After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Soon, Xu Boan found that his thoughts were too simple.

If this happened in China, fast food like instant noodles, ham, braised eggs and pickled mustard tubers could be bought in almost every convenience store and supermarket.

But now in a foreign country, Xu Bo'an searched the school supermarket thoroughly but couldn't find the above items.

Perhaps some large supermarkets will have these imported foods, but the supermarkets within the hospital usually sell mainly common and affordable local foods.

That’s right, these cheap fast foods in your mind are actually real imported delicacies abroad.

Xu Boan had seen a news report before that a bottle of chili sauce that is commonly available in the cafeteria and costs about 10 yuan is sold overseas for between 8 and 15 US dollars.

The equally famous pickled mustard tuber, which costs about one to two yuan per bag, is also sold several times more expensive overseas, reaching as high as 2 to 5 US dollars!

After these things, which seem very affordable in normal times, are exported, their prices soar to the level of luxury meals after taking into account logistics costs, tariffs, VAT and other taxes, local food safety certification and the difference earned by local middlemen.

After all, schools are places for students, so they generally don't sell such expensive things.

In desperation, Xu Boan had to buy some local sausages and bread from the Aeseliya Federation. Although they also sold pizza and hamburgers, these things had to be heated, and it was not convenient for the little ones to share and heat them, so sausages and bread were more suitable as their military rations!

After buying more than ten sausages and more than twenty loaves of bread in one go, Xu Bo'an paid the bill and left.

Then, as Yan Shouyi kowtowed and expressed his gratitude, Xu Bo'an gave these things to Yan Shouyi and the others before leaving.

At this time, Ouyang Najie also finished class.

After Xu Bo'an received a call from Ouyang Najie, he went to accept the invitation and attend the dinner party organized by Shi Heng Group.

When Xu Bo'an and Ouyang Najie arrived at the hotel, Shi Heng was chatting enthusiastically with Chen Zhihao, and he no longer had the fear he had just shown in the Colosseum of the Dog King Competition.

Seriously speaking, both Shi Heng and Chen Zhihao can be considered successful people. One is well-known in Cuicheng, and the other has achieved some success in the industry and has been able to attract investment to make films.

The biggest characteristic of these successful people is that they are open-minded!

After all, a person's success is often accompanied by challenges, failures, and uncertainties. In the process of pursuing their goals, these people have long discovered that dwelling too much on the past or worrying about the future does not solve the problem, but may hinder progress. Therefore, they are more inclined to accept the status quo with an open mind and look for solutions to the problem.

This is probably what people often say: you can never teach others, but you can learn once you are taught. As people accumulate experience, they also smooth their mentality. After repeated setbacks, they gradually learn how to adjust their mentality, and then they will face difficulties and setbacks with a positive and optimistic attitude.

So, even though they had just encountered such a dangerous thing not long ago, they have now turned the page.

Seeing Xu Bo'an come in, Shi Heng and Chen Zhihao stopped their current topic at the same time, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

After a few pleasantries, the dinner began.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the group was chatting happily. Xu Bo'an had just finished a glass of wine and was about to pick up some food when his cell phone beside him suddenly rang.

Seeing the name "Su Tai" on the caller ID, Xu Bo'an sobered up a little, said a few polite words to the people around him, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the box.

For important calls, be sure to find a quieter place if possible. This is the most basic practice in the workplace.

Fortunately, in this top-class hotel, there is no peculiar smell in the bathroom, so it will not affect people's mood.

"Hello, Mr. Su!" After closing the door, Xu Bo'an greeted politely.

Su Tai smiled and said kindly, "Boan, let's not be so polite. I called you this time because the higher-ups have made up their minds to promote enterprise reform, which involves your personal career planning. I want to hear your opinion."

Enterprise reform?

Hearing this topic, Xu Bo'an's expression suddenly became serious.

This kind of thing is a big deal for every working person.

"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Su!" Although Su Tai was polite, Xu Bo'an did not change his words. After all, public is public and private is private.

No matter how close the relationship is in private, proper respect must be shown when talking about work. This is also a basic quality in the workplace.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with referring to one’s job title when working, right?
There was a sound of flipping pages on the other end of the phone. It should be Su Tai flipping through the documents at hand. After a few seconds, Su Tai said, "It's like this.
Boan, according to the relevant content of the notice on enterprise adjustment plan just issued above, all the construction group companies in our province will be restructured and merged into one group to manage.

As for our Construction Group, we will first merge all the companies related to the construction industry into one and participate in the overall reform to increase competitiveness. The first thing to do is to merge your first and second companies."

Having said that, Su Tai paused, intentionally giving Xu Boan time to think.

While Xu Boan was listening to Su Tai's words, his brain was working rapidly at the same time.

The company adjusted and reformed, and its construction companies were merged into one!
In this way, the organizational framework of the grassroots project department will not change, and there will be no issue of staff reduction.

However, the number of staff members in the company's organs, especially those in leadership positions, will be reduced significantly.

In other words, the number of leadership positions will be greatly reduced, and many people will face the problem of diversion.

Su Tai picked up the teacup and took a sip of water before continuing, "I called you to ask for your opinion on whether you want to come to the group headquarters or choose a project to do project management work for a few years."

Whenever there is an adjustment and reform involving a group company, it is inevitable that changes will occur not only in the subordinate companies, but the group headquarters will also have to set aside certain jobs to absorb some personnel.

Naturally, Su Tai has certain, even great, authority to decide the deployment and use of these personnel.

The two suggestions Su Tai gave to Xu Boan are both ways to choose the best from the best.

The former can directly work with Su Tai in the group, not only will he be promoted quickly, but with Su Tai around, Xu Bo'an's life will not be bad. Moreover, he can live in a prosperous city, with less money, less work, close to home and a comfortable life!

