Chapter 1017 Extra 15: Make people speak clearly
Huo Xingzhou naturally saw his son's strange look and knew what was going on in his little head.
He said nothing, but looked at the two people in front of him.
"Mr. Huo."
The marketing manager greeted.
In fact, none of these managers and directors were very happy to meet with Huo Xingzhou alone. This Mr. Huo was too powerful, always able to find mistakes in the department's work, and sometimes it was even worse when he was in a bad mood.
If it weren't for Zhuang Yue, the marketing manager wouldn't have made this trip.
But it also shows that he really values Zhuang Yue.
"What's up?" Huo Xingzhou sorted through the documents on his desk and put them aside. He didn't seem to be idle, always busy.
"It's nothing serious. I just told Zhuang Yue about the suggestion you mentioned yesterday. She's a little confused and wants to consult you in person."
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes, as if he just saw Zhuang Yue.
Zhuang Yue pursed her lips tightly.
This was the first time Huo Xingzhou looked at her with such focused eyes, unlike the previous times when they passed by each other or glanced at each other in the crowd. Zhuang Yue felt the pressure in those eyes and realized that she might have underestimated this man.
Now she doesn't have that much courage in front of him.
The lines I rehearsed in my head so many times last night seemed to have disappeared completely.
"Zhuang Yue, just say whatever you want to say. Mr. Huo values you very much. If you have any questions, you can raise them in person." The marketing manager reminded him, "Seize the opportunity."
Good opportunity for expatriation.
Zhuang Yue's lips twitched, and he said hesitantly, "Mr. Huo, I want to know why you assigned me, of all the people, to go to Pingcheng. Is there any special reason? I've only been in the marketing department for a short time, and there are many seniors who are more experienced than me."
"Your manager says you're very capable. I need an ambitious newcomer. The old employees are stuck in the old ways and are already familiar with the Tianyuan Group's ways. Pingcheng is different from Haicheng and needs a new force."
This sounds reasonable.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him and said calmly, "If you feel you're not capable enough, I can find someone else. If I can't find someone among the fresh graduates in Haicheng, I can choose from Imperial University or overseas universities. I'll always find someone better."
Zhuang Yue is not irreplaceable.
Fresh graduates certainly want to be valued, and those people may be more proactive when hearing about this assignment, instead of running up to him and asking why he was chosen.
The marketing manager felt bad when he heard this. It seemed that Mr. Huo had just casually suggested that Zhuang Yue go to Pingcheng. If she didn't go, there were plenty of other candidates.
Why is Zhuang Yue so confused?
"Mr. Huo, Zhuang Yue didn't mean that. She's probably overjoyed to be personally chosen by you for the Pingcheng assignment. Young girls, unlike young boys, always have many concerns. Besides, she's familiar with Haicheng, so she might be a little worried despite being surprised. Zhuang Yue, is that so?"
Zhuang Yue nodded. "Mr. Huo, I'm not rejecting your assignment. I just have a lot of concerns. For example, what kind of results can I achieve after going to Pingcheng? And how many years will I have to stay there before I can come back? A subsidiary company can't be as good as the head office. If you hadn't assigned me the position of Deputy Manager of the Marketing Department, I would have suspected that I had offended you in some way and was demoted to Pingcheng."
She said with a smile, trying to make the remark sound playful and lighthearted.
"Are you here to ask for a promise?"
"Boss Huo, although we are in a superior-subordinate relationship, we made a mutual choice. I joined Tianyuan Group, and the group chose to keep me as a talent. So I want to know more clearly. Just think of this as a reassurance. In fact, my career development plan has never considered Pingcheng."
Seeing that she was still playing dumb, Huo Xingzhou felt that no one knew what he was thinking.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he looked at the manager and said, "You go out first."
"Mr. Huo, I..."
"Get out! Is the work in the marketing department so easy? You came to me so early in the morning for an ordinary employee?"
After hearing his unhappy words, the marketing manager quickly said, "I still have several meetings to go. I'm leaving now. I almost forgot the time. Mr. Huo, you guys chat."
"Close the door."
"yes."
Zhuang Yue had no idea why Huo Xingzhou had sent the manager away, and why he had specifically asked to close the door. She wasn't so narcissistic as to think he wanted to be alone with her, especially since Mr. Huo's five-year-old son was in the office.
The child had a pair of eyes that were extremely sharp, comparable to Huo Xingzhou's.
Zhuang Yue became even more nervous.
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to waste time talking to her, so he just asked, "Do you want to go to Pingcheng or not?"
"Mr. Huo, I just want to know if there will be a chance to come back in the future. If you want the donkey to grind the mill, you have to give it a carrot."
"If Pingcheng develops well and you rise to higher positions, why would you return to Haicheng?"
"I think Haicheng is a better place for me. It's bustling and lively, and many of my friends are here. I want to settle down in Haicheng in the future. Pingcheng was not even on my radar from the beginning."
"So you're not going to Pingcheng?"
Huo Xingzhou could hear the hesitation in her words. This woman still preferred to stay in Haicheng, but she seemed a little reluctant to give up the position of deputy marketing manager in Pingcheng. She wanted him to increase the stakes and promise her that she could come back and get a promotion within a few years.
A bit clever indeed.
No wonder he can stand out among so many people and has a good reputation among fresh graduates.
He has brains, emotional intelligence, and some crooked ideas.
However, Zhuang Yue was facing Huo Xingzhou, a veteran businessman who had been in business since he was a teenager. His intentions were immediately apparent. Facing Huo Xingzhou's questions, she was also hesitant.
Should she answer directly or in a roundabout way?
"Boss Huo, I just..."
"Just tell me if you're willing to go. I don't want to hear anything else, and I don't want to make empty promises. Capable people will naturally shine in the right positions. What do you think gives you the leverage to negotiate with me now?"
Huo Xingzhou didn't want to waste time and just wanted an answer.
Zhuang Yue's reason and ambition are in turmoil.
Reason told her to agree.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But ambition said that if he left Haicheng, he might not be able to come back, so how could he have the chance to carry out his plan with her?
"Mr. Huo, I'm willing to go to Pingcheng. But I hope to be able to report directly to you. After all, it seems that you attach great importance to the development of new markets in Pingcheng. With your guidance, I can also adjust my strategy in time. I can be a sharp knife in your hand and expand your territory for you."
laugh.
The child who was sitting on the sofa and playing by himself suddenly laughed.
