Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Song Nan took his coffee, pointed to a set of cups next to him, and asked Tang Wei, "Would you like a cup?"

Tang Wei shook her head like a rattle.

What if she drank his coffee made from expensive coffee beans, and "Song Pa Pi" deducted money from her salary the next second?

"Please sit down." Song Nan sat down.

The wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the bamboo outside the window was swaying back and forth.

Tang Wei sat down trembling with fear.

"Don't worry, the glass in my office is of very good quality. I also had security check the factory area, and everything that needed reinforcement has been done."

The weather outside the window has changed.

But his office was as warm as spring.

Tang Wei suddenly thought of a question: "What are you going to do for lunch? Is anyone working in the restaurant today? I guess the takeout has stopped too."

"Why aren't you worried that you won't have lunch? Do you have instant noodles?" Song Nan took a sip of coffee and raised his eyelids to look at her.

Tang Wei was deeply moved by Song Nan's words.

Could it be that Song Nan had caught a glimpse of the instant noodles in her drawer?

She emphasized: "Yes, but only one box!"

"Yeah." Song Nan nodded. "One box is enough. I don't eat much, actually."

Tang Wei: ???

Suddenly, Song Nan laughed out loud.

"Is a box of instant noodles going to make you frown? Even if the chef doesn't go to work, won't there be food to fill my stomach in my office? Tracy, you are the first secretary I have ever met who can't tell the difference between a joke and a joke." He said with a smile.

Tang Wei felt that Song Nan was acting crazy again.

She simply didn't want to pay attention to the sarcastic remarks.

Just look down at your hands.

Song Nan thought she was nervous, so he softened his tone. "There's not much going on today, so let's just chat casually. Don't be nervous. You've been in Haiyue for so long, but do you feel like I've never taken you seriously? I've either sent you to sort through documents or to sweep up fallen leaves?"

Tang Wei thought: Wow, you still remember what you did?

She nodded obediently, not wanting to comment.

"The company you previously worked for was actually the size of a branch of Haiyue, so your job content was relatively simple. I can't blame you for that, because the job content and scope of each assistant's work are different.

It’s just… I don’t know if anyone has mentioned that your voice is too soft and thin when speaking to colleagues in the business department?”

Um...someone actually said this.

But not after work, but at school.

When she was in middle school, there were a few naughty boys who always imitated her speech and made her angry.

My college roommate also said that she spoke in the typical Wu dialect.

Song Nan asked with a smile: "Look at Ms. Zhou from the marketing department. Doesn't she have a loud voice and a strong aura?"

Tracy, of course I also hope that you can become a strong woman like Ms. Zhou, but your current abilities are lacking.

Zou Zhi is a master's student who studied in Germany, Zhu Zhu used to work in XMZ, and Fang Yin is a master's student in the FD Journalism Department. In fact, several colleagues in the secretarial team are well-qualified.

During your interview, I did suggest that after your probation period, I might consider you becoming the leader of the secretarial team, but... now I feel that you might not be capable enough. Is there anything you want to discuss with me about this?"

Tang Wei felt that Song Nan was just like the time when her homeroom teacher talked to her in school.

There is nothing much to say about this matter, and people like Zou Zhi are not easy to manage at all.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a leader or not.

So Tang Wei shook her head.

"As for PhDs and researchers, we have quite a few in our technical research institute. Although we are a private enterprise, our group is also quite large and is a diversified, multi-industry large company.

BYD is a private company, as are many major internet companies. Even the M Group in the United States was a private company over a hundred years ago, right?

I think you chose to change jobs because you have your own ideas and pursuits. You are not attracted by the corporate nature of Haiyue, nor by whether I am a nice boss.

We have done research on the salaries of GM Assistants in foreign companies, and it's just about that.

Unless you get a promotion or change positions, your salary is unlikely to increase significantly.

Furthermore, it is difficult to get promoted in foreign companies. The career path is narrow and the competition is fierce.

Sheng Yang once told me that if you want to get promoted in a foreign company, the most important thing is to find a boss who is willing to give you opportunities. Do you agree?

Tang Wei felt that Song Nan, who spoke normally, looked like a pyramid scheme leader.

He speaks very coherently.

She nodded unconsciously.

"And now you're following Haiyue's biggest boss. Thirty percent of the people in this group have never met me in person, and fifty percent may only see me once a year. But you see me every day. You actually have a great chance."

Tang Wei thought,

The boss also needs to give you opportunities.

And my chance is to do hard labor for you?

Put away umbrellas, move peaches, take care of the garbage in the living area? Sweep the streets?

At this time, Song Nan said again: "Actually, whether it's dealing with fallen leaves, guarding the gifts outside the box on Friday night, or sorting garbage in the staff dormitory, I find that you have done a good job.

If an employee can 'hit wherever directed', he is qualified.

In terms of timeliness and results, you complete your work to a high degree.

I won't be careless just because it's a small matter. In this respect, both Zou Zhi and Fang Yin are lacking compared to you."

Tang Wei was very surprised.

It turns out that "Song Gou" is also very clear.

Oh too.

At least he has thousands of men under his command, so Song Gou should still have some ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

"That's because you, Mr. Song, gave me the opportunity." Tang Wei replied politely.

"So, you spent a few days in the secretariat last week sorting out documents. Do you have any thoughts or ideas?" Song Nan asked.

Since he asked, Tang Wei decided to share her thoughts.

"Mr. Song, first of all... I've noticed that your assistant/secretary positions have a high turnover rate. Judging from past records, very few assistants last a full year."

After saying that, Tang Wei glanced at Song Nan.

Song Nan didn't expect her to talk about this.

But he still said calmly: "It's okay, just continue."

"Secondly, no one has yet compiled a flowchart for secretary duties. At my previous company, many positions had flowcharts. We can translate these into standardized work content, so new employees can quickly adapt to their jobs based on this guide, rather than being greeted with fragmented information like I was when I first arrived at Haiyue."

Song Nan nodded. "Well, that's right. Then why do you think there's such a high turnover rate in my secretary position?"

Tang Wei said frankly, "On the one hand, your secretaries and assistants are actually transitional positions. Some of them have been transferred to other departments as leaders after a period of time. This shows that you are good at using people and are willing to give young people opportunities.

On the other hand, quite a few assistants have resigned, which I think has a lot to do with your own distinct personality and style, as well as your high standards."

Tang Wei put it mildly, describing Song Nan as "moody, nitpicking, and erratic."

Song Nan picked up the coffee cup thoughtfully: "Tracy, just like you said, I'm hard to please.

I need a subordinate who can work well with me. So, I usually put this kind of test in the front, which saves both of us time. "

Oh, it turns out that Song Gou still has self-awareness.

But what did he mean by these words?

Song Nan put down the cup and said with a smile, "Although your ability model is somewhat different from what I expected, I still recognize you as a person.

Please note - what is recognized is not the ability, but the character.

In view of your situation, I intend to place you in the position of administrative secretary for the time being.

After your probation period ends next month, your salary will increase by 20%.

Everything else remains unchanged for now, it is still the fourteenth salary, and the bonus will fluctuate based on performance.

Starting tomorrow, I will adjust the work content and workstations of the four of you.

After the new factory supporting Yixing is built, you will be assigned to handle some projects related to the new factory.

what do you think? "
