After parking the car in the parking area of the factory, Luo Xiyun went back to the office, put down his bag, took off his coat, and put on his work clothes, then went directly to the general manager's office.
She came early today. When she came, it was not yet the 8 a.m. start time. The office area in front was still like a vegetable market. The women who had just arrived at work were still gathering together to discuss where they went to eat delicious food last night and which one they went to.
I bought a beautiful dress at the mall.
Those with families gathered together and discussed how cute their baby was and what they did last night.
The men hardly get together anymore, only three or two get together to complain about the troubles at home, as if their colleagues are the best trash cans in the world, containing the troubles in their families.
Luo Xiyun entered the office area. After seeing her, some people subconsciously lowered their voices.
Someone also shouted: "Sister Xiyun, you are back from a business trip. Did you bring me something delicious?"
The speaker was a senior employee in the finance department. She knew most of the managers in the company and could chat casually for a while when they met.
This is what makes foreign companies different from state-owned or private companies. There is no obvious class concept between managers and ordinary employees.
Unlike state-owned enterprises or some private enterprises, when you are a minister, workshop director, or even a small squad leader, you treat yourself as a dishonor, put on airs, curse others, and do not treat employees as human beings. Such things are everywhere.
"Dongmei, what should I do if I forget?"
"I don't believe it. Others have forgotten it, and even Sister Luo can't forget it." The speaker was a younger girl named Zheng Xueqiu, who had just graduated from college less than a year ago.
She studied business English, and she came in when Qicheng Aideli Co., Ltd. was recruiting for clerks who could speak English.
At this time, several other people wanted to join in the fun. Luo Xiyun quickly pointed to the general manager's office and said, "I have something to do with you all. I will talk to you later."
"Manager Luo, please go and get busy." The person who spoke was a man, Li Qiang, a technician from the IT department.
The general manager's office has two rooms, an inner one and an outer one. The outer room is where Wang Di, secretary of the general manager's office, works.
Unexpectedly, during these few days of business trip, Wang Di was originally the only one outside, but today a young girl was added to the family.
Luo Xiyun glanced at her and didn't recognize her. She asked Wang Di: "Wang Di, is Mr. Qi in there?"
"Here, there happens to be no one inside. Manager Luo, please go in quickly." Wang Di said.
Watching Luo Xiyun enter, Wang Di said to the girl next to him: "Xiaoxi, that was Luo Xiyun, the senior quality manager of the quality department, remember this."
"Yes, Sister Wang, I remember." Ma Ruoxi said.
After Luo Xiyun entered, she saw Qi Jiahui sitting above her boss, her eyes a little unfocused, giving people a feeling of being mentally and physically exhausted.
"Mr. Qi!" Luo Xiyun knocked on the door frame and then shouted softly, showing her good cultivation.
Qi Jiahui heard the noise and turned to look at her: "It's Manager Luo, you're back."
"I arrived yesterday afternoon. Come over today to report the situation to Mr. Qi." Luo Xiyun said.
When Qi Jiahui heard what she said, a smile finally appeared on her face: "I went over for a meeting. You know some things, right?"
"Well, Director Li Jingping said something, Mr. Kang from the VC team also said something, and Tian Chong, the human resources director at the headquarters, said it most straightforwardly," Luo Xiyun said.
Hearing her fresh statement, Qi Jiahui laughed on the spot: "It will be difficult to do it in the future."
Luo Xiyun looked empathetic and said, "It's really hard to do this, but I believe that Mr. Qi's ability can perfectly control it no matter what the situation."
"Praise me, I don't know when I can't hold it anymore." Qi Jiahui teased herself, she said: "The email from Mr. Kang of the VC team reached me faster than you. He asked all branches to resolutely support the president.
The company’s personnel reform plan, Manager Luo, do you know what this means?”
"Layoffs!" Luo Xiyun didn't shy away from it and said it directly.
During the past few days in the Magic City, this was the most discussed matter.
"Yes, layoffs. If I follow this requirement, I will have to lay off or dismiss 9 front-line managers, 5 supervisors will be dismissed, 3 engineering technicians will be dismissed, and 2 manager-level managers will be dismissed.
Fired."
Luo Xiyun hadn't settled the account yet, but when she heard Qi Jiahui's words, she instantly felt suffocated.
"so much?"
Qi Jiahui shook his head: "Is it too much? This is not enough. This is the bottom line I have come up with. I am going to negotiate with Mr. Kang and try to keep as many managers as possible."
Luo Xiyun didn't say anything else. She realized why Li Jingping repeatedly emphasized to her to do her job well and not to interfere with other things.
For example, in this matter, if so many managers and engineering technicians above first-line management were to be laid off, she would have to pretend not to know. There were too many right and wrongs.
