It's Monday again.
Du Ruo got up on time at eight o'clock, washed her hair and went back to her room to dry her hair. She called out WALLI, and the little robot immediately woke up with wide eyes and ran around on the carpet. After a while, sometimes I ran to see the fish, and sometimes I went to look in the mirror. He stared curiously at the white robot in the mirror, tilted his head to look left and right, and smiled with crooked eyes.
Du Ruo lightly touched him with her foot, and he obediently stepped aside. She opened the closet and took a look, and chose a simple but high-quality orange-red sleeveless summer shirt with a dark blue lotus leaf skirt. She buys clothes in bold or contrasting colors as a set, and the designer's professional matching is always right.
The upper body of the clothes is elegant but lively, exquisite but not dull.
She tied her hair in a low ponytail, tied it in a simple bun, painted her eyebrows and painted her lips, carried her bag, put on high heels, said hello to Wally and Huanhuan, stuffed a few pieces of sliced bread into her mouth, hurried downstairs.
As soon as he left the unit, the phone rang.
It's Yi Kun's call.
"Hello? Brother?"
"I'm at the intersection of the Ring Road." Occasionally, Yi Kun is fine, and he will drop by to pick her up and go to get off work. She used to refuse, but she got used to it later.
"Ah. All right. I'll be right over."
She ran out of the alley and towards the intersection. The car stopped there, and she opened the rear door to get in the car: "Thank you, brother." Then she greeted the driver in front: "Good morning."
The driver smiled and started the car: "The vice president looks really good today."
Du Ruo laughed: "Thank you."
Yi Kun didn't speak.
When he reached the traffic light ahead, he suddenly said, "Is it time for you to change houses?"
"It's okay." Du Ruo said, "This place is quite close to the company, just two subway stops."
"If it's because of the rent, I can make up for you on the company's account."
"I really don't need it, it's not because of the money." Du Ruo waved his hand and said, "I want to live with my friends and have a company. Besides, the location is good, there are many places to eat and play, and it's convenient to go anywhere. I'll get used to it after living here for a long time."
Yi Kun didn't try to persuade him any more, and said again: "The car assigned by the company has arrived, but I haven't invited a driver for the time being, so I will drive it myself first."
"So fast?" She smiled, unable to hide her happiness, "There is no need to hire a driver, I will drive by myself. Now I don't need to take a taxi to go to the industrial park."
Yi Kun handed her a bunch of keys.
"Wow. BMW?" She was surprised and pleasantly surprised. "It seems that our company has really made a lot of money. Can you give me a salary increase?"
He glanced at her faintly: "It's up to the same level as me, okay?"
"Of course I'm happy if you really want to raise the price." She lowered her volume slightly and muttered, "Can the car be driven today?"
"Company parking lot."
"Thank you boss!" Du Ruo said.
Yuanqian Technology is a company newly established by Yi Kun two years ago.
Two or three years after he graduated, some members of the Orbit team went to other cities to develop, some were eager to buy a house and start a family, and some wanted to start their own businesses, so they took bonuses and dispersed. Only two or three stayed with Yi Kun to continue working hard and start a new business.
At that time, Du Ruo, who had just returned to China, was looking for a job everywhere. He didn't want to be trapped in a large enterprise with a strict system, and the salary of the research institute was really meager. I want to find a technology-related entrepreneurial team, but I can't find the right one—the main person in charge of many teams is not professional, and they all rely on money to invest in shares. She is afraid of getting into complicated personnel disputes, and even more afraid of being cheated after the team grows.
At this time, Li Qinghe invited her to come to Yuangan, saying: "We are short of talents like you."
Although it is in the early stage of starting a business, the treatment is very good. It takes shares and guarantees continuous salary increases as the company expands. The range is large and the frequency is high.
Du Ruo was still a little embarrassed: "Senior Brother Wu doesn't want to see me."
Li Qinghe said: "He is a bit arbitrary in doing things, but he is also too eager to protect the interests of the whole. The disbandment of the team this time has hit him hard and changed a lot."
