Chapter 12 11. The boss has the difficulties of the boss

Taking advantage of the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Lala took a good rest. Lala was mentally and physically ready for the interview on January 5th. She was like an arrow resting on a fully drawn bow, and when the time came, she would "swish" out and take McDavid from Shoot it right away.But on the afternoon of January 4th, Xiao Lie suddenly called and said that McDavid had been hospitalized for acute appendicitis, and the interview had to be PENDING. Lala suddenly felt that her foot was in the air, and all the energy she had suffocated was gone, and she didn't dare to let it go too thoroughly, because it was a bit uncertain about things like PENDING, anyway, there were fifteen buckets going up and down in her heart All hung in mid-air.In fact, the helplessness of "Cheetah" and Chen Jie did not lose to Lala.There is no way for people to get sick, and no one can blame them.Just wait, luckily appendicitis is just a minor operation.

Ross, the director of DB US Real Estate, was busy the day before, because the big holiday started on Christmas Eve, and his emails had already backlogged a lot. Taking the time to drink coffee early in the morning, Ross opened Outlook to receive emails. There was an email from Du Lala, and Rose knew that she probably sent an email because she had something to discuss, so she picked it out and replied first.Unexpectedly, with a "thump", the other end quickly came back. Because of the nature of his work, Ross is familiar with jet lag like three meals a day. He is used to sending emails on the same day, and he can receive a reply the next day at the earliest—unless it is pre-booked, the two parties are usually not online at the same time.Ross was a little surprised, and then opened Du Lala's email. In addition to the official reply, Du Lala asked casually at the end: Where are you now?what is your time?

Du Lala originally asked the question unintentionally, but Ross sensed that there was a natural concern in her words, and she was honest and sincere.Yankees are also human beings. Although they are not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as Italians, they have their own casual and friendly American style.Ross emailed back saying he was at home and what time it was in the morning.After speaking, he casually smiled.With this dozen smiling faces, OUTLOOK was turned into the taste of MSN. Sure enough, Lala replied: Then you are thirteen hours behind me. IT disabled MSN, no way. Ross heard her say that MSN cannot be used, and knowing that she was still in the office, he urged her: Hurry up and get off work, it's already 9 o'clock in the evening where you are.

Maggie quietly touched Zhou Jiuyi's side, and she didn't make much movement when she walked on the carpet. Her tiptoe was mainly to emphasize that she had a secret.Zhou Jiuyi's nails are a little bit bad recently, and he is concentrating on studying the instruction manual of an Amway vitamin, thinking about how to supplement himself, when Maggie suddenly floats over like a shadow, Zhou Jiuyi is really taken aback, she is surprised by Maggie's Showing off Xu Xuan was not satisfied, so he dragged his voice angrily: "Why, so excited? It's like a chicken blood!" Maggie was immersed in the excitement of mastering the secret, and she didn't care about the bloody words Zhou drunkenly used. She lowered her voice and reported: "Lala is hugging a foreigner warmly at the front desk! The foreigner is also very affectionate to her! They left and right. Stick it back!"

Zhou Jiuyi joked, "No one is sticking to you, why are you so excited!" Maggie waved her hand to stop Zhou's drunken interruption, and continued to describe the scene enthusiastically: "The foreigner is about 40 years old, very tall, 1.9 meters tall, and Lala can only stick to his face by standing on tiptoe!" Zhou Jiuyi suddenly came to her senses after hearing Maggie's words. She tugged Maggie's hand and said in a low voice, "That man is Ross! The real estate director of the US headquarters." When she said this, Maggie immediately remembered that a few days ago, Qi Haotian's assistant Rebecca was trying to find a good restaurant to make a reservation, saying that the US headquarters was coming, and Qi Haotian wanted to treat him to dinner.

Maggie wondered, "Why do Lara and Rose know each other so well?" Zhou Jiuyi inspired Maggie: "You still don't understand, what does the real estate department do? It's in charge of DB's global properties! I heard from Rebecca that when Lala presided over the decoration of the Shanghai office, Ross shouldn't be too satisfied with her." Oh, but he praised Lala greatly in front of the president at that time, He Haode, and he praised Lala so much that he said something from the bottom of his heart, not an official tone at all!" Maggie opened her mouth and said "oh", then nodded thoughtfully.Zhou Jiuyi also nodded meaningfully.

Zhou Jiuyi guessed right, it was Rose who embraced Du Lala warmly.As far as the frustrated Du Lala is concerned, the reason for the warm embrace is not only that they are good friends with each other, but also that they have found the organization again after being separated for a long time.Rose's appearance as a living person touched the good old days in her heart. Lala's hug brought out repressed emotions, and Rose felt extra awareness besides the normal joy. Somehow, his body and emotions responded immediately. They catered to each other with sincerity and tacit understanding, and there were a little more rounds of face-to-face than usual.

