After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 163 Teacher Zhou Caring for His Apprentices
the next day.

Zhou Haoran went to work early in the morning.

Slightly startled.

The office is bright and clean!

This level of cleanliness is not that of a cleaner.

After walking around, I saw three apprentices busy cleaning. Guo Xiangdi was mopping the floor, Qiao Nuo was cleaning the windows, and another apprentice, Shen Aiguo, was sticking his butt out, wiping the dust off the walls.

He is indeed an apprentice, so aware!
Zhou Haoran thought back to his days as an apprentice.

It's really different.

"Xiao Qiao, come here!"

Zhou Haoran waved his hand and called his apprentice over.

Guo Xiangdi looked up and saw him, and said happily, "Master Zhou is here."

Zhou Haoran smiled slightly, "Xiao Guo, the work doesn't have to be too hard, the cleaning staff will take care of these things."

Guo Xiangdi smiled and said, "It's okay. It's what I should do."

Zhou Haoran said with concern: "Brother Shen, don't be too tired."

Shen Aiguo said nonchalantly, "I'm used to it. It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing! I'll be done soon!"

Zhou Haoran responded with a friendly smile.

"Teacher Zhou……"

Qiao Nuo looked like she was having a hard time cleaning. Her pretty face was flushed and there were a few beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

"come here."

Zhou Haoran didn't give her a good look.

He turned around and walked towards the director's office.

"The director is in a meeting..."

Qiao Nuo thought he was going to report to Director Meng, so he quickly reminded him.

"ignore him."

Zhou Haoran didn't care and pushed the door open.

Going to the director's office is like going home.

Qiao Nuo was in a panic, "Teacher Zhou, the director is not here. If there is something, should we go out and wait for him?"

Zhou Haoran sat down on the sofa and said, "Go and close the door."

"what?"

Jono was shocked.

"Go!"

Zhou Haoran left no doubt.

"Oh……"

Qiao Nuo was a little timid and felt that Teacher Zhou was too strict.

She closed the door, walked over again, and stood timidly in front of him.

Zhou Haoran asked in a deep voice: "Who asked you to do this work?"

"What are you talking about just now?" Qiao Nuo thought for a moment, a little timidly, "No one, it was just Guo Xiangdi who suggested that we apprentices should be more proactive and find more work..."

Zhou Haoran snorted, "I knew it!"

"Ok?"

Jono didn't understand what he meant.

Zhou Haoran said, "You are my apprentice. I have the final say on what you should do. No one can order you around!"

"Oh……"

Qiao Nuo now vaguely understood.

It turns out that Teacher Zhou is concerned about me.

I felt like I was being bullied because I came to work early in the morning and started cleaning and working.

Qiao Nuo's lips curled up into a smile, and he became happy. "Teacher Zhou, I volunteered to do this. I want to work hard and integrate into the sales department as soon as possible."

"You're so young, don't try so hard."

Zhou Haoran wants to correct her thoughts.

Young people these days have very simple thoughts and believe in the toxic chicken soup arguments of "hard work = getting rich" and "effort = success". Many of them even have a spirit of self-sacrifice and dedication.

Qiao Nuo looked confused.

Zhou Haoran sat back on the sofa, looking relaxed, but his tone was rather stern. "The meaning of work lies in choice, not effort. For meaningless things, no matter how much you work or how hard you try, it will ultimately be meaningless."

"Teacher Zhou..." Qiao Nuo bit his lip and said weakly, "You talk like my dad. I'm a little scared."

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh, "You're right. If you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

Qiao Nuo shook his head slightly. "I'm not uncomfortable. I know Teacher Zhou is doing this for my own good. He thinks I'm being bullied for cleaning."

"Come, sit down." Zhou Haoran asked her to sit on the sofa and said earnestly, "That Guo Xiangdi is very dangerous. Stay away from him."

"No way?"

Qiao Nuo thought it was unreasonable.

Most people are like this. Due to lack of experience and insufficient contact with people, they have a very superficial understanding of what is good and evil in people.

If a person has shortcomings, just deny him/her directly.

If a person is full of advantages, you will be particularly close to him and leave a good impression.

It's all based on emotional judgment.

This is especially true for many women, who keep complaining, "Why do I always meet scumbags?" They also self-deprecatingly say that they have the physique of scumbag men.

In fact, it is a lack of deep understanding of people.

The reason why I always meet scumbags...

Because before they recognize the true nature of a scumbag, all he shows are his strengths. Only a scumbag has so many advantages that satisfy them and make them willing to have a deep relationship with him.

