Chapter 9 Outward Bound Training
When I came to the company and opened the mailbox, the two emails made Yu Qi immediately feel good for a day.
One was from Jack's reply to yesterday's dealer information, as well as an email with Q2 sales statistics and Q3 sales forecast reports, albeit just a short "PerfectJob!" Thanksforyoursupporting.β (Well done and thanks for your work.) But Yu Qi knows that for the subtle Chinese, it is not easy to use the adjective "Perfect". Chinese, unlike Americans, put "Exactly, Perfect" all day long. Hang it on the mouth, so that the inspired person is beautiful, and the tail will be cocked to the sky. Chinese usually only like to use "GoodJob! WellDoneοΌ to show encouragement.
The other is an email from the human resources department forwarded by Jack to all employees working in Shanghai: next Friday, the company will go to the development base in Liuhe, Jiading, for development training. We hope you will all be able to participate. If there is an urgent work that cannot be attended, please count the employee number and other information of those who do not participate before the end of work next Wednesday, so that HR can count the final number.
At first, Yu Qi thought that Jack was just letting himself count the list of departments as usual, and the general salespeople did not like to participate in this kind of physical training under the banner of "increasing the cohesion of the company". The salespeople said that their brainpower and body were dedicated to the customer, and there was such a day when they had to bubble the customer.
However, the body of the email, Jack, gave her time and if she was interested, she could also participate. Of course, she is happy to participate in this kind of activity, and getting to know more colleagues from various departments will also help her in her future work. Sales is to be good at collecting information from various channels, not only from external customers, but also from within the company.
Yu Qi is grateful to Jack for taking care of her new intern.
On Wednesday, sure enough, the old salesmen found different reasons and sent emails to the boss to ask for leave and not to participate in this outreach activity. Of course, I also CC (CC) Yu Qi.
Early Friday morning, Yu Qi rushed to the company, received the email, and saw that there was nothing important. The manager and director of the department, obviously unable to support the hard work of the human resources department, turned out to have an urgent meeting on Thursday night or Friday morning, and could not participate in the development activities, which is a deep regret.
In her previous life, she definitely couldn't understand why there was such a high-sounding reason not to work and to rest, but the managers didn't want it? Now, Yu Qi, who has many years of experience in HR, knows that managers will not participate in all kinds of training conducted by the human resources department unless it is external training of the company or internal training arranged for directors and managers. Because they were unwilling to participate in the same training as their own subordinates, they lost their identity.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Managers born in the 60s and 70s have struggled to maintain a glorious image in front of their subordinates in order to show their leadershipskills. They are very afraid of the post-80s generation who like to show themselves and press themselves down. After all, in addition to experience, they have no more advantages and qualifications than their excellent subordinates in terms of professional knowledge, English reading and writing, physical fitness, time, etc.
At 8:00 AM., Yu Qi got on a bus on the company's parking apron, leaning against the window, she let her thoughts run wild. Several of the sales people in the sales department who participated were also late. Anyway, I didn't know a few colleagues in the company, so Yu Qi sat in a window seat casually.
When Meng Tianci arrived at the company, he looked for him one by one, until he saw Yu Qi in front of the window of a bus, and then he grinned and boarded the car quickly. sat next to Yu Qi without hesitation. But Yu Qi didn't say hello to him.
What's this girl thinking? So focused! Meng Tianci was a little depressed.
Until the car drove away. Only then did she find Meng Tianci sitting next to her.
That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?!
"Morning!" Yu Qi hurriedly greeted her.
"What are you thinking? Focused, I don't dare to disturb you. Meng Tianci teased her.
"Oh, the words in the book, make me think cranky." Yu Qi raised the book in his hand - "The Meaning of Life", "I have been thinking just now: What is life for? β
It turned out to be the book of the Indian philosopher Osho.
"Is philosophy accessible to everyone? People who don't have Huigen think too much will only increase their troubles. Meng Tianci persuaded. Just think about how difficult it was for each of us to break through from thousands of sperm in the mother's womb more than 20 years ago and come to the world. As a victor, you should cherish life and stay away from philosophy! β
Indeed, a teacher once said: genius is either standing at the pinnacle of various disciplines; Either he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Yu Qi weighed himself and decided that in this life, he would just live happily every day. When the year Hua passed away, as long as he didn't lament the years, he would be successful.
Yu Qi leaned against the window and took a nap. When I opened my eyes, I saw Meng Tianci sitting next to him quietly reading "The Three-Body Problem", his focused eyes and handsome side face made people reluctant to look away. Under the sunlight outside the car window, his body seemed to glow with gold. I wish time had stood still, and there was only him and her in heaven and earth!
As if he knew that he had been peeked, Meng Tianci turned his head, smiled at Yu Qi, and asked, "Awake?" β
"Hmm. Do you want my sister to give you spoilers? Yu Qi pouted and nullified the "Three-Body Problem" he was holding in his hand.
"Miss, don't! It's rare that I'm interested in reading a book with a lot of curiosity. "Meng Tianci rarely gags." Besides, little sister, are you my sister? β
What if yes? Yu Qi asked secretly in her heart.
"Sister and brother love is popular now, maybe you are suitable to find a sister." Yu Qi said abruptly.
"It doesn't matter if it's my sister or my sister, you have to have someone to fall in love with first, right? I'm not a narcissus, I'm not narcissistic. Meng Tianci seemed to be waiting for Yu Qi's promise.
"Okay, the base is here, let's get off." When the car drove into the development base, the team leader on the car beckoned everyone to get off the car and gather with a little excitement.
