Chapter 29:

The big boss’s expression suddenly became lively and interesting: “What did she promise you? CEO?”

“She promised nothing.” I laughed for some reason, “but there is indeed a hint to me about this position.”

“That won’t work, she is too reluctant.” The big boss also laughed.

It’s just that his smile is a little awkward, even though it is separated from the video, I also feel a little murderous in the pixels. The so-called coercion of the upper ranks is nothing more than this, but a person who is not the head of a department is not the master of the power and threatens the status of the big boss. I was not worried that he doubted me and said, “I don’t know what your instructions are?”

He only learned about this, and he had a fart instruction, and he said unexpectedly: “Talk about your thoughts.”

I said as I prepared earlier, but it’s nothing more than two aspects. Miss Pande has chosen the cards clearly, dragging is definitely not good, accept it, the current situation is not good for us, pretending to be more or less helpful, and the enemy will be defeated. This tug-of-war may be very hard; Don’t accept it, without me, Li Yao, there are Zhang Yao and Wang Yao. The most important thing is that there is a Kevin who is ready-made, waiting there.

But I deliberately didn’t mention Kevin, or anyone else who might be. This matter has to be left to the big boss to figure out for himself, it is really impossible, it is better to talk about it through Jocelyn than me.

“If you accept the proposal, the risk is difficult to manage. The BCG is uncontrollable. Our company’s personnel structure is indeed not perfect, and there is room for improvement.” I mean definitely not considering agreeing to her, at least this I can’t let me do it, “In this case, we buy time according to the conventional process, which may be more conducive to the long-term development of our company.”

“You think it’s better to refuse her.”

“I think it is impossible to manage risk in this matter. The company is now in a critical period.” I didn’t easily say a “no” and asked, “What’s your opinion?”

“She can find someone else if she doesn’t find you.” The big boss said, “Are you willing to do it?”

I try to maintain my business expression: “Well, this matter still needs to be considered carefully.”

The big boss took a breath and suddenly laughed. He laughed for three or four seconds. I suspected that the video was stuck, and he stopped and said, “You do multiple-choice questions, accept or reject?”

“The current situation of the company…”

“choose one.”

“I think it’s better not to give BCG a chance to put an internal response in the company.” I had no choice but to say directly, “From the perspective of a front-line employee, I will reject her proposal.”

“Then let her go to Kevin or Sanjay?”

The big boss responded quickly. I said: “If you know in advance who is responding, it should be fine to do some management accordingly.”

“You are right.” The big boss agreed. I didn’t understand yet, the big boss said again: “Are you confident?”

I did not answer the call immediately. He generously forgiven me for the silence that lasted for a short while, and didn’t urge me again, nor did he doubt whether my motionless expression was because of the video jam.

Finally, I sighed in my heart. I said: “If Rudla is not informed about this matter, my work will be difficult to carry out.”

“I’ll talk to him.” He nodded. “You can figure it out by yourself. If you need it, ask me for special affairs.”

After the video conference, I poured a handful of mint into my mouth.

The only good news is that I will not be emptied because of this “underground job”. Our department is too busy now, and I don’t even have this chance to take it off the table-but it’s hard to say whether the matter will be unloaded and killed.

It’s not that I can’t believe in our big boss. It’s not a question of conscience, but an objective business law.

People talk about feelings, and business is very ruthless.

I don’t think I can do this well. In the past, talents like Yuan Shu have never met in a century. This requires a high level of faith and great luck; and I am just a worker who wants to pay off the mortgage quickly and get a promotion. When I heard Miss Pan De talk about it last night, I never thought about agreeing to her. It’s important for people to know themselves. What does it mean for a gentleman not to stand under a dangerous wall?

If you know that you can’t play with others, don’t set up games together.

I drank water from the refrigerator. After the iced mineral water went down the esophagus, my throat moistened with mint was like a tail being stepped on. The pain was so painful that I almost choked to death by this mouthful of cold water.

I quickly grabbed another handful of mints, chewed them indiscriminately, and took a deep breath.

what. it hurts.

What can be said and what cannot be said, where and what the line looks like, are all questions for the future. The problem before my eyes now is: How to convince Miss Pan De that I was bought by her?

First of all, I must keep a distance from her. I have never heard of anyone who defeats the strong with the weak by hand-to-hand combat. If I behave too close to her, or try to be too close, I will die long before the victory, and I never have a chance to know when I am. Where’s the ultimate move.

Then I can only be moved by her interests.

