The programmer and his woman

The HR manager looked at Xiaoyan, a glimmer of trust flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Xiaoyan, I have always trusted you. After all, we joined the company together and we know each other well. Today, I have something to talk to you alone."

Xiao Yan nodded and said firmly, "Manager, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I am absolutely loyal to you."

The HR manager took a deep breath and said, "You know that before we came to this company, the HR department was always in charge of the original supervisor, right?"

"Of course I know, but I heard that she didn't study human resources management, and the work in the human resources department was relatively easy before. But now it's different. The human resources department has become particularly important after the company's transformation." Xiaoyan replied.

"You're right." The HR manager continued, "Most of the old employees in the company's management team were fired during this transition, but considering her previous contributions and experience, she was not fired directly. However, she now often interferes with the work of our department, as if she is still the supervisor of the entire company. She even wants me to report everything to her, which is very troublesome to me."

He paused, his tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and determination: "I am going to take measures to change this situation. I want to remove her from her current position, but I need your help. If we succeed, this HR department will be ours from now on."

I was shocked when I heard this. I didn't expect the HR manager to have such thoughts. This guy usually looks kind, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

The HR manager continued, "The company is now in a period of transformation and needs to recruit a large number of new employees. Although the original supervisor has some experience in recruitment, her management style is outdated and it is obvious that she has not received formal and systematic training. That is why the boss recruited professionals like us into the company this time."

He paused and added, "In fact, the boss also means the same thing. He hopes that the current HR department can operate independently. But the original supervisor seems to have not adapted to this change and often interferes with my work. The boss is also a little dissatisfied with this situation, but out of respect for her, he did not express his opinion directly."

"So, we need to take action and put some pressure on them." The HR manager looked at Xiaoyan, with a hint of determination in his eyes. "Xiaoyan, there are only two of us in this department right now. From now on, you can report directly to me about the work of the HR department, and ignore her."

Xiaoyan nodded to show that she understood: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Also," the HR manager handed Xiaoyan another pile of documents, "give these to her for review and signature. Oh, and, doesn't she really like to be involved in recruiting?" The HR manager took out another stack of resumes from the drawer and handed it to Xiaoyan, "Let her participate this time. Remember, don't say that I asked you to give them to her. You just pretend to be hers and that you compiled these resumes for her."

Xiaoyan took the document and sneered in her heart: "It seems that this manager is really going to take action." But she remained calm on the surface and replied: "Okay, boss. I'll do it right away."

I saw this colleague named Xiaoyan staying in the former supervisor's office for a long time before coming out. When she came out, her brows were furrowed, as if something was on her mind.

After walking around the company, she returned to the desk of the head of the human resources department, took a deep breath, and prepared to start reporting.

"How is it, Xiaoyan, has she signed those documents?" The head of the HR department looked up and asked.

Xiaoyan shook her head slightly and replied, "Not yet. She said to leave it with her first and she will take a look at it when she has time." There was a hint of helplessness in Xiaoyan's words.

The head of the HR department nodded and said nothing more. But Xiaoyan continued, "But she looked at the list of applicants and asked me to contact a job seeker for an interview."

The head of the HR department's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Is it the one named Shi Qian?" He seemed to have expected this.

"Yes, how did you know?" Xiaoyan was a little surprised.

The head of the HR department smiled and explained, "I've looked through all the names. This guy called Shi Qian is the best among all of them, judging by his resume. He has extensive work experience and graduated from a prestigious university. There's no reason for her not to choose him."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan showed a puzzled expression on her face: "Oh, then I don't understand, why don't we recruit such an excellent person and let her do it?"

The head of the HR department sighed and slowly told a story from the past: "What a coincidence, when this person was working in HR at another company, I happened to be there too, and I know a little about him. He is indeed capable, but he also has some unknown shortcomings. Xiaoyan, remember, if she wants to interview this person, don't stop her, just let her hire him."

One morning a few days later, the original supervisor really hired Shi Qian. Before hiring this person, the two supervisors had a fierce dispute in the boss's office.

The former supervisor said firmly: "Manager Wang, this applicant has good qualifications in all aspects. I have interviewed him personally and there is no problem. His technical assessment results are also very good. I don't understand why you don't agree to let this job seeker join our company? Are you targeting me or this job seeker?"

