Some people were pessimistic, thinking that Du Juan, a rural woman who had not even finished junior high school, was unworthy of the position as a leader for these technical secondary school students or even college students.

Some people also think that Du Juan, a rural daughter-in-law, has achieved her current status and achievements through her own hard work and struggle, which is a legendary experience.

No matter how divergent everyone's opinions are, it will not have any impact on Du Juan's appointment as deputy general manager.

…

Although she successfully promoted Du Juan to the position, Shen Mingzhu did not arrange work for her immediately. Instead, she asked Du Juan to first familiarize herself with the business and understand the operation of each department.

Du Juan first went to the marketing department, which was where she was best.

Shen Mingzhu gave the task of helping Du Juan familiarize herself with the marketing department to Shen Hongmei.

The marketing department is mainly divided into three sections: product development, marketing and sales. In the entire marketing department, Shen Hongmei is the most experienced and least busy person.

Because of her pregnancy, she is currently only responsible for some clerical work.

…

"Hongmei, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Du Juan seemed particularly happy to see Shen Hongmei. From the establishment of the factory to the present, they have gone through many ups and downs together.

The last time we met was three years ago, when Shen Hongmei got married.

According to the custom of Shenjiagou, pregnant women do not attend weddings or funerals, so Shen Hongmei did not attend Qin Jinlian's funeral.

"It's all good. Please accept my condolences. Aunt Jinlian's incident happened so suddenly that I still can't believe it." Shen Hongmei sighed.

Du Juan sighed: "Life and death are determined by fate. I didn't expect that this time I came back would be the last time I saw her."

After that, he changed the subject and started to show concern for Shen Hongmei's belly: "I haven't congratulated you yet, when is the due date?"

"The end of April."

When talking about the baby in her belly, Shen Hongmei's face revealed the joy of being a new mother.

"That's going to be soon. I'll be able to deliver the baby in two months. I'll be relieved after the birth."

"Um."

After a brief chat, Shen Hongmei took out the information she had prepared in advance.

The materials include a detailed introduction to the entire department and each business unit, employee personal information, and outstanding performance, to help Du Juan quickly understand the situation and personnel of the entire marketing department.

Du Juan flipped through the thick documents and soon immersed herself in her work.

Shen Hongmei sat next to her, staring at her meticulously done makeup and clothes, feeling a little melancholy and regretful in her heart.

If it weren't for a slight change of mind, she might have been the one promoted to vice president and factory manager today.

People really can't go the wrong way.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

Fortunately, she repented in time and returned to the right path.

Although she is behind Du Juan now, it doesn’t matter, she will work hard to catch up.

Shen Hongmei secretly set a goal for herself in her heart.

…

Du Juan adapted quickly.

She spent a week moving around various departments, and in the following week, assisted in handling various matters under the leadership of Shen Mingzhu.

It is not an easy task to manage a food factory with nearly 600 employees.

It's lonely at the top.

What's more, for a paratrooper like Du Juan who has no foundation, every word and action is under great scrutiny, and any carelessness will lead to criticism and ridicule.

Fortunately, she withstood the pressure, excellently completed all the tasks assigned by Shen Mingzhu, and proved her worth with her strength.

As Du Juan's work performance gradually improved, Shen Mingzhu planned to start delegating power and gradually transfer the work in hand to Du Juan.

But before that, Du Juan must be assigned a qualified assistant.

"As for the position of assistant, do you have a favorite candidate?"

After receiving the list, Du Juan did not make a choice immediately, but planned to observe it for a while before making a decision.

"Let's set the harvest season for now."

"Okay, then go find Xiaowen and ask her to arrange for Mai Qiu's transfer as soon as possible."

"Um."

Du Juan nodded, turned and left.

Noticing that Du Juan glanced at Huang Ju before she left, Shen Mingzhu turned her head and saw Huang Ju's lonely and sad face, and she couldn't help but understand.

Huang Ju's name was on the list drawn up by the administrative department.

Huang Ju has followed her for quite some time, and his ability is unquestionable. He has also accumulated a certain amount of connections and reputation in the factory.

Compared with the newbie Mai Qiu, Huang Ju is fully capable of helping Du Juan gain a foothold faster and be more adept at her work.

However, Shen Mingzhu could understand why Du Juan gave up Huang Ju and chose Mai Qiu.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

A new emperor appoints his own ministers. Not every monarch has the vision and mind to make use of important ministers of the previous dynasty.

"I'm sure you know without me saying that your failure to be selected was not due to your lack of ability."

Huang Ju nodded slightly.

"Rather than dealing with a result that cannot be changed, you might as well think about your future path. I can arrange for you to work in any department you want."

Shen Mingzhu still favors Huang Ju, her loyal subordinate.

Huang Ju clasped his hands lightly in front of his abdomen, his expression confused and frustrated.

"I don't know either. Apart from assistant work, I don't seem to be able to do anything else."

"If you don't know how to do it, you can learn slowly. No one is born to be good at all five things. The key is whether you are willing to push yourself."

Huang Ju hesitated: "Boss Shen, let me think about it first."

Shen Mingzhu looked at her, the pen on her fingertips turning intermittently: "Would you consider changing your environment? The Jiangcheng branch needs a new person in charge."

Huang Ju was stunned at first, then waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it."

Shen Mingzhu sneered: "What are you afraid of? Do you think I will just hand over the entire Jiangcheng business to you? I'm afraid you'll mess it up."

Shen Mingzhu spoke bluntly, and Huang Ju couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"I plan to transfer someone to take over Mr. Shen's job. If you are willing to come with me, you can start as an assistant and learn little by little. It will also be a kind of experience and growth for you."

Huang Ju hesitated, "I have to go home and discuss it with my parents."

From what he said, it seems that he is obviously interested in going to Jiangcheng, but is afraid that his family will not agree.

Shen Mingzhu gave her two days to think about it.

…

In Du Juan's office.

After learning that he was chosen by Du Juan to be her assistant, Mai Qiu immediately packed his personal belongings and happily reported to Du Juan.

Du Juan was still very satisfied with Mai Qiu's initiative.

After get off work, she invited Mai Qiu to a western restaurant to eat steak, on the one hand to celebrate his promotion, and on the other hand to enhance their relationship.

In addition to a table full of sumptuous Western food, Du Juan also opened a bottle of red wine.

After two glasses of wine, Mai Qiu became much bolder. "Vice President Du, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask anything."

Du Juan had a smile on her face and added some more wine to the other person's glass.

A person's character can be seen from his drinking habits. She opened the wine with the intention of testing the new assistant's character.

"Sister Huang Ju is better than me in every way, and she is Mr. Shen's person. If you choose me instead of her, aren't you afraid that Mr. Shen will be unhappy? She put Huang Ju's name on the list, obviously wanting you to choose Sister Huang Ju."

Du Juan took a sip of red wine before answering: "When you are in doubt, put your own interests first." (End of this chapter)
