Chapter 34 Charcoal in the Snow

(34) Send charcoal in the snow

Qiu Yan was busy with the opening of the new store and the recruitment of newcomers, as if she had become a strong woman on the road to her career.

At the beginning of the day, Qiu Yan walked out of the store tiredly, and instead of driving straight to the parking lot and driving home as usual, she walked casually along the sidewalk. She hasn't been in a good mood these days, there are too many things to worry about in business, and some employees are cheating and cheating, and they don't care about themselves. Qiu Yan's gentle and kind nature became weak and deceitful in their eyes.

She feels very lonely today, in the past, when she was aggrieved, she would find Han Fei to complain and ask for ideas, Han Fei always let her open her heart knot and cheer up again. But now she seems to have a lot of friends around her, but she can't find someone who can make her speak from her heart.

Qiu Yan sighed as she walked, looking at the road under her feet, thinking about what Han Fei would say to comfort her if she was still there. She was so engrossed that she didn't even notice that she had taken a fork in the road.

"Qiu Yan?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yan raised his head and looked at Xu Yajun's blurred face under the street lamp, "President? Long time no see, hello! ”

Xu Yajun: "Hello, does your family live near here?" ”

Qiu Yan looked around and said with a smile: "It's not far from here, I forgot to turn the corner just now." President Hao Yaxing, is he taking a walk? ”

"You should call me by my name, I'm not your boss anymore. Let's go for a walk together, and the two of us who can't find someone to talk to may be able to settle down. ”

Qiu Yan looked at Xu Yajun who was walking in front of her in surprise, and hurriedly followed, habitually one step behind, walking on Xu Yajun's right hand.

The night breeze was cool, the dark fragrance was floating, and the moonlight was hazy, Qiu Yan walked silently behind Xu Yajun, regretting his decision just now. Xu Yajun obviously had no desire to talk, and walked in front unhappily and slowly, as if he had forgotten Qiu Yan's existence.

"Thank you for the clothes you gave Alex last time, I heard that you are now very successful in starting your own business, why are you still sad?" Xu Yajun's voice was very soft, like a cordial greeting.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't know how to manage my employees, and it's a bit stressful."

"Why not find a professional manager to manage it? The boss only needs to make decisions and does not need to be involved in management. Don't you still have to design clothes? Entangled in these trivial things, how can you be in the mood to do a good job in design? Xu Yajun deliberately stopped and walked side by side with Qiu Yan.

"I haven't found a suitable professional manager yet."

"Then first formulate rules and regulations, and use the system to manage people."

Qiu Yan lowered her head embarrassedly, "It is true that her stores do not have rules and regulations written on paper, only some verbal requirements." I wanted to be more humane, and everyone worked together to do things in the store like a family, but I didn't expect it to be a chicken feather now. ”

"To be a leader, you must know people well, be good at it, be rigid and soft, if you don't have this ability, you can't do the work of leadership. I'll find some free time, you gather those employees in the store, and I'll give them a meeting to help you choose a suitable leader. ”

Xu Yajun's gentle and drizzly voice sounded like thunder to Qiu Yan's ears, and she looked at Xu Yajun in disbelief, "You...... Did you just say you wanted to help me? ”

Xu Yajun looked at the serious and expectant look on Qiu Yan's face and smiled: "It's just a meeting to choose someone, it's a matter of effort." ”

Qiu Yan smiled happily: "Thank you so much, how should the remuneration be calculated?" ”

"How much do you think you should give me?"

Qiu Yan looked at Xu Yajun's serious face, "A big man like you can appreciate his face and go to our meeting, and the remuneration is naturally indispensable......

"I don't want to be paid, I'm going to help you for free." After Xu Yajun finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Mr. Xu, you have a lot of opportunities......"

"If you really want to thank me, don't be so polite in front of me in the future, and treat me as Alex."

Qiu Yan looked at Xu Yajun's kind eyes speechlessly and nodded.

"Your son is three years old, isn't he?"