The HR manager also answered without showing any weakness: "I am not targeting anyone. I am considering the company. I have been working in HR for many years and I have a very keen intuition about talent. I just feel that this person should not be hired."

The former supervisor continued to ask, "Then you have to give me a reasonable reason why you can't hire me."

The HR manager took a deep breath and said slowly, "The boss invited me here because he saw my professional ability. I have been working in HR for many years, and my experience tells me that this person cannot be hired. You are not in our profession, and there are some things I can tell you that you will not understand."

After hearing this, the former supervisor's face darkened: "You always use this excuse to brush me off. If you can't come up with a suitable reason, I will definitely hire this job applicant into the company."

The HR manager looked at the former manager's determined eyes and knew that avoiding the question any further was not a solution, so she took a deep breath and began to explain: "Well, I'll give you a reason. You just looked at his personal situation. Yes, I admit that his personal situation is excellent. But have you ever thought about why such an excellent person always changes companies every one or two months?"

After hearing this, the former supervisor frowned and said, "It's normal to go to where there is good development. I also asked him about this matter. He felt that those companies affected his future development."

The HR manager shook his head and said, "This is not speculation, but the experience we have accumulated in HR work. You are not in our business, so you don't understand."

The boss listened to the two executives' argument. He was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. Do you both think that this job applicant has no problem with his personal ability?"

Both supervisors nodded. The boss made a decision after seeing this: "Since you all recognize his ability, let him try first. But the HR department should pay close attention to his performance. If any problems are found, he should be fired during the probation period. There is no need to argue with each other. You are giving me a headache. I know you are all for the company, but please don't hurt the friendship between colleagues because of a job applicant."

"Boss, you hired me because of my ability to work in personnel. This person, Shi Qian, really cannot be hired." Manager Wang said firmly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination, "I suggest that the company only keep one human resources supervisor, which can not only avoid management chaos, but also ensure that the company's personnel decisions are more professional and efficient. Otherwise, you will spend money to hire me, but the money will be wasted. Please consider it seriously."

After hearing this, the former supervisor's face darkened and his voice became louder: "Humph, Manager Wang, I think you are targeting me. This statement couldn't be made clearer. The boss asked me to manage the human resources department, but you refused. I asked him to recruit someone, but you said no, and you couldn't even give a valid reason."

The boss became more and more annoyed as he listened to the two people's argument. He slapped the table and interrupted the conversation: "Okay, stop arguing! It's so annoying! Listen to me, hire them first, and then fire them if they don't work out. That's it, both of you can get out."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, the former supervisor and Manager Wang fell silent. They knew that the boss's decision could not be changed. Although they were dissatisfied, they could only accept this fact.

The next day, Shi Qian arrived at the company as scheduled to start work. However, surprisingly, Manager Wang, the head of the human resources department, did not come to work, and this news caused a lot of discussion within the company.

At this time, the former supervisor called Xiaoyan to the office. She looked at Xiaoyan with a serious and warning tone: "Xiaoyan, you have been running to Manager Wang's room recently. Don't think I don't know. But did you see it? Now you know who has the final say here? When working in the company, you have to be more careful and be careful not to stand on the wrong side. Don't lose your job without knowing how you did it."

While the former supervisor was still trying to persuade Xiao Yan in the office, a woman outside the company suddenly rushed into the company anxiously. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the front desk and asked anxiously: "Is there an employee named Shi Qian in your company?"

The receptionist looked at the woman's anxious face and politely responded, "Hello, ma'am, what can I do for you?"

The woman repeated anxiously, "Tell me quickly, is there an employee named Shi Qian in your company?"

The receptionist was a little confused, but tried to remain calm: "Ah? Then please wait a moment, I'll ask for you." After that, she picked up the phone and dialed the internal line of the Human Resources Department.

"Hello, supervisor. I want to ask if there is a person named Shi Qian in our company? Just now, a man came to the door and said he was looking for him. He looked very anxious!"

After hearing this, the former supervisor frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well... yes, Shi Qian just joined the company today."

The receptionist quickly replied, "As soon as this lady came in, she asked me if Shi Qian was there. It seemed like something had happened at home and she was very anxious."

