Chapter Seventy-Four: Children Don't Know Each Other When They See Each Other
The eldest cousin is the section chief of the presiding department and must participate, except for the section chief of the production department and the purchasing department, only Scarface and the newly arrived general manager translator are staff members.
He and the two section chiefs of the production department and the four section chiefs of the purchasing department sat on the chairs on the periphery, and the other middle and senior managers were on the chairs next to the conference table.
At the beginning of the meeting, Minister Nakagawa of the Ministry of Finance made two polite words, and then the eldest cousin connected her laptop to the projector and began to tell the actual situation of the company in July.
When the eldest cousin was half-lying on his stomach and connected to the projector, Scarface saw the huge thick buttocks, and he was still a little excited in his heart, if this cauldron collapsed, it would definitely be cool, and it would be no problem to increase the horsepower to one hundred and eighteen.
But this kind of cranky thinking is only a matter of ten seconds, and it quickly shifts his attention to the face of the new translator and the general manager Nagano.
I have been listening to the male colleagues on the bus and Wang Zhen said that the new general manager translator is very beautiful, and Scarface has been to the office twice and has also passed by to glance at it, but he didn't look carefully, and he was embarrassed to stare at others.
This time, due to the angle, I can see it more clearly. It does look good, but the glasses are too strong, like a wine bottle.
The whole person looks relatively thin, estimated to be about 1.7 meters, and his weight will not exceed 100 catties. Looking at the face, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, and I can't remember it.
Recently, I've been lonely, and I feel like I know when I see a beautiful woman, but in addition to his good looks, there is actually not much attraction to him, in fact, in Scarface's eyes, it is better to look at the eldest cousin.
He noticed that when his eldest cousin was reporting, Nagano always raised his eyes to look at his eldest cousin from time to time, although each time it was brief, not more than three seconds or even less than a second.
But from his point of view, every time Nagano's gaze was raised, it should have fallen on his eldest cousin's chest. Nagano is more than 1.5 meters tall, and he is as thin as a monkey.
Sit in a tall chair with your back against your seat and your eyes on your notebook. Recorded a few times from time to time, and from Scarface's point of view, it is particularly comical that you can't see anything other than your arms and head.
Scarface thought dirty, if Nagano finds a woman like his eldest cousin, when the two of them collapse, Nagano's whole person can get in and out, and this night down is like being born non-stop, is this the pursuit of immortality?
If the eldest cousin prefers another pose, Nagano is like a monkey crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, with only its head and feet exposed, which is interesting to think about.
Thinking about that kind of funny scene, Scarface actually sat there and couldn't help but snicker.
"What are you laughing at?" Sitting next to him, Section Chief Liu of the Production Planning Section of the Production Department asked him in a low voice.
"Oh, nothing, it's funny to think of catching the bus in the morning." Scarface hurriedly retracted his thoughts and listened attentively to the report.
"This kind of meeting is a complete waste of everyone's time, and you will get tired of it after a few times." Section Chief Liu lowered his head and pretended to look at his notebook, and whispered to Scarface.
"Well, it's boring. It's your department's turn. At this time, the eldest cousin's report was over, and it was time for the production department, and he also reminded Section Chief Liu in a low voice.
The meeting lasted for an hour, and the main departments were all reported, like the quality department, in the meeting when it comes to money, it basically belongs to the irrelevant department, and it doesn't matter if you participate or not.
The real report should be Minister Lai's unified report, but Sasaki told the general manager that from this month onwards, Lu Sang will report separately to those who are admitted to the inspection department.
Everyone knows what it means, so there won't be any special expressions. After Minister Lai's report, the eldest cousin wanted to ask questions, and generally every department would be asked by the eldest cousin, so it was not a big deal.
But Sasaki said that he would ask questions after the report was over from the inspection section.
Scarface read the main content according to the information, and it was only two minutes to finish reading, and Sasaki motioned for the eldest cousin to ask questions.
The eldest cousin looked at Minister Lai and asked, "Minister Lai, since May, the quality department has been very different from the budget in terms of overtime pay and travel expenses, can you explain it in detail?"
You just analyzed that the surge in production since May has led to an increase in overtime, frequent quality problems, and the need to send people on business trips and outings, resulting in an increase in expenses, but you are not very clear about the countermeasures.
What does it mean to strictly control in the future, that is, it can still be controlled, but it has not been controlled yet, is it a problem of management? The same is true of the General Affairs and Personnel Department just now, and I will now submit it as well. ”
Although this matter is a trivial matter, the eldest cousin's question is very sharp.
