just came back from his hometown, and on this day, Muzi got off work on time and went home to rest.
Just after taking a shower, I was half-leaning on the bed and reading a book leisurely, when my mother called.
Muzi reached out and picked up the phone: "Mom." ”
"Muzi, the road is going well today. Mom asked with concern.
"Well, it's going well, you don't have to worry about me. Muzi was leaning on the bed, his father was sick at home, and the company had an accident, Muzi was a little worried.
"Muzi, you listen to your mother, you can come back to see your father this time, your focus is still to work with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about it at home. Mom said earnestly.
"Well, Mom, you don't have to worry about me, it's you, you have to take care of Dad, and you have to pay attention to your body, you are now the pillar of the family. ”
"Don't worry, I'm in good health, as soon as you left today, your parents in the summer came to the hospital to see your father, and they also wrapped a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, which is almost half of their salary. Mom said with emotion:
"After so many years, Lao Xia's family, they really take care of our family, you and Xia grew up together, and now both of them are in Shencheng, you and Xia have to take care of each other. ”
"Don't worry, Mom, I know, I will. Alright, Mom, go and accompany Dad. ”
Hanging up the phone, Muzi dialed Summer easily.
Summer picked up the phone, and there was some weakness: "Hey, Muzi." ”
"Summer, did you tell your parents about my father's illness?" asked Muzi.
yes, I was too far away to go, so I told them to let them go and see their uncle. Summer replied naturally.
"Summer, thank you for your trouble. Muzi's heart warmed.
Summer said: "What are you talking about, what is the relationship between the two of us." ”
Muzi laughed and asked, "Summer, why do you sound like you don't have much energy?"
"I'm unemployed. Summer said depressedly.
"What's the matter? I didn't hear you before. Muzi said in surprise.
"It was also a sudden decision in the past few days, I have been working as an administrative assistant in the company, and I want to change to work in human resources considering personal development. Then I applied for an interview for the position of the company's human resources department, and now the head of the department knows, and the current leader wears small shoes for me everywhere, and I quarreled with him two days ago yesterday, and I was angry......"
"This person is really, and the company is not opened by him, everyone has their own ambitions. This man is really small-bellied. ”
"If you've decided to quit your job, look for a job with peace of mind. Muzi comforted.
"Not yet, I'm submitting my resume online now. It's not easy to find a job now, and alas, I kind of regret why I'm so impulsive. Summer said a little depressed.
"Is there any room for redemption?" Muzi confirmed.
"I've already started the process of leaving my job. Summer pouted:
"The company's personnel department is also too unreliable, let me go to the interview, and before I could do anything, I ran to my leader and said, I can't stay in the company anymore, and now the leader thinks I'm eating inside and out. ”
"What is your day of departure?" asked Muzi.
At the end of this month, Muzi counted the days: "There are more than 20 days left, don't worry, let's try to submit your resume first." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it, oh, by the way, Muzi, you must not tell my parents first, or they will be worried. Summer hurriedly instructed.
"Okay, I got it. I was looking for a job before, and I compiled a lot of interview materials, and I will send them to you for reference, but at that time, I was relatively novice, and I was not sure if you could use those materials. Muzi stuck out his tongue gently, and remembered the scene when he went to EB for an interview, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Okay, you can send it to me. Summer didn't notice it over the phone, but said with some guilt:
"Muzi, I'm very sad to know that your father is sick, and after telling my parents, they said let me comfort you more. ”
"But you know, I'm not very good at comforting people, and I'm afraid you'll be even more upset if I keep talking about it in front of you, so ......"
"Got it, silly girl, I can feel it even if you don't say it. Muzi hurried to appease Summer.
"Well, that's the case first, and then I'll go online to find out if there is a suitable position. Hang up first. ”
Summer hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Yu standing behind him.
"Muzi's father is sick?" Chen Yu confirmed.
Xia suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Chen Yumuzi about his father's illness, and said a little apologetically: "Oh, his father's lung cancer." I also just knew about it for a few days, and Muzi didn't tell you?"
Chen Yu was silent and turned back to his room.
This night, Chen Yu couldn't sleep, and he still couldn't let go of Muzi in his heart, his father had such a serious illness, she should be sad, right?
