Chapter 019: An Unexpected Invitation
Another business day.
Early in the morning, Shu Wan received an internal call from Liu Dixian, the boss of the group, asking her to go to his office.
In recent years, there have been frequent personnel changes. Not to mention that civil servants like to change jobs, people in public institutions also like to change jobs.
Shu Wan was a little puzzled, why the group boss directly summoned him. It stands to reason that there is at least one Chen Zhi between her and Liu Dixian. She took her notepad and pen and took the elevator straight to the top floor of the building.
Liu Dixian is in his early sixties, and he has been the CEO of the group for nearly five years. In the past two years, because of his poor health, he has been recuperating abroad all the year round, and he has been studying abroad in the name of a beautiful name, and he has left the affairs of the group to the people below. Chen Zhi and Liu Dixian are both alumni and fellow villagers, so they are very valued by Liu Dixian, and the key affairs of the group are actually handled by Chen Zhi.
Shu Wan knocked on the door and went in, and saw two men smoking in the sofa area, and the whole office was full of smoke.
"Mr. Liu is good! Hello Minister Chen! Shu Wan said hello.
"Xiao Shu, come and sit." Liu Dixian greeted and said.
He smiled and watched Shu Wan sit down in the corner of the sofa area, flicked the cigarette ash with his fingers, and said, "Chen Zhi, look at our unit, shouldn't we add some high-quality beauties?" The flower of the group is still a few years ago, and this is worth it. β
Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you are eccentric. I see, in your eyes, no one can compare to Director Shu. β
Shu Wan smiled and said, "Thank you two leaders for your compliment." β
Liu Dixian laughed and said, "Xiao Shu, I'm talking to you Minister Chen about personnel changes. I'm going to retire and I'm not in good health. As soon as I got off the plane, my throat was uncomfortable. Or the body is the most honest. Whether the air quality is good or not depends on the test results alone, but also on the customer experience. I plan to retire abroad, and my seat is vacant. I have already said hello to the above, and Minister Chen will be President Chen in the future, so his seat will be vacant. He recommended that you sit in his seat, I wonder what you think? β
Shu Wan was stunned. I didn't expect this to come so quickly.
"You go back and think about it. Don't make a decision so quickly. Chen Zhi saw that Shu Wan was a little hesitant and said.
He extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Mr. Liu, then Xiao Shu and I will go down to work first." β
"Go ahead," said Liu Dixian, "and let me say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." If you change someone else, you will have to stay up for at least another ten years. We are building a younger and more professional leadership team. The youngest CEO and the youngest minister of the group, this is also a good story. β
Out of the door of Liu Dixian's office, Chen Zhi said, "Director Shu, you come with me." β
The CEO's office is on the 30th floor and the minister's office is on the 29th floor. Waiting for the elevator is a waste of time, Chen Zhi often takes the stairs. He motioned for Shu Wan to follow him, and the two walked into the stairwell in silence. Halfway up the stairs, Chen Zhi stopped and said, "Shu Wan, what are you worried about?" β
"My wedding date is set. I am afraid that in the future, the focus of my life will return to my family and I will not take care of the affairs of the unit. Shu Wan replied.
"Are you going to resign?"
"Of course not."
"That's it. If you've been in your old seat, what will happen to the people under you? Whether it's you press them and don't let them get promoted, or they get past you and become your boss, it's not a good thing for you. If you want to be an elite in the workplace, don't be timid. Mr. Liu is right, this is a good thing that falls from the sky. β
Shu Wan glanced at him and didn't speak. The stairwell was dimly lit, and only Chen Zhi was seen staring at her face.
"Are you worried about me? Afraid of gossip? After a few seconds, Chen Zhi spoke.
Shu Wan didn't speak.
Chen Zhi sighed and said, "You are my direct subordinate, and you are also my most satisfactory subordinate. I'm promoted, you follow, it's nothing. Your ability is recognized by the whole group. If I leave, but you, as the person I trust the most, don't follow the promotion, it will make people think that there are no three hundred taels of silver here. Your fault is that you look at the beginning and the end and think too much. If you can be more focused, the work will be carried out better. We are not RMB, and it is impossible to make everyone like us. It is also impossible to consider everyone's feelings. β
Chen Zhi paused for a moment and said: "Of course, I am also selfish, we have been working together for a long time, and we know the roots. If someone else were to be the minister, I wouldn't be at ease. And you, if you change ministers, I'm afraid you won't adapt quickly. A top boss is important to a person's career. What if he keeps giving you little shoes? How can I rest assured? β
Seeing Shu Wan looking at himself, Chen Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Am I old?" The temples are white. β
He changed the subject and said, "Shu Wan, I naturally like you." I've always liked you for so many years. This is not a clique secret, everyone knows it. But I like you for a reason. Because you're capable. A person with outstanding ability will naturally get more protection from his superiors. You have to overcome this psychological barrier. β
When Shu Wan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
"Don't laugh, if you think that I like you because of your good looks, it's too superficial. Of course, if I'm that superficial, that's my business. I am your boss, you are not capable, your work is not up to standard, I am responsible. If I'm willing to take responsibility, what do I have to do with others? β
"I'm worried that I won't be able to convince the public."
