779: Chapter 0780: The New Secretary Bai i [Third Update] 779: Chapter 0780: The New Secretary Bai i [Third Update] The food at the Eiffel Chain Hotel’s cafeteria was still quite good, at least not inferior to that of Xingyue Group.
Moreover, perhaps because of its connection to the hospitality industry, the dishes there were more to Ye Qiu’s taste.
By the ti Ye Qiu finished his lunch, Luo Fei and Xia Lan had already eaten, while Secretary Su seed sowhat distracted and had eaten very little.
It might have been because Xia Lan was about to appoint a new secretary.
Over the years, as Li Fei’s secretary, although Su had been busy with work, she seed to have grown accustod to a relatively comfortable routine.
Nobody expected that with Li Fei’s downfall, his wife, Xia Lan, would rise to power.
Now that she had taken over, Secretary Su clearly felt that things were different from before.
The four of them took the elevator to the president’s office.
Just as they sat down, there was a knock at the door.
When Luo Fei went to open it, he saw Deputy Director Wang walking in with a young white-collar woman who looked to be around 23 or 24 years old.
In Huaxia, if there was anything plentiful, it was people.
Furthermore, it was the season where university graduates were searching for jobs—especially many of them wanting to join big companies right after graduation.
That morning, as Xia Lan sought out a new female secretary, Deputy Director Wang saw an opportunity.
From the personnel departnt’s talent database, he quickly located the information of Bai i, a graduate from Jinling University’s administrative career program.
Bai i had already submitted her resu and had interned at the hotel group’s headquarters for a while.
However, she was essentially new, having had very little interaction with the managerial staff across departnts.
Deputy Director Wang believed recomnding Bai i as Xia Lan’s secretary was an excellent choice.
Just two hours prior, Bai i, who was working in a departnt under the personnel division and had not yet started her formal employnt, was summoned to Deputy Director Wang’s office.
As a recent graduate venturing out into the workforce, Bai i appeared quite naive compared to the experienced old-tirs.
She seed focused solely on work, without any ulterior motives.
When called over by Deputy Director Wang, Bai i had felt puzzled.
After all, her imdiate supervisor was just a departnt manager, far removed from soone as high-ranking as Deputy Director Wang.
“Your na is Bai i, right?
A recent graduate from Jinling University?”
Wang Chengcai asked.
“Deputy Director Wang, my na is Bai i.
I just received my diploma in July.
I’m still in my internship period and haven’t started full-ti employnt yet.”
Even though Bai i was a well-credentialed graduate from Jin University, her internship at Eiffel Chain Hotel was still three months long.
During this ti, any lack of teamwork displayed during work could prevent her from becoming a full-fledged employee.
That’s why Bai i, still working in the personnel departnt, was puzzled about why Deputy Director Wang had called her over.
“That’s good.
I’ve just received a request from President Xia to find her a new secretary.
I’m planning to assign you to the role.
Are you ntally prepared for this?”
President Xia?
Who was President Xia?
Bai i hadn’t heard of her before.
She had been working at the hotel group for quite so ti and had only heard of President Li.
As for the other five shareholders, they were reportedly honorary vice presidents with no practical power.
“President Xia is President Li’s wife.
Now that sothing has happened to President Li, President Xia has taken over his position; hence, she’s looking for a new secretary.
If you’re not up for it, I’ll recomnd soone else.”
“Deputy Director Wang, I—I can do it.”
Bai i responded quickly.
This was an excellent opportunity; how could she possibly let it slip away?
After all, graduating and imdiately having the chance to beco the president’s secretary was practically a shortcut to success.
“Good.”
Deputy Director Wang didn’t say much else.
He could already tell that while Xia Lan might seem ordinary, the young man by her side was far from simple.
Initially, he had planned to say more to Bai i, but he realized it was pointless to elaborate now.
When Wang Chengcai took Bai i to the president’s office door, he knocked directly before entering.
There he saw the unassuming young man still inside.
“President Xia, I’ve found a suitable candidate to be your new secretary.
This is Bai i, Miss Bai, whom I’ve recomnded.
She’s a recent graduate from Jinling University and is currently an intern in the personnel departnt.”
Wang Chengcai said.
Xia Lan took one glance at the young woman in front of her, who still seed very green.
She was clearly fresh out of university, reminiscent of Xia Lan herself when she had first joined this hotel.
“Alright, you can stay,” Xia Lan replied.
With that, Deputy Director Wang didn’t linger.
Once Deputy Director Wang left, Luo Fei closed the door again.
Naturally, Bai i recognized Secretary Su Xiaomin, who had previously served President Li.
Likewise, Su Xiaomin looked at the newly arrived Bai i.
“Your last na is Bai?”
Xia Lan asked.
“President Xia, my na is Bai i—Bai as in white, and i as in plum blossom,” Bai i explained while standing off to the side.
“Currently, Secretary Su is still handling the main tasks.
You’ll assist her and help manage all matters, big and small, within the company.
Got it?”
“President Xia, I understand,” Bai i replied quickly.
Initially, she had thought perhaps President Xia no longer needed Su Xiaomin, but it turned out Su Xiaomin was still in the picture.
Ye Qiu glanced at Bai i and then turned to Xia Lan, contemplating how she should conduct the afternoon eting to bolster her prestige in the company.
These were details Ye Qiu needed to coach Xia Lan on in advance since he wouldn’t be accompanying her then.
As for the mid-level and senior managers who might face reassignnts or demotions, and where they should be placed in new roles, these decisions were all part of what Ye Qiu had to handle right now.
Having read through all the personnel files of the hotel group the previous night, Ye Qiu was now rapidly processing them in his mind, reorganizing the human resources structure.
“Mr.
Ye, what if they object to the decisions when the ti cos?”
Xia Lan asked.
“Object?
Of course they’ll object.
That’s only natural.
It then cos down to your thods—show them exactly why those decisions were made,” Ye Qiu responded.
He realized Xia Lan was utterly inexperienced in such matters.
At this point, she was like a blank canvas that needed his careful guidance and training.
Therefore, he figured it would be a good idea to recomnd a few books for Xia Lan to read after work.
However, Ye Qiu knew not everyone could achieve his level of skill; others needed to learn step by step.
As for the managers reassigned or demoted, their grievances were entirely normal.
If no one expressed dissatisfaction, that would actually seem suspicious and warrant closer scrutiny.
After Ye Qiu finished drafting the personnel reassignnt list and handed it to Xia Lan, she likely still didn’t fully understand the details concerning the managers listed.
At this mont, Ye Qiu asked Secretary Su to explain these individuals’ backgrounds to Xia Lan, giving her a general impression.
This naturally left Secretary Su shocked.
How could this plain-dressed Ye Qiu be so familiar with these matters?
