Chapter 89
Chapter 92:
The boss announced the news of his resignation. It was the 27th, less than a week before he officially left.
In fact, since last Thursday, the boss has stopped coming to the company. The handover has been completed, and it really doesn’t make sense for him to stay here. The wind and rain in the office settled with the resignation email, and there were two or three sets of sorrowful data on the intranet, and the farewell was very sad.
People outside look at us like a defeated prince; I look at myself like a fallen dog.
Kevin is now like the emperor who returned to the dynasty, and can go hand in hand with the COO. He is surrounded by flowers. In the eyes of others, I am not a brilliant trophy, because the winners and losers, the sellers seek glory?
Kevin is gradually willing to show kindness to me. Although we have never had any personal contact again, his attitude quietly changed because my attitude was unknown, and I knew he would reuse me. Regardless of my safety and self-reliance, or my humorous mood, Kevin is undoubtedly satisfied with my performance in the recent period.
He is still waiting for an opportunity to use me.
And I am waiting for the opportunity.
The big boss has clearly informed me that Kevin will not be the director of the Asian department. And, if it is not necessary, this candidate will not be recruited from outside: Although there is also the possibility of group airborne, in general, the candidates are very few.
These four senior managers in our two departments, together with an assistant director in the European department, are all likely to be able to hold this position.
The question now is who will act as this “agent”.
Acting as an agent, straightened out the righting, normal.
But in history, the two Daizongs succeeded to the throne in troubled times, and their endings were completely different.
To be an agent, you have to see the situation clearly: at least you know who your opponent is.
Lao Huang asked me to have a drink together. He knows that I don’t like coffee, and I also know that he is trying to quit sugar recently and can’t drink milk tea. At a discount, the two people went to the food court in the residential area outside the two subway stations and squeezed fresh juice for two yuan and two tubes.
Lao Huang drinks lemonade.
He conjured two ebony lollipops out of his bag and gave me one. After removing his own one, he stuffed it in his mouth, and said, “Have you decided to stay?”
I was taken aback for a moment and nodded: “I’m still thinking about… the boss didn’t talk to me about the specific business content, and I’m not sure if the position over there is attractive enough. What did he tell you?”
“Boss said that you are the kind of person who will stand firm to the end.” Old Huang held his sugar handle and turned in a circle. The scene was really funny. I never seemed to have seen a man of this age eat a lollipop. Even though the topic was serious and heavy, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Lao Huang clearly understood what I was laughing at, took out the lollipop and held it in his hand, and said sternly: “What!”
“Why are you eating a lollipop?”
“I quit smoking.” He looked at me, “Why are you so surprised?”
I bit the straw and drank a big drink: “I am happy for you. I hope you can persist.”
“No, no, it’s not called’persistence’, it’s called’stop smoking’.” Old Huang said, “I’m reading “This Book Will Let You Quit Smoking”. It really works, although it’s just a new brainwashing technique. To replace the old one, but the fact is that I became a non-smoker.”
I nodded slowly: “And what is the relationship between this and your lollipop?”
“I only started reading yesterday.” Old Huang stuffed his lollipop back again. “Can’t you pretend that I just fell in love with lollipop?”
“Hey.” I felt disgusted and frowned. “Can’t you stop eating in front of me?”
“Do you feel sick?” Old Huang raised his chin at me, “Then can you always bite the straw into a square?”
“I didn’t…” I looked down.
Well, life is not easy, people have to learn to let each other go.
Old Huang glanced at me disgustingly. He didn’t say much. He just bulged a bag on one side of his cheek like a squirrel, and said, “What gift do you bring with you on Sunday?”
The boss invited us to dinner at his house on Sunday. Of course, because it is a family gathering, Lao Huang must bring his family. His sister-in-law must have asked him to ask about this. Huang Xiuwen said that it sounds nice, called “pragmatic” and “not trivial.” If it is awkward, it means it lacks roots.
He is totally capable of carrying a handful of green onions to visit other people’s homes.
“I plan to bring a bottle of wine. The boss only called you and me. Their family has a maximum of six people. Three of them are children. Your family is two adults. If you count me, there are only six. I think Eat better.” I said, “Do you want to bring some home-baked food?”
“Well, I also thought about it. But isn’t the boss a religious believer? I don’t know much about Hinduism. I don’t know if I can bring food.”
This is true. He has served us several times at home, regardless of the number of people, every time the meal is divided, and he really wants to bring some biscuits in the past, and I don’t know if it will offend other people’s customs.