Qi Haotian invited Ross to lunch, accompanied by Qu Luoyi, and Du Lala also went with him. Du Lala was able to attend because the purpose of Rose's visit this time was to discuss another renovation project that the Shanghai Office is about to face, and she was obliged to do so.Thinking of this, Lala felt a little dazed, as time flies by, and the fixed assets of the Shanghai office are about to complete a round of depreciation. The place where Qi Haotian treated guests was a well-known western restaurant in Shanghai. Apart from the food and class, it was also visited by some mainstream celebrities from time to time.On the street in front of the restaurant are old houses left over from the old concession, and the neighbor is the consulate of a certain European country in Shanghai.No matter how big Shanghai is or how traffic jams are, the streets are always quiet and calmly covered with sycamores, and the time flies by.

After everyone sat down, Rose smiled and said, "Lala, please help me, I don't understand this, so I'll let you do it all." Lala is a bit embarrassed, it's too extravagant here, let's put it this way, if you only have 10 million assets, you don't need to come here, so as not to be ridiculed--she has never been here, and as the organization development manager Zhu Qidong commented on her, the so-called "Luxury" was grafted to her the day after tomorrow. Even though she has learned all kinds of knowledge about luxury goods, she will always lack the talent to love luxury goods.

Lala asked the boss Qu Luoyi for help in embarrassment: "ROY, I am not familiar with this place." In the end, Qu Luoyi made the decision for Ross.Lala was embarrassed to copy Qu Luoyi, so she had to order two dishes from TO START WITH and MAIN COURSE, which can be roughly guessed by the name of the dish. After the waiter reported the names of the dishes ordered by each guest, Qu Luoyi asked Lala with concern: "Don't you want desserts? Their desserts are very good." Lala was a little embarrassed, and said with excuses: "I'm controlling my diet and don't eat desserts." She suddenly remembered that when Wang Wei invited her to go clubbing, she couldn't answer when asked whether he wanted dark beer or white beer.Lala couldn't help feeling very strange to herself, why after so many years, she still didn't know how to drink or cook, and she didn't make any progress.