"Is that so..." The former supervisor muttered thoughtfully, and then said to the receptionist: "Well, go and ask the lady what the emergency is. If it's just a family matter, you can just call Shi Qian out and let them handle it outside the company. After all, this is an office space, not suitable for handling private affairs."

As soon as the voice fell, the former supervisor hung up the phone without hesitation. The receptionist did not dare to neglect it, and immediately turned to the waiting lady and conveyed the former supervisor's words to her.

After hearing this, the lady's eyes flashed with surprise: "That's it, great, I finally found it, I'll call the police right away."

The receptionist yelled in surprise: "Ah! Ma'am, why do you need to call the police? What happened?"

The lady nervously picked up her phone and called the police: "Hello, I'm calling the police, my location is..."

The receptionist interrupted her hastily: "Wait a minute, ma'am. If you have any family conflicts with Shi Qian, how about this, ma'am? I'll call Shi Qian out, and you two can go out and find another place to solve it. Is that okay?"

The lady refused firmly, "Don't call him, don't notify him, little girl, close the door, I have notified the police, don't let him run away now, I will take him away as soon as I catch him, it won't affect you for too long."

The receptionist looked embarrassed: "Ah! I'll go back and tell our supervisor."

The lady stopped him firmly, “No, don’t move, don’t go anywhere, let’s just wait here for the police to come.”

The receptionist had no choice but to stand there and wait for the police to arrive. At the same time, she curiously asked the lady, "What happened at home?"

The lady shook her head. "It's not a family matter. Let me tell you, Shi Qian was an employee of our company before, but he disappeared not long after he started working there. He also stole our company's technical data and laptops. I was looking for news about him everywhere, and hard work really paid off. Today, I don't know which kindhearted person told me his whereabouts. God is really watching over me!"

While the lady was sighing, two policemen arrived at the company. As soon as they entered the door, they asked, "Who called the police?"

The lady pointed at herself excitedly and said, "It's me, police officer. I'm in this company. It's me who stole our company's computers and data."

She turned to the receptionist and said, "Young lady, please lead these two policemen to catch the man named Shi Qian."

The receptionist led the police to the technical department, but on the way they ran into the boss and the former supervisor, who were discussing something. The boss also saw the arrival of the receptionist and the two policemen walking straight into the company, and asked in surprise: "Hey, why did you bring two policemen into our company?"

The receptionist nervously replied, "Um... Boss, we might be in trouble."

The boss frowned: "Ah, don't talk nonsense, what's wrong?"

At this time, a policeman came forward and asked: "Are you the boss of this company?"

The boss nodded: "Yes, I wonder what you two can do for me?"

The police explained: "It's like this. Someone just reported that an employee in your company had committed theft before. We came here to take the person away for investigation."

The boss was surprised and asked: "Ah, no way, which employee are you looking for?"

Another policeman answered: "A man named Shi Qian."

After hearing this, the boss's face changed and he looked at the original supervisor with an inquiring look. The original supervisor was so nervous that his face turned pale and he stammered, "Comrade police, did you make a mistake?"

The policeman said seriously: "We need to take him back to understand the situation before we can draw a conclusion. So please call out the man named Shi Qian."

The boss turned to look at the former supervisor: "Isn't this Shi Qian the job seeker that you and Manager Wang argued with in my office that day?"

The former supervisor nodded. The boss was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the former supervisor and said, "It's all your fault. Manager Wang tried every means to stop him by saying that this person was not good enough, but you insisted on hiring him. Now, you even called the police. Alas, it seems that you are really not suitable for the job of the human resources department."

The former supervisor wanted to defend himself, but the boss had lost his patience: "Stop talking. The company still has some work to do on its original business. You should just stay in charge of the original business and don't get involved in other things."

The boss then remembered Manager Wang: "Oh, by the way, where is Manager Wang? Xiaoyan, why don't I see your manager?"

Xiaoyan replied: "Manager Wang is sick and has asked for leave today."

The boss sighed and muttered, "Oh, this is all my fault. I paid a lot of money to hire someone to help me manage the HR department, but in the end, he didn't listen to me." He shook his head in grief, raised his head and continued to say to Xiaoyan, "Manager Wang, I will take care of this. Xiaoyan, remember, from now on, Manager Wang will have the final say in your HR department. He is now the director of your HR department."