What can Miss Pande promise? The CEO is impossible, and the COO is also unrealistic. Let alone her, even if the chairman of the group appointed me to serve, I am afraid that I will have to stand out from the crowd. If I am a member of the group, the CEO of the subsidiary I prefer is definitely the COO or Kevin, but considering that the big boss is likely to leave after being emptied, it is more appropriate for his position to be held by the current COO; there is no possibility of airborne Small, such a radish is counted as a pit, and I may be upgraded to a level, that is, the assistant director.

If the director she casually promised last night could come true, the deal would not be a loss.

On Sunday, a strange news caught my attention.

Singapore will ban all foreigners from entering or transiting the country from the day after tomorrow.

Previously, due to the import of internationally transmitted cases, Singapore had banned entry for people who had travel history to South Korea, Iran or some high-risk European countries within 14 days. There are only a few local infection groups, and the situation is well controlled. Why should this ban be issued? I took a closer look and found that shipping with Malaysia is not affected by the ban, so at least there is no shortage of daily necessities.

There was a two-day shortage of toilet paper in Singapore in February.

Yes, there is no shortage of rice, no lack of noodles, no lack of toilet paper.

At that time, Minister Chen’s heartbroken “Why toilet paper” audio was widely circulated, because of its distinctive Singaporean accent, and it showed a small face outside of Southeast Asia, and I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

I don’t think it’s right. This news clearly shows that the Singaporean government considers the epidemic prevention task extremely heavy, and the situation is so severe that it has to “allow out but not in”. According to the domestic anti-epidemic experience, external prevention of import, internal prevention of proliferation, now there are only a few people wearing masks on the streets, and most of the food court seats are very crowded. It may not be so easy to control the spread of the epidemic by blocking traffic with foreign countries alone. .

I was wondering when I suddenly received a message from Lao Huang: “Look at the mail.”

It turned out that HR sent emails to all employees, and our company decided to implement group office. Each department is divided into two groups AB, one group rotates to the company every week, and the empty group works from home; as a pilot method of the plan, starting next week, all employees will start a two-week home office to check for vacancies.

This decision was made in a hurry. It is likely that the plan was implemented ahead of time because of today’s news. There are few people checking mailboxes on weekends, and there may be many people coming to the company tomorrow. If HR calls one by one, how much work is this? The sudden launch of the program also means a lot of adjustments, more mail reporting and documentation work, and more importantly, how should the cooperation with the BCG party be carried out?

The exchange of information is sometimes very delicate. Face-to-face communication, small talk happens naturally, and metaphors other than words can also be implied by simple eyes or movements. These things, which are usually dispensable, are crucial to us who are currently facing a crisis.

Not to mention that I have multiple tasks now. If I switch to online office, do I need to study network information security engineering, or do I have to quickly learn social engineering?

In addition, online communication is too easy to leave marks. Tai Chi will become more difficult in the past two weeks. Of course, there will be similar difficulties on the BCG side. I think the time for them to come up with that framework may be slow.

I made a phone call with Lao Huang to exchange my thoughts. He relieved a few words. After the call was hung up, I still felt a little unreliable. The annual meeting with the group will be held in April. This is considered the top priority of internal work. Now it is a special situation that cannot tolerate the slightest difference. The drafts of the teams have been compiled to me one after another. The boss will report the department reports, and Huang will be his deputy; my job is mainly to prepare slides for the boss, but the drafts of the boss and the boss are all written by me. .

The work style has changed, and the dead line of important tasks hangs there. I am lack of skills, and I am very passive in dealing with BCG issues. After all, the “Tai Chi” group led by Raymond is still relatively young, and it is difficult for them to make a breakthrough alone. They can only hope that they will hold their ground and persist until the end of the annual meeting.

It’s time for dinner. I really didn’t have any appetite, so I forced myself to leave the computer, changed my clothes and went to the gym downstairs to do some anaerobic training. At the end of the exercise, I still couldn’t eat anything, but I was half tired. I barely drank a cup of whey protein, which was so sweet that I didn’t want to eat it this time, and finally grabbed the nuts.

After changing my mind, I am a little more awake. It’s normal to feel unreliable. A company with 50 people is governed by people. Can a company with 5,000 people still be governed by people? A keen sheep in the flock is enough to survive. I used the night time to write a work report process for home office, and I plan to implement it in my group tomorrow.

Now that all parties are insecure, under this special situation, how to ensure that the work is carried out normally and how to ensure that each post is minimized as far as possible is a matter of knowledge. As long as the knowledge can be systematized, it can be formulated into a process to ensure that everyone abides by it.

Of course-although it is not necessary, I still have to show this plan to the boss before discussing it.
