Chapter 100
Chapter 103:
The news that Jocelyn and I had a “kind meeting” spread like wildfire, and when I went to the company the next morning, many people already knew it.
In short, this is still a good favor she gave me.
I usually listen to podcasts on the way to and from get off work. I am too busy and have limited charging channels. I need to grasp every minute. But on the way home yesterday, I couldn’t hear a word, so I couldn’t understand it. Secondly, I thought, what kind of person is Jocelyn, the big boss has spoken, but she took me to the reception area, and there must be a purpose behind it.
Let’s take a look at the invisible and quietly changing corporate atmosphere…
This is the intention.
Seeing that everything went well, I decided to strike while the iron was hot, so I asked Xiao Chen to go up to the 20th floor and passively blow the air on the BCG side. He is getting better and better at this now. I can tell you three sentences with one sentence. Although he is a little bit wise, he is willing to use his brain, and it can come in handy.
This is so, the burden on my shoulders, I did not feel any relief.
The shortage of manpower is a fact. This phenomenon did not happen suddenly after leaving the boss. The company expanded too fast, and the new territory expanded one by one. It didn’t take long for us to settle in Brazil. Nowadays, the situation is special and catastrophe is imminent. The big bosses are still thinking about expanding the American market. .
Companies that have survived the winter of capital must have never expected the “black swan” that broke out at the end of last year and profoundly affected global development; and we, HC remains unchanged, and salary adjustments are as usual. It is said that there is no shortage of people. Several candidates interviewed this year are obviously over-qualified; originally our headquarter staff replenishment was aimed at Asia. Since May, there are occasional candidates with American work experience who enter the final round from the internal referral channel. test.
Of course, with regard to salary negotiation, colleagues who have their own HR worry about it.
I’ll just take care of my troops.
It is no longer the darkest time now. Whether there is something darker than the darkest, I don’t know: the one that cannot be predicted is called the “black swan”.
I was just thinking…
“Isn’t there an interview? The only thing we need to wait for is notification?” Old Huang looked at me with a puzzled look.
“After all, it’s a temporary agent, so I can’t talk about a formal appointment.” I shrugged, “One word from the big boss.”
I’m just thinking about how Kevin will react when he hears the news. Will his arrogance really curb? Or, can I optimistically wait for an essence that belongs to him outside the strong and the middle?
At the meeting on Thursday, the show opened.
I don’t know if it’s not a big deal to watch the excitement, but Huang Xiuwen temporarily replaced the post of Director of the Asian Department. She unexpectedly chose to announce it at a meeting with BCG. Because the atmosphere was not right, I had a hunch before she spoke, but until the voice fell, I was still a little unbelievable.
This is killing three birds with one stone, and demonstrating to BCG in disguise?
There are still many executives present today. On our side, the COO and CTO are also there, and Miss Pan De is also there. The degree of surprise expressed by each person is different, but it has nothing to do with the pre-confiscation of the news. I think there are only a few people who knew about the matter beforehand. It’s nothing more than Miss Pan De and our COO are more able to perform, and the CTO disdains-or may not be good at-to cover up.
I have been planning this chess game for a long time, and the expression on my face at this moment is naturally the most suitable expression.
The mask covers most of my face, but the remaining half is enough to explain everything. I pressed my lips tightly and stared at the desktop, anyone who looked at it would know that I was very dissatisfied.
Kevin is quite different. He has always been good at acting as a gentleman. At this time, he is handsome, like a actor who was nominated for a big hit but was locked in a lot of shots but eventually missed the trophy.
In the empty conference room, sparse congratulations sounded, and Sanjay’s attitude was the most sincere.
Participants in the two departments had different expressions in their hearts.
Miss Pande stared at me for a while without a trace. In the eyes of outsiders, it may be quietly reminding me of my gaffe.
What does Kevin think?
Our eyes met inadvertently. He didn’t evade immediately, and he nodded slightly, seemingly meaningful.
I felt relieved.
got windy.
The resource integration project has completely entered the later stage, and there is no way to hide things. There have been private rumors about the company’s splitting up. This is in the hands of the BCG side, they wish it would become an open secret.
What is meant by “the wheels of history roll forward”? No one knows better than the Singaporeans who took advantage of the situation. The technical department that had previously shown a total rejection of the mega-team model, now has an attitude of heaven and earth.
There is one less one who made broken glass and road studs, and now only the Vietnam project team is left.
