Chapter 43 After the probation period, hard work was suppressed

Hearing my humble statement, Manager Mu smiled and the folds on his face were almost squeezed together, forming deep grooves. I don’t know when I started to develop a bad habit, that is, every time I observe a face close, a voice will always sound deep in my heart, saying, Look, at this time, what four words should be written on his face, that is, his forehead, cheeks and chin, to express your feelings about him properly?

Gradually, the more I want to control myself, the more I don’t think so, but the more I can’t control it. This also leads to my distraction when I look at the other person’s face. Just like now, when I look at Manager Mu’s face, I’m thinking in my heart, is it better to write about the changes of the world on it, or is it more appropriate to have a ravine?

Just as I racked my brains to think, Manager Mu may have noticed that I was stunned and gently knocked on the table with his hands. I quickly came back to my senses and sat upright. He said, Xiao Tang, I have said everything I should say, I hope you can seize this opportunity. You joined the company on January 14th, which is in principle the first half of the month. So, January is one month, and this month is three months. I had already asked the factory director a few days ago. After discussing it, several of our leaders decided to officially notify you that you have passed the probation period.

I was not very excited when I heard this news, because this was as expected by me. I felt that I did a good job and my colleagues evaluated me very well! But I still have to say something about thanks. Manager Mu added that according to the factory regulations, as a management staff and a representative of the business department, you can only increase your salary after the probation period of this level after this level of trial period, but after my reasonable efforts and strong recommendations, the factory manager agreed to increase your salary by 150 yuan. So, starting this month, your salary is 800 yuan.

Hahaha, I feel a little calm. Sometimes people say that people's hearts are hard to fill, and it seems to be true. Three months ago, let alone 650 yuan, I was very satisfied with 400,500 yuan. Now, 800 yuan is not used in my eyes. I think this is just a flower in the water and the moon in the mirror. Why do you think so? Think about it, it's the fourth month since I entered the factory, but I haven't even received the first month's salary. Can you be happy with it? But, one code is converted into one code, and let's talk about it, just now we expressed our determination to Manager Mu. We can't lose the chain now. We should do it on the surface.

So I thanked Manager Mu again, saying that I knew very well and was very grateful to him. Since the beginning, I have obtained this position with his help, and have been deeply cultivated by him in the past three months. Therefore, in the days to come, I will definitely continue to work hard, and I hope that Manager Mu can spare no effort to give me any advice and help me.

That's what I mean by saying, but I've known what kind of person he is. He can have his place today because of Boss Mu behind him. To be honest, he is a little bit uninformed, narrow-minded, and there are rumors that he is lustful. He actually eats grass by his nest. He has some ambiguous relationships with several female workers in the factory. His daily actions are supported by power and experience.

I was unwilling to get involved with him just by these two points. Isn’t that so I have always adopted a strategy to be close and distant from him, and not to be too slow. But he is not a person who is a Mucailin, so I can wait, but he cannot wait. After a long time, he easily discovered my intention, so he naturally put on his shoes, which also laid the trouble for my later ending.

Besides, since Director Quan asked me to accompany him twice, he would often call me over to ask about business progress, or give me some of the latest customer information he got, mainly from Hong Kong, so I asked me to try to develop it.

At that time, business exchanges were mainly communicated by fax and telephone. For this reason, I spent time carefully crafting a customer development letter. When I was about to ask Li Hongmei to print it for me, she suddenly reminded me with one sentence, Tang, you wrote simplified Chinese characters. Can compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan understand this?

Yes, why didn't I think it was so embarrassing. I quickly took the development letter back and spent two days changing it to English. After careful consideration, I took it to Manager Liu and asked him to correct it. Manager Liu helped me modify a few words and patted me on the shoulder and said, "No problem, no problem." These four words are the best Chinese he spoke. I don't know who he learned it from. He often talks about them recently, no matter what the situation is, he said these four words first, hahaha.

After I revised it based on Manager Liu's opinion, I started to develop the customer. In fact, I just sent a few faxes every day. Before sending the fax, I called and asked who the customer was responsible for purchasing. After getting the information, I filled it out and fax it, and then called again to ask if the other party received it. If I didn't receive it, I would send it again and then confirm it again. If I received it, I would like to communicate with the other party to see if there is anything we can help, or give a chance. We went to their mainland factory to visit. If we could get a positive response, it would be the best. It would be enough for me to be excited all day. In the better part, I could get the other party's inquiry, which would be a great thing. In the next few days, I would feel particularly accomplished, full of vitality and full of motivation.

Nowadays, sometimes when I think back, I feel that it was very funny at that time because I couldn’t understand vernacular. Hong Kong people couldn’t understand Mandarin, so we only communicate in English. Our opening remarks are usually like this. I said, Can you speak putonghua (Mandarin)?

sorry ,I can't , would you like to speak Guangdonghua (Cantonese)?

