C273 Should I Take It or Not
"How many times have I told you to stabilize yourself? You're going to be in that circle soon. You can't even remember this." A trace of displeasure flashed across Lin Xuemei's face.
"Isn't this your move? We have to hurry over!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "What do you want me to tell you?"
"The new vice president, Zhou Xin, will probably be in charge of the whole situation after I leave. At that time, you have to build a good relationship with him. The people who came down from above usually have higher standards. After all, he often stays by the boss's side. You have to follow his lead and find a way to tolerate him. As long as you accept his shortcomings, then you can use it for yourself. "Lin Xuemei suddenly felt that she had become a mother and a mother. However, thinking about the difficulties Qin Feng would face in the future, But he had to give a few words of advice.
"Don't worry Sister Lin, I will definitely build a good relationship with him." Qin Feng knew the principle of being able to become an official overnight. Qin Feng felt that he was ready to take down this new Zhou Xin at any time.
Zhou Xin, man. People of the nation, Party members. He used to be a follower of one of the bosses. It wasn't him who took the initiative, it was his boss who had followed him for many years. In addition, the boss felt that he was going to retire soon, so he brought him here. To be honest, Zhou Xin didn't want to come to a place like this. He was more willing to stay there. He felt like he was being let down. However, he also knew that there was more space down there than up there. So, he finally accepted the fact. However, after arriving, he was also full of complaints. This Lin Xuemei was younger than him. If he wanted to make her grow old, As long as she was in power for a day, it would be too difficult. But... Thinking back to what his boss had said to him, Zhou Xin felt that... At least the old boss won't fool me. After all, I've been working hard for him all these years. Even if I have a conscience, I can't let myself end up as a vice president of a subsidiary company!
After thinking through this, Zhou Xin decided to stay. He did not expect that this stay would really have an effect.
Those medicinal Section Chiefs in the company took advantage of the dark night to run to their own homes one by one. Of course, their hands were all empty. However, when they left, there would always be a small card on the coffee table. This made Zhou Xin feel comfortable. In the past, he had kept many similar things, but... He knew it was all for his boss's sake. If he didn't have his boss backing him up, who would take a liking to him?
However, it was different now. They were giving him gifts now because they wanted to give him face. They don't need others to back them up. If they want to say they have someone to back them up... This is the system, the system is backing them up. Looking at the Section Chief that came and went one after another, Zhou Xin couldn't help but think of the question that the old boss had once told him about giving him gifts.
The annual gift ceremony had already developed into a mature economic chain. From the intentional act of the giver to the request of the giver, to the acceptance of the giver, and finally to the various people in the middle. The gift economy climbed higher and higher with the momentum of one step per year. The gift had become a serious problem that the entire society had to face. Giving gifts to the higher ups and bosses was a huge learning experience. If you gave too much, it would cause unnecessary trouble. Making new surprises is a big challenge.
In the past, they thought that the boss might not dare to accept gifts and money directly at the boss's house. Therefore, he organized various kinds of mahjong games and so on. With the birth of the shopping card VIP card, all of this is no longer a problem. You just need to get money from Shang Chao's finances to exchange for a card and it will be done. Respect!
However, what Zhou Xin admired the most was how the old boss gave him a gift that was more important than a gift.
In the old boss's words, gift skills were not important. Who would care about such a small thing if they could accept the gift? What was important? It was a form. The form itself was much more important than what was given. The highest realm of giving gifts was not how big the gift was, but to give the other party a reason to accept it. This is the most important thing, a small gift must be big. A big gift was small. A gift was not equivalent to corruption. It was a natural fact. However, corruption would definitely include a gift. It was also a natural fact. In today's society, the biggest difficulty of being a boss was to be unable to resist other people's gifts. You have to reject other people's good intentions. You reject work, you reject relationships, You refuse your political career. You rejected other people's gifts and broke the original balance and harmony. What hurt was his face, and what he lost was his own interests. In today's circle, It's not a simple question of integrity whether you take it or not. It was a complicated question. The person who gave the money was fine, but he felt safe after receiving the money. It would be troublesome if he didn't take the money: You are anti-trend, you are an anomaly. If you do not accept it, you are an outsider. If you are not friends enough, you are not one of us. You are an honest man. This means that you are not one of us on the political stage. You have to get out. This phenomenon is no longer a problem for a specific person. It has become a social atmosphere.
In the past, people who gave gifts were usually not to meet, so as to avoid embarrassing the host and guests. This was the game rules in the circle, and it had to be followed. Whoever didn't follow it might cause trouble. But now it was different. With this card, When the time comes, all you need to do is to say a few words like a chatterbox and leave this thing or put it in the store for the boss to see. As for the rest, Everyone was well aware of it, so there was no need to delve further into it. Seeing that he didn't gain too much, he felt that it was neither too little nor too much. Zhou Xin felt good, but at the same time, he seemed to be thinking about something. To be exact, he was thinking about something. He was thinking about a person and whether this person would come or not. If he did not come, how big of a gift could he give himself? At the same time that Zhou Xin thought about it, there was another person who thought the same thing. Of course, his thoughts were much simpler. He just wanted to know what kind of gift would interest Zhou Xin. He reckoned that Zhou Xin wouldn't lack ordinary money these years. He didn't have the ability to purchase expensive items.
"Qin Feng, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat!" Zhou Ningmeng's voice came from the dining room. After learning that Lin Xuemei might leave after the new year, Zhou Ningmeng could be said to be very enthusiastic towards Qin Feng now. She was very affectionate towards Qin Feng every day. Especially when she heard that he passed the exam. This made Zhou Ningmeng very proud in front of her friends and colleagues. Although Zhou Ningmeng did not care much about this, but... At least there's a sense of pride. Always liked to be complimented.