Ross and Qu Luoyi are both Yankees. Although Qi Haotian is Belgian, he received higher education in the United States. He speaks English better than his mother tongue. The three men chatted in a good mood. It's not the same as the one spoken by the lesbians. It seems to sound a lot more pleasant, but it's also obviously a lot harder to understand. Maybe that's the real English. The weather was rare, and they sat outdoors in front of the restaurant to enjoy the winter sunshine and exquisite food. Lala was putting a mouthful of soup into her mouth, when Ross turned around and asked her a question in real English, Lala was startled, almost choked, and said "I BEG YOUR PARDON" in embarrassment (unintelligible, please Say it again). After two rounds of "PARDON", Lala didn't dare to concentrate on eating. That afternoon, after returning to the office, Ross, Qi Haotian, and Qu Luoyi closed the door to roughly discuss the plan for the new DB Shanghai office. How's the stability?" Qu Luoyi didn't think about this issue at all, because she always subconsciously felt that whether the administrative manager Du Lala changed was "not a problem". The difficulty is normal, theoretically speaking, it is a stage where the personnel are relatively stable." Ross didn't think so. He vaguely felt a little bit of grievance and depression in Du Lala's hug, but he didn't know where the problem was.If it were a mediocre one, it would be fine if he was aggrieved and depressed, but this one is capable, and the momentum of the Chinese economy is so good, there is no shortage of talents!If you don't keep it all together, you won't stay here, you have your own place to stay, and now you are in the middle of hiring someone. It's not good for Ross to ask too much about the personnel issues of Qu Luoyi's team, but he has to say - Rose's inaction back then caused Ross quite a headache for several months.Suffering from being unable to promote the powerful Rose, as a last resort, Ross wrote emails to He Haode, the then president of DB China, and Li Szt, the HR director, pointing out various inappropriateness in the project. He didn’t let go until DB China replaced Du Lala in charge of the project. Come on. Ross thought for a while, and asked Qi Haotian and Qu Luoyi if they knew about roses?Neither of them knew very well. Rose explained that Rose was Du Lala's predecessor. In DB China's last round of renovation project, "SHE DID NOTHING (she didn't do anything)", Rose emphasized his dissatisfaction with Rose. After introducing the passive situation at that time in a few words, Ross straightforwardly summarized the result of having to temporarily assign Du Lala to rush into battle: "WE WERE LUCKY. SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB." (We were lucky, she did the job beautifully). Both Qi Haotian and Qu Luoyi are extremely smart people, they understand why Ross emphasizes keeping Du Lala, and as long as they really want to keep someone, they have a lot of ways. Qu Luoyi first thanked Rose for letting him know the previous story, and then said that it happened to be a year-end performance evaluation, and she would immediately use this opportunity to communicate with Du Lala to find out what support she needs and ensure that she has sufficient resources. If Ross only vaguely sensed that Du Lala was not in a good mood at the beginning, at this moment he had already felt that the root cause was mostly in Qu Luoyi. Puzzled, Qi Haotian noticed his reaction from the sidelines. Qi Haotian and Ross are already familiar. After thinking about it, he thinks that Ross is from the US headquarters after all, so it's not appropriate to give him a boring gourd; besides, more than a year ago, Dai Xi sent mass emails to complain to DB Asia Pacific, which caused a lot of trouble. Everyone knows about Wei's case, and Ross must have heard about it to some extent—so, Qi Haotian simply took the initiative to briefly introduce the matter of Wang Wei's departure to Ross, and finally he said: "Before Daisy left, she claimed that Wang Wei and Du La The relationship between Lala and Lala is not ordinary -- this makes Qu Luoyi have to reserve the degree of reuse of Du Lala, I think Qu Luoyi's worries are also reasonable." Ross had indeed heard about Wang Wei's departure, but he didn't expect Du Lala to be involved!It was a big upset for him.Ross couldn't react for a while, and asked Qi Haotian in surprise, "Did Wang Wei resign on his own initiative?" Qi Haotian recalled: "On the initiative -- but even if he doesn't resign, it's only a matter of time before he leaves. At that time, his contract with the company was due to expire in half a year. If he refused to leave immediately, the contract expired." We will not renew the contract with him in the future--after all, he is to blame for expense management, and the relationship with Daisy is especially bad. If he stays, it is not good for the company, customers or team--someone checked the local area at that time The court anonymously reported Qiu Jieke, a regional manager under Wang Wei. This incident was 10% done by Dai Xi. The procuratorate took Qiu Jieke in for nearly 20 hours before releasing him. Fortunately, no client was involved, otherwise the company would be passive , who would dare to communicate with us in the future! It can be said that if Wang Wei does not leave, this matter will never end." Ross nodded in agreement, "Sensible resignation." Qi Haotian also smiled and said: "Yeah, he walked with a gentleman's demeanor. He is a director himself, so he should be able to understand the responsibilities of a manager. Once Wang Wei resigns, Dai Xi has nothing to do. Embarrassing, the people below are also interested in doing sales." Rose tentatively asked, "Wang Wei has been away for a year, is there any discomfort with us?" Qi Haotian explained: "There is no positive unhappiness. In the first six months after Wang Wei left DB, there was no news at all. No one knew where he went. It was like disappearing from the world. However, about two or three months ago, I heard that Said that he showed up again and started a company with Qiu Jieke. The products they made competed with ours, and they pulled a few of us over. Of course, most of these people did not do well with us-but In short, there are taboos. After all, he has served in DB for many years, and it is natural for him to leave so unhappy and feel resentful." Ross nodded in understanding, and returned to the topic of concern: "Does Du Lala and Wang Wei still maintain a close relationship?" Qi Haotian didn't care about Du Lala's current situation, so he couldn't say anything for a while, so he turned his face to Qu Luoyi.Qu Luoyi didn't speak at first, but when Qi Haotian signaled him to answer, she said, "I don't know - after all, this is her private matter, so it's not easy to ask. She is still unmarried, and I haven't heard of any public date. Liszt Before I left, I mentioned that Du Lala really wanted to develop in HR—frankly speaking, there was nothing unsatisfactory about her work performance, but firstly, she had a shallow foundation in HR, and secondly, she and Wang Wei We can't be sure about the relationship, and there are always taboos - it's not convenient for me to give her the opportunity to do too much in HR, so I can only let her remain as an administrative manager. Liszt originally assigned her to be responsible for the recruitment of some ordinary positions. She retained that part of her duties." People have already talked about this point, so it's hard for Ross to say more, otherwise he just doesn't know what's interesting.Besides, in a different place, Ross feels that if he is Qu Luoyi, Du Lala is not married, and his relationship partner is not clear, the suspicion of being related to Wang Wei will not be cleared away. Different treatment. Rose thought that it was not Du Lala's fault that she fell in love with Wang Wei; on second thought, it was not Qu Luoyi's fault to refrigerate Du Lala either - the former is a human right, and the latter is a duty. Ross could only sincerely express to Qu Luoyi: "FULLY UNDERSTAND (completely understand)." Before leaving, Rose seriously raised another possibility. He said: "Wang Wei has been away from DB for more than a year. This time is not too short. If Du Lala and him still maintain a close relationship, given their age , according to the Chinese custom, shouldn’t it be time to get married? At least there will be close contacts? It will be difficult to conceal people’s eyes and ears, instead of being invisible like now-could they have been close once, but now they are like passers-by? " Qu Luoyi let out an "uh", shrugged and said, "It's also possible." Qi Haotian never took Du Lala's matter too seriously, even though he heard that she might have something to do with Wang Wei.After all, she's just a small administrative manager, and it's not her turn to take up space in Qi Haotian's complicated brain. Until the end of last year, when Qi Haotian went to Guangzhou to inspect the market, Du Lala's smartness and decentness left a good personal impression on him.Later, when Qi Haotian returned to Shanghai and saw Qu Luoyi, he remembered that Du Lala had reported to him, so he praised Du Lala a few words to him, which meant that he was a talented person, and it was a kind of statement about Du Lala. Asking Ross to mention this made Qi Haotian think of his trip to Guangzhou more than a month ago.After sending Ross away, Qi Haotian expressed his opinion to Qu Luoyi again: "Du Lala is not bad, she is at this level, and she knows only a few things. If you use this person within a certain range, it's probably not a big problem." Qu Luoyi agreed, "I'll think about how to make good use of her later on."
