My Terrible Life in Those Years

After saying that, I felt a little relieved, but I knew that the woman in front of me was not so easy to deal with.

His hands are black.

Zhou Tong's eyes widened immediately, and she stared at me intently.

Good heavens, this guy dares to talk to President Shu like that?

It completely overturned her worldview.

This temporary worker—oh, just turned a permanent employee, on his very first day as a permanent employee—dared to flirt with President Shu like this.

Sure enough, Aunt Shu's face didn't change much, but she slightly lifted her shoe, probably because she wanted to kick me but held back.

"Let me tell you about the specific work and division of labor in our department."

She gave me a sidelong glance and didn't dwell on the topic.

"In the past, I had also thought about calling it a public relations department, which would be responsible for dealing with major media outlets in the one or two years before the IPO, placing hard ads, soft ads, articles, and handling emergency situations like the ones we've encountered these past two days."

"However, both Mr. Liu and I felt that the name didn't sound very good. So, we changed it to the Ministry of Emergency Management! Externally, we call it the IPO Preparation Team!"

Oh, now that you put it that way, it's easier to understand.

"As for the division of labor, Zhou Tong will still be in charge of internal affairs, while Jiang Ning will be responsible for external affairs."

The errand-running work still fell to me.

"Internal affairs mainly involve the centralized organization of texts, documents, and images. Zhou Tong handles the finalization, submission, and initial review of our submitted drafts. She is meticulous and, being a woman, her previous work has always been satisfactory and reassuring to the company."

Zhou Tong excels at this; she comes from a background in writing and has also worked in internal affairs in the sales department.

She was quite satisfied with the arrangement and immediately agreed.

Her eyes turned to me, and my heart skipped a beat.

"As for Jiangning, his work is mostly outside, and he needs to frequently interact with the media present today, and even more other media outlets."

Hmm? Dealing with you?

"How do we deal with them?"

I asked, dumbfounded.

"You don't know how to make friends? I see you and that Miss Panpan getting along quite well, don't you? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was your classmate or an old friend. You've really only known each other for two days?"

Her eyes were fixed intently on me.

Not only her, but Zhou Tong was also reminded by Aunt Shu, and she looked at me with curious, gossipy eyes.

I…

I opened my mouth, and thought, "This woman, is she really that petty?"

What's so great about stepping on this?

I replied curtly, "We've only known each other for two days. They have a sense of justice; they won't let me stay in the blame forever."

That's right, unlike you guys, who suspend me from my duties at the drop of a hat!

Aunt Shu chuckled softly.

"Jiangning, I have a suggestion for you. In the future, when you deal with these people, you can't look at things from this perspective."

What do you mean?

"Reporter Hong is not only from a good family background, but his writing style and publishing methods are also top-notch in the industry."

I was a little stunned as I listened. To be honest, I had never thought about these things in depth.

I just got rid of all the black pots and pans all over my body!

"Do you think you, a mere temporary worker, are the only one who benefits from this?"

I'm not stupid; I followed her lead and thought about it for a moment.

"Oh, and our company too? Aren't we just like a free, huge advertorial, all this ups and downs?"

Aunt Shu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You thought of this, so at least you didn't waste those seven working days at Brilliant! Anything else?"

"besides?"

That's something I really didn't think of right away.

He fell into deep thought.

That's all there is to it, so who can possibly benefit?

It's not just me, it's just the company, isn't it?

I thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so I shook my head.

She turned to look at Zhou Tong: "What's your opinion?"

This woman kept using questioning to stimulate our thinking and encourage us to truly delve into the whole incident.

If we can understand and think this through, it will indeed be of great benefit to our work in the future.

This is another way she works; in some jobs, she needs to echo others.

However, in some jobs, she also needs to cultivate more capable employees who can think and work independently.

When Xiao Zhoutong asked her a question, she fell into thought again.

"Now that you mention it, it seems... it seems that Reporter Hong's status in the industry has risen to a higher level?"

She spoke hesitantly, afraid of saying the wrong thing or making the wrong judgment in front of Aunt Shu.

When I said that to her, she immediately realized that she had only been thinking about the company and hadn't considered the issue from any other perspective.

Zhou Tong has been with the company longer than me, and when it comes to industry issues, he definitely has areas where he's better than me.

Aunt Shu chuckled softly, like a rose with thorns.

Look at me, my eyes speak volumes: Kid, are you convinced yet? Even a young lady like you sees things more clearly than you do. You're just starting out, don't get cocky with me!

"Zhou Tong's colleague has a good idea. This reporter Hong made a scene this time, it was clearly prepared."

"She could have explained this matter clearly in a day or in one page, but she deliberately played a trick and divided it into several parts. Is there a reason for this? Is it really just the elegance of a scholar?"

She has successfully guided our thinking.

Look outward, don't just think about yourself and your company.

"However, getting information about Jiang Ning and the injured migrant workers was an unexpected turn of events."

She chuckled again, and I stared at her. This woman's face was fucking beautiful.

Especially when she's wearing business attire and talking about serious matters, she has a strange and inexplicable charm!

A sudden inspiration struck me.

"Then, will Uncle Qingguo and the other migrant workers also benefit?"

He said this very loudly, "I was just outdone by Xiao Zhou Tong, how can I accept that?"

It's one thing to lose face with Xiao Zhoutong in private, but to lose face like this in front of Aunt Shu is something I really feel extremely embarrassed about.

I don't know why, but I always want to prove my strong desire to her!

Aunt Shu was shocked.

Zhou Tong was also slightly taken aback.

"Did you come up with this yourself?" Aunt Shu asked me.

"Not entirely. You just mentioned the material about me and the migrant workers, right? But it's not just me; there are also Uncle Qingguo and the other migrant workers involved. Isn't that Hong Panpan's real purpose?"

Once the idea took hold, it was like a loose thread that pulled out all sorts of thoughts.

Aunt Shu smiled, having gained a new understanding of my reaction and thoughts.

But the annoyance in her eyes couldn't escape my notice. Originally, she wanted to use this conversation to give me a warning and not let myself get too cocky. Who knew that a sudden inspiration would strike me and I would say the last thing she wanted to say!

This inevitably angered her!

Finally, she concluded, echoing my words: "That's right, you guessed correctly. This incident is inseparable from the official media's advocacy of valuing migrant workers and their rights."

Now we both understand.

Even without our incident, she would probably have found some similar material to report.

Of