The so-called thrift into luxury is easy, and it is difficult to be thrifty in luxury. When Shen Yiyi got on the bus to the company after a long absence, he thought more about how to talk to Xu Jie about the next topic that the two were going to talk about, but that the bus in this era was really not very comfortable.

It is different from the air-conditioned buses of later generations. The buses of this era are still in the introduction period of air-conditioned buses, so on some routes, ordinary open buses are still running alternately with new air-conditioned buses. Whether you're on a regular bus or an air-conditioned bus depends on the height of the fleet and how you schedule it. Generally speaking, it is more likely to line up an air-conditioned car during commuting hours. Because there is no choice for passengers commuting to and from work, there is a high-voltage line with a full attendance award there, and you have to get on one car when you come. It's not the same during off-peak periods. Because there is a difference in fares between ordinary buses and air-conditioned buses, Chinese who are not rich in income in this era still have to live carefully, and naturally prefer to wait for one more non-air-conditioned bus, just to be able to save that little money.

And the air-conditioned car comes out, and the fuel consumption is not the same as that of ordinary buses. If you can't sit down, then the air-conditioned car will be a loss. Therefore, during off-peak hours, the fleet is less likely to schedule air-conditioned buses. It's also a simple economics.

But for people like Shen Yiyi, who were used to sitting on air-conditioned buses in his previous life and were spoiled by Wang Kai's special car in his later life, the feeling of being able to sit in a non-air-conditioned bus at noon is not very good. At this time, Beijing is not yet in the crisp autumn weather. So it's still quite hot at this time. Moreover, many of the engines in the old buses are front-mounted, resulting in a large metal cover that exudes high temperature inside the bus. Originally, the weather was hot enough, and now there is a big oven in the car, which is simply a huge test for people like Shen Yiyi who are afraid of heat.

The sliding window of the bus is opened, and a little wind comes in as the bus moves. Shen Yiyi sat in his seat one by one, and sometimes he couldn't wait to stick his head out of the window, so he borrowed a little wind. Fortunately, there were not many buses at noon, so Shen Yiyi was still able to get a seat to sit on. Otherwise, it would be even more torture for her to squeeze around with others in such a hot carriage.

However, since you are in this kind of car, there is no regret medicine. Shen Yiyi just wanted to let himself be blown by the wind a little more, so that he wouldn't sweat too much. Otherwise, after meeting Xu Jie for a while, if he was sweating profusely, he would be a little out of shape. The first time he formally talked about work with Xu Jie, Shen Yiyi didn't want to lose his temper in front of the other party. That would make you a little less imposing.

Of course, buses don't have door-to-door service like private buses. Not only did he have to stop at every stop along the way to get on and off passengers, but even when he arrived at the station, Shen Yiyi had to get off the train and walk for a long time. This is the sequelae of Wang Kai having to find a quiet place for the company at the beginning.

The company's office building is built in a very quiet place. But quiet means that there is still some distance from the main road. Such a distance would not have been obvious if there was Wang Kai's car to pick him up, but now it would be a little inconvenient to let Shen Yiyi find a way to come over by himself. Shen Yiyi had to walk a long way to do it.

It's okay if you only go on it once, but if you come back often in the future, it's really a little inconvenient. Shen Yiyi walked on the way to the company, thinking to himself, it seems that he is indeed trying to find a way to solve his traffic problem. Should I buy a car and drive it?

If you want to buy a car, Shen Yiyi must be rich. At this time, Beijing is not like the later generations of limited cards, need to rely on the lottery to hit the luck to get a card. Basically, you can get a license plate when you buy a car. The only thing that needs to be considered is Shen Yiyi's own problems, not external problems.

Shen Yiyi doesn't have a driver's license yet, so she has to get one. In this day and age, there is no talk of self-examining a driver's license. Therefore, in order to get a driver's license, Shen Yiyi must also apply for a driving class or something, and go through the procedures for getting a driver's license. But that means it takes time to learn to drive.

Shen Yiyi is already so busy now, where can he find other time to learn to drive? It's not that she doesn't know that learning to drive actually takes a lot of time. Don't look like you have to learn all day to get in the car, but you don't have that long to touch the steering wheel yourself. It is very inconsistent with the principle of efficiency. But in order to get a driver's license, ordinary people really have to put up with such things. Therefore, Shen Yiyi was faced with a choice, whether he needed to spend time doing such a thing.

Of course, as a privileged class, Shen Yiyi has another choice, which is to get a driver's license through relationships. With Mr. Shen's background, Shen Yiyi is not unable to get a driver's license through his family connections. But she also knew that her family actually didn't approve of her driving as a girl. The men in the family are overprotective of the few female members of the family. So as long as the female members of the family talk about learning to drive, they are all resolutely opposed. For them, if their wives or daughters want to travel, they just send a car. What kind of car does a woman drive? A woman's IQ is not capable of driving. Don't let women drive so that there are fewer road killers on the road.

Although the men in the family would not speak so plainly, Shen Yiyi could see from their actions that they actually thought so. Of course, Shen Yiyi didn't want to engage in any family revolution to correct their kind of thinking. Although Shen Yiyi felt that their kind of thinking was a kind of contempt for women, their starting point was still for the good of the female members of the family. Of course, I'm not prepared to fight them in the open. Shen Yiyi just extinguished the heart of getting a driver's license by relying on relationships. If you don't do it for me, I'll just figure it out myself.

