Chapter 6: See how Jiang Lingli operates
On Monday, there were various meetings at Xingtan. After the regular meeting, Jiang Lingli's team called in Shi Zhenglin for a special meeting on human resources. Shi Zhenglin had only been there a few days, and he was already working at full speed. He officially announced internally that Xingtan had entered the preparation phase for listing, with plans to file for listing at the end of December. Internal listing evaluation and compliance work began, and he asked Jiang Lingli to come up with a plan for human resources compliance and organizational structure. She led the team to come up with it, and then found him to report. Just as she started to talk about the PowerPoint, he interrupted her. "The meeting system needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. Everyone's competing to make PowerPoints, it's so fancy. You should sort out the meeting system, streamline the number of meetings to a minimum, and limit the content to problem solving." He disliked the current meeting system. "Okay." She skipped the few pages of the PowerPoint he mentioned at the beginning and went straight to the organizational issues. After her presentation, he thought she was okay. Looking at the organizational chart on the screen, he said, "That's basically it. Let's add an overseas expansion channel, temporarily targeting Southeast Asia. I've discussed this with my boss. The BD line is currently understaffed, so we need to find someone, a BD Director. We have a lot of cooperation to discuss regarding the IPO." "Then let's refine the organizational structure for the overseas expansion channel," Jiang Lingli said to Huang Meng, the recruitment manager sitting diagonally across from her. Huang Meng was the one who did the actual work. He quickly took note. "The staffing needs to be streamlined. Personnel compliance and stability impact the IPO, so we need to strictly control it and put it in place as soon as possible." Shi Zhenglin glanced at his phone. "Okay." "Also, set up a IPO working group. You should also draw up a structure for this group. I have one if you need it; you can ask my secretary for it for reference. Anyone who can fill the position internally should fill it concurrently, and fill any vacancies as soon as possible." "Okay." "Do you have any internal reserves for the Secretary General?" "We'll have to look externally. The boss didn't mention IPOs originally." Shi Zhenglin frowned slightly. "Go ahead. This person needs to have experience in the pharmaceutical industry with IPO experience." "Okay. Let's sort out the personnel requirements and job descriptions. I'll find someone immediately after you approve them. Also, Mr. Shi, under the original structure, I budgeted 2 million yuan for recruitment before the New Year, mainly for headhunting fees. Now that there's been a significant change, I'll make an adjustment and report it to you for approval." Jiang Lingli's mind quickly calculated that the original budget was insufficient and would need to be increased. "The budget remains unchanged," he said, his tone refusing to negotiate. Jiang Lingli and Huang Meng exchanged a glance. They were under tremendous pressure with this budget. "The original budget already took into account maximizing cost control. With so many new positions now, we still need the efficiency and quality of headhunting. The budget doesn't match the recruitment needs, and we still need Mr. Shi's support." Jiang Lingli was going to pull the strings when necessary. "You guys improve...
After the regular meeting on Monday, Jiang Lingli's team held a special meeting on human resources with Shi Zhenglin.
Shi Zhenglin had only been in office for a few days when he started working at high speed, officially announcing internally that Xingtan had entered the preparation stage for listing and planned to submit an application for listing at the end of December.
As the internal listing review and compliance work began, he asked Jiang Lingli to come up with a plan for human resources compliance and organizational structure. She led her team to come up with it and would report to him whenever she had a chance.
She just opened her mouth to talk about the PPT when she was interrupted by him.
"The meeting system needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. Everyone is competing to make PPTs, which is too fancy. You should sort out the meeting system, reduce the number of meetings to a minimum, and limit the content to solving problems." He is disgusted with the current meeting system.
"Okay." She skipped the first few pages of the PPT where he talked about some fancy stuff and went straight into the organizational issues.
After she finished her presentation, he thought she was okay. Looking at the organizational chart on the screen, he said, "That's basically it. Let's add an overseas line, temporarily heading to Southeast Asia. I've discussed this with my boss. The BD line is too weak right now. We need to find someone, a BD director. There's a lot of cooperation to discuss for the IPO."
"Then let's refine the organizational structure of the overseas line." Jiang Lingli said to Huang Meng, the recruitment manager sitting diagonally opposite.
Huang Meng was the one who did the actual work. He quickly wrote it down.
