In the last working week of the year, there are a lot of piecemeal summative work to be done. Although I, as an assistant, are not required to do any data reports, I still need to run up and down to get the general documents.
He Feimo has never contacted me since the last meeting. I forward any tasks assigned to me by the group directly to his email. He has taken Fang Ying to the last few meetings. Fang Ying has gradually become familiar with me, and from time to time she will complain about He Feimo in front of me.
From the time I came to Fei to now, I rarely see He Feimo holding internal staff meetings, and I rarely see him talking to any employees in person. All work-related content is sent to email or work account chat software. Therefore, the entire office seemed like a stagnant water. It only became slightly active when He Feimo went to have a meeting or have a meal at noon.
When I arrived at the company early on Wednesday morning, everyone was gathered around the center of the hall for a meeting. When He Feimo saw me coming in, he paused for a second and said casually: "Find a seat and sit down."
I put my bag on my seat, pulled up a chair and sat down in the corner.
He Feimo continued to talk about the content of the meeting. The general idea was that as the end of the year was approaching, many employees were a little impetuous, and their work gradually became lazy and procrastinated, losing their enthusiasm. This negative energy was especially reflected in the sales department, which is Haicheng. Real estate agents in major stores. In order to improve the performance in the last stage, He Feimo decided to select a few of us to go to the store with him to supervise and encourage the work of the agents.
Although Fang Ying occasionally said bad things about He Feimo behind his back, she still supported him at work. Without waiting for He Feimo to speak, she directly raised her hand and said, "I'll be one of them."
Seeing Fang Ying raise her hand, Liu Dawei nodded and said, "I am one of them."
Fang Ying asked He Feimo: "How many do Mr. He plan to bring? Let me help you choose."
He Feimo thought about it and replied: "Four or five."
Fang Ying stood up and scanned the crowd, pointed at a female colleague and said, "Xiao Yao, come with us."
The man named Xiao Yao immediately waved his hand: "No, I don't have time. I still have a lot of reports to do."
Then I pointed out a few more, but they all declined because they had a heavy workload and couldn't spare any time. Fang Ying flattened her mouth helplessly, and when she was about to hand the decision-making power back to He Feimo, she suddenly caught a glimpse of me, "Hey, Shen Yan, you must have time, come with us, don't refuse."
I opened my mouth, and He Feimo glanced at me with a faint look. I really had no reason to refuse, because I was the most free in the entire headquarters. It's just that I don't know anything about the real estate business, so even if I open a store, it won't be of much use.
We argued and argued for half an hour, but in the end there were not enough people, so they had to bring me along to fill up the number. In addition to me, Fang Ying, Liu Dawei, and two male colleagues.
After the big meeting, a few of us had a small meeting alone to divide the areas. Fang Ying, He Feimo and I are responsible for the two areas in the west of the city; while Liu Dawei and two other colleagues are responsible for the west of the city. Fang Ying was very satisfied with this arrangement. Before the meeting ended, she asked He Feimo jokingly: "Mr. He, today is Wednesday. Aren't you going to sea?"
He Feimo was stunned for a few seconds and replied: "I've been busy lately, so I won't go."
Speaking of going to sea, I was quite curious, so after He Feimo left, I asked Fang Ying in a low voice: "Does Mr. He like fishing very much?"
Fang Ying looked completely clueless: "Fishing? No, he didn't go to sea to fish."
"What's that for?" It was obvious that he had been fishing the last time I asked him to sign a contract. He should have a very persistent passion for fishing.
Fang Ying kicked the leg of Liu Dawei's chair next to her and said to the three of them: "Hey, Shen Yan and I have something to say, you guys go out first!"
Liu Dawei heard our conversation and naturally understood what we were going to discuss next. He stood up and did not go out immediately. Instead, he seriously warned Fang Ying: "Mr. He hates it most when we talk about him behind his back. You If you tell Ana Shen, if word gets out, you won’t be able to live without it.”
Liu Dawei glared at me somewhat unkindly. Listening to his words, he was obviously suspicious of my big mouth. Fang Ying did not take his reminder seriously and continued to kick him in the leg: "Just go out if I tell you to. Why is there so much nonsense?"
