Chapter 2, Assistant Manager
Zhang Ying stood up to look at the IV drip hanging by Li Yang, then glanced at Li Yang, who was clearly in much better spirits, before smiling and leaving the hospital room
An older doctor approached and smiled warmly at Li Yang, who stared blankly at the doctor and then glanced blankly at the middle-aged man.
At this moment, Li Yang deeply understands the meaning of "surviving a great calamity brings future blessings." Before leaving, Mayor Wang invited Li Yang to his home as a guest after his discharge from the hospital, and subtly indicated that Li Yang could reach out to him anytime in the future if he faced any issues or difficulties
Yesterday, the most concerning issue was suddenly resolved; not only was it turned around positively, but he was also unexpectedly promoted. All of this gave Li Yang a dreamlike feeling. He pinched himself several times, and the sharp pain, along with everything around him, accurately confirmed that it was all real
Not long after Zhang Ying left, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance. Li Yang hurriedly sat up straight and leaned forward to look towards the door
"Why did you come to work so soon? Can't you take a few more days off?" Zhang Ying left his desk and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Yang, placing it in front of him
However, what made Li Yang the happiest was the girl's attitude. Li Yang also learned the girl's name, Wang Jiajia, which is a very lovely and pleasant name
Li Yang's injuries were not severe; he stayed in the hospital for only four days. During this time, Wang Jiajia visited him three times, each time bringing a bouquet of flowers. On her second visit, she also brought Wang Tianran specifically to thank Li Yang. Wang Tianran was the little boy whom Li Yang had rescued. He left the hospital the day after Li Yang was admitted, as the little guy had only been frightened and had no external injuries.
The middle-aged man shot a glare at the doctor, seemingly displeased, but immediately broke into a smile when facing Li Yang: "My name is Wang Quanzhong. Thank you for saving my son yesterday. I apologize for coming to see you at this time!"
I am already fully recovered. If I continue to rest, it would be unfair to the company and to you for your support of me!" Li Yang hurriedly stood up. Compared to the previous time when he came to submit the report, Zhang Ying was constantly busy; now, Zhang Ying's demeanor left Li Yang somewhat flattered.
Li Yang had never expected that Zhang Ying not only came to visit him in person today, but also brought him a tremendous piece of good news
As soon as he entered the company, Sister Liu, a salesperson on the first floor, hurried over to greet him. Sister Liu is one of the veteran salespeople in the company and the oldest among them. Li Yang still remembers that when he first joined the company, he received training from Sister Liu, and later, during his internship, she also helped him quite a bit.
Wu Xiaoli is not particularly concerned about Li Yang; at this moment, this proud young woman is likely the one feeling the most distressed. Previously, she had already convinced herself that she was the chosen candidate for the position of assistant manager. Now, suddenly having her opportunity snatched away by Li Yang, she is undoubtedly harboring resentment in her heart.
The ward door opened, and under the guidance of two doctors, a middle-aged man in his forties, who clearly exuded an air of authority, entered alongside the innocent-looking girl whom Li Yang had seen yesterday
Comrade Li Yang, hello. This is Mayor Wang of our city. Mayor Wang has taken the time out of his busy schedule to personally thank you!
On the morning of the second day, in the luxurious ward of Mingyang City People's Hospital, Li Yang smiled as he watched television and said to a thin man in his thirties beside him: "Manager Zhang, could this meteorite be a gift from Santa Claus? However, we do not appreciate such gifts!"
Good morning, Sister Liu!" Li Yang responded with a smile. His assistant had not yet officially taken office, so he must not let others misunderstand that he was acting with an air of authority.
These recent encounters have allowed Li Yang to gain a deeper understanding of Wang Jiajia. Wang Jiajia is not the daughter of Mayor Wang; she is the mayor's niece, a native of Beijing, and currently a senior student in the Journalism Department at Peking University. She actually came to Mingyang for a news interview and had planned to return to Beijing after Christmas. However, she unexpectedly faced this ordeal while taking her younger brother out to play on Christmas Eve, which also delayed her return.
Zhang Ying gently shook his head and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect you to be quite humorous. However, it was indeed dangerous last night. Fortunately, you are blessed and have a strong fate; it was just a minor abrasion. Otherwise, I might not be here to see you now"
"Are you on the rise? I think it won't be long now!" A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Ying's face as he said to Li Yang, "There are some urgent matters at the company, so I will head back first. If you need anything, just ring the bell to call the nurse. Also, the company will reimburse all your hospitalization expenses this time!"
The middle-aged man walked up to the bedside and took a careful look at Li Yang, who then noticed that he was holding two bags of exquisitely packaged nutritional products.
Alright, I will go back and prepare now
Due to Li Yang's courageous actions during a dangerous moment, the company has decided to remove his intern status and promote him to a formal employee. Furthermore, Zhang Ying has reported to the headquarters, preparing to elevate Li Yang to the position of assistant manager. The headquarters has already agreed, and this appointment will be issued soon.
Sister Liu's smile grew even more pronounced as she quietly said, "Manager Zhang just instructed that you should go directly to the second floor upon your arrival; he has something to discuss with you"
Assistant Li has arrived, please take a seat! Zhang Ying is still sitting at the desk, but his attitude towards Li Yang is completely different from when he was a salesperson.
