CEO of Zhuomei Shopping Center: Penelope, whose English name is Betsy, was born on September 10, 1988. His ancestral home is Suzhou. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States with a Master of Business Administration.
I was reading my resume and was extremely shocked. It turned out that the woman I had driven away from that dilapidated room last night was actually the newly appointed CEO of Zhuomei Shopping Center. Although I don’t work for Zhuomei, Zhuomei is our biggest competition with Boli Department Store. Opponent still allows me to have some indirect contact with Penelope. At least we are both engaged in the department store industry, although our status is very different.
Is it true that enemies never get together? After our intersection in life, we indirectly connected in work.
Kyle noticed my abnormality and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Zhuomei's personnel file?"
"No, no, I just think Zhuomei's new CEO is too beautiful. He is only 26 years old. I don't know if he has a boyfriend."
Kyle looked at me helplessly, speechless for a long time.
"Then manager, please be busy first, I'm going to work." I said and left the manager's office with Zhuomei's personnel file without waiting for Kyle response.
When I returned to my office, I looked through the personnel file again. After reading it over and over, I turned back to the page about Penelope. I still felt a little incredible. I subconsciously compared myself with her, and instantly felt that she was a human being. The gap can be so huge. You must know that Zhuomei has been stabilizing our Baoli in Suzhou over the years. As the CEO of Zhuomei, Penelope is better in the industry than our Baoli CEO Yang Huaqing, and working at Baoli In the past two years, because of his rank, I have never even seen Yang Huaqing. In my heart, Yang Huaqing is a man who stands on a high place and needs to raise his head and look up. But not long ago, Penelope, as a A person who is stronger than Yang Huaqing in the industry was treated roughly by me. I still remember the day I threw her sheets and quilt into the rain through the window. At that time, Penelope actually cried in grievance in front of me. And in the subsequent interactions with me, I was even worse
I didn’t think about it anymore. At this moment, I was really lucky that I was working at Baoli, not Zhuomei.
Aidan next to me looked at my changing expression and asked in confusion: "Maxwell, why is your expression so distorted?"
“face hurts”
"Oh, what information are you holding in your hand? I see you have been looking through it for a long time."
"Take the latest personnel file from Zhuomei and get familiar with it." I said and threw the file to Aidan.
Aidan immediately started reading. As soon as he saw the first page, he said to me in surprise: "The CEO at Zhuomei has changed."
"Yeah." I responded.
Aidan continued to look and sighed, "You are only 26 years old and you are still so beautiful. You can't be a vase, right?"
"You think it's a vase, too." I said to Aidan as if I were a close friend, but my heart was unbalanced. How come Penelope and I were both born in the 1980s? She lives like a fairy, but I live like a bird. cockroach.
"But I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Master of Business Administration, so I shouldn't be too fancy. Who doesn't know that the business school of the University of Pennsylvania is the best in the world."Aidan looked at Penelope's photo and denied what he just said. view.
I glared at Aidan and said, "Aidan, do you have any position? What happened to the MBA from the University of Pennsylvania? Modern business competition requires wisdom and experience, not academic qualifications."
"Why are you so excited? I just said it casually. Whether she is a vase or not has nothing to do with us little people."
"Sissy, don't talk to me."
"Who is a sissy? I am a pure man who loves outdoor sports."Aidan said to me while suppressing his blush.
"Outdoor ballet bar."
"Maxwell, you beast, your actions are harmful and your words are even more harmful."
I replied nonchalantly: "Scold, keep scolding, hold the orchid and point at it."
Aidan: ""
This evening, my colleagues and I stayed at the company and worked overtime for two hours. I have been in this working state for several days in a row, and I have gradually adapted to this kind of busyness and high pressure. This is an interesting moment for me. It was a significant change, and my life, which had been decadent for a long time, needed such a change.
When I was about to leave the company, I received a call from Wesley. He told me that he and Zoey had returned from Sanya and invited me to have dinner together. I asked him warily if Emily was there, and he told me that Emily had already met Xiang Wei. Brian went to Nanjing, and I let down my guard, but my heart was filled with unspeakable loss. I knew exactly what it meant for Emily and Brian to return to Nanjing this time.
The weight of the night kept suppressing my sensitivity, so I became more and more depressed and lost.
I came to the restaurant I had arranged with Wesley, smoked a cigarette at the door, grinned at myself in the window, and felt that my smile was flawless, then I put out the cigarette and walked into the restaurant.
Zoey waved to me from afar, and I walked toward the couple with difficulty maintaining the smile I had just now.
After I sat down, Zoey immediately handed me the convenience bag beside her and said, "I know you like to drink beer, so I bought you a lot of seafood Maxwell that can be opened and eaten immediately. I think my sister loves you enough."
I took the bag from Zoey hand, curled my lips and said, "You are a married young woman, so stop pretending to be your sister in front of us. I really can't scream."
Zoey slapped me and said, "You are really a loser. What happened to my young wife? She is also your sister."
I laughed heartlessly "haha", but I was still immersed in a kind of undue loss that I couldn't extricate myself from.
While Zoey and I were laughing, Wesley asked me, "I heard from Manager Chen that Zhuomei will have a large-scale promotion for Baoli in the near future."
I nodded and said, "Well, this is to be expected. Otherwise, Kyle wouldn't be so eager to call you back. It's a pity that your wedding leave is over." Then he turned to Zoey and asked, "Young woman, haven't you come yet?" Isn’t it very annoying to be summoned back after you’ve had so much fun?”
Zoey held Wesley's arm and said, "I have always supported my husband's work. I don't care if he misses playing for a few days."
"A good wife, a good wife," I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
Wesley hugged Zoey and smiled at me: "You can also put some effort into training your girlfriend to be a good wife."
I was speechless, just waiting for the waiter to quickly bring the dishes.
During the meal, Wesley chatted with me about work again. I briefly told him about my recent work situation, and he suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that the CEO of Zhuomei has been changed. How about you?" There should be their latest personnel files."
"Yes, Kyle gave me a copy this morning."
"Have you brought it with you? Let me see."
I suddenly realized that the newly appointed CEO of Zhuomei was none other than Penelope. If Wesley had been shocked when he first saw that personnel file, it would be hard for me to explain, because it was so unbelievable that I never thought of that in my dreams. The woman I forced to pretend to be my "girlfriend" turned out to be Zhuomei's new CEO.
I immediately said, "I don't have anything to do with that thing."
"You should have read the personnel file. Please briefly introduce the new CEO of Zhuomei and the situation of their planning department."
I said impatiently: "When we get off work, why don't we talk about work?"
Wesley said to me very seriously: "I have always been unambiguous about work matters. For me, there is no difference between commuting and work. As members of the company's planning department, it is necessary for us to understand the trends of our competitors as soon as possible. homework."
I remained silent, knowing that there was no way I could hide this matter. Wesley would have to look at Zhuomei's personnel files sooner or later. My heart crossed, so I simply took out the information from my bag and threw it in front of Wesley, saying, "This is it."
Wesley picked up the file and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you didn't bring it with you?"
"Don't ask, just look first.":
