63-Sad Squad
The day after Min Hui returned to Bincheng, the news of Cheng Qirang's injury had spread throughout the company.
In the more than ten years of watching the tide, Cheng Qirang has never asked for a single sick leave. get up at 5:00 every day to run in the morning, and go to work in the company by car at 8:00. Very unfortunately, the night he returned from Beijing, Zheng Lan, who had been in a coma for several months, finally passed away. As the son-in-law and CEO, he had to come forward to handle the funeral.
In a sense, Zheng Lan is his teacher and his father. He spared no effort to cultivate his career, and betrothed his only daughter to him, which is as heavy as a mountain.
People who have seen him come back and say that Cheng Qirang's "fall" was too bad: the bridge of his nose was stepped on, half of his face was swollen, and he was wearing an I-shaped correction mask when he attended the event. Although it was made of transparent material, it looked like A Green Hornet. Coupled with the loss of a front tooth, in such a solemn occasion, his speech has been leaking, making people laugh and cry. He has always been "steady and self-sufficient" in the industry, and it is the first time that he has appeared in front of the public so embarrassed.
No one believed that he was injured like this because he "fallen". For a while, rumors spread, gossip flew, and employees spread their imaginations and made up various versions of the story.
Since only Min Hui was accompanied on the trip to Beijing, colleagues rushed to her to inquire about news.
Min Hui naturally pretended to be confused, and only quietly told Cao Mu what had happened.
"Thanks to Brother Yin who taught me a few tricks, I practiced every morning and night, and it finally came in handy." Min Hui wanted to laugh out loud, but she was afraid of being heard, so she lowered her voice, "I didn't expect Cheng Qirang to be so unscrupulous. It's so cool, I can't wait to come back a hundred times!"
Seeing her getting carried away, Cao Mu pushed her: "Aren't you worried about revenge for beating up your boss so violently?"
"Xin Qi said that Cheng Qirang would definitely not report the case. First, he violated the crime first, and I was in self-defense; second, he was a person who wanted to save face. If this kind of news was exposed - it would be a shame!"
Cao Mu smiled lightly.
"Besides, what can he do to retaliate against me? Can he fire me?" Min Hui spread her hands, "Then let me go, I can't ask for it. If I fire me, I don't have to abide by the non-compete agreement."
Cao Mu sighed and shook his head: "I see you—too optimistic."
During lunch time, Min Hui went to the staff restaurant uncharacteristically to eat a piece of fried pork with Hangjiao, which was too spicy, so she had to order another cup of iced lemon tea. The restaurant was very lively. She found a quiet corner and sat down, while drinking tea and replying to WeChat in the work group.
After a few minutes, she heard laughter coming from behind, and turned her head to see that three girls were sitting on the dining table in the back row, whispering. One of them was tall and beautiful, and spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent. She recognized Zhang Zhirui from the Marketing Department. She used to be Lin Xiyue's colleague. The other two were just familiar but didn't know each other.
Min Hui took the initiative to say "hi": "Zhirui, what are you talking to each other?"
Zhang Zhirui sneakily hooked her hand, motioning her to sit down.
"We've been wanting to come to you for a long time, Min Hui." Zhang Zhirui said, "Thank God - you're back!"
Min Hui thought to herself, what does it have to do with you when I come back?
"What's wrong?" she asked with a smile.
"You must know who Cheng Qirang was beaten by." Zhang Zhirui said solemnly, "Let's be happy by saying it, I want to invite this person to dinner!"
Min Hui said calmly, "I heard that it was a fall."
"Pull it down, this kind of injury, you can tell it was beaten at a glance." One of the girls with a round face and a bob head said, her eyes couldn't hide her excitement.
"Introduction, this is An Xiaohe from the game department." Zhang Zhirui pointed to her bob, and then pointed to another girl with straight hair and a white jumper, "This is Fang Shuqing from the engineering department."
Min Hui pretended to be stern: "The big boss is injured, isn't it okay for you to be so gloating about misfortune?"
"What's wrong? It's better to castrate him!" Zhang Zhirui cut, "Min Hui, we know what happened to you four years ago - it's true."
Min Hui was drinking tea, and when she heard this, her body trembled slightly.
"Because later... it happened to us too," An Xiaohe said softly, "it's just that the targets are different. For example, Zhirui, as long as she travels with Cheng Qirang, she will definitely be eaten tofu. Well, I was caught by the department. Her male colleague makes all sorts of flirting in secret. Qingqing was targeted by Ding Yifeng as soon as she joined the job, and she was left alone to work overtime every day..."
"Go to HR to report!"
"So what if you report it? Here is your example. HR didn't take it seriously at all, for fear of finding out the big boss." Zhang Zhirui smiled bitterly and half bitterly, "We are neither as good as you nor you. Daring, the only thing that is the same as you is that our family is poor and we all need this job..."
