3. Call anything!
According to the agreement, Mr. Fan arrived at the hotel of the general manager of Asia at eight o'clock on Monday morning, he parked the car, went to the lobby, looked at his watch for a few minutes, and wandered there. Suddenly saw Yvo
E got out of a taxi, and he wondered, isn't this foreign girl staying in a hotel? But before he had time to think more, he ran straight to the turnstile and waited for her to come in, Yvo
E was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was Mr. Fan, and then greeted with a smile, "Good Mo."

οΌ Of course, Mr. Fan still understood this sentence, and quickly replied, "Good morning!" "Why did you come here so early?" This sentence is a bit long, and Mr. Fan can't understand it, so he scolded Huang Translator in his heart, asking you to come over with me last night, but you didn't come, saying that you were not feeling well, and see if you are not making a fool of yourself for a while. But it's okay, Yvo
E saw that Mr. Fan didn't quite understand what she meant, so he didn't say anything anymore, but beckoned him to go to the cafΓ© to sit down. Mr. Fan knows the habits of foreigners, and when he has a little time to wonder, he will stand at the bar and ask for a cup of hot coffee to drink, and by the way, he can also chat, today because of language problems, he can't speak freely, but drinking a cup of coffee and waiting for someone is also a good way.
The two asked for a cappuccino and Yvo respectively
E also asked for a piece of hot dog, and in front of Mr. Fan, he took a big bite to enjoy it. Mr. Fan guessed that maybe she was in bed and didn't eat breakfast, because he knew that his women were the same, no matter how early or late they went to bed, they just didn't want to get up in the morning, whether it was summer or winter, the younger they were, the more this problem was. However, Mr. Fan has already realized that he is a subordinate of this foreign girl, so he gently sipped the coffee, and he couldn't drink it all at once, so he had to wait for the new boss to finish eating and drink it all together.
As soon as they put down the cup, Mr. Fan rushed to pay the bill, but was Yvo
e blocked. βitβs my job!β couldn't figure out what the foreign girl meant, so Mr. Fan asked her to swipe the card.

After E finished speaking, he immediately felt regret and immediately said, "So."
yοΌ She knew that Mr. Fan's English was not up to par, and there was a barrier to communication. However, she began to think in her heart that a vice president can't communicate directly with herself, everything has to rely on translation, not to mention wasting a lot of time, but she will avoid a lot of misunderstandings in expression. But today was the first day, and it wasn't the time for her to think about it.
The general manager of Asia appeared in front of them, and first hugged Mr. Fan, but then with Yvo
E just shook hands, and the three of them went out and got into Mr. Fan's car.
A little over two hours later, they arrived at the factory. When the three of them walked into the conference room, Huang Yi immediately came over to pour tea, because she knew that the general manager of Asia liked Chinese green tea. It was Yvo's turn
e, I heard say, "Mi."

οΌ Huang Yiyi knew that he was careless, but he quickly took the bottled mineral water from the freezer and respectfully handed it to the new boss. It all seemed natural, but it didn't feel the same in the hearts of the two women.
At this time, the general manager of Asia suddenly said, "Huang, you come here, I don't know why Mr. Fan personally drove to pick me up today, isn't the driver there?" β
Huang translated these words, and looked at Mr. Fan, because he heard that this foreigner's tone was not so friendly, and he seemed to be a little deliberately finding fault. However, Mr. Fan didn't care at all, but said generously, "Tell him that I drove over today not because of him, but because the new president arrived, and it was a woman, so I had to drive over to pick it up for the first time, which is our Chinese etiquette!" β
Huang Translation flipped over, but immediately the corner of the general manager of the Asian region showed a trace of disdain, and immediately said, "I don't know you Chinese say ma."

Better. β
"What did he say?" Mr. Fan felt that his tone was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.
"I translated the president, but the boss seems to mean the general manager."
"Who?"
"The new boss!" Because everyone was locking up the translator, Huang Translator seemed a little cramped, and he was embarrassed to point with his hand, but Mr. Fan understood that he was not satisfied with what he said about the president and foreigner.