After they left, I smiled in a low voice, "Well, actually, I just asked casually. You know that I don't have a good relationship with him, so I don't really want to know anything about him."
Fang Ying was originally going to say something, but when she saw me saying this, she stopped talking.
After lunch, we all packed up and divided into two cars to go to different stores. We are going to the store where the district manager of Chengxi District works, which is about an hour's drive from Yuan Sheng. Since I have to work there in the past few days, I told Liang Sheng and Qiao Wan in advance that this place is close to my home and I will temporarily stay at my own home these days. Just a few days ago, what happened on Monday made my parents unhappy, so I took the opportunity to spend some time with them.
After a long drive, I finally arrived at the store. A row of electric cars of almost the same type parked at the door first came into view, followed by a row of agents wearing black suits and yellow ties who walked out one after another. They came out, lined up in two rows, and shouted a welcome speech enthusiastically.
He Feimo nodded, shook hands with the district manager who came over, and introduced Fang Ying and me to the district manager.
The district manager is a woman in her early thirties, with a ponytail and slanted bangs. She speaks in authentic Haicheng dialect, "So this is Assistant Shen Yanshen. Thank you for meeting me."
I nodded awkwardly, wondering if my reputation was that big. Even the employees at the branch in the west of the city knew about me. Later I found out that I was overthinking it. They knew about me not because I was He Feimo’s assistant, but because of my relationship with Liang Sheng when we met on Monday.
I thought there wouldn't be anything complicated to do in the store, but I didn't expect something happened on the first day I arrived.
The beginning of the year is the peak rental period in Haicheng, and lease contracts are usually signed once a year. Naturally, the end of the year is also the peak rental period. Not long after arriving at the store, before I had time to familiarize myself with the business process, a pregnant woman with a big belly walked in, followed by a man who looked like a newlywed.
The pregnant woman's voice was a little high as soon as she walked in: "Who is the highest person in charge here?"
Real estate agents deal with people. Customers can recognize it at a glance. The agent at the front desk heard the bad tone and said directly: "Our person in charge has gone to the headquarters for a meeting. If you have anything, please tell us."
The pregnant woman held her waist: "It doesn't matter what I tell you. How many phone calls did I make to your agent before I came here? Did it work? I am eight months old now. If I weren't afraid that it would be bad for the child, I really want to curse!"
Seeing this, the agent had no choice but to change his words: "How about you leave a phone number and I'll ask our leader to call you when he comes back?"
"No! I'm just going to sit here and wait. Please give your leader a call. Don't wait until my baby is born. His meeting won't be over!" This pregnant woman was quite funny, but her tone was not very good. He was probably annoyed by this incident.
He Feimo and we could see clearly in the background. Fang Ying unexpectedly asked the district manager: "Is this how you usually deal with disputes?"
The district manager was embarrassed and immediately rejected: "Of course not. I usually teach them to be patient with every customer. Maybe they are afraid of causing trouble for us, so that's why they said that. I think I'd better go out and deal with it. "
The district manager claimed that he was an ordinary agent and chatted with the pregnant woman for a few words. The pregnant woman finally told her problem. The general idea is that at the beginning of the year, she and her boyfriend rented a two-bedroom apartment with a yard on the first floor. Because the decoration was not very good and the furniture in the house was a bit old, she asked the agent who made the transaction at the time if she could When it came to moving the furniture, the agent didn't pay much attention to it at the time. He just said that moving it was not possible and that he might as well put it in the backyard. As a result, over the course of a year, it was windy and rainy, and all the furniture placed in the yard rotted and became moldy. At the end of the year, the landlord came to take possession of the house and asked them to claim the furniture. They were not happy. The agent said that they should put it in the backyard. Why should they pay for it? So they went to the agent to argue, but the agent had already resigned. After many calls, The calls were unsuccessful, so I had to go to the boss to ask for an explanation.
The district manager gave a very formulaic explanation, which inevitably meant shirking responsibility. After a few words of disagreement, the pregnant woman banged the table and started to curse. I was afraid that she might have fetal gas, so I poured a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and brought it to her. Unexpectedly, she didn’t appreciate it at all and directly poured a cup of water on my face. It was so hot that I covered my face and took several steps back. I couldn't even open my eyes.
