Chapter 7, a period of three months
He originally intended to see Ning Meng make a fool of herself, a person from a secretarial background, going to investigate a project, not knowing what kind of joke would ensue
Ning Meng was assigned to Project Department 2, becoming a subordinate of Qiu Junlin
And now, it is the moment for her to apply what she has learned
However, Ning Meng conducted the research in a clear and well-reasoned manner
Ning Meng: "... ..." It is you, my brother, who has blocked my way and forced me to choose the option of resignation!
It seems as if he is bullying others together with the boss at the table
"Ning Meng, I have given it some thought for you, and I believe you were too impulsive just now," Boss Lu said with a certain flair.
Lu Jiming fixed his gaze on her for a full two seconds there
Ning Meng : `` ... ... ''
What is the trend of development in this regard
Well, how could she forget? This boss just loves to do the opposite of what others want. The more she wants to resign, the more he does not want her to succeed in resigning.
He treated Ning Meng politely for two days, but on the third day, he could no longer hold back and sent a trusted confidant to engage Ning Meng in conversation.
Lu Jiming frowned, his expression filled with displeasure: "You look beautiful! Two months!"
Ning Meng has previously been exposed only to these conclusive elements, lacking practical experience and real-world application
Lu Jiming raised his eyebrows, his expression calm and serene, as if nothing had just happened
Ning Meng: "... ..." It is you who is being impulsive, big brother!
The documents presented at the entrance of the CEO's office reflect project statuses that have already surpassed those practical steps and are now in the stage of conclusive presentation
Ning Meng turned around and left the door
In the third second, he slammed the table hard, threw a pen to the ground, pointed at Ning Meng, and shouted: "Get out! I am just waiting for your resignation letter!"
Ning Meng said: "Alright, General Manager Lu, then I will not do it."
They asked Ning Meng what conflict she had with President Lu, and how it suddenly led to the boss assigning her here. Is there any possibility of reconciling with the boss? Oh no. But is there really no chance of returning to the president's office?
Ning Meng knows that if she does not express herself clearly, she will not be able to truly integrate into the project department, and the people here will guard against her as if she were a thief
Three months is just three months, after all, the social security and housing fund do not need to be interrupted due to resignation
This comparison suddenly sparked a flicker of conscience within Lu Jiming.
Lu Jiming tapped the table impatiently with his finger: "Did you hear my suggestion?"
She held the resignation letter, feeling the lingering warmth of the paper that had just emerged from the printer between her fingers
Lu Jiming did not even glance, casually sweeping his hand, and the piece of paper was pushed aside, half floating and half sliding away.
The resignation letter just out of the pot, warm and fresh
At the very moment the door closed behind her, she heard the sound of a cup shattering inside.
I can't see it, Ning Meng. You are quite bold and daring!" Lu Jiming clenched his fist and knocked on the table. "Ning Meng, let me tell you, you only have two choices now: either do your job as a secretary well, or just quit and go home!
Ning Meng is feeling a bit troubled
Ning Meng firmly and decisively told them that it was impossible, and that it was already a good thing that she had not rolled up her bedding and gone home
Ning Meng actually knows why Qiu Junlin left so many pairs of small shoes for her to wear. Previously, due to the delay in the second round of financing for the clothing enterprise, Lu Jiming lost his temper at Qiu Junlin, and Qiu Junlin resented Ning Meng for not speaking up for him at that time
She truly does not know how to respond to this message. ... This message makes her seem like a heartless person ... . ... Her ability to become an excellent secretary was not cultivated, but rather forged through hardship. How could he have the audacity to use such a way of expression to argue unreasonably.
Yang Xiaoyang told Ning Meng that she was on the verge of developing depression. She pleaded with Ning Meng to return to the president's office quickly. She said that Lu Jiming had been acting like a madman lately, changing secretaries every day, and none of the newcomers could meet his standards. Even if someone was so outstanding that they could captivate a prince in Dubai, he would still belittle them to the point of tears.
