"I joined the company a few years before you, but when I first came in, did you know what the first thing our supervisor said to me?"

"What is it?"

"He said, boy, you have to learn to stand in line in Wanjiang."

"Take sides?"

"Yes, it's so naked," Tao Guanfeng took a sip of his own and continued: "When Mr. Xiao was in power, there were many mountains up and down the Yangtze River, and there were countless small groups......

Li Rui frowned and said, "You mean that someone is pulling me in line?"

"Count you brat smart."

"I'm just an ordinary employee, will sleep win me over?"

"Let me tell you this, it may not be a person who woos you, it may be a group of people, a group, you are excluded by Mr. Xiao, but they want to woo you, you should understand what their purpose is, right?"

Li Rui glanced at Tao Guanfeng and said with a smile, "You were also ostracized, so they also wooed you?"

Tao Guanfeng said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you, it's true, but I have no value in me, as long as I can stand in line, unlike you, I have the ability and potential."

"According to you, no one instructed you to bring me a message? Is that what you mean?"

"Let's just say that, I do want to stammer with you, but it's an indisputable fact that someone wants to win you over."

"You're stammering me? What do I have to stutter about, aren't we the same, brothers and sisters."

"No, brother, I can already see that you are a capable person, and you will do great things in the future." Tao Guanfeng patted his ass.

Li Rui naturally knows that if it is because of his outstanding ability, Tao Guanfeng feels that it is worth increasing emotional investment, it is nonsense. How many elites are there in Wanjiang, which one is not worth his investment, why choose himself.

"You kid, your kung fu is first-class, so if you have this ability, you might as well stammer Gu Mingshan." Li Rui sneered.

In Li Rui's view, Tao Guanfeng's actions are most likely because of the relationship between himself and Shen Xiaoling. As his top boss, Tao Guanfeng naturally will not let go of this good opportunity to make a fool of himself.

As for the issue of taking sides within the group, this should be a true lie. No matter which company it is, it is all chasing interests, and if there are interests, there will be interest groups, and there will be factional struggles. It is impossible for any company to be free of factional struggles. In particular, an old group like the Wanjiang Group, which is not young, has a particularly strong power struggle.

Therefore, it is normal that there are factions within Wanjiang. Tao Guanfeng's reason for this was just to cling to Shen Xiaoling and show his loyalty.

As mentioned last time, Wanjiang Group adopts a flat management model. In addition to the chairman, CEO and director, the nominal senior management of the group also includes the heads of various departments, such as CIO (chief information officer) and CFO (chief financial officer), all of whom work on the front line and lead the work of their respective departments.

For example, Liu Feng serves as the CSO, that is, the chief security officer, who is responsible for presiding over the work of the security department. However, he himself thinks that the supervisor is not easy to call, and the contact is all social miscellaneous, so he calls him Manager Liu a little more. As for the CLO served by Gu Mingshan, that is, the chief legal officer, no one would casually give her the title of manager, and everyone honestly called her Director Gu. Fun Cabinet

As a result, the group's middle-level positions have become very awkward. Because of the presence of department heads, the role of middle leaders naturally shifts to their deputies. However, the separate allocation of departmental deputy posts will cause bloated institutions and redundant personnel. As a result, Xiao Xiao formulated a very bold and innovative competition mechanism: meritocracy, meritocracy, in addition to the administrative department, in each department set up a comprehensive office, although the comprehensive office and the rest of the office at the same level, but its director as a middle-level officer, responsible for assisting the department head to preside over the work.

If other office directors want to get this opportunity, they don't need to go through promotion, but only need to be transferred by translation. equally

If you want to remove the director of the integrated office, you don't have to worry about vacancies, and you can go up and down. In this way, the internal mobility is greatly increased, and the enthusiasm of employees is also stimulated, and there is no redundancy in personnel.

In addition to innovating in middle-level leaders, Xiao Xiao also has another trick: special class operation. That is, to break the original departmental restrictions, jump out of the box, and according to the needs of the project, select elite soldiers and strong generals, and set up a special work team. Just like this time, Li Rui was transferred to the investigation team, which was a special team set up for the Huamao project.

The members of the special class have a hidden benefit, that is, they can get closer to the senior management of the group, and when they get closer to the leader, they will naturally get greater opportunities.

Shen Xiaoling has outstanding work ability. He is also a middle-level cadre, and he belongs to the cadre type. Even Xiao Xiao, who has always been very unconvinced, has affirmed it in public many times. In addition, the legal department where she works is an important department of the group, before Li Rui came here, she was also transferred to the special class many times, and at the moment, she is also the person in charge of many special classes, and even Xiao Xiao praised her.

