Chapter 176 [Agent (II)]
At noon, Mo Fan and Lu Xiaorong were eating in the restaurant on the third floor, and Lin Ruoxi sat down next to them with a plate of cooked rice.
Lu Xiaorong owed Lin Ruoxi and called "Mr. Lin", she has always paid attention to etiquette in the workplace, and she has a heartfelt respect for this female boss who is younger than herself. Mo Fan said "I'm back" very casually, as if he was greeting a familiar ordinary colleague. Lin Ruoxi nodded to Lu Xiaorong, and hummed again in response to Mo Fan, and then began to eat the lunch on his plate.
This is the second time that the three of them have eaten at a table in this restaurant, and it is also the second time that Lin Ruoxi has come here. It's not that Lin Ruoxi thinks that the food here is not good, her lunch is basically solved on the desk, most of the time Pan Qi brings it from here to make a meal, sometimes she even uses instant noodles, bread and other things to deal with it, Mo Fan has seen it a few times.
If he didn't know some of Lin Ruoxi's details, Mo Fan couldn't help but suspect that she had an abnormal sense of taste. With her background, many habits have been cultivated since childhood, and this imprint is difficult to erase, and the so-called aristocratic temperament comes from this. For example, something like eating, occasionally dealing with a meal can be regarded as an adjustment, and it is a bit strange that it is often so. Liang Wenbo is not a picky eater, but when he has shark fin to eat, that kid definitely doesn't eat vermicelli, if he eats instant noodles for two days in a row, he will definitely have a bitter gourd face, how can she be as unparticular as Lin Ruoxi, is she practicing penance?
The three of them didn't speak during the meal, and when they finished eating, Lin Ruoxi said: "The company's restaurant will be ready for use next week." ”
Mo Fan said with a smile: "It turns out that Lin always comes here to experience the environment before the company's restaurant opens. ”
Lin Ruoxi said lightly: "It won't be closed here, so you won't be able to experience it in the future." ”
Lu Xiaorong glanced at Mo Fan, blaming him for making this joke a little out of place.
Mo Fan smiled, he didn't take it seriously, but he felt that Lin Ruoxi seemed to have an opinion about himself. As for whether it was because she did not preside over the regular meeting in the morning according to her arrangement, or because of this joke, it is unknown.
The three of them left the restaurant and walked out, Lin Ruoxi said to Mo Fan: "Wait in my office, I have something to talk to you about." After a pause, he said, "Squeeze your lunch break, you can leave work early in the afternoon." ”
Lu Xiaorong suddenly had a very strange feeling. It is too rare for the boss to ask the employee to talk about work, and he has to add a description of the replacement working hours. Although it is logically true, it is not uncommon in the workplace for superiors to squeeze out the rest time of subordinates. The leader asks you to talk about work, which is to value you, and at the same time the leader is also working, what qualifications do you have to chirp.
Mo Fan has put forward his opinions to Lin Ruoxi about overtime more than once, and what he said, "Work hard during working hours, and throw away work after work, so that it is more in line with the international trend", I think it is for this reason that Lin Ruoxi will have such a saying.
On the plus side, this can be seen as Lin Ruoxi's acceptance of Mo Fan's opinion, which can be regarded as a kind of respect. At worst, this seems to be an irony, accusing Mo Fan of being too careful about his working hours.
Lu Xiaorong couldn't see what Lin Ruoxi's true thoughts were, but she felt that the latter was more likely, and she was faintly worried about Mo Fan.
Mo Fan said very seriously: "Then there is no need, I am happy to contribute to the company." ”
Just kidding, what can you do when you leave work half an hour early? Can you ignore the customer's call to order?
Speaking of work, Mo Fan does a lot of private things during work hours, as evidenced by the increasing personal assets in the futures market, and Lin Ruoxi's mention of replacing working hours can't help but make him a little embarrassed. But when he thought that he had not delayed his business, whether it was the work of the sales supervisor or the assistant to the general manager, it had been completed with quality and quantity, and he was justified again.
Lu Xiaorong looked at Mo Fan's serious appearance, as if she had made a lot of sacrifice, which was really angry and funny. In the whole company, who saw Mr. Lin was not respectful, and only he would be so out of tune. Looking at Lin Ruoxi again, he nodded slightly, there was no difference in his expression, and he couldn't help but secretly let go of his worries.
……
……
Back at the company, Mo Fan first went to his office to get the two documents, and then went to the general manager's office.
Lin Ruoxi read Mo Fan's opinion, didn't say anything, put down the document and asked, "Why didn't you preside over the meeting in the morning?"
Mo Fan said: "I think this is beyond my authority, and it is not appropriate for me to preside over the regular meeting." ”
In the morning, Pan Qi said that if he felt that there was nothing wrong with the two documents, he would ask him to preside over the regular meeting. This can be regarded as a conditional statement, and it was on this ground that Mo Fan sent Pan Qi at that time. I don't know if this is Lin Ruoxi's original words, but in the face of Lin Ruoxi, too much quibbling is meaningless. Mo Fan wrote a lot of opinions and suggestions in these two documents, but they were not about principle, and only played the role of checking and filling in the gaps.
Lin Ruoxi said: "Since I have authorized you, how can I say that I have exceeded my authority?"