"Today's warm-up project is 'plum blossoms bloom a few', I call plum blossoms a few, just a few people standing together. In the end, there were no people in the team or the wrong number of people in the group, so they had to come out and do push-ups. Attention: one more, no less! Did you hear me clearly? After a resounding and affirmative reply. The coach asked everyone to form a circle, "open five", "open ten", "open three", Yu Qi coped with several rounds without danger.
"The last round below: 8 plum blossoms." After the coach shouted, everyone regrouped excitedly, and no one wanted to be punished.
Yu Qi's group had 9 people, and all the groups on the lawn were full, and as the last person to join the group, Yu Qi was very embarrassed. She didn't want to go out, but if she didn't, she would be the whole group.
"Let's get out of a boy." An older sister said, "You can't let a girl do push-ups, right?" β
None of the boys in the group knew Yu Qi, so everyone was silent, and no one wanted to be a hero to save the beauty.
"Are you all right? I'm going to check it out. The coach yelled.
"Yu Qi, come to me, I'll exchange with you." Yu Qi saw Meng Tianci from the next group stand up. Seeing that the coach was about to count the number of people, she didn't have time to think about it, she glanced at Meng Tianci gratefully and joined the new group.
Because she hesitated, it was only 2 teams that would be punished.
Only Meng Tianci has received this round.
At noon, everyone was hungry. But seeing the flies flying in the canteen of the base, and then looking at the group meal on the table that was favored by flies, it suddenly made people lose their appetite. Yu Qi was just about to take the soup and make rice. found that Meng Tianci, who was sitting next to him, took out 2 boxes of cooked vegetables of "Ziyan Baiwei Chicken" in his backpack like a trick. A box of husband and wife lung slices, a box of roasted bran. It became a delicacy on this table.
"What a Shanghai man in the end, meticulous!" A northern elder sister in the marketing department praised from the bottom of her heart. After speaking, he took a slice of beef and put it in his mouth. "Well, it tastes great!"
Yu Qi secretly gave a thumbs up to this warm man. Meng Tianci happily accepted it after seeing it.
After lunch, HR asked everyone to gather at the training ground. Originally, everyone hated this canteen with poor sanitary conditions, but at this time, they all wished that there was glue on the stools, and then they could shout: "The stools won't let me go!" Don't let us separate! β
"After a tired morning, isn't it time to go for a walk in the wilderness after lunch?" There were a few bold colleagues who openly challenged HR.
Obviously, these untrained masters in the office are in dire need of increasing the frequency of this training.
In the afternoon, there are two events: "canoeing" and "two people and three legs". The coach pulled his throat all morning, and he was tired. Seeing that the white-collar workers who are used to sitting in these offices are calling with a sore back, it is estimated that they are also tired, so 2 game projects are arranged. So that everyone can finish the task early and go home to rest.
The two-person three-legged rule must be mixed and matched with men and women. I don't know if it was providence or Meng Tianci's deliberate doing, Yu Qi was in a group with him again. Because Meng Tianci was punished on her behalf in the morning, her colleagues who were not on the same floor also knew the two of them. A few young people who had also just graduated screamed twice with deep meaning. provoked Yu Qi to blush to the root of his ears again.
She complained to Meng Tianci, and she didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all. Obviously, the two of them have nothing, but now she can't tell her clearly, and she can't figure it out. I'm really worried, when I return to the company next week, will rumors fly all over the sky? Although the company does not reject office romances, interns who have just arrived will always upset their bosses if they have any scandals.
She whispered Meng Tianci to change with other male colleagues, but Meng Tianci turned a deaf ear. No way, she could only take the initiative to find a female colleague who seemed to be easier to talk to, hoping to change a partner. Unexpectedly, I was teased by my sister, "How can I beat a mandarin duck?" β
Where are the mandarin ducks? Yu Qi really wanted to cry without tears.
"Am I so unpopular with you?" Meng Tianci's voice was cold.
"No, no, I'm just ......" Yu Qi found that the more she explained now, the situation would only get worse.
He crouched down and tied their calves with rope. Then he stood up, graciously put his arm around her shoulders, and took her in her arms, she put her arms around his waist awkwardly, and used the moments before the game to do a little practice on the side.
In early summer, sportswear is thin. Through the cotton short-sleeved sports T-shirt, both people can feel the heat coming from each other's bare skin.
Yu Qi's shy appearance provoked Meng Tianci to add a little pity.
"Rest assured, we're the best combination. I'm going to win!" Meng Tianci whispered encouragement in her ear. Because it was too close, I felt the breath exhaled from Meng Tianci's mouth on my ears, which was tickling. Yu Qi's heart also itched. She almost lost her strength and leaned against him. She was very worried that if she had such close contact, her disguise would crumble, and she would no longer be able to pretend that he was fine.
He is 1.8 meters and she is 1.65 meters, and the size of her steps is obviously different. During practice, the two repeatedly had to stop moving forward and readjust their pace.
However, to her surprise, under his guidance, they quickly became tacit. With his "1,2,1,2......" command, the two of them passed the preliminary and final rounds and won the championship in this round of the event.
HR immediately announced that the prize would be a pair of YY (YONEX Yonex) badminton rackets. The prize collection time will be announced in the company next week.
On the bus home, Meng Tianci sat next to Yu Qi as usual.
"Ah, I said big handsome man, can you not always stay by my side so high-profile. My peach blossom in the company, if you block it, be careful that I ask for you! Yu Qi waved his fist and pretended to be angry, but he was hiding his shyness.
"No problem. Besides, isn't your girlfriend going to help you solve this problem during the summer vacation? Meng Tianci really remembered her every word.
Yu Qi was really choked by him this time. Just ignore him.
