Chapter 7: A Boring Party
I don't know how I got out of the president's office and walked back to my position, I can't be fired because I have caused Li Liang to be dismissed, I know very well how much effort he has put into this position in this nationally renowned company.
He has to pay off the mortgage, he has to pay for his sister's schooling, and his parents have to honor his hometown, although he has a considerable salary, but there is not much left except for these expenses.
I can't imagine how he would have faced this sudden change when he lost his job.
And I can't get out the more than 120,000 yuan, so I can't do the two conditions she put forward that I can leave, and it seems that I can only stay for the time being and find a chance to get out later.
As for what this woman will do to me in the future, I am mentally prepared enough, since I have put myself to death, I can only resign myself to fate.
When my colleagues saw me come out, they all whispered to each other, some of them cast sympathetic or gloating glances at me, but at the moment I didn't have the heart to care about these discussions.
The big-ass woman Li Mitao also pretended to make me a cup of coffee, and after being glared at by me, she pretended to be innocent and aggrieved.
If it weren't for her and Vice President Zhang Fatzi who were embarrassed to plagiarize my plan, I wouldn't have gone to the bar to drink depressed that night, and if I hadn't gone to drink, I wouldn't have had some things to do later. Now that I have found myself in this dilemma, she is directly responsible.
At this time, Li Liang hurriedly came to my side from the office and asked urgently: "Old Wei, how is it?" ”
I didn't speak, I sat down in my chair dumbfounded.
Li Liang rubbed my shoulder and asked again: "What is the result, are you talking?" ”
I remained as silent as if I had lost my soul. Li Liang finally stopped talking as if he knew something, he patted me on the shoulder and sighed to comfort me: "It's okay brother, maybe there is a better opportunity waiting for you!" ”
I came back from my trance, knowing that my appearance had misled him, and looked up at him and said, "I'm not fired, you don't have to worry." ”
Hearing this, Li Liang's originally tense face suddenly became happy, and he slapped me and scolded with a smile: "You kid is teasing me, is there such a loss as you!" You're really good, you know, all the people who came out of it were expelled, only you stayed, you kid is really open. ”
I smiled silently in response, and my heart was bitter for a while, and I said secretly: Dude, you know a hammer.
I had a very tormented whole day, turning the ballpoint pen in my hand over and over again, thinking of various countermeasures, but there was no feasible plan.
In this way, when the office director Lao Liu came to the public office area and said loudly: "Everyone stop the work in hand, listen to me, the new arrival Mu always wants to have a better understanding with everyone, so tonight in the Qifeng Hotel held a cocktail party, and the hotel car will come to pick up everyone, Mr. Mu specially explained that he hopes that every colleague will be present, Mr. Mu has important instructions, it is about the future development direction of the company, I hope you don't miss tonight's cocktail party." Hope you all have a nice evening! ”
After Lao Liu finished speaking, there was a round of applause in the office, after all, the people who had been to the president's office at this time had basically left the company, and the rest had no psychological burden. Besides, having free wine is a good thing in itself, so there is no reason to be unhappy.
Laughter filled the whole company, but I was indifferent, I knew that a company gathering like this no longer meant anything to me, and perhaps it could be said that the only point I had in this company from now on was to bear the revenge of the woman surnamed Mu.
So I didn't want to participate in such a party, but in order not to make Li Liang suspicious, I still got into the hotel car. I don't want Li Liang to know the truth of the matter, which makes it difficult for him to choose between friends and career.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the magnificent eighth-floor lobby of Qifeng Hotel was filled with the aroma of wine. The dazzling lights illuminated the half-convex head of the office director, Lao Liu, making his head even more oily and shiny, and it looked a little funny.
But he can play the role of the host whenever there is any activity in the company, and the words of the scene make the hedgehog feel comfortable when he listens to it, and he is really wronged if he doesn't go to the TV station to develop.
At this moment, he was standing on the stage and announcing the opening speech of the reception into the microphone, and then solemnly introduced the personal information and resume of the new president.
Only then did I know that the woman I was completely offended by was called Mu Xichun, and what I didn't expect was that she was the daughter of Mu Zhongren, the vice president of the group, who was not only the vice president of the group with real power, but also the second largest shareholder of the group.
However, what surprised me was far more than that, this woman was not only born into a famous family, but her academic qualifications also made me look sideways, she not only graduated from Stanford University but also got a top student from the Wharton School of Business.
Looking at her resume, you can understand that her final destination must not be here, she just wants to use the branch as a springboard to train herself, and the headquarters of Beijing Group is her final destination.
But I really want to see how this awesome woman can reverse the bad situation of our A-city branch losing profits every year.
After Lao Liu finished his introduction, he handed over the microphone to Mu Xichun, and the whole hall was extremely quiet at this moment, and it seemed that he was shocked by this huge new president, and even forgot to applaud.
In the end, Lao Liu took the lead in applauding with a little embarrassment and reminded everyone that there should be applause here, and then the applause in the hall rang out like thunder for a long time, and it seemed that only in this way could he express his respect in his heart.
Only I sat in the corner and sneered at this group of idiots, picked up a glass of high-end foreign wine and took a sip, feeling that the taste was not as good as that of Beijing Niulanshan.
