Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Calabash Brothers Saves Grandpa
In order to facilitate future work, Shao Jiayan first added Si Yizhi's personal WeChat account. Then, his colleagues pulled him into a work group called "Huluwa Saves Grandpa".
There are eight people in the group including him, and Miss Ai Si’s nickname is: Little Butterfly~
After taking another look at the nicknames of the group members, Shao Jiayan wisely changed his own name to: Qiwawa.
Two of the six general assistants to the company are level three special assistants, acting as general managers. The other four assistants are also level two special assistants, all in charge of business, and are definitely management level.
It is said that the seventh brother in the Calabash Brothers is quite powerful, but Shao Jiayan feels that he is not worthy of being in the same group with these six brothers~
After communicating with his seniors for a while, Shao Jiayan could probably foresee his future work and life. The order of the seven brothers in their group was based on the time of joining the company.
As a game company that has been established for less than six years, the average age of Ark Game's management is not very old. Shao Jiayan's brothers are all lively and cheerful, which is completely different from the company's boss Si Yizhi.
As for the newcomers, everyone was very welcoming. Seeing them chatting enthusiastically in the group, Shao Jiayan also had a clear definition of his identity on the 22nd floor. He was just here to do odd jobs.
On the first day of the job transfer, Shao Jiayan read the SOP carefully in the morning, and in the afternoon he followed his second and fifth brothers to observe the daily work of the general assistant up close.
The next day, Shao Jiayan was going to officially take up his post as Mr. Si's personal assistant. Then, he received a new task personally assigned by Mr. Si.
[Let me see what this new task is... emmm... um? Tomorrow I have to guide the new Wen family young master Wen Kefan to familiarize himself with the company environment? My goodness, isn't this the kind person who turned Mr. Si into a vegetable and helped Mr. Si get promoted? ]
[Spread the flowers~ I have been waiting for a change of boss for a long time! 】
[Mr. Si, the god who is in charge of approving annual leave! This old servant respectfully welcomes your arrival! ]
As Shao Jiayan's current boss, Si Yizhi's fists hardened.
He knew that many workers had deep resentment towards their bosses, and Si Yizhi himself knew that his company had a serious overtime situation. However, the salary level of Ark Games was more than twice that of the same industry. Although no one likes to work overtime, no one dislikes money either. Even though the work pressure at Ark Games is high, it is still the most popular company during the annual campus recruitment.
But judging from Shao Jiayan's thoughts, Si Yizhi fell into deep thought. After all, as a boss, no one likes to be cursed by employees to die early. After all, there are hundreds of people in the company. If everyone thinks the same as Shao Jiayan, his early death may be the result of the curses of his employees day and night.
At the morning meeting, the project leader who was supposed to be introduced solemnly was instead casually mentioned by the president's secretary.
Shao Jiayan, who did not read the novel seriously at first, did not know that the gears of fate had changed their trajectory. The protagonist, who was originally supposed to be the person in charge of the "Love Reincarnation" project, should have successfully returned to the Wen family with the help of the villain, and entered the Wen's Company to compete with the real young master of the Wen family.
Now Si Yizhi has only given Wen Kefan an ambiguous position as general secretary, which makes it difficult for the subsequent plot to develop.
However, Si Yizhi called him to the office alone in a bad tone after the morning meeting, "Why didn't you reply to the message I sent you last night?"
After a semi-showdown with Shao Jiayan yesterday, Si Yizhi originally wanted to discuss the connection between their physical senses. However, due to the change in the position he originally planned to give to Wen Kefan, Wen Kefan, who had already left Beijing to join him in Shenzhen, was very dissatisfied with his sudden change of mind after receiving the notice. From yesterday afternoon to now, Si Yizhi has been asked about the change of position by various expected and unexpected people, which made him unable to deal with the sudden trouble caused by Shao Jiayan.
It was Shao Jiayan who took out his mobile phone with a look of surprise, and when he saw the WeChat message clearly, his eyes almost went dark.
At 12:03 a.m. last night, Mr. Si sent him several short essays, all of which described the detailed process and reasoning of his discovery of something wrong with his body in the past two days, and the rigor was almost as good as a short essay.
"Uh..." Shao Jiayan was sweating profusely.
Yesterday, he worked overtime with Erwa and the others until 9:30, and it was past 10 when they got home. He went to the convenience store and bought several boxes of the hated mushroom stewed chicken noodles. He made all kinds of wishes with the instant noodle fork while making instant noodles, and he didn't go to bed until 12 o'clock when nothing happened.
But there were too many new WeChat friends and WeChat groups added yesterday, and the general assistant had to arrive earlier than the president himself. Shao Jiayan's morning commute time would also be one hour earlier than before, so he didn't have time to clear the unread messages this morning.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Si, I fell asleep yesterday~"
Shao Jiayan was quite ashamed of those small essays. But he had also tried hard. Last night, he ate three buckets of mushroom stewed chicken noodles with tears in his eyes, and now his stomach is full.
