chapter 49 Bad news

On the way to the advertising agency, Sofia Shen chewed Xuanmai in her mouth and couldn't stop at all. Lift the intricate lid of the office to William Wang. Dancing and full of expressions. If it wasn't in a taxi and the impact needs to be considered, Sofia Shen would probably be able to pull out all the gossip. William Wang smiled and said: "Your state reminds me of an interesting thing." "Ah? What's the matter?"Sofia Shen's waving hands stopped in mid-air, looking at William Wang and blinking. "It is said that 75 to 80 percent of a person's lifetime communication time is gossip!" Wang Hui suppressed a smile and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but now I feel that 80 percent is nothing. .” "Brother Hui!"Sofia Shen blushed and raised her fist as if to hit. Sofia Shen was a little embarrassed to be gossiped about by a man in front of her face. "You're kidding!"William Wang explained with a smile, "I also like to hear gossip!" "Really?"Sofia Shen looked unbelieving. "Of course it's true. If you want to learn about your new unit, listening to gossip is the best way. There may be no reason for the rumors to come out of nowhere."William Wang's expression gradually became serious. To be honest, Sofia Shen's image and temperament are quite good. Let alone the head office, even if it is placed at the headquarters of the entire group company, it is definitely counted. Of course, compared with Zoey Guan, he is still a little behind. Zoey Guan wins in all aspects. Especially for men, compared to such white-collar workers, conquering a high-ranking businesswoman like Zoey Guan gives them a greater sense of accomplishment. This is why, when a man reaches a certain status, what he pays most attention to when looking for a woman is her identity. Playing is an identity. Gossip will eventually come to an end. After calming down, William Wang and Sofia Shen got together and browsed the contents of the file. The advertising company under Dingxin Group has very old qualifications. Back then, when Ethan Guan founded Dingxin, the advertising company was the corporate publicity department at that time. Later, the company became bigger and bigger. The Publicity Department was directly independent and became an advertising agency. Blow the trumpet and carry the sedan chair for Dingxin Group, while also undertaking external business. In the past few years, advertising companies have been booming. In the industry, it is second only to those 4A advertising companies. It can be regarded as a well-known local powerhouse. However, in the past few years, Dingxin Advertising's salary has not kept up, its business has been somewhat blocked, and it has lost many talents. The company's business has also shrunk significantly. Now, this old branch that has existed since Dingxin was founded has reached the point of being half-dead. The document William Wang sent was a layoff decision specially issued by the group company. "All employees under the age of thirty-five will be laid off? This accounts for more than half."William Wang glanced at the content of the decision and secretly sighed. This shows that Dingxin Advertising has We have reached the edge of life and death. "Anyway, the advertising company is a mess. We have changed managers several times, but nothing has improved."Sofia Shen shrugged, "If this layoff doesn't work, I guess we should sell it, or go bankrupt and divert it directly." .” William Wang remained silent. He couldn't help but think of the gloomy and gloomy scene more than a year ago, on the eve of Zhongxing Group Company's bankruptcy. Watching the company collapse and watching myself lose her job. It's a pain that will last a lifetime. William Wang swore that he did not want to experience it again in his life. After arriving at the advertising agency, what I saw and heard was the same as what Sofia Shen said. There are nearly two hundred people in such a large company. lifeless. There is no trace of the vitality and aura that the creative industry should have. It looked like he was about to die. The manager of the advertising company took over the group's decision, read it over, covered his face and remained silent for a long time. No matter when the cause of today's result was sown. As the current person in charge, he still feels sad. "I'm sorry for everyone!" He grabbed his hair in pain, "There are more than a dozen old employees in the company who followed Old Guan to conquer the world. Because of their academic qualifications and level, they couldn't develop better, so they all came to me. advertising agency." "How can I talk to them like this?" The advertising company manager said with a confused look on his face. William Wang remained silent. Sigh secretly. They say there is hard work without any merit. But in real life, it is not uncommon to kill a donkey. Those old employees who followed Ethan Guan to conquer the world should have only strength and no unique skills. When I get older, I can only work part-time jobs in some companies. She believes that the tough line drawn by the group headquarters against the age of 35 should be targeted at this group of older employees. No matter how much effort you put in back then, just abandon it if the capitalists say it! Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the word capital? "Sign it, we're going back now!"Sofia Shen reminded. Suddenly, the door of the manager's office was pushed open. A large group of people stood at the door. Everyone was staring at William Wang and Sofia Shen. Their faces showed uneasiness and even fear. "What are you doing?" the advertising company manager stood up and asked with a frown. A middle-aged man in his forties walked to the front of the crowd, looked at Sofia Shen and said: "Miss Shen, I know you are the general manager of the group, right? We are going to lay off employees?" Sofia Shen had a sullen face. At this time, she should never speak. "Manager Zhang, is our company going to be dissolved?" The middle-aged man didn't get an answer from Sofia Shen, so he turned to ask the general manager. His expression was a little excited. "Old Liu, you go back first, the group's decision Yes, I will hold a special meeting to announce it! Manager Zhang's scalp was numb, "You are all seniors of the group, you must trust the headquarters!" The headquarters will not leave you alone! " Only then did William Wang notice that the average age of the people at the door was quite old. It seems that the youngest one is over forty. Presumably, they are those veterans. well William Wang sighed secretly. No academic qualifications, only strength. In the new era, not being liked by your boss is a big deal. These people will become outcasts. "I don't believe it!" Lao Liu waved his hand angrily, "I've heard the news a long time ago that we old guys are going to be laid off." "We don't believe it!" The rest of the people started shouting. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense. "We want to see Mr. Guan. Even if we have to lay off employees, he must tell us personally!" Old Liu was extremely excited. "Mr. Guan has been treating his illness, where can I come to see you?" Manager Zhang was about to cry. These veterans cannot be beaten or scolded. A terrible headache. "I don't care!" Lao Liu roared, "I'm forty-eight this year, and I've been working for Dingxin since I was eighteen. I owe all of you to where you are today!" "If I get laid off, what will I do? Ah, tell me!" Lao Liu grabbed Manager Zhang's collar and shook him hard. William Wang immediately rushed forward and separated Lao Liu and Manager Zhang. Manager Zhang ripped off his tie and shouted: "What can I do? Our company is about to be destroyed. Are we all going to die together?" "Why is it us? We have no merit but hard work!" Old Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes fiercely and turned around to leave. The other middle-aged employees looked at Manager Zhang in silence. Then slowly dispersed. There is a sad smell in the air. Leave the advertising agency. William Wang and Sofia Shen did not call for a taxi directly. Instead, he strolled along the street. Both of them were in a bad mood. "Actually, it's not just advertising companies. Five of the thirteen secondary companies affiliated to the group will find it difficult to meet their third-quarter targets."Sofia Shen said in a heavy tone. As an office worker, she has access to much more big data than other departments. Have a general understanding of the momentum of the entire Dingxin Group. In short, it is not optimistic. "I didn't expect that such a big plate would be like this."William Wang sighed. Don't think that giants can't fall. The huge size of the giant itself means that once it falls, it will be devastating. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was a little dull. William Wang remembered his days at Zhongxing Group Company. As for Sofia Shen, she was simply worried about Dingxin's future.
