After the divorce, I became a mountain god

In fact, Xu Boan and Zheng Qiudong did have a relationship.

Previously, Zheng Qiudong asked Xu Boan to borrow a car because his wife's relative was getting married and lacked a wedding car, so they had some personal interactions.

It sounds like Zheng Qiudong wants something from Xu Boan, but that is not the case.

Frankly speaking, this was an opportunity for Zheng Qiudong to give Xu Boan a chance to get closer to himself. To put it bluntly, it was to extend an olive branch and establish a relationship with Xu Boan!
It's like your dear father gave you a hundred yuan, but only asked you to buy him a pack of cigarettes worth thirty or fifty yuan. Is he asking you to run errands?
No, no!
This is a benefit given to you by your old man to make you happy!

In daily interactions between people, mutual help is necessary for exchanges. Otherwise, if there is no opportunity to interact with each other throughout the year, how can the relationship be deepened? It is almost a fantasy!

In terms of level, Xu Boan is now lower than Zheng Qiudong, probably only half a level lower, but this half a level is a tiny difference, and the gap is a thousand miles.

You have to know that when He Qiang was the head of Dongjiang Second Construction, he was at the same level as Zheng Qiudong, but he might not have as much face as Xu Bo'an.

The Construction Group is a giant with more than 20 subsidiaries of various types and countless branches.

If you don't look at the information and let the group's top management talk about it without any evidence, they may not be able to name all the subsidiaries.

Zheng Qiudong's position as human resources director can be said to dominate the career development and destiny of tens of thousands of people.

In ancient times, if the Construction Group was compared to a country, Zheng Qiudong would be the Minister of Personnel! He was the head of the six ministries and a first-class official!

Such a powerful position has more influence than some ordinary deputy positions in the group that are ranked lower.

As for Zheng Qiudong, the reason why he showed goodwill to Xu Bo'an, including his current enthusiasm towards Xu Bo'an, was simply because of Chairman Su's face.

After all, Zheng Qiudong didn't know much about Xu Boan except for the work experience on his resume. If he hadn't seen that Su Tai valued Xu Boan very much, he wouldn't have had so much free time to provide door-to-door service.

Su Taigui is the head of the Construction Group, and this is the person Su Tai wants to cling to. Firstly, Chairman Su is his direct leader and can decide the lifeblood of the entire company's personnel. Only by following Chairman Su's footsteps closely can his career go further.

Secondly, the group company is about to reform, and people of Su Tai's level must have found a good position. As for my next work arrangement, I still have to rely on Su Tai's help.

It can be said that if you take a step forward, the sky will be wider and the sea will be broader, while if you take a step back, you will be just like everyone else.

At such a critical moment, we are not saints, but ordinary people struggling in the secular world. Who wouldn’t be nervous?
After saying hello, Su Tai asked Zheng Qiudong to sit aside.

Then he handed Zheng Qiudong a blue folder and poured him a cup of tea. He said to Zheng Qiudong, "Boan plans to retire early. You are an expert in human resources and you know these things very well.
Study it carefully and see how to push it forward. In particular, talk to Boan about what materials need to be prepared and what procedures need to be followed so that he can prepare in advance. "

Zheng Qiudong took the exquisite little teacup that Su Tai put over to him. He was about to say thank you as a courtesy, but when he heard that Xu Boan was going to retire early, Zheng Qiudong opened his mouth in surprise as if he had heard some explosive news.

Afterwards, he even forgot to say "thank you" to Su Tai, and turned to look at Xu Bo'an, his eyes full of disbelief, and said in astonishment: "What? You want to apply for internal retirement?"

While asking the question, Zheng Qiudong was thinking rapidly in his mind. Xu Boan has Su Tai's protection in the group company. With such a good development prospect, how could he make such a decision?

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zheng, I made this decision after careful consideration! Thank you for your concern!"

Zheng Qiudong was still in shock and asked subconsciously: "But... why?"

Yes, why!

A job at the Construction Group is a stable job that countless people dream of. Xu Bo'an's position as chief engineer of a subsidiary is a position that many people in the company dream of getting, not to mention that he is the de facto top boss!

