Chapter 498: The Kind Man
Drive and feel the morning sun. For the first time, I felt helplessness from the bottom of my heart, and in just a few days, everyone around me left Shanghai. It's like it's an empty city, there's nothing to remember, but I can't leave here, because my roots and everything is here. The Wanyu, Zhang Ling, Wang Yingli, and Ma Xiaodan I care about have left one after another, but I can't stop anything. Looking up at the morning sun, I stopped at the traffic light and closed my eyes. It took me a long time before I opened my eyes, only to find that the traffic light was still red, and the countdown was only one second. I had a self-deprecating smile on my face, helpless but at a loss for what to say. Take a long breath of relief, wait for the red light to turn green, and then step on the accelerator and drive into the distance.
When I returned home at seven o'clock in the morning, I found the third child squatting behind my door. I threw the car keys to the third child, let the third child enter the door, I went to take a shower and came out and asked the third child what happened to the company after I left yesterday afternoon. The third child told me that Liu Jiyang had found a secretary for me, and the secretary waited in the company for an afternoon and didn't see me, and the little girl seemed to be very angry. Then there is the panic in the company, the drastic personnel reform makes people feel uneasy, and many departments are facing the fate of being cut down. I smiled and didn't speak, and asked the third Xiaonan how her body was after she was pregnant, and the third smiled and said it was fine. I poured myself a glass of milk and asked the third child if he wanted to have breakfast, and the third child said that he had eaten egg scones on the way here. I'm not hypocritical, I fried myself a poached egg and ate it briefly, then got in the car and let the third child drive to the company.
The sun is shining, and my heart is like water.
……
When I arrived at the office, I found that the attendance rate was significantly higher than yesterday and today. At half past seven in the morning, a large part of the employees had already arrived, and I knew that the place they rented was far away from the company, and it was a miracle to be able to arrive at the company at half past seven. I turned my head and told the third child to tell Liu Jiyang that a dinner party would be held in a nearby cafeteria in the evening, and everyone who was on duty from the company could go. The third child nodded, and I had a lot of fun in my heart, as if the third child could occasionally be my secretary.
When I came to the office, I sat down and looked at the materials that Liu Jiyang and others put on the table yesterday afternoon. After processing some of the information that I needed to work on, it was nine o'clock. Just as I was about to grab a cup of tea and go for two laps on the treadmill in the office, there was a knock on the office door. I frowned slightly and said, "Come in." ”
A girl in a professional lady's suit came in outside, and the reason why I say girl instead of woman is because the girl who came in was obviously very young. Although she wears professional women's clothes, high heels on her feet, and stockings on her legs, she always feels young. The girl has a mushroom head and a folder in her arms. I frowned slightly and asked, "Are you?" ”
The girl introduced herself: "I am Gu Man, your secretary. ”
I smiled playfully and said, "Liu Jiyang is really unreliable, get me such a little girl." ”
As I spoke, I was about to take the phone on the desk. The girl was visibly shocked by my remarks, and she really couldn't imagine that a president sitting in one of the busiest places in Shanghai would be dirty. And she vetoed herself without looking at her resume, and the girl who called Gu Man boldly walked in, sat opposite me and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I have signed an employment contract with your company, and you must use me." ”
Hearing the girl say this, I put down the phone in my hand and looked at her and said, "Okay! Go out and turn right, clean the toilet for a week, and then say, the salary is still the level of the president's secretary. ”
"You ......" The girl glared at me with anger in her big eyes for three seconds before turning away with the folder in her arms.
I didn't say anything, everyone has everyone's values. I don't think it's a bad thing to make things difficult for someone, on the contrary, if you want to manage your employees well, you have to sharpen their anger against themselves. Only after holding their breath can people stop eating and waiting for death. This is the experience I learned from Ma Xiaodan, and it is worth savoring.
Liu Jiyang seemed to be very relieved of Gu Man, I asked her to clean the toilet, but Liu Jiyang didn't even pay attention. At noon, I discussed the dinner party in the evening, but Liu Jiyang didn't intercede for Gu Man. Since Liu Jiyang didn't speak, it proved that Gu Man was not so important to Liu Jiyang, and after Liu Jiyang left, I asked the office clerk to bring Gu Man's information. Looking at Gu Man's information, I found that this little girl graduated from the Department of Finance of Jiaotong University and had a good academic background. But there is not a word about her background. I frowned slightly, and said with a smile in my heart: "Cunning Liu Jiyang! ”
In the afternoon, I received a message from Xu Gongsheng, he said that he has two friends who are engaged in manufacturing, and now the prospects of the company are good, but because of personal reasons, they want to immigrate overseas and hope to meet and negotiate with me. After hearing this, I smiled and said, "Brother Xu, where do you say to meet, let's have dinner together in the evening!" ”
"Then Waldorf Astoria!" Xu Gongsheng said with a smile.