"The general manager is the general manager, I have no opinion!"
This meaning was translated, and the general manager of Asia nodded, but it was Yvo
E said, "Call me anything!" β
"No, no," Lianzhu, the general manager of Asia, said a few no, "the English on the business card can be ma."

, but Chinese must be total, classic, and rational. Then he grunted after Yvo
E explained for a long time, probably meaning Huang Translator heard it, saying that the Chinese care about these titles very much, and it is easy to confuse these titles.
At eleven o'clock, they went to the large conference room, where all the staff in charge were already waiting. Seeing a few people coming in, the personnel director took the lead in applauding, but after two applause, few people followed up, and the personnel director stopped awkwardly, and then saw Mr. Fan beckoning, and the factory director took the lead in applauding, and the whole conference room was full of applause. The personnel director knew that it was pre-arranged by Mr. Fan, but he was not as pessimistic as in the past, after all, he was in charge today, and he believed that the new general manager would definitely change the status quo.
The meeting was very short, that is, the general manager of Asia introduced Yvo
E's brief background and the appointment of her as the general manager of the company by the headquarters. Then the new general manager just said, "My name is Yvo."
E, I'm still young, I'm here to learn. I don't speak Chinese, but I'm studying hard and I hope you will give me half a year. All work still depends on everyone, especially on the leadership of President Fan. Thank you. β
Originally, after the new general manager finished speaking, the general manager of Asia was ready to announce the dismissal of the meeting, but he saw Yvo
E whispered something to him, and announced, "Next, please invite Deputy General Manager Fan to speak!" β
When Mr. Fan was wondering whether he would let himself speak, when he heard this voice, he hurriedly walked to the front of the stage, "Hello everyone! The audience burst into thunderous applause. The two men on the stage looked at each other. There were also a few people in the audience who winked at the stage, as if they were making eye contact with something.
"Today, on behalf of our factory, I would like to welcome the newly arrived Ms. Shapiro as General Manager." There was another round of applause from the audience. After the applause, Huang Translator said what he had just meant in English. However, many people in the audience giggled. Huang Yiyi knew what the reason was, but the leaders on the stage didn't know. Then, Mr. Fan also learned the appearance of two foreigners, just said a few words, and ended hastily, and everyone didn't hear any meaning, but they just felt that Mr. Fan was very special today, and it was completely different from the long speeches in the past.
At the end of the meeting, the general manager of Asia will arrange for the car to leave, saying that he has arranged to go to the factory in Anhui. In fact, he knew that his continued presence would have a negative impact on the new general manager, at least, he didn't know who would arrange for the reception of the immediate boss.
After sending off the general manager of Asia, the next step is the real work. For Yvo
e, there are so many things to do, first of all, the office. After the foreign company took over the office building, the entire office remained basically unchanged, and even the original name plate was not changed, but a few new department numbers were added. So now Mr. Fan's office is the chairman's office in the past, because before the takeover, Fan was always the chairman and general manager, so he has not moved for more than a year. But yesterday he also thought about this problem, and also thought about vacating this office to the newly arrived general manager, but when he thought of this little girl who looked less than thirty years old, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he complained that the headquarters didn't know what he thought, why didn't he send a man in his forties and fifties, at least so that he could still talk about his face. Could it be that the world's top 500 companies can't see this small factory with an annual turnover of less than 100 million US dollars, and it can't send a novice to come over to practice? I want to think about it, but he can't help the decision of the headquarters, except to accept it or accept it. However, just because people accept it does not mean that the heart also accepts it. Thinking of this, he didn't move, and waited until the foreign girl came. Now, the big girl is here, and she must decide.
"Xiao Huang, you told her that I moved out of the office and she came in?" Mr. Fan said.
Huang Translator told Yvo
e, but the new general manager immediately said, "I don't care, it's good here!" She was talking about a small conference room, which was obviously too small for the general manager. So, Mr. Fan suggested going to the empty general manager's office to have a look.