"Well, it's already kindergarten."

"You're a good woman, a good mother. Have time for me to meet your son, I love children! ”

Speaking of Han Yang, Qiu Yan couldn't help but have a smile on his face, "It's my house just around the corner, do you want to go up and sit?" ”

"It's not convenient at this late hour, is it? Besides, it's possible that the little one has already fallen asleep. ”

Qiu Yan looked at his watch, "It's just nine o'clock, it's too late, let's go!" ”

Xu Yajun did not refrain and followed Qiu Yan to his home. The sense of distance between the two people suddenly disappeared, and some talked and laughed like friends.

Han Yang was riding a children's bicycle in the yard when he saw Qiu Yan coming back and excitedly shouted, "Mom! Grandpa bought me a new car! ”

Qiu Yan smiled: "It's so beautiful! ”

"I'm Han Yang, what's your name?" Han Yang looked up at Xu Yajun and asked.

Xu Yajun squatted down, "I'm Xu Yajun, it's nice to meet you." ”

Han Yang stretched out his little hand and shook Xu Yajun's big hand, and said matter-of-factly: "You are the first guest brought back by your mother, you must be very important in her mind." Let's go, and you're welcome to my home. ”

Qiu Yan watched Han Yang hand over the car to the nanny, took Xu Yajun's hand and walked into the house, very relieved and proud.

Xu Yajun greeted Han Fei's parents, exchanged a few words of greeting, and followed Han Yang upstairs.

Qiu Yan sat downstairs in the living room and explained the situation to her parents-in-law, "I thought that it would be impossible to invite him to the door of the house, so I was polite, but I didn't expect him to really come." ”

Han Mu said with a smile: "Americans don't understand our Chinese's politeness, I see that this person is good, polite in speech and manners, not hypocritical or pretentious." ”

Qiu Yan: "He likes children very much, and this time he came to see Yangyang." Yangyang has really grown up, and he still knows how to shake hands with people. ”

Father Han smiled: "He just learned the children's song 'Find a Friend', and he has to shake hands with everyone he sees today, didn't he say 'You are my good friend'?" ”

Qiu Yan smiled and shook his head, "Mom, was Han Fei so funny when he was a child?" ”

"Children of this age love to imitate. Han Fei stayed in his hometown for a few days when he was a child, and when he saw a hen hatching chicks, he also took a few eggs and squatted motionless on them, which made us laugh to death. ”

The three of them were chatting and laughing below. After a while, Han Yang took Xu Yajun's hand and walked down the stairs, "Mom, I shared my toys with Uncle Xu, and he liked them very much, saying that the house I built is amazing!" ”

Qiu Yan stood up and asked Xu Yajun to sit down and have a cup of tea, Xu Yajun refused with a smile, "It's too late today, come back for tea another day." ”

Qiu Yan sent Xu Yajun away, and Han Yang saw her and said, "Mom, Uncle Xu is a good friend, my excavator is broken, and he said he would give me a new one." ”

Qiu Yan looked at her son funny, "It's time to go to bed, let's go, mom will give you a bath, brush your teeth, and sleep." ”

Han Yang stood up and followed Qiu Yan to the bathroom, "Mom, I'm going to sleep listening to the story." ”

……

The next day, Xu Yajun asked his secretary to go to Qiu Yan's three stores to learn the details. On the morning of the third day, Xu Yajun really held a unique meeting for Qiu Yan's employees, explained the rules and regulations in a piecemeal manner, and ruthlessly criticized the employees' mentality of not fighting in the nest, and finally arranged for Wang Lihua to serve as the manager of "Yanyang Children's Clothing Store", which completely liberated Qiu Yan.

After Xu Yajun's rectification, no one in the employees dared to sneak and talk about long things, and their work enthusiasm was greatly improved. Qiu Yan admired Xu Yajun so much, and was extremely grateful to Xu Yajun for his behavior of sending charcoal in the snow this time, and really regarded Xu Yajun as his friend.
