334 Workplace
On the other end of the line, Chu Zhe still had a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with after he turned off the phone screen.
Chu Zhe was very capable, and it just so happened that the position as the branch manager was vacant, and there were very few people who could compete with him.
“Future manager Chu, who were you on the phone with just now? This is the first time I’ve seen you smile so happily.” The door to Chu Zhe’s office was pushed open gently. A tall and beautiful woman in high heels and professional attire walked in with a smile.
She was carrying a thick folder in her arms, seemingly for Chu Zhe to resolve.
“My sister. Did President Liu send these documents over?” Chu Zhe said with a smile.
“Yes, President Liu’s secretary secretly told me that President Liu often praises you in private. He says that you have a clear mind, are efficient, and can always lead the team to make the right decisions,” the stunner said somewhat jealously as she put down the documents.
“It seems that the position of branch manager will be yours,” the stunner continued.
“I’m still not capable enough. I think Shi Jun is more suitable than me. He has been working in the company for five or six years. Compared to him, whether it’s qualifications or contributions to the company, I’m far worse,” Chu Zhe said solemnly as he shook his head.
“Alright, there’s only the two of us here. Let’s get straight to the point. There are 50 to 60 people in our department, and more than half of them are supporting you. Promotions aren’t based on experience or who has been in the company for longer. If it’s really as you said, the cleaning lady downstairs has been working for a long time, almost 20 years. Would everyone agree on her being the branch manager? If you ask me, you should take the initiative and be stronger. Everyone will support you, so what are you afraid of?” the stunner said indifferently.
She was firmly on Chu Zhe’s side. Anyway, it was no longer a secret in this company that she liked Chu Zhe. It was just that Chu Zhe, the person in question, remained unmoved even after she had made it clear to him many times.
“We’ll see.” Chu Zhe didn’t have much of a reaction. After saying this, he calmly opened the folder and began to read.
“Sigh, you’re too nice. You always think of others. I’ll be leaving first, then?” the stunner sighed as she spoke with a helpless tone.
“Okay. Close the door behind you,” Chu Zhe said without raising his head as he looked at the documents.
“Wow, can’t you just look up at me? Am I that ugly? Or is great manager Chu going to live with a pile of soulless documents for the rest of his life?” The stunner pouted. She had seen it clearly through the glass outside the office. When Chu Zhe answered the phone, the corners of his mouth had been raised.
“Beauty queen Gu Xin, is there anything else?” Chu Zhe had no choice but to look up at the beautiful woman in front of him, smiling.
“Of course. It’s necessary for you to go for the team-building event tonight,” the stunner continued, giving Chu Zhe a profound look.
“My sister is looking for me tonight, so I can’t make it.” Chu Zhe directly rejected her.
He rarely rejected others, but when it came to Chu Ning, it was a must to do so.
“Er… Why don’t you bring your sister along? The key is that Shi Jun will also be there. If you’re not around, who knows if he will take the opportunity to win everyone over?” the stunner said anxiously.
“We’ll see.” Chu Zhe still wanted to spend time with Chu Ning that night.
“I’m begging you, please talk to your sister. This concerns your future, so put in more effort. If your sister isn’t happy, just pretend I didn’t say anything,” the stunner continued.
“Okay, I got it. Beauty queen Gu Xin, I have to get busy now.” Chu Zhe spread his hands helplessly. This Gu Xin always took the opportunity to stay in his office when she was delivering documents to him.
“Hmph, you’re chasing me away just like that, heartless man.” Gu Xin snorted and turned to leave Chu Zhe’s office.
After a while, Chu Zhe stopped looking at the documents.
His fingers were gently rubbing his chin as he thought about what Gu Xin had said at the beginning and the meaning behind what President Liu had said.
The final decision on who would be the branch manager would require President Liu’s approval.
However, Chu Zhe’s hunch was that President Liu was more inclined to let Shi Jun be the branch manager.
President Liu’s feelings were real, and it was also true that he admired him very much.
However, the crux of the problem was that Chu Zhe was too outstanding. His brilliance had directly overshadowed Shi Jun’s. This was not a good thing. President Liu understood very well that a stellar person like Chu Zhe could not possibly continue to work for others.
