Chapter 47 Chapter 44 Surprise Change

DB's performance in China has regressed badly, and employee morale is low. The annual employee satisfaction survey report shows that employees are extremely dissatisfied with the length of time it takes for the bosses to make decisions and the complexity of the company's internal processes. Compared with the market benchmark, this item ranks first; Doubts about the ability to perform are ranked second in the loss of points; thinking that senior management does not respect employees ranks third in the loss of points. This is the worst year in the annual employee satisfaction survey since DB entered China.

At this time, the company sent a new HR director ROY·C from the United States, and there was a stream of famous Chinese songs.Qu Luoyi and Tony Lin are about the same age, thirty-five or sixteen years old. In Liszt's words, they are both from the 1970s. The company decided that Qu Luoyi would be in charge of organizational strategy, training, and development; Liszt was left with HR's daily administrative affairs, responsible for recruitment, salary, and employee relations—it was self-evident which one was more important. Although Liszt was a little unhappy, but he was also thinking about it very much. Sooner or later, he will retire. Qu Luoyi will take over the job in his hands sooner or later and completely replace Liszt.

Qu Luoyi gives people the impression that he is neither a good person nor a bad person. He has a double doctorate from Stanford and Harvard on his back, and his IQ is really high. Many people are full of expectations for him. Directors like Tony Lin are watching him carefully. every move. On the one hand, Qu Luoyi recruited the organizational strategy manager and training manager with ping-pong-pong, as if she was ready to do something; Qu Luoyi usually sees several managers under Liszt, and always greets them in a friendly manner, which makes Tong Jiaming, who wants to get close to him, hesitant and uncertain, Wang Hong is more silent, and Lala is very nervous. Confused, not knowing where to stand.

One day, two fellow Americans, Liszt and Qu Luoyi, closed the door and chatted for a long time. After Liszt returned to his office, he was still immersed in excitement, pacing back and forth. Lala just arrived in Shanghai that day, and came to greet Liszt. Lao Li still had a lot of trust in Lala's character, so he grabbed Lala and said with emotion that it was the first time that he wanted to be the HR director so seriously in the years since he came to China. He has to talk with the new HR directors Qu Luoyi and He Haode about his responsibilities. He must coach Roger well. If necessary, the company should consider firing the current sales VP Roger and finance VP Kirby.

Lala was shocked when she heard this. She already felt that He Haode has become more and more unwilling to make decisions recently, and there must be something hidden behind it. Isn't it just embarrassing him to tell him this? This is something that has no basis for SOP, and Li Si This was the second time Tet had said in front of her that he would fire Roger and Kirby. Lala persuaded Liszt that this matter is no small matter, and the origin of Qu Luoyi is not clear to everyone, so it is better to be cautious.As for the sales VP "100,000" and the financial VP "Lao Ge", it's better to let Qu Luoyi and the person who sent him decide whether to keep these two VPs. Lala said: "Boss, you have been working in DB for so long. Why haven't you experienced anything? Who doesn't say you are a good person? Just let your merits and virtues be perfected to the end."

Liszt felt a little melancholy after hearing this, he patted Lala on the shoulder, and stopped clamoring to fire "Hundred Thousand" and "Lao Ge". He Haode knew that Lala had come to Shanghai, and immediately asked his assistant Rebecca to find Lala, asked her about her recent work situation, and gave some advice as usual. Lala secretly observed He Haode's complexion, and felt that he was not as tired as before, and his spirit seemed to be much better.Lala believes in feng shui, and she thinks that the company's business can do well only if the person in charge of the company has a good mood.In order to make He Haode happy, she told him her discovery, and He Haode really laughed heartily. He hadn't laughed like this for a while, which made Lala very happy.

He Haode unusually invited Lala to have lunch together. After the meal, he and Lala went for a walk on the nearby lawn. He didn't talk about work anymore, but only praised the pleasant weather in Shanghai in November.Lala took the opportunity to persuade her, "You should take more walks." Lala is very confused recently. There are various signs that Liszt's retirement will happen every minute. The new HR director Qu Luoyi is not sure what to do, while the old backer He Haode is as silent as an iceberg. Although she no longer blamed Wang Wei, she always treated him as if she was away. When Wang Wei called her at night, she was always in a low mood and unwilling to talk too much, which made Wang Wei feel bad.

Daisy is like a ticking time bomb that has not been eliminated. On the one hand, Wang Wei feels that he can't bear her, but on the other hand, he can't think of a suitable solution for a while, so he can't act rashly. Wang Wei hadn't seen Lala for half a month. He knew in advance that Lala would be in Shanghai that day, so he was very happy.Wang Wei's department had a vacancy for a community manager in Shenyang. He asked the manager of Peking University to interview a few applicants. He planned to bring Lala to Shenyang for an interview as soon as her work in Shanghai was over. Take the opportunity to let Lala relax.