Listening to that sound, Ning Meng was almost driven to laughter by her helplessness
However, the tenacious Qiu Junlin did not become discouraged by this. He adopted a different approach to continue harming others for his own benefit
After she arrived at the project department, she quickly realized her shortcomings in practical experience, so she secretly began to diligently and purposefully fill the gaps in her business knowledge
Ning Meng quietly pulled the resignation letter from Lu Jiming's hands
Lu Jiming stared at Ning Meng, who was in front of the boss's desk. The solid wood boss's desk was grand and spacious, while Ning Meng, dressed in a narrow pencil skirt, appeared even slimmer in contrast.
Ning Meng, do not go too far! It has only been three months! If you continue to haggle, I will have to sign!
Lu Jiming: "Let me leave you a way out. This way, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now, I will give you one month to go to the project department and follow along with the projects. However, if after one month you are still unable to handle it, you will have to come back and earnestly work as my secretary. No more nonsense! I tell you, I have invested three years of effort in cultivating you into such an excellent secretary, and my hard work is not in vain. You cannot be so irresponsible, acting on your whims just because it pleases you!"
... it is truly a case of a living person being spoiled. At such an age, as the esteemed owner of a large company, is it really necessary to lose one's temper in such a manner
The result, however, surprised her
When she was overwhelmed with her own troubles, Yang Xiaoyang often came to her to complain, tirelessly adding to her burdens.
For instance, on the second day, when he went to the project party's company for a meeting, he notified everyone to attend, but inadvertently left Ning Meng out.
When she entered the office again, Lu Jiming, who was behind the boss's desk, surprisingly wore a pleasant expression on his face
She returned to her workstation, opened the document, and began typing her resignation letter
In addition to Yang Xiaoyang, there were also some others who came to inquire about Ning Meng's situation.
Although she gained a lot of professional insights while being beside Lu Jiming, Ning Meng had long realized that there were still significant gaps in her business knowledge. In the past, while following Lu Jiming, she had considerable exposure to projects, but that exposure was mostly superficial. Although she learned a lot from it, there were many things she did not have the opportunity to learn. For instance, how to identify a good project, how to conduct due diligence, and how to analyze the feasibility of a project from legal, financial, and industry perspectives. These fundamental aspects were things she had no chance to engage with while sitting at the door of the president's office.
As long as one is determined, it turns out that things can be accomplished with such efficiency
Ning Meng calmly negotiated for the glasses: "Six months."
Now that the doubts have been resolved and there are no more reservations, Qiu Junlin began to intentionally and unintentionally make things difficult for Ning Meng
She reads books, memorizes legal regulations and clauses, and studies project cases. She delves into legal risks and researches risk control systems. Finance is her specialty; although she has worked as a secretary for three years, she has not lost her professional edge. She knows that one day she will need this professional knowledge and that one day she will turn it into exceptional skills that will enable her to walk confidently on Financial Street.
Ning Meng stepped forward, pushed up her glasses, and placed her resignation letter on Lu Jiming's boss's desk
Lu Jiming raised his hand to pull over the resignation letter next to him and slapped it down in front of Ning Meng, then picked up a pen, twisted off the cap, and pretended to sign in agreement
This amusing thought flashed through Ning Meng's mind, causing her to lose the tension of having to knock on the door again to face the one who was roaring.
Those faces, filled with hope yet quickly turning to despair, slumped together. They sighed deeply and, with a hint of desperation, said: "That's it, no one can expect to have a good life from now on"
They all started breaking cups to make noise for her. Anyway, it's already like this; if I resign, then I resign, and I cannot have regrets
The most uncertain situation is with Qiu Junlin. He does not know whether this person who suddenly parachuted into the project department is an envoy sent by the boss to investigate the situation of his department or something else.
