Anning: "You've met them too, what do you think of them?"
Lei Ting: "I glanced at the accounts, there are no problems, and I don't need to worry about the loyalty of the two men, but..."
An Ning: "But what?"
Lei Ting: "It's just a matter of whether they're loyal to you or to the An family."
An Ning: "This...this naturally means loyalty to our family, is there any difference?"
Lei Ting: "Of course there are. Only those who are loyal to you can follow in your footsteps for a long time and become your tacit soul guardians. If they are loyal to the An family, it means that they are loyal to their work, including you, who are just a job to them."
An Ning: "Oh? Young Master Lei, are you going to tell me about the unspoken rules of the workplace?"
Anning crossed her legs and watched Leiting with great interest. Leiting sat in a green wicker chair and began to tell Anning his views on the workplace.
Lei Ting: "It's not really an unspoken rule, I figured it out myself. My first secretary was arranged by my dad back then. He even had to report to my dad how much water I drank. I just made up an excuse to fire him. Then my receptionist Guo Fan was always diligent and conscientious, so I promoted him to be my secretary. Sure enough, he was much better than that other person and was only loyal to me. With him, my mood at work improved a lot, and I was able to handle things more efficiently."
Anning: "Isn't your dad angry?"
Lei Ting: "Of course not, on the contrary, I'm very gratified, because through this incident I've learned what the simplest way to manage people is. This is also what my dad was pointing out to me."
An Ning: "The art of managing people... What if that secretary had pledged her loyalty to you from the very beginning! What if she had been loyal to you!"
Thunder: "I will continue to use him, promote him, and give him opportunities, but he didn't. Of course, I won't give him any more opportunities. You could say that I had already planned how to replace him from the moment he came to my side."
An Ning: "Qingqing and Zhongjing share the same stance as me. At least that's how it seems now."
Thunder: "It's not that their stance is the same as yours, but that they are opposed to you."
Anning: "You've only met them once and exchanged a few words with them, how do you know?"
Thunder: "If they were on the same side as you, they would protect you in their own way, just like Jenny. But they didn't. They didn't even ask the most basic questions we had. That's enough to prove that they're just people doing a job."
Anning: "But what I need are people who work, and there's nothing wrong with people who are loyal to their work."
Lei Ting: "Let me put it this way, Qingqing and Zhongjing are your employees, and so is Jenny. But there can be many Qingqing and Zhongjing, but there is only one Jenny. Many details can show this. I hope you can pay more attention to the people around you, sense their emotions, and see if they can empathize with you. Those who can empathize with you are your guardians, and you can trust them unconditionally. Otherwise, you cannot."
An Ning: "You're suddenly so serious, so solemn."
Thunder: "I might be a bit domineering when it comes to work, but it's already very difficult to find people who are loyal to their work. The workplace is a battlefield with fierce competition, no less intense than the battlefields of ancient times."
An Ning: "Maybe because I'm standing on the top floor, my perspective on the issues isn't as comprehensive as yours."
Lei Ting: "I figured out a lot about things in the workplace on my own. An Ning, I neglected you too much before. If I had brought you to my side and you had fought alongside me, our Lei family would definitely be even more prosperous than it is now."
An Ning: "It's not too late for you to teach me now. I'll tell you why I like you. Your vision and insights are indeed unique, even better than mine."
Thunder: "This is not something you can master overnight. As you see more people, you will gradually be able to handle any situation with ease. At that time, no matter how well someone pretends in front of you, you will be able to see through their true colors at a glance."
An Ning: "I thought you were a love-struck fool, but I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Young Master Lei."
Lei Ting: "If I were so capable, I wouldn't have lost you, An Ning. Qing Qing and Zhong Jing are good examples. They are just your employees, nothing more. You did a good job just now. This is how you should deal with this type of person: a balance of strictness and leniency, kindness and severity."
An Ning: "Really? I was just like any other day!"
Thunder: "Of course there is. When you talk to Jenny, it's like talking to family. You use a lot of interjections, and Jenny calls you Anning. But it's different here. You have a new title: President An."
An Ning: "Subtly, my parents often took me to attend psychology classes for managers, and I may have gradually come to see myself as a manager."
Lei Ting: "Once you're in a high position, you don't care about management anymore. It's just a title, a representative. Your real role is to be a leader. Even a small company can quickly rise and expand as long as it has a leader with firm beliefs."
Lei Ting spoke about his definition and understanding of the workplace, things An Ning had never heard before. An Ning's education was limited to management, focusing on being good at management and business. Lei Ting, however, told her how to discover and empathize, to discover her own potential, to discover the potential of others, to take the lead, and to carve out her own path, rather than just being limited to management.
An Ning was stunned by Lei Ting's appearance. This man before her possessed a heart of a tiger yet a gentle touch; he not only had extensive knowledge but, more importantly, a strong belief in himself. A person with belief can achieve anything. Her Lei Ting wasn't just love-struck; on the contrary, he was a highly capable and insightful individual. An Ning already envisioned Lei Ting leading her to establish her own new An Group. Lost in thought, she remained speechless.