"Ningmeng, what do you think we should bring to President Zhou?" Qin Feng was still frowning when he sat at the table. "President Zhou is in charge after President Lin left. At this time, if we don't show some sincerity, it will be hard for us to start our work in the future. "
"You are thinking too much. President Zhou will not be so narrow-minded." Zhou Ningmeng fiddled with the dishes on the table. However, during this holiday, she still had to walk around. In the past, whenever there was such a time, Our door couldn't be closed at night. It had become a culture that no one could go against. Especially you, who are not big or small, you have to go to the boss's house. I think it's a little late for you to act like this. Those Section Chiefs might have run away a long time ago.
Sigh, I know. Haven't I been worrying about what to give? " Qin Feng had a worried look on his face. He picked up a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. The delicacies from the past looked like wax to him today.
"What are you worried about?" Zhou Ningmeng said indifferently. "President Zhou doesn't care what you give him. He cares if you go or not. The whole company knows you are President Lin's man. " The more you do that, the more President Zhou cares about you. After all, he will be the future boss of the company. I believe he already knew this in his heart. According to what I said, President Lin thought that she had already told the higher-ups that she might leave through some means. That's why the higher-ups sent President Zhou here. "
President Lin said she hasn't told the higher-ups yet. "Qin Feng shook his head." That's why it's not easy now. I don't even know if these two are on the same side or on the opposite side. If one thing goes wrong, I will be finished in the middle."
"President Lin will still care about you?" Zhou Ningmeng said sourly, "That kind of thing has already happened between you two. She values your position and will not care about what you will do. According to what I said, she wants you to be the boss all of a sudden."
I have been the boss a few times already. Qin Feng thought wickedly in his heart. Of course, he didn't dare to show it on his face. "You mean to say that I only need President Zhou to stand there. Even if I don't take anything, he won't blame me?"
"That's right." Zhou Ningmeng nodded. "He wants your heart. As for other things, I think he will not care. " But you can't really go empty-handed. According to me, not only can you not go empty-handed, It would be best if you could find something that could hit him in one hit. This will be good for your future work.
"The problem is that I don't know what he likes." "That's why I'm upset."
"I don't know what he likes. He can do it on her wife," Zhou Ningmeng said with a mysterious smile. "As far as I know, his wife is very beautiful, but she is very stingy. She likes to wear noble clothes, but she is always reluctant to buy them. She likes to use high-end cosmetics, but she wants to use the ones that fell off that day."
"His family is so rich. Just take it and buy it. It's not like he doesn't have money. What is there to be reluctant about?" Qin Feng said in disdain, "If you keep that money, you can give birth to a child!"
"There are all kinds of birds in the forest, let alone humans." Zhou Ningmeng put a mouthful of eggs into her mouth and could not help frowning. "These eggs are not as good as those that Mom brought over."
"It's cold. Those chickens that are raised separately are not laying eggs anymore. Where are there more?" Qin Feng took a bite of fried eggs and put it in his mouth. He really didn't taste as good as those stupid eggs his mother brought. It seemed like this was caused by the feed. It had changed the nature of the chicken. No matter how windy it was, as long as the feed caught up with it, it didn't matter if it was spring, summer, autumn or winter. These eggs are one after another, unlike the chickens that are kept at home. As long as it was especially cold in winter, people would rest and recuperate. They would not lay eggs until the next year.
"Let's not talk about eggs. Let's talk about Madam Zhou first." Zhou Ningmeng returned to the topic just now. "This afternoon. I saw her in the mall. She liked a dress. She was not willing to take it off when she was wearing it, but... When the waiter asked her if she wanted to pack, she said she didn't want it, but... With that step, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. "
"You know her?" Qin Feng was confused.
"Of course," Zhou Ningmeng said. "I knew President Zhou on the first day he came to our company."
"Amazing, my wife." Qin Feng bowed and kissed Zhou Ningmeng.
"Aiya, you are so oily. What are you doing?" Zhou Ningmeng still had a charming smile on her face.
"Do you mean that if it doesn't work, we will do it on his wife?" Qin Feng said excitedly, "How about we buy the clothes she likes and send them to her tonight?"
"No." Zhou Ningmeng shook her head.
"Why not?" Qin Feng was confused. "Didn't you say you would take his wife's path?"
"I mean, I can't buy the one she likes." Zhou Ningmeng rolled her eyes at Qin Feng. "I really don't know how Lin Xuemei thought about it. You are such a blockhead. You are still asking you to be an official in that circle."
Ever since she learned that Qin Feng and Lin Xuemei had done that kind of thing, Zhou Ningmeng had called Qin Feng by his name on the surface and in private. Of course, except for some important occasions, she also knew that if she did it too much, it would not be good for the three of them.
"I am a blockhead. It doesn't matter. Don't you have a god-like wife?" Qin Feng did not dare to say no now. He completely followed Zhou Ningmeng's meaning.
"It's true that you bought her clothes, but you can't buy the one she likes. Qin Feng rolled his eyes and Zhou Ningmeng said mysteriously.
"Why?" Qin Feng still did not understand. "No matter what, I will buy it. Then I will buy it to satisfy my heart. If I am not satisfied, why would I buy it for others? Isn't it because I can't do anything for free?"
"What do you know? You are right to listen to me. Hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, we will do this thing," Zhou Ningmeng urged.
"Can you do it?" Qin Feng muttered. He quickly finished the porridge in the bowl and stuffed the mantou into his mouth.