According to the arrangement of the day before yesterday, the administration department had cleaned the office yesterday, and after entering, Yvo
E found that the size of this office is almost exactly the same as Mr. Fan's office, if you have to find out the difference, it is nothing more than a little biased, in other words, a little sunset. However, Yvo
E liked it and asked, "Is this place empty?" β
"In the past, it was dedicated to the general manager." As he spoke, Huang Yiyi also led the new boss to see the name plate, which showed the words "General Manager's Office" in Chinese and English. So, Yvo
E said, "M."
. Fa
That's it, here I am. β
In this way, the problem of the office was solved, and Mr. Fan was also very happy, he could not move for the time being, what does this mean, at least for ordinary employees, this company is still Mr. Fan's final say. This is the psychology of ordinary people.
Then there's the issue of translation. Regarding the translation, the general manager of Asia gave a list of conditions, which can be regarded as a help for the newcomer who has just arrived in China, and his suggestion is this, the translation must meet three conditions, 1. Returnees studying in the U.S.; 2. Preferably undergraduate major in Chinese or law; 3. Outside the region. When Mr. Fan saw these three conditions, he was disappointed. According to his idea, let Huang Yi come directly to work with the general manager, which can save human resources, and at the same time can also understand the boss's every move, which is really a double win. However, after looking at this condition, Huang Translator did not meet the first article, although Huang Translator is also a top student in a foreign language college, he did not come back from abroad. In this way, the result of the discussion between the two CEOs with the help of Huang Translator was to immediately notify the Human Resources Department to recruit according to the requirements of the General Manager of Asia, and until the new translator was in place, Manager Huang would temporarily assist the General Manager in his work. Then the HR director was called and the matter was immediately arranged.
After finishing all this, when it was time to eat, Mr. Fan returned to his office, and Huang Yi accompanied the general manager to the small canteen. Because Saturday Yvo
E already had a little experience, but when she approached the small cafeteria, it still surprised her. To be honest, she is still satisfied with the meal on Saturday, and thinks that the environment and meals are good, and the atmosphere is also very good, but today I entered this small canteen, which is simply the same level as the hotel's western restaurant, whether it is decoration or furniture, it is very high-grade, Yvo
E wondered if he was lagging behind, or if his hometown of Miami was lagging behind. Maybe the Chinese are really so rich. When she saw Huang Yi go to the kitchen, she found a table and sat down, but when Huang Yi came out, he beckoned her to go with her, and then went upstairs and entered a private room. The decoration here is actually similar to the one below, the only difference is the quietness. As soon as I sat down, a waiter came in and asked, "What do you want to drink?" β
"She speaks English?" Yvo
E was surprised.
"A little." The girl didn't know that she was the newly appointed general manager, and she was just treated like a normal foreign guest.
At this time, Huang Yi immediately explained, "Little sister, this is our general manager, who took office today. β
"Huh?!" With that, the waiter ran out and got Yvo
E was puzzled.
Huang Yi went out with him, and after a while, the waitress came in again, first apologized to the general manager, and then served coffee and ice water. Yvo
E said thank you, then asked, "What's your name?" β
"The big guys call me little sister. Actually, my surname is Hua, the Hua of China. Her name is Lili. β
"Lili's name is good, it's very good, and English means lily. It's perfect for you! "Through the translation," said the general manager.
"No, because of my surname, they make fun of me and always call me Flower Fox, so when I come here, I say that I call Xiaomei, and this place calls girls like that."
When the translation was finished, the general manager also laughed and smiled very happily. "Little sister, you have a good sense of humor!"
One sentence made the other two girls' eyes widen.
The meal came up, and it was divided, one per person, for a total of three. When Lili went out, the general manager asked the translator, "How can you have more?" β
"Mr. Fan's."
Yvo
E stopped the knife and fork in his hand and asked, "You usually call Mr. Fan like this?" β
"Yes, we're all used to it."
"What does Mr. Fan mean?"
"Van is his su
ame (last name), always means general manager. Huang explained.