Si Yizhi rolled his eyes at him and did not immediately deal with his dereliction of duty of "not replying to the boss's message in time".
"Okay, when the new secretary comes over later, you take him to get familiar with the company." Si Yizhi thought for a moment and took out a car key from the drawer and handed it to him, "You can drive this car when you go on business trips in the future."
Although Si Yizhi was born into a big family, and his biological parents were both wealthy families in Beijing, his parents divorced in a very undignified way. Although he was the eldest son of the Si family, he was not loved by his father and mother, and was hastily sent to study in Germany when he just came of age.
It can be said that Si Yizhi's current status is mostly due to his own efforts, so he does not have many of the problems of the second-generation rich in Beijing. Even though his net worth is now over ten figures, he is still relatively simple in his daily life, and belongs to the first-generation entrepreneurial style of saving when necessary and spending when necessary.
He does not have a specially hired driver. He usually drives himself to and from get off work. Only when he goes out for business will he use his assistant's part-time driver.
Now that we have a personal assistant, it stands to reason that tasks like driving outside should be done by the new personal assistant.
But what he never expected was that the young man opposite him lowered his head and said timidly, "Sorry, Mr. Si, I don't have a driver's license..."
Most young people these days may not know how to drive, but they cannot be without a driver’s license.
But unfortunately, Shao Jiayan was excluded from the vast majority of people.
Si Yizhi never expected that the graduate from a prestigious university in his own company did not have a driver's license.
He subconsciously asked, "Why don't you get a driver's license?"
Shao Jiayan pursed his lips and answered honestly, "No money."
Shao Jiayan relied on student loans to pay for his tuition and living expenses during his four years of university.
In previous years, the children in their welfare home who had excellent college entrance examination scores were funded by donations from caring companies, but the year he took the college entrance examination happened to coincide with a once-in-a-century epidemic. All caring companies went to support the fight against the epidemic, but there was no corporate donation the year he graduated, so Shao Jiayan was unlucky enough to become the only child in the orphanage who was admitted to a 211 university but had to rely on student loans to go to school.
Shao Jiayan had to work for two years to pay off half of his 60,000 yuan student loan. This was even when he worked more overtime and earned more than his peers at Ark Games. And since he changed jobs, for the sake of the company's image, Shao Jiayan could no longer wear the programmer's plaid shirt that he bought on Taobao for 59 yuan with free shipping. The two suits he ordered yesterday were still on the way, but they had already consumed most of his savings.
But it was a bit too much to let the boss drive when going out with him. Just when Shao Jiayan was thinking about opening a Huabei installment account to enroll in a driving school, the villain boss acted like a human being and said, "Go learn to drive as soon as possible. Fill out the reimbursement form and go through the process to get your tuition reimbursed."
Shao Jiayan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
I thought: Wow, the capitalists are bleeding a lot! Being a general assistant also has such benefits?
Si Yizhi couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard his compliments which were so contradictory.
If he hadn't cursed me in my heart for being stingy, I should have been able to smile more sincerely.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Ai Si came in late with his new secretary Wen Kefan.
Shao Jiayan met the original protagonist, Wen Kefan, without any preparation.
As a new employee, Wen Kefan was late on his first day at work, and he was not even present at the company's senior management morning meeting when Si Yizhi introduced the new employees. But the management was quite happy about this, after all, it was well known that Si Yizhi's secretary was a rank-and-file agent.
When Si Yizhi insisted on letting Wen Kefan be in charge of an important project, many people opposed it. Although they didn't understand why President Si suddenly changed his mind, everyone was satisfied with the result.
But for Wen Kefan, he was excited to leave Beijing and come to Shenzhen to work hard, but he received a notice as soon as he got on the plane that his original position as project director had been changed to the president's secretary. He angrily called Si Yizhi several times yesterday, but the other party evaded the question by saying that he was not the one who had the final say in the company and that other shareholders disagreed.
Although the boss's attitude on the phone was very good, he was unwilling to give in on the issue of position.
Wen Kefan also knew that Si Yizhi's secretary was just a slacker. If he knew in advance that Si Yizhi would only offer him a general secretary position, he would never agree to go to Shenzhen. He wanted to give up the job and go back to Beijing last night. But Si Yiran called him for half the night, persuading him with emotion and reason, and finally Wen Kefan came to report reluctantly.
But when Shao Jiayan and Wen Kefan met, Si Yizhi kept his usual expression, but in his heart he was looking forward to Shao Jiayan's reaction. In the past two days, he heard that Shao Jiayan's inner thoughts were either cursing his own early death or thinking about how to get along well with the protagonists. He didn't say anything about his concern for the development of the plot and how he lost to Si Yiran.
He originally thought that Shao Jiayan would be able to think about something serious after seeing Wen Kefan, but she came up and said: [Is this the protagonist Wen Kefan? What's the look in Sister Ai Si's eyes? How are I similar to him? He doesn't even look as good as me. ]
Si Yizhi was so angry at his focus that he almost lost his breath.