After reporting his work to Qi Jiahui, Luo Xiyun entered the workshop, walked around in the workshop despite the high temperature, and then returned to the quality department office.
…
"Dad, please take me and my sister out to play today." Tongtong took off Xia Zekai's clothes with a pitiful look on his face.
She said: "It's so boring at home, I want to go out and play."
The girl also came over and said, "Dad, I want to go out and play too."
Xia Zekai was about to go to the sales office in front to ask them about building a villa. When he heard that the sisters were bored at home, he said, "Let's go downstairs."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to go play."
"Grandma, I'm going to play too, are you going?"
The two little sisters asked their grandma.
Liu Chunhua shook her head: "I won't go. I'll make beef dumplings for you at home. You go down and play. Remember to come back for lunch at noon."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai lowered his head to Yatou and Tongtong and said, "Girl, Tongtong, you two say goodbye to grandma."
"Goodbye, grandma!"
"Grandma, I really like eating the dumplings you made. I want to eat two big bowls when I come back!"
Tongtong also gestured with her chubby little hands, successfully making Liu Chunhua laugh.
After going downstairs, Xia Zekai took one by one and went to the sales office in front. As soon as he went there, he found that it was very lively here today.
A red lantern was hanging at the door of the sales office. Xia Zekai almost thought that today was some big holiday.
"What are you doing?" Xia Zekai asked a young man who was hanging a lantern.
After the young man finished hanging the lantern, he lowered his head and looked at Xia Zekai. He had remembered 'Boss Xia' and said quickly: "Our second-phase house will be handed over this Saturday, and the third-phase house will go on sale. The site is being arranged in advance."
"Oh, we have to hand over the apartment again. Then there will be more neighbors, and it will be even more lively." Xia Zekai smiled even more on his face.
He asked: "Little brother, where will your third-phase house be built? Why didn't I see the construction started?"
"Boss Xia, our third phase is mainly a villa area, built in the west, next to the botanical garden newly planned by the government." The young man pointed to the west and said seriously to Xia Zekai.
"Are you talking about Qisheng Lake Park? Has it been decided?" Xia Zekai didn't pay attention, but his wife just bought 17 houses in two communities there some time ago. It was still a rumor at that time, but now it's confirmed
Already?
"Haha!" The young man smiled and said nothing.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely tell the other party that the government would start construction immediately.
But the person standing in front of him was Xia Zekai, a person who could talk to the leaders in the government. Such a person would not be deceived by a young man.
"I just said, okay, I'll go find your manager He." After Xia Zekai said that, he took Yatou and Tongtong into the sales office.
It's lively outside, but even more lively inside. The sales hall is decorated to be much more lively than during the Spring Festival.
"Hey, Mr. Xia is here." He Yueyao saw Xia Zekai coming and hurried over to say hello.
When Xia Zekai saw it was her, he said, "Manager He, what a coincidence, I just came here to find you."
She asked: "What's the matter?"
"Manager He, I heard that your company is going to build a villa area. Is this true?" Xia Zekai didn't waste any time and asked immediately.
He Yueyao nodded subconsciously: "Yes, the project has been started."
"I recently wanted to buy a villa. Can you tell me where you built it? How big is it? Is it a townhouse or a single-family house?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Hearing what he said, He Yueyao knew that Xia Zekai really wanted to buy it. She said, "Mr. Xia, we have both townhouses and single-family homes. Come with me to my office to have a look."
"Dad, I want to pee." The girl shouted.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he picked up the boss and ran away. He didn't forget to turn around and shout: "Manager He, help me take a look at Tongtong."
He had been here several times, and he knew where the toilet was. After peeing for his daughter, Xia Zekai didn't forget to say to her: "Girl, I just asked you at home if you wanted to go to the toilet, didn't you say no?
"
"Yes, I didn't go just now, but I'm going now!" The girl's eyes widened with an innocent look on her face.
Forget it, Xia Zekai stopped nagging her, it was unclear.
After finding He Yueyao, the two took the two sisters to the sales manager's office on the second floor.
He Yueyao didn't waste any time and showed Xia Zekai the overall renderings of their company's third-phase villa area.
"Has the place been decided? Where is it?" Xia Zekai asked her.
He Yueyao nodded: "It has been decided. It is right next to the future park. The environment is definitely the best in the entire west of Qi City."
"Manager He, you mean Qisheng Lake Park? Has it been finalized? When will construction start?"
"Not yet, but I heard that construction will start early next year." He Yueyao said.
"I heard?" Xia Zekai rolled his eyes at her.
He himself knew that a park was indeed built in this place, which later became Qisheng Lake Park. This area indeed became the place with the best environment in the Xicheng District of Qicheng.
