The Alice Tower is surrounded by high-rise office buildings, and naturally there is no shortage of cafes, and Starbucks Peugeot is easy to find, but in a few moments, the two of them took a seat in one of the stores. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"A latte. Monica put the bag aside and looked at Alice: "Miss Wang, are you sure you drink milk tea?"

Seventeen-year-old girl, looking at the age, there is no need to strictly follow the lifestyle of minors, Alice blinked, raised her eyebrows, and finally shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, then have a cappuccino." But don't rush to tell Oscar, or he won't be able to control his mouth. ”

Monica smiled and ordered a cappuccino from the waiter.

Although the age difference is not small, about ten years old, and it is a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a few months of getting along with each other is enough to make the two of them become ordinary ** people. After a moment of silence in the coffee shop, Monica took the lead in laughing mode.

"Miss Wang, the choice of cappuccino is really very suitable, its milk content is extraordinarily high. If you drink an espresso for the first time you taste coffee, I'm afraid you'll have to jump in a nightclub, right?"

Alice shook her head and said, "Two different things, two different things, I just want to be a good legal citizen." By the way, Monica, you're also British, what is the percentage of British secondary school students who smoke marijuana?"

Monica frowned, it would be a lie to say that this topic is insensitive, she pondered for a moment before she spoke: "Of course, there are a lot of proportions, but it also depends on the situation, not to mention that I can't come up with any statistics." But it feels like it's still better than the situation in American public high schools, and we still control it more strictly. ”

Alice nodded silently, which brought the coffee over, and the two didn't talk about anything else. You take a bite, I take a bite, Monica was not surprised to see that Alice's expression was extremely calm when she drank coffee for the "first time".

Yes, I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run, just drink a cup of coffee, compared to the first time I snapped with the opposite sex, it's completely insignificant.

"Actually, Monica ......" Grunted and drank two sips of coffee, Alice said: "It's normal to be formally called at work, and now it's time for us to get off work, just call me Alice." By the way, it seems like the first time we've come to the street for a drink or something, right?"

"It's the first time, Wang...... Alice, since you asked for so. Monica replied, a little unsure of what the boss was up to.

For more than half a year, Monica has been working at Roswell House in London, and it can be said that although she has taken the position of Alice's secretary, it is only recently that she has officially come into contact with the entire corporate empire of this magical girl. She had been curious from the beginning, what kind of brain circuit could make a seventeen-year-old girl pop up so many amazing ideas every minute?

The thoughts that flashed in the secretary's eyes were easily captured by Alice.

"Monica, you're on a three-year contract with me. She stirred the coffee seemingly casually: "Have you considered your future career plan?" When Li Zekai introduced you to you, of course I had read your resume, graduated from a bachelor's degree in law and a part-time MBA program, and you jumped to me a year after you got this certificate. So now, I really have to ask you again, are you going to stay with me in three years' time, or are you going to find a better company to find another job?"

After saying this, she didn't even need to raise her head, she immediately added: "Of course, of course, we are all young people full of enthusiasm, long live understanding." If you do go to work for another big company, when I find your new company to do business one day, that's also a network, right?"

It turned out to be such a bridge, and Monica suddenly understood. The boss cares about his subordinates, and the boss cares about his secretary, which is a very important part of the workplace. Especially with the completion of the Alice Building, this promising girl can be said to have pushed her career forward by a huge step.

After all, the position of secretary of the board of directors really has too many secrets.

Monica let out a long breath.

Fortunately, there is always a lively environment in Starbucks, with elegant soft music, the noise of the front desk, and the whispered chatter of customers around her, all of which are enough to make her relax quickly.

After a moment of silence, Monica replied in a decent, elegant and calm manner: "Ten years, I don't think I will have any plans to change jobs for at least ten years." ”

Alice was noncommittal: "Reason?"

"There are two things that job seekers look for when they apply. Monica replied fluently and naturally: "One is the salary, plus the potential for one's own career development, one is the size of the company and its development potential, and then there is the combined benefits of the two." ”

"And then?"

