Ti passed so slowly that each minute beca a tornt.
Occasionally, Huang Xiaojue’s gaze would drift her way. She would imdiately lower her head, keeping it bowed. Actually, the male colleagues in front of are all taller, already shielding like mountains. I don’t need to keep my head down like this. But I’ve forgotten that, like an ostrich silently burying its head in the sand, thinking no one else can see it.
Finally, the eting ended amidst a round of applause.
She let out a long sigh of relief. When she looked up, several people were gathered around Huang Xiaojue, animatedly discussing sothing. From beginning to end, Huang Xiaojue hadn’t cast a single glance in her direction.
A large group of people escorted Huang Xiaojue away. The rookies also returned to their posts, awaiting their new work assignnts. Yan Xixi, blending into the crowd, suddenly realized: Huang Xiaojue hadn’t recognized —he hadn’t even seen at all!
He was already heading for the executive elevator to the General Manager’s office on the 27th floor. anwhile, she, Yan Xixi, along with all the other rank-and-file employees, was on the 16th floor—their paths completely divergent.
At one point, he suddenly turned around. Yan Xixi quickly ducked to the side, so scared she barely dared to breathe. But she soon realized soone was calling out to him, "Mr. Huang... Mr. Huang..."
He still hadn’t seen her at all.
Not until he entered the elevator. Really, it’s as if he had no idea I was also in that crowd.
Yan Xixi slowly ca to a realization. There are dozens of new hires, and I was standing at the very back, blocked by others. As the General Manager, how could he possibly get a clear look at everyone in such a short ti?
She didn’t know whether to feel relieved or anxious.
Seeing her lagging behind, her female colleague Ouyang reminded her, "Hurry up! It’s our first day eting the team leader. Don’t be late."
She had intended to go to Huang Ying’s office, but after Ouyang’s reminder, she hesitated for a mont before quickly running to her team’s area. The team had twelve people, led by Fu i, a shrewd and formidable woman. Seeing Yan Xixi and Ouyang arrive last, Fu i’s expression imdiately darkened. "If there’s one thing I detest in my life, it’s unpunctual won! You all better rember this: work isn’t like chasing a man, and the office isn’t a date. If you want to act like a diva or put on airs of arrogance, then I’m sorry, but you can just go ho..."
She glanced at her watch. "However, everyone did very well today. No one was late. Even the last ones to arrive were two minutes early! Two minutes—rember that. This is the gap between you and others. In everything, always aim to be two minutes ahead, never two minutes behind. Otherwise, you’re finished..."
Yan Xixi and Ouyang exchanged a glance, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Thank goodness we still arrived two minutes early. I didn’t dare imagine what would have happened if we’d been two minutes late—she would have definitely chewed us out!
Reading through docunts, familiarizing herself with procedures, getting acquainted with the business operations... It was only then that Yan Xixi received the company’s internal newsletter for the first ti. To think, they didn’t even distribute these materials during the month-long intensive training! If I had received them earlier, I would have quit on the spot.
The newsletter contained a very detailed feature profile of Huang Xiaojue, basically chronicling his legendary career. He had been transferred to the Southwest Region as its Regional Manager. Within half a year, business there had soared. That year, he beca an industry legend, virtually transforming a major region into a corporate heavyweight. Early this year, he was promoted to General Manager of the Southwest Region. In nearly two years, he adhered to the company’s performance assessnt system. Based on his business achievents and rits, he had earned an equity reward of five percentage points.