"So you chose to be silent?"
"We set up a 'sad team', where several girls meet regularly, support each other, and hug each other for warmth. There was originally a Michael, but she couldn't stand her resignation." Zhang Zhirui said, "I saw you at the mall last time. She, she said she was seeing a psychiatrist."
"We female compatriots should unite and collect evidence." She always thought she was fighting alone, but unexpectedly found an ally. Min Hui felt excited, "Let's work together to improve our working environment."
"It's funny, since you returned to Guanchao, Cheng Qirang has never come to see me again. He probably focused all his firepower on you alone." Zhang Zhirui added, "I finally had a few days of comfort."
"Where's Zheng Yiting? Doesn't she know at all?" Min Hui was surprised, "She has put a lot of eyeliner in the company, right?"
"Zheng Yiting doesn't come to the company at all now." Fang Shuqing said, "Hasn't her father been in poor health in recent years, and although Cheng Qirang's lawsuit has been won, it has been hyped up by the media. Everyone says that there is no wind and no waves. Zheng Lan is for the overall situation. Choosing Li Bao, I can't help but murmur in my heart. I heard that their relationship deteriorated rapidly during that time. The performance evaluation of Cheng Qirang that year was more than double that of the previous year, but Zheng Lan refused to use this as an excuse. Cheng Qirang was very dissatisfied with fulfilling the equity incentive for him."
Zhang Zhirui nodded: "Zheng Yiting was also mad, and transferred all the people around Cheng Qirang - men and women - as long as they made her suspicious. She had a serious princess disease and never cared about the company, I remember. I saw a 'Todolist' on her desk before, with only three lines written on it: sleeping, makeup, walking the dog..."
Hearing this, Min Hui couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Zhirui continued: "In the past two years, she finally woke up and decided to do something good to save her husband's reputation, so she took over the charity fund under the old chairman's name, helping out-of-school children return to school, protecting animals, and rescuing stray cats. Dogs and the like, they are getting bigger and bigger now, and their minds are all there."
Min Hui looked at them and said seriously, "It's useless to run away from someone like Cheng Qirang."
"We understand, but we haven't found an effective way. You are welcome to join the 'Sad Squad', and you are welcome to tell us about your combat experience. Could you please join our discussion group?"
"Of course." Min Hui blinked tactfully and whispered, "I'll give you a greeting first: You guessed right, Cheng Qirang was beaten, and the person who beat him was me."
"You? Alone?" An Xiaohe covered her mouth, "Really?"
"How did you fight? Tell me carefully." Zhang Zhirui pulled Min Hui's clothes excitedly, "I want to hear it so much!"
"In order to deal with him, I practiced Sanda hard for a few weeks..." Min Huijiang briefly said it, and seeing that they were listening with relish, he quickly said, "Don't try this kind of fight lightly, I am also being subjected to Forced defense."
Fang Shuqing supported her with both hands, showing a longing look on her face: "Sanshou? This is a good idea, I'll sign up for a class tomorrow!"
"Don't be too optimistic." Min Hui sighed, "If Cheng Qirang hadn't been drinking, I probably wouldn't be able to beat him. Everyone should focus on gathering evidence."
"What is the evidence?"
"Text messages, audio recordings, documents and other things that can be used to testify, and they must be reported to HR as soon as possible. If the situation is serious, call the police. Even if HR refuses to seriously investigate, it is good to leave a detailed record."
Min Hui thought that Cheng Qirang had no time to take care of herself because of the funeral for her father-in-law, but did not expect revenge to come soon.
Within two days, Ding Yifeng put another flagship AI product of Guanchao, "Tongguang AI Diagnosis and Treatment Platform", into the hands of Min Hui's team, asking them to take charge of the management.
Min Hui took a serious look at it and felt that this product was well done and sold well. She thought to herself that there are really capable people in Guanchao, and it would be better for her to be humble in her words and actions in the future.
"Tongguang is the ace product of our R&D department," Ding Yifeng said proudly, "there are many customers, and we attach great importance to their opinions. Mr. Cheng means that I hope your team can directly connect with customers. What's the point? We will send a team to the scene to solve the problem as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and don’t let the customer have too many crushes.”
Min Hui frowned slightly after hearing this: "We are the technical department. Under normal circumstances, we do not deal with customers directly. If customers have problems using our products, they should first report to the customer service department."
There are specialties in the surgery industry, and the talents in the customer service department are the people who are most able to deal with customers, who are sweet and patient. Many people who are engaged in technology are in a hurry, and they quarrel when they talk.
"This is the case in the program, but it's too time-consuming. And many people in the customer service department don't understand technical issues at all. In the end, they still have to ask you. It's better for you to talk to the customer directly, which not only shows our sincerity, but also reduces the The cost of communication — killing two birds with one stone.”