"General Manager?" Yvo
E muttered. However, the voice was very soft, and Huang Translator didn't hear it clearly. It's just that she could sense the general manager's doubts, so she continued to explain, "This is the habit of Chinese, whether it is the general manager or the vice president, they all call it what the general is." Besides, Mr. Fan was originally the chairman and general manager before the acquisition of this company. So everyone is used to it. β
Yvo
E nodded, indicating that she understood. But soon, she asked, "What will you call me from now on?" β
Huang Yi was about to speak, the door opened, Mr. Fan came in, said hello, sat down to eat, and said from time to time, "Hungry!" β
The two women watched the big man purring and picking up rice in his mouth, and when they saw the gobbling appearance, they felt funny in their hearts, the man was really rude. When he had finished a small bowl of rice and started to drink the soup, he asked, "What are you talking about?" β
"Are we talking about the general manager's Chinese name?" Huang Translation said.
"Isn't it called Shapiro? I think it's called Mr. Xia, Xia Yuna, how nice it sounds! Mr. Fan said.
This was translated to Yvo
e, and listened to the explanation of the literal meaning of Chinese, so it was decided, when arranging the printing of business cards in the future, it will be called Xia Yuna, as for whether everyone is called Xia Zong, she doesn't care.
After lunch, Huang told Mr. Xia that the old rule of the factory is that there is a lunch break at noon and work at half past two. When the time comes, she will move her things over to work temporarily.
When Huang returned to her office, she heard Mr. Fan call her over, she hesitated, but walked over and asked, "What about that little goblin?" β
"Send her into the city to buy something for Xia Yuna. I guess I'll be back in the afternoon. β
"Is there something wrong?" Huang Translator stood at the door and asked.
"Come in, close the door!" Mr. Fan beckoned.
Huang Yi took a step forward, gently closed the door behind his back, and locked it unconsciously. "No, you're always like this, a big worker, it's not good if someone bumps into you. Now there's an extra pair of eyes downstairs! β
"Whatever you want!" After speaking, Mr. Fan opened the door and entered the inner room.
Huang Yi hesitated for a while, but still followed. Although it wasn't the first time she had been to this chairman's room, she wasn't a regular visitor to it now, and she knew that the goblin would be fooling around here most of the time at noon, so she didn't want to come here now, she felt that it wasn't clean.
"Mr. Fan, why do you look unhappy? Was it okay when you just ate? β
"Do you think I'll feel better?"
"Is it because of Mr. Xia?"
"Not really." Mr. Fan thought for a moment and said, "It can't be all wrong." Fuck, I invited everyone to dinner last night, you know you left after the meeting, I wanted everyone to go and have a good time, but half of them didn't go, which is impossible if you put it aside. It's not that they heard that the new boss is coming, and they want to change their court. These people look down on people, I think they should go to find a job before they change their courts! β
When Huang Yi heard this, she believed the words of the middle-aged man in front of her very much. On the surface, he was kind, but if anyone touched his cheese, he would never let it go. At the same time, she also felt cold in her heart, if she betrayed him one day, wouldn't she have to face the same ending. "Who's there? Why didn't you tell me to go? β
"That kind of place, it's a man's paradise, how can I let you go to that kind of place?"
"I heard you don't often take that leprechaun to Hipi?" Huang muttered.
"Why are you like her? She was supposed to be there to mingle. Hearing this, Huang Yi was taken aback, it has been so long, this is the first time I have heard Mr. Fan talk about the background of that little secretary. No wonder Mr. Fan is still bent on being good to himself, it turns out that he is just playing with that little goblin in his heart. So she walked over, sat in Mr. Fan's arms, and hugged each other. "The factory director shouldn't have a problem, right?"
"Of course, my buddy. Lao Hu, Xiao Fang, Manager Cai, and the old horse in the laboratory are all interesting. Logistically and logistically inaccurate. The rest is unfucking unreliable. β
"Didn't you bring the sales director personally?"
"These people are running away outside, it's not that he has two thoughts about me because of the new general manager, it's just that that guy wants to stand on his own sooner or later. But he is a northern man, and he is still quite righteous. β
