After talking to Huo Tinggui, I called my assistant into my office.
The assistant was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look into my eyes.
She reported the current progress in a panic.
"I have informed foreign branches. I will keep an eye on the trend of public opinion at any time and launch plans and statements at the right time to change consumers' attitudes. Please rest assured, Mr. Shen."
I nodded and played thoughtfully with the decorations on the table.
The assistant hurried on, "in addition, I thought about the salary. I should give me some punishment. Please give me instructions."
"I'm glad you have this awareness. Since you also think your salary should change, let me connect with the finance department, OK?" I asked.
"But... Yes." The assistant gritted his teeth and nodded.
Obviously, she wanted to ask me how much salary I would deduct, but she didn't dare.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he just asked me in a low voice, "President Shen, I won't be dismissed, right?"
I nodded decisively, "of course not. You are my capable general and won't be dismissed. Don't worry. I remember that your labor contract is ten-year. If it expires, remember to renew it."
"I will." The assistant quickly agreed.
About the salary, I put my assistant off.
Watching her scratching her ears and cheeks all day, she called the director and assistant of the finance department to the office when she was about to get off work.
Then in front of the assistant, he announced that from today on, he would increase his monthly salary by 3000.
"Three thousand?" The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with a happy face. "Fortunately, not many."
The black question mark face of the finance minister said, "do you think three thousand is very little?"
"Of course not. I thought I had to deduct at least half of my salary." Said the assistant.
In the office, the atmosphere became dignified for a time.
The Minister of Finance turned to look at me and said, "what President Shen said is to increase your salary by 3000, not deduct."
"I know it's a salary increase. After all, I did something wrong... What? Give me a raise? " The assistant's eyes widened in disbelief.
He even raised his hand and pinched his arm, grinning with pain, "it's not a dream, how can it be?"
"Mr. Shen," the Minister of finance came forward and whispered to me, "do you want to change someone to be an assistant? I always think the child may have been crazy about working overtime some time ago."
I smiled and waved my hand. "It's all right. She's fine. Come here hard. Just increase your salary according to what you just said. You can get off work."
Seeing that I was unmoved and the Minister of finance could not persuade me any more, he had to turn and leave the office.
When there were only two people left in the office, me and my assistant, I looked at her, "why, are you silly?"
The assistant really looks like a fool.
The corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his head.
"President Shen, is this true?" The assistant came and grabbed my wrist. He knew it was inappropriate and quickly took it back. "Do you really want to give me a raise?"
"Yes." I nodded, "or do you think I'll find the Minister of finance to tease you?"
The assistant shook his head like a rattle, "of course not. Even if the Minister of finance wants to play with me, you won't, Mr. Shen."
Then he whispered, "so, all this is true."
"You may wonder why I have to give you a raise when you do something wrong. This is a reward for you and also tells you that people can't be perfect all the time. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes occasionally. At least you have done a good job in the later remedial work. You have brought greater benefits to the company, so it's worth a raise, you know?" I volunteered to explain.
The assistant nodded a little confused.
"Don't you celebrate the raise?" I stood up, "go and have dinner with my good friends. It's time to get off work."
As soon as the voice fell, the assistant came up to me with a little red cheeks, "President Shen, can I have dinner with you to celebrate my promotion and raise."
"With me?" I was a little surprised, "don't you eat with Chen Xin or other colleagues?"
"It's a bit of a show off to eat with my colleagues. As for Chen Xin, I don't know how to eat with him, so president Shen is the best for you." The assistant explained.
Well, I'm the most suitable meal.
But I was very interested and readily agreed, "OK, why don't we go to Huaishi cuisine?"
"Huaishi food is a little expensive," the assistant cried.
After a pause, he smiled happily, "but after all, I'm a wage hiker. What about Huaishi cuisine? I don't eat it every day. President Shen opens it up. It's my treat today!"
Although the assistant showed great pride, I still ordered the cheapest possible when ordering.
She is a little girl. Of course, it's best to save some money.
"Mr. Shen, may I ask you something about your financial management?" The assistant didn't miss any chance to learn. When eating, he looked at me with a curious face.
Looking at her big watery eyes, I really didn't mean to refuse, so I nodded, "OK, what do you want to ask, as long as I can tell you, I'll tell you."
During the next more than an hour's meal, the assistant kept asking questions and even took out his small notebook to take notes.
He looks very serious.
When I checked out, the assistant was still a little funny, "President Shen, I agreed to invite you to dinner. These questions I asked should be more valuable than this meal?"
"If you're really embarrassed, it's better to work harder in the future." I said.
The assistant nodded heavily, "I'm sure I will. I'll never make such a small mistake again."
"I believe you." I raised my hand and patted the assistant on the shoulder. "Then I'll go first."
Leaving the restaurant, I took a taxi back to Gan's villa.
To be honest, I have a sense of achievement after solving this matter today.
Lying in bed, I had a comfortable sleep.
I thought that after this thing was over, the company would stop for at least a period of time. I could also take some time to go back and see the little stars and leaves.
As a result, within two days, the company had a situation again.
The accident was not the assistant, but the advertising planning department managed by the assistant.
They mistook the size of a batch of advertising boards to be put on the market. Now they must redo them, otherwise the advertising space we contracted will be in vain.
This time, no more than last time, we must pay a large sum of money, and it will also delay the time of advertising.
This matter is very serious.
