Chapter 408: Trust in Working Together
Hi Alan, would you like to have dinner together in the evening? β
After the meeting, Shannan came to Allen's office and asked Allen to have dinner with him. He cleverly felt that his arrangement in this personnel adjustment meeting was a little unreasonable, and it was estimated that there was something related to him, that he wanted to find out about Allen, no matter what, Allen still appreciated him, and his personal relationship still existed, and in this meeting, Allen also supported his opinion.
"Oh, hi hen, we haven't seen each other in a long time. You look like you're in good shape! β
Allen saw that Shannan took the initiative to come to him, and a smile overflowed on his face.
"Well, it's not bad, I found a new steakhouse next to it, how about it, let's try it together?"
Shannan invited with a smile.
"Haha, it's new to you, for me, it's been open for almost half a year, but I've eaten it, it tastes good, it's worth taking you to try."
Alan readily agreed.
The two walked out of the office building side by side and entered the steakhouse next to the building that Shannan said.
"It tastes good."
Shannan cut a small piece of medium-rare steak into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and praised.
After staying in the United States all these years, he has learned a set of elegant Western food etiquette, but Yun Feng eats Western food with him rarely, even if he eats together, that delicate person has not paid attention to the elegance that he has revealed from his bones. The reason is actually very simple, that is, the delicate guy, in his eyes, he has always been elegant, and he does not need to pay special attention to his many forms.
Hen, have you ever considered going back to headquarters? β
Alan blurted out.
"Oh? How so? β
Shannan asked, looking unclear.
"You have only been to South China for less than half a year, and the progress is rapid, and the performance is obvious to all, if you apply to return to the US headquarters at this time, the board of directors should approve it, and you come back, responsible for the product or operation, after two or three years, the results are out, and it is not impossible, and even very promising."
When Allen said this, he was obviously hinting that if Shannan could return to the US headquarters, he would be Shannan's backing. Alan, I really appreciate Shanan.
"Alan, thank you, from the contact project to the real entry of Jiajia baby, working with you and everyone is a very happy thing in my life, and I really thank you for your trust and support for me all the time, I actually want to tell you a good news, that is, I am about to get engaged to Yun Feng, we will start a family soon, I still want to stay with my family. I don't want to be separated for this, you know, I've been separated from her since I was in school, and it's not been easy all these years, and she's had a hard time. β
Shannan said, looking at Alan with moist eyes and a sincere tone.
"Oh, congratulations, you and Yun Feng are finally getting married! Amazing! At first, I thought you were going to marry Lin Hualei. β
Alan congratulated excitedly, he was happy for Shannan and Yun Feng, and he even remembered the appearance of the young and agile simple and intelligent girl in a white dress when he flew to Guangzhou with a team of people.
"You also know that Lin Hualei lost her legs because she saved me, and she was in a very bad state at that time, because of responsibility, I couldn't ignore it, but in the end, we all had to choose to listen to our hearts and follow our love, and Lin Hualei also understood."
Shannan took a sip of red wine and said.
"Well, good, bless you! Then don't you think about immigration? Both I and the company can help you, and your wife can immigrate after marriage, which is not difficult to do. β
Alan still enthusiastically suggested.
"Alan, thank you for your advice and help, it's just that my wife, she doesn't want to change her nationality, she loves her career in China very much, and I, as her lover, can only support and respect her choice."
Shannan said slightly apologetically. For Yun Feng, he did not call him his fiancΓ©e according to the general convention, but directly called his wife, because, in his heart, she has long been his wife, and it has always been, of course, his wife, there is no doubt that it is her, and it is very easy to say it now.
"Oh, I see, I remember when I met you and her in Guangzhou, I also proposed immigration, many people want to move to the United States, especially the West Coast, how beautiful, but I didn't expect that your wife is so special, amazing."
Alan gave a heartfelt thumbs up.
"Okay, then I see, respect your and your wife's thoughts."
Alan then compromised.
"Thank you Alan, thank you for your understanding."
Shannan said with a smile.
"Actually, Allen, I still have a question that I don't understand very well, I want to ask you for advice, I don't know if it's okay?"
Shannan paused and asked.
"oK, excuse me."
With a questioning expression, Alan lifted his fork and put a piece of steak in his mouth and chewed it leisurely.
"I'm curious as to why our company is making such a major personnel change so quickly, and it's clear that moving me from South China to East China at this time is not the smartest choice for the company's business in China."
Shannan finally expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Well, you're such a smart guy, what do you think could be wrong with it?"
Alan asked, shrugging.
"I don't understand, I don't know what went wrong, is it because the board of directors doesn't trust me or doesn't trust the person in charge of East China? I do not know. β
Shannan replied frankly.
"Hehe, you are worthy of being a person with very high EQ and IQ, there is indeed a little problem here, but what it is, I can't tell you, I can only say that I understand your personality and trust you very much, plus your efforts and achievements in South China are obvious to all, and I am also very clear, therefore, you don't have to worry about anything, although according to your ideas, just continue to do a good job in South China."
"Well, that's why I want you to go back to the U.S. headquarters, which might be more beneficial to your development. You know, the third round of financing of Jiajia Baby has been launched, if you come over, not only your position and salary will be greatly improved, but also, you will soon have the opportunity to get more equity. It's valuable, aren't you tempted at all? β
Allen put the greater good in front of Shannan.
Shannan smiled indifferently and replied with a blank face:
"Allen, I know that you have always been kind to me, and for this reason, I am determined to make Jiajia Baby South China better. Moreover, I will never do anything unfavorable to Jiajia baby, not only because of your appreciation and trust in me, but also because of my professional ethics, which I believe has been very clear to me in the past few years. β
"As for my affairs on the platform of Shidao Teaching and Research Garden, I told you at the beginning, it is for my wife's dream, I must respect and support her, this is what I should do as her husband, but for now, I am also just a small shareholder, the role of help, mainly responsible for my wife Yun Feng and the CTO of the platform They are all in Jiajia baby, just in my spare time to help my wife them, you know, this is only a family matter now. The reason why I can't accept your kindness to come to the U.S. headquarters is because of my wife, she doesn't want to give up her career, I can only work with her, but she is fully capable of doing what she wants to do on her own, and I will interfere less and less in her affairs. So, Alan, please trust me and the board of directors, I am definitely wholeheartedly working for the development of Jiajia Baby. If others have doubts about this, then, Alan, you should know best, because I don't hide anything from you. β
Shannan sensitively sniffed out some of these problems, and it was estimated that it was related to the fact that he was taking care of the platform of the Shidao Teaching and Research Institute at the same time, so he entrusted the current specific situation and his own thoughts to Allen. He believed that Alan knew him, in fact, he was indeed above board, and he never had the slightest concealment from Alan about his work.
