After the school dinner ended successfully, winter vacation and New Year are getting closer and closer.
On the day of the Paradise Group dinner, Hua Shiyuan called.
"I miss you so much. It's almost Chinese New Year. When will you come to see me?"
Gu Yun picked up the phone and walked to the office window: "Today is the company dinner. I plan to go there tomorrow and have a big meal with you in the county tomorrow."
"When are you going home? Do you want to come and stay with me for a few days?"
"I'll come early then. I've already bought a plane after the winter vacation."
Gu Yun explained.
"Okay then. Chinese New Year is coming soon, remember to come to my house to pay New Year greetings then."
The voice of the senior student on the other side of the microphone was full of expectation.
Time flies by so fast, and before we know it, it’s been another year.
"Don't worry, can I forget this?"
Gu Yun responded with a smile.
"I also want to go to your place to pay New Year's greetings this year. You've been to Star City so many times, but I haven't even met your parents yet..."
Hua Shiyuan's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
In the middle of the conversation, He Xuan knocked on the door and walked into the office with a folder under her arm. When she saw the phone in Gu Yun's hand, she obediently put the file away and stood aside to make a pot of tea.
"And what kind of gifts do uncle and aunt like? When we meet for the first time, can I prepare some Star City specialties for them in advance?"
Before Gu Yun could reply, Hua Shiyuan talked cheerfully.
"Don't buy it. I can just buy some here. There's no need to bring big and small bags from all the way."
"That's not okay, no matter what, it's my intention."
Hua Shiyuan said with a smile, as if she and Gu Yun had met their parents and received full approval from her boyfriend's mother.
"No, do you really want to come to Liaocheng?"
Gu Yun tested the other party's tone again.
"Isn't it okay to visit the elders?"
Hua Shiyuan's tone was serious.
In her mind, dealing with Gu Yun's mother is definitely an opportunity to overtake in a corner.
The senior sister who has been immersed in the system for a year is no longer the childish girl who casually competes for power and jealousy. She has learned to take advantage of the situation.
"Okay, then you can come if you want. Let me know in advance so that I can pick you up. By the way, don't buy too many things as it will be difficult to get them."
His girlfriend took the initiative to visit his family. Gu Yun really couldn't find any excuse to refuse, so he could only agree.
"OK."
Hua Shiyuan was obviously in a good mood and had no intention of hanging up the phone yet. He Xuan on the sofa yawned as she listened.
"How is the company lately? Are you busy at work? I'm already using the latest Paradise Cloud Music."
"It's okay. I'm actually quite busy. There's a lot of work at the end of the year and there are a lot of branches deployed. Now that the Paradise Group is getting bigger and bigger, I plan to integrate the company and take advantage of this dinner party."
Gu Yun walked to He Xuan and slid a hand along the edge of the secretary's shirt.
"Don't be too tired. I will be able to return to Jiangcheng in a few months. Then we can see each other more often!"
At work, Hua Shiyuan never knew what to talk about with Gu Yun.
There were even times when she felt that she and Gu Yun did not live in the same world.
Gu Yun was well versed in the twists and turns within the system, but she knew nothing about Gu Yun's entrepreneurship.
Perhaps after returning to Jiangcheng, a relatively developed second-tier city, and spending more time together, she would be able to better understand what her boyfriend was doing.
"It doesn't matter. There aren't that many things that require my decision. I'll go to your place on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Then you can talk to your uncle and aunt."
"good!"
Gu Yun could feel through the phone that Hua Shiyuan on the other end of the phone was particularly happy.
This whole year at the grassroots level has indeed been filled with less gatherings and more separation.
Although Gu Yun had gone to Yingshan County enough times, in his heart, he always felt that he did not spend enough time with Hua Shiyuan.
This phone call reminded Gu Yun of many things.
As the New Year is approaching, we must not only do a good job of visiting relatives and friends, but also maintain daily relationships and receive and send greetings in the circle.
People in society pay attention to dignity.
"Be gentle, it hurts!"
After thinking about it, Gu Yun couldn't help but exert some strength in his hand. The little secretary clicked and finally couldn't help shouting.
From serving Gu Yun in her freshman year to the final run-in with Gu Yun, He Xuan has grown up as an assistant. She has basically made no mistakes in whatever tasks she is assigned, so she can rest assured.
"The Chinese New Year is almost here. Have we taken care of the relationships that our company usually needs to maintain?"
Gu Yun took out his hand and asked. When it comes to business, he can always change roles quickly.
"Well, according to last year's rules, everyone has sent their wishes. The list will be sent to you on the table."
Half of He Xuan's face had already been stained with a hint of red, but his voice had no change and sounded very stable.
"Do you want to work in a branch and be responsible for your own business?"
During the casual chat, Gu Yun suddenly asked.
"ah?"
"I?"
He Xuan seemed a little caught off guard, but she quickly adjusted her mood and answered.
"I don't think it's particularly suitable right now. There are three reasons. First, there is no echelon plan for assistants. It will take time to find new assistants to train after I leave. Second, there is no suitable position, and airdropping is unfair to other people. Third,...
....I don’t want to be too far away from you.”
The question was sudden, but He Xuan had already developed the ability to report unexpectedly in a calm and coherent manner in the workplace.
Gu Yun was very satisfied with He Xuan's straightforward answer. In his eyes, He Xuan's qualities were enough to be the leader of a project alone.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
...
Before the dinner party in the evening, Gu Yun took a special trip by car and went down to the front lines of various subsidiaries of the group to observe the real working conditions of his employees.
This year's Internet advocates hard work, and people don't have a lot of opinions about 996. As long as the money is in place, there will be no complaints no matter what.
The accompanying assistant distributed gifts to the front-line employees under the banner of New Year's greetings, which was also considered a preliminary survey.
Many times, Gu Yun, the boss, only sits in a single office of Paradise Technology. In the minds of the employees below, the young boss is just a symbol and sometimes has no sense of existence.
Not even as intimidating as one's superior supervisor.
But as the group gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more employees, and the management becomes more and more superior. Sooner or later, the problem of being too big will appear. It is necessary for him to visit more, go out more, and understand more voices from front-line employees.
.
This is not just a problem encountered by a company, but also in any field.
If you stay in a temple for a long time, you will become farther and farther away from ordinary people, and your decisions will become less and less down-to-earth.
