At this moment, the leader of the meeting said to Fang Xiaogang,"Mr. Fang, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm the general manager of our branch, Feng Xingmo. You can call me Simon. You should have met Sophia, the HR manager, and Jordan, the sales manager.”He pointed at Sofia and Boss Ma.
"Everyone, Mr. Fang's position in our company is temporarily arranged by us. The human resources are directly handled by the headquarters, so please respect and cooperate with Mr. Fang's work.”President Feng continued to explain Fang Xiaogang's special status to everyone present.
Then, he stood up and finally began to introduce the beauty behind him to everyone."Second, this is Mr. Fang's personal secretary, Miss Jin, who was transferred from New York by the headquarters. Miss Jin, please introduce yourself.”
Fang Xiaogang finally understood why she was smiling at him. The business manager, President Ma, took the lead and clapped. The others present also applauded. They looked at her and Fang Xiaogang with envy.
Miss Jin quickly glanced at Fang Xiaogang and cleared her throat."Dear colleagues, my name is Kingshirley. The headquarters urgently transferred me here because they hope that I can help Mr. Fang familiarize himself with the work as soon as possible. I hope that everyone will support me in the future. I hope that Mr. Fang will take care of me in the future.”She bowed to Fang Xiaogang at the end.
"Is Miss Jin Chinese?" Manager Feng asked.”
"Of course," she replied. Oh, I was adopted by a British Chinese when I was young, so I mainly work under an English name. But I'm definitely Chinese. I have Chinese nationality.”
Manager Feng nodded and asked,"Mr. Fang, do you have anything to say?"
"I don't have anything to say. I'm not familiar with the job yet.”he said awkwardly.
Then, President Feng announced the end of the meeting. The people sitting nodded at Fang Xiaogang and left. President Feng, Miss Jin, and Fang Xiaogang went to his new consultant office together. Miss Jin's luggage had been placed in a corner.
"Mr. Fang, are you satisfied with the office?" President Feng asked after he came in and looked around.”
"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. Should I also come up with an English name? I feel a little awkward if you keep calling me mister.”
"I'm still uncomfortable with having an English name. It's neither western nor old-fashioned." You can do it yourself. By the way, they proposed to hold a welcome party for you. If you agree, why don't we organize it?”
" No, no. I'd better finish my work first. I'm a little..." Fang Xiaogang couldn't stand the kind of treatment.
"Getting to know your colleagues is also for the sake of a better job," Jin Xueli interjected.”
" That's right." Manager Feng said," Now that the company has two higher-ups, you have to give your subordinates a chance to flatter them. Only then can you observe them. Besides, there was another good-looking person today. The young men in the company would definitely be eager to hold a welcome party.”
"I'm just a consultant…right?”he said hesitantly.
"We shouldn't belittle ourselves. The head office's leaders have always been right. I believe that Mr. Fang's arrival will definitely be of great use. Then I'll go back to work first. We'll contact each other by email.”President Feng left after saying that.
As soon as he left, Jin Xueli bowed to Fang Xiaogang and apologized,""I'm sorry, boss. The headquarters sent me your photo, but I didn't recognize it just now.”
"It's okay. There's always a difference between a photo and a person. Besides, I'm not photogenic.”"You called me boss?" he asked with a smile.”
"Yes, I am." "I'm your personal secretary, so you're my boss. Actually, I only need to listen to your arrangements here. I don't need to care about anyone else's orders."”
"Alright, I just don't know what kind of business project the company needs my advice on. She felt that it was quite a crime to receive such good treatment without doing anything.”Fang Xiaogang sat on his chair with a bitter smile.
When she heard that, she suddenly became happy and said,"I'll contact the headquarters and then ask CEO Feng for information.”As she spoke, she began to take out something from her bag. Laptops, notebooks, mice, power supplies…everything was placed on her desk.
She took her big suitcase and placed it on the table. As soon as she opened it, some cosmetics and a few sets of underwear slipped out. Fang Xiaogang saw them all. Shirley blushed and quickly turned the box 90 degrees to block his view with the lid. Then, she put everything that fell out into the box, leaving only a few small bottles in English on the table.
Then, she took out a small photo frame and placed it solemnly on the corner of the table. "What photo is it? Can I see it?" Fang Xiaogang couldn't help asking.”