But I dared not feel fortunate for my advance arrangements. If it is a month soon, it will be delayed for less than two months at the latest. As long as they get all the data, they will soon discover flaws in Vietnamese affairs. But how long this blind technique can last doesn’t entirely depend on me…
Faced with more and more troubles, Xiaoding, who listens to my instructions and works here as a man, can only be able to maintain his balance.
There is no chance of victory in sight. On the one hand, I persuaded myself and tried to lose decently, so as to prepare for the future role of the “nail” of the subsidiary company; on the other hand, I was waiting.
What are you waiting for?
Is there any way out in such a dead end?
After the meeting, Kevin came to me.
His attitude was quite right, as if we were originally close comrades who shared the joys and sorrows, and what happened in the past period of time was nothing but vain.
On the bright side, it is certain that his repressive behavior for the pleasure of commanding me will become history-temporarily.
If luck is on our side, don’t say who the CEO of the subsidiary is, at least it won’t be him. And as long as it’s not him…
We still have to compete.
“What can I do for you?” I said. I leaned on the glass door of the conference room, not planning to take a seat, and I even thought that I might open the door and leave at any time.
Kevin looked at me: “You look like, uh, confused?”
“I am very confused.”
“Maybe your direction needs some adjustment.” He pulled a chair in front of him and asked me to sit down, “If I were you, Yao, the place I want to bother to think about should be this appointment. Why big? The boss will choose Xiuwen, why there is no question or hint beforehand—not because I am confused. We are on the same side.”
I did not decline, but took a seat openly: “Are we on the same side?”
“At least I am obviously harmless,” he paused, adding, “for now.”
“Interesting.” I looked at him and didn’t say much, but his expression was a little lonely. “I didn’t see what qualities I had to make a contribution to you.”
Kevin shook his head: “No, no, don’t say that. As a colleague, I admire you very much. I want to be a real co-worker with you. It shouldn’t be that difficult to understand.”
I kept calm: “What kind of co-workers?”
He might have laughed for a moment after hearing what I said. The mask concealed most of Kevin’s expression, and it was hard to tell whether those eyes expressed kindness or sarcasm. He went on to say: “I have an attractive invitation for you. When will you be free this week?”
“I’m very busy. You may have heard about it in the past half a month, Kevin—I took over almost all the projects that Rudra was responsible for.” I responded ironically. He has been our boss for a while, so he should have a basic awareness of my workload.
Kevin raised his eyebrows slightly, as if finally reading from my conservativeness and respectfulness for a while. But he was not angry at my frank rejection, and he seemed confident when he opened his mouth: “You will be interested. My suggestion is that you take the time to talk to me.”
I stood up: “It sounds like, you don’t plan to say it in the company?”
No matter what kind of bamboo he has grown in his heart, whether the bamboo is loose or not, come and break one by one. If he doesn’t break one by one to pave the way, I will definitely end up with nowhere to go.
Kevin obviously didn’t expect my attitude to be so determined, a little flustered, but immediately returned to business as usual, worthy of him. It’s just that he also stood up with me and said sincerely: “Can you allow me to have a little privacy outside of my business?”
I squinted my eyes. What new position is this to talk to me?
Is he going to quit?
I couldn’t help being amused by my cranky thoughts. I stood still and tried to say gently, “I’m not saying’no’, Kevin. I’m really busy. I’m almost living in the company during this time. It’s already the weekend. All the arrangements are full… I’m sorry I can’t spare time to meet with you.”
“I can understand—” Kevin looked at me with a pressure in his eyes, “and you still meet with Sonia every week. This shows me some room for time management.”
I don’t look at it.
what happened? Miss Pan De told him?
Is it used to beat him? Or is there any other possibility?
“Listen, I’m not interested in this,” Kevin said right away, “but it is out of respect for your precious time that I gave you such a direct attitude with respect. We both know each other. Carrying on… some extra tasks, no matter what promise you get from her, I would say that my invitation is more attractive than that-and it’s not just a bait.”
This is the first time we have mentioned the employment of BCG directly.
His words are really too straightforward: Is this Kevin’s sincerity?
Seeing me looking over, Kevin didn’t move forward. He seems to have realized that my attitude is irreversible, but contrary to my estimation, Kevin has become more determined.
He still had his gentleman side, he didn’t insist on asking me to sit down, just said: “I have an invitation for you. Find a time to talk to me.”
The posture is quite sincere, and does not consider the predecessors.
After Kevin left the meeting room, I turned off the hidden voice recorder hanging on the key ring.
This thing finally came in handy.
