Going on this departnt outing, I have to be careful about everything. Sharing a room with Xiaoli really isn’t convenient...
The simplest way is to switch rooms with He Kao, but unexpectedly, this guy won’t give face. Old Zhang is angry but can’t react, and suddenly he realizes in disappointnt—He Kao has changed!
He Kao is no longer the newcor who carefully watches others’ expressions, tries to offend no one, and is willing to help with anything.
He Kao has indeed changed. In the past, he would definitely feel embarrassed to refuse such a request, but now it’s not that his skin has thickened, but his mindset has changed, and his way of handling issues has evolved.
He saw through Old Zhang’s little sches and found it neither embarrassing nor awkward, just a bit amusing.
Old Zhang has no idea what he’s thinking or what he’s concerned about.
To put it bluntly, now that He Kao has co to Sawa Country, couldn’t those behind the scenes trying to deal with him follow him here? After leaving Eastern Country, one can do many unscrupulous things here.
If soone really chose this opportunity to do sothing to He Kao, and if he had switched rooms with Old Zhang, and they broke in using the hotel registration info, Old Zhang might not even know how he died!
This was just a small episode, and He Kao didn’t care, but Old Zhang wasn’t done yet.
The next morning’s breakfast was a buffet at the hotel. Zhang Duqian saw Gao Xue’e sitting there, so he brought his tray over and said, "President E, soone once said that traveling makes it easier to see a person’s true nature. I think it’s very true."
Gao Xue’e: "What are you trying to say?"
Zhang Duqian: "Do you have the feeling that He Kao has changed recently?"
Gao Xue’e: "Whether He Kao has changed or not, I am not sure. But so people, as they age, their skin just gets thicker!"
These words were clearly insinuating, making Old Zhang unable to continue speaking. He even suspected that He Kao had already complained to President E.
If even such a thing led him to complain to the leadership, that guy really has changed, becoming less sensible. In such a large unit, how can he behave this way? This won’t make him popular!
Old Zhang guessed correctly and incorrectly, because He Kao hadn’t complained to Gao Xue’e at all; he rely ntioned it as a joke.
Gao Xue’e found it amusing and exasperating.
Forget about switching rooms, even if it were official company business, Old Zhang wouldn’t have any say over He Kao. In terms of work hierarchy, He Kao’s leaders, in order, are Group Leader Huang Si, Supervisor Gao Xue’e, Vice President Qian Guran, President Fang Qizhi.
Although He Kao has "evolved," he hasn’t turned into an experienced old hand, nor does he intend to beco one, so he still can’t completely guess what the real old hand, Qian Guran, all the way in Qi Yuan, would do?
Old Qian asked He Kao to enjoy his overseas trip first and said matters could be discussed after he returned to the country. It was actually a lie.
Qian Guran’s real plan was to resolve certain issues while He Kao was away, at least to eliminate so hidden dangers, so no matter what happened, they wouldn’t involve He Kao.
With a higher position and greater cultivation, Old Qian has beco a bit inflated, or perhaps more confident, and seemingly more responsible.
On the day after He Kao went abroad, Qian Guran called Yang Lingxi to his office and decided—to stir the grass and startle the snake.
When Yang Lingxi entered, Old Qian was sitting behind the wide office desk, dealing with sothing on his laptop. He looked up and said, "Xiaoyang, co sit! Just leave the door open like this, no need to close it..."
Perhaps she didn’t hear clearly, or her hand accidentally moved the door handle, but as Yang Lingxi approached, the door gently closed.
Seeing this, Qian Guran’s heart chilled, yet he didn’t get up to open the door again, maintaining a gentle and affable deanor with a smile.
When Yang Lingxi sat down, she asked slightly nervously, "President Qian, what did you want to see about?"
Qian Guran’s tone was full of care: "You’ve been with the company for almost a month now, how are you finding it?"
Yang Lingxi: "Very good, great! Many of my classmates are envious of for being able to work at such a great company..."
Qian Guran: "How are you getting along with your colleagues?"
Yang Lingxi: "Everyone is very nice, they all take care of and have taught a lot..."
Qian Guran still smiling: "But recently I heard sothing being circulated in the company, saying a young man from a certain departnt, also newly hired this year, seems to have so conduct issues. Have you heard about it?"
Yang Lingxi had already heard that He Kao was associated with this Vice President Qian, and quickly explained, "Are you talking about He Kao? I heard about it, but I don’t believe it at all. I even argued with two colleagues over this matter a few days ago.
President Qian, is this what you wanted to see about? I know arguing is wrong and I am willing to apologize, but I was just a bit upset at the ti..."
Qian Guran shook his head and said, "On any matter, what’s worth arguing over must be argued. Without struggle, where does unity co from? But our goal is to seek unity through struggle.
I heard about this issue and even investigated specifically, using the simplest and most traditional thod – asking a few people who they heard it from and what evidence they have.
For example, Zhang San heard it from Li Si, Li Si from Wang Wu, Wang Wu from Zhao Liu, but there has to be a starting point, right? In the end, it turns out they all heard it from you, allegedly you saw it with your own eyes!