"Okay, it'll be there in the evening." I put down the phone, looked at the foreign paintings on the walls around me, frowned slightly, picked up the phone on the desk and called Xiao Jiang in the office. Xiao Jiang is an office clerk, working in the secretarial department, a college student who just graduated this year, usually helps me do some small things to deal with documents, originally I hoped that she could be qualified as a secretary, but she was obviously not suitable, so there was Gu Man later. I said to Xiao Jiang: "Go buy some Chen Danqing's paintings and put them on the wall, and now all these things on the wall are taken down and put in the storage room." ”
"Ahh The little girl was a little surprised, obviously startled by my words. She didn't understand why I suddenly wanted to buy Chen Danqing's paintings, and our company's style was not suitable for any heavy style of painting. I looked at her with a slight frown, and she quickly reacted and quickly agreed to do it immediately. I nodded and let her out, walked to the couch next to me and sat down, boiling water to make tea.
……
Our company's dinner party was set in a high-end cafeteria, and more than 100 people from the company were present. Liu Jiyang was in charge of everything on site, and I went to the site to talk face-to-face with the company's employees and talk about the company's criticisms. Although the buffet was delicious, they all ate with trepidation, and they all knew about the layoffs, and they were afraid that this would be the last dinner they had in the summer, but I let them relax. Leaving Summer Finance, many branches of the Summer Group need to hire people, and they can go to the branches. As long as the treatment remains the same, it can always gain a foothold in Shanghai. In fact, I'm just talking big, this layoff is not my responsibility, with Jiang Meng's temperament, I'm afraid that all branches of the company in the summer will face the danger of layoffs, and even the CEOs of some branches will be laid off, this is the means of the iron-fisted lady Jiang Meng.
I didn't stay here for long, and after asking Liu Jiyang and the others about the next activities, I left the cafeteria and went to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to meet Xu Gongsheng. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai is not the top in Shanghai, which is represented by luxury, but it can be said to be somewhat good. The third child drove, and I lay in the back of the car and closed my eyes to sleep. After a busy day, I was exhausted, and it was only in the car that I could close my eyes.
The third child asked me, "Boss, why do you want to take them to dinner?" ”
I smiled and said, "These people who have been laid off are all Liu Jiyang's people. Liu Jiyang must have resentment in his heart, but he can't show it. I just did this to give Liu Jiyang some face, and I couldn't embarrass him too much. Moreover, for those people, being laid off by a large company in Shanghai is a terrible thing. Because some of them depend on me for a living, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in Shanghai without me, and they can't be a man without benevolence and righteousness. Of course, I also know that a large part of them will hate me because I have ruined their future, but in fact, I also let them understand. Your future should not be in the hands of others. I also experienced this problem a lot before I realized that not everyone has the spirit of entrepreneurship even if they starve to death. ”
"I don't understand." The third child frowned and said.
I opened my eyes and looked at the bustling street scene of the Bund at night. With a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Behind how much glitz there is, there is beastly competition. There is competition externally, and there is still competition internally. To put it simply, the current society is a society with strong enemies inside and troubles outside, and it cannot be manipulated in it, but can only be killed and turned into someone else's appetizer. And the people who create these competitions are collectively called capitalists! ”
"Got it!" The third child said dumbfoundedly: "Xiao Nan told me that my physical ability is my capital and my advantage. That's why I can stay with you and be friends with you. ”
"Correct solution!" I smiled, picked up the cigar in the car and lit it, and I was so heroic.
Lower your car window, enjoy the cold breeze and look at the neon buildings around you. I'm thinking, maybe Wang Yingli has rushed to Beijing at this moment, what will her future become! I'm the only one left in Shanghai, and I'm going to be a little cold-blooded and more beastly here. Only in this way can I gain a foothold here, a firm foothold here. There are benevolent people, but I am not. The heroes who can really stand in this world have always been despicable and shameless, and benevolence and righteousness are just brainwashing tools for ordinary people by the superiors. It can blur the animality of human beings, make people wear suits, and become a money-making tool for the superiors, or a grasshopper under their hands.
Hao Ren!
Actually, I'm not, I'm a bad person!
The car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria door, and I got out of the car and drove to the parking lot. Walking into the hall, I found Xu Gongsheng and two men drinking tea in the hall, and after seeing me come in, Xu Gongsheng stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Hao, you are late, and you will be punished with three cups after entering the table, it will be white!" ”
"Ha Luha, it has to be." I replied with a smile. The corner of his eye turned to the two people behind Xu Gongsheng, one of them was wearing a tailor-made suit, the hair on his head was extremely thin, and his figure was a little bloated, but his face was calm and calm, and he only smiled slightly after seeing me. The other is burly, one meter and eighty-five tall. Wearing a suit is a bit like a gorilla, nondescript but not too weird, and smiling is more ugly than crying.
I smiled and asked Xu Gongsheng, "These two are!" ”——
PS: One more!