Du Ruo was very surprised, but he never thought that Wu Zhengbo was the one who stayed behind in Orbit.
So she met Yi Kun and chatted all afternoon. Everyone's ideas and concepts are very consistent with each other, and the professional fit is also high. In addition, they are acquaintances and alumni, so they have a sense of psychological security. She stayed.
Wu Zhengbo also assured her in front of Yi Kun that we started a business together and are a family. He will do his best to protect her interests. She has absolute autonomy over her R&D results. The grievances of the year were also written off.
Now that two years have passed, the company has expanded from seven or eight people to seven or eighty, and she has also become the vice president with a generous annual salary.
Of course, the more you get, the more you give.
In the first year of starting a business, R&D, marketing, sales, after-sales, human resources, technical services, all businesses are mixed without division of labor, and all internal and external affairs are managed. Not to mention seven days a week, the whole year is so busy that there is no time for vacation. She also suffered from stomach problems due to chronic forgetting to eat.
The situation began to improve this year, and various departments were gradually formed, with a clear division of labor and complete functions, which relieved a lot of pressure. However, problems such as personnel management, quality improvement, and communication efficiency have become increasingly prominent and need to be resolved urgently.
Clocking in for work at nine o'clock, Du Ruo walked out of the elevator with Yi Kun and walked into the office area on the 22nd floor of the office building.
Monday morning is a regular meeting. Du Ruo poured himself a cup of coffee, went into the meeting room, and sat on the first seat on the right. Soon, the heads of various departments took their seats one after another.
Yi Kun took the main seat, and the audience reported on their work.
"Recently, the country has increased its support for the artificial intelligence industry. Last week, we met with the leaders of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce of the Science and Technology Bureau to further strive for various preferential policies and conveniences."
"Our vision system braking system has strong competitiveness in terms of sensing and braking. The previous partners were mainly small companies and small enterprises. This time we are talking about a state-owned enterprise. If it is done, it will have great impact on the company's development. It’s a big boost.”
"Last week, the sales department negotiated several cases, focusing on small and medium-sized equipment and products. The sales volume is about one million."
After listening to the report, Yi Kun asked, "What about internal problems?"
Several executives said: "There are no difficulties at present."
Du Ruo unscrewed the pen cap and said, "I have a problem here."
Yi Kun: "Huh?"
"The colleagues in the technical service department seem to be unable to keep up with the situation. Several old customers directly reported to me that the colleagues in the service department went to the site for installation guidance, but they couldn't figure out how to maintain our company's own machinery." Du Ruodao , "How could there be such a low-level mistake?"
Wu Zhengbo frowned when he heard the words, and looked at the head of the technical service department: "Which employee? It was because the department made a mistake when recruiting people, and the quality was not up to standard, so they recruited; ?”
The supervisor immediately said: "Vice President Wu, I will definitely investigate this issue. I will give an answer within today."
Du Ruo added another sentence: "I think that the professional level of all colleagues in various departments needs to be paid attention to. This situation cannot happen again." She looked at Yi Kun, "After this happened, I thought about it for a long time at the weekend and felt that It's time to set up an assessment mechanism for each department and conduct regular assessments. The basic abilities of employees are not up to standard, and the impact on the company is too bad."
Yi Kun agreed, and he also had this intention long ago: "Leave this matter to HR."
The head of the personnel department nodded: "Yes. A reasonable assessment system will be drawn up as soon as possible."
"OK."
After the meeting, Du Ruo went back to the office to finish processing several documents and was ready to rush to the industrial park. The focus of her work is still in the R&D department.
Just as he was about to leave after packing up his things, Fu Jing, the head of the sales department, knocked on the office door: "Vice President."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Fu Jing showed embarrassment and smiled at her: "That's right, isn't our department focusing on attacking Wanxiang this month? His family cooperates closely with big state-owned enterprises. If it is captured, it will be of great benefit to us indirectly. This time I didn't send anyone under me. I've been fighting with the deputy director for almost a month. I tried my best, but I still can't get it. Last week, the vice president in charge of the procurement department over there was chatting with me, and I heard that you are me Boss, he said he knew you and asked you to talk to him... Vice President, this... "
Du Ruo was surprised. She had never dealt with Wanxiang Company, so she didn't know why the other party asked to see her by name.
