Chapter 31: Face
On the way Meng Tianci drove Yu Qi back to school, the two of them seemed to be listening to the music playing in the car, but in fact, they were silent and thinking about their hearts. I didn't talk much in the car before, but the quiet atmosphere in the car tonight was a bit weird.
Meng Tianci has always wanted to ask Yu Qi: What is the relationship between Wang Dong and her? But he didn't know how to speak? He was even a little afraid: he was afraid that he would hear something from Yu Qi that he didn't want to hear.
Yu Qi wanted to take the initiative to explain to Meng Tianci what happened with Wang Dong tonight along the way. She knew that Meng Tianci's special silence along the way today was waiting for a reasonable explanation from her. But she didn't know where to start. She was afraid that the more she depicted it, the darker it would be. can only Meng Tianci not mention it, she pretended that it didn't happen. Although, Meng Tianci was as gentle as ever to her, she knew that there was now an extra layer of separation between them.
It was already 11 o'clock when he arrived at school, and Meng Tianci parked the car at the school gate as usual and sent Yu Qi back to the dormitory. The two of them walked side by side on this familiar boulevard, there were always endless words before, but tonight they were like a pair of comrades-in-arms who had experienced life and death, a pair of lovers who shared weal and pain.
They seem to be communicating with their souls. Silence is better than sound at this point.
The mischievous moon shone on them through the bare branches. It was as if waiting for them to reconcile. They didn't argue, but they fell into a cold war between lovers that was more terrible than quarrels.
The nights in Shanghai in January are still very cold. Yu Qi tightened the black down coat on her body, and couldn't help but shudder.
Meng Tianci on the side stretched out his hand distressed and took her into his arms. Yu Qi glanced at him gratefully. The two of them quickened their pace together.
Walking to the door of the dormitory, Yu Qi stretched out his hands to hug Meng Tianci before saying goodbye, leaned on his chest, and said softly, "Thank you, dear." ”
Although she didn't say it, she believed he understood what she meant.
Early the next morning, as soon as Meng Tianci arrived at the company, a colleague from the sales department who was usually familiar with him quietly gossiped to Meng Tianci, "Laurence, have you heard?" Our big boss went to Aite and hit a soft nail. ”
"Really? When was this? ”
Yesterday morning, he suddenly went to Aite Company for a private visit. Unexpectedly, no one in the company greeted him and greeted him. Our big boss wants face the most, and he can't get his face down now. Do you think this is Aite giving us a dismount? ”
"The senior management of both sides of the company has signed the official document, what else can there be? You're going to start some bloody TV plot again, right? Meng Tianci said, "I was in a good mood last night when I saw our big boss." ”
Aite's office in Shanghai, like Coot's office in Beijing, is just a small sales office. Therefore, the sales who did not receive the notice, yesterday as usual, after 10 o'clock, only walked into the office in twos and threes, and some old sales even NoShow (did not go to work in the company).
The big boss happened to be the director of the finance department and the manufacturing department, so no one reported to Aite.
In fact, the big boss went this time to deliberately see the most real spirit of the employees there to work. Coate's big boss is a mainland-American, in his early 50s, and has steadily reached his current status. Although he was once a proud graduate of Tsinghua University, he started as a product manager when he joined Cooter, which was just entering the Chinese market 20 years ago, and slowly became the president of Greater China today. His twenty years at Coote were hard.
Therefore, he should take it for granted that his beloved general should take every step of the workplace like him. His criteria for employing people are: talented, more loyal and practical; Special attention is paid to the hard work and serious work attitude of employees.
And because he has been fighting hard in the stormy workplace, attacking cities and grabbing land, although he is very open-minded to all people and things on the surface, deep down he values the attitude of others towards him. That is not only a sign of awe for his position, but also a respect for his personal charisma.
"I guess it's because the big boss suddenly paid a private visit, so Aite didn't prepare. Little employee, how can you know him as a big man! A colleague from the marketing department passed by at some point and took over the conversation.
"This analysis is reliable!" Meng Tianci happily patted his colleagues in his department.
The salesman shook his head lightly and walked back to his seat, he didn't seem to be very satisfied with Meng Tianci's reaction.
This colleague from the marketing department guessed correctly - the big boss went to visit Aite this time, ostensibly to see the real work of Aite employees. In fact, it is necessary to grasp the loopholes in the management of Aite's senior management in China and pave the way for layoffs after mergers and acquisitions in the future.
Sure enough, on the way back to the palace, the big boss instructed Anthony, the director of the manufacturing department who went with him, to send an email to all the department directors and managers of Kute, and copied to the general manager of Aite in China and the sales director of the Shanghai office, and objectively made a visit record of today's private visit to Weifu.
As the acquirer, all departments of the Shanghai headquarters of Kute have added a lot of PaperWork for this merger and acquisition project - HR needs to compare the overlapping positions of the two companies, redefine the job responsibilities with each business department, and adjust the salary of the employees in the corresponding positions of the acquired Aite company; Sort out the redundancy of duplicate positions and digest these redundant employees within the company...... All the work related to the fair and reasonable allocation of personnel needs to be properly solved by HR; The most important thing is to appease all employees of Aite and avoid them from going on strike, marching and other drastic behaviors.
During the last round of economic crisis, six years ago, there was a demonstration of white-collar employees in Shanghai's Caohejing Science and Technology Park against illegal layoffs. At that time, there was a lot of trouble in the city, and all HR people were in danger. During that financial crisis, Kute's HR had a hard time. It is necessary not only to fulfill the figures required by the US headquarters, as Chinese, but also to persuade their own laid-off compatriots to accept the company's layoff arrangements. And those employees who are lucky enough to stay in the company are also afraid that the economic crisis will continue to spread to them. The financial crisis with no deadline makes the fear of employees much more terrible than layoffs! During that time, HR was worried about going to work every day.
Finance needs to reintegrate the financial statements of these two listed companies, audit and audit......
Sales need to redivide customers......
The marketing department needs to reintegrate the product lines of the two companies, and unify the external product introduction PPT and product samples......
Therefore, the headcount of the interns applied for by the marketing department was quickly approved by HRDirector.
HR and IT also made a special deal this time, and approved the marketing department to give the intern a laptop replaced by a former employee (generally only employees at the level of commissioner or above can apply for laptops, so interns and temporary workers use desktop computers).
In the process of applying for the intern Headcount, Meng Tianci was urging HR to interview candidates together. Now that Headcount is in place, he asks HR to hurry up and go through the offer process.