Xue Li hesitated for a moment before saying,""Alright, it's a photo of me when I was young.”She turned the photo on the table for him to see. Inside was a group photo: A red-dressed girl was sitting under the park's slide with a five-year-old child in her arms. It was not particularly clear, but the overall temperament of the red-dressed girl carried an otherworldly beauty.
"That red dress looks good on you.”Fang Xiaogang said as he watched from afar.
"Of course I'm that little girl! I told you it was a photo of me when I was young.”Shirley said unhappily, but soon realized that he was saying that on purpose. She turned the photo back to him in a fit of pique.
"Is the one in red your mother? As beautiful as you." he asked.
"I'm not as pretty as her." Shirley reached out and touched the glass of the photo frame."She is my benefactor and also my teacher.……Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's get to work." She closed the box and placed it in the corner. She opened her laptop and started to get busy.
She stared at the screen, her white and slender fingers dancing on the keyboard and mouse. Her serious side profile was clean and beautiful, and it was difficult for Fang Xiaogang not to steal a glance at her. After tapping his nails on the table for a while, he decided to go to the pantry to get something to drink.
There were two female employees in their twenties resting and chatting in the pantry. They were whispering to each other, but they couldn't hear anything. One of them was bare-legged and the other was low-cut.
Fang Xiao had just poured a cup of coffee from the automatic coffee machine. He thought about it and brought a cup of coffee for Shirley, as well as coffee partners and sugar.
When he returned to the office, Shirley saw that he had brought coffee in and said angrily,"Boss, why don't you tell me about this? Thisismyjob.”
He explained,"I have nothing to do. Aren't you busy?"”
She took the coffee and said,"Please let me come next time. Just let me know if you need anything."”
“OK，OK。Youhavemyword.”he replied with a smile.
She was amused by this English sentence. She stood up and stretched. She picked up her coffee and said,"Boss, the headquarters will reply to me immediately about which cases I need you to participate in.”She leaned against the table and added creamer and sugar to the coffee. Her curves were as beautiful as a statue.
"Boss, I need to find a place to live. Do you have any good suggestions?”she asked as she held the coffee.
"After work, I'll accompany you to the agency to look for her.”
"Thank you so much," she said with a smile.”Suddenly, her laptop rang. She sat back and looked at the screen. She said to him,"I'll go and ask CEO Feng for the CASE information.”
Fifteen minutes later, she returned with three files, two in Chinese and one in English. She handed the two Chinese to Fang Xiaogang and said,""This is the CASE of the two companies 'recent decisions. This is the summary. The details have been sent to the email.”
"What's that in your hand?" he asked.
"This is another one, but I'll make it into Chinese first before giving it to you.”
Thus, they began to work on their own.
The first project that he handed over was the acquisition of Jiangnan Electromechanical from Changjiang Electromechanical. The summary of the information showed that Fang Xiaogang's group company controlled 16% and 47% of the two companies respectively. The decision to be made was whether we would support the acquisition. There were dozens of photos of the two companies and financial data for the last five years.
Fang Xiaogang was confused. He opened the email system and saw a long file attachment, many of which were compressed packages. He downloaded it locally and opened it. There were the products, prices, profits, and customer information of the two factories. There were also details of their workers 'salaries, water and electricity rent, and office supplies. Just looking at the data would take a few days. He would have to compare, study, and make a consultant's suggestion for the final decision. He realized that this job was indeed important and not easy. The key was that he had no experience and did not know what data was valuable or what changes in the data could explain. However, he became excited and downloaded all the files to study them. The only sound left in the office was the occasional clicking of the mouse and keyboard.
Before they knew it, it was already five o'clock. President Ma, Jordan, carried his bag and left work. He passed by their office door and greeted them with a smile. "Mr. Fang, don't tell me you're going to work overtime on your first day?”he said.
"I'm halfway through, I'll leave after I'm done," Fang Xiaogang said helplessly.”
After Boss Ma left, he saw that she was still busy and asked,"Shirley, when do you plan to get off work?”
"There's no hurry," she said without looking up. I'm halfway done now. I'll leave after I'm done.”
So they continued to work. It was already past six o'clock when his wife called.
