Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 714
The old Mrs. Huang lowered her head and said: "Mr. Chen, let me talk to you. I actually watched you step by step to where you are today. At the beginning, I really didn't like you. You Don't mind, but, watching you grow, I see your potential, act decisively, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are cruel, in the workplace, I know that people like you are the most promising. I know I was wrong, So I tried every means to get close to you and win you over. It's just that you walked too fast and I couldn't keep up with you. Fortunately, I still entered your field of vision and lifted me up.

That's why I do my best and don't dare to slack off. I know you still look down on me. As long as I have a problem, you will replace me without hesitation.But the more you are afraid of making mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes. Fortunately, you haven't made any big mistakes!But that's it, I still can't satisfy you. "

I shook my head and said: "You are wrong, you are really wrong! I have never been dissatisfied with you, let alone look down on you. I just admire people with professional qualities. You I see it in my eyes when I do things conscientiously. We could be very close, but your attitude makes me unable to get close to you. If you treat me as the emperor, I can only treat you as an eunuch! Although this analogy does not Appropriate, but the words are not rough. It is an equal status, but you always make it look like I am inferior, you are my elder, I should respect you, but why do you always bow down?"

The old Mrs. Huang still lowered her head and said nothing.

I said sincerely: "Aunt Huang, as long as you work hard and have no selfishness, I will treat you like my parents!"

The old Mrs. Huang said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, thank you so much! I know what to do!"

I hurriedly waved my hands and said: "Aunt Huang, when there are no outsiders, you can just call me A Fei! From now on, just do things in your own way. If it's not right, I will talk to you directly. No one will always do good things." It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, don’t hide it, I’m most afraid of covering up a mistake with another mistake!”

The old Mrs. Huang said confidently: "Don't worry, untie the knot, I can let go and do things, and you can rest assured when I do things, I guarantee that there will be no leaks!"

I smiled and said, "I believe, I believe!"

The old Mrs. Huang is indeed very powerful, and she kept it in the past all the time, for fear that I would have a problem with her.This time, she let her go, and she naturally has her own way of doing things. After all, she has been struggling in the workplace for so many years.

She calmly asked Zhang Qi to continue working, and then began to follow the clues, checking one by one.

Zhang Qi recruited 450 people in this primary election, and nearly half of them will be eliminated. We have no way of knowing how many of these people were recruited by her in violation of regulations.Therefore, we can only take one step at a time.

Old Mrs. Huang used her many years of experience to quickly discern that 450 of the 200 people did not meet the standards. She asked Zhang Qi casually, what happened to these people?Zhang Qi's answer is very reasonable. This year, the company recruited the most people over the years, and the number of applicants is far from enough. Therefore, we can only preliminarily screen out these 450 people, and then eliminate them one by one. Although these people do not meet the company's standards , but there are still places that can be used. After training, it can still be used to great effect.

Old Mrs. Huang didn't expose her right away, but waited to see who she was going to eliminate?

I went to a few rounds of the primaries, asking simple entry questions, such as future career plans, requirements for salary and benefits, and so on.Most of the people answered ambiguously, and they couldn't see anything, but a few of them answered very fluently, as if they had memorized them in advance. However, this is not surprising, after all, the interview questions of various companies are different It's the same.

But the strange thing is that there are only about 20 people, and the answers are almost the same. I guess if I can copy them, the punctuation marks may be the same.

Needless to say, Mrs. Huang paid special attention to these 20 people.

In the written test, in fact, what we are testing is not professional knowledge at all, and it is impossible for them to understand it. These are knowledge that cannot be learned in universities.However, I want to see their adaptability, logical thinking ability, and writing level.

As soon as the results came out, these 20 people became very dazzling, and their scores were particularly outstanding. The questions were the same. Although they answered differently, they were very close. You don't need to think about it. They must have known the questions in advance.

No matter how capable people are, they can't answer our written test questions, not even me.The person who wrote the question did not have an accurate answer. After all, this is not a school exam. The question is not rigorous, and I don’t care whether they can answer it accurately, but these 20 people have answered perfectly. This is a problem. up.

I took the test papers of these 20 people and sat in the conference room, and I planned to review them one by one.

Old Mrs. Huang sat on my left, Zhang Qi sat on my right, and An An arranged for people to come in one by one.

Among the 20 people, Zhao Shi is also there, which makes me a little strange. His uncle should have told him and greeted me, and he doesn't need to cheat so sneakily like everyone else.

After he came in, he looked at us very calmly, then sat calmly opposite me, and greeted us politely: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, Assistant Mr. Zhang!"

I hummed and looked at Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi asked directly: "Zhao Shi, we have seen your test paper and your score is very high. Now we are going to have a final interview with you. Can you tell me first, after the internship in the workshop , which department do you plan to enter and develop your expertise?"

Zhao Shi said confidently: "Sales, sales are the most training people. I want to be in sales! My advantage is that I am good at communicating with people and can speak convincingly. I am also outgoing and like to meet people."

Zhang Qi hummed, and looked at old Mrs. Huang, who asked, "I heard that when Mr. Chen interviewed you, you said that you only wanted to use all of us as your springboard to gild your resume. Then you If you don't plan to work here for a long time, why should we keep you?"

Zhao Shi confidently repeated what he had said to me.

It’s okay to deal with me, but it’s obviously not good for the old Mrs. Huang. The old Mrs. Huang said sternly: “What our company wants is the stability of employees. If you don’t want to work in our company for a long time from the beginning, then we don’t have to To keep you, I hope you will think it over before deciding whether you want to come to our company or not?"

Before waiting for my question, he said directly: "You go home and wait for the news!"

I was also stunned for a moment, because I told the old Mrs. Huang before that this matter about Zhao Shi was greeted by a leader. I thought she would fully cooperate, even if it was to make him difficult, but in the end she would Let him pass, it's just a formality, even though I know her two words, I will drive him away!