At such a dangerous juncture, Shen Xiaoling naturally had to behave impartially and never join any company faction. It is precisely because of this that she has become an important figure for people from all walks of life to recruit. If anyone obtains Shen Xiaoling's support, his strength will increase to a higher level. In fact, it is the best weapon to eradicate dissidents and protect the same party.

According to Tao Guanfeng's logic, since Shen Xiaoling is not easy to woo, if he can include Lin Kun in his camp. If you persuade Shen Xiaoling again, it will be much easier.

Of course, Lin Kun was not disgusted by Tao Guanfeng's desire to win over. Although Tao Guanfeng is snobbish, fortunately, he can still put the word "righteousness" in the center of his life and work, which is commendable.

What Li Rui has to do is not to stay out of the matter, but to have an in-depth understanding of the factional struggle.

And the best way to understand this is to join this game.

"Hehe, then I'll have to rely on you to take care of Lao Tao in the future." Li Rui thought for a while, laughed easily, and said, "I'm still afraid that someone will stumble on me."

Tao Guanfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and when Li Rui's words came out, he understood in his heart, indicating that Shen Xiaoling's boat was taken by himself.

But there was a solemn look on his face, and he sighed, "You, smart is smart, but you are too self-conscious, and it is easy to offend others. But it's okay, I'm already at the end of my life anyway, and I don't dare to think about a promotion and a raise, I'll stand in the way for you in the future, and I'll take care of it for you if something happens."

"It's just a pot to carry together." Li Rui said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I don't have any other skills, it's still okay to take the blame."

Li Rui laughed secretly in his heart, this old Tao has indeed some means. If he were a department head, maybe he would really be co-opted into a confidant by his various means.

"Here, let's do one."

Tao Guanfeng also laughed and patted his shoulders and said, "Who told us to fall in love like this, let me tell you, you opened my eyes that night, and if you dare to talk to Cheng Cheng like this, I dare to say that I can't find a second one in Shanghai!"

"Alas, it's serious, it's serious, the past is not worth mentioning!"

……

The two rested for a long time before they parted.

After the separation, Li Rui drove to the community where Shen Xiaoling lived. Since I didn't bring my phone with me when I took a shower, I opened it and saw that there was a text message from an unfamiliar phone.

"If you want to buy a house, you have to remember, the price is real, exclusive in Shanghai, don't wait, we are waiting for you to buy!" On the surface, it is a common advertising text message, but if you read one every three times, you can see, "I miss you, waiting for you at home", this number is another number used by Shen Xiaoling.

Because Li Rui insisted on claiming that he had a wife, the two stipulated that if they sent a message to Li Rui at night. One is that you must not use the original number, and the other is that you need some cover. That's why there is such a one. As for being in the company, it doesn't matter. The two have a superior-subordinate relationship, and there is an occasional phone call and text message exchange in broad daylight, which is an extremely common thing.

However, if Li Rui called Shen Xiaoling, he would not have so many scruples.

Li Rui parked the car

In the parking lot of a commercial building a few kilometers near the community, he directly stopped a taxi and came to Shen Xiaoling's house.

When Shen Xiaoling saw Li Rui coming, she obviously couldn't hide her joy. I originally sent a text message, but I didn't see it back, and I was still worried about whether Li Rui would come. But I didn't expect him to not only come, but also come early.

is very different from the company, Shen Xiaoling, who has personal time, took off her glasses and returned to her original appearance. The curved and soft pretty face, with a pair of moist eyes, makes people reluctant to move away. Very casually, he put on a pink, shadowy loose nightgown, revealing a white, pink lotus arm. The hair was clearly freshly washed, just half-dried and curled and draped over the shoulders. It shows a coquettish, lazy and charming atmosphere.

If any colleague in the company who was familiar with Shen Xiaoling saw this scene, his surprised eyes would pop out. Although Shen Xiaoling in the company is also discerning, she can be regarded as a beauty. It's just a perennial gray and white OL suit, and wearing glasses, although it shows a little bit of the beauty of knowing the surname, but the serious expression makes people feel that it lacks the characteristics of the surname.

And Shen Xiaoling at this moment is completely showing another side of her. Feminine, seductive, and even surname-sensitive.

Like a little wife, she changed Li Rui into slippers, and then dragged Li Rui to the living room like a girl who was just beginning to fall in love. is completely different from being a strong woman in the company, only at this time does she seem to show her true surname. Even her small room, which is only more than 70 square meters, is warmly and romantically decorated by it.

"Lin Kun, you sit here and watch TV for a while." Shen Xiaoling pressed Li Rui on the sofa and personally called up the TV series he liked to watch.

Then, like a virtuous wife, he poured a cup of tea. Only then did he snuggle up beside Li Rui and whispered, "You drank with Lao Tao at night, right? I don't know how to eat more, I've already prepared all the ingredients for the braised pork, do you want to do it now?"
