After the National Day holiday, Yin Jie began to work at LS. Unlike other office workers' chagrin of "oh my God, life flies so fast", she was so excited that she almost flew when she set off for the company. Maybe she's really working hard and has never tried to rest at home for so long. The last few days of the National Day holiday not only cannot be called rest for her, but the lackluster leisure is tantamount to torture.

With a difference of 9 points and 10 minutes, Yin Jie walked out of the elevator on time and knocked on the door.

Rong Chang answered the door again, smiled gently and brought Yin Jie to the table by the window, and said with a smile: "You can sit here in the future." She pointed to the girl across from her and said, "This is Christina, she was in charge of LS business for a while before you came." Now that you're here, this piece of work is your boss, and she works with you. ”

Christina is the girl who impressed Yin Jie on the phone when he came to the interview last time. She smiled a little shyly and shook Yin Jie's hand and said welcome.

Looking at the two of them and saying a few words of greeting, Rong Chang then introduced himself with a long face:

"My name is Bella and I'm in charge of the company's administration and human resources. You can always come to me if you have any questions in the future. ”

She shook hands with Yin Jie politely, then opened the folder in her hand and handed it over, saying:

"I've already helped you get the office supplies and put them on the table, and you sign them here. Pack it up first, and I'll introduce you to other colleagues in a quarter of an hour. ”

With that, she left.

This attitude ,... ...

Yin Jie sighed in his heart and began to take things out from the back of his shoulders. Girls' things are always very bits and pieces, lily of the valley wet wipes, orchid bone china cups, vermilion lacquer tea cans, splendid pencil cases, and a small makeup bag with lipstick, powder, eyebrow pencil, and a small mirror. Yin Jie originally wanted to bring a mirror on the table, but he didn't know the new company's regulations on the placement of table items, so he brought a small target lens today.

As soon as she had sorted out her bits and office supplies, Bella walked over.

"Come, Evita, I'll introduce you to a colleague!"

There were 10 colleagues in this office, and they were all already working when Yin Jie entered the room. Bella slapped loudly and said loudly in an enthusiastic voice, "Come here, welcome new colleagues!"

There are 4 male colleagues in the big office, they are Steven, the manager of the marketing department, George, the marketing specialist, Jack, the manager of the planning department, and Alex, the manager of the first show. Steven is tall but dark-skinned, and he always comes back from studying in Germany with a smile that looks like it's not a smile. The female colleagues are Cherry, marketing specialist, Cloe, artistic director, Anna, performance specialist, Elle, planning specialist, and Christina, whom she just met. Among them, Yin Jie was most impressed by Cloe, who was short haired and tall, with a smile on his face. Although this is a lady, her all-round style makes Yin Jie stiffly associate her with "dignified".

It is a commercial and residential apartment with four rooms in addition to the large office, lined up along the sides of the hallway. The last time I went to the room at the top of the corridor was Ning Haoran's office. Next to him is a 10-square-meter finance/personnel room, with three desks on the opposite side, a tall iron filing cabinet along the wall, and a safe in the corner. The finance manager's name is Nina, and she happens to be out on an errand. Linda, the cashier, is a very thin and skinny girl, almost a little out of shape, but her eyes are very smart, and she looks like a smart person. Bella is also in this office.

Next door to the finance room is a relatively large room. Bella said it was the room of "Mr. Gao", the company's senior consultant. The big room opposite is a conference room, with a long conference table and two circles of swivel chairs, which can seat about 30 people. It is equipped with hanging projectors, conference telephones, and several pots of large-leaved plants.

Bella took Yin Jie downstairs and ran away. Downstairs is another set of commercial and residential offices of Ning's, the room layout is basically the same as that upstairs, but there are more colleagues working downstairs and more crowded.

After greeting her colleagues, Yin Jie returned to her seat and sorted the second batch of materials that Bella handed over to her. Then I turned on my computer and began to study the company's "Employee Handbook" very solemnly.

Yin Jie has never overlooked the importance of the Employee Handbook. This is the internal personnel system management norm of the enterprise, covering all aspects of the internal control of the enterprise, and is the code of conduct of both labor and management. In addition to the corporate vision, mission, and structure, the Employee Handbook also includes key information such as training and development, hiring, appraisal, promotion, salary, benefits, administration, and working hours. To put it bluntly, this is the guide to action for every employee within the company. Newcomers who are unfamiliar with the Manual usually do not walk in the big folds as long as they follow the Manual. On the other hand, if we do not pay attention to the provisions, we will inevitably stumble between actions and encounter various obstacles. If you are not repentant, when you receive a notice of dismissal one day in the future, you may be shocked to find that the reason (excuse) comes from this manual, which is justified and irrefutable.