Lala had nothing to say about this arrangement, since it was her job anyway, so the two flew from Shanghai to Shenyang together. The two got off the plane, and as soon as they crossed the corridor bridge, Lali yelled to go to the bathroom, and ran away in a hurry.Looking at their luggage, Wang Wei called back to Shanghai to ask Isabella what was urgent. Isabella said she didn't know, and it was said that the Asia-Pacific president "Carrot" suddenly came to the Shanghai office and brought a lot of senior officials. Wang Wei's heart tightened when he heard this. It was unprecedented for a high-ranking official to visit without notifying the director. What happened? He hung up the phone uneasily.

As soon as Lala came out of the bathroom, she saw Wang Wei standing there in a daze. When she approached, Wang Wei said, "Quickly turn on the phone and see if the company has sent you a text message." Lala took out her phone in surprise and turned it on. Before she could check the text message, a call came in. After listening to the other party say a few words, she hung up the line in a daze. Lala put down the phone, and Wang Wei asked, "A call from the company?" Lala looked at her watch and said simply: "The company fired He Haode, and just held a director-level meeting to announce it. In half an hour, it will be announced to all Chinese employees. We are afraid that we will not be able to catch up with the staff meeting. gone."

Wang Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Who gave you the information?" Lara said, "It wasn't Liszt who told me, but I can't be wrong." The two left the airport with their own thoughts, without talking all the way.As soon as he entered the Shenyang office, Wang Wei found a place to call Tony Lin, and Lala also found a room to call Liszt to inquire about it. Liszt said: "It was announced that He Haode was leaving, but it wasn't the company that fired him. It is said that he left voluntarily because of better development." Lara didn't know what to say. Liszt also said: "The company has already arranged a candidate to replace He Haode. It is Qi Haotian transferred from a European country in DB. He is a Belgian. Qi Haotian also came here with the Asia-Pacific president to meet with the Chinese employees today. That's all for the time being. .” Lala asked Liszt: "According to your opinion, did Qu Luoyi know about this in advance?" Liszt said: "He told me that he only found out about it last night. It looks like the truth." On the other end of the phone, Liszt wiped away the sweat in his heart as he spoke. Fortunately, he didn't hear Qu Luoyi's words to He Haode about firing Roger and Kirby. It's only been a few days. , Roger and Kirby had to stay well, but He Haode announced that he was leaving. Lala didn't know what Liszt was thinking about, so she just asked what she cared about: "Then what happened to Roger? How did he react when he heard about this matter?" Liszt said: "His position has not changed. He and Kirby only found out that He Haode was leaving today, so they were very surprised. I guess Roger is a little disappointed-generally the VP sent by the company to manage sales is from the future. As a backup candidate for the president, he had hoped to take over He Haode's class next spring. Now the company has sent a new president. The term of the new president is four years. Roger's dream of president is obviously gone. In front of the new president today, Roger His attitude became much more restrained; Kirby was very silent and refused to say a word." Lala said to herself, if "100,000" can be the president, it would be unreasonable. Lala thought about it and asked Liszt: "Won't Asia Pacific keep He Haode?" Liszt said: "I have retained him, but he insisted on leaving - this matter has been discussed for several months, but it is very confidential, and everyone does not know. It is estimated that the Asia-Pacific president did not support He Haode at work in the past. It is too late to regret it now, He Haode is still a very suitable candidate for the president in spite of the Chinese market! What a pity! Lala said in her heart, "It deserves it". Liszt said with emotion: "It's good to leave, this year's performance is too ugly, it's a mess, it's sad! What a pity!" Seeing that Liszt had no other news other than "it's a pity", Lala closed the line. She wandered around the world and did a random interview with Wang Wei. The two of them didn't have the heart to sum up the results with the regional manager of the North District. After saying hello, they hurriedly closed the booth and went back to their respective rooms in the hotel. Lala lay on the bed thinking for a long time, jumped up and called He Haode, his assistant Rebecca answered the phone, saying that he had gone away. Lala said, "Then when is it convenient for me to call him?" Rebecca said, "How about I tell him to call you back when he comes back?" Lara said, "Okay." Lala felt very irritable. She put on her coat and a big woolen scarf and walked out of the hotel alone. It was snowing heavily in Shenyang in November. After a while, she felt the phone vibrating in her coat pocket, and as soon as she picked it up, He Haode's voice came: "Lala?" In the heavy snow, Lala yelled "howard", but couldn't say anything more. She felt the warmth of the familiar baritone. He Haode said in Chinese: "Lala, I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you earlier. Actually, I hope I can tell you myself." Lara said, "I can understand." He Haode said: "I will leave you my email address, and after three months, I will