Chapter 11 No Need to Save for the Company
"Secretary Yu."
"Secretary Yu."
"Secretary Yu."
"You are so stupid, how can you be my secretary? You are fired!"
Yu Huan suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.
She stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, Meng Han's voice still ringing in her head, calling Secretary Yu who had been calling her in her dream all night.
A complete nightmare!
I grabbed my phone and saw it was half past six, the time to get up.
After packing herself up, she picked up her bag and went out to Meng Han's house.
This was her second day as the general manager's secretary, so she had to be proactive and not make any mistakes.
The same process as yesterday, she bought breakfast, made coffee, matched her clothes, and then went downstairs to wait for Meng Han by the car.
Compared to yesterday, today is much smoother.
In the car, she reported today's itinerary to Meng Han.
"Mr. Meng, the marketing department will give you a performance report at 10 a.m. this morning."
"New product report from the R&D department at 2 p.m."
"At 8 o'clock in the evening, there will be a cocktail party at the Wanhe Hotel."
Meng Han didn't respond to her immediately after hearing this. Yu Huan couldn't grasp his attitude and quietly looked at the rearview mirror.
Just then, Meng Han raised his eyes and their eyes met in the rearview mirror.
"Add another itinerary. Go to the Tingshan Development Zone Hospital at 4 pm to visit the workers who were injured last time. Please prepare some gifts."
"good."
Yu Huan withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to add a line to the schedule.
My heartbeat slowly calmed down as the car moved forward at a steady speed.
Only her powdered ears betrayed her nervousness.
After arriving at the company, Yu Huan began to prepare the gifts to be used in the afternoon.
The injured workers were old employees of the factory, and most of them had worked there for more than ten years.
The accident was caused by one of the old employees. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the workshop, but he secretly smoked in the workshop and his cigarette butt was not extinguished, which caused a fire.
The fire caused considerable damage and injured several people, who are now lying in a hospital near the factory.
Yu Huan had heard He Xiaowei mention this accident. It had happened more than a week ago, but the factory manager was afraid of taking responsibility and had kept it secret and not reported it.
Later, because the compensation issue was not negotiated, the family of one of the injured employees posted a video condemnation on a short video, and the incident soon became a big deal.
These things had nothing to do with Yu Huan's previous job, so she just listened to them and never paid attention to them. But now that this has become her job, she can't help but pay some attention to it.
I found the report of the incident and read it carefully to understand the whole story.
Hui'an Group started out as a food company, with its subsidiary responsible for fast food.
The workshop where the fire broke out mainly processed pasta and was full of flour, which was caused to explode by a cigarette butt.
There were four injured employees, including the perpetrator, three male employees and one female employee, all around 40 years old. Except for the perpetrator, the injuries of the others were not too serious.
The perpetrator suffered the most serious injuries, with extensive burns all over his body.
The man's name is Bai Dong, he is 42 years old and has worked in a factory for 16 years. He is married, his parents are old and have no income, and he has two children, one is in high school and the other is in junior high school.
For this family, now is the time to spend money.
Now, let alone income, he has caused such huge losses to the factory that the company may ask him to bear part or all of the economic losses.
After reading the report and reporting to Meng Han, Yu Huan asked the driver to go to the supermarket to buy comfort supplies.
At 3:50 pm, Yu Huan knocked on Meng Han's office door.
"Enter."
Pushing the door open and entering, Yu Huan gently reminded, "Mr. Meng, it's time to go to the hospital."
"Are the gifts ready?"
"It's all ready and loaded into the trunk."
Meng Han nodded slightly, stood up and left his desk. Just as he reached the door, a list was handed to him.
"Mr. Meng, would you like to take a look?"
She lowered her eyes, staring at him eagerly, and then quickly looked away the next moment.
Meng Han never had to worry about such trivial matters; he just mentioned it casually.
But today, he took the list and glanced at it for some unknown reason.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
"Secretary Yu."
Yu Huan's heart tightened and he responded immediately.
"exist."
"How do you get these?"
Normally when you go to the hospital to visit a patient, you would just give flowers, milk, fruit, health products, etc.
But in addition to these, this list also includes supermarket vouchers, shopping mall discount coupons, etc.
"Have you ever seen anyone using vouchers to visit a patient? Is the company short of money? Do they need to be so frugal?"
He was very curious about what she was thinking.
Yu Huan immediately explained, "This is what happened, Mr. Meng."
"I understand that these injured employees are all in their prime, and their children are mostly in middle school and high school, which is a time to spend money. Giving them health supplements just looks good, but in reality, they are of no use to them at all."
"But these vouchers are different. Whether you buy clothes for your children at the mall or buy food and other daily necessities for them at the supermarket, they are tangible things they can use."
"Since it's a gift, I think it shows more sincerity if I give what the other person needs most."
"And..." She paused, "It can also save costs for the company."
After she finished explaining, the air was briefly quiet.
"Secretary Yu."
When Meng Han called her name again, she felt her head go numb.
"Go exchange the voucher for condolence money."
"Yes." Yu Huan turned to leave, and Meng Han spoke again.
"Next time, you don't need to save money for the company, just get the job done."
Because of this delay, the departure time was more than ten minutes late. Meng Han did not speak again along the way.
Yu Huan sat in the passenger seat and began to reflect on his own problems.
People who give gifts care about face, while people who receive gifts care about practicality.
She went to express condolences on behalf of the company and should have put herself in the company's perspective, but when she was preparing the condolences, she put herself in the shoes of the recipient.
This is a big taboo and must be changed in the future.
When they arrived at the hospital, several employees were very happy when they received the condolence gifts, especially the condolence money. They kept thanking the company and President Meng.
Yu Huan secretly looked at Meng Han's expression. He had a polite smile on his face and his emotions could not be seen.
After looking at these employees, I went to see Bai Dong again.
He has been discharged from the intensive care unit and has been placed in a single room by the company. He is accompanied by a woman who must be his family member.
Bai Dong's attitude towards Meng Han's condolences was very indifferent, even a little indifferent. Her family members were more excited, constantly apologizing for Bai Dong and thanking the company for covering the medical expenses.
His words also expressed the hope that the company would not hold Bai Dong accountable because he is a long-time employee and has worked for the company for 16 years.
Meng Han did not make any extra promises and left after expressing his condolences.
Before leaving the ward, Yu Huan turned around and looked at Bai Dong lying on the hospital bed. He was also looking at him, his eyes empty and without any emotion.
On the way back to the car, Yu Huan kept wondering whether he should speak.
After the car started, she couldn't help but turned sideways and looked back.
"Mr. Meng, I think something is wrong with Bai Dong."
Meng Han looked up at her. She pursed her lips and continued, "A normal person's emotions would be like those of his family: fear, relief, and a bit of luck. But his eyes were devoid of any emotion; they were too empty."
"I suspect he may have suicidal thoughts."
The driver beside him interjected, "It's normal for him to have suicidal thoughts. He'll face a huge amount of compensation, and how can he afford such a sum?"
After hearing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but sigh: "If he dies, the company won't get any compensation."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately looked up at Meng Han. After the previous mistake, she was worried that Meng Han would think that she had put herself in Bai Dong's shoes again, so she explained immediately.
"I'm not saying he shouldn't make compensation. He must be punished for his mistakes so that other factory employees can learn from them."
"I'm considering it from the company's perspective. If he dies, the company gets nothing. But if he's alive, at least he can still create some value for the company. We can find a compensation method that benefits both parties..."
Meng Han looked at her in silence. Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she shut up.
Meng Han withdrew his gaze from her face and lowered his eyes to look at the report in his hand.
"That's right. If you make a mistake, you must be punished."
This sentence made Yu Huan nervous again, not knowing whether it was referring to Bai Dong or her.
In panic, she turned around and sat up, missing the slight curve of Meng Han's mouth.
