Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 2124 Workaholic Boss

Xue Ling treated Xiao Tong to lunch, and then got in the car and returned to Xinyuan.

While on the road, she called Zheng Duoduo, but unexpectedly she couldn't get through, and the prompt sounded that her phone was turned off.

She simply dialed the landline number in his office, but the secretary answered and explained that he was in a meeting.

Xue Ling's face was filled with doubts: "Isn't it lunch break time now?"

The secretary couldn't recognize Xue Ling's voice and didn't know she was the chairman. He just politely explained that there was an impromptu meeting and asked her if she needed to leave a message.

Xue Ling thought for a moment and replied, "No, I'll be there in a moment."

After saying this, she hung up the call and told her bodyguard to change her itinerary and go to the group headquarters.

There were not many cars on the road at this time, and she arrived at the group's gate half an hour later.

She took the high-rise exclusive elevator and found that no one came to use the elevator along the way, so she stopped halfway and went around to the mid-to-high-rise office.

The staff offices are quiet, and most employees are either resting or holding their mobile phones.

She didn't go in to disturb her, and when she found that several familiar senior officials were not there, she smiled bitterly to herself, and then went to the top-floor conference room.

Sure enough, Zheng Duoduo was having a meeting with more than a dozen senior leaders.

Xue Ling smiled helplessly and turned around to go to Zheng Duoduo's office.

The male secretary was typing away when he saw her appear and quickly stood up to greet her.

"Hello, Chairman! Why - why are you here at this time? Please sit inside."

Xue Ling said warmly: "I'm just here to take a look, nothing else."

The secretary poured her tea respectfully.

Xue Ling thanked me and took it, pretending to ask casually: "I have to work overtime for a meeting during lunch break? Why didn't you go over to help?"

The secretary replied: "The assistant is over there. I still have some meeting minutes that I haven't summarized, so I didn't go there."

Seeing his normal expression, Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Recently, the meeting has been changed to noon? Why don't you take a break during lunch break?"

The secretary was slightly embarrassed and explained: "Mr. Zheng said a few days ago that everyone should not work overtime and finish their work earlier and leave work on time. There are only so many tasks in normal times. If you want to get off work on time, you can only shorten your lunch break." .Some important meetings are in the morning, and some are during the lunch break.”

Xue Ling nodded lightly and said warmly: "I'll just wait here for Duoduo. Just go ahead and don't delay your work."

"No, no." The secretary was a little flattered and said, "It won't be delayed at all. If it's later, I can do it faster."

Xue Ling put down the teacup and explained: "I'm a little tired from the car ride here and want to close my eyes for a while. You go ahead."

The secretary nodded and stepped back, closing the door very considerately.

Xue Ling was indeed a little tired. He rubbed his stiff neck and leaned on the sofa chair to stretch and twist his head.

I was busy until midnight yesterday and didn't get enough sleep.Normally she would take a short lunch break at home, but today she didn't have to catch up on any sleep when she went out.

Fortunately, the leather sofa was comfortable enough for her to lean on and squint.She dozed off and soon woke up.

Zheng Duoduo still hasn't come back. There is a clicking sound of keyboard outside. It is obvious that the secretary is still busy.

She got up and walked around the office, looking at Zheng Duoduo's desk.

"Sister Ling!" Zheng Duoduo walked briskly and asked with a surprise smile: "Why are you here? What kind of wind is blowing today!"

Xue Ling turned around and saw that he was holding several documents in his hands, and the assistant behind him was also holding them full.

"If you don't take a lunch break at noon, what are you doing here?"

Zheng Duoduo replied: "It's just a short meeting."

Xue Ling saw that he answered calmly and calmly, and couldn't help crying or laughing.

"As for working so hard? You have to work overtime even during lunch break? No way!"

Zheng Duoduo sighed helplessly: "The efficiency is too low. It wastes a lot of time going around and around one thing. Otherwise, there would be no need to use the lunch break to work overtime for meetings."

"Inefficient?" Xue Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really?"

Zheng Duoduo nodded: "It is indeed low. In the past, some employees worked overtime from time to time, even late at night. Now is not the busiest time at the end of the year, how can there be so much work to do. After checking, I found that employees in many departments have Procrastination means putting off things that could be done quickly, until you get off work, so you have to stay and work overtime. I simply asked the logistics department to notify me that I would get off work at five o'clock, and turn off the lights in the office at six o'clock in the evening. The effect is quite good, there is much less overtime work.”

Xue Ling chuckled softly: "So, why don't you just ask employees not to work overtime? The work must be completed before getting off work. If you really can't finish it, just work overtime during lunch break?"

"No!" Zheng Duoduo came over, lifted up his sleeves and massaged the back of her neck, explaining: "I asked them to improve their efficiency, try not to work overtime, and get off work on time in the afternoon. If your hands and feet are too slow, you can use your lunch break to catch up. Lunch breaks are usually two hours long, but it’s quite generous to spare an hour occasionally.”

Xue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Some people are born with slow limbs and slow reactions. You can't force it like this, right? How can one size fits all? There are so many people in the group, and there are always special circumstances!"

What does it feel like to have a strict and hard-working boss?
Although Xue Ling had never worked under Zheng Duoduo, she felt that she could not relax.

Your superior is working hard, but you can fish under his nose?Even if you can touch it for a while, it won't last long.

In addition, such a motivated and hard-working boss will also put a lot of pressure on employees.

People who are better than you and have a higher starting point than you are working so hard, why don't you?Why not work hard?

"Yes!" Zheng Duoduo explained: "I have already said that if you really can't finish the work, you can catch up before turning off the lights, but you can't stay in the company for several hours. One person works overtime, and the lights in the entire office are on. The bathroom is open, as is the tea room, including the corridor outside, etc. The work efficiency is low and dragging down, not only dragging down other colleagues, but also wasting so much of the company's resources. If you really can't finish the work, you can go home and make up for it. If you feel you are still not qualified, then resign.”

Xue Lingxiao asked: "Has anyone resigned voluntarily?"

"No." Zheng Duoduo replied: "Most people have stopped procrastinating and can basically complete the task."

Xue Ling nodded in approval: "There is nothing better than being able to go to and from get off work on time. If you work for a long time, your enthusiasm will become worse, and your efficiency will also decrease unconsciously. Try to improve your efficiency, get off work on time and don't work overtime. Working overtime is not a good habit, so don't do it if you can. try not to."

"That's right!" Zheng Duoduo said: "Some meetings are simply moved to the lunch break to improve efficiency."

Xue Ling chuckled: "The middle and senior leaders are no longer young, so we have to give them enough time to catch up on their sleep."

"Yes!" Zheng Duoduo explained: "The lunch break meeting will not exceed an hour. More than an hour is enough for them to catch up on sleep. Many people don't take a break at all during the lunch break, either checking their phones or watching dramas and chatting. Make use of it and work hard in the afternoon. Get off work on time and do whatever you like."
