Chapter 1258 The Longest Road Is the Boss’s Routine
The reason why Leng Ning is known as the cold-faced Yama in the company is because as long as research and development is something she is determined to do, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done without negotiation.
In some ways, this is inherited from Wu Tao's strictness and persistence in products.
So after work, Leng Ning didn't have any real friends in the company. Only Deng Fang, the deputy, could occasionally say a few words.
Even if it's just a few words, Scorpion Baba is already the only one in the company.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Leng Ning and Deng Fang talked a lot, and it seemed that there were more differences in opinions.
Because in the eyes of everyone, the two people spend most of their time fighting each other.
Tit for tat, straight to the point.
So many people thought that the two were at odds or even trying to undermine each other.
Therefore, Leng Ning's appearance in front of Wu Tao to intercede for Deng Fang was definitely a move that surprised many people and even shocked them.
Leng Ning has even prepared a series of rhetoric for this as an explanation and defense to his boss.
However, Wu Tao's reaction was mediocre after hearing what she said.
The biggest reaction was to curl up his mouth, reach out his hand and say: "Continue talking."
This is clearly a "please continue your performance" mentality of watching the theater.
When Leng Ning saw this reaction, he could not keep his composure and continue speaking, so he didn't even bother to sit down and said eagerly: "Boss, I'm serious!"
Wu Tao clasped his hands together, but leaned back against the back of the chair, and said lazily: "Deng Fang came to complain to you?"
"That's not true." Leng Ning tucked the short hair behind his ears and said, "He left the R&D department in a hurry, but came back hesitantly. I saw something was wrong at first sight, so I caught him and questioned him for a long time. You told me."
Sure enough.
Wu Tao wiped the corners of his lips and asked slowly: "Then don't you think about it, why didn't I promote him?"
Leng Ning thought quickly, "Anyway, I know that the position of the new brand R&D director is still vacant. The reason why you didn't promote him, boss, is that firstly, his subjective initiative is not good enough, which kept you waiting for a long time; secondly, you were afraid that I also want to use this position to inspire him to work hard in the new brand division..."
"...Boss, you are indeed well-intentioned, but for the Lotus brand, once Deng Fang leaves, I will have to promote a deputy director. What will Deng Fang think then? The work pressure has increased several times, but the salary and position have not It’s still unknown, which will affect the work efficiency and enthusiasm of the new brand R&D team!”
Leng Ning's mouth was dry as he spoke in one breath, and he was racking his brains.
After all, she rarely talks so much outside of work.
I was so eloquent all of a sudden that I was really tired when I stopped.
So she just paused, trying to reorganize her thoughts, and continued to give her direct advice until her boss agreed to promote Deng Fang to the R&D director of the new brand division.
However, at this moment, Wu Tao nodded, as if suddenly relieved and said: "Okay, I accept your suggestion."
Emmmm..., Emmmm? ? ?
As the hope of the whole village, Leng Ning suddenly felt that his IQ of 148 was not enough.
Do you agree?
However, Wu Tao did not give her a chance to ask further questions. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and said as if seeing off guests: "Tell Deng Fang this decision. This is for your own sake. This is the last time you will make an exception for him."
"...Also, when the Lotus brand and the Honor brand both bloom and compete in the future, I hope you can all remember today's mutual sympathy."
This turn was a bit sharp, so Leng Ning went back and thought about it all the way.
When I stepped through the door of the R&D department, the curve in my mind finally turned around. Could it be that I was following the boss's tricks?
From the beginning, the boss planned to make Deng Fang the R&D director of the Honor brand, but through a twist of events, the favor fell into his hands.
Is it necessary to do this?
Leng Ning ignored the assistant secretary's greeting and went back to the office to sit down, turning his swivel chair and thinking quietly with his back to the door.
This is a habit she has developed over the years.
Obviously, the boss's first purpose of doing this was not only to allow Deng Fang to accept his favor, but also to balance his psychology.
After all, his former subordinates suddenly became on the same level as him, so there would inevitably be some fluctuations in mentality.
As for the second purpose, I think even further.
When the Honor brand takes off in the future, Deng Fang and himself will inevitably conflict and collide at a higher level. By then, because there will be no common goal between the two parties, they will be more likely to get angry.
The boss planted this seed today just to hammer the two of them. No matter how big the differences and confrontations are in the future, they must stick to the bottom line.
That's pretty much it.
After thinking about this, Leng Ning took a long breath, wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and touched the phone on the table: "Deng Fang, come here..."
In the CEO's office, Wu Tao sent Leng Ning away, and welcomed an unexpected guest - Pei Ying.
As her former company-level secretary, Pei Ying returned to the president's office and secretary's office as if she were returning to her parents' home.
Although she is now the manager of the strategic development department and is expected to be promoted to deputy director in the near future, she still went to the secretary's office to say hello thoughtfully without any official airs.
Wu Tao, the R&D director who had just taken charge of the old and new brands, was in a very good mood.
Seeing Pei Ying come in, she was relaxed and didn't take it seriously at all. She said like a normal person: "Why, you came here to pay my old boss a New Year's greeting?"
"Boss, look at what you said, I should have come to see you a long time ago." Pei Ying said in a well-founded manner: "It's just that there are a lot of international patents for Lotus new products to keep an eye on recently, so I have been away on business for a long time."
Wu Tao laughed, pointed to the seat and said, "Sit down, I believe whatever you say."
Pei Ying did not sit down directly. Instead, she took the initiative to get Wu Tao a cup of American coffee, and then brought herself a glass of water before returning to the table and sitting down.
After taking the coffee, Wu Tao raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems like something is really going on."
The two have worked together for so many years, and they still understand each other well.
"I definitely can't hide my thoughts from you, boss," Pei Ying stretched her neck with a smile, and said every word in a low but solemn voice, "Boss, I want to apply to the Honor Brand Division to do marketing, even if You can start from scratch.”
Wu Tao was startled, "I really didn't expect this idea of yours!" There was also a bit of sadness in his words, the kind of sadness that grows up because of the people around him.
Then he pulled out an appointment document from the pile of documents on hand, threw it in front of the other party and said: "If you don't have this idea, this appointment will take effect after the year."
It was an appointment letter for Pei Ying to be promoted to deputy director of the Strategic Development Department. Wu Tao had just signed it and had it stamped.
Pei Ying just glanced at it and said with half gratitude and half a smile: "Thank you boss for your affirmation of my work. That will give me more confidence to submit this application to the boss."
"Are you determined to practice marketing?" Wu Tao asked again.
Pei Ying did not answer, but nodded solemnly.
"Okay!" Wu Tao agreed immediately without any further persuasion, because the other party was one of his own and he understood it. Precisely because he is one of his own, it is even more impossible for him to ask others to start from scratch. "Let's do this. I'll appoint a deputy manager..."