The reason why they can't meet honest people is because honest people don't pretend, their shortcomings are obvious, and they will be given up early.

Human nature is universal.

Zhou Haoran would rather be close to people like Zhong Jiantong and Tian Kai than have close friendship with people like Guo Xiangdi.

An apprentice who just graduated from college, and still has the prestigious first-class staff status.

If he was just a naughty playboy, it would be fine.

Jiang Feibiao is available for dating.

On his first day at work, Guo Xiangdi lowered his head to clean the place and warmly and affectionately called Zhou Haoran, an unfamiliar young man who looked younger than him, "Master Zhou."

Most people simply cannot grasp this kind of smooth and mature behavior.

If Zhou Haoran puts in some thought and uses some tricks, he is confident that he can catch him.

He has this level.

But Qiao Nuo couldn't do that.

"Only the alpha wolf can tame the cubs. It's best for the little lamb to stay away from the wolves."

Zhou Haoran is very responsible and doesn't want his apprentice to suffer in the future.

"what?"

Qiao Nuo was completely confused and didn't understand anything.

Zhou Haoran knew he couldn't convince her in a short time. He thought for a moment, then looked around the office and asked, "What do you think of this place?"

"Isn't this the director's office?"

How could Qiao Nuo follow his train of thought?

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "From now on, this will be your office."

"Ah?" Qiao Nuo thought he was teasing her, so she pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Teacher Zhou, please stop coming here."

Zhou Haoran pondered and said, "Kicking the director out isn't very realistic... Fortunately, this place is big enough. If we move these sofas, we can just put in a chair. If we move this coffee table, we can just put in a table."

"what?"

Qiao Nuo was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "What a great environment here! The salesmen outside smoke every day, and the air is filled with smoke. Let's put up a 'No Smoking' sign on the wall to prevent people from smoking here."

"No..." Qiao Nuo was almost crying. "Teacher Zhou, are you serious?" Zhou Haoran glanced at her. "Those salesmen outside are all rough and uncouth. Do you want to be with them? My workstation is at the door, so I'm fine. But if you sit at the door like a girl, people will think you're the sales receptionist!"

"That's not possible..." Qiao Nuo was in no mood to pay attention to Teacher Zhou's humor. He just felt a huge pressure. "This is the director's office!"

Zhou Haoran didn't care. He was confident that he could arrange this matter. "This office is so big, it won't be a problem to put another set of desks and chairs in it."

The reason for this arrangement is also related to his next plan.

After the books purchased from abroad arrive, he will study the information and write letters, exploring ways to seek the truth in the field of sales.

This kind of work would be too out of place to be done in a large office outside and would attract attention.

Occupy Director Meng's office.

It can be done quietly without being seen.

Qiao Nuo was pretty, but thin, so thin that even her breasts didn't stand out. She felt dizzy and said anxiously, "Teacher Zhou, I know you care about me, and I'm very grateful to you, but...but this really can't work..."

"Ok, deal!"

Zhou Haoran waved his hand.

"What's settled?"

At this time, Director Meng came back from the meeting.

He was not surprised by Zhou Haoran's sudden visit. He greeted Qiao Nuo in a friendly manner and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, are you familiar with the environment?"

Qiao Nuo was still in a state of nervousness and hadn't recovered yet, his eyes dodging. "Director, I... I'm adapting well."

Meng Xuemin thought she was nervous.

Zhou Haoran crossed his legs and said bluntly, "Old Meng, please help me!"

Meng Xuemin was a little angry.

This guy doesn't even call me "Director" anymore, but calls me "Lao Meng" instead. He's really going to be so arrogant!

Zhou Haoran mainly wanted to show his close relationship with the director in front of his apprentice, so he was more casual and said casually: "Old Meng, I plan to move this sofa and coffee table."

"Move away?" Meng Xuemin was slightly startled. "Move where?"

Qiao Nuo immediately covered his face.

I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

I feel too embarrassed to face people.

I think Teacher Zhou is a nice person, and he cares about me and loves me, but why does he feel... a little off?

Zhou Haoran said frankly, "Move out. I don't want it anymore. I want to put another set of tables and chairs here and let Xiao Qiao work here. She's a girl, and I'm worried she'll be bullied if she hangs out with some rough guys."

"Um……"

Meng Xuemin glanced at him and did not refuse.

Then he looked at Qiao Nuo with a smile and said kindly, "Xiao Qiao, there is hot water outside. Can you help me get a glass of water?"