Min Hui had no choice but to accept it. The next day, the calls in the office were overrun by customers, complaining and scolding all kinds of things. To sum up, there are three points: the performance of the Tongguang platform is not good, the speed is slow, and there are many crushes.
Min Hui dispatched a small team overnight to various counties and cities across the motherland to consult and solve problems.
A few days later, Zhang Xiaohan came back and said: "Sister Hui, it's not that there is a problem with our platform, but that the applications of these customers are written in a mess. Not to mention the bloated structure, a large amount of data has been moved around by them, which is completely unnecessary. It affects the speed again."
"Have you explained it well to them?" Min Hui asked.
"Explained! After explaining it countless times, they couldn't understand it at all. Not only did they refuse to modify the program, but they kept pointing at us and scolding us, saying that the Tongguang platform was a piece of shit, which delayed their treatment and saving people—"
"If you really can't explain it, just help them change the app." Min Hui had no choice but to say.
"There is no way to change it. If you want to change it, you have to rewrite it all." It is estimated that there were too many quarrels, and the pimples on Zhang Xiaohan's face became red one by one. "It took too much time, at least a month. Besides, they wrote the app themselves. Why should we do it?"
"I'd better go." Min Hui sighed, "I've become a customer service here. Rather than being scolded for answering the phone every day, it's better for me to write the program."
As soon as he said that, the job was on.
Customers are scattered all over the world, Min Hui has to travel all over the world, today Guangzhou, tomorrow Shanghai, the day after tomorrow Harbin, the day after tomorrow Kunming. In order to hurry up and catch up, she took a lot of red-eye flights. After a month, she lost ten pounds and went home in less than five days. When finally got home, slumped on the bed and fell asleep without even seeing son.
Fortunately, Xin Qi took care of everything, so she had no worries.
Xin Qi will remember to send a few photos of Su Quan, and every one or two nights, he will take time to take his son and her video.
Su Quan couldn't see his mother for more than ten days in a row, so he couldn't help crying, and it was difficult to coax him to sleep at night. Xin Qi finally started to get angry: "Where is this overtime work, it's obviously a whole person!"
"I guess so." Min Hui was so tired that she was dizzy, "I asked for the trouble myself. I am a person who wants to change a program full of bugs. It will take a month for Xiaohan to change it, and I will change it for up to five days. , so I am the most efficient and fastest to do things in person-then those who can do more work."
"Is there any overtime pay?"
"No." Min Hui looked at the sky, "This is not our job at all. In order to appease the emotions of customers, we have to do this, otherwise the things they write will not be able to run well on our platform. The service we promise There's no way to do it. I just didn't expect the technical staff in those hospitals-the level is surprisingly low, and they like to pretend they don't understand! A good product is handed over to them, and it breaks within two months."
"I have something to tell you, don't be nervous first." Xin Qi suddenly said, "This morning, Jiajun had a fight with someone, and he is still at the police station."
"What?" Min Hui was on a business trip in Changsha at the time, her heart was anxious, and her voice suddenly became an octave higher, "How can this be done? He has a criminal record! Xin Qi, you have to take a look!"
"On the way. The situation is like this, Jia Jun has a girlfriend, you know?"
Min Hui's heart sank suddenly: "Ye Xiaozhen?"
"It's not that tutor. It's another one, called Yang Lu. I've met Jiajun's colleague a few times. They have been together for a while, and Yang Lu has been running social news with Jiajun. She's quite capable. I have a good impression. Last time I went to Beijing, Jiajun asked me to buy a necklace as a gift."
Min Hui couldn't help but feel ashamed.
During the period of Xin Qi's return, because of Su Quan's illness, Bai'an's acquisition, and quarrels with Xin Qi every day, she rarely had time to take care of Jiajun. Jiajun didn't come to her very often. He went out to run the news during the day and went home at night to write articles. The siblings rarely had time to meet each other.
Every time Su Quan came back to Min Hui, he remembered to knock on his uncle's door. Jia Jun would come out to play with the child for an hour, or take him to the park or playground. Min Hui likes this way of getting along. She gets together when she has time, and even if she is not, no one depends on anyone, and no one is forced.
She knew that Xin Qi often asked Jiajun to go out to dinner and play ball. Jia Jun is an introvert and doesn't talk much. Min Hui didn't expect that he would tell Xin Qi about his emotional and personal affairs, so she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Jiajun and Yang Lu are recently conducting an investigation into an underground criminal gang in Bincheng City. As soon as the investigation started, Yang Lu was targeted by the gangsters, knocked her unconscious and dragged her into an alley while she was out, and threatened to take She chopped off her right hand. Jiajun was nearby at the time, he heard the sound and rushed over to fight with one block three... and beat two of the gangsters into the hospital."
Min Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "Where's Yang Lu? Is she okay?"