At this moment, Li Yang finally understood why Zhang Ying had suddenly promoted him to a permanent position. The key point was here; Li Yang had not expected that the child he saved yesterday was actually the mayor's son. Now, Li Yang had become the savior of the mayor's son, which meant that the mayor owed Li Yang a tremendous favor. Zhang Ying's decision to promote Li Yang to a permanent position and elevate him further was an investment that would undoubtedly pay off.
Yes, thinking back on it now still gives me chills; fortunately, you were there yesterday!" The innocent girl said while nodding at Li Yang, her pure gaze made Li Yang feel a bit embarrassed and lower his head.
Li Yang understood this very well, but he did not pay much attention to it. In terms of work ability, Wu Xiaoli was stronger than him, but in terms of luck, she fell a bit short. Anyway, it was he, Li Yang, who was currently working as an assistant, so there was no need to quibble with a girl over trivial matters
This station reports: At approximately 9:35 PM last night, a rare meteorite fell in the bustling downtown area of our city, causing a minor earthquake. It has been confirmed that twenty-three people were injured, seven of whom are seriously injured, and there have been no reported fatalities at this time. Below, please see the detailed report sent from the scene...
The slender man named Zhang Ying is the manager of the Mingyang branch of Anshi Jewelry, and he is also Li Yang's superior. Li Yang has been in a coma since last night and only woke up this morning. The first person he saw upon waking was Zhang Ying
Regardless of the circumstances, yesterday was all thanks to you. Jiajia has told me everything that happened. If it weren't for your selfless act of saving me at a critical moment, the outcome would have been unimaginable
Assistant Li, you have arrived
In my childhood, a fortune teller once said that when I turn 24, during my zodiac year, I would face a great disaster. If I survive, I would turn misfortune into fortune and achieve great success; if I do not, I might have to walk the path to the Naihe Bridge. I never expected that the fortune telling would be so accurate, but I just don't know when this great success will actually come!" Li Yang glanced at his bandaged arm, which had been stitched up with seventeen stitches. Compared to the danger he faced yesterday, this is definitely a minor injury. The arm had seventeen stitches, and compared to the danger he faced yesterday, this is definitely a minor injury
Yes, I will go tomorrow; I have already booked the flight
Zhang Ying smiled and nodded. The international jewelry exhibition being held in Qingdao this time is not very large in scale, so the headquarters did not participate. Instead, they arranged for the branches in Mingyang, Xuzhou, and Qingdao to attend, which can be considered an opportunity for the local staff to broaden their horizons
After Zhang Ying left, only Li Yang remained in the spacious and luxurious hospital room. He turned his head to smell the flowers that Zhang Ying had sent, and suddenly began to chuckle foolishly.
Except for Wu Xiaoli, the other employees greeted Li Yang with smiles. Of course, a few familiar faces had also disappeared in the meantime. The internship periods of the other three interns had already ended, and due to Li Yang's unexpected formal employment, they all lost this job opportunity. They had settled their wages and left before New Year's Day.
After Li Yang was discharged from the hospital, Wang Jiajia also returned to Beijing. However, the two exchanged email addresses and QQ numbers, and occasionally chatted via text messages. Although they did not meet in person, their communication actually increased.
After the New Year's Day, Li Yang's formal appointment for regularization and promotion was officially issued. After the stitches on his arm were removed, Li Yang returned directly to work at the company
Alright, I understand. Thank you, Sister Liu!" Li Yang nodded. It is normal for the manager to look for him, especially since he has just returned to work.
A few people sat in Li Yang's hospital room and library for a few minutes before leaving. From the expressions on the faces of the two doctors, it was evident that this middle-aged man was indeed their mayor. Moreover, it seemed that Li Yang also recalled that the mayor of Mingyang was named Wang Quanzhong, who frequently appeared on television.
Manager Zhang, you were looking for me!" Upon entering the manager's office, Li Yang spoke first
No, it’s nothing. In that kind of situation, I believe anyone else would have done the same! Speaking of yesterday’s rescue, Li Yang felt a bit embarrassed. However, reflecting on last night, it was indeed dangerous; if it had been just a second later, both he and that little boy would have been doomed
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, placing the items beside Li Yang's hospital bed. The "Jiajia" mentioned by the middle-aged man was likely that pure girl, and Li Yang did not expect to learn her name so soon
Upon returning to the company, Li Yang immediately felt a sense of difference. The last time he left was on Christmas Eve, when he was still troubled about whether he could continue working there. Now, upon his return, he had already become a leader in the company. Apart from Zhang Ying, he was now the highest-ranking individual in the entire company.
"Jewelry exhibition? Are we going tomorrow?" Li Yang was taken aback; he did not expect to have to go on a business trip so soon after returning.
Zhang Ying laughed heartily and said, "Haha, it's good that you can think this way. By the way, your dormitory has been arranged. You don't need to go to work today. Go back and familiarize yourself with it, then make some preparations. We will go to Qingdao together tomorrow to attend a jewelry exhibition. Your return is truly timely; I was just worried about the shortage of manpower!"
Li Yang nodded in agreement, stating that attending the jewelry exhibition would be quite good. He had just assumed the position of assistant and had much to learn. The exhibition would feature many peers and numerous clients, making it an excellent opportunity for learning
