Guan Xi walked out of the office building.
Changlefang is already very old. Looking around, the tube towers are densely packed together, and the early autumn air is filled with the smell of bacon and fish.
Elderly people in Yuecheng are used to marinating and drying cured meat on their balconies. This habit is rare in today's urban life, and in Changlefang, almost every household has traces of drying on the balcony.
In Changlefang, there are almost no young people.
There are only indigenous people, no young people, and no immigrants - which means there is almost no decent business here. There are not even a few small restaurants. Guan Xi looked at each one, and soon his eyes were fixed on a small restaurant selling noodle soup.
She opened the old aluminum door and walked straight to the table in the corner.
The back view of a man wearing a black polo shirt with very short hair. There was a bowl of noodles in front of him.
Guan Xi pulled out his chair and sat opposite the man.
"Yuben," she said.
…
Yu Ben paused with his chopsticks. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw the person clearly. His expression instantly turned cold.
Guan Xi waited for a while, and then said: "The noodle soup in Changlefang is not very good, but the noodles are of northern taste."
The words "Northern taste" stopped Yu Ben from getting up and leaving.
Yu Ben is from the north. If it weren't for Shi Yuan, he wouldn't be working in the south.
The boss came over to greet him, but the two of them said nothing.
Guan Xi ordered food, and Yu Ben pulled out the tissue next to him, wiped the corners of his mouth, folded the used part and pressed it down.
The boss left, and Yu Ben raised his eyes: "Northerner? The accent doesn't sound like him."
Guan Xi used tea to wash the dishes for himself: "Northerner. I came here when I was an undergraduate. I changed my accent early."
Yu Ben watched her movements.
In his hometown, there was no custom of using tea to wash dishes. He didn't know the significance of washing dishes like this, but he would still do as the Romans do.
Folklore itself is a huge force.
He said "Yeah", leaned back in the chair, and looked at the person opposite, "You investigated my place of origin and then came to the place where I eat. You have something to do with me."
He used declarative sentences.
Guan Xi broke open his chopsticks: "Yuben, I'm here to help you, so you are looking for me, not me looking for you."
Yu Ben let out a "ha" sound.
What a joke.
Guan Xi just lit up a cannon at the meeting and blew up the engineering department's plan. Then he came to his usual place to eat and played word games with him?
He balled up the tissues and threw them on the table.
Guan Xi continued: "The progress of the Changlefang project will not be delayed by me. Because according to the idea of 'big demolition and big construction', this project will not progress. You need my help."
Yu Ben's anger rose little by little. He placed the bowl heavily on the table: "Do you think you know engineering?"
Guan Xi shook his head: "I don't understand."
Yu Ben restrained his anger, but did not let his emotions influence his decision-making. He knew that Guan Xi hadn't finished speaking yet.
Sure enough, Guan Xi continued: "But I know public relations. I visited the aborigines this time. Do you know how complicated the property rights structure of these old houses is?"
Yu Ben took the mobile phone from Guan Xi, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened.
Guan Xi said: "For example, on the second floor of No. 312, there are 11 property owners for a mere 30-square-meter room. The grandma on the third floor of No. 320 has eight brothers and sisters, four of whom immigrated abroad in the early years. If you want to demolish, You have to fly abroad to get the authorization. How many households are there in Changlefang? If you go to negotiate demolition compensation, how can you negotiate? Moreover, Changlefang is full of elderly people. How do you plan to resettle them in the middle of the demolition? If something happens to the elderly people The question is, whose fault is it?”
Yu Ben's face was gloomy and he couldn't see his thoughts.
After a while, he returned the phone to Guan Xi: "You didn't release these data at the meeting just now."
Guan Xi smiled half-heartedly: "Can this be shown in the meeting?"
She hid half of her words - Do you have any political sensitivity?
Yu Ben understood.
He remembered that Shi Yuan asked "the most important problem that needs to be solved at the moment" at the meeting, and how did he answer it?
Funds used for demolition and resettlement.
Obviously, this was not the answer Shi Yuan wanted to hear.
