Driving the internet café owner's SUV, following the mobile navigation software's plan, he arrived in Xicheng District.
Although his left arm was injured, the journey was quite smooth, and there were no traffic police in the early morning.
The boss was more than ten years older than Xiao Xun, but he still called the boss "brother," just like the internet café attendant.
"Brother, what kind of work do you do in the financial center?"
The internet café owner yawned, "What can a small internet café owner like me do? I'm also working for someone else, managing a few people, and thinking of earning some pocket money by opening an internet café. I didn't expect the internet café business to be so sluggish nowadays."
After speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Xun, "What about you? There are so many companies in the financial center. Which company are you from? Tell me, perhaps we are colleagues."
Xiao Xun suddenly stepped on the brake, and it happened to be a red light, "The unit I work for is a small company, not worth mentioning."
"You're being too humble, too humble is looking down on me. How can there be a small company in the financial center? Aren't they all listed companies with a market value of billions?"
Hearing the internet café owner say this, Xiao Xun felt it would be wrong to be overly modest, "Saint Roman."
Upon hearing these four words, the internet café owner showed a smile, "It's a good company. By the way, have you heard that Mr. Wang of Saint Roman recently hired a young man as a director? It's been all over the place since yesterday."
Xiao Xun didn't know how the internet café owner found out, but thinking that every company has commercial spies, and this was not a secret, he didn't think much of it.
He nodded, "I heard."
The internet café owner said dismissively, "I also heard that this directorship was bought by this young man for a sky-high price of thirty million. As soon as he arrived, he completely replaced the leaders of their department. Their company directly suspended Wang Sucheng. Is that true?"
Xiao Xun quickly said, "Brother, you must be believing rumors. For a director, a senior executive, the general manager would definitely choose someone from the company even if he were selling, why would he give it to a young person for no reason? No matter how you think about it, this matter doesn't seem reliable."
The internet café owner nodded, "That's true, unless Wang Sucheng really has Alzheimer's disease prematurely, otherwise no normal person would do such a thing."
The car entered the financial center's street, and Xiao Xun parked the car in an expensive public parking lot as per the internet café owner's request, and took his luggage from the trunk.
After bidding farewell to the internet café owner, he quickly walked to the Saint Roman building, which was quite close to the parking lot, less than a ten-minute walk.
Passing by the reception, the two young ladies from yesterday had been replaced, but the security guard was still the same uncle from yesterday.
Before Xiao Xun could speak, he spoke first, "Young man, you're here again today, looking for the general manager?"
"No, I'm here to start working."
The security guard picked up his ID badge from his neck, "You have to have an ID badge to work. Look, we security guards all have ID badges."
"I just came yesterday and haven't started yet. Please let me in first!"
The security guard waved his hand, "That won't do. If I let someone in without authorization, I'll have to take off my clothes and leave. Don't make it difficult for me, uncle. It's not easy for uncle to find such a job."
Xiao Xun stood awkwardly at the entrance of the turnstile. He looked around, but there was no one he knew.
He was in a hurry, mainly because he was afraid that the cafeteria's breakfast would be gone.
Just then, a familiar figure arrived, it was Lei Wenxiu.
Xiao Xun thought: Great, now both problems are solved.
Unexpectedly, Lei Wenxiu acted as if she hadn't seen Xiao Xun and rushed through another turnstile.
"Lei Wenxiu, come here."
After Xiao Xun shouted, his face turned red. Undoubtedly, all eyes turned towards him again.
Lei Wenxiu heard someone calling her and glanced at the turnstile. Their eyes met, and she quickly ran over and said to the security guard, "This is my leader. Please be merciful and let him in!"
Xiao Xun was almost so angry that his nose crooked. What did she mean by "be merciful"? Is being your leader that tragic? However, looking at Lei Wenxiu's appearance, she did look quite pitiful.
The security guard looked surprised, "You really work here! How did you become a leader today after just arriving yesterday?" Then he seemed to realize, perhaps he had heard some gossip.
Xiao Xun looked anxious, "Can I explain it to you later? First, help me open the turnstile, I'm in a hurry!"
Knowing that this was someone not to be trifled with, the security guard quickly swiped his ID badge to open the turnstile. Xiao Xun dragged his luggage and ran inside, also taking Lei Wenxiu's ID badge.
"Director, where are you taking my ID badge while dragging your luggage?"
Xiao Xun looked down and remembered that he was still holding a suitcase.
He stopped and handed the suitcase and his backpack to the rushing Lei Wenxiu, "Put them in the office for me."
Then he turned and sprinted to the cafeteria at a hundred-meter pace. Supporting his injured arm, he took a tray and grabbed a pile of things: egg tarts, bread, milk.
By the time Lei Wenxiu appeared before Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun was almost finished eating.
"Director, why are you still eating here? In ten minutes, there will be a video conference for the entire district."
Xiao Xun almost choked. He took a sip of milk and patted his chest, "No one informed me!"
Lei Wenxiu had a 'starry-eyed' look, "Aren't I telling you now!"
Xiao Xun was almost suffocated by Lei Wenxiu, "There are only ten minutes left, and you're only telling me now? Please, can you tell me earlier next time? Oh, and don't call me 'Director' anymore, the Qing Dynasty fell many years ago."
After eating, he returned Lei Wenxiu's ID badge and turned to take the elevator back to the office.
Along the way, many people from the technical department bowed to him and said, "Good morning, Director Xiao!"
Logging into his account and opening the video conferencing software, he was pulled into the room by the host.
It was just a weekly regular meeting, discussing policy issues and recent company problems. Most people had their cameras on but their audio and microphones off, doing other things.
Wang Sucheng's matter was not mentioned in the meeting; it was likely being secretly investigated and handled behind closed doors.
After the headquarters' regular meeting, the morning meeting was canceled because the general manager was absent.
Each department began to hold its internal meetings and upload the meeting content to the company's internal network.
Xiao Xun disliked entering the company because of the hassle. Having to record a video every day to put on a show, he didn't know what the purpose was. Did they think they were justifying their salaries?
After finally finishing these tasks, the department manager of the technical department came to find him. Besides technical issues and strategic policy matters, the remaining issues were about the candidates for team leader.
After dealing with these matters, it was almost noon. Before he could even think about what to eat for lunch, the director of the product development department came to find him.
Xiao Xun felt his head spinning. He hadn't even had a sip of water all morning. Some very idiotic questions required his attention, and for some routine operations, they needed his signature before they dared to proceed.
He finally understood why Zhang Youwei always asked Lei Wenxiu to bring him meals, because he truly didn't have time.
However, at noon, Lei Wenxiu brought Xiao Xun's ID badge over, saying it was from the human resources department.
Xiao Xun hung the ID badge around his neck and looked at the "innocent and harmless sweet girl" with a smile. She insisted on going to the cafeteria to eat herself.
Because he was afraid that the food brought back by this assistant might not be edible.
