Chapter 43 chapter 2

When Xu Huaying was about to get off work in the afternoon, Xu Huaying returned to the office. Her expression was the same as usual, but naturally no one in the entire office area dared to show off. Xu Huaying asked Shao Yimin to notify several managers to go to the conference room for a meeting.As usual, she handled several store management tasks, and did not talk about the changes in Fenghua Group at all. She only appointed Manager Huang of the Finance Department to handle the company's daily administrative affairs when she was away.This decision is not surprising, because Manager Huang is very careful and responsible, and he is also the oldest senior executive in the company.

After the meeting was over, Shao Yimin went out to prepare the meeting minutes for distribution, and Xu Huaying called the internal line to let her in. Xu Huaying's office is not luxuriously decorated, with a bit of femininity in it. It is covered with wool carpets and beige sofas. The crystal vases on the coffee table are filled with fresh flowers all the year round. At this time, they are filled with perfume lilies.The desk is not the size of a so-called executive desk that many people like, and there are photos of their family of three on it. Xu Huaying signaled Shao Yimin to sit down.At this moment, the two of them were very close, and Shao Yimin noticed that her makeup was a little off, showing exhaustion after all.

"I handled things well in the afternoon. Xiao Shao, how long have you been working in the company?" "It will be eleven months at the end of the month." "What do you think about your current job?" "I've learned a lot and will try to do better." "During the interview, I actually didn't ask a question because I didn't think it was important at the time." She flipped through the file in her hand, "But now, I think it's necessary to ask. You graduated from a teacher's training school, and your professional grades are very good. Why didn't you become a teacher, but chose to apply for a secretary position?"

"After the teaching practice, I feel that my personality is more suitable for being responsible for things, but not for being responsible for people, so I want to try other jobs." Xu Huaying smiled: "As I thought, you didn't regard this job as the career you plan to pursue all the time. I also agree with young people to try more career directions before deciding on their own choice. But have you ever thought about it? In the end, there is not much difference between being responsible for things and being responsible for people.” It's too light for the boss to have the heart to talk about this with him in the face of major events at the moment.

But she knew that Mr. Xu's behavior was definitely not just trying to show his composure. "I will think carefully about what you said." "Xiao Shao, as far as the secretarial work is concerned, you have indeed done your job well, and you have done a great job, which reassures me more than every secretary I have used before. But your ability and direction of effort should not only be A secretary. I appreciate your attitude towards work, and I can see your potential. I think your only problem may be that you must determine your goals and devote yourself wholeheartedly. Many things are not enough to just do your job well .”

This statement seems to have a critical meaning.Shao Yimin thought that this was the first time someone directly pointed out that her alienation was not limited to interpersonal communication.She has always been focused, but she really can't be said to be devoted. Whether it is work or other things, she keeps a distance. "Do you have clear goals for the future?" She hesitated for a moment: "I have some plans, but I always feel that the plans cannot keep up with the changes." "The changes in life are likely to be greater than one's imagination. Only by setting goals can we maintain a better ability to cope with changes."

Shao Yimin didn't know what she meant by saying this at this time, so she just nodded and kept listening. "You should know a little bit about the affairs of the group company. I have obtained the authorization from Mr. Wang this afternoon, and I plan to represent him as the chairman of the board. There will be a very difficult situation waiting for me. Maybe I won't be able to take care of Shenghua during this period of time, but luckily Shenghua is already on track." Xu Huaying picked up the cigarette case and put it down. She usually smokes, but she is quite restrained. "Now I have two options for you. One is to stay here. I will let you follow the American jeans brand that the company plans to represent next." Manager Ma will follow up and discuss agency matters; the other is to go with me to the group and be my assistant. The starting treatment is the same, you can think about it carefully, and give me an answer tomorrow."

Shao Yimin was very surprised.If you are in charge of a brand alone, it means that you may be promoted to a brand manager in the next step. It is extremely rare for an employee who has just joined the company for less than a year to get such an opportunity. It can be regarded as a career rather than the beginning of a career.And if you follow the boss to the group, just think about the current situation there, you will know that it will be a big challenge. "I can see that you should be the kind of person who has goals, but now you have to choose where to put your goals, so I hope you will think about it carefully." Xu Huaying closed the laptop in front of him casually, "However, the premise is still commitment, regardless of Whichever position you take is different from the secretary you are doing now, I believe you can do well as long as you put in the effort."

Walking out of the office building, it was already dark. Shao Yimin walked towards the station, thinking about what the boss said just now, and unexpectedly remembered what a person said to her a long time ago: Even if it is purely for happiness, it is easier to achieve the goal if both parties are involved . Xu Huaying didn't make any promises to her, but a few words did shock her. Of course she understands that the boss can directly recruit a secretary to accompany her to the group company. If she doesn't want to find another job, she can only follow her honestly.But she offers a choice, two opportunities to be precise.Although such an opportunity can be said to be inseparable from her own struggle, but this is the first time she can calmly make her own choice.

Standing next to the bus stop sign, Shao Yimin subconsciously looked up at the sky. On a clear night in early summer in the city, the sky was dark. There is no more starlight from that night. If she only wanted to leave, how could she completely get out of her inner predicament. She made up her mind almost instantly, and when she went to work the next day, she formally replied to her boss that she was willing to go to the group company with her as her assistant.
