Chapter 3 Lin Jingchuan
After a weekend of rest, Xu Mo showed up at the office on time on Monday.
Zou Kexin looked at her in surprise: "Momo! Weren't you going on vacation? Why are you back so soon?"
Xu Mo didn't want to tell her because she had just broken up with her boyfriend, and in order to avoid falling into sadness, she urgently needed work to fill her life.
After all, Zou Kexin is a big mouth. If someone tells her something in the morning, the whole office will know it in the afternoon.
It was Zou Kexin who told everyone in the group that she had a boyfriend of eight years.
Zou Kexin had three years more work experience than her. When she first joined the company, she thought Zou Kexin was a friendly senior, but she was backstabbed by her and sold out her private affairs, using them as topics of conversation in the tea room and as bargaining chips to exchange secrets with others.
Every failure is a learning experience. From then on, Xu Mo realized for the first time the truth often said by experienced people: you come to the company to work, not to make friends.
Since that incident, Xu Mo began to keep her distance from Zou Kexin.
She couldn't tell Zou Kexin about her breakup with Zhao Tingyu this time.
Xu Mo did not respond directly to Zou Kexin's words, but joked: "Ah, of course... I miss you!"
Zou Kexin raised her orchid finger and covered her mouth shyly with her hands. "Momo, why are you joking today?"
Zou Kexin's project was at a critical stage of progress, and she was soon summoned by her manager on the company's instant messaging software, frantically dragging the mouse to modify the PPT.
Xu Mo was free for the first time in a long time. She sat at her workstation and opened the company's internal training website.
The project was basically completed, and since Manager Wu didn't contact her, she could arrange her time on her own.
She took a look at the required course for a while. If she didn't finish it, the HR department would put her on the unfinished list and announce it to the whole company.
The course was in English, and Xu Mo started to daydream after listening for a while.
The phone vibrated. Xu Mo looked down and saw a new message on WeChat, so she clicked it.
It was a WeChat message from a bank account manager: [Hello Ms. Xu, I see that two of your wealth management products are about to expire. I would like to recommend a new wealth management product with low risk and high returns, an annualized return of 1.7%...]
Xu Mo exited the conversation with the account manager and swiped down.
Stop at Zhao Tingyu's portrait.
As expected, Zhao Tingyu didn't look for her.
Xu Mo thought about it, clicked on Zhao Tingyu's avatar, and clicked on the three small dots in the upper right corner.
Zhao Tingyu was blacklisted.
After completing this action, she exhaled with relief.
If I can’t see Zhao Tingyu’s profile picture, I won’t have any more thoughts about him.
"Xu Mo?"
Xu Mo had just finished replying to her account manager when a familiar voice came from above her head.
Having been caught slacking off, Xu Mo quickly locked her screen, feeling a bit guilty. Seeing her direct supervisor looking down at her from across the locker, her heartbeat quickened. "Manager Wu."
Manager Wu pushed up his glasses and asked, "Aren't you on vacation today?"
Xu Mo: "Yes."
She appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very panicked. The situation was not good. Her direct supervisor discovered on the spot that she had no work to do, which was very dangerous.
As she expected, Manager Wu nodded and began to assign her tasks. "Come to Conference Room A on the 18th floor. There's a client meeting in ten minutes. Please take the minutes."
Xu Mo:!
Zou Kexin raised her head from the blue square PPT and cast a sympathetic look at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo picked up the computer and went upstairs. Zou Keyin mouthed to her: Take care.
Before getting on the elevator, Xu Mo asked for help from her small group:
[What project is the launch meeting for today? Is it the Landa Group project?]
I guess so. I heard the client for this project was extremely demanding and stingy with the money. The budget was low, the timeline was tight, and the requirements were high. No one in the firm wanted to take it.
[Then why did Manager Wu accept the call? ]
"Landa Group is a leading company in the industry, and our company probably wants to make a name for itself. First impressions are crucial, so the leadership has high expectations for this project. Manager Wu is getting promoted to partner this year, so give it a try!"
[Unmarried female leaders are all about hard work.]
"What's wrong with not being married? What's wrong with being a female boss? Isn't Manager Wu good enough? He's very capable and, while strict with his subordinates, he also helps them secure promotions. Cheng Ming, you've also been mentored by Manager Wu. Think about it, is this something you should say?"
[Okay, okay, don't get excited. I don't mean anything else. Please don't misunderstand...]
Cheng Ming and Wu Siyue started arguing.
The group consists of friends who were recruited with Xu Mo through campus recruitment, and most of them are currently working on projects in different places.
We all came to the company together from school, so our relationship is relatively pure. We will share information together and complain together when we encounter stupid customers and leaders.
Xu Mo had no intention of complaining at this moment. She never expected that her long-lost diligence would bring her such a disaster.
How did I get involved in such a project?
What a sin.
It’s okay to go traveling after a breakup, why come here to work?
She felt regretful in her heart, but she did not stop opening the meeting minutes template on her computer.
Manager Wu pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. "Let me introduce you to this project. It's about a group transformation project. The background of the project is that as Party A continues to expand, it's gradually facing the problem of rising management costs, and we need to come up with a solution. The person we're meeting today is the Vice President of Landa Group and the project contact person, Mr. Lin."
While listening, Xu Mo quickly opened the browser and searched Baidu for the list of executives of Land Group.
Being adequately prepared before meeting a client is an essential quality for a consultant.
Xu Mo saw two men named Lin on the list of executives.
A man named Lin Jie is the vice president of Landa Group, in charge of personnel and finance.
The other one is Lin Jingchuan, who is the vice president in charge of specific business in the South China and East China regions.
The person who came to discuss the project today is most likely the sales manager, Lin Jingchuan.
Xu Mo's gaze lingered on the name Lin Jingchuan for half a second longer, as she felt that she had some impression of this person.
Manager Wu glanced at her computer and reminded her calmly, "Mr. Lin graduated from Hua University. He's considered your senior and is still very young."
Several images flashed through Xu Mo's mind, and suddenly the impression of this name gradually became clearer.
Senior...
Before Xu Mo had time to think, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The man in a suit who came in first politely gestured for invitation.
Manager Wu stood up from his seat to greet her, and Xu Mo also stood up subconsciously.
Lin Jingchuan walked in from outside.
The man is tall, has long legs and broad shoulders, the kind of figure that can look good in a shirt and trousers.
His demeanor seemed calm and reassuring, reminiscent of some tall vegetation bathed in sunlight.
After Manager Wu greeted him, the man nodded politely. His eyes fell on Xu Mo's face beside Manager Wu for a moment, then retracted.
"Hello, I'm Lin Jingchuan."