As for the close relationship between Xu Bo'an and Su Tai, it made Zheng Qiudong, the "Minister of Personnel", jealous. It was "straight to the ears of the emperor"! Who wouldn't be jealous!

Even though the group company is undergoing adjustments and reforms, with Su Tai's care, there is no doubt that Xu Bo'an's position is definitely a lucrative one, and it is definitely the best of the best! With such a prospect, Xu Bo'an actually wants to resign?

Is he crazy?
Or was there a rift between him and Su Tai?
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiudong subconsciously glanced at Su Tai.

It seemed that he sensed Zheng Qiudong's inner thoughts.
Su Tai, who was standing by, smiled and twitched his lips slightly. He drank a sip of tea and then said to Zheng Qiudong with a smile, "How is it? Old Zheng, you are also surprised, right?

To be honest, I was shocked when I heard that he was leaving, but now I have adapted to it. Boan has his own ideas and has a bright future. We are in shallow water, so we should not hinder the rise of Boan, a real dragon."

Xu Bo'an waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Boss Su really thinks too highly of me. I am so ashamed and unworthy of the title! I don't really have any big ambitions. In general, I just feel that I have been in this industry for too long and I want to change my way of life. To use a popular saying nowadays, it's probably my restless heart telling me, 'The world is so big, I want to go see it', haha..."

Su Tai pointed at Xu Bo'an and said in feigned anger: "You, don't be so modest here. Excessive modesty is just a disguised form of pride!"

Xu Boan waved his hands repeatedly and responded with a smile: "No, no!"

Su Tai laughed twice, then turned to Zheng Qiudong and instructed, "Well, Old Zheng, you just need to tell Boan what materials he needs to submit for early retirement. Originally, this guy wanted to resign directly, but I think early retirement is also a guarantee, which is more reassuring than resigning. So I thought of helping him research and see what is appropriate."

Zheng Qiudong nodded slowly and said, "I understand, Director Su. I will study it now."

Zheng Qiudong looked calm, but his heart was shaking violently.

In the current situation, the relationship between Su Tai and Xu Boan is still harmonious, but why does Xu Boan want to resign?
Although Xu Boan is half a level lower than Zheng Qiudong at present, but with Su Tai around during the next group company adjustment, Xu Boan might be promoted. On the other hand, if Zheng Qiudong is transferred to the same level, his position might not be as promising as Xu Boan's.

As for the reasons like "dragon trapped in shallow water" and "the world is so big I want to see it", Zheng Qiudong didn't believe them. But at the moment, Zheng Qiudong really couldn't figure out the reason why Xu Bo'an left. But since Xu Bo'an himself had made the decision and Chairman Su had said so, he couldn't ask any more questions no matter how curious he was.

And most importantly, if Xu Boan resigned, Zheng Qiudong would have one less competitor, and perhaps the good position that Su Tai had planned to give Xu Boan would fall on him.

In this way, Zheng Qiudong can be considered a vested interest in Xu Bo'an's departure.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qiudong looked at Xu Bo'an with a more friendly look. He immediately opened the folder and looked at the documents in his hand with a smile.

Soon, Zheng Qiudong took out a pen from his pocket, wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and then handed it to Xu Bo'an, saying: "Bo'an, this is also simple.
Look, just follow the instructions above and prepare the originals and copies of these materials. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will handle it for you. I will definitely do it for you with high quality and efficiency, and let you get the relevant certification materials for internal retirement as soon as possible."

Xu Bo'an nodded politely, stretched out his hands to take the paper handed by Zheng Qiudong, and said politely: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, thank you for your help."

Zheng Qiudong smiled and said, "We are all brothers, so don't be so polite. To be honest, I really can't bear to leave you! When you have time in the future, you must come back often to visit."

Xu Bo'an nodded heavily and said, "Of course. In fact, I can't bear to leave President Su and President Zheng. I will never forget this wonderful working time with such good leaders like you two helping me."

After a few more small talk, Zheng Qiudong realized that his mission was accomplished, and he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Su, Bo'an, you guys go about your business. I'll go back and give instructions on this matter, and get it moving as soon as possible."