"Although Miss Wang's development time is still short, your career development speed is amazingly fast, and this is almost all based on the solid technical foundation and product quality, rather than simply relying on luck, and the kind of sales eloquence that fluctuates and does not have a complete guarantee. Time period, high degree, and you're still so young, I want to change jobs...... Hehe, at least for ten years, right?"

With that, both of them couldn't help but laugh easily. Including Monica, including Alice.

To say that the position of secretary of the board of directors is indeed very unusual.

In fact, after most people have reached the senior management level in the company, it is difficult to have behaviors such as job hopping, especially for board secretaries. Unless they are just a group of airborne troops, their relationship with the company is limited.

yes, that's the problem. After all, people have feelings, and when a low-level employee moves to the company's high-level position little by little through hard work, the time and effort paid will naturally make him reluctant to leave here. And looking at this whole cycle, it is clear that it is often measured in five-year units.

It is said that the work intensity of the Big Four accounting firms is high, and the income is high after job hopping, so the high job hopping rate cannot retain people, but that is also because it is indeed a standard promotion a year, a salary increase a year, as long as five years is a manager, and a senior manager for seven years earns more than 10,000 US dollars a month. And if you can really survive to the partner level after seven years and enjoy the right to dividends, it will be more than 500,000 US dollars a year!

You must know that as an accountant, what you pay attention to is work experience, and one year in an accounting firm is completely equal to three or five years in an ordinary enterprise. Actual business ability is a universal pass, but if anyone in the firm changes jobs to an ordinary company, it is just a matter of raising the salary, can the salary be reduced? Therefore, unless an accountant really survives to the level of a partner in the firm, he can change jobs in every second......

But as many people know, accountants, secretaries, CFOs, and board secretaries are all positions that hold the core secrets of a large enterprise. Even if it is the Airborne Forces, it is just a matter if a person does not sit in this position, and if he really sits on it, it will be extremely difficult to move his butt again.

That's why Monica had the audacity to extend the contract for another ten years, even if she had only been with Alice for more than half a year so far. It's so simple to change the secretary of the board of directors, especially Alice is still in the period of rapid career development, and the thirteen years before and after are really not long!

"Okay, okay, I won't change jobs for ten years!" Alice laughed, and didn't spill it with half full coffee: "Then we have to discuss the marriage leave and maternity leave in advance, but don't you suddenly give me a half-year vacation when I need you!"

"Don't worry, Wang...... Alice. Monica smacked her mocha and said, "I'm an absolute career woman, and although I've been in love, it's all gone." In the past six months, I believe you have also seen how hard I work at work, this is my favorite. ”

Admittedly, this makes Alice irrefutable. You know, her energy is absolutely not lacking, and it is not a problem to work all night for several days in a row, and during this period, although Monica has rest, she is also sleeping directly in the research institute or umbrella company, on call.

"Okay, that's good, that's good. ”

After drinking the cappuccino in two sips, Alice beckoned to the messenger again: "Pour me a cup of charcoal, thank you." ”

Monica sat opposite and raised her slender willow eyebrows slightly: "That's very thick." ”

"Because I have to work hard again today~" I realized that the old cup was taken away, Alice simply took out a tissue and wiped her hands: "The most important thing, you quickly contact the relevant departments for me and install all the telephone lines for me." Grandma's, the office building, this is a situation, even a landline can't be played, and the water pipelines are all arranged!"

I began to think about it again, but how can I blame others? Which office building didn't arrange all the relevant hardware when it was officially put into operation? The house I built myself, I was in a hurry to settle in, and now I lack this and that, and of course the tooth I knocked out can only swallow it by myself~

"No problem, I'll get in touch right away, but it's already afternoon and they're afraid they won't be able to install it for us tomorrow. Are you in a hurry to contact anyone? I brought my phone. ”

With that, Monica had already taken out her phone from her purse. It's a big brother, Motorola's efficiency is poor enough, when will the classic clamshell machine be studied, you can't leave everything to Alice!?

With a grunt, Alice took the phone.