You guys, Hong Kong has been back for several years at that time. Even if it has not returned, they can always speak Chinese, but they just can't speak, and many people can't even understand it. The communication between two dignified Chinese people actually depends on the language of a third country. Is it sad and ridiculous?

Later I read a book about African languages, which said that the African continent is the continent with the largest variety of languages. But why are the official languages ​​of most countries in the African continent now either English or French? Although there are factors that colonize English and French at the beginning, the more important thing is that no language is communicated between any two tribes. In order to balance the relationship and achieve fairness, it is necessary to find the greatest common divisor between the two sides and even the three parties, and simply adopt the language of the colonists. This has led to the current situation where the official languages ​​of African countries are English and French. This is also the case between Hong Kong people and I. Speaking English is fair to both sides, and there is no difference in understanding.

Once, I communicated with Manager Qin from Huizhou Factory of Hong Kong Great Wall Computer Company for a while and quoted several products. The manager meant that I asked me to take some time to visit. Since the manager had spoken, I made an appointment with Manager Qin as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, when submitting the business trip application, Xu Wenhan suddenly got in. He said that the customer was a little surprised and hopeful, but I didn’t have enough experience, so it would be more appropriate for him to take me there.

Yes, I have no objection, and we can also learn some skills in communicating with customers with you. When we arrived at the factory, everything went smoothly. Supervisor Xu talked, I was a small follower, responsible for recording, and a few sentences were appropriately inserted in the middle, and the cooperation was quite good.

Finally, two products were negotiated. Manager Qin asked us to send samples as soon as possible for quality testing. Manager Xu gave me a promise of one week. On the way back, Manager Xu said to me, Xiao Tang, fortunately I came with him this time, otherwise this customer would have to be ruined.

I was puzzled at the time. I didn't speak much during the whole process, and I felt that everything was going well, so why was it going to be bad? And I heard what you said, it seemed that it was my reason if it was bad? Why? I really wanted to argue with him and argue with him. Later, I thought about it and let it go, but along the way, I felt so frustrated that anyone would feel unhappy.

What made me even more unhappy was that from then on, I found that Xu Wenhan's attitude towards me became less and less right. He set up a card everywhere and was always on guard. As the saying goes, "A person is harmless, and a tiger is hurtful." Although we keep a low profile, humble, and even humble, they are still unwilling to let us go, which makes me at a loss.

Every time I come back from a business trip with the factory manager, the factory manager hasn't said anything yet. Xu Wenhan will ask me to write a business trip report as soon as possible, explaining in detail where I went, who I met, what was the contact information, what was the content I talked about, what was the result of the talk, etc.

Although the company did not have this regulation before, we had to write a "Daily Work Report" every day, and then hand it over to Zhen Shanmei for translation and submit it to the supervisor, manager, and factory manager for signature. Now your supervisor Xu asked me to write one more, isn't it a waste of time? Is it possible that you are bigger than the factory manager's profile?

But I thought again, no, no matter how much Xu Wenhan said, he was my direct boss and the manager of the sales department. In terms of position, he was two levels higher than me; in terms of qualifications, he was a veteran of the company; in terms of ability, we have only been in the factory for a few months. If we say that we are better than others now, we probably won’t even believe it myself.

Taking a step back, Manager Xu just needs to understand the work content of his employees. What's wrong with this? Even if we increase our workload, what's that? We are young and energetic, so we just write a business trip report. What's the big deal?

In fact, as long as you have no resistance in your mind, things will become very simple. A few days later, I wrote thousands of words and handed them over to Supervisor Xu. He took them and glanced, and threw them directly into the drawer. I didn't say a word, turned around and left.

One day, Li Hongmei threw drafts into the trash can next to Xu Wenhan, but she didn't throw them in. She hurriedly ran over, picked them up and threw them in. Suddenly, as if she had discovered a new world, she took out a stack of clean and neat documents from the trash can. After a closer look, it was my previous business trip report.

Maybe she was bored, so she actually took it over and read it as a novel, and then gave me instructions in circles and bits. Sometimes she said that this word is good and that paragraph is well received. Then she said, Oh, I have to go to Guangzhou to have so many places, and several toll stations, so far.

I was amused by her and said a little amused and laughed at, Sister Li, I handed over this work report to Supervisor Xu, but I didn’t even look at it. I threw it away as waste paper. Why are you still a baby? Look, the difference between you and the Supervisor is not a little bit! Come on!

Li Hongmei was unhappy when she heard this and said, it was someone else's business that others looked down on. I think you wrote a good book. Although it was a business trip report, it had artistic conception, ups and downs. I like it, and I want to collect it!

I have no choice, let it be as you like, just do whatever you like.
Chapter completed!