Su Tai nodded and said, "General Zheng always works very fast, so I won't delay you for now. When this is done, let Bo An treat us to a big meal!"

Xu Boan smiled and said, "Of course, of course!"

After they shook hands with each other, Zheng Qiudong left.

After Zheng Qiudong left, Su Tai and Xu Boan chatted for a while. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, they naturally couldn't let Xu Boan leave with an empty stomach.

The place for dining was chosen to be the Dynasty Hotel. This was not only to take care of his brother Lin Shan's business, but also because he and Lin Shan grew up together and their relationship was there. Going to the Dynasty Hotel was like going back to his own home. He could be free and at ease while eating!
Moreover, Lin Shan and Xu Boan are also very familiar with each other. In such a relaxed environment, the three of them can get closer to each other.

……

On the other hand, after Zheng Qiudong returned to the office, he casually called the leader of his human resources group over.

The Construction Group is very large, with a large and diverse workforce, so the Human Resources Department is divided into several groups to handle personnel appointments and dismissals for the group headquarters and different branch and subsidiary companies.

The business scope of Human Resources Group 1 is mainly human resources work for the group headquarters and several companies under its construction engineering business segment.

It can be said to be the most powerful group in the human resources department. After all, now is the golden age of the construction and civil engineering industry.

After the head of the HR team came in, he greeted Zheng Qiudong respectfully. Zheng Qiudong lowered his head to look at the documents for a while before looking up and saying majestically, "Go and sort out the information of Mr. Xu, the chief engineer of the second company, and then complete the missing information according to the requirements of internal retirement."

Although Zheng Qiudong was personally in charge of this matter, the specific matters of some rigid work were naturally done by the staff below.

We can't let a big leader like Zheng Qiudong do the work of organizing files and printing and copying himself, right?
When the head of the Human Resources Group heard the news, his eyes widened.

When Xu Bo'an took office, General Manager Zheng Qiudong and Chairman Su Tai came together to support him. To say that this lineup was luxurious would be an understatement.

You have to know that in the past, Zheng Qiudong's personal presence was already a great honor, so there was no need for Su Tai to step in.

So rumors outside had already spread a long time ago, and some even said that Xu Bo'an was Su Tai's illegitimate son who was left outside when he was young and ignorant!
Although as someone from the human resources department, the leader of the personnel group understood that the rumors were pure nonsense, after all, the age difference between the two was not that big, but he also understood that Su Tai was Xu Bo'an's backer!

In this situation, Xu Bo'an wants to retire? He must be crazy!

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xu is going to retire internally. Why...?" The head of the Human Resources Group 1 is a veteran employee of the Construction Group. A long time ago, there were even rumors that he would serve as the deputy general manager of the human resources department. However, the position of deputy general manager has been vacant until now. Seeing that the group company is about to undergo restructuring, there is no hope.

Zheng Qiudong frowned and said, "This is Mr. Xu's personal choice. Is there any problem with it?"

The head of the HR team saw Zheng Qiudong's displeasure and immediately shook his head and said, "No, no problem, I'll do it right away."

Zheng Qiudong nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as possible. Also, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the better!"

Too many people in the group company knew about the relationship between Xu Boan and Su Tai. If he retired internally, many people would have wild thoughts. Therefore, Zheng Qiudong did not want to let any more troubles occur during this turbulent time of reform of the group company.

The leader of the Human Resources Group 1 nodded, responded, and went out.

Although he did it according to Zheng Qiudong's instructions, he was still very curious about Xu Bo'an's approach.

He really couldn't understand why Xu Bo'an would choose to retire internally when he already had Chairman Su's protection?

He is almost 40 years old and it will be difficult for him to apply for a job outside. I really don’t understand what he can do after he leaves?
Could it be that Xu Boan really had some physical problem? Otherwise, who would give up such a bright future like this?
Or maybe, his relationship with Director Su broke down!
Thinking of this, the head of the HR team 1 looked delighted. After returning to the office, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Lao Liu, haha, I have good news for you. Xu Bo'an from Company 1 is going to retire! Here's your chance. If you manage it properly, you might be able to make further progress!" (End of this chapter)