If he chooses the latter project, with Su Tai's care, Xu Bo'an will definitely choose a large project with good performance, where the bonuses, dividends and performance are very generous.

However, compared with the headquarters of the group, the living conditions of the projects under construction are definitely not that good. The main thing is to make good money and enjoy the pleasure and freedom of being the top leader! Another major factor is qualifications! The qualifications of working on grassroots projects are very important for the future career development of an engineer.

In this situation, it would be difficult for anyone to make a decision.

But for Xu Boan, it was not that difficult. First, he was not short of money!
Second, he had experience as a grassroots project leader and had Su Tai's care.

So he can pass the second option first.

But Xu Boan didn't plan to choose the first one!
Because for someone who has been the head of a company, it really doesn't make sense to work as an ordinary manager at a higher level.

Unless he plans to stay in this corporate industry for the rest of his life.

But Xu Boan obviously didn't plan to do that.

As Xu Boan's understanding of the golden finger of the bonsai world becomes deeper and deeper, he is bound to have greater and more unique developments.

If you keep working in the workplace, sooner or later, some unexpected problems will arise.

The simplest example is that he now works full-time at Dongjiang Erjian, where he has relatively free time and space and privacy.

In this way, it will be more convenient for him to manage and experience the bonsai world.

But if you go to work at the group headquarters, it won't be so convenient to do things. First of all, you won't be free in time, you won't have so much privacy in space, and work coordination will be more passive.

Right now the most important thing for Xu Boan is to make good use of his golden finger, so Xu Boan does not plan to choose the first option.

In this case, the answer is obvious.

On the other end of the phone, Su Tai saw that Xu Boan didn't speak for a long time, and thought that Xu Boan was extremely conflicted and didn't know how to make a good choice.

Su Tai still cared about Xu Bo'an after all, so he immediately said in a comforting tone: "Bo'an, don't be nervous or upset. This matter is not that urgent. If you think it through in the next two or three days, just tell me."

Xu Bo'an let out a long breath and said, "Brother Su, I really appreciate your kindness. I know you are thinking about me, but I still want to ask if there are any other options."

Su Tai was stunned when he heard this.

Because the two options he told Xu Boan were already the best options in his opinion.

What does Xu Bo'an mean by asking this? Don't you believe in yourself?
Su Tai suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Before he could say anything else, Xu Bo'an continued, "Brother Su, logically speaking, when it comes to this type of major reform, there should be some plans for stepping down or simply retiring, such as having a certain length of service or meeting some other requirements to be able to retire early or retire internally! Right?"

Hearing Xu Boan say this, Su Tai was shocked again.

Xu Boan asked if there were any retirement plans, and his thoughts were obvious.

Su Tai couldn't help but said, "What? Bo'an! You want to quit! You have to think about this carefully!"

In Su Tai's opinion, Xu Bo'an is currently in his prime and now has such a good platform and resources. It would be a pity if he did not continue working in the workplace.

Although Su Tai also knew that Xu Boan was not short of money, at least with the hangover liquid, Xu Boan was like having a cash cow!

But Su Tai still feels that work is the most important way to realize the value of life.

Especially for those who are used to being in leadership positions, sometimes they feel that as long as they can move up a level, it doesn’t matter if they earn less money.

On the one hand, I can realize my own life value and make more contributions to the company and even the society.

Secondly, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. From ancient times to the present, who doesn’t want to hold power over the world?

The picturesque landscape you mentioned and the picturesque landscape I understand are definitely two different concepts!
That's why Su Tai completely didn't understand why Xu Boan had such thoughts and choices.

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Brother Su, to tell you the truth, it has been more than ten years since I started working, and this is the first time I have such a caring brother to lean on. It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

But after more than ten years of working on construction projects, my body is really not able to bear it anymore. I came abroad this time to recuperate, and on the other hand, I actually want to clear my mind and think about my future. "

Su Tai nodded. When Xu Boan said these words, he was also thinking about Xu Boan's true thoughts in his heart.

There are only a few simple reasons for wanting to quit. The most classic ones are the two mentioned by a certain big shot: either there is not enough money or the work is not going well.

But this does not apply to Xu Bo'an today.

From an economic perspective, Xu Bo'an's salary income is indeed not low.

In terms of working environment and atmosphere, Xu Bo'an now has a strong backer above him and subordinates below him. It can be said that he is happier doing this job than ever before.

Then there are two more important reasons why he wants to leave. First, his body does not allow it! Second, there is a better choice!

Regarding Xu Boan's health, the company has just organized a physical examination. Su Tai is aware of the physical examination reports of the entire company. Xu Boan's name is not on the list of managers with major problems.

In other words, Xu Boan's health is still good.

But when he thought of a better option, Su Tai's eyes lit up.

Although with his own care, Su Tai could ensure that Xu Boan had a bright career future in the company, but when it came to other aspects, Su Tai had to admit that Xu Boan had better choices.

For example, money prospects!
As long as Xu Boan is willing, the cash cow of hangover liquid can bring him endless wealth!
However, if you continue to work in the company, doing part-time work to generate income is obviously not allowed in the workplace. If you quietly do some side job to generate income, it doesn't matter, but if you want to make it bigger and stronger in a big way, it is obviously not suitable.

It doesn't make sense that the company spends money to support you, but you don't work hard, but instead use your mind and time to do a side job to earn extra money. This is unacceptable in any way!

So in this case, the best option is to quit your job and work on your own!

Although Su Tai did not guess the reason correctly, his guess was almost right.

It’s simply that Su Tai thought Xu Boan was after money, while Xu Boan was after the golden finger which was more powerful than money!
Su Tai, who thought he had figured it out, suddenly realized what was going on and understood Xu Bo'an's choice. (End of this chapter)
