Chapter 46: Pride is incompetent
The next morning, Ling Xiao attended two meetings at the company, both of which were held in the conference room opposite Director Liu and Secretary Ma’s offices. The company’s conference room was quite generous. The six-room Datong room was almost filled with three-person leather sofas against four walls. There was a tea-colored glass coffee table in front of each sofa. The conference room in the village was not a little different.
The first meeting attended were the company's office and the staff, with a total of 28 people, including 17 women, accounting for the majority. Most of them were women who had started their families in their thirties, and only three girls had not started their families. There were four main leaders of the eleven male company, including three middle-level leaders, including Ling Xiao, and the rest were the driver Du Bing. In addition to the children, there were also a boiler worker and an electrician. The meeting mainly announced the appointment of Ling Xiao as the director of the company's office, determined the responsibilities of the director of the office, and also talked about other issues of the company, such as routine emphasis on work discipline, etc.
The second meeting was that the middle-level and above leaders and the chief and deputy leaders of subordinate enterprises participated, mainly to study the renovation of hotels and hotels. Director Liu particularly agreed with this matter. When he talked about this plan, he praised He Peiling for his willingness to use his mind at work. He Peiling was so energetic today that she really regarded that trick as she did. Ling Xiao thought she always gave a secret look of gratitude, but she didn't wait until it was all the time. Some people who made money were unlucky, and some were happy were depressed. Director Liu talked about the hotel with everyone, so he criticized the construction team and the cement prefabricated plate factory, accusing Director Di of being incompetent, making the construction team almost out of work, and the prefabricated plate factory could not produce it. Unfortunately, he had a loan of more than 100,000 yuan, and anything he did could make a spark.
From these two meetings, Ling Xiao noticed the style and prestige of several main leaders of the company. Director Liu, like Secretary Wu of Dachen Township, occupies the absolute authority of the top leader. People below have to act according to Director Liu's expression when speaking. Secretary Ma is a fence-skinned man who has no opinion. He runs there and cannot hear his voice. People are not waiting to hear when he speaks. Manager Huang is a vocal worm, just nods well, and anyone can joke with him. Only Manager Jing dares to give some different opinions to Director Liu, such as when Director Liu scolds Director Di, he is willing to come forward to defend him, and it seems that he has some prestige in front of the people below. When he speaks, the people below seem more respectful.
This made Ling Xiao understand that Manager Jing has a certain power in the company, and perhaps he still wants to compete with Director Liu's power, because from their words and expressions, it is obvious that Director Di is from Manager Jing's side. In a unit, he is most afraid of such a situation. If there is a conflict between the main leaders, the people below will be at a loss and do not know where to lean on it. Once the wrong team is in the wrong team, the consequence is that the company will be treated coldly or even isolated. This wrong team means that the relationship between the two leaders is ready to break completely, and the winner will inevitably be decided in the end. However, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose when the sword is tense, and it will be difficult to grasp which side the people below will stand on, because the social relationship and background of people are very complex and changeable. Even the first leader may not be sure to win.
In the whirlpool of power struggle among leaders, it is not easy for the people below to remain neutral. For example, Ling Xiao, who was transferred by Director Liu, will definitely be directly assigned to Director Liu's confidants. You can't just tell everyone that you should stay neutral, right? And if you say that others may not believe it. Ling Xiao himself understands this very well. Since he has gotten on Director Liu's ship, he can only follow Director Liu in the company in the future, and he will be regarded as a gambling bet, even if he loses only the rest.
I have admitted my pants and must not be distracted, otherwise both sides will not fall into trouble. However, Director Liu is the company's top leader after all, and as long as Director Liu takes control of the power for one day, he can win the "money" for one day. Moreover, Ling Xiao's ambition is not here. When their conflicts become fierce, he may have been far away from here. Now, just be cautious and don't sing around to claim that he is on Director Liu's side. It is serious to have time to plan his own major affairs.
Manager Zhu of the hotel was treating him at lunch, and everyone was at the table and turned into a good friend's peace. Manager Wei of the mall did not get Ling Xiao drunk yesterday, which made him suffer. He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even drink a drop of wine today. When he saw the wine, he frowned. No one else dared to challenge Ling Xiao. He drank less than a bottle of white wine at noon. After the meal was gone, he went out to do two important things after going to work.
The two things I found were a person, a woman, and a female classmate from his junior high school. The female classmate was Jiang Zhujun, who worked in the county sugar and wine company and had been working for more than three years. I heard that she had just taken over as an accountant. Ling Xiao looked for her, one was to ask her to help buy a few bottles of famous wine and a few pieces of famous cigarettes at the wholesale price to give to others, and the other was to make it for his good friend Qian Xiaodong.
Jiang Zhujun is pretty, but not the kind of gorgeous beauty, but the kind with a straight and elegant facial features, which makes people feel peaceful and pleasing to the eye. But this is just an external star. Those who are familiar with Jiang Zhujun know that she is more lively and speaks more straightforwardly. Qian Xiaodong had a crush on others when he was in junior high school, but he was embarrassed to tell Ling Xiao, his best friend, that he just fell in love with him silently. Until Ling Xiao graduated from college and was about to go to work in Dachen Township, as a person who made money, he invited Ling Xiao to his house to drink and expressed his thoughts with alcohol.
