In the office, Tan Qin looked out through the glass wall that was set to one-way light transmission and saw a piece of clothes carefully passing by the corner of the corridor.
"Wow, he's really in the office?" Tan Qin turned back to look at Zhou Jun, "How did you calculate that? Even Zhuge Liang would admire you."
Zhou Jun took off his suit jacket, avoiding the wound where the stitches were removed, and sat down in the office chair: "Feng Yiming said she didn't go to dinner."
Tan Qin smiled: "Secretary Feng told you this because he wanted you to take the opportunity to care about her and reduce her workload, right? How are you contradicting me?"
Zhou Jun raised his eyelids: "Didn't you see that he was avoiding me?"
Of course Tan Qin saw this.
When leaving Nanhuai last Saturday, Meng Shuyu asked Zhou Jun to take her home, and she refused to sit in the back seat with Zhou Jun. She also did not attend Zhou Jun's stitches removal this morning.
It seemed like Zhou Jun flirted too much that day and scared the person.
"No... It makes sense for you to slow down and retreat if others are avoiding you, but there's no need to be so decisive, right?" Tan Qin had a surprised expression on his face.
“She’s different.”
"How is it different?"
Zhou Jun looked at Tan Qin for a few seconds: "You really don't remember her."
Tan Qin was stunned; "What do you mean I don't remember her? What should I remember about her?"
"I gave you a planet cup."
"… "
Tan Qin considered himself to be a very smart person. Having worked as a headhunter for so many years, he was quite knowledgeable. However, when he came to Zhou Jun, he always felt like that stupid roe deer from Northeast China.
"What kind of cup is that? Is it the kind I know that has biscuits covered in chocolate sauce and you eat it by spoonful?"
"otherwise?"
"You're crazy! Isn't that a snack we had as children? I haven't eaten that stuff in years. I haven't seen it since I left the orphanage, right?"
"Um."
"… "
"You mean the orphanage?" Tan Qin blinked in astonishment and counted on his fingers, "Wait a minute, let me sort it out. That must have been... 17, 18, 19 years ago?!"
"Fuck Zhou Jun, you still remember the planet cup that someone gave me in the welfare home 19 years ago? Is this the reason why you skipped two of the three grades in high school and were admitted to Tsinghua University at the age of 15?!"
Zhou Jun nodded: "Maybe."
Tan Qin was so confused that his brain couldn't work. After digesting the information in Zhou Jun's words for a while, he suddenly thought of something: "Wait a minute, could it be that they gave me the Planet Cup but not you, so you have been brooding over it?"
Zhou Jun looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then suddenly smiled.
"Zhou Jun, you can't be... You've been holding a grudge for nineteen years for a Star Cup?" Tan Qin touched his arm with horror, "No, you lost to me back then, and now you recruit me into Sen Dai, aren't you afraid that you'll be outdone by me again in front of a little girl?"
Zhou Jun shook his head: "Not now."
"Why?"
"You've fallen behind over the years."
"?"
"I haven't grown tall enough."
“… … ”
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the conference room on the eighth floor, Morishiro’s monthly management review meeting.
Following the chaotic business analysis meeting on the second day after Zhou Jun took office, the second high-level meeting a month later had a completely different atmosphere.
Meng Shuyu sat next to Zhou Jun and listened to the Minister of Finance reporting on Sendai's operating conditions in September on the stage. From sales proceeds from retail, engineering, and exports to contract amounts, and then to operating profit margins, all the data showed almost a straight-line upward growth.
Data that were not presented at the beginning, such as cost-effectiveness ratio, cost control rate, ER growth rate, and net operating cash flow, were also put on the screen. They changed from being the source of departments shirking responsibility and passing the buck to bargaining chips for departments to seek credit.
Although Meng Shuyu watched these data being updated bit by bit, when he reviewed and summarized them at the end of the month, he was still shocked by the situation that had turned things around.
Meng Shuyu was well aware of how low-key Zhou Jun had been in the public eye over the past month.
He did not make major reforms to the bank as a new official, nor did he fire any employees or eliminate or update any products. Instead, he achieved these results with an authentic Moridai, allowing everyone to see how the mess that was in the hands of former acting general manager and current supply chain director Zhao Rongxun was completely transformed in his hands.