call you." Lara stammered and said, "I don't know what to say now, this Ang's reaction is not professional, is it?" He Haode immediately said: "No, it won't. Lala, thank you for supporting my work all the time." Lala thought that she should thank He Haode for her training, but she couldn't say such words, and finally just asked: "Are you in Shanghai next week?" He Haode said: "I'm going back to New York for vacation right away, and I'm going back to Shanghai in two weeks. You can make arrangements, that's kind, come to Shanghai, let's meet." Lala promised to write it down, and said: "You already speak Chinese well, if you don't need it in the future, don't forget it." He Haode laughed heartily in the way of a big boss: "I will never forget, that would be too wasteful, I still remember you taught me to recognize those Chinese characters on the plane. I will not give up the Chinese market, Lala, Maybe soon I will be able to return to Shanghai." Lala doubted: "Didn't you go to a competitor's company? You signed a non-compete agreement with DB (a non-compete agreement refers to the relationship between a company and its high-level employees or employees who master the company's core technology and other commercial secrets." Agreement signed during the period, stipulating that after leaving the company, employees are not allowed to serve in rival companies for a certain period of time).” He Haode said: "Of course, my new employer will definitely not be a competitor of DB." He lowered his voice and switched to English: "Lala, for your information (let you know), I have not left the Asia Pacific, especially China. " After Lala answered the phone, she didn't want to take a walk anymore, so she immediately turned around and went back to the hotel.As soon as she entered the room, Lala threw off her coat and scarf and stepped on the carpet wearing only these socks. She went to the window and opened the heavy curtains to look out. There was still heavy snow dancing in the sky, real goose feather snow. Lala turned on the MP3 copied in "Xiao Hei", and Tong Ange's metal-like male voice covered her body like goose feather snowflakes: Why don't you let this dream, when you don't wake up, only you and me remain, until forever..... Lala thought that He Haode had not completed his four-year tenure, left DB early, left his cultivation, and had not had time to occupy the most favorable terrain in DB, it would be much more difficult in the future.Although the relationship with Liszt is very good now, he is also a person who is about to retire, and his position in the company is very weak, so he probably can't count on it. Lala was thinking about something, when Wang Wei came to ring the doorbell.She let people in and lazily went to make tea. The preoccupied Wang Wei asked as soon as he sat down, "Lala, He Haode didn't give you a word beforehand?" Without looking back, Lala said, "Why does he want to let me know? I'm not a 'radish', and he doesn't need my signature to agree to leave." Wang Wei ignored her bad attitude and asked, "How much do you know about the new president, Qi Haotian?" Lara said, "I knew he was Belgian, just like that great detective Polo." Wang Wei asked in surprise, "Which Polo?" Lala despised: "Scared, haven't you seen 'Death on the Nile'?" Wang Wei said: "I heard that before Qi Haotian came to our company, he was the sales head of a country in the Asia-Pacific region in ZM. The grade of ZM is far inferior to that of DB." Lala didn't answer his words, she put the brewed tea on the coffee table in front of Wang Wei, walked back and forth on the carpet by herself, and moved her slender arms vigorously. Wang Wei didn't bother to appreciate her arms, so he said, "Lala, your wings are already strong enough, don't flap them around." Lala snorted, and said gloatingly, "I don't care. I'm just a manager. I'm N levels away from the president. My immediate boss, Liszt, hasn't changed. The change of the president won't affect me." Me. My wings are not strong enough, so I will continue to raise them. You are different, you report directly to the president, and you are the emperor and the courtiers. You may be beating more drums in your heart at this moment!" Wang Weiyan said insincerely: "Why am I nervous, whoever will be the president needs to do a good job in sales!" Lala said triumphantly, "Anyway, it's much easier for a manager to find a job than for a director to find a job." Wang Wei said with a guilty conscience: "Yes! Maybe Qi Haotian is easier to communicate with than He Haode!" Lara smirked and said, "Maybe, he killed Roger and used you as a salesperson." What about the VP (Vice President of Sales).At that time, I will have to curry favor with VP Wang (Vice President Wang). " Wang Wei said casually: "Okay, if you have a good attitude, I can consider assigning you a good job." Lala immediately became upset when she heard this, and turned her face and said, "You must be careful to die in an ugly way! Maybe one day I'll fawn on Qi Haotian again." Wang Wei said: "Why are you so unkind! You see, I said that if I became a VP, I would promote you, but you said that if you flattered the boss, you would make me die ugly." Lala said: "I'm so unkind. If you want to talk about the corporate culture of a big company, I've seen one that advocates honesty and innovation. I've never seen a corporate culture in a big company that advocates kindness." Both of them were in a bad mood, Lala spoke as if she had been shot, and Wang Wei had no intention of coaxing her.The trip to Shenyang was full of confusion and melancholy.