Yu Ben frowned and thought for a moment, then gradually came to his senses: "Changlefang is going to be demolished, but it hasn't been demolished even after 10 years. The problem is not the funds and the construction team, but - 'old' in every sense of the word, the property rights structure It is too complex and leads to the hidden costs of many parties passing the buck.”
Guan Xi nodded. Yu Ben sneered: "Changlefang turned out to be a hot potato thrown by Li Zhuoxiu to Shi Yuan, right? So Shi Yuan couldn't say it clearly and expected me to be the bad guy."
Li Zhuoxiu is the founder of Zhuoxiu Group. Shi Yuan followed Li Zhuoxiu in his early years and became Li Zhuoxiu's closest confidant and direct descendant.
Guan Xitui said sincerely: "Yes. If I were you, I would raise all the relevant property rights issues and cultural issues and exaggerate all the difficulties. Mr. Shi was 'forced to have no choice' and had to break up with all parties in the group before the project started." Boundaries of authority and responsibilities. Otherwise, once construction starts, Yuecheng Company will step into the trap. If it is halfway demolished and the project cannot be pushed forward, won’t it become a big pot?”
Yu Ben stared at the table.
He thought that Li Zhuoxiu and Shi Yuan still had the same absolute trust and close family relationship as before - it seems that he was wrong.
It was true that we were as close as family in the past, and it is also true that everyone is for himself now. The two people are still the same, but the environment has changed, the location has changed, and the time has changed.
So this is the answer Shi Yuan wants to hear.
What problem needs to be solved most right now? All of the problems.
The boss brought a bowl of cold noodles and a plate of green vegetables and placed them on the table. Guan Xi did not move his chopsticks. She then said to Yu Bi: "My human resources relationship was directly transferred from the group to the Changlefang project. Only if Changlefang is good can I be good. If Changlefang is not good, I will not be good like you. Yu Bi, our The interests are aligned.”
Yu Ben resisted Guan Xi's aggressive manner, but her analysis made sense.
And she has the resources.
At Yu Ben's rank, "result-oriented" has been engraved in his bones. Since Guan Xi has his own value and is willing to be used by him, the previous quarrel is not worth mentioning at all.
Yu Ben thought for a few seconds and nodded.
Guan Xi stood up and left.
Yu Ben finished eating in three bites, then raised his hand and said: "Boss, pay the bill."
The boss said: "It's already settled."
Yu Ben snorted coldly.
…
At 8:30 pm, the office was still brightly lit.
Chen Jiaxian compiled the meeting minutes and sent them to Zhou Ke, the operations department.
After pressing the email send button, she stared at the computer screen and pressed the refresh button for a few seconds.
Ten minutes later, a confirmation email from Zhou Ke of the Operations Department appeared in Chen Jiaxian's mailbox, and her heart dropped back to her stomach with a "pop".
Chen Jiaxian exhaled.
She is valuable.
The laptop keyboard became slippery due to sweaty palms. Chen Jiaxian pulled out a tissue, wiped the keyboard, and returned the notebook to Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke was busy and didn't raise his head: "This is a public notebook, you put it on the conference table - why hasn't your notebook been issued yet? Which HR person is responsible for your onboarding?"
Chen Jiaxian was surprised. Can she still receive a laptop?
"It's okay, Zhou Ke." She whispered, "It's normal for her to forget. I will..."
Zhou Ke rolled his eyes at Chen Jiaxian unabashedly.
Chen Jiaxian immediately stopped and reported the name of HR. Zhou Ke made a stern call to the other party.
Chen Jiaxian looked at it, a little dumbfounded, a little uneasy, and a little unbelievable. She believed that avoiding conflicts was the best solution, but Zhou Ke was obviously not afraid of conflicts. At Zhuoxiu Real Estate, everyone, regardless of men or women, is direct and forceful when it comes to what they "want".
Their desires are so clear.
But Chen Jiaxian never dared to express her desires directly and forcefully.
She may even be ashamed of herself for having desires.
…
At 9:30, Chen Jiaxian left work in a daze, hugging the work computer assigned to her.
Oh my god.
She actually got her own laptop.
You don’t have to share it with anyone, you don’t have to suppress your desires and give in to others. But——
Belongs only to herself.
