Chapter 197: An Unexpected Encounter
I went to the company the next morning, and until now, I still didn't hear any news: Who is the acting general manager of the Buick Nantong store? All I can do now is to wait while guessing.
Today, Mr. Lin also came to the company very early. In his own words, he said: stand the last shift, and today is his last day at the Buick Nantong store.
I came to Mr. Lin’s office, and at this moment he was packing his office supplies.
"Mr. Lin, I'll help you clean up." I said, taking the storage box from Mr. Lin and helping him clean up.
Mr. Lin sat back on his office chair, looked around, and said to me with a reluctant smile: "I have been working here for almost 5 years, but now I am suddenly leaving, but I am nostalgic about it."
"Yes, I have the chance in the future. I hope Mr. Lin can come back and sit down. Everyone is thinking about your good things." I flattered Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin just responded to my smile and didn't say anything. It can be seen that his mood was not good at this time. He suddenly had to leave the workplace where he had worked for 5 years. Even Mr. Lin would be melancholy, human beings! He can never get rid of his nostalgia nature.
"Yixi, later, you notify the company's departments to go to the conference room for a meeting. It is considered as saying goodbye to everyone and welcome the new general manager to take office." After a while, President Lin finally said to me.
"Okay." I said as I put the packed storage box on Mr. Lin's desk, and my mood became urgent in an instant. According to what Mr. Lin said just now, the new general manager will be unveiled during the meeting later.
Mr. Lin waved at me a little tiredly and said, "You go out first, I'll sit for a while."
"Well, if you have any instructions, you are calling me." After I said that, I left Mr. Lin's office and went to the administrative department to ask the administrative department to organize this meeting.
.........
At 9:30 am, the meeting officially began. Mr. Lin sat at the beginning of the meeting, and several of us director-level directors sat on the left and right sides closest to him.
President Lin let out a heavy breath to relieve the melancholy in his heart, and then said: "First of all, thank you for your support for my work in the past five years. Without your help, there would be no Nantong store's performance today. It is your efforts and efforts that make Nantong store outstanding among the many branches. This is your credit. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of myself and the head office." After saying that, President Lin stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Mr. Lin, you are our good boss. Nantong Store will never forget you..." We stood up together, bowed to Mr. Lin, and applauded Mr. Lin! In the hearts of most of us, Mr. Lin is indeed a good leader. Many of us have been promoted by him, and we have benefited a lot from him.
The applause lasted for a long time. Mr. Lin's eyes stopped on everyone one after another. It was not until he looked at everyone that he slowly said: "My career in Nantong store has ended and I am very nostalgic about everything here, but the headquarters has more important tasks to hand over to me. I hope that after I leave, everyone can continue to create glory under the leadership of the new general manager... Are you confident?"
"Yes!~~~" we answered loudly together, saying.
Mr. Lin nodded and clapped, saying, "Your confidence is the best gift I received before leaving. Do your best, everyone! I hope I can see all the familiar faces in the headquarters again in the future."
Everyone applauded again, and Mr. Lin nodded to us again and stopped. He looked at his watch and made another gesture to keep quiet and said to us: "Please keep quiet and let us welcome the arrival of the acting general manager."
As soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, the scene was silent. I didn’t know what other people were feeling at this moment, but I really felt nervous. After all, my biggest competitor in my life is about to unveil the veil of mystery in front of me.
.........
A minute later, a "dao" sound came from outside the conference room after leather shoes came into contact with the ground. The distance was short but not rapid, calm and powerful. Just listen to the footsteps, you can tell that you are a woman, and you must be a strong woman with a sharp style. Only a confident woman can get out of this fast but steady footsteps.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone looked at each other and guessed that their faces were different, with expectations and doubts, but my heart was inexplicably "splied". I seemed to be very familiar with the footsteps of this rhythm. Half a year ago, when I was playing games during work hours, I was always on guard against such footsteps, so... I could hear whose footsteps were!!
......
The office door was opened, and everyone present except Mr. Lin changed color because of the person standing in front of him... My heart instantly experienced the baptism of ice and fire, and I couldn't say a word! ~~~
Shen Man appeared in front of everyone. Today, she was wearing a gray slim suit, a white floral short skirt on her lower body, and a pair of white high-heeled leather shoes on her feet. She was very OL-like. She was still the most elegant leader in the workplace... Half a year later, we met in this unexpected way, and she turned out to be the acting general manager of the Buick Nantong store...
Mr. Lin stood up and came to Shen Man's side, and said to everyone present: "I'll introduce you to me. This is Miss Shen Man, the new acting general manager of our Nantong store. You should be very familiar with it, right?"
As soon as Mr. Lin finished speaking, someone applauded, but I couldn't raise my hand to match the applause. Mr. Lin asked Shen Man beside him softly, "Do you want to introduce yourself?"
Shen Man nodded, then made a gesture to everyone to stop applause, and then said: "I'm very happy to meet you in Nantong Store again. My name is Shen Man, the former director of the Nantong Store Marketing Department. I believe that all the old staff here should know me. Thank the headquarters for giving me the opportunity to serve as the acting general manager of Buick Nantong Store. I hope that as before, with everyone's support, we will do our job well, and also learn with everyone and make progress!"
As soon as Shen Man finished speaking, a warm applause burst out from below. Shen Man's eyes flashed through everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped on me. At this moment, my hand was hanging in the air, but I couldn't take it anymore, so I just looked at Shen Man...
After a while, President Lin broke this subtle silence. He waved to everyone and said, "Okay, everyone, from now on, I will officially step down from the position of general manager of Nantong store. Now I am going to report to the headquarters. I hope I can come back to sit there if I have the chance. Take care of you, everyone~~~!" After saying that, he whispered a few words in Shen Man's ear, and then turned around and left.
"Take care, Mr. Lin!" Everyone stood up and prepared to see Mr. Lin off. However, when Mr. Lin left, he brought the door of the conference room. This action was to signal that we didn't have to see him off, but everyone was still persistent in going out of the company and watching Mr. Lin leave until the car disappeared from our sight...
Mr. Lin’s departure means the end of the old era of Nantongdian and the arrival of the new era.
While everyone was walking towards the office together, Chen Man and I walked side by side. She said to me in a calm tone without any expression, "Director Zhang, come to my office after the meeting later..." After that, he accelerated his pace and walked into the conference room without waiting for my answer.