Originally, if he had entrusted this matter to Wang Kai, he could have done it for himself quickly. But because he had a car to sit in before, he never had this thought, and he never mentioned this stubble to Wang Kai. Now that I have encountered a problem, I have this idea again, but Wang Kai is about to leave Beijing, so it will naturally be a little inconvenient to do such a thing again. Shen Yiyi is really no longer embarrassed to trouble him with this kind of thing now.

Alas, it seems that if you still have something to find Xu Jie, try to make an appointment with her outside. For example, those small cafes or something, don't come back to the company. Shen Yiyi thought about it and still came to this conclusion. In fact, when foreigners conduct business negotiations, they often make appointments outside. Often either eating or drinking tea. So Xu Jie, who used those places as meeting places, should be very accustomed to them.

It's just that after all, the era of being able to come to the company if you have something to do is finally over. Wang Kai's departure inevitably had an impact on the way he did things. There's no way around that.

After Shen Yiyi came to the company and entered the door, the lady at the front desk still recognized the chairman of the company that General Manager Wang had repeatedly reiterated to everyone before leaving. It is now clear to everyone that this young lady is actually the investor of this company. In other words, the other person is the real boss of himself, and the power is greater than the new general manager of the company. So the company's employees now see Shen Yiyi, and they are all acting a little flattering.

Shen Yiyi is still a little unaccustomed to the excessive politeness of these employees. She actually likes the polite but not overly polite atmosphere when Wang Kai was still the general manager before. If possible, she hopes that the atmosphere in the company will remain the way it was then. But she also understands that such an arrangement led by Wang Kai to establish his own prestige is actually his efforts to ensure that the control of the company can be stabilized in his hands for a period of time.

In other words, after Wang Kai left Beijing, he hoped that the absolute authority of the company would no longer be the general manager, but the chairman. Because it is no longer him who will be the general manager next, but Xu Jie.

Shen Yiyi said hello to the front desk lady who got up to greet her, and asked her directly: "Are you General Manager Xu here today?" Is it in the office? Can you inform her that I'm looking for her? ”

Speaking of which, when I was accompanied by Wang Kai before, I naturally didn't need to talk to the front desk and go through any procedures. At that time, Wang Kai was her passport in the company. Wherever you want to go, he'll open the way. And you just need to follow behind. Now it's different. The process that usually takes to visit other companies is now the same in my own company. At most, I have the privilege of having a priority appointment with the general manager in my own company. However, the formalization of management that Wang Kai mentioned before and himself, doesn't it just need to do this.

The chairman of the company made such a request, which was entirely within the scope of her rights. Therefore, the lady at the front desk did not dare to slack off and called the chairman for instructions. As soon as Shen Yiyi saw her on the phone, he determined that Xu Jie was indeed in the company today. Otherwise, what is this young lady doing on the internal phone?

Now that Xu Jie is already in the unit, he doesn't have to wait at the door, just go to her office. Therefore, Shen Yiyi said to the front desk lady who was still on the phone: "In this way, you tell General Manager Xu on the phone, just say that I will go directly to her office to find her, so that she doesn't have to come down to pick me up." With that, he went straight upstairs.

As soon as Shen Yiyi said this, of course, it was impossible for the front desk to stop her. Hurriedly reported to General Manager Xu's secretary on the other end of the phone that the chairman had gone upstairs to find the general manager.

Anyway, this is Shen Yiyi's privilege that is different from other visitors. The other visitors were most likely blocked at the first level, but Shen Yiyi could walk around the office building as long as she wanted. Because the whole building is staffed by hers.

Shen Yiyi walked outside Wang Kai's office and met Xu Jie, who was walking towards him. The two of them met outside the office.

Shen Yiyi smiled at Xu Jie, and Xu Jie immediately reached out enthusiastically to hold Shen Yiyi's hand, and said, "Yiyi, why did you come up and didn't wait for me to go down to pick you up?" The front desk told me that you were looking for me, and when you had something to talk to me about, I told her to let you wait for me at the bottom, and I would pick you up. Didn't expect you to come upstairs on your own. ”

Shen Yiyi smiled: "Actually, I just want to confirm that you are here." I'm not a special guest, so there's no need to be too polite. I'm here to talk about something, not to put on a score. ”

Xu Jie smiled and let Shen Yi into the office one by one.

Xu Jie's office is the same office where Wang Kai was when he was there. The words on the office door number have not been replaced. The words "general manager" are written in two lines in Chinese and English. When Shen Yiyi walked in, she found that the layout of the office was exactly the same as what she saw when Wang Kai was there, and there was no change.

Xu Jie had been paying attention to Shen Yiyi's behavior, and when he saw that she was constantly looking at this office, he explained on the side: "This office is Wang Kai's original appearance, and I haven't changed it at all." If you've been here before, you've probably found out that I've respected the choice of the original owner of the office. ”

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he let go of his hand and motioned for Shen Yi to find a comfortable position to sit down.

After Shen Yiyi sat down one by one, he said to Xu Jie, "Yes." You're right. I found that this office was exactly the same as Wang Kai's original layout. But then again, his original layout can't be called a layout, there is no sense of design at all, it's purely a very standard office configuration. I thought that after changing a hostess now, the hostess would make the office more personal according to her own preferences, but I didn't expect you to really not change it at all. ”

Xu Jie smiled: "Wang Kai came to me and asked me to run the company, not to design the office. And running a company is also the reason why you are willing to pay me a salary. Besides, since you say that the layout of this office has no sense of design, it also means that the office should be like this. I know that whether it is Wang Kai or Miss Shen Yiyi, you still emphasize that when recruiting talents, you still emphasize that the applicant should be a person who values practice over form, isn't it? So let's not talk about the layout of the office, but can just talk about the main purpose of your visit today? (To be continued.) )