"Hey, how was work today?"
"Uh, it's nothing bad. I just started working and I'm studying the information.”
"What time will you be back today?"
"That's hard to say."
"Alright, your salary is so high. It's only right for you to work hard. Be careful on your way back tonight." Yang Dan said.
"Yes." After hanging up, he continued reading the information. "Boss, it's so late. Is your family rushing you?" Shirley asked.”
"It's okay, my wife. She also told me to work hard.”he said with a smile.
"Let's get off work today after I finish translating this picture into Chinese.”she said.
"I'm fine. Where are you staying tonight? We still have to find an agent to look at the house."
"I'll just stay in a hotel. It's fine to find a house another day.”
"That's fine too. We'll make an appointment with the agent early tomorrow morning.”
As he continued to read the documents, Fang Xiaogang gradually felt the preciousness of the information in these documents. In Changjiang Electromechanical, which held 47% of the shares, the purchase date of the main machinery and equipment, the employees 'opinions of the leaders, the nepotism of the main leaders, and the hygiene conditions of the toilets were all explained in different documents. He felt that there must be a spy sent by their company in this company. In the information of Jiangnan Mechanical and Electric Company, which held 16% of the shares, there was also a lot of information that people who did not work there could not possibly know.
With such detailed information, it was not difficult to make a comprehensive judgment. It was just that there was no absolute answer to whether or not to support the merger of the two companies.
"Boss, I'm done. Do you think we should get off work?”Xue Li asked.
"Shirley, come and take a look at my case. I want to hear your opinion." He called her over.
She put down the things in her hands and walked to Fang Xiaogang's seat. She leaned over the desk and clicked the mouse to read the information.
He took a step back in his office chair so that it was convenient for her to read the documents. There was no sound from outside the office. The corridor outside the office was dark.
Xue Li's sweet scent wafted over. She was flipping through a few reports that he didn't understand just now. As the mouse clicked, Jue's small and round butt, which was not far from his left, shook slightly.
"There's too much information here. It's hard to judge at the moment.”She looked at it for a while and said,"I'll go back and take a look. I'll give you my opinion tomorrow."”She straightened up after saying that.
"Okay, I actually have a vague idea, but I'm not sure. Let's discuss this case tomorrow. There was no harm in stopping the Chinese version for a while.”Fang Xiaogang said,"Then let's get off work together."”
Jin Xueli packed her luggage while he waited for her at the side. Shirley said,"Boss, you can get off work first. I'll go find a hotel myself."”
"You just came from New York today?" he asked.
"Yes, I arrived today. JFK Airport's UM298 was late. He had planned to arrive at the company in the morning.”She took out a boarding pass in embarrassment.
"Why did you give me a personal secretary? It feels too grand." He couldn't help but say.
"This is the decision of the headquarters.”she said.
"Where is your headquarters?"
"This…I'm not sure either. I'm just a small employee." she replied.
"You don't know about this? Then do you know what you're going to eat tonight? You only had a sandwich for lunch. You must be hungry.”he asked with a smile.
"Uhh." She pulled her suitcase and didn't know what to say.
"I want to thank you for coming all the way here to help me. Would you do me the honor of treating me to dinner?" Fang Xiaogang asked.
"Of course, that's what I want. But boss, won't your family be anxious?”she said with a smile.
"We have to eat. There's no one at home to cook. Let's go." He helped Shirley push her luggage out of the office.
There were only three or four people working overtime in the company. He didn't know anyone anyway, so he went downstairs to take a taxi to eat.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked in the car.
"Mutton hotpot." she said with a smile.
"Alright, I happen to know a restaurant that sells Beijing cuisine. They also have Arctic Ocean and chives.”
The car drove into the depths of an alley. There was a copper nest, charcoal barbecue, and a large pot of mutton. It was indeed authentic and delicious. The owner of the restaurant was a young man from Beijing. He knew Fang Xiaogang and had seen him bring girls here to eat mutton, but he had never seen anything like this.
Taking advantage of the gap when Fang Xiao came to the counter to take the napkin, he winked and asked in a low voice,"Hey, not bad. Where did you meet him?”
"We just met today."
"Not bad.”He looked at the aviation label on her Rimowa suitcase."Where did you get it from?"
"New York."