"The configuration needs to be streamlined. Personnel compliance and stability affect the listing. We need to strictly control the process and put it in place as soon as possible." Shi Zhenglin glanced at his phone.
"good."
"Also, we'll set up a listing working group. You'll also need to draw up a structure chart for this group. I have one if you need it, and you can ask my secretary for it for reference. Those who can fill the position will do so concurrently, and if there are vacancies, fill them immediately."
"good."
"Does the secretary have any internal reserves?"
"We need to recruit externally for this. The boss didn't mention going public before."
Shi Zhenglin frowned slightly, "Let's find him. He must have worked in the pharmaceutical industry and has gone public."
"Okay, let's sort out the personnel needs and job descriptions, and I'll find someone right away after I report to you for approval. In addition, Mr. Shi, the recruitment budget I made under the original structure before the New Year was 2 million, mainly for headhunting fees. Now there are big changes, so I will make some adjustments at the same time and report to you for approval then." Jiang Lingli quickly calculated in her mind and realized that the original budget was not enough and had to be increased.
“The budget remains unchanged.”
A tone that does not allow for negotiation.
Jiang Lingli and Huang Meng exchanged a glance. They were under a lot of pressure with this budget.
"The original budget already took into account maximizing cost control. Now that so many new positions have been added, we still need the efficiency and quality of headhunting. The budget does not match the recruitment needs, and we still need Mr. Shi's support."
Jiang Lingli will pull what needs to be pulled.
"You should improve your internal recruitment mechanism and have internal recruiters fill some positions instead of throwing them all to headhunters. You can encourage internal referrals. We haven't taken any action against so many layoffs. We're still absorbing new employees and keeping costs under control."
"We have no problem finding it ourselves, but the channels are limited after all, so efficiency is a problem."
Jiang Lingli couldn't say that she was incompetent, and she had to say it in advance that it would take time to recruit people.
Shi Zhenglin looked at his phone again.
After more than ten minutes of the meeting, Jiang Lingli saw that his cell phone on the desk was always on silent mode with the screen on. The calls came one after another, but the phone didn't explode, which broke her gossipy heart. Who was so persistent? He remained indifferent.
"The budget is like this in advance. We'll talk about it later if we encounter any specific difficulties. Have you ever done an equity incentive plan before?" He jumped directly to other tasks.
"No."
"The synchronization needs to be done and submitted for discussion next month."
"good."
The tasks were handed down one after another. Jiang Lingli wrote them down, thinking to herself, if someone parachuted in and failed to win people's hearts, and simply forced people to work hard, they would die quickly.
The phone was still on, so he finally picked it up, signaling a pause in the meeting. He walked to the window and answered it. He listened to a lot of conversation on the other end and replied, "I'll be back in an hour."
After hanging up the phone, his face turned gloomy and he was in a hurry to adjourn the meeting. "In the early stages of preparation for the listing, it is not appropriate to disclose the listing information publicly on the recruitment website. Please pay attention to the recruitment information posted." After saying that, he hurried away.
The people who stayed in the conference room were furious.
"Recruiting is too difficult. We can't post on recruitment websites to announce the listing, so how can we attract people? Should we go headhunting ourselves? Do targeted interviews? We have so much work on our hands right now that we can't do anything else!"
Huang Meng was anxious. He knew Jiang Lingli had something against Shi Zhenglin, and by speaking in her favor, he was also making his work more difficult.
"You should first sort out a few difficult positions for the headhunters, and invite people to come over for the talks in the next two days. The recruitment volume this year is large, so give it to two companies. You should hurry up to recruit those who you should recruit yourself, because finding people in the market is not as difficult as before." Jiang Lingli packed up and left.
She has to balance both her superiors and subordinates. When she has recruitment performance evaluation indicators on her shoulders, she pushes down.
Huang Meng followed her instructions and arranged appointments with two headhunters after the meeting. They used to meet with several, but now they relied on and trusted Lin He, making it a three-way bidding process. He would let Jiang Lingli decide which firm to choose. He also hoped it would be Lin He. He would find someone for him, and he wouldn't even have to prepare a job description. He knew Xingtan better than he did.
Jiang Lingli knows how to arrange dishes. There are many positions this time. If all the dishes are put on one plate for Lin He, it would be bad if the higher-ups' review and approval process arouse suspicion. Don't think she is up to something.