Minister Lai replied: "It's not all management problems, but there are definitely things worth improving in our management, so we can find the reasons from ourselves first, find the problems and solve them in time, I think it can still be effective." ”
After the translator finished speaking, the eldest cousin glanced at Minister Nakagawa, and saw that Minister Nakagawa did not say anything, so he was ready to end the meeting.
At this time, Sasaki suddenly said: "Our Lu Sang was transferred from the finance class, and he should know more about financial knowledge. ”
Scarface knew that this was Sasaki testing him, and if he was right, it was to let him show his face among several middle and high-level players. If you don't say it right, you don't know what the impact is.
I guess it's not a big deal, I'm just an employee who hasn't passed the probation period, and it's normal not to understand the situation.
He was just about to stand up and say when Nagano waved his hand at him, meaning to let him sit down and speak, so Scarface sat up straight in his seat and said:
"I have only been in the company for two months, and I am not familiar with many situations, so I will only talk about what I think is a problem, and I hope that the leaders will give me more guidance."
Scarface paused, looking at Sasaki looking at him, Nagano motioned with his eyes to continue, seeing that only Minister Lai's face was not good-looking, and everyone else looked at his notebook.
So he continued: "I think the problem is mainly in the budget production stage, and the peak production period is from May to November every year.
If production increases during this period and personnel does not increase, overtime will naturally increase, and the same is true for travel expenses and expenses.
As for the countermeasures, I don't think there is any good way to solve the problem other than the measures that Minister Yori just said, and if we want to solve the problem, we can only change the method in the next fiscal budget.
It is not possible to average the figures for a year to each month, and the off-season and peak season need to be calculated separately. Nothing else."
After Scarface finished speaking, the others were still expressionless, and after more than ten seconds after the translator finished speaking, Sasaki snapped and applauded Scarface a few times.
Said: "Lu Sang deserves to understand finances, our budget does have such a problem, this is my responsibility, I accept Lu Sang's suggestion." ”
If it is in a state-owned enterprise or a public institution, hearing the leader say this, the future of Scarface will be bleak.
But that's the case with the Japanese, and when they say this, they're admitting their mistakes, and there's no hint of fraud.
Sasaki takes all the responsibility on himself, but everyone knows that this kind of simple work is done by the head of each section or the deputy director, and the minister sometimes doesn't look at it.
Scarface could feel that Minister Lai's face was not good-looking, and he didn't care, and now it seemed that he had been completely pushed to the opposite side of Minister Lai by Sasaki.
As Scarface spoke, he felt that Meng Yi's eyes had been looking at him, which was very strange.
After the meeting went out, he stood on the side of the quality department, and he also saw Meng Yi looking at him from time to time.
Is there another beautiful sister who is attracted to her charm, Scarface is joking with herself in her heart.
In short, he always felt that something was wrong with Meng Sang, it seemed that he had been holding back for the past few days, and he was about to become a nymphomaniac, and there was a woman who looked at him twice and felt that people were interesting to him.
I didn't dream of doing this, but I still think more about the benefits of my eldest cousin, and how energetic the big body is.
After getting off work, Scarface just got on the bus, Meng Yi also got on this bus, the company's shuttle bus is twelve, including twelve lines in the city, he usually has not seen Meng Yi sit in this car.
He was thinking that Meng Sang might have gone to a relative's house, and they sat next to him.
"Meng Sang is good, do you have a date or go to relatives?" Scarface also wants a beautiful sister to sit with him and say hello easily.
This is the first time that the two have spoken in such a long time since they have been in the company.
"Hmm. Go on a date, someone asks me out for dinner, will you go with you? Meng Sang also looked at Scarface and said with a smile. Then the two began to chat.
"Men and women will go, but men will not go."
"I eat with men, you eat with women, you don't want to go."
"Why is this relationship so messy, don't go if you spend money, go if you don't spend money."
"I don't have to spend money, you have to spend money."
"Then I'm not going."
"Really?"
"Really. If you want to introduce me to someone, you can do it. ”
"Forget it then."
"Where are you standing?"
"Wherever you go, I'll go."
"Hmm. What do you mean, it's like dating me, we just met, don't give me hatred, so many people in the company are staring at you, I don't want to be the target of the public. ”
"Are you still afraid of this? Aren't you pretty good at fighting? ”
"Huh? You feel like you know me. ”
"Lu Jiazheng, you really don't know me anymore?"
"I'd like to get to know each other, isn't this just the beginning?"
"I'm. People say that you are a very smart person, Yudong No. 3 Middle School, Brother Hao, remember? We all sent it to the bureau, remember? ”
"Meng Haijiao? It's really you, I saw you familiar when I had a meeting today, but I can't remember it, it's changed too much compared to the original. ”
"It's pretty, it's ugly."
