A number of days passed, and when preparations for the April study tour had come to an end, the letter of complaint was finalized.

As He Yuxin expected, after a lengthy and complicated process of explanation, debriefing, hearing, and debate, the incident was finally characterized as an indiscreet personal ———— according to Erdmann. This was due to the fact that the Chinese employees of LS lacked understanding of the embassy's visa regulations, and the unauthorized private request caused distress to the visa officer. But this is not a deliberate work distraction, nor is it a work error. The solutions were: 1. Ask Evita to apologize in writing to Barzel and promise not to do it again in the future, and 2. Ask TH to strengthen the training and management of Chinese employees and report regularly to the State Economic Promotion Agency.

Erdmann also made a surprise announcement about the outcome of the case: in order to avoid similar incidents in the future, the Ministry of Economic Affairs decided to organize an annual business training for foreign employees because of the high impact of the incident. The training content includes but is not limited to the interpretation of the code of conduct of government representatives and the policies and regulations on attracting foreign investment, and will also introduce the coordination mechanism of relevant government departments as necessary.

After receiving the email, Yin Jie breathed a long sigh of relief. She has been very satisfied with such a result after worrying about it for so long.

As for the written apology to Barzel, she quickly drafted a sincere apology letter, sent it to Ning Haoran and sent it to Barzel, and at the same time copied the head of the embassy's visa section, Alan, Ning Haoran, and Erdmann. In the email, he sincerely apologized for the trouble caused Barzel by his carelessness, and promised to study the relevant regulations carefully in the future and never repeat them.

The turmoil caused by himself brought a lot of trouble to Ning Haoran and Erdmann. Erdmann, in particular, devoted a great deal of time and effort to the successful resolution of the incident. Yin Jie called and asked his college classmates in Hangzhou to help him buy high-quality Longjing before the rain, and planned to give it to Ning Haoran as a gift. She also asked her friend Lin Shuyun, who specializes in mahogany business, to buy an 18-son Huanghuali bracelet for her, and planned to give it to Erdmann when she accompanied the business delegation to country S in April. After all, the old gentleman is almost 60 years old, and long-term wearing of Huanghuali has the effect of relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, and it is also beneficial to sleep.

When the dust settled, Yin Jie began to reflect on this incident.

The cause of the incident was Qi Runxin. Qi Runxin expressed his willingness to invest in country S several times, hinting that if he reached a cooperation with the antique furniture dealer in country S, he would have enough reasons to persuade his father (the chairman of the company) to set up a regional headquarters in Haosen Prefecture. I was struck by this statement. In retrospect, even if this had come true, would it have been possible to abandon one's own code of conduct at will? Haven't you always been proud of knowing how to stick to your principles?

Even though Barzel deliberately set it up, even though he did not understand the 'visa/business separation principle', he was really innocent in the incident? LS was not the inviter of Shenghe Furniture's visit, and he did not have the right to ask about the progress of this visa. Knowingly, he actually called to inquire about the visa situation, and asked Barzel to help promote it! Why did he do such a violation of the rules?

Violating regulations means risk. Even if there are attractive results ahead, it is common sense to eliminate the risks first, rather than ignore them and move forward. Even if you can't solve it for the time being, you should ask your peers for help, why not ask Erdmann and Ning Haoran for help? When it comes to promoting investment, they have the same goals and interests as themselves!

Why blindly trust Barzel? Before that, the two had only met twice, and the actual exchange had been less than an hour.

She repeatedly analyzed her heart, and finally understood after careful study: after the Nanjing meeting, she became fluttering, and in this incident, she thoroughly experienced Lin Quan's problems:

Qi Runxin made a request, he refused at first, and then promised to help under persuasion, in addition to overestimating his own ability, isn't it excessive empathy?

Knowing that there is a risk and not being able to solve it, but not reporting it, is it not a misjudgment of responsibility and authority?

Because LS colleagues can be trusted to follow the rules, it is blindly inferred that Barzel is also trustworthy. This is precisely the most paradoxical point, how can it be possible to help if he is willing to help, and if he is willing to help, it is to break the rules, so why should it be trusted?

Yin Jie doubted his own judgment. Blinded by such a level of temptation, he forgot the important rules of behavior:

Always stand on the moral high ground to grasp the direction of events.

Qi Runxin's request was not compliant, and his request to Barzel was naturally untenable. No matter what temptations are faced, the danger cannot be eliminated and should not continue.

Seeing that Yin Jie was holding a cup of tea and thinking about it, He Yuxin patted her gently:

"What do you think?"

Yin Jie came back to his senses and said his reflection. Today is the weekend, and the two are sitting in the small courtyard enjoying the sunshine they have not seen for a long time.

He Yuxin thought about it and said to Yin Jie:

"You have a point, but I think there's something missing. ”

"What's missing?" Yin Jie raised his eyebrows.

"Consideration of humanity. He Yuxin said.