"That girl is very bold and calm. She is taking notes at the police station now."
"Jiajun won't be too defensive, right?" Min Hui was still worried, "I haven't finished my work yet, why don't I come back tonight and deal with it?"
"You don't need to come back, I'll deal with it. Jia Jun is not too defensive. The other party has a knife in his hand, and he is bare-handed. One of the gangsters also found drugs on his body. I have consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer said he would not Something happened."
"That's good, that's good..." As soon as Min Hui heard that the problem was solved, she hurriedly continued to work on the computer, typing while saying, "I'll go back to Bencheng tomorrow, are you at home?"
"I'm going to Beijing in the morning and try to come back at eight o'clock in the evening."
"Why are you going?"
"play golf."
"Going to play golf by plane? Big brother, you're too addicted."
"I like to talk business on the pitch. Few people, quiet and plenty of time."
Xin Qi has regular golf friends in Beijing. This time he is going to meet Su Zhonghe. He is the chairman of Yuanmao Group and an important shareholder of BBG.
Su Zhonghe is 58 years old this year, with a medium build, a Chinese-style face, a double chin, and deep eye bags under each eye. He looks older than his actual age, and his hair is gray. He loves golf a lot, and gets up at five o'clock every day to play a round of golf before starting his day's work. He has more than ten years of golfing experience, and his skills are comparable to Xin Qi's. When they were in Beijing, although they were both busy, they would date for at least two games a week.
When he knew that Xin Qi was going to move the company to Bencheng, Su Zhonghe was the first to complain because no one played with him anymore. Xin Qi had to say that he would often go back to Beijing, and as long as he was free, he would definitely make an appointment.
Later, he really went back often, and had a few meetings with Su Zhonghe in Beijing. The two had not seen each other for a long time, and they chatted and had a good time.
But this time, Xin Qi had something to do with him. He deliberately said that he was going back to Beijing for business on Friday, and asked him if he had time to play a game in the morning. Su Zhonghe happily replied a text message with two words: "I will come."
It takes at least five hours to play 18 holes. After the tee-off, the two chatted, from current affairs to the stock market. Xin Qi said: "I recently took a fancy to a company, and I think it's a good opportunity to start now."
"Want to buy?"
Xin Qi nodded: "The company is relatively large. The BBG family alone may not be able to swallow it. Are you interested? Let's go together?"
"Which one? Let's talk about it. Your vision has always been good." Su Zhonghe stood on the grass, twisted his waist, and hit the ball. Seeing the white ball fly into the green, he walked forward with easy steps.
"Watching Tide International."
"Wow, you're very brave, isn't this piece of meat a bit big?" Su Zhonghe said with a smile, "Zheng Lan just passed away, do you want to take advantage of the mess?"
"That's not true." Xin Qi said lightly, "I have been observing them for a while. Guanchao's financial situation is quite good, with continuous growth in net profit for five consecutive years, sufficient cash flow, and good profitability and solvency. In terms of brand and assets, they are the leaders in the industry. However, its stock market value is not high, its shareholding structure is highly fragmented, and Cheng Qirang is riddled with scandals, and the company's corporate culture is in a mess. There is a lot to do, and no matter how bad it is, you can get a piece of the pie.”
While Su Zhonghe listened, he lowered his head and pondered.
Xin Qi added: "Mr. Wang from Shuangfeng Industrial came to Bencheng a few days ago. I wanted to ask him to chat, but his company had something to do and the itinerary was rescheduled, so I didn't meet him. I happened to meet you today, so I asked you by the way. Not interested for a while."
Su Zhonghe immediately said, "If you're interested, don't ask Wang Yong to do it, just let the two of us work together. I can make the most of it, and you can do it for you."
"That's fine. I have bought 150 million Guanchao shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the name of Dongcheng Technology, accounting for 2% of their total share capital."
"You are really rich." Su Zhonghe laughed.
"You have more money." Xin Qi said, "What you do is insurance."
Su Zhonghe took out his mobile phone and checked the stock market: "Zheng Lan passed away, and Guanchao's stock price has dropped a lot. I will send someone to buy it right away. When we buy 5%, let's put a card first."
"At that time, the secondary market and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can continue to buy. I will prepare the funds I can get here. I will send you a specific plan tomorrow."
"Yeah. You let go and I will support you with money. Cheng Qirang was trained by Zheng Lan, and he will not let us barbarians break into the tide easily. I believe in your ability, but this A battle is definitely not easy, and we may not be able to win. At that time, if Cheng Qirang makes a fool of himself, we can't get in or get out, and we can get a lot of money in a loop, but it will be miserable! "
Xin Qi smiled: "I never said it was easy."
After talking about the swing, a white shadow flew into the air. Su Zhonghe looked at the direction of the parabola and said with a smile, "Birdie! (Note: Golf term: one stroke less than par.)"