I thought about it and said, “Why don’t we send something else.”
“Like what?”
I glanced at him. I’m so lazy, I don’t know if I think about it? But I did not care about him very generously: “The gift card of the Rainforest Company? I plan to give a gift card from Starbucks or something.”
“This is not bad!” Old Huang asked immediately, “So, how much do we send? Fifty new?”
I took a breath: “The last time Huilin gave birth, how many red envelopes did we give?”
“I remember it was eighty?”
“Don’t you think that based on this ratio, is it too much to give the owner a gift card of fifty yuan for a general party?” I looked at him, “Anyway, I will prepare 30 new voucher, you can handle it.”
“Then I will do the same.” Old Huang simply ignored my obvious mockery.
I shrugged silently. My sister-in-law and I came to Singapore halfway. Although we all have the same language and culture, the cultural differences are still obvious. These details of dealing with people are exactly where we should ask Huang Xiuwen, a local person, for advice. He would do well. He didn’t know how to ask three questions, and he also discussed with me on the other hand.
Old Huang asked again: “Will you bring anyone this time?”
“What?” I looked up, “Oh, no.”
Old Huang paused: “Is there no such person, or did you choose not to bring it?”
This person’s acumen is really wrong. I had no intention of hiding it from him, so I said: “I dare not.”
Old Huang’s eyes almost lit up: “Is it from the partner? Wow! Who is that lucky man, let me guess, are you in a long-distance relationship now?”
I just glanced at him and didn’t answer.
“Is it from Indonesia? Is it Chinese?”
“Hello gossip!” I frowned, “I won’t say it.”
“Can’t I say even if I leave my job?”
I was stunned: “Are you going to Superman with the boss?”
Old Huang nodded.
Suddenly, my heart was empty.
Old Huang said: “I haven’t talked to them about the treatment, but I met with the CEO some time ago and chatted. But they are really sincere…”
“Are you saying that you are sincere from a financial point of view?” I said. For us, the boss’s cakes are just cakes. When it comes to sincerity, there is only real money.
Lao Huang pretends to move forward mysteriously: “I shouldn’t leak this kind of information, but I heard—I heard—their treatment for department directors is a basic salary of 500,000 yuan, and the year-end cash is about It is one-third of the basic salary, and then a certain amount of stock is distributed every year based on performance.”
We both had matching eyes.
“And we are the core department, only more…” Old Huang winked his eyes.
Singapore’s tax is low, and if I get at least 700,000 cash in hand every year, my mortgage can be paid off in two or three strokes.
Of course, everything has a price.
I took a sip of my drink: “It’s so generous. Overtime must be very common.”
“That’s it.” Old Huang turned his lollipop, “but it doesn’t seem to make a difference to us. How about it, are you interested?”
“I don’t know.” I said, “The specific business of Superman is still very different from the crab shell. In addition, this kind of unicorn company is prone to management-level confusion. You see our company is also similar… …It’s hard to say whether you can find a piece of paradise after you quit.”
“Do you still hope to find another way?” Old Huang looked at me, “I haven’t found that you have such an optimistic side before.”
“This is called ‘professional’.” I corrected, “When will you leave?”
“I still want to ask you.”
This also asks me? I found it a little strange, but I heard Old Huang say: “I am willing to stay to help you, but at most I can only stay until the end of the year. Are you useful to me?”
I look at Lao Huang. One of his cheeks also bulged a ball with a lollipop, but it didn’t seem like a joke at all.
“Of course!” I didn’t have a reason for a sore nose, and immediately lowered my head to cover it up, “Isn’t it going to delay your business?”
Old Huang smiled: “No. I also told the boss that he can call the shots and leave the position to me. In addition, their CEO seems to like me very much. The company’s management is basically a technical backbone, and the overall environment It’s not the same as the crab shell here. I believe I will be happier when I get there.
“Of course, the best case is to deal with the company’s garbage, and we will go with the boss.” Old Huang’s lollipop moved from the left cheek to the right, and then turned back again, “What do you think? Happy? , Simple, there is still money to make.”
The truth is always involuntarily involuntarily, where in the world is there a high-level management and a simple environment. But I can’t bear to pour cold water at this time. Why don’t you understand the truth? I just smiled and said, “Sounds great.”
“–But let’s talk about it first.” Old Huang said suddenly.
“what?”
“I don’t flatter Kevin.” Old Huang said, “I have neither the will nor the ability.”
“Of course.” I said, “I have other suggestions for you.”
