Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Promotion
The colleague reacted sensitively: "Someone like me?"
Rong Ling smiled: "You heard wrong. I just think that at our level, there’s no need to speculate about others, especially President Li. She’s our boss’s boss, understand?"
The colleague laughed: "You’re quite the bootlicker! But honestly, if I could have a few words in front of her, I’d do the same."
Rong Ling felt there was no need to say much to this person.
Pointless.
...
Meeting room.
Li Yufei had been in meetings all morning.
After the meeting, she sat in the chair, feeling backache, her muscles a bit stiff.
She turned around and said to her assistant, "Call the HR manager over."
"Yes."
Soon, the HR manager arrived at the meeting room door.
Li Yufei moved her wrist and gestured to him: "Manager Zhang, come over here."
The manager walked over: "President Li, what can I do for you?"
Li Yufei glanced at him and asked, "Earlier, I arranged for a young man to join the company. What position did you assign him to?"
Manager Zhang pondered for a moment: "Oh, is President Li talking about that young man with the last name Rong?"
Li Yufei nodded slightly.
Manager Zhang looked a bit troubled, starting to feel nervous: "I assigned him to the security department. He looks well-built and strong... President Li, are you not satisfied with my arrangement?"
Li Yufei: "I checked his resume a bit. He seems to be a student from Jinghua University."
The degree from Jinghua University is highly prestigious, especially in the biology department, even more so than many foreign institutions of higher education.
Some overseas students, apart from those from places like Harvard, Cambridge, and the Ivy League, otherwise, a degree from Jinghua University is enough to earn high regard.
Manager Zhang awkwardly said: "Although he has a degree from Jinghua University, he didn’t graduate, he dropped out."
Li Yufei said: "I checked, he’s only one year away from graduating. Moreover, from what I understand, if nothing goes wrong, he could have directly pursued a master’s and PhD combined program."
Manager Zhang said: "President Li, according to the company’s regulations, such incomplete educational backgrounds can’t be placed in any formal positions. Do you see that even the security department has its own thresholds, either they’re physical education majors or retired military, and although the salary is $12,000, when you add bonuses and year-end bonus, calculated at 15 months per year, it’s already quite considerate of him. Plus, I’ve allocated him a single room in the dormitory."
He paused, then asked in a lowered voice: "Does President Li have some special reason to care so much about him?"
Li Yufei furrowed her brows, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, tinged with a bit of coldness: "What are you thinking?"
Manager Zhang’s heart skipped a beat, immediately realizing he had misspoken!
Li Yufei said softly: "Do you think there’s some unsavory relationship between me and him, and that’s why I’m giving him special attention?"
"No... not at all." Manager Zhang quickly waved his hands, "President Li appreciates talent! She appreciates talent..."
Privately, it had spread throughout the HR department.
Li Yufei broke the rules to greenlight someone like Rong Ling with such educational background.
They all thought Li Yufei, having recently divorced, was infatuated with a young and handsome ’little wolfdog’ like Rong Ling, her judgment clouded by lust, wanting to support him indirectly.
In the socialite circles, men play around, and wealthy, powerful women and female entrepreneurs do the same.
However, Li Yufei is definitely the clear stream among them.
She’s always kept herself clean, without any unsavory rumors, many men want to cozy up to her, yet she is famously career-focused, impervious.
Li Yufei said: "I owe him a favor. I accidentally hit him with my car before, and that’s how I came to know him a bit."
She slowly stood up: "He protected me once. I’m someone who always repays kindness. That’s all. I just feel that with his educational background, it’s a bit of a waste for him to be a security guard. Sometimes, the degree shouldn’t be so rigidly enforced, the rules are dead but people are alive, aren’t they."
Manager Zhang nodded.
Li Yufei is not a rigid boss.
She greatly despises formalism.
After taking over the Li Family, she abolished many formalistic rules, optimizing the workplace procedures.
For instance, departments used to require many procedures for handovers, sometimes it would only take ten minutes for departments to hand over cases, but procedures for various documents for handover took up two hours of time. After Li Yufei took over, she abolished these formal procedures, which is why departmental workplace efficiency improved rapidly.
Manager Zhang said: "President Li, I understand your intention."
Li Yufei: "I’ve recently invested in a pharmaceutical project, and this project is up for bidding. Currently, a project preparatory team has been established in the direct department for this project, you can consider transitioning Rong Ling to this team for training."
Manager Zhang could tell that Li Yufei valued Rong Ling greatly and wanted to promote him, so he understood: "President Li, I understand!"
Li Yufei: "You may leave now!"
Manager Zhang discreetly wiped a cold sweat, nodded, and turned to leave.
Li Yufei stood up, stretching her shoulders, and the assistant immediately walked over to give her a shoulder rub: "President Li, is your shoulder sore from sitting all morning? Would you like me to arrange a massage for you?"
Li Yufei said: "No need, I have things to do this afternoon."
In the afternoon, she had arranged with Du Shaoheng to accompany the two children to see a movie.
The assistant nodded.
Afternoon.
Li Yufei went home, picked up Junjun, and arrived at the cinema on time.
Du Shaoheng and Du Huaixi had arrived early and had already bought the tickets.
Li Yufei holding Junjun’s hand, walked to the cinema entrance, saw Du Shaoheng alone with Du Huaixi, and casually asked, "Where’s your wife?"
Du Shaoheng: "She’s out with her girlfriends for spa treatments."
Li Yufei asked: "How’s your health lately?"
Du Shaoheng knew what she was referring to, and immediately said: "It’s fine."
The four of them entered the theater.
Because it was not a holiday or weekend, the whole show had only the four of them.
Du Huaixi and Junjun sat in the middle.
Li Yufei and Du Shaoheng sat on the left and right sides, respectively.
The movie plot was very interesting, so Junjun and Xixi were captivated, watching intently.
Li Yufei, however, was drowsy.
Du Shaoheng seemed somewhat distracted.
His mind wasn’t on the movie plot but occasionally looking at Li Yufei.
With her arms crossed, her head bowed, nodding off, she was obviously exhausted.