Zhao Shi walked out as if he didn't care.

I looked at the old Mrs. Huang, but she never looked at me, asking me what I meant, I was expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

Next, the "interrogation" of several other people began. The old Mrs. Huang was surprisingly strict, and she didn't let anyone go.

After the end, the old Mrs. Huang said to me: "Mr. Chen, I don't think this group of people can do it! Or don't we need it?"

I nodded in astonishment and said, "Just arrange it! I'm just here to take a look!"

Looking at it again, Zhang Qi was obviously a little anxious. Seeing that I was about to leave, she hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, I think Mr. Huang may be too strict. After all, they are all college students who have just graduated, and they may be nervous for a while. There are excuses, as long as a little training, I believe they can still become talents, besides, these people are carefully selected, to be cultivated as the backbone, now all of them are gone, so the previous work is not all in vain Done! Look, do you want to think about it again?"

I groaned and said, "I'm just here to listen. I just want to see if I can discover some backbones who I think have potential. As for the final decision, it's not up to me. You should respect Mr. Huang's opinion!"

After speaking, he stopped looking at her expression and walked out.

Soon the company spread the news out of nowhere, Zhao Shi, who was my official candidate, was ruthlessly screened out by the old Mrs. Huang, who didn't give me any face, which made me furious.

Zhang Qi was quite tolerant, and she didn't come to me until the list of new employees was about to be finalized.

I smiled and asked Zhang Qi, "Recently, you have a lot of work, so it must be hard work?"

Zhang Qi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not hard work, this is what we should do! I came to you because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

I groaned, pointed to the sofa next to me and said, "Sit down and chat while drinking tea!"

Zhang Qi was a little excited, she didn't expect my attitude to be so gentle, and said: "Then I'll go clubbing, I'm a Hakka, and I often drink tea at home!"

I nodded and said, "Really? You don't look like a Hakka, and you don't even speak like one!"

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "You may be prejudiced against our Hakka people. Is there anything special about our Hakka people's appearance?"

I laughed and said, "No, no, I'm also half a Fujianese. Speaking of which, we are also of the same family. The root of our language family is one. We Fujianese are quite distinctive in appearance, but now the north and the south are intermarried. More, after countless generations of evolution, it has become less obvious!"

Zhang Qi hummed and said: "Yes! It has changed a lot! You are not the only one who said that, many people have said that!"

I knew that Zhang Qi had let his guard down on me, so I asked, "What do you want from me? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Qi hesitated for a while and said, "I know, I know that I may have skipped the rank if I asked you to talk about work, but I think I still have to talk, so I can't vomit!"

I hurriedly said: "Then vomit quickly, or you will feel uncomfortable if you hold it in!"

Zhang Qi chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen, it's so funny. That's it. I think Mrs. Huang is too strict in recruiting this time. Many good seedlings should be kept, but she cut them all off. It's such a pity! It's hard to find talents now, isn't it too hasty for the company to attach so much importance this time?"

Then he lowered his head and put a cup of brewed tea in front of me.

I took a sip, nodded my head and said, "The tea is brewed just right. It seems that you have really worked hard. I have also noticed what you said, but it is your Huang Boss' decision. I am not good at it." Intervene!"

Zhang Qi plucked up her courage and said, "Mr. Chen, there are still many things that you don't know! I kept it in my heart all the time. I was afraid that you might misunderstand me and think I was telling stories, so I didn't tell you!"

I encouraged her and said: "It's okay, I know everything here, and I can say it all. Say it! After talking, as long as it is the truth, I will make the decision for you!"

Zhang Qi hummed and said, "Mr. Huang has always been dissatisfied with you, especially the appointment of Mr. Yuan as the vice president of administration. She is very dissatisfied. Over the years, it has been yin and yang, and you have arranged it." It seems that she is responding positively here, but she keeps saying bad things about you behind her back. Everyone in our department knows that we have always been very dissatisfied with her, but she has power in her hands. Anyone who dares to express any objection will immediately Wearing small shoes for someone, retaliation, several colleagues who left last year, all because they offended her and accidentally said the wrong thing, they were punished by her! We really can't stand such a working environment!"

I poured myself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, and said, "This tea is brewed by a hundred people, so it has a hundred flavors. It is obviously the same tea and the same water!"

Zhang Qi didn't understand what I meant, so I continued to ask, "Are you alone thinking this way, or do everyone in your department think this way?"

Zhang Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I think everyone thinks so, right? I have discussed it with them in private, but they are also under the influence of President Huang and dare not speak out."

I thought for a while and said: "Then it's not easy to deal with this matter. After all, I didn't hear it with my own ears, or it was your collective reaction. She didn't do anything wrong. I can only say that there is a problem with her leadership method. There is a problem with her character, which has nothing to do with her ability to work!"

Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "Of course it's related. The recruitment work like this one is a major mistake. Isn't the brain drain more important than anything else! I have worked so hard to find so many good seedlings, and I drove them all away at once. Many of these are related to the family, and we can use them in the future..."

Before she finished speaking, she realized that she had talked too much, and hurriedly added: "Just like this Zhao Shi, I heard that you hand-picked him, and he won't give you any face, and you won't be able to ask the leader for business in the future, right? "

I smiled and said: "Yes, Zhao Shi was greeted by the superiors, which made it difficult for me to do it! Actually, I think that I can pass as long as I can. They are all college students who have just graduated. How capable are they? Whether or not we can become talents depends on our later training, it depends on their performance after entering the company, it is too early to draw conclusions so early, we should give them a chance!"

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you can understand it, that's it. It's a harmless thing, why bother to be so picky!"

I hummed and said, "That's right!"