Mo Fan said: "You only let the secretary convey it verbally, it's too child's play, right? Of course, I don't suspect that Secretary Pan is pretending to pass on the holy decree, but I just think that this kind of problem must be cautious." ”
He is not making a fuss when he says this. If the boss always communicates his opinions verbally through the secretary, for the people below, it is the secretary who exercises the boss's authority. If you are a secretary, it is enough, otherwise it will cause a big hidden danger. Everyone is selfish, and in that position, seeing the company's personnel changes and capital control all under their hands, it will inevitably be corroded over time. In ancient times, many powerful eunuchs came from this way. Rather than requiring the person in this position to be of high character, it is better to restrain it from the system.
Lin Ruoxi said: "Before the bid opening for the Xiheyuan project, I appointed you as the company's deputy general manager. Pan Qi conveys my words only to remind you of your duty, not to convey my authorization. ”
Mo Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, no wonder Pan Qi has been calling himself Mr. Mo recently, it turns out that this is the case.
But isn't it, after Lin Ruoxi appointed him as deputy general manager, he did not propose to change his work content, so the appointment at that time should still be valid. The company does not have a vice president now, and he, the temporary vice president, is the second person under the general manager. Lin Ruoxi has something to do, and the company's regular meeting should be presided over by him.
In this way, last weekend he proposed that everyone should rest normally, and Lin Ruoxi easily agreed, which may have something to do with it. As the second-in-command of the company, you should always have the right to speak.
Thinking of this, Mo Fan said: "I'm sorry, I was negligent. ”
Lin Ruoxi looked at him and said, "Is it just negligence?"
Mo Fan smiled and said, "You know, in terms of company operations, there are some concepts that I have different from you. So I think it's safer for you to check the gates. ”
Lin Ruoxi said: "After this period of running-in, I don't think it's a problem anymore. If there is a disagreement, I will naturally consult with you first. ”
Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and said, "Okay, to be honest, I don't want to get involved in the dispute between the management, at least I'm not ready for this yet." ”
Haitian Technology and Trade is different from the general newly established small companies, not only has a large stall, many employees, more than 200 people up and down, and most of the people are from Haitian Electronics, and they have some qualifications. For example, Qi Weiming, the chief financial officer, has been working for Haitian for nearly 20 years, and he is a veteran-level figure here.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are grievances, and where there are grievances, there are rivers and lakes. The company seems to be harmonious, but in fact, they are secretly competing with each other, and there are a lot of small actions behind the scenes. It seems that where there are people gathered, this kind of thing cannot be avoided.
Perhaps compared with other places, the water in the small rivers and lakes of Haitian Science and Trade is not so muddy, but it is definitely not shallow. The management here is inextricably linked with Haitian Electronics and the executives of Haitian Group, and the factional struggle within the group naturally extends here.
Even a newly promoted executive like Lu Xiaorong is not completely immune. The people below felt that she had no background, and she went from a small supervisor to a high position as a director, and they all sighed that she was lucky. However, it is not difficult for the executives from Haitian Electronics to know that Lu Xiaorong is a person that Mr. He is optimistic about, and her backing is quite hard, but her own foundation is very shallow. The recent rumors in the company that are out of tune are probably inseparable from the promotion of well-intentioned people
In this regard, Haitian Science and Trade is really not as good as those small companies in the initial stage, more than a dozen people have seven or eight guns, and they work hard to start a business, and there are not so many rights and wrongs.
I believe that Lin Ruoxi will never be ignorant of these things. Her position is too high, and she can't see many things, but she should at least understand a rough idea, otherwise it will be down to the same level as Liang Wenbo. So Mo Fan mentioned the last sentence, just stop at the point.
Lin Ruoxi was silent for a while and said, "The matter here is not complicated. ”
Mo Fan said: "It's not that simple. There are some things that you do and I do, and the consequences are different. ”
Every decision of the company will more or less involve everyone's interests. And the person who announces the decision naturally becomes a target. Although this is not a strict zero-sum game, there are always people who are satisfied and people who are dissatisfied, and everyone dare not tell Lin Ruoxi what to do, but nine times out of ten they will settle the account on him.
Mo Fan was not afraid of trouble coming to the door, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. If it's like making a cameo appearance as the chief engineer in Chen Weijie, it's not a big deal to pat your ass and leave after the matter is done, and offend everyone completely. The problem is that he still has to work here for a while, and Lu Xiaorong is afraid that he will work for a longer time.
Anger is a very bad quality in human nature, but unfortunately there are many people who have this quality. Mo Fan doesn't think about himself, he has to think about Lu Xiaorong.
Lin Ruoxi seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Your worries are unnecessary. Everywhere I see in the company, fairness and justice are guaranteed. For Lu Xiaorong, I will be more attentive. ”
Mo Fan felt that she was a little too full of words, although there was a "what you see" as a premise, but it was really difficult to be fair in everything when managing such a large company. Without him, there are no fish when the water is clear.
However, Lin Ruoxi has said it to this point, and it would be a little too hypocritical to refuse again.
Mo Fan nodded and said, "You have to go out a lot lately?"
Lin Ruoxi said: "I am going to talk about the provincial agency in person." In my absence, please take the position of acting general manager. ”
Mo Fan couldn't help but touch his nose, this is to catch ducks on the shelves, and said: "I have something to do on the weekend, I want to report to you." ”
