The next morning, I put on a new set of clothes.
Today was a big day. It was the first board meeting of Bluestar Company after the change of management, and I was honored to attend.
Bing Cha and the other girls slept very late and said that they wouldn't wake up until noon. Therefore, I, Snow Moon, and Yun went to the company headquarters together. Qin Yun had almost 1% of the company's shares, so she barely qualified to attend. The main reason was because Ling Xue had asked her to come with us. No one dared to disobey the president.
We ate breakfast in the company's break room.
Ling Xue walked over and tugged at my tie. "Are you nervous?"
"I'm fine." I tried to remain calm.
Ling Xue didn't smile at all. She said softly, "Just follow me later. Don't forget that you're my personal assistant."
"I know..."
Not long after, a girl informed us that the meeting was starting. The four of us got up and entered the meeting hall.
Inside the large hall, there were more than twenty executives. Most of them were around 40 years old, and they looked capable and profound. Their smiles were all on their faces, and no one could see through each other's true faces.
The meeting began.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Xue opened the folder and began to report the company's operations for the past month in a clear and melodious voice. Her words were clean and crisp, causing people to look at her in a new light. Even I was shocked. My girlfriend was now speaking with the attitude of a person of high status.
After Ling Xue finished, Ling Yue continued, "Next, we will discuss the operation plan and investment plan for next month. First, Bluestar's technical department will invest in the international company Eternal Moon. Who is the technical director?"
A man in his thirties stood up and said, "It's me, the vice president!"
Ling Yue nodded and pointed at me, who was next to Ling Xue. She said, "From today onwards, he will be the technical manager of Bluestar. Since this project was decided by my father when he was alive, you can decide the details during the meeting!"
"Yes, vice president!"
The man looked at me suspiciously. However, since Ling Yue had spoken, he had nothing to say.
Ling Xue pursed her lips and revealed a smile. She announced, "Last month, the planning department made 7 successful creative cases, and they can only be rewarded. I personally decided to raise the basic salary of all the employees in the planning department by 5%. Does anyone have any objection to this?"
Everyone applauded, and the director of the planning department smiled and thanked him.
Ling Xue smiled faintly and said, "The Hangzhou branch's implementation department has had four consecutive accidents. The president of the Hangzhou branch, Mr. Wang, can't get away with it. Now, I'm officially requesting for your dismissal. Within three days, a new executive president will take over the Hangzhou branch. I hope you'll cooperate well."
Everyone's expression changed. A fat man stood up and pointed at his own nose. "Four accidents, this … this can't all be blamed on me, right?"
Ling Xue slammed the table and stood up, her face cold as she said, "What, you want to shirk responsibility?
Let me tell you, you can't escape the blame. Fire him immediately. This is my decision! "
The fat man sat down with a gloomy face.
In fact, this board of directors did not mean absolute democracy, and Ling Xue, the CEO, also showed her courage. Under the combination of carrot and stick, everyone should have a point of balance in their hearts. Some people who wanted to mess up the company's order naturally had to think twice. Ling Xue could decisively fire the CEO of a branch, so what about the rest of the people?
After that, Ling Yue gave the quarterly summary. Everyone listened to her. Everyone knew that although Ling Yue was the vice president, the shares she held were the same as Ling Xue's. In fact, their positions were the same.
Of course, Ling Yue's way of doing things was much gentler. She made a prophecy to comfort the board of directors and the senior management. She talked about working hard together and standing in the same boat through thick and thin. She talked for half an hour, which surprised Qin Yun and I. This pair of twin sisters was worthy of being Ling Tian's daughters. They were born with the ability to be controlled in the business world.
The board of directors meeting lasted until noon. Then, a banquet was prepared at the hotel across the street.
As usual, Ling Xue and Ling Yue ate very little. I accompanied them the entire time. Qin Yun, on the other hand, was able to socialize with ease. She talked and laughed with the board of directors, and everyone's eyes lit up. It was a feast for the eyes to see such a beautiful shareholder in the company!
… …
In the afternoon, the beautiful office secretary led me to my own office. It wasn't far from Ling Xue's office. This was something Ge Lin could arrange.
The technical department was officially renamed as the Eternal Moon Corporation's branch in Shanghai. I was honored to be the project manager of this project, and I could be considered a lord of this area.
In the department meeting, there was a director, three supervisors, and a lot of technical backbones. All of them were staring at me with complicated expressions, and I wasn't used to it. I used to be a small supervisor, but all my subordinates were people like Wang Yu. Since when did I become subordinates of these social elites?
Naturally, I displayed a humble attitude, and listened to their opinions for almost the entire afternoon, causing my head to swell. However, this was a stage that I had to go through. I had to integrate myself into this kind of work as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would become a layman leading an expert, and that would be a tragedy.
Fortunately, I had worked as a programmer for a year before, so I had some understanding of technology. That was why I wasn't looked down on by these people.
I didn't even have time to eat dinner. The three department heads didn't let go and insisted on finishing their work report before eating dinner. One of them even patted my shoulder and smiled, "Manager, let's eat dinner together. We'll all welcome you back!"