And this is just the beginning.
Thinking back to the supply chain drinking party that he had missed, Meng Shuyu finally understood Zhou Jun's intentions.
In fact, Zhou Jun didn't let her join the drinking party not because he was excluding her, but because the drinking party really didn't have much value, it was just an ordinary meal.
At that time, Zheng Shoufu was arrested for accepting bribes, and the next day he revealed the complicated relationships within the supply chain system.
But it is impossible for Zheng Shoufu to know the secrets of all ministers, and it is impossible for Zhou Jun to deal with every minister the same way he dealt with Zheng Shoufu.
So after clarifying the relationships within the supply chain, Zhou Jun used a drinking party to achieve a significant effect. First, he wanted to let other senior executives see that he was well prepared, and second, he wanted to let them see the change in Zheng Shoufu's attitude towards him.
Zheng Shoufu, the most arrogant and domineering "follower" of Zhao Rongxun, changed his attitude overnight, which sounded a wake-up call to all those who followed Zhao Rongxun.
Everyone was secretly observing the situation, and no one dared to take a clear stand easily, at least not openly disobeying Zhou Jun's orders.
Although Zheng Shoufu was the only one who had obviously changed his attitude, Zhao Rongxun knew about the existence of the drinking party and was aware of everyone's attitude of self-preservation. Out of suspicion of the unknown, he could no longer trust other senior executives.
From that time on, cracks began to appear in the cohesive supply chain system.
Until today, when Zhou Jun announced this achievement, he also officially pushed Tan Qin, the new HR Minister, to the forefront.
This move of first using courtesy and then using force was to tell everyone that the past month was the time for everyone to make choices and take sides.
Now the knife of HR has been sharpened. From today on, there will be no ambiguity and no self-isolation. Either you follow him and work hard, or pack up and leave.
Moriyo has had so many general managers. Some tried to show off their power by laying off employees, but were eventually kicked out by the clique of senior executives. Some also tried to play the good guy card, but ended up accomplishing nothing and being sidelined.
No one is like Zhou Jun, who can win the hearts of the people and achieve his goal without spending a single soldier.
It is just as President Cai once said to Meng Shuyu: It is easy to fire a large number of people and replace them with new ones, but that is tantamount to cutting off one's own bones. Firing employees should be a means rather than an end. What Sendai needs is a leader who can gather a pile of scattered sand into a tower, rather than replace the sand with a new one.
Although everyone in the conference room tried to sit still and remain silent, Meng Shuyu was certain that, apart from Zhao Rongxun himself, no one would complain to Zhou Jun.
Meng Shuyu turned her head slightly to glance at Zhou Jun, and suddenly thought, she had heard about how many doubts there were in Sen Dai over the past month, and Zhou Jun couldn't have been unaware of it, but he really had never wavered.
A person who can endure a long and lonely process in order to achieve the desired result is truly a very powerful person.
People like this...maybe they really don't have the heart to fall in love.
Thinking about it this way, the harsh words she said in her heart this afternoon seemed to be of no use.
After all, Zhou Jun is the kind of person who will not change his decision once it is made.
Let Zhou Jun wait, what are he waiting for
Wait for her to die by banging her head against his wall
well…
Otherwise, it’s more important to cherish your life, so forget it.
The meeting agenda went through one by one. At the end, Zhou Jun gave a few concluding remarks and Meng Shuyu announced the end of the meeting.
After a while, a group of senior executives who had been tense for several hours finally relaxed and came to talk to Zhou Jun about the third quarter performance appraisal.
But Meng Shuyu could see that these people were not really talking about work, and their real intention was to express their opinions with a smile on their faces.
So Zhou Jun didn't say much to them, they just nodded one by one.
The senior executives left one after another. In the conference room, besides Zhou Jun, Meng Shuyu and Tan Qin, there was only Zhao Rongxun who had a gloomy face from beginning to end.
Tan Qin came over with a cup of tea and said to Zhou Jun, "Mr. Zhou, I have finished the plan for adjusting the organizational structure. Do you have time to chat now?"
