179, Freemasonry

Chinese take English names, except for those who are cool, fashionable, and foreign, basically for the convenience of foreigners, and it is the same thing as foreigners taking Chinese names to facilitate Chinese.

Just like the former governor of Hong Kong, Christopher / Francis/ Patten, and the governor of Washington State Gary Locke (Gary/ Faye/Locke), directly let the Chinese call the names of these two goods, even if it is transliterated, most people are confused, confused, and do not know what to do.

Taking a Chinese name is simple and easy to remember, Patten, Locke, the Chinese understand it as soon as they hear it, and they can quickly take a seat and know who they are talking about.

Therefore, knowing that he would be engaged in the foreign trade industry in the future and dealing with foreigners, Wang Qi also followed the trend and chose an English name for himself.

However, his English name is not to turn the dictionary like others and follow the name often used by foreigners, but according to the pronunciation of his Chinese name, combined with the writing form of pinyin, among hundreds of thousands of English words, he carefully selected an English word "atch (watch, attention, observation)" that is very similar to his Chinese name "Wang Qi angqi" as his English name.

This English name must sound strange to foreigners. Wang Qi has studied English for so long, watched so many Hollywood movies and English, and has never heard anyone called "atch". The English name he chose was not so much a name as a code name or a nickname.

But what does it matter?

The name is essentially a code name, which is convenient for others to shout and easy to distinguish who is who. He didn't know what others thought, and he didn't care, anyway, he himself was quite satisfied with the name he gave himself, mainly because it was too similar to his Chinese name, both in shape and pronunciation.

After Mu Yongqiang announced the adjournment of the meeting, he immediately got up and left. The rest of the leaders such as "Mr. Li" and "Mr. Tang" also got up and left.

Ministers, began to greet the newcomers of the department, surrounded by the newcomers, as if the general who had won the battle and divided the spoils of war, he walked towards his department in high spirits, planning to convene the personnel of the department, and then hold a short meeting to introduce the talents who were included and the fresh blood that was replenished to the new and old colleagues of the department.

Wang Qi and Huang Yan didn't move, they both stared at their current top boss, the Eighth Minister Pu Longzhou.

Park Longzhou is a young man in his early thirties, not tall, in his early sixties, with a sallow complexion, and a loyal appearance, even a little shy. He has only been a minister for a short time, and he was not promoted from a senior salesman like other ministers, he used to be an engineer at the group's general machinery factory in Xiaxin Street, Jiangnan District, which is considered a technical background.

Two years ago, Park Yongzhou felt that he had no future in technology, so he began to learn English on his own and began to rely on more profitable export sales. Through his own efforts and various fateful meetings, he finally won the appreciation of Xiao Chengbo, the vice president in charge of global general machinery in the import and export company, and served as the head of the eighth business department, that is, the "Global General Machinery Department", which was established only last month.

Of course, there is still a word "generation" in front of him, the "minister", and like Wang Qi and other "new recruits" who have just joined the company, they are all in the probationary period, and it is estimated that the word "generation" will be removed from the head after a few months of smooth operation of the business of the department at the end of the year.

Because he is the youngest minister in the company, at today's newcomer distribution meeting, Wang Qi noticed that he, the new minister, the future boss looks timid, lack of confidence, not only dare not compete with Gong Kaiyuan, Liu Yingdong These old qualifications to grab people, when other ministers spoke enthusiastically, and Mu Yongqiang, Li Qiming several company leaders "bargaining", expressing their needs or "dissatisfaction", Park Longzhou also just sat on the side, not a little flattering to echo the words of others, or "hehehe" smirked.

"Uh...... That one...... We won't go out, y, you go to the general communication department on the sixth floor and call your senior brother and sister to come up for a short meeting...... Alas, forget it, I'll go, the location of our department is a bit out of the way, it's not easy to find, and you don't know the two brothers and sisters. Seeing that the rest of the people were gone, and his two "recruits" were also looking at him, Park Longzhou was going to call Huang Yan downstairs to call someone, but after thinking about it, he still stood up by himself. On the way, he had to think carefully about how to open this meeting later, how to establish his authority in front of the two newcomers, and at the same time, he could pull and beat the two newcomers to convince them.

