Chapter 43 Ambitious

The girl turned around slowly, and then reminded in a serious tone: "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid we don't have enough time. The meeting will start in half an hour."

At the desk, Chen Jingyuan stood up from the leather chair with a calm expression and walked towards the sofa area. He glanced at her with an unclear emotion as he passed by, "What do you think I need to do that will take more than half an hour?"

Liang Weining's heartbeat slowed down slightly.

It seems reasonable.

She walked over calmly and closed the door, and at the boss's signal, she sat down opposite him.

This posture was clearly the normal standard for a boss to talk to his subordinates. She was indeed overthinking it just now.

"How long have you been hired as a regular employee?" Chen Jingyuan asked.

Without thinking, Liang Weining gave a precise answer, "I signed the formalization responsibility letter at 10:05 am on October 30th, and it has been exactly one month today."

“Have you planned your career direction in the next two years?”

"Have."

Liang Weining said seriously: "You should work hard in the secretary position, master this job, and become an irreplaceable member of the China-Hong Kong Directors Office."

After the words fell, the air fell into silence.

Across the sofa, the man's gaze at her deepened imperceptibly, and he opened his lips to utter the cruel truth, "In the workplace, there is no position that cannot be replaced."

The boss killed the conversation with just one sentence.

Liang Weining was unwilling to give in, and asked weakly, "What about Mr. Chen? Can the position of executive director be replaced by someone else?"

If it were an ordinary subordinate, he would not have the courage to ask such a question.

Seeing her unwillingness to admit defeat, Chen Jingyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I am no exception."

Ok?
She didn't believe that anyone in Hong Kong had the ability to bring Mr. Chen down.

While thinking, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke, "If you are content with the status quo, not to mention the position of executive director, even the entire China Hong Kong Group will change sooner or later."

Liang Weining paused for a moment.

I was quite shaken.

After a few seconds of relief, she nodded, "I understand."

"Understand what."

"You want to tell me that people are independent individuals, and we must always be true to ourselves and not blindly rely on external material foundations. In this way, we can shine wherever we go."

Chen Jingyuan narrowed his eyes. Is this what he meant?
Before he could continue, he heard the girl talking to herself: "Don't worry, I won't just focus on this small place in front of me. One day, I will leave the secretary's office and go see the outside world."

"."

Liang Weining had no idea that the atmosphere around him was slowly solidifying.

After a while, the man calmly asked, "Where do you want to go after leaving the secretary's office?"

"Let's wait and see, there's no telling what the future holds."

The girl had a serious and upright attitude, and talked to her boss about life and plans with all her heart. She felt there was nothing to hide, including that she might plan to leave her job in the future.

Chen Jingyuan focused his attention, looked at her quietly for a while, and smiled faintly.

She knows what she wants better than anyone.

China and Hong Kong are not the end, but a bridge to a vast world, and even a stepping stone on her road to success.

This is good.

At least it proves that she has ambition.

"Remember what you said today. I hope that two years later, Secretary Liang will sit here and talk to me again in another capacity." Chen Jingyuan picked up the cigarette and lighter on the table, stood up, lit a cigarette and walked towards the office area, leaving a faint sentence, "Notify the downstairs to hold a meeting immediately."

Liang Weining came back to his senses and stood up from the sofa. "Can you give me a few minutes? I haven't had time to prepare the information yet."

"five minutes."

"it is good."

She rushed back to the secretary's office, received the email list, and assigned assistants to collaborate.

Vivi was busy shuttling between the printer and the workstation, muttering, "Has Mr. Chen's schedule changed for the afternoon? Why did the meeting suddenly get moved forward?" "Yes, there is too much information, five minutes is not enough." The assistants echoed.

Liang Weining tapped the keyboard with his fingers, stared at the screen and read out several file names, "First, finish the ones I just mentioned, and continue with the rest after the meeting starts."

"Is it possible? What if I need it in the first half?"

"No, just do as I say."

After working in the board office for four months, she has already figured out Chen Jingyuan's habits. Liang Weining knows what he values ​​and focuses on most in this regular project meeting.

However, just in case there were any exceptions, she quickly glanced through the rest of the documents.

The result is whatever you are afraid of.

This time the boss really didn't play by the rules.

However, it was not her who suffered, but someone else.

The third quarter investment project report was over, and several executives held their breath, waiting for the routine questions from the person at the top.

The huge conference room was so quiet.

Everyone was nervous.

After all, since Vice President Gao was transferred, the position of the head of the investment department is still undecided. The two candidates appear to be on good terms with each other, but in fact they are using all kinds of means secretly, forming cliques within the department and using all kinds of conspiracies and plots to compete for the control of more high-quality projects, so as to increase their chances of promotion in the performance appraisal at the beginning of next year.

Before that, the attitude of Executive Director Mr. Chen was the key to the success or failure of both parties.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jingyuan's low and steady voice reached the ears of the executives.

"The ZG3.0 financing project, from project establishment to round A, took less than two months before it was suddenly interrupted. What was the reason?"

ZG3.0?

After reading the corresponding directory under this number, the two candidates who were calm just now broke out in cold sweats.

The most inconspicuous row at the bottom of the list was brought to the forefront by Mr. Chen without any warning.

Both sides know it.

The project is difficult to operate and is small in scale. No matter who takes it on, it will be a thankless job that will not benefit anyone's promotion.

Therefore, it was rushed to completion to minimize the risks, and the catalog was barely filled in just to make the accounts look good. Moreover, Vice President Gao did not pay much attention to it when he was in office. Therefore, looking around the entire investment department, I am afraid that no one can stand up and explain the specific details of the project clearly.

But now, Mr. Chen is waiting for their response.

The familiar invisible air pressure from the side made Liang Weining raise her head silently. She glanced at the man above her, and his face really dropped to freezing point.

Whenever this happens, she is the one who is actually affected the most.

Because she is closest to that location.

This group of people will be skinned alive today if they don't die.

Unless there is a scapegoat—

When I was halfway through my thoughts, someone really stood up.

The supervisor was named Qiao. Liang Weining had a slight impression of him. Previously, in the stairwell of the employee cafeteria, he accidentally heard that he had a disagreement with Vice President Gao on a project, and the argument was quite intense at the time.

It turned out that he was not a scapegoat, but the second King Gou Jian of Yue.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared and dare to challenge. Eventually, the ZG3.0 project was restarted by Mr. Chen, and its direct person in charge was appointed as Supervisor Qiao.

After the meeting, Liang Weining saved the computer document and stood up.

At this time, a senior executive came over and reminded her to help copy the detailed minutes as usual.

This scene happened to be seen by Chen Jingyuan who had not yet stepped out of the meeting room.

The boss glanced at them with sharp eyes and said calmly, "Do you want her to collect your wages for you?"

The two executives were so frightened that they immediately said no, ashamedly.

Looking at the man's indifferent back as he left, Liang Weining swallowed.

It seems that the bad habits she developed in the downstairs residents have displeased the boss.