Zhao Rongxun raised his eyes and knew that the six words "organizational structure adjustment" were meant for him.
After all, once this plan is implemented, there is no need to retain the position of supply chain director.
"Well, come to my office." Zhou Jun looked at Tan Qin and answered.
Meng Shuyu guessed that Zhao Rongxun stayed here for something.
After hearing the conversation between Tan Qin and Zhou Jun, he knew there was no room for struggle, so he probably didn't plan to say anything. He gritted his teeth, stood up, picked up the teacup and left.
He turned around angrily, and the uncovered teacup shook, causing the boiling water that had just been poured out of the kettle to splash out.
Meng Shuyu was so scared that he pushed away Zhou Jun's right hand.
The scalding hot tea spilled onto the back of his hand, causing Meng Shuyu to gasp.
Zhao Rongxun and Tan Qin were both shocked.
Zhou Jun turned his eyes and his pupils shrank. Without asking a single question, he pulled Meng Shuyu out, took him to the bathroom sink, and turned on the faucet.
As the cool water trickled down, Meng Shuyu took a hissing breath, blinked away the physiological tears in his eyes, and looked up at Zhou Jun.
He bent over and carefully washed the back of her hand with cold water, his brows twisted into a knot. It was not known whether it was the effect of the cold water or something else, but the burning sensation on the back of her hand seemed to slowly subside.
"What are you blocking?" Zhou Jun asked, looking at the red back of her hand.
"Isn't that a conditioned reflex? I just wanted to see if it would get on your wound where the stitches were just removed..."
Zhou Jun frowned and looked up at her: "You are thicker-skinned than me, so what?"
Meng Shuyu choked and muttered quietly: "That's not as thick as yours..."
Zhou Jun lowered his head again.
Tan Qin got some burn ointment from somewhere and handed it to the two of them: "Apply it after you rinse."
Zhou Jun was holding her with both hands and pouring water on her, but Meng Shuyu had time to take the burn ointment and thank Tan Qin.
Tan Qin waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine and left the sink.
After rinsing for about ten minutes, Zhou Jun turned off the faucet and picked up her hand to look at it.
Meng Shuyu also leaned over to take a look.
It was red all over, but fortunately there were no blisters.
It turns out that being a hero saving a beautiful girl is so painful.
I won’t save you next time.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It seems to be okay..."
"If it hurts, it hurts. If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. What do you mean it seems to be okay?" Zhou Jun frowned and looked at her.
"That means it still hurts a little bit. You don't understand that. Why are you so fierce..."
Zhou Jun turned on the faucet again.
After rinsing for another five minutes, Zhou Jun took out two tissues to dry the back of her hand, asked her for the burn ointment, held her fingers with one hand, and took the ointment with the other hand and applied it to the back of her hand.
Meng Shuyu looked at it in a daze. Why did he feel that this posture was so much like putting a ring on someone
"… "
Bah, I don’t even want to date you, you haven’t even thought about where to hold the wedding!
Meng Shuyu sighed in his heart. The back of his hand felt itchy, and his heart also felt itchy.
Zhou Jun's brows had been furrowed for more than ten minutes.
Is he nervous
Must be nervous.
Being so nervous doesn't necessarily mean it's a difficult wall to hit.
As he thought about it, Meng Shuyu became restless again.
Now that Zhou Jun has conquered the top management of Moridai, she also wants to conquer this man, so that no matter how capable he is in the company or in front of thousands of people, he has to bow down to her and be her servant.
Meng Shuyu's mind was distracted and his thoughts were drifting further and further away. The back of his hand seemed to be getting more and more itchy, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Zhou Jun paused and raised his head: "Does it hurt?"
Meng Shuyu was about to shake his head, but he pulled his horse to a stop and held his honest head still.
If a woman is not ruthless, her status will be unstable.
The physiological tears that had just been blinked away seemed to be able to be used again. Meng Shuyu thought for a moment and looked at him with misty eyes: "Well, it hurts... How about you blow it for me?"
The author has something to say: Here she comes, here she comes with her tricks!
(#^.^#) I hope Mr. Zhou will not surrender prematurely due to the fierce firepower in the days to come.
