Chapter 447
After finishing breakfast with a satisfied expression, Xia Qiqi's secretary handed her a stack of financial data to review.
Xia Qiqi looked at the thick pile of documents in front of her and felt a bit overwhelmed.
What on earth is this?!
"The chairman said that if you don't understand the financial data, you should take a closer look. I will accompany you and explain anything you don't understand, Manager Xia. I have a background in finance," the secretary respectfully said.
Xia Qiqi was speechless.
On her first day of work, she was already dealing with this stuff.
She had hoped to leisurely drink coffee and play a few games.
Xia Qiqi reluctantly agreed, not particularly enthusiastic.
But she didn't refuse and picked up a copy to start reading.
It was all numbers.
She couldn't make sense of any of it. What a nuisance.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Xia Qiqi received a notice for a meeting with senior management.
Xia Qiqi actually hated meetings.
They were usually pointless and full of empty talk.
Reluctantly, she went to the conference room for the senior management, and based on her position, she sat in a relatively peripheral corner.
In the center were important executives and shareholders of the company.
Xia Zheng Hai sat in the middle.
After everyone had arrived, Xia Zheng Hai spoke up, "We are having an emergency meeting today, nothing major."
If there's nothing important, why bother with a meeting?
Xia Qiqi muttered to herself.
"Mainly, we will discuss the responsibilities and new appointments of a senior leader in the company. Xiahui Bank has always been missing an assistant general manager. I, as the chairman and acting general manager, have appointed a deputy general manager, but the deputy general manager's energy is limited, and it is difficult for them to manage so many departments. Therefore, I have appointed a general manager's assistant to primarily oversee the group's business and share the workload of the deputy general manager."
Everyone at the scene listened attentively, and no one had any objections.
It had indeed been lacking an assistant general manager for a long time, but because they hadn't found the right person, it had been delayed, which had hindered the company's operations. Appointing an assistant general manager with clearer responsibilities would naturally be better.
And everyone actually knew in their hearts that this position belonged to Nie Ziming.
Nie Ziming's performance in the company was recognized by everyone, and Xia Zheng Hai had higher expectations of him, especially after Nie Ziming and Xia Qiqi broke up. Out of guilt, Xia Zheng Hai treated Nie Ziming even better.
In terms of reason and emotion, this position naturally belonged to Nie Ziming.
Nie Ziming also thought the same.
He had been waiting for this day for quite some time.
Xia Zheng Hai had talked to him a few times before, both openly and in private, mentioning that when the time was right, he would promote him. In addition to acknowledging his work, it was also a way to make up for a bit of debt towards him.
Nie Ziming couldn't help but sit up straight.
He was waiting to be appointed on the spot.
Naturally, he concealed his excitement well.
Xia Qiqi originally had zero interest in this meeting.
But when she saw Xiao Nanchen appear here...
Damn.
Was her dad sick?
Xiao Nanchen spoke calmly, "Hello, everyone. I'm Xiao Nanchen, 23 years old this year. It's my first time at the company, and there are many things I don't understand. I hope that the leaders here can give me guidance. I will familiarize myself with all the work of the company in the shortest possible time and contribute to its success. Thank you, everyone."
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
With just a few words, he expressed his attitude towards work and his confidence in it.
Although everyone was still in a state of shock, out of politeness, some people applauded to welcome him.
Gradually, everyone in the meeting room joined in the applause.
Except for Nie Ziming and Xia Qiqi.
Nie Ziming didn't want to applaud.
And Xia Qiqi... she didn't know how to applaud.
Anyway.
Xiao Nanchen's sudden appearance had left everyone somewhat bewildered.
The meeting was really short this time.
After announcing Xiao Nanchen's position, the meeting adjourned.
Xiao Nanchen left the office with Xia Zheng Hai.
The whole process had no interaction with Xia Qiqi whatsoever.
Xia Qiqi even felt that Xiao Nanchen hadn't glanced at her once.
Everyone left the meeting room.
Xia Qiqi stayed behind.
Nie Ziming also stayed.
Nie Ziming suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and walked towards Xia Qiqi. "Qiqi, let's go."
At that moment, Xia Qiqi seemed to snap back to reality. She asked Nie Ziming, "What's the matter with Xiao Nanchen? How did he come to the company?"
"That should be a question for your father, right?!" Nie Ziming smiled.
It was impossible to detect any trace of his displeasure.
"Damn it!"
Xia Qiqi cursed.
In the next second, she stormed out of the meeting room.
She wanted to find out what tricks her father was up to.
After she divorced Xiao Nanchen,
he still brought him to the company.
What was the point of bringing him to the company, to make things difficult for her?!
