Chapter 111 We Are One
After almost everyone had arrived, Tang Xiaoru simply held a meeting for everyone.
It mainly talks about two things.
1. The layoff list of the design department has been released and will be sent directly to the laid-off employees after get off work in the evening.
Second, the design department is really going to have a deputy director, who is the chairman’s nephew, named Qi Long. However, he has not taken office yet and will have to wait until next month.
After Tang Xiaoru finished talking about these two things, she clapped her hands and let everyone go about their own business.
As soon as she left, the employees began to whisper to each other.
Gao Qiang whispered to Chen Qingrong, "Old Chen, isn't the director a little too cruel? He didn't just say who he wants to lay off right away, but had to wait until after get off work to talk privately. If I were the one being laid off, I'd be so upset."
Chen Qingrong tried to save face, "Maybe the director feels that announcing the working hours will affect everyone's work efficiency."
"So, the management will never be able to empathize with us small employees." Gao Qiang shook his head and sighed.
Chen Qingrong smacked his lips.
When I looked up at this time, I found that Xiaoyuan looked very anxious.
He called out softly, "Xiao Yuan, are you worried that you'll be laid off?"
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly, "Yeah, since last month, my performance has not been very good. I, my ability to do things is not that good either. I always feel that I will be laid off."
Chen Qingrong comforted her, "You don't have to be so nervous. You have survived the three-month probation period. At least it proves that you are still capable. Keep calm and don't be too anxious."
Xiao Yuan smiled helplessly, "I'm not as capable as you, Brother Chen. Brother Chen, you must not be nervous."
"Who said I'm not nervous? I don't have any inside information. Maybe I'll be the one to be laid off."
"Definitely not." Xiao Yuan shook her head firmly, "Brother Chen, you are the director's favorite. The director will never fire you no matter who he is."
Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "When did I become the director's favorite? Your words make me feel like I've become the eunuch beside the empress dowager."
……
When it was time for lunch, Tang Xiaoru talked to him on WeChat and asked him to wait for her in the parking lot. She wanted to have lunch with him and she had something to tell him.
Chen Qingrong said it was a good idea.
As a result, when Gao Qiang and Xiao Yuan called him to eat, he made the excuse that he was not ready yet and asked them to go first.
Then he found an opportunity to go to the underground parking lot, waited for a while next to the director's car, and saw the director coming.
"Director."
"Get in the car first." Tang Xiaoru's expression was a little cold.
Chen Qingrong didn't ask any more questions, opened the passenger door and sat in.
After the car started, he asked tentatively, "Director, will I be laid off?"
Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "The layoff list was drawn up by HD, and you are not on it."
Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are Gao Qiang and Xiao Yuan there?"
Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and said, "Can I just show you the layoff list?"
Chen Qingrong quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, I'm not qualified to read such confidential information. I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Don't be angry."
Tang Xiaoru suddenly took a deep breath and said, "I'm not angry at you, but at the deputy director who didn't come."
"Are you talking about the one who got in through the backdoor?" Chen Qingrong hesitated and said tentatively, "Actually, I don't quite understand. Since I joined the company, you have been the only director in the design department. Why did they suddenly insert a deputy director?"
"Even if he is the chairman's nephew, he wouldn't be able to get into our design department, right?" Tang Xiaoru said calmly, "The information I got is that he came back from a prestigious university abroad, and our company is his first stop after returning to China."
"He's a returnee." Chen Qingrong smacked his lips. "Have you met him?"
Tang Xiaoru just said that she was angry at the deputy director whom she had never met. So based on this reasoning, she should have met him before?
Tang Xiaoru shook her head and said meaningfully, "I haven't met him yet. What makes me unhappy is that the chairman did this. He doesn't take me seriously at all."
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe the chairman wants to get rid of me. In fact, he has been unhappy with me for a long time." Tang Xiaoru suddenly revealed a shocking piece of news.
Chen Qingrong was a little bit unbelievable, "How is this possible? Director, your work ability is obvious to all. Is the chairman crazy enough to get rid of you?"
Tang Xiaoru looked at him deeply and said, "Think carefully before you speak. If I have ulterior motives, and this gets to the chairman, you're screwed."
Chen Qingrong smiled, "I dare to say this because I know you won't tell me. We are family, and I am very relaxed in front of you."
“Are we our own people?”
"Yeah." Chen Qingrong blinked, "Don't you think so?"
Tang Xiaoru looked at him, then avoided his sight.
own people...
It's quite an intimate name.
She changed the subject, "You can't stay in the company forever just because you have good work ability. There are too many things involved. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Chen Qingrong said, "I don't understand, but I still say the same thing. If you quit, remember to take me with you when you find another job. If I follow you, I will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life."
Tang Xiaoru was angry and amused, "Do you have any ambition? What's the difference between what you are doing and asking me to support you? Don't you have any ambitions?"
Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, "I did when I was young, but now I'm a little older, I just want to live a good life."
"You are not a middle-aged man in your forties or fifties, so you should have some fighting spirit."
"No, if I can just live a life of luxury, why should I work so hard? Shouldn't I learn from the older generation and endure hardships?"
"..."
Chen Qingrong is so shameless that even an eloquent person like Tang Xiaoru became autistic and didn't want to talk to him after hearing his remarks.
Not long after, the two found a small restaurant to eat.
Chen Qingrong told her, "I'm going to look for Sun Cheng after dinner and go with him to see the office building he wants to buy."
Tang Xiaoru hummed, "This is official business, go and do your thing, you don't need to report to me."
"Okay." Chen Qingrong nodded, took a bite of the food, and thought of something else, "Speaking of which, there is an interesting thing. Gao Qiang told me the day before yesterday that he met your best friend, and he is also a fan of your best friend."
Tang Xiaoru was happy, "What's so fun about this? Bingbing has so many fans, and they are all otakus like you."
"Don't wrap me up in it, I'm not her fan." Chen Qingrong shook his head.
"Which star are you a fan of?"
"I don't chase stars. Chasing stars is boring."
"Don't let Bingbing hear this, otherwise she will scold you to death." Tang Xiaoru smacked her lips.
At this time, her cell phone rang, and she took it out and answered it, "Hello, Mommy, huh? Qingrong and I are having dinner together outside, huh? What? Really?"