Zhou Haoran was afraid that she was inexperienced and would not understand the implicit meaning and would really go to pour water, so he added: "You step aside first. I'll talk to the director about office matters and call you later."

Qiao Nuo couldn't stay any longer.

When she heard this, she covered her red face and ran away as fast as her feet could slip.

After she left and closed the door, Meng Xuemin said angrily, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Haoran complained: "Director, I might be in trouble again!"

"Hmm?" Meng Xuemin frowned. "What trouble?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Tian Kai came to me yesterday and threatened me."

"Threatening you?"

"It's about the apprentice!"

"He deserves it!"

Meng Xuemin snorted coldly, thinking that Tian Kai deserved it.

Zhou Haoran sighed, "Team Leader Tian said that the investigation team's work isn't over yet. He's embarrassed himself so badly with the apprentice, and he wants revenge!"

Meng Xuemin said coldly, "Let him make a fuss! I wonder how long he can keep making such a fuss!!"

Zhou Haoran was both angry and amused. "Director, you say that so easily. The investigation team has been launched, and the one investigating is me! He can't deal with you, so he wants to use me as a scapegoat!"

"Aren't you afraid of being investigated?"

Meng Xuemin lit a cigarette, and this action reflected that he was also feeling melancholy at the moment.

Zhou Haoran said, "I'm not afraid of the investigation, but the investigation has shaken the morale of the troops."

"It shouldn't be..." Meng Xuemin felt that this matter was not that easy. "The investigation team has been withdrawn, and they are being sent out again? Does Tian Kai have such great power? Is he trying to scare you?"

Zhou Haoran said: "Anyway, I was threatened by him."

"Aren't you fearless?"

Meng Xuemin found it a little funny and started joking with him.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "I'm not afraid of him. I'm just telling you that I'm going to teach Tian Kai a lesson and let him know that there are always better people out there!"

"You?" Meng Xuemin didn't believe it. "What can you do?"

Zhou Haoran smiled, "I can fire Shao Kong and punish Tian Kai. It's not too difficult! Doesn't he like to make trouble? I can help you deal with him!"

"Ok?"

Meng Xuemin looked suspicious, and couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

"Anyway, you should be mentally prepared for this. Don't panic when the time comes." Zhou Haoran first expressed Director Meng's indebtedness to him, then returned to the previous topic, "My apprentice is a girl. Director, we must protect her well."

"How to protect it?" Meng Xuemin frowned. "Move it to my place?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Our salesmen are all like hungry wolves. Xiao Qiao is a fresh-faced college student. How can she have the experience to deal with these people? When I arrived this morning, I saw her being bullied while cleaning the windows!"

Meng Xuemin disagreed. "Just do some work. Which apprentice didn't come this way?"

Zhou Haoran said confidently, "I am not."

"You still know this?" Meng Xuemin was amused by him. "Have you ever been an apprentice for a day?"

Zhou Haoran ignored him. "Anyway, my apprentice can't be treated like a slave. Especially since she's a little girl. I can't just watch her get bullied."

"You're attracted to her, aren't you?"

Meng Xuemin felt that they were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Zhou Haoran said unhappily, "Can we let her move in?"

"No."

Meng Xuemin refused bluntly.

"You're too stingy, aren't you? This office is so big, it's not like it can't be put up there."

Zhou Haoran was very unhappy.

Meng Xuemin also looked innocent. "Don't blame me for this. This is the station's rule."

Zhou Haoran thought he was talking nonsense. "Come on! No matter how many rules the station has, do they really control where interns work?"

"These are not rules that restrict interns, but rules that restrict leaders."

"Ok?"

"Don't even mention me, even our director can't do this!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand what he meant.

Meng Xuemin said, "The rules of the station prohibit leaders from having assistants of the opposite sex, and prohibit men and women from working in the same office. Not to mention me, even the director's secretary must be a man. You asked Xiao Qiao to come over. Isn't this a disguised way of arranging a female secretary for me?"

"Oh! That's right!"

Zhou Haoran suddenly understood.

He really hadn't considered this.

His work experience comes from private enterprises.

There is no such regulation in private enterprises.

In order to improve work efficiency, it is necessary to use female secretaries, especially beautiful female secretaries. A beautiful female secretary can make you feel happy at first sight, which can not only improve the work efficiency of the leader, but also have a relaxing effect.

However, this is not the case with state-owned units.

Gotta avoid suspicion.

In order to avoid suspicion, men and women must be prohibited from living in the same room.