Based on Zhao Min'er's kind reminder, Yin Jie added 120,000 caution to this.

After spending nearly an hour reading and pondering, Yin Jie secretly exhaled, and gently lowered the little heart he lifted. This employee handbook is decent, with no hidden information and no additional harsh rules.

The company she joined is called "Ning's Planning", and the LS business is just one of the company's agency businesses. The company's main business is to plan and organize international cultural exchange activities, which is to plan and organize well-known foreign orchestras to tour in China, and also organize local Chinese orchestras to tour abroad. Yin Jie looked through the company's previous activity directory, which listed the events of world-renowned orchestras such as the Austrian National Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Italian Orchestra Moderne, and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. Yin Jie has been fond of classical music since childhood, and in Chinese classical music, she loves such pictorial guqin music as "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water", while in European classical music she loves Mozart and Schubert. Of course, He Yuxin's father, her father-in-law, is also a super lover of European classical music.

"Well, there's a chance to go to a concert for free. ”

She thought happily.

Lunch was eaten by Bella with her at a nearby dumpling restaurant. According to Bella, LS foreigners love it.

Yin Jie's more than 20 years of experience in eating dumplings is sublimated here: it's not that the dumplings are strangely shaped, but that the dumpling filling here gives full play to the whimsy of the main kitchen staff. For the first time, she had heard that dumpling fillings could be debauched to such a state, such as green pepper potatoes, tomato eggs, red oil pork liver... 's strange connotation shocked Yin Jie terribly. She finally bravely challenged the sauerkraut pork filling. This chicken sauerkraut from the Northeast is not the same as the pickles in her hometown, but the taste should not be much worse. The truth is much better than you think, the taste of this filling is unexpectedly delicious.

After lunch, Yin Jie beckoned Christina to the conference room for her first department meeting. At present, there are only two of them in the LS business department, although people from other departments can be invited to help temporarily during the specific implementation of the project, Yin Jie still plans to build a stable and efficient LS core team first. She is a newcomer, and she has a lot of respect for Christina, who has been serving LS for a while, although her ability may be lacking (or why Yin Jie was recruited), but after all, after specific practice, she should have a personal experience of the LS project itself and the LS headquarters team, and Yin Jie expects her to make an introduction to this. In addition, she also wanted to know the general situation of this person from Christina's introduction, and see what position she would be more suitable for use in the future.

She kindly asked Christina to tell us about the background and work of LS, especially the marketing strategy that had been adopted so far and the feedback from LS headquarters.

The exchange was unexpectedly difficult. In the face of problems, Christina always chooses to avoid them tactfully, and has the style of a martial arts master's "four or two thousand catties", which makes Yin Jie extremely unhappy. After an awkward conversation, she found out that Christina was actually an alumnus of her university, graduated from the Department of International Finance two years higher than her, and after graduation, she went to the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom to study for three years at her own expense, where she met her husband Tony, and married after living together for several years and returning to China. Talking about the Weiming Lake of Wuhan University and the osmanthus flowers secretly picked by the lake in the summer, the relationship between the two has finally become closer.

While trying his best to avoid answering questions directly, he still faced Yin Jie with a particularly sincere expression, which made Yin Jie have a strange sense of dissonance with Christina. She turned around and asked again:

"Hear Bella, you've been in charge of the LS project before?"

"Yes, but not very well. Now you're here. Listen to Mr. Ning, you have worked in the government for a long time before?"

Yin Jie didn't mind answering such a question, but he already hated the other party's dodging.

"It's not doing well? What's going on?"

"Nothing, I tried my best. Maybe it's not enough talent. It would be nice to have you as the leader in the future. ”

Yin Jie smiled and said very bluntly:

"The main reason for our meeting today is to find you to understand the situation. I want you to speak freely, everything is for work, without any scruples. Now tell me about your experience with this project?"

"The Swiss are very... Conscientious. Christina had to say, but seemed hesitant.

"How?"

"They have a special attention to detail, a special attention. ”

"It's nice to pay attention to details, and it should help you at work. ”

didn't expect Yin Jie to be so out of rhythm, Christina finally couldn't help it.

"Moderate emphasis is good, but too... It may affect the work. ”

"How big is the impact? For example?" Yin Jie stirred again. She really doesn't like this kind of chatting method that is fragmented, vague, and always plausible to guide people's divergent thinking. Now that she is her supervisor after all, she can only be stupid if she does this for no other purpose. Fear of responsibility? Is it true that everything is fine if you are vague?

