Chapter 98: New Changes
Last Friday, when Shen Tai'an was preparing to work on the project of Weisheng Real Estate, he originally planned to organize a team of about ten people, and he announced it in the sales hall, so everyone knew about it.
After Lu Xiaorong took over the project, she got nearly 20 people, which will inevitably make people with a heart have all kinds of ideas. There are those who question her abilities, those who question her motives, and those who simply want to see her jokes.
But as the project unfolded, some people got a taste of something unusual.
As Mo Fan said, although there are no great talents in the sales department, there are many smart people.
After learning some details of Lu Xiaorong's working methods, these people guessed that this was probably a regular operation mode for large customers in the future. At the very moment when a sales company is about to be founded, a new way of working means that new changes will occur.
And a small incident that happened on Thursday confirmed their judgment.
Here's why. Two days after the start of the work, Lu Xiaorong found that several people had a very problematic attitude towards work, and the tasks assigned to them were always perfunctory, so she decisively kicked them out.
In a team, the most important thing is impartiality. If you can't achieve clear rewards and punishments, the entire team will lose its combat effectiveness, so Lu Xiaorong will never tolerate this situation. And after she eliminated those people, the rest of them were obviously more enthusiastic about their work.
Then the next day, that is, on Thursday morning, as soon as she got to work, Lu Xiaorong received a call from Zhong Yan, saying that she would transfer four people from the operation department to participate in the work of the Weisheng Real Estate project.
Although Zhong Yan didn't say it explicitly, Lu Xiaorong could hear that this should be He Dong's instructions, indicating that the chairman is very satisfied with what she is doing at present. Of course, the four new people are not to make up for the lack of manpower, but to be able to integrate into the work of the new department as soon as possible in the future and run in in advance. In other words, these are the four staff members selected by Headquarters for the new department.
As soon as the end of work arrived that day, the four people appointed by the operation department came to the sales department to report to Lu Xiaorong. This is undoubtedly a fairly obvious signal in the eyes of people with a heart. Even people who don't know the inside story can see some clues from it.
Some smart people in the sales department began to consider whether the current job was more ideal, or whether it was more promising to follow Lu Xiaorong.
……
……
On Friday afternoon, people's hearts are impetuous. Especially when it is time to get off work, many people start to contact friends to discuss activities to eat, drink and have fun in the evening.
Mo Fan was also affected by this atmosphere to a certain extent, and opened the MSN chat box to harass Lu Xiaorong.
ABC: It's almost time to get off work.
Lulu: Oh.
ABC: What would you like to eat tonight?
Lulu: Whatever, you've got your idea.
ABC: I want to go out for a big meal!
Lulu: It's such a waste of time, why don't you order a pizza?
Mo Fan looked at this line of words and felt a little helpless. Of course, the boss likes employees who are extremely committed to their work, but as a boyfriend, he says he can't accept it.
Because she leads the project of Weisheng Real Estate, Lu Xiaorong's work is at a critical moment, and she will have to work overtime tomorrow and the next two days, so she naturally has no leisure and time for the weekend.
Mo Fan actually didn't expect Lu Xiaorong to go out for a big meal, but he felt that he should improve the food anyway, otherwise today's burger and tomorrow's pizza will not be able to turn people into a trash can sooner or later?
With Lu Xiaorong's strength at work, if Mo Fan hadn't insisted on having dinner with the two, he would definitely deal with it more casually, and it would be possible to even skip eating at all. So from the day Lu Xiaorong started working overtime, Mo Fan had dinner with her and then went home.
But then again, the reason why Lu Xiaorong is so busy now is also due to him. If it weren't for his suggestion to complicate simple problems, where would it be necessary to invest so much work time? It's just that if she doesn't take this opportunity to exercise, it is difficult to guarantee that after she arrives at her new position, she will encounter a bunch of problems at once, and she will be overwhelmed. It can be seen that everything in this world is full of gains and losses, and there are gains and losses.
After thinking about it, Mo Fan still ordered a pizza from the Internet. At least in this kind of fast food, there are staple foods, vegetables, and meats, which are still better than hamburgers.
As soon as the end of the day came, the number of people in the sales hall decreased dramatically, and soon more than half of them disappeared.
Mo Fan saw that Lu Xiaorong was still in the office, so he said to her on MSN, "Aren't you resting yet?"
After a while, Lu Xiaorong finally came out of the office and walked towards Mo Fan. When she was about to get to her, Qiu Yan stood up and greeted her and said, "Sister Lu." ”
Lu Xiaorong said, "Don't you go to dinner yet?"
The staff in charge of the project of Weisheng Real Estate had an hour of meal break after work, and officially started working overtime at 6 o'clock.
Qiu Yan smiled and said, "Let's go." He pulled out his chair, put it next to Mo Fan's table, and said, "Sister Lu, sit down." He glanced at Mo Fan secretly, turned around and walked out.
Qiu Yan's attitude towards Mo Fan is very different from the past, obviously with a little awe. is also very different from Lu Xiaorong, always with some flattery.
This kind of behavior made Lu Xiaorong feel very awkward, but it was difficult to say anything. At the instigation of Mo Fan, she had a special purpose for Qiu Yan, so she felt even more uncomfortable. It doesn't hurt to have a lot of people at work, but if the two of them are alone, she will feel quite embarrassed.
