Le Xiaoxiao's recent work status is surprisingly good, not to mention the extremely high efficiency, and many things that were originally lucky were inexplicably bet on the right treasure by her. Le Xiaoxiao selfishly felt that Zhai Xu might be his nobleman, so that his little transparent, who had never had much good luck, also rubbed on the luck value.

Zhai Xu began to go back to work normally, but Le Xiaoxiao was reluctant to disclose the relationship between the two, so Zhai Xu was very dissatisfied and could only occasionally meet Le Xiaoxiao at lunchtime, and nine times out of ten, he was crowded with a group of colleagues.

Le Xiaoxiao enjoys her current state, after all, if her relationship with Zhai Xu is exposed, she will inevitably be pushed to the forefront of the storm. It's hard to say whether it will be able to continue working normally at that time.

On this day, David routinely talked to Le Xiaoxiao to summarize his work. In fact, Le Xiaoxiao doesn't understand that he can report directly to his direct leaders, and these bosses who don't care about the details at all, what is the use of finding their own work summary. said so, but the boss is the boss after all, so he has to greet him with a smile and report clearly.

After the work was explained, David thought of something and said, "Xiaoxiao, Lin Fan, the manager of your original technical support department, and I have always valued you, and I hope you can develop in the future." ”

"Huh? Thank you David. Le Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she had to answer casually.

David is over middle age, looking at Le Xiaoxiao like a junior, and he is one of the few senior managers in the company now, in fact, he can be said to be the only senior manager who knows Le Xiaoxiao. Oh, if Zhai Xu doesn't count.

David smiled and asked, "After Yan Zhen left, the position of manager of the R&D department has been vacant. Did you see the recruitment notice sent by HR a while ago? The company does not plan to hire an external employee, but wants to recruit a front-line manager from within to share part of Yan Zhen's leadership work in the R&D department. ”

"I see it." Le Xiaoxiao nodded. Indeed, the company's recruitment notice has been issued for several weeks, and Le Xiaoxiao also knows that this is the position to replace Yan Zhen. It's just that Yan Zhen was a senior manager, that is, at the same level as David, and now he wants to recruit a first-level manager. For a moment, Le Xiaoxiao was a little moved, and imagined a little whether she would be competent if she was to be the manager.

"Would you be interested in giving it a try?" David asked bluntly, "As the interim leader of your department, I will support you in giving it a try, after all, you are very familiar with this department, both the products and the people." Of course, it's up to you. ”

"Huh?" Le Xiaoxiao didn't expect that David would encourage himself to apply, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Of course I'm interested!" ”

"Huh." David smiled, then shook his head again and said, "Why don't you apply?" ”

Le Xiaoxiao actually had the idea of applying, but later he was busy with work and Zhai Xu, so he put down the idea of applying. I was a little hesitant, I felt that my current work was in a good state, I had just stabilized, and I could occasionally touch the fish and brush the forum, and if I was a manager, it would be a busy mess. Another consideration is that I am a little too young, and most of the company's front-line managers are going to their forties, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public as a little girl under thirty.

"I don't think I'm experienced enough, I'm too young, I'm afraid the company won't consider me." Le Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was a good reason.

David interrupted her explanation and said, "You have nothing to lose by giving it a try. If it becomes natural, it is good, and if it is not, it is just to continue the current work. As far as I know, interviews for this position are about to begin, and most of the decision will be made by Alicia, the direct hiring manager. You can go to HR to apply first, and have the opportunity to talk to Alicia. ”

"Huh?" Le Xiaoxiao searched in his mind blankly, who is this Alicia. As a result, I vaguely have a little impression, it seems to be a middle-aged American woman?

"Xiaoxiao." David stood up, ready to open the door and go out, before leaving the door, he turned back and said, "In Mu Rui, you have to fight for what you want, or the pie will not fall on your head." This opportunity is good, Mu Rui's manager position is very stable, and if he misses this time, he doesn't know when it will be next time. ”

If you want it, you have to go for it. It seems to be a phrase that has been heard a lot lately. Le Xiaoxiao introspected herself if she was really too low-key, if she didn't fight or grab, no one would ever see her efforts. If Zhai Xu was already a big pie falling from the sky, he would be hit without doing any effort. That's really like David said, no more pies.

When he returned to his workstation, he looked up just in time to see Yan Zhen's vacant office in front of him. Le Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, flipped out the previous HR recruitment email from the mailbox, and quickly sorted out her resume and cover letter.

Transparent Ming: I have to leave later in the evening, so I made an appointment for a meeting.

Zhai Xu: Isn't your group too busy lately?

Transparent: En...... I made an appointment with Alicia to talk.

Zhai Xu: Got it. Send me a message when you're done, I'll be waiting for you in the office.

Le Xiaoxiao put her phone aside and returned her attention to the question she had prepared. Le Xiaoxiao sent an email saying that she wanted to know more about the position, and Alicia replied to her email very politely, thanking her for her interest in the position, and promised to chat casually before the formal interview. There will be no interview questions, but Alicia said that she is happy to explain the job responsibilities to Le Xiaoxiao so that she can prepare for the interview.

The phone call with Alicia went very smoothly, and Le Xiaoxiao felt that Alicia should like herself. Not only explained the job responsibilities on each job posting, but even expressed her expectations for the position as a hiring manager. The advantage of the conference call is that while the meeting was held, Le Xiaoxiao was able to carefully record every request and suggestion Alicia said.