Since becoming acting minister, Park Yongzhou has recently been studying two books: "Guiguzi" and "Houheixue". He studied word by word for a month, and felt that he had gained a lot, and he was eye-opening to the ancestors' "art of controlling people" in terms of employing people, governing people, rectifying people, and harming people, and admired them so much.

After Pu Longzhou left, Huang Yan got up and walked to the door to take a look, and after seeing Pu Longzhou walking away, he walked straight to Wang Qi's side and sat down next to him, sighed, and said to Wang Qi with a lonely and unwilling face:

"Alas, Wang Qi, eleven newcomers, other people and various departments are rushing to ask for it, when it is the turn of the two of us, everyone will be suspicious, and no one will want it. The two of us really have the same disease. ”

"yes, it's a rotten ball. If Mr. Mu doesn't assign the two of us to Minister Park, maybe we can pack our bags and go home now. Wang Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth and echoed, his heart was empty, and he felt that many things were disillusioned at once.

In the past, Wang Qi always felt that in officialdom, state-owned enterprises, enterprises and institutions, it was not uncommon for flattery, sloppy horses, back doors, relationships, and gangs to form factions, because Chinese society has been operating like this for thousands of years.

However, even in the private enterprises and private enterprises that have always paid attention to efficiency and achievements, paid attention to results, and relied on performance to speak, they are also full of metaphysical bureaucratic style, full of human favors and drilling, and they are down-to-earth and willing to work on both sides, stealing and playing tricks, flattering, and being able to pat on the back, and standing in the middle with a bit of a posture.

Very disappointed!

Since going to work, except for the week of military training, he was a little lazy, and the rest of the time, he can be said to work harder than anyone else - study hard, work hard to improve, work hard to specialize, worthy of the sky, worthy of the ground, and even more worthy of Zong Xin's 40/day salary that Zong Xin is paying him now!

And what about Wang Jianchao and Ma Qiurong? What did they do all day long, apart from flattery, slapping horses, and drilling camps everywhere?

However, the final result is that these two treacherous people have entered the most promising and potential department of the company, and he, an old cow who works hard and sweats, has become a "rotten fruit" and "rotten ball" that no one wants and no one picks up!

"Lao Tzu is not convinced!" Thinking of the disappointment and sourness, Wang Qi, who was blue-faced, slammed the table with his fist and roared.

His hammer startled Huang Yan on the side, and quickly looked back, and only then pulled his sleeve after seeing no one, and said with palpitations:

"Wang Qi, be quiet, it will be bad if you are heard by Minister Park! Now that the department has been assigned, and President Mu and the other ministers have also left, what is the use of us being dissatisfied, no matter how angry we are? Let's stay in the general machine department for a while, and then talk about business for a while. If the business can be done, continue to stay, if the business can't be done, then think of other ways to see if it can be transferred to other departments. There seems to be a precedent for this in our company. Take your time and don't despair too much. ”

Wang Qi is to vent and relieve the dissatisfaction in his heart. He wasn't a fool, and before complaining, he had already glanced at the door twice. was persuaded by Huang Yan, and he sighed, nodded and said:

"Yes, Tracy, now that the dust has settled and the wood is done, what's the use of us being dissatisfied? Jiangcheng is not the only one who does export business, and when the actual operation process of foreign trade is clarified, contacts and customers have also accumulated.

"It's just, atch, that's what I thought. Now I don't want to think so much, and I don't hope to make much money, the most important thing is to save experience, customers and contacts! When you practice the basic skills at home, just like you said, 'There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here', the road outside is very wide, don't worry about not going out!" Huang Yan nodded frequently, what Wang Qi said just now was on her heart.
