Chapter 58: Kasumi
Kasumi was standing in the middle of the carriage. A carriage of the Sky Railway.
The Aerial Railways are traveling at high speed through the city—the slender passages that seem to protrude from the waists of the huge buildings on both sides, and only allow the Aerial Railways to pass through, winding gracefully in the air, and transporting people quickly to all parts of the Sky Island.
It reminds Kasumi of arterial blood vessels.
The cars on the ground, waiting for the traffic lights, and the people walking even slower, are like the blood in the veins of this giant city.
So, what about those who drive floating cars?
The company's top management, the executive department, the journalists, the already famous idols.
and businessmen who are not so compliant and therefore not in the company, but who are just as wealthy.
As we all know, floating cars don't need to follow traffic rules. Floaters will carve out their own lanes and avoid other floats and protruding buildings. Naturally, that doesn't require much driving skills.
It doesn't walk on a fixed road like an aerial railway, nor does it get stuck in traffic like a motor vehicle, waiting for traffic lights and intersections to evacuate and divert traffic.
It has its own set of rules - just don't bump into other people driving hovercars.
It's like a metastatic tumor. She thought.
She can also be a person driving a floating car, flying in the sky like a wingless bird.
But she hated that feeling.
It is also a mortal fetus in the flesh, but when someone can fly freely in the sky by his own will...... He looked at those who could only crawl on the ground, and there was inevitably a trace of contempt in his heart that could not be hidden.
They will be mistaken for a higher creation.
Even if he doesn't have any special or talent, it's just that the credit points behind his personal account are a few or a dozen zeros more than others.
These are intangible, indiscriminate, and only expressed in an illusory number...... But it can make some people volley in the air. And they think it's because they've been born noble, because they have invisible wings behind them.
It doesn't make sense with them. Kasumi thought to herself.
Her "playmates" when she was a child almost took this for granted. But from a very young age, she always felt that something was wrong.
As the daughter of the director of the head office, she has the blood of the "upper echelons" in her veins. As long as she wants to, she can at least become a leader above the middle level of the company, and the process is completely compliant.
She was taught thirteen different skills including kendo, mathematics, finance, and shooting from an early age, and was able to intern at the company in high school.
Dodgson would put her in the group's public relations department as an assistant to the deputy minister.
It seems that the deputy minister is a position that is not too high, and it does not seem to make a difference.
But the situation is different on the side of Tianen Group.
The Public Relations Department of the Grace Group is directly under the jurisdiction of the top management and has the power to make recommendations and requests to all other departments, and the Director of the Public Relations Department is itself the President of the Grace Group. And the deputy minister is the real minister.
The deputy minister does not need qualifications, because he has basically risen to the ceiling.
As soon as the minister leaves or is promoted to the board of directors, he will naturally rise to the top and become the new president.
As for the vice president, this position is the one who will not be promoted, because this position does not have its own competent department in principle, and is a "flexible position". This is generally the president who has done something wrong, and will be assigned to a deputy position, or a director who has been squeezed out, will fall into this position. Mainly responsible for eating idle meals and carrying pots.
In terms of this promotion path, the deputy secretary is only two levels lower than Dodgson.
He would give Dodkison a face, and give the intern normal treatment — for example, by writing her name on the back of a PR case that could be passed.
This is already a blessing. Normally, a PR proposal from an intern will never pass.
When the PR case submitted by these interns is handed over to the team leader, it will inevitably be dismissed. However, the possibilities and ideas they put forward will be processed by the team leader with his higher knowledge and work experience to look more complete, and then handed over to the deputy minister. That's really not the idea that the intern came up with, because the team leader will make some changes anyway, regardless of whether the changes are substantive or not.
As long as a PR case is passed, Tianen Group can sign her "excellent intern". Her resume will include "several mature and successful PR cases in middle school", and this resume will allow her to easily enter Tian'en University as a special admission. Her own studies will not be bad, and she can be promoted to graduate school.
From this time on, Dodgson will arrange for her to officially work in the public relations department. She was about twenty-three years old at this time, and she only needed to attend classes at school normally and come to the company every day to check in and sign in. At this time, she is no longer an intern, and if there are other public relations cases in the middle, her name will naturally be signed.
After graduating from graduate school, she can continue to study for a PhD or go straight back to the company. At this time, she is also a fresh graduate and has many years of excellent work experience, so she can directly become a team leader or deputy team leader when she lands, and she already has rich work experience, and she will definitely not mess things up. At this point, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to deputy minister.
If there is no person far better than her in the same department, this position will already be stable - if he is black-hearted, he can also let him have an accident to avoid accidents.
In this way, she could be promoted to deputy minister as early as the age of thirty.
If there were no other departments with particularly good people who could break the rules and become the new president, she would have been promoted to group president in her thirties by the time she first promoted her deputy minister, who is now the minister and president, retired or promoted to director. That being the case, it is not impossible to become a director.
By any standard, it's a full, flawless and shining life.
As long as she obeys her father's arrangement, there will be no chaos in the whole process, and she will definitely be able to fall into the position of deputy director of public relations in the end.
Everything is in accordance with the rules. Reasonable, legitimate.
The real problem is that others are not favored by the rules...... It seems that she is the only "player" who is really promoted according to the rules, and the other employees are just NPCs.
When Kasumi had a vague insight into her future, she was disgusted by this rule.
But she couldn't say anything, and she couldn't speak out against anything.
After all, it was the path that her father had tried his best to find for her...... That was indeed love for her.
She herself has a vested interest and has no power to be pretentious.
She claims that she has an idol dream, but in fact it is just a pretext to deal with her father.
She didn't have a clear desire and didn't know what she wanted to do. I just instinctively didn't want to do it.
Therefore, when she heard that she had a cousin who had graduated from a high-achieving student who was coming to Happiness Island, Xia was relieved.
At least the resources that my father has accumulated in the company can be given to another person...... That way, he wouldn't be complaining to himself every day.
She had no intention of changing anything, as long as it wasn't herself—as long as she couldn't see it.
But she was shocked by the other party's cold-blooded ruthlessness: he actually sent his cousin to the executive department!
That's a living meat grinder!
Every year, more than 60 people die, and many more are maimed.
He even became a "hero"!
What is a hero?
That's the white gloves of the directors, the front desk agents of the directors, the marionettes of the directors!
Accumulate prestige resources through emergencies and operations, and then use these resources to say what directors want to say but can't, and do what directors want to do but can't.
In the end, the hero is reprimanded, attacked, and dies under a curse ten times greater than the cult accepted, but no one pays attention to the director behind the "hero".
She was so disappointed in Dodkison.
It was my aunt's only son, and Mr. Dodgerson's only blood relative besides herself.
But did he just watch his brother fall into the quagmire and get into the chaos without going to the rescue?
Just hold on to that resource and feed it to yourself.
- Such a gentle person has now become so cold-blooded.
This proves her point of view - this company's top management, it doesn't matter.
There was nothing she could do, and there was nothing she could resist.
Then run away.
Just give that precious opportunity to someone more talented.
Rather die a heroic death, Kasumi would never want to witness her corrupted future.
