Chapter Four (Part One).

Whenever I find myself caught up in trivial matters, I can't help but think of the days when I followed Mu Yan. Even though we were busy with the same trivial matters, they felt fulfilling. Despite his autocratic and arrogant nature, he always managed to teach those around him about dedication, professionalism, adaptability, and decisiveness... The marketing team that I once loved and hated, the constant competition, the unpredictable changes and challenges, I will always cherish those memories.

Previously, everyone in the company used English names. In fact, except for the top management, localization has already been implemented from top to bottom. It is unclear what mentality drives these people in the office to cling to foreign accents like a contagious disease. Almost all companies that have been in the domestic market for some time have fully localized.

At that time, I was sweating for Meng Qi. If Mu Yan had seen this scene, she would definitely not have a good time.

I have decided to decline Su Wei's request at an appropriate time.

The balance in the heart, does not need weights at all, it has always been inclined.

Cheng Yi, however, was even more polite than her. Insisting that she didn't need to accompany him, he carried his own bag and asked me to take him to the office.

Every day, as I pass by his office, I see him either engrossed in reading something or busy typing on the keyboard. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is so idle that not even a fly can be found at his door, which is in stark contrast to the bustling scene on the 36th floor.

He walked in and took a look, then made a peculiar request to me, "Can you arrange for me and the marketing department to be on the 36th floor together?"

He is very willing to follow me up the central staircase, walking up the stairs while looking around.

He grinned and said, "Don't call me Cheng Zong, just call me Cheng Yi, or Alex."

This person is still so good at speculating, but this time, I don't know whether to say she is bold or foolish.

However, everyone knows that the deputy general manager in charge of marketing has always been just a decoration.

Especially standing beside Mu Yan, it is more like a non-luminous planet.

He smiled happily, "Work, it's not like we're here for sightseeing."

Listening to me say this, Cheng Yi felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "So that's it, I almost ended up looking uncool by accident."

The timing is not right at the moment. Perhaps Mr. Ji will not choose me at all. The recommended candidate from the HR department has better qualifications than me. I cannot act impulsively before everything becomes clear, or I might end up in an embarrassing situation.

In recent times, two projects have entered critical stages one after another. A new round of sales promotion offensive has already begun. The marketing department is operating at full speed, with everyone busy and overwhelmed. Mu Yan is so busy that he is practically invisible all day.

According to his accent, the Cantonese accent is not very obvious.

Su Wen also came out to greet, with a bright smile, apologizing repeatedly.

I hold a hint of vigilance towards his smile. "Mr. Cheng is being polite. As long as a place can be arranged, I will adjust it for you as soon as possible."

During work hours, I don't know what he's busy with in the office. During break time, I see him wandering around various departments on the 35th floor, taking the opportunity to chat with people and trying hard to fit in with us. However, we already have an unspoken understanding, an invisible barrier that stands in front of him. Even I can see it clearly, and he probably understands it too, but I've never seen him embarrassed or anything. He always appears calm and composed. Perhaps because I was the first person he met in this city, he especially likes to chat with me, even though sometimes I'm not very enthusiastic. But we already have an unspoken understanding, an invisible barrier that stands in front of him. Even I can see it clearly, and he probably understands it too, but I've never seen him embarrassed or anything. He always appears calm and composed.

I had to reluctantly agree to go to the 36th floor to see if there was any space. I thought to myself, Mu Yan probably won't pay any attention even if he finds out.

He scratched his head again, as if this question was difficult to answer, "I guess... half a person from Guangzhou."

I stand by, as if enjoying a high-level performance, where everyone demonstrates their acting skills.

In the company, if we were to talk about who treats him the best, it would be Meng Qi.

I said that we cannot free up a separate office on the 36th floor for the time being.

I am a bit speechless, but still smiling as I open the blinds. "The view and lighting in this office are excellent. You can't find a better spot on the 36th floor."

Cheng Yi's request to move to the 36th floor is simply impossible to fulfill. Mu Yan laughed off the request to provide a desk for the vice general manager in the office area. Fortunately, Cheng Yi did not insist too much.

I thought there would be a storm the next day, but it turned out to be calm, and nothing I was anxious about happened.

Anyway, since General Ji is not here, everything can be suppressed for now, and there will be temporary peace.

Cheng Yi's ex-partner was an unambitious kind-hearted person, while Cheng Yi himself seems equally gentle and low-key. No matter what others say, he nods and smiles, listening attentively like a model student.

So that's how it is. They weren't just putting on airs. They really are a sea turtle that surfaced from the deep sea.

It is ironic that the next morning, the driver went to the hotel to pick him up, but got stuck in traffic and was ten minutes late. Impatient, he took a taxi by himself. When he arrived at the company, he was stopped by the security guard at the gate because he didn't have an access card or a name tag, and the security guard didn't know who Cheng Yi was.

On the first day of Cheng Yi's employment, he did not have the opportunity to meet General Ji, nor did he receive a formal introduction or welcome.

The marketing team greeted Cheng Yi with enthusiasm, friendliness, and liveliness.

He said it doesn't matter if there is no separate room, just find a table in the lobby, it's even better to be lively in the crowd.

Now, apart from Ji Zong, Cheng Yi can be considered the top leader of the marketing system.

Both deputy general manager offices are on the 35th floor, right next to General Manager Ji's office.

They ignore Cheng Yi and basically treat him as a decoration.

Cheng Yi is really as obedient and honest as a decoration.

This week has been incredibly slow, each day feels like enduring through time.

After all, there can only be one star-like figure.

He laughed happily.

I'm not interested in digging too much into his gossip. I laughed it off and asked him if he wanted to go check out the 36th floor.

Mu Yan stood up from behind his spacious desk and greeted his new boss with a hospitable enthusiasm befitting a host.

He explained, "My mother is from Guangzhou. I left when I was thirteen and only returned to the country in recent years."

He casually leaned on the desk, looking at me and said, "I hope I'm not causing you too much trouble."

I endured for a moment and kindly told him that if it's not a deeply ingrained habit, it's best to use the Chinese name here.

I once ran into Meng Qi and him having dinner at a nearby restaurant, they didn't see me.

Subsequently, Mu Yan introduced Cheng Yi to the marketing team and led him to visit the planning, sales, and marketing departments one by one.

I glanced at him with my head down, and he immediately realized it. He slowed down and walked in an orderly manner.

Under the gaze of everyone, I led him to the office of the Marketing Director.

I cautiously asked, "By the way, where are you from?"

Anyway, I was truly delighted to hear his words in the car.

Mr. Ji received a sudden notice and rushed back to the headquarters to attend an important meeting. He took the early morning flight directly.

When I received the call and rushed out, I saw Cheng Yi standing there awkwardly, holding a laptop bag. He was a thin and dark-skinned person, but he was wearing a blue shirt and a dark blue tie, resembling a computer repairman who came to fix the computer. The color coordination and taste left me speechless.

He pulled me aside to chat and asked a lot of trivial questions, including what good food there is near the company and if there are any weekend activities, even asking if there was any special meaning behind my name. I told him there was no special meaning, it was just a lazy name my dad picked from a dictionary.

The news of Ye Jing's resignation has not been announced yet. The HR department has not approached me for a conversation, and even Su Wen has not mentioned the matter of transfer again.

Here, Musa Yan was the first to break this habit in the marketing department, allowing people to address him by name or title, abandoning meaningless formalities. Gradually, the whole company followed suit. Now, except for a few Hong Kong expatriates sent by the headquarters, we no longer use English names. It would be strange for anyone to do so and would attract attention.