But Wanxiang does have a strong network of resources, and if it can be negotiated, it will be of great benefit to Yuanqian.
She said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Thank you, Vice President!" Fu Jing said happily.
Du Ruo smiled and shook his head.
The company is too young, and the employees are also young, with an average age of less than 25 years old.
Fu Jing, the supervisor, has just graduated two years ago, and is about the same age as Du Ruo, so she doesn't have so much experience.
I can only rely on her to hold on.
Du Ruo drove to the CBD area two blocks away, and took the elevator to Wanxiang Company on the 24th floor.
Fu Jing led her to the vice president's office, knocked on the door, and the other party looked up.
As expected, it turned out to be Guo Hong, a former acquaintance.
Du Ruo walked in and said with a smile: "So it's Vice President Guo, I guess it should be an old friend."
Guo Hong is in his thirties, with a medium build and an ordinary appearance. He smiled when he saw her: "Miss Du has been promoted now? It's not so easy to meet old friends."
As he spoke, he got up and reached out to her. Du Ruo shook hands with him, but he couldn't let go, "Oh, now we're talking about cooperation. If you don't come by yourself, send someone to send me away."
"Where is it? You should call me directly if you want to reminisce about the old days. The little girl in our company has been tortured so hard." Du Ruo said, looking back at Fu Jing, and said, "Deputy Guo is always an old friend. When we cooperated with him back then , Yuan Qian only has a dozen people, and he helped a lot."
"It's all mutual. Your products are good, and you have solved my problem. Come, sit first, sit first." Guo Hong held Du Ruo's hand, put her arm again, and told her to sit down.
The sleeveless shirt Du Ruo was wearing today, the man's palm fell on her bare arm, a little hot.
When he met this person in the early years, he didn't know how to measure, but he was under the eaves, so he could only pretend not to know. She maintained her smile and took the teacup from him.
"Miss Du has been promoted to vice president? Haha, she is beautiful and capable. I am afraid that Yuan Qian's performance is half of your credit."
"Don't dare to be." Du Ruo didn't like the flippant in his words, so he changed the subject, "Didn't Vice President Guo also get promoted?"
"I'm job-hopping, how can it be compared to your start-up? I saw at that time that your company has a bright future. Sure enough, the better you do it, the better it will become a big brand sooner or later."
"Vice President Guo was joking."
The two chatted for half an hour, without any professionalism, and the other party agreed. When sending Du Ruo out, he shook her hand again, and clapped her bare shoulder twice with the other hand.
Du Ruo said goodbye to him with a smile. It was not until she walked into the elevator that her face changed and she became quiet.
Fu Jing was so nervous that she didn't realize it yet, and praised: "The vice president is still very good, and his face is worth half a month's public relations." After speaking, he sighed, "Hey, in this society, human face is too important. You and He is familiar, so we can discuss it as soon as you come. We are not familiar, and it is useless to show more expertise."
Du Ruo was silent.
She didn't know this cruel reality until she entered the society.
If you have the strength, you don't have to worry about it. This is too ideal. After entering the society, I found that customer relationship and sales ability are very important, especially for small and growing companies.
Just thinking of Guo Hong's touch on her shoulder twice, she was really depressed and panicked. When she got down to the parking lot, she handed the key to Fu Jing. Sitting in the backseat of the car, I closed my eyes and meditated.
When I was in college, I felt that life was very tiring and bitter.
Only when we arrive in society do we realize that life is more tiring and bitter.
She also wants to enter the research institute, concentrate on research, and focus on nothing like she did in school. But the salary of the research institute makes life difficult, and it is impossible to support a family at all.
But starting a business requires accepting all kinds of entertainment and personnel affairs, which often makes people feel exhausted and exhausted.
But there is nothing perfect in the world.