Lu Jiming, who was uncharacteristically throwing a tantrum, left Ning Meng at a loss for how to respond
Ning Meng, within a short period after joining Project Department 2, had nearly exhausted the good relationships she had built over the previous three years
As if nothing had just happened. No one was shouting, no one was banging on the table, no one was throwing pens or smashing cups
Ning Meng : `` ... ... ''
Thus, she sincerely composed a statement and earnestly conveyed it to Qiu Junlin's trusted aide. She made a slight alteration to a detail, changing Lu Jiming's harsh words—if she did not achieve results in three months, she would have to return to continue serving as his secretary. She modified it to say that if she did not produce results in three months, she would have to pack her bags and leave.
Ning Meng believes that Lu Jiming's emotional intelligence and intelligence are not that low, yet he speaks in such a way that he does not even realize how unreasonable it is
He is unaware that Ning Meng has been secretly putting in a great deal of hard work
After clarifying the background, Qiu Junlin spent another two days exploring and ultimately confirmed that Ning Meng was indeed not an undercover agent sent by Lu Jiming. On the contrary, he sensed that Lu Jiming harbored a strong disdain and anger towards Ning Meng.
Ning Meng completed her resignation letter and printed it out in less than ten minutes
In such an environment, how impossible it is for her to achieve any results. Because the results are directly attributed to Qiu, while only the mistakes and failures are attributed to Ning.
He has never lost his temper, nor has he ever made harsh remarks, and he has certainly never engaged in a contest of throwing cups with anyone
He still sent Ning Meng to conduct the project research. After Ning Meng returned and submitted the research report, if the project was feasible, then the research results would be directly taken by him, Qiu Junlin. If the project was not feasible, and it was introduced by someone related to a certain executive in the company, then Ning Meng would bear the blame. Meanwhile, he would distance himself completely from the matter
Alternatively, let Ning Meng go on a business trip to another city to investigate a certain "potential project" in the local area
She completed the field research work exceptionally well, and Qiu Junlin was unable to make her look bad
Ning Meng's bold words inspired a thunderous cold laugh from Lu Jiming
Qiu Junlin was both surprised and disappointed by this. The small shoes were all ready, yet they surprisingly could not fit Ning Meng's feet
Ning Meng looked at Lu Jiming. Behind the bright lenses were her sparkling eyes. With the issuance of this ultimatum, she instead calmed down, no longer feeling flustered.
After this, Ning Meng's mind was clear for a while, and then she welcomed the last member of the "Can we return to the President's office" inquiry team.
Ning Meng stated that this company's qualifications are inadequate and that we should not invest. She is someone who has been personally mentored by General Manager Lu. If she says we should not invest, it would be inappropriate for me to continue pushing this project forward.
"You have no idea how terrifying Mr. Lu is right now! If I hadn't resigned, I would have to beg for food. I really want to quit!" Yang Xiaoyang expressed his feelings of anguish to Ning Meng, pounding his chest and stamping his feet.
Ning Meng knew that Qiu Junlin was very unwilling at that time, but she did not expect that this director-level person was even less magnanimous than her deskmate in elementary school, who loved to draw a line on the desk. That deskmate would give her two chances to cross the line every day, and only started hitting her on the third time. Qiu Junlin, on the other hand, provided no buffer at all, directly forcing her to wear a pair of small shoes over another pair of small shoes.
She quietly looked at Lu Jiming, and with a calm response, she punctured his certainty that she was unwilling to resign, along with his arrogant demeanor
Lu Jiming: "Your tendency to resign at the slightest provocation is unacceptable; this approach is unwise, as it effectively closes off your own avenues for the future"
As she typed the three characters "resignation letter," a sense of hesitation and a somewhat reluctant melancholy lingered in her heart. However, she quickly found the emotional clarity she needed, steeled herself, and resolutely began to type the content of her resignation request.
Ning Meng felt a bit anxious. Lu Jiming had only given her a three-month deadline, and she felt that she had not accomplished anything yet, while half of the time had already passed.
Lu Jiming
Her position transfer appears to be a calm and uneventful matter above the ground level, as if it is nothing extraordinary, thus everyone accepts it quite naturally; however, beneath the surface, various discussions and speculations are surging.
So is Lu Jiming deliberately saying these words to compete with her
Four months
