Guan Xi received a message from Zhang Zhiyao: "I just happened to come to Guangzhou for business. Let's have lunch together?"
Zhang Zhiyao was Li Zhuoxiu's personal secretary and head of the secretarial team who had been with him for more than ten years. Guan Xi naturally agreed to her invitation.
Zhang Zhiyao sent the address, which was a quiet small restaurant near the company.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Zhiyao glanced at his watch.
Guan Xi looked at Zhang Zhiyao lightly. She doesn't seem to have enough time, so why does she have to have dinner with herself?
Zhang Zhiyao got straight to the point: "The old president is very disappointed with Yang Zhi."
The waiter came and refilled two glasses of lemonade. Guan Xi took a sip and said, "Is it because Yang Zhi didn't get any money, or is it because Yang Zhi can't handle the top of Zhuoxiu Group, or is it because Yang Zhi is being tricked by Jun Ziyi?"
Zhang Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled: "Yang Zhi was tricked by Jun Ziyi again and again. It's because Yang Zhi has no brains. He came to the group to dig money and got the approval of the old president. In the end, he didn't even know how to get the top of the group. It's Yang Zhi who has no ability. He has no brains and no ability. How could the old president like him?"
The first time Yang Zhi was tricked by Jun Ziyi, he thought Jun Ziyi had really lost his power, so he excitedly took Jun Ziyi's position. However, the president's office can be replaced simply and crudely. The inextricable interpersonal relationships caused Yang Zhi a headache and exposed his performance shortcomings.
The second time Yang Zhi was cheated by Jun Ziyi was when she sent him to the group to poach money, causing a big embarrassment in front of everyone.
Guan Xi took a sip of water and said nothing.
Zhang Zhiyao asked curiously: "So Yang Zhi never asked for your help from the beginning to the end, right? He didn't even ask you to introduce several people from the group to him? He really -" She asked an adjective, "running naked to a party?"
Guan Xi smiled: avoiding the important and taking the easy, he gently put the water glass aside: "People who have no brains and no ability, just don't mention it. What about you? Why did you tell me this news?"
Zhang Zhiyao lowered his head and smiled.
After a moment, she took a sip of water: "How did Jun Ziyi get involved in the core business? What is the path?"
Guan Xi thought for a moment and asked directly: "Are you planning to transfer?"
Zhang Zhiyao pondered for a moment and admitted happily: "Yes. I plan to transfer to another job and come to ask for your help."
She put down the water glass and looked at Guan Xi.
Zhang Zhiyao is the first secretary of the old president. He is happy when the old president is happy and sad when the old president is sad. Guan Xi has never seen Zhang Zhiyao himself.
But at this moment, ambition flashed in her eyes.
Guan Xi said: "You and Jun Ziyi are taking different paths. Jun Ziyi is helping the old president, but you - you want to betray the old president."
Zhang Zhiyao smiled.
She put the water glass on the table very lightly: "Everyone is here to work, do a job and earn a profit. Only in feudal society do we talk about loyalty and betrayal. Are you right?"
Guan Xi agreed: "It makes sense."
Zhang Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled again: "You also know the physical condition of the old president. No matter which of her children takes over in the future, I will be the first to undergo surgery. How could the new president's first secretary use his predecessor? The president’s old man, right?”
Guan Xi agreed again: "Indeed."
When the food is served, two people each eat two portions of rice. Zhang Zhiyao ordered a white-cut chicken leg with ginger paste. She bit down hard and looked very, very hungry.
Guan Xi said: "You didn't eat this kind of food before."
Zhang Zhiyao said a vague "hmm" and waved his hand: "As an administrator, you have to maintain your image."
She grabbed the chicken leg and said: "I'm afraid of getting fat, so I only eat salad for work meals, but what's the point of being a vegetarian in a polite way? Meat is still delicious, and the more you eat, the stronger you will be, right?"
…
The two of them finished their work meal quickly, and Zhang Zhiyao was already in a hurry to return to Shenzhen.
Guan Xi said: "So, what do you want me to help you with?"
Zhang Zhiyao said softly: "The government is recruiting a senior person in charge of real estate strategic planning. I am very interested in this position. You are an excellent GR. I hope you can ask someone to help me recommend you."
She gently pushed an envelope over and said, "This is my sincerity."
Guan Xi opened the envelope and found only a few thin pieces of paper inside. Guan Xi glanced twice and concentrated.
She carefully put the envelope away, and then showed a real smile to Zhang Zhiyao: "Thank you for your sincerity. When will we meet next time?"
Zhang Zhiyao said with a smile: "The old president will come to Changlefang for inspection at the end of the month, and I will accompany him."
Guan Xi nodded: "I understand."
She handed a USB flash drive to Zhang Zhiyao: "There is a popular science video here about copper craftsmen. It's very relaxing. For the Changlefang project, we plan to invest part of our energy in intangible cultural heritage, such as hand-made copper in Xiguan. So, When the old president is bored, please let him relax."
Zhang Zhiyao did not answer: "May I ask, where did it come from?"
Guan Xi said: "It's from Xiaohongshu. I remember that you usually download interesting social media content and broadcast it to the old president."
Zhang Zhiyao neither admitted nor denied it. She took the USB flash drive and smiled: "You also know this."
Guan Xi said: "You are a very good senior assistant, and of course you will shine in other positions."
Zhang Zhiyao smiled again: "You can't be an assistant for a lifetime, are you right?"
Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyao gently patted Guan Xi's shoulder. He made a "call" gesture.
Guan Xi waved his hand.
After sending Zhang Zhiyao away, Guan Xi called Hu Yu.
"Ayu." Guan Xi said with a smile, "Last time you mentioned that the government is looking for a real estate strategic planning researcher. Have you found one now? I have a very suitable candidate to recommend to you."
After hanging up Hu Yu's phone, Guan Xi called Cheng Wenhua.
"Senior brother," she said with a smile, "When are you free, can you come out for a cup of coffee?" She pinched the envelope in her hand, "I have something good for you."
…
At the regular meeting on Monday, Sun Jiwen was furious when he learned that Pan Qiaomu had fallen out with Starbucks without authorization and threatened to deduct all assessments from the investment promotion department in the fourth quarter.
After the meeting, Pan Qiaomu left the investment department to hold a small meeting.
Of course, Chen Jiaxian was not allowed to attend the meeting of the Investment Promotion Department.
She landed in the investment promotion department, and Jun Ziyi still had the right to evaluate. Everyone tacitly isolated her.
As soon as the door closed, Han Fang began to curse angrily: "Damn it, why should I be afraid of him? Starbucks has no hope of negotiating, so what is he doing with this matter?"
Someone from the investment department said: "Why? Just rely on Yang Zhi to get promoted."
Pan Qiaomu knocked on the table: "Keep your voice down."
He analyzed: "There are many mountains in Zhuoxiu Group, and they are all doing their own things. The old president cannot control everything, so he promoted a lot of middle and high-level 'living water' to try to improve the situation. Yang Zhi is also a 'living water'. It depends on whether he can handle the others. Yang Zhi’s own ability. Now the facts have proved that Yang Zhi has no ability. The old president was very disappointed, so Sun Jiwen panicked and took out his anger on us."
After this analysis was revealed, the people in the Investment Promotion Department became less angry.
South Korea was the first to say: "This is because they are stupid."