She did call Lin Yao in person in the evening and arranged to stagger the times. Theirs was in the morning, while the other two families' was in the afternoon, which was considered to be differentiated treatment and more considerate.
After answering her call, Lin Yao sent a voice message to Long Weihe, "We met by chance a few days ago. I'm going to their company tomorrow. It hasn't been a few days."
She lay in bed, her voice hoarse and her coughing. She'd gone to bed early. She'd been wearing too little the other day when she went to visit Shi Zhenglin by the river, and she'd caught a severe cold from the cold. Normally, she'd just push through illnesses without taking medicine, but this time, after a few days of this, the cold medicine had left her feeling dizzy and groggy. She was getting anxious about this and was a little flustered. She checked the time. It wasn't even nine o'clock yet. She took a few sips of water from the thermos by her bed, but her throat was completely dry.
Long Weihe replied, "Even if I ran into him by chance a year earlier, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Let's see how Jiang Lingli handles it. I'll check on her tomorrow. I'll have to rely on her."
"If there's still time, I'll go to the mall tomorrow and pick out some small gifts. What would be suitable?"
"Let's order some flowers for the office. Small imported pale pink tulips. Jiang Lingli didn't like them in his office before. As for Huang Meng, buy him a better business card holder. The one I saw him holding before the New Year was a little worn."
Long Weihe checked the time and sent another message, "It's too late tomorrow. The mall doesn't open that early. I'll go buy it now."
If they said they were going to the mall, Qian Duoduo would have to tag along. At nine in the evening, the mall would close, and Long Wei wouldn't spend any time with him, so she'd just drag him along and go.
It was a wet, rainy day, a bit cold. Mother and son took a taxi to a familiar shopping mall near their home.
The atrium on the first floor of the mall is a children's activity area with many cartoon character decorations. Qian Duoduo ran over there and lingered for a while, but was forcibly dragged by Long Weihe and hurried up to the second floor to find the store.
“Duoduo!”
They took the escalator up and ran into Qian Pingtao, who was holding two shopping bags.
"Dad!" Qian Duoduo jumped into his arms like a rabbit.
He picked her up and followed her. "I just bought shoes for Duoduo here. When he was in Hong Kong, he said he liked the fluorescent shoes. I bought two pairs and thought it would be a perfect gift for him."
It was almost closing time for the mall, so she didn't have time to pay attention and went straight into the store to look for something.
The clerk asked, "Is it for men or women?"
"Men."
When Qian Pingtao heard that she was buying it for a man, he pulled Qian Duoduo to the door and asked quietly, "Who are you buying it for, Mom?"
"have no idea."
Long Weihe quickly picked one, paid the bill, and came over to pull Duoduo up, "Goodbye, Dad."
"I'll take you there. The car is in the basement." He followed.
That car was the scene of the affair she had witnessed, and she immediately felt sick in her stomach.
The person who mentioned the car was as embarrassed as a knife at this time, and added weakly, "I changed the car."
Afraid that the strange atmosphere would affect Qian Duoduo, she tried to divert his attention by saying, "Guess what color the taxi will be."
"yellow!"
As she exited the mall, the drizzle turned into heavy rain. She had left in such a hurry that she didn't have an umbrella.
"I'm cold. I want to ride in dad's car." Qian Duoduo broke away from her hand, shrank back, and refused to go out into the rain.
"Don't get wet in the rain, you'll catch a cold!" Qian Pingtao felt that this was an opportunity and wanted to pick up Qian Duoduo again.
She quickly controlled the person, took off her coat, wrapped the person from head to toe in her long windbreaker, picked him up and rushed into the rain.
Qian Pingtao couldn't stop them, so he quickly helped her stop a green taxi, but she didn't get in.
A yellow taxi behind her wanted to pull over but didn't, so she freed her hand and waved.
The windshield wiped her eyes, her eyelashes were blinding, and she couldn't open her eyes. She pushed the person she was holding up a little higher and wiped his eyes with the clothes covering his back.
The man who had gone through so much trouble saw the mother and son get in the car, wiped the cold rain off his face, looked at the wet shopping bag in his hand, and without even having time to give it to them, he waved his hand impatiently to the driver of the green taxi who was urging him to get in, signaling him to leave.
The driver stuck his head out, stiffened his neck and cursed, "You're crazy if you don't get on the bus!"