Another supervisor laughed loudly. "That's right. Let's have dinner together?"
I was about to agree when the door to the meeting room opened. Ling Xue and Ling Yue walked in one after the other.
"Ah?
The president … "
The supervisors were stunned, and their expressions turned respectful. The president's rank was much higher than theirs. If it weren't for Ling Xue and Ling Yue, they might not even have the chance to see the president once in half a month.
Ling Xue nodded and said, "Scholar, come eat dinner with us?"
"Oh …"
I smiled and said to the three supervisors, "Let's change the welcome dinner to another time. There's plenty of time for that!"
The supervisors probably thought that I wasn't arrogant, and we were close in age, so they nodded and laughed. They watched me and Ling Xue and Ling Yue walk out of the door.
Once we were outside, Ling Xue held my hand intimately. She didn't forget to ask, "How do you feel today?"
"Not bad, just a little tired," I said.
"You'll get used to it …" Ling Yue held my other arm, and many employees who were getting off work looked at us in surprise. Two beautiful presidents holding the same man, and he was a mere department manager. The world had changed completely.
"Where's Qin Yun?" I asked.
"She's waiting for us downstairs. Shall we go home and eat?
Bing Cha, Xiangxiang, and the others are waiting for us … "
"Mn."
… …
We went downstairs, and Qin Yun drove back to the workshop. When we returned, Bing Cha and the other girls surrounded us and asked how the board meeting went, and if the old guys made things difficult for us.
Ling Xue said confidently, "Don't worry, it was a piece of cake."
In reality, it wasn't so easy. Ling Xue didn't come out of the office for the entire afternoon. With her personality, she would've spent the entire afternoon in my office if she had nothing to do.
Ling Yue said, "It shouldn't be that busy after we sort out our work. In the past, dad used to work alone, but now Xue 'er, Scholar, and Sister Qin Yun will share the burden. It won't be too tiring."
Ling Yue's eyes turned red. "Dad pushed himself too hard in the past, and we didn't know how to share the burden at all …"
Ling Xue's eyes were red as well. The two sisters hadn't gotten over the grief of losing their father yet.
Bing Cha saw that the situation was bad and immediately said, "Alright, let's eat first. The chef steamed delicious crabs today!
Also, there's Scholar's favorite Spicy Boiled Fish. It's delicious … "
I smiled and pulled Ling Xue to sit down.
Bing Cha asked, "What's Scholar's job?
Is he tired? "
"Branch manager. It's okay, but it's a bit complicated, and the skills are too high …"
Qin Yun smiled. "I believe you can do it."
Bing Cha thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll be Scholar's assistant secretary.
Four people will share the burden, 25% each. Five people, 20% each … "
Ling Yue was surprised and her mouth fell open. "No way?
The daughter of the Xu family in Hangzhou came to Snow Moon to be an assistant secretary. I'm afraid that Uncle Xu will challenge Bluestar if he finds out … "
Bing Cha smiled. "It's fine. Dad always wants me to intern. Now that a large company like Bluestar is willing to hire me, he'll be more than happy!"
Ling Xue asked, "Scholar, do you want this assistant who can go to heaven and earth?"
I didn't know what to say. I stared at Bing Cha and didn't know what to say.
Qin Yun smiled. "Alright, it's good that Bing Cha goes to Scholar's department. After all, both Ling Xue and Ling Yue have studied management. Scholar doesn't, and Bing Cha understands management. With her there, Scholar won't panic, right?"
Ling Xue smiled. "Alright, Bluestar will hire Xu Bing as the assistant to the CEO's assistant …"
"Hoho, how much is the salary?
I have to drive to work, and gas is expensive. There's also the phone bill, etc. Anyway … the salary can't be low … "
"Hmm …" Ling Xue thought for a moment and said, "The monthly salary is 7000, the average salary in Shanghai. Are you satisfied?"
"It's not enough gas …" Bing Cha said unhappily.
I glared at him. "Do you drive around the world all day?
Not enough gas? Let's go for 7000. Do you want to work or not? "
"Yes …" Bing Cha gave in.
… …
Ling Xue coughed and said, "Scholar is very tired today. Bing Cha, stop teasing him. Let's eat first. Scholar didn't have a good lunch …"
"Hmm?" Bing Cha was puzzled for a few seconds, but didn't say anything.
I sat down and picked up a few pieces of delicious fish for Ling Xue. "Here, have some.
And you, Ling Yue, you too. How can you win without eating? "
The two girls frowned. "But … I don't really want to eat …"
"Uncle Ling Tian will be watching you two from heaven. He'll be heartbroken if he sees you two getting thinner day by day!" I paused and added, "Even if he doesn't feel heartbroken, I will."
Ling Xue looked up at me and gave me a smile. I was very happy. This was the first time I saw her smile from the bottom of her heart in three days.
… …
Summer said, "Hurry up and eat. Go online and sign up for WSL?
Also, the China server has been turned upside down. "
"What do you mean by turned upside down?"
I frowned. I hadn't been online for three days and three nights. Did something really happen?
