To middle age

"It's just a little emotional, this time is really fast, so soon a year will pass." I said.

"Yes, I'm one year old again, it's really annoying, and I'm going to be urged to get married when I go home." Li Wenjing pouted.

"How about your age?" I laughed.

"I'm not too young, I'm twenty-eight years old, haven't you heard the saying that a woman is thirty tofu?" Li Wenjing continued.

As soon as I said this, I grinned. I remember that in the Spring Festival Gala, there was a sketch that said thirty-one flowers for men and thirty tofu for women, but these are all from a long time ago, and now women take care of their skin. All of them, as long as they are under forty, are as beautiful as a flower. Of course, if you want to be young, you have to spend a lot of money.

"Cindy, don't complain, you're only twenty-eight, you are in your prime of life." I smiled.

"Brother Chen, I plan to ask for leave and go back to my hometown from tomorrow. You can approve it." Li Wenjing spoke and took out a leave slip.

Seeing the leave slip, I looked at Li Wenjing in surprise.

"Brother Chen, it's the New Year right now, and there is nothing wrong with our purchasing team. Can I ask for leave?" Li Wenjing continued.

"Of course I can ask for leave." I smiled, picked up the pen, and signed.

When I finished signing here, Li Wenjing smiled.

There was nothing in the company for these two days. In addition to the year-end award at the end of the year, Chuangyao has already issued a 2,000-yuan shopping card per person, which is a company benefit. Because this year is really not easy, this year’s tour is also cancelled. Yes, but the year-end bonus is still the same as in previous years, not necessarily less.

Just as I turned on the computer and looked at some year-end summaries written by various groups, my landline rang.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Chen Nan, there is a board meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon. You can attend the large conference room on the 28th floor." Zhou Yaosen said.

"Good Mr. Zhou." I nodded and agreed.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I was a little surprised, as if something would happen.

The holiday is coming soon. Before the holiday, many things will be suspended and we will continue to follow up after the year. So the company is not busy for the time being. But at this period, when I just joined the board of directors and became the director of the Binjiang project, suddenly I was caught off guard to convene a board of directors.

How should I put it, the board of directors are all veterans, and they are all the people who follow Zhou Yaosen to fight the country. They are in high positions all the year round, and I am just a newcomer, at best, Zhou Yaosen’s son-in-law, who has some reputation, but ranks seniority There is nothing I can tell.

Han Yan had reminded me before that when I entered the board of directors, some people would definitely dissatisfied or even provoke me. But today, the board of directors, I am still a little nervous.

Privately, the relationship between Zhou Yaosen and I is of course different, but when discussing things on the table, Zhou Yaosen, as the president of Chuangyao Group, speaks relatively neutrally. It is too partial, and certainly not.

I take a deep breath. I don’t even know what the board of directors will talk about, but in general, it should be the company’s prospects, or some suggestions, or personal opinions.

After eating at noon, I went back to the office, but I was still a little nervous. For some reason, I always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter with you? Why do you feel a little restless?" Li Wenjing looked at me suspiciously.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I am going to have a board meeting. This is the first time." I said.

"This is a good thing. Brother Chen, you have entered the board of directors, and the appointment letter has long been down. You should go. If you are not in the board meeting, people will think that no one takes you seriously." Li Wenjing explained.

"Well, sooner or later I have to face it." I nodded.

"Brother Chen, I hope you can leave a good impression on these big guys." Li Wenjing smiled.

"Okay." I nodded and agreed.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when I left the office and approached the elevator entrance.

"Manager Chen."

With the sound of a word, I turned around to look, and then saw Xie Fengnian, the marketing director.

"Thank you Director." I greeted hurriedly.

"Go to the board of directors, right?" Xie Fengnian said, walked to the elevator with me and pressed the elevator.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Don't be nervous, there are not many directors in the company joining. Although you are a newcomer, Mr. Zhou still has quite high expectations of you." Xie Fengnian said.

"Director Xie, I'm not familiar with board members, and I haven't seen many of them. It's a bit embarrassing to get in touch with them later," I said.

To be honest, how long have I been in the company? At the beginning, I went directly to the project site in Magic Town. The people I contacted except for the project director Fang Dezhong, Zhang Mu Hou Jun and other grassroots employees, and then I came to the procurement team of the marketing department , I was in contact with Marketing Director Xie Fengnian, and besides, it was Executive Director Yuan Zhu. Apart from these three, I don’t know anyone else.

"Manager Chen and Personnel Manager Susan are the employee directors. She was elected by the employees at the employee meeting. Apart from Manager Su, they are the executive director Yuan Zhu, project director Fang Dezhong, financial director Guo Da, and business director Gao Yao. Executive Director Zhang Jiaming, and Marketing Director Ye Xiu'e, our Chuang Yao Group has a small number of board members, just a few people."

Xie Fengnian explained to me when the elevator arrived.

I tried my best to start memorizing names.

"Manager Chen, for meetings, everyone has a nameplate in front of them. You can tell by their names. Everyone has their own seat." Xie Fengnian continued.

"Okay." I nodded.

Soon, Xie Fengnian and I took the elevator together and came to the 28th floor.

Coming to the 28th floor of the capital, we walked over to the large conference room together.

Walking into the conference room, I saw a relatively large long table. I saw a woman wearing a professional suit and then visited the nameplate. I saw Yuan Zhu and Susan at a glance.

Susan is the manager of the personnel department. I contacted her when I came to the company to report earlier.

Today’s Yuan Zhu is in a black suit, sitting there, on the table in front of him, there is a cup of tea, and a nameplate that says “Administrative Director Yuan Zhu”. As for Susan sitting next to her, she saw me, yes. I smiled.

Susan gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and she smiles very sweetly. It is estimated that the interpersonal relationship in the company is relatively good, and the responsibility is not the representative of the workers' assembly.

In addition to Yuan Zhu and Susan, I met two other middle-aged men.

The two looked at me up and down. One had a curly-haired Chinese face and the other was a little bald.

According to the nameplate placed in front of me, I can confirm that the curly-haired Guozi face is Guo Da, the financial director, and Gao Yao, the business director.

"Manager Chen, hello." Yuan Zhu smiled lightly.

"Hahahaha, this is Manager Chen Nan Chen, I heard Mr. Zhou mentioned it." Guo Da laughed.

"Manager Chen, sit here!" Gao Yao patted the position beside him. There, there is my nameplate, which is obviously my position.

"Manager Chen, Director Xie, sit down for a cup of tea first, and Mr. Zhou will come right away." The woman who put the tea with a smile began.

"Good!" I nodded and agreed.

Soon, Xie Fengnian and I were seated. At this time, Xie Fengnian told me that the woman who put tea was the secretary of the board of directors, named Zhao Yingchun.

Zhao Yingchun is decent and generous. Although he looks average, he doesn't have any pretensions.