Yin Jie was stunned.

Humanity, that's right!

When Qi Runxin tried his best to ask for help, did he think about what kind of person he was? He explained to him the visa time and the rules of inquiry, but he still used the project temptation to force himself to do an inopportune thing. Forcing others to make mistakes, such people... If you think about it from a human point of view, you will refuse.

So when he asked Barzel for help, did he see himself that way? But he didn't refuse...

"You can't complain about Barzel. Although he took the opportunity to set up a trap, you took the initiative to send it to the door and let him calculate. You complain about why he's using you, and why doesn't he take advantage of it? There's no bond of trust between you. You're just strangers you've met twice. ”

"yes, I don't know why he wanted to deal with Erdmann, but I offered to give him the opportunity, not in vain. Yin Jie smiled self-deprecatingly.

"The point is that if you ignore human judgment, you will be blind. You wishfully put him in the realm of colleagues/friends who have a common interest, and you challenge his credibility with something you know is not compliant. That's a big mistake. Even if you are a friend who is mutually recognized, it is dangerous to test your humanity. ”

He Yuxin said seriously: "The whole incident is divided by receiving that email, and you ignored the judgment of human nature in the previous period and put yourself in a very troublesome passive situation. But the latter part of the performance is not bad, the response is alert enough, and the handling is appropriate. ”

"Indeed, although Ning Haoran startled me that day, he and Erdmann gave me a lot of support in this matter. ”

He Yuxin sneered: "This is going to talk about Ning Haoran." I've seen a lot of people like this, the most selfish, and maybe a little sadistic. You'd better be careful in the near future, or he'll definitely find an opportunity to beat you up until you're subdued!"

"Why? It's not necessary?"

"Didn't you have a department manager who was scolded by him and ran away? Later, he reported Ning?"

"Well, Alex, the manager of the show. Quite capable. ”

"Can't you see that? Why is Christina willing to stay even though he has no commercial value? Why is Alex scolded by him when he is very capable?"

"Alex seems to have made a mistake this time, and maybe he has a problem. ”

He Yuxin couldn't help laughing: "My Yin Jie is really naïve! I'll tell you why." Ning Haoran, he likes minions! This is the answer. He Yuxin continued, "Don't you say that he likes to be served by others, and he often speaks very harshly to employees? Alex is very capable, and once he makes a mistake, it is Ning Haoran's opportunity." He will seize the opportunity to humiliate him and suppress him out of servility before he can use it with confidence. However, this time it was obvious that he was pushing too hard, and he should have wanted to keep Alex. ”

It was like a thunderbolt hitting Yin Jie's head. She remembered that look clearly...

What kind of look was that, indescribable, indescribable, indescribable, just that look made Yin Jie almost forget who the person opposite was, that kind of suppression, contempt, disgust、...

She couldn't help but tremble.

He Yuxin reached out and hugged Yin Jie into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead and eyes gently. He regretted it a little.

"Honey, we're not afraid. Heh, this kind of person is actually not difficult to deal with. ”

Yin Jie raised his head, and there was still fear in his eyes.

"What's the method?Husband, am I useless?I..."

He Yuxin kissed her lips for a long time before smiling and saying:

"How could you be useless? You're so capable, how many people can do it?"

Without waiting for Yin Jie to speak, he continued:

"You're just too well protected by your parents and brothers, and you've encountered too few ugliness along the way, so you don't know how to deal with it. Now you have me, I'll teach you, and you're a fast learner, aren't you?"

Yin Jie nodded. He Yuxin went on to say:

"People like Ning Haoran are easy to deal with. He cares most about career and wealth, and then "enjoyment". You've always been good at the best way to deal with him, think about it?"

Yin Jie looked at He Yuxin suspiciously. He Yuxin couldn't help but laugh:

"The best way to deal with him is to make a 'unique value'. You first understand what he wants, for example, a long-term contract with LS, and then turn yourself into the only person recognized by LS. ”

"Your constant reporting and communication practices are very good, and you must stick to them. Listen to his advice when encountering problems, especially those with potential risks, and try not to make mistakes, so that he does not have the opportunity to be too aggressive with you. ”

He stretched out his hand to pluck a leaf that fell on Yin Jie's hair, and said softly: "Explain the benefits of setting up a presence in China to the people of the LS team, be subtle, once they set up a subsidiary in China, you will naturally leave Ning's." Compared with Ning Haoran, Erdmann is easier to understand and easier to get along with from the human level. He has a lust for power and money, but his words and deeds abide by the norms of behavior of European countries. Therefore, when dealing with him, you must strictly abide by the rules of business. Don't try to get emotionally close to him, unless he retires and leaves, there may be a conflict of interest between you at any time. ”

"Will Ning Haoran not let me go when the time comes?"

"That's the matter between Erdmann and Ning Haoran, it's too early to think about it. ”

"Hmm. She nodded slowly.