Mu Xichun on the stage was wearing a white dress, which set off her perfect figure to the extreme, looking dignified and noble, which made people unconsciously feel ashamed of themselves in their hearts.
She elegantly took the microphone and cleared her throat, and scanned the audience with a mesmerizing smile on her face: "Colleagues, hello, my name is Mu Xichun, I am honored to be appointed by the group to serve as the president of the branch in City A, first of all, I would like to thank you for your contributions to the company over the years, and secondly, I hope that in the future work, in the more and more difficult market environment, in more and more competitive pressure, you can work with me to do better!" ”
After saying this, she paused slightly, and then there was thunderous applause from the audience.
After a few moments, she raised her hand, and the applause in the audience gradually stopped.
She continued: "I believe everyone knows that due to policy changes, the real estate industry has ushered in an unprecedented crisis, which is also the fundamental reason why our branch has been negative in recent years, so this is not everyone's reason. The times are advancing, the social economy is changing with each passing day, if an enterprise wants to endure the operation must keep pace with the times, only in line with the pace of the development of the times to find a new direction of development of the enterprise can stand tall in the torrent of time. Sticking to the successful experience of the past and standing still, then no matter how brilliant the achievements are, they will only be the past. In a fast-paced socio-economic environment, it can only be eliminated. Now the country's control of real estate has made the entire industry face a difficult situation, so we have to change, as for the direction of the company's development in the future, I have done a detailed investigation and data comparison analysis before I arrived, and Miss Ye will give you a detailed report! ”
There was another round of applause from the audience, and everyone was excited and expectant, and everyone wanted to know what direction the new president was talking about to take the company in terms of change.
Miss Ye's name is Ye Manli, she is the assistant to the previous president, and now she temporarily serves the two presidents due to the alternation of the president's position, but the previous president knew that he was about to leave and did not attend tonight's cocktail party, and Ye Manli temporarily became Mu Xichun's assistant.
Ye Manli walked up to the stage and opened a folder to explain in detail to everyone in the company that the new president Mu Xichun would make detailed reforms to the company in the future.
Ye Manli spoke in detail on the stage, the crowd listened carefully, and I also sat in the corner and listened, but I was a little absent-minded.
The report is very comprehensive, and the analysis is also in place, with historical references, market research, economic panorama analysis, and market big data comparison.
As for the reform to be made in the future of the company in the report, in one sentence in the report, it is to develop outside the field on the basis of not changing the original attributes of the company, and realize the micro-transformation of the enterprise.
In my understanding, on the basis of not changing the purchase of land, building a house and selling a house, we may have to sell buns in the future, or we may have to cut people's hair and wash their feet. In a word, the company will achieve all-round development in all aspects in the future, and all kinds of industries must be involved.
I listened to it boringly, and thought that this double turtle could do anything, it turned out to be just a sale of real estate to sell groceries, in my opinion, this person who has stayed abroad is just like that, this idea can even be thought of by me, a student at the end of an ordinary university's grades, but the leader has no instructions in this regard.
The report was finally finished, and there was inevitably another round of applause, but fortunately, it was the time for communication, and no one would go up to speak again, and the roots of the ears could finally be cleared for a while.
Then the hall became active, first the company's executives went to toast with Mu Xichun one after another, then the middle-level management came forward with wine glasses, and finally the basic employees.
The order of precedence represents the level of the position, and I feel tired of seeing it. Mu Xichun didn't refuse, and generously clinked glasses with everyone, but only symbolically took a sip of wine. Seeing them smiling and their mouths opening and closing, you don't need to hear it to know that they are patting on the back.
I don't know why, I always can't adapt to such occasions, so I never learn to fit into such occasions, and I also know that these people are just products of this era, and if you want to live more calmly, you have to put on a mask for yourself, and you can't take it off after a long time.
It's not their fault in itself, so I'd rather fall into the cracks of reality than live as another person against my will, and I've always felt that if a person lives without even knowing himself, it's too boring.
Li Liang shook his elbow I shook the wine glass and gestured in the direction of Mu Xichun, I shook my head, he glared at me and emphasized the meaning just now, I smiled bitterly and still shook my head.
I know what he meant, but I really can't do it when I think about today's events and ask me to toast her like a turtle grandson.
He sighed and said to me in a tone that no one next to him could hear: "Unenlightened goods! After speaking, he walked towards Mu Xichun with a wine glass.
I felt a little blocked in my heart, and I desperately wanted to smoke a cigarette, so I looked around and saw that everyone in the hall was talking and laughing in groups, and I didn't know how they had so many topics to talk about. I thought that it would be boring here anyway, and the main topic had already been finished, so I might as well go out and breathe, so I got up and quietly walked out of the hall.
When I came to the outside of the hall, I took a deep breath, came to the temporary rest area at the elevator entrance, lit a cigarette, and lay on the sofa on my back, feeling full of decadence.
Before, I was still thinking in my heart to verify the correctness of Chairman Mao's argument on protracted warfare in this woman, but now it seems that this is a joke, and any strategy will look pale in the face of absolute strength, just as ridiculous as ants trying to strangle an elephant.