Mo Fan also knew that at present, Lu Xiaorong could not calculate a person in her heart, and at the same time, she could still act as if nothing had happened on the surface. After getting off work, she had dinner with Lu Xiaorong, Qiu Yan would not come forward, which could be regarded as an effective solution to her embarrassment.
"Mr. Lu, you're too busy now, aren't you?" After Qiu Yan left, Mo Fan said to Lu Xiaorong, with some reproach in his words.
"Didn't I listen to you and rest? Lu Xiaorong sat down next to Mo Fan, and when she saw that there was no one next to her, she held his hand and squeezed it gently.
Mo Fan said: "How many times have I told you, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, you should listen to me anyway, right?"
Lu Xiaorong said half-coquettishly: "When have I not listened to you, isn't it that time is tight!"
Mo Fan said: "You don't have to take everything into your own hands, as a leader, you must know how to let go." ”
Lu Xiaorong hesitated and said, "But everyone is a novice, I don't deal with it myself, I really can't put my mind at ease." ”
Mo Fan smiled and scratched her nose and said, "Aren't you also a novice?"
Lu Xiaorong wrinkled her nose and said, "Didn't I have you to teach?" ”
Mo Fan said, "You can also teach them." In team management, it's not a good thing to be hands-on, not only will it reduce your management effectiveness, but it will also affect the overall progress of the team. You have to learn to trust your subordinates and give them more room to play, so that you can lead everyone to improve together. Zhuge Liang is powerful enough, right? He is a model of doing everything himself, and in the end, he not only exhausted himself to death, but also failed to train a qualified successor. ”
Lu Xiaorong nodded thoughtfully.
Unlike the loose organizational structure of the sales department, the new department places a strong emphasis on teamwork, which places high demands on her management skills. While summarizing and learning through the work of this project, she also listened to some suggestions from Mo Fan, and has made a lot of progress recently.
The two talked, and the takeaway ordered by Mo Fan was delivered. He said to Lu Xiaorong: "Let's eat, don't think about these things when you eat." ”
"Got it!" Lu Xiaorong shook Mo Fan's hand.
For the past week, they have been eating dinner at Mo Fan's place, not in Lu Xiaorong's office. In the sales hall, although it will be eye-catching, there will be no gossip.
After eating two pieces of pizza, Mo Fan said, "I don't have to work overtime at night tomorrow, right? ”
Lu Xiaorong knew that Mo Fan was actually not a picky eater, and he ate in the canteen on the third floor at noon every day, and he didn't see him express any opinions. In saying this, it is mainly for her sake. So he smiled and said, "I won't work overtime tomorrow night, you can eat whatever you want." ”
Mo Fan said: "Speaking of this, I remembered that someone asked me last night if this week's dinner was going to be a soup. ”
Lu Xiaorong knew that the "someone" Mo Fan was talking about was Liang Wenbo. When everyone had dinner together last weekend, Liang Wenbo proposed to make the weekend family dinner a regular activity, and she not only responded, but also took on the work of being in charge.
"Then I'll cook at your place tomorrow night. Lu Xiaorong paused as she spoke, her face slightly red, "Why don't I go to you tonight?"
When Mo Fan saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little ripple in his heart.
Men and women who have just broken through the taboo relationship always want to stay together all the time. Mo Fan and Lu Xiaorong are no exception, they were in this state for the two days off last week. However, although it is sweet, Lu Xiaorong has some worries, thinking that it is still time to focus on her career, and if she continues like this, she will lose her fighting spirit and become unenterprising. The other two will inevitably get tired of staying together for a long time, and they may quarrel and quarrel, and they will always be trapped in the world of the two, which will make their personal social circle narrower and narrower, and gradually lose some friends.
Mo Fan admitted that Lu Xiaorong was very reasonable, at least he became very lazy in those two days, and he didn't want to do anything, or how to say that Gentle Township was a hero's mound. Two people are closed in their own world, and it is indeed easy to cause some contradictions and problems, and sometimes it is purely self-seeking awkwardness to find trouble. That's why people liken this relationship to a siege: the outside always wants to get in, but the inside always wants to get out.
After some discussion, the two reached a consensus on the problem of getting along: in the future, they will go back to their respective homes in the evening as they used to do on weekdays, and get together again when they rest, but it is best to carry out some activities with friends, such as the weekend dinner advocated by Liang Wenbo.
Mo Fan also thought of another level from this. Of course, life experience comes from life, but Lu Xiaorong has never talked about friends in the past, so there is only one possibility left: these life insights of hers come from her family.
After getting acquainted with Lu Xiaorong, Mo Fan found that she had always lacked a sufficient sense of security, such as becoming overwhelmed when encountering some emergencies, and working hard to make good results, which was actually an external reaction. Maybe only success in her career will make her feel more at ease. Now that he has a boyfriend, the situation is better again.
Generally speaking, people who are insecure are mostly related to their upbringing. So Mo Fan was a little suspicious that Lu Xiaorong's family environment was more or less problematic.
However, Mo Fan didn't ask these things, he hoped that as the relationship between the two deepened, Lu Xiaorong would be able to tell it herself.