For business people, unclear expression is a fatal flaw, even if you can't express it, no one can know. It would be even more foolish to deliberately be vague for fear of responsibility and not to leave a handle on the matter. It is tantamount to telling the new leader in a clear way, "Hey, I don't want to talk to you, and I don't want to help you!" In this case, the leader is not your parent, so what obligation does he have to tolerate you and treat you well in the future?

Besides, if the lack of clarity leads to misunderstanding and even disputes, you are the source of information, who wants to leave you a chance to explain? In this way, the most optimistic outcome is to be labeled as "lack of expression ability", a pessimistic ending.......

In fact, why bother? Yin Jie sighed in his heart, introducing the situation in a realistic manner can not only help the new leader understand the situation, but also show his upright character, why not? The language is so magical, just add a sentence "These are my personal experiences and views for your reference," and you can not only fulfill your duties but also remove your responsibilities. Why not?

Yin Jie continued to encourage her to continue.

"For example, a PPT, what color to use, color system, graphic size, position, text size, color, what position to use what font... ,All of them are very rigid.,The audit is also very strict.,If there's a little discrepancy, you have to call it back and redo it.。 These are just a few of them, and I'm just giving examples. But is it really good to put too much energy on this? ”

"In other words, have you ever been in this situation because the Swiss team is strict about these details, which takes up too much of your time and affects your productivity?"

"Let's just say that. Christina choked, then breathed a sigh of relief. She also mentioned this matter to Lao Ning, and it was not a big deal.

"In addition to this, is there any other reason why you said that the LS project is not progressing well? I have read the work evaluation of LS, and found that among the KPI assessment items, the regional seminar has the lowest score in China: the number of customer visits has met the demand, but the number of customer visits is very small, and there is not a single customer visit to country S. What is the reason for this?"

"Country S is too small!" Christina finally began to complain. "Such a small country is divided into so many states, and each state may be more than an administrative region that is not God's capital! In fact, each state is also divided into cities, districts, towns, and villages! Not only is there little encouragement and weak strength, but also investment immigration is not allowed! You know, without investment immigration, which boss is willing to invest money in a place where he is not familiar with his life? Helping others create jobs in vain? There is no such Lei Feng now. ”

"What are your main work targets, and what industries do you belong to?

Christina blushed a little.

"I mainly work with companies in the fields of tourism, finance, and education. Mainly visit the heads of their overseas departments, basically senior managers, and a few times as directors. ”

She said loudly as if arguing: "I chose the tourism, finance, and education industries because these industries are the most developed in country S. If there are underdeveloped industries, what can Chinese enterprises gain by investing there, and what lessons can they learn?"

"How do you get these business profiles?"

"Most through large conferences. Mr. Ning will secure opportunities for us to participate in some high-level meetings. You can get to know a lot of people through meetings. ”

"Who keeps the business cards of the executives you've visited? I'd like to know. ”

"It's all Bella's. If you ask her for it, she will give it. ”

Yin Jie supported his forehead. Now the general situation is clear, the reason why LS is not doing well is because of various miscalculations, first the work concept is wrong, then the main target is wrong, and finally the work method is also wrong. After making so many mistakes of principle, LS actually tolerated it for a year, and was willing to give it another year? LS is really tolerant.

"I won't have any major changes in my work schedule, right? In fact, after a year, I still have a little bit of experience in this job. She was a little apprehensive, and then said with a hint of flattery, "Don't worry, I will definitely actively cooperate with your work." We're alumni. ”

Yin Jie was no longer interested in learning more about her experience. Smile and say:

"I plan to hire two or three more people for the position of project manager or project assistant. You may still be in this team, it depends on Mr. Ning's arrangement, and I will discuss it with him later. ”

To her surprise, Christina visibly relaxed.

Yin Jie packed up his things and got up, and the two walked out of the conference room side by side.

... ...

After getting off work, Yin Jie struggled with all his strength to squeeze into the subway home. It's so bad to have only one car at home, and her husband works near the airport and the transportation is inconvenient, so she has to squeeze the subway every day.

Standing in the swaying subway, she silently reviewed what she had seen today:

Bella's performance goes far beyond the scope of administration and manpower, is it a relative of Mr. Ning?

Who is Mr. Gao?

Why did you choose Christina to do LS business?Why didn't anyone correct her for more than a year?Should LS have done project training?If it was her personal problem, what was Mr. Ning's plan to keep her on the team?

How do you collaborate with the LS HQ team?

All in all, Erdmann's style of doing things left a very deep impression on Yin Jie.