"That's what I'm going to worry about. If I can stand on my feet, you will be able to stand on your feet. If you can be the minister, when I am my right-hand man, I believe I can stand firmer. β
"Minister Chen, thank you for your trust in me. I want to think again. At the very least, I'll have to discuss it with my family. β
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After saying this, Chen Zhi reached out and patted Shu Wan's arm, and walked downstairs.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Shu Wan was eating, he mentioned this matter with Qi Tong.
Qi Tong stopped the chopsticks that were picking up vegetables, looked at Shu Wan, and said, "You think so, right?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked for my opinion and would have refused. β
"Hmm." Shu Wan replied.
"But have you ever thought that you are only 32 years old, and you are still a woman when you are the minister of an old state-owned enterprise. You're going to be criticized for that. β
"I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried that I won't be able to take care of my family. β
"That's right. will not be able to take care of the family. You're not 22, you're 32. If you don't put your baby on your schedule, you'll soon become an advanced maternal age. β
Shu Wan had a cold face and said, "So, your schedule is already on the agenda, and you have already had a child?" β
"Yes. It's either this year or next year. Don't you think so? β
"Didn't I say we'd wait until the time was right?"
"Now the time is ripe. What do you need to have a baby? Stable parental relationship; Mature in mind and ready to be a mom and dad; It can provide him with good material conditions. We have all of these. β
"If there are only a few conditions, why are there so many Dink families?"
"The Dink family, nine out of ten, will regret it in the future. Moreover, because they are afraid of responsibility, they want to live in a two-person world forever. You don't want to give birth because you're afraid of not taking good care of them, not because you haven't played enough. β
"Raising children, not raising cats and dogs. Let me put it this way. Qi Tong, in the next three years, I will not consider having children. At least for now, that's what I'm thinking. β
"Shu Wan ββ!"
Shu Wan pushed away the bowl and stood up, saying, "I'm full." I still have something to attend to, so I'm going over there. β
This dinner was made by Qi Tong and eaten at Qi Tong's house.
Qi Tong looked at her, silent, still holding chopsticks in his hand.
Shu Wan went back to his room, spread out on the sofa, and looked at the ceiling. Her phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hey."
"Hello! Are you the chairman of Ding Nuosui? β
"Dingβwho are you?"
"My surname is Dianmingxing, and I am the chief designer of Aunt Nuo, and I have something to report to you."
"Hello Dianxing! If there is anything, you can report directly to your general manager Ding Sanya. β
"It's about General Manager Ding Sanya. On the phone, I couldn't say a word or two. Let's make an appointment to meet. β
"Now?" Shu Wan looked at the time, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
"Now. Ding Dong, I really have something urgent to report to you. β
"Okay."
The two met at the 24-hour Hyunwon Cafe.
Shu Wan came to the coffee house and found that Dianxing had arrived. She walked over to Dianxing and sat down across from her.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I've made an appointment." Dian Xing was waiting in a hurry, and when he saw someone sitting down, he hurriedly said.
Shu Wan smiled and said, "Dianxing, right?" β
"You're-" Dianxing quickly got up and nodded, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you." β
"If you don't know me, you dare to ask me to meet. Aren't you afraid of being deceived? β
"I can't care about that much."
"Where did you get my number?"
"I found it from previous archives. Ding Dong, what I want to say to you is-"
Her voice was interrupted.
"Hello, you're here." Ding Sanya pushed the door in and walked towards Shu Wan and the others.
She sat down next to Shu Wan and said, "Dianxing, what are you talking about?" β
Dianxing glanced at Ding Sanya and said, "It's nothing." β
"Nothing, just go back to the studio. There's a problem with the list, and you can deal with it. Ding Sanya said coldly.
Her eyes locked on Dian Xing and said, "Ding Dong and I have been friends for many years. I'll tell her everything thoroughly. Thank you for your kindness. β
Dian Xing had no choice but to get up, nodded apologetically to Shu Wan, and went out.
"What are you doing?" Shu Wan asked.
"What are you doing?" Ding Sanya looked at her, "You said, all the things in the studio will be handled by me." It's not appropriate for you to see my person in private, right? β
"She called me so late and said there was something urgent. There's no way I'm not going to see it, right? β
"Isn't it because you don't trust me?"