At that time, Ling Xiao advised him to pursue it boldly, otherwise he would have to regret it for life when he found a partner. Qian Xiaodong himself understood this truth very well, but he just didn't have the courage to find someone else, and he didn't have the courage to find a matchmaker. The matchmaker said that there was a ready-made one, and he had a female classmate who was very good to Jiang Zhujun in the same unit. The woman was named Wu Lixin, and she was also a high school classmate with Ling Xiao and Qian Xiaodong. Jiang Zhujun found a partner and could easily get it out of Wu Lixin's broken mouth.
Jiang Zhujun has no partner yet, but Qian Xiaodong is still on the same spot and has made no progress. Every time Ling Xiao meets him, he always cheers him up. He always pats his chest and wants to go. But when he sees him again next time, he still remains shameless and makes Ling Xiao anxious. He scolds him for being face-saving and suffers every time. It was like this when he met yesterday. Ling Xiao was so angry that he didn't know what to say. His cousin was too shameless, and Qian Xiaodong was too shameless, afraid that he would lose face after being rejected.
Ling Xiao has played with Qian Xiaodong since he was a child, and he has never understood him any more than Ling Xiao. He loves to play and can joke, he is a kind of person who is very smart, has unique insights and can analyze ideas, and gives others one by one and one by one, and is very knowledgeable. But when it is his turn, he understands everything, but he doesn't have the courage to act. He can also say that he is a coward, but sometimes he is brave and can't compare to his courage. For example, he has quarreled with the factory director and secretary several times, because he can't stand other people's cold-blooded and despicable behaviors.
This made Ling Xiao unable to fully understand him. For example, he likes to joke, but this is limited to acquaintances. People who are strangers are often shy. Ling Xiao lay on the comfortable bed in the dormitory last night and carefully analyzed Qian Xiaodong. He concluded that his arrogance is too heavy and he is very strict. When someone challenged his arrogance, he would become an angry lion. This is why he fought with the factory leaders. He was arrogant and pointed at people like him. He did not dare to pursue Jiang Zhujun boldly, nor did he dare to express his thoughts to others. Maybe he felt that his appearance was a bit lacking in Jiang Zhujun, and he was afraid that people would overestimate his ability. He was even more afraid that if he was rejected by Jiang Zhujun, it would seriously damage his so-called self-esteem, that is, the arrogance in his heart unconsciously prevented and resolved his determination every time.
Ling Xiao was able to come to this conclusion because he had this problem himself, but he was not as serious as Qian Xiaodong. He used to be an advantage. Through the past two months of transformation, he deeply realized that excessive arrogance and high self-esteem are actually a big problem. In order not to damage his arrogance and self-esteem, he was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. He should be bold but not bold, and he should not be bold. He should be cowardly, which is equivalent to incompetence; he should be bold and reckless, which is equivalent to nonsense. He should be bold and mature until the years pass, and he missed the best time in his life.
So Ling Xiao could understand Qian Xiaodong's "cowardice". Someone like this must push him to the road. After he goes up, he will know how to leave and will leave very well. Qian Xiaodong's family is in good condition, his parents have jobs, and only two sisters above have gotten married. He is the only son and the old and young, and his appearance is the kind of honest and honest truth. He is also really loyal, afraid of right and wrong others. In theory, he is quite compatible with Jiang Zhujun. If he pursues boldly, he will have great hope. Ling Xiao hopes that his good friends will marry the love in his heart like him, and while he is looking for Jiang Zhujun, he will decide to do his best to help him achieve good things.
The sugar and wine company is also on West Street, not far from their company. I saw Jiang Zhujun in the finance room. She was lying face to face with a woman who was a little older than her on the desk. She was a little surprised when she saw it was Ling Xiao, then she smiled happily and asked, "Yaah, it's Ling Xiao, it's so rare! Why did you think of this? Are you looking for me?"
Ling Xiao hadn't seen her for almost a year, and she was dressed more beautifully than before. He laughed and said, "Yes, I'm looking for you, otherwise who else can I find?"
Jiang Zhujun giggled, pointed to a chair by the wall and said politely: "Welcome, please sit down!" After Ling Xiao sat down, she giggled, "Ling Xiao, you are so positive. You are all married. Have you brought me wedding candy?"
Ling Xiao scratched his head and smiled, "Yes, why did you forget to bring you wedding candy? I'll buy it for you later. It just so happens that your unit sells candy, so I'll buy it."
"Hehe, you're quite generous. Let's talk about what you're looking for me first, and we'll talk about the wedding candy matter later."
Ling Xiao talked about transferring himself to the service company, saying that he was about to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he owed others favors and wanted to make up for it. He prepared in advance to save time, so he couldn't buy good cigarettes and wine. He also saved some money for a wholesale price. Jiang Zhujun enthusiastically agreed and took him to the wholesale department to buy eight bottles of famous wine, and then took him to the tobacco company of our hospital to approve four famous cigarettes, and also found a solid black plastic bag and packed four bags tightly.
