Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm
Xu Zinan obeyed his father's arrangement to give Wang Xianlin a hand in the company, and did it for almost a month, and participated in no less than ten important meetings, as well as the morning meeting held by the company's senior management almost once a day, and gradually he became familiar with the company, and also had a systematic understanding of many things in the company, which is considered a qualified company management, of course, this is mainly because he is Xu Ming'an's son, and his colleagues almost all know him, and they also know that the chairman's son comes to the company for internship. They all behaved respectfully, for fear of being beaten up in the back.
"Vice Chairman Xu, here is last month's purchase list, you can take a look, if there is no problem, I will take it out and sign it for Vice Director Wang." A person from the purchasing department came into the office and respectfully handed Xu Zinan a piece of information.
This identity was given to him by Xu Ming'an a few days ago, but the specific decision has not yet fallen on him, and it is still up to Wang Xianlin and Xu Ming'an to make the decision.
Xu Zinan took the list and read it carefully.
After looking at it carefully for about ten minutes, he frowned, and then looked up at the person standing in front of him. He stood here for more than ten minutes, and he seemed a little uneasy at the moment - the usual purchase list meant to go through the motions, where would he be as serious as this Vice Chairman Xu.
Seeing Xu Zinan's somewhat serious expression, he was even more nervous.
"How can there be so many office supplies purchased by the company and the company purchased here, it stands to reason that the company's recent business is in the off-season, shouldn't the office consumables be the lowest, how can you get here is almost the highest in the year?"
"Xu Dong, do you know, the company has recently sent several teams, all need to buy a new batch of office supplies, and we also need to stock up on more goods in the new year, we are old customers with those purchasers, and the more discounts we buy, there is also the new company needs to update a batch of printers recently, and the new printers will be more expensive." The man explained with a list of reasons.
Xu Zinan frowned, showing a suspicious look, and glanced at the man, who was already oozing some fine sweat on his forehead.
"You go down first, I'll go back and take this list and sign it for Wang Dong."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
As soon as the man left, Xu Zinan came to Wang Xianlin's office with his back foot, knocked on the door, pushed the door after getting permission, and saw Wang Xianlin chatting with Xu Ming'an.
"Dad, Uncle Wang, take a look at this purchase list."
Xu Ming'an and Wang Xianlin took the list, looked at it carefully, and both showed some expressions, but it was not too obvious.
"Zinan, do you suspect that this list is a false report?"
"Possibly. As far as I know, our office consumables have been the least in the previous ten months, but the consumables purchased in the list reported this time are almost the highest in the whole year. ”
Xu Zinan also told them some of the reasons listed by the man.
Wang Xianlin said: "We will indeed buy more consumables at the beginning of the year, and will also buy a new batch of printers, as for the paper, these are too detailed, I didn't ask carefully, but the new teams are sent to our original station, where there are sufficient resources to call, and there is no need to deduct from the company." ”
Xu Zinan thought for a while: "It seems that this person wants to trap him for not long after he joined the company, and he is not familiar with the company's specific business and the market that has been developed, so he took risks and took rebates." ”
Xu Ming'an fell into deep thought, turned his head to Wang Xianlin and said, "Xianlin, please take this list to the finance department and see how much the procurement department reports this month." ”
Wang Xianlin came back shortly after he went out, confirming Xu Zinan's speculation.
"It seems that the company has become bigger, and some people can't help but steal the sweetness" Wang Xianlin's face was a little ugly.
"Xianlin, you can watch and deal with it." Xu Mingan looked at Wang Xianlin and said, "He seems to have been recruited by you at the beginning, and it is appropriate for you to hand it over." ”
"Brother Xu, I will act impartially and never cause trouble to the company." After Wang Xianlin finished speaking, Tie Qing went out.
A few days later, news came out from the personnel department that the former head of the procurement department had resigned, and several cronies were leaving with him.
When the time came to the end of the year, the company took annual leave, and almost everyone went back.
Xu Zinan was finally able to sleep lazily, but at this time, Xu Mingan pushed open his door and walked in.
"Zinan, how has your relationship with An Ruo progressed recently?"
Xu Zinan replied in a daze: "What else can I do, I have been busy getting familiar with the company's affairs recently, and I rarely have time to meet." ”
"Zinan, look, I think after the first day of the new year, should we give An Ruo and them a New Year's greeting? It's good to promote your relationship, or you can confirm your relationship as a couple. Her dad and I are also friends, so it is also appropriate for the two families to move around a little more. ”
"Well, you decide." After Xu Zinan finished speaking, he continued to sleep.
Xu Ming'an got a satisfactory answer, a smile appeared on his face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were much smoother.
That night, Xu Zinan walked on the street, the street lamps were tied with flaming red Chinese knots, and the lintels of every household were pasted with couplets, welcoming the New Year, in the park, the sun lamps illuminated the square as bright as day, the park was full of parents with their children and a family out to play, several children in groups of three or five, wearing new clothes, running with balloons in their hands, there were kites, there were also playing with firecrackers, laughter, shouting, firecrackers...... The atmosphere of the New Year is not lively.
Xu Zinan sat aside, quietly watching a child happily chasing and playing with another child with a balloon, and the parents followed behind, babbling and telling to be careful, run slower, don't fall and so on, but where did the child care, just play carefree, immersed in the innocent world with his friends.
Xu Zinan was fascinated.
As the night deepened, the people in the park slowly dispersed and became sparse. Only in the corner were a few couples hugging and whispering, not knowing what to say, except for the occasional burst of happy laughter.
Xu Zinan gradually felt a chill on his body - it was time to go home. My mother and sister are not there, and this year's Chinese New Year seems a little deserted. Xu Zinan returned home, and Xu Mingan was watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.
"Dad, I'm back." Xu Zinan said hello to him.
"Well, what's the matter with you coming back so late, it's so cold, you're wearing a little less, be careful of freezing and catching a cold!" Xu Mingan looked at the thin clothes on his son's body and asked with concern.
"It's fine, just go out for a walk."
"We'll have to go see An Ruo in two days, it's not good to have a cold." Xu Ming'an said in a calm tone.
"Well, got it. Then it's okay, I'll go back to my room first. ”
"Aren't you going to watch the Spring Festival Gala? I think it's pretty good. ”
"I won't look at it, go back to the room to rest first, you should rest early, pay attention to your body." After Xu Zinan finished speaking, he went upstairs and went to sleep.
In his sleep, he dreamed of the girl again, still unable to see her face clearly, only a faint silhouette, wearing a long white dress, dancing lightly in the wind......