"Of course it's pretty, it turned out to be a little fairy, and now it's a big fairy."
"As soon as I heard this, I didn't have a level, shouldn't I be invited to dinner?"
"That's a must."
……
Scarface didn't expect to meet the dream lover of his youth at this time, although he hasn't appeared in a dream for many years.
But at the beginning, he gave up Tsinghua University and Peking University, and one of the purposes of coming to Binhai University was to be able to meet this dream lover by chance.
Now for Meng Haijiao, Scarface doesn't have much thought for the time being, just treats it as an ordinary friend, because his aesthetics have changed now, and he doesn't like this kind of woman who is too thin.
In fact, his current physical needs are stronger than spiritual needs. To put it more bluntly, animal nature surpasses human nature. This is actually a kind of mental illness, but I don't know it.
The two got off the shuttle bus at six o'clock, found a nearby restaurant, and chatted while eating, chatting from junior high school to the present.
Before I knew it, it was already ten o'clock, and the hotel waiter came twice to ask what else they needed, but in fact, they were urging them to check out and leave, and neither of them realized it.
In the end, Meng Haijiao's phone rang, and it was the family who urged her to go home, only to know that it was already ten o'clock, Scarface hurriedly settled the account and took a taxi to send Meng Haijiao back.
Meng Haijiao's house is six or seven kilometers away from Scarface's home and belongs to two different districts. After Scarface came back after sending people back, it was past eleven o'clock to simply wash up.
Scarface was still in a state of excitement, and he really didn't expect the two to meet in this situation. What made Scarface even more strange was that tonight was not as uncomfortable as the previous days.
It seems that being able to find someone to talk to can indeed distract a lot of energy and make one's mind healthier.
Meng Haijiao did not repeat a grade after coming to Bincheng, and went directly to class with the graduating class of the third year of junior high school. Due to the gap in textbooks and education level, the high school entrance examination was not very ideal, and I went to a key high school in the district.
After entering high school, the difficulty of mathematics, physics and chemistry increased, and she soon fell behind, and chose liberal arts when it came to liberal arts. The college entrance examination performance was quite normal, and he was admitted to Bincheng Foreign Chinese College.
The school's admission score was 100 points lower than that of Binda in those years, and the gap may be even greater now.
However, the employment rate of this kind of professional school is very high, almost 100% employed, basically the treatment is not bad, and professionals are still relatively sought-after.
Meng Haijiao is also from the countryside, and her family has little knowledge. His brother had just graduated and was working at an oil-related research institute in the capital, and he was the most knowledgeable person in the family.
They often interacted with Arabs and knew that Arabic was scarce. Sometimes they have to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the outer courtyard of the capital to find an Arabic interpreter, and the salary is very high.
Meng Haijiao prefers to learn foreign languages, so I highly recommend her to learn Arabic. When I went to college, I realized that this lack of knowledge was really deadly.
There are four classes in four grades of Arabic in the outer courtyard, with a total of one hundred and eight students, including Meng Haijiao, a total of two women. In Meng Haijiao's words, there are three women in Liangshan, who are scarcer than dominatriks.
Because the demand for this small language itself is small, there are few people to learn, and the most important thing is that the status of women in Arab countries is very low, and women do not contact outsiders at all.
Therefore, the general company will not invite women to connect with Arabs, and boys are very sought-after after graduation, and it can be said that the supply exceeds demand. But the girls were more miserable, and both girls ended up looking for jobs with their majors.
Her senior sister was better, and she was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a civil servant, but not in Arabic but in English. The exam was for the Africa Division, and not many people applied for it that year.
The work was mainly to deal with some countries that were unstable at the time, and there was a certain degree of danger, so people who generally knew how to do it did not choose it.
It was also difficult for Meng Haijiao to find a job when she graduated, and she also wanted to follow the path of her senior sister, but she was not so lucky and did not get admitted in the end.
Although he speaks three foreign languages, Arabic is completely useless. The popularity of English has been too high in recent years, and basically, some people who graduated from college will do so.
The job opportunities of pure translation are also very slim, with some technical ones, and they are not competitive, and it is not easy to find transactional jobs.
Finally, before graduating, I finally used my Japanese to find a very small Japanese-funded company, worked for a year, and jumped to a company with Scarface.
In the first week of early September, Scarface and Meng Haijiao had dinner together, but before they could talk enough, a call from home came. Scarface only remembered after returning home, these two times, I haven't asked about people's personal situations, I must ask next time.