Go back and get ready! Come on, Xiaoxiao!

Le Xiaoxiao cheered herself up, printed out all the relevant materials and stuffed them into her bag, and sent a message to Zhai Xu, and the two met in the garage.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhai Xu leaned idly against the elevator wall, his iron-gray suit was tied with a button outlining his thin waist, straight trouser line, and shiny leather shoes. Le Xiaoxiao found that the man in formal clothes was really handsome.

"Mr. Zhai is good." Le Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and said hello.

Zhai Xu was not leaning against the wall, stood up straight like a serious leader, nodded, and said, "Overtime?" ”

Le Xiaoxiao smiled: "Yes, I just finished it." Mr. Zhai also works overtime? ”

Zhai Xu snorted, and then said: "By the way, I work overtime, mainly waiting for my girlfriend to get off work." ”

Le Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, bit her lip and slowed down, before she reluctantly said, "Mr. Zhai is really considerate......

The dim light of the basement shone in through the open elevator door, and Le Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the first kiss that was quite intense before, which was not the first kiss. Zhai Xu, who got out of the elevator first, turned around, stretched out a hand at her, and complained: "Hurry up, starve to death." Although he complained in his mouth, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and it was not special under the bright light, Le Xiaoxiao found for the first time that Zhai Xu's eyebrows and eyes could be so soft and spoiled.

Gently put his hand on the big hand that was stretched out, and it was held tightly in an instant, warm and powerful, and the corners of his lips felt a little warm, Le Xiaoxiao looked at the side face of Zhai Xu, who was too close to him, and still couldn't react that he had broken away from the single ranks.

"You're going to apply for the R&D position in your group?" Zhai Xu asked casually while pulling Le Xiaoxiao to the parking position.

"Huh? Kindness. There is this idea. Le Xiaoxiao still couldn't adapt to Zhai Xu's intimate behavior and chatter so quickly, as if she suddenly felt like an old husband and wife...... Le Xiaoxiao's face turned red secretly, and he hurriedly said, "David said I can try, anyway, there is nothing to lose." Hey, how do you know? ”

Zhai Xu didn't answer, so he said "um" and said, "The interview should start this week, Alicia should like you." ”

"Really? I think she likes me, and I don't know why, she hasn't seen me much. Le Xiaoxiao was a little happy, after all, the hiring manager's liking was a big plus.

Zhai Xu responded: "She is in the United States, and she wants to recruit subordinates from China, and she will like you to be younger, energetic and not too slippery." If you have any ideas, talk to her more, report to her what you have done and what you have prepared. This opportunity is not bad, after all, it is the leader of your group, and people from other departments of the company are not very familiar with your group. ”

"yes, I think so too. I'll go back and prepare today. You see, I've got a lot of stuff to read. Le Xiaoxiao opened her bag and showed it to Zhai Xu, which was full of photocopied materials.

"Yes, you're full of energy, huh?" Zhai Xu looked at her vivid and energetic face, raised his hand and pinched the delicate face, which caused Le Xiaoxiao to cry out in pain, and waved his hand to beat Zhai Xu's shoulder twice.

"Then I'll take you home with a bite to eat, and get ready." Zhai Xu grabbed her two wrists with one hand, pulled Le Xiaoxiao into his arms, kissed her sideburns gently, and said with a smile, "After all, it's an important interview, and it's not good for me to bother you when you come back." ”

"That's that, if I don't get opened, I'll have to eat you in the future. So you'd better support me in preparing for the interview these days. Le Xiaoxiao leaned on Zhai Xu's shoulder, and was not in a hurry to break free, and said with a smile.

Zhai Xu let go of her and opened the car door, held on to the roof of the car and stuffed Le Xiaoxiao into the passenger seat, and said, "I know, I have invited you to a big meal, and I will solve it in the next few days." Ask me if there is anything I don't understand. ”

"Yes," Le Xiaoxiao looked at Zhai Xu, who started the car, and seemed to look at a shiny golden thigh, "Hurry up, open a small stove for me in a while!" What does this expense center have to do with me? Am I not applying for an R&D manager? R&D has nothing to do with profit, right? When Alicia asked me what I thought of the profit center and expense center, I was confused......"

"Well, it just doesn't matter. You are pure expense center. In layman's terms, only spend money and don't make money. Zhai Xu smiled, "You probably know this, but it really has nothing to do with you." ”

"It's okay to ask me what I'm doing, it's scared me to death." Le Xiaoxiao complained with a flat mouth.

Zhai Xu shook his head and sighed: "You are applying for a manager, although it has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with the interests of the company." You have to put yourself in the manager's point of view, and you can't be like the old one, one person feeds the whole family and doesn't go hungry. To put it bluntly, if you become a manager in the future, you have to think with the thinking of a capitalist. ”

Zhai Xu's words made Le Xiaoxiao's thoughts suddenly clear. The thinking span from personal salary to company interests is very large, and it can't be converted for a while, but Le Xiaoxiao seems to have vaguely grasped the point.

"Zhai Xu." Le Xiaoxiao shouted.

"Huh?"

"I suddenly found out that you deserve to be a boss, hey, so powerful!"

“…… What did you think of me? Zhai Xu raised his eyebrows and looked over, "Do you know now that you are a very powerful man?" ”
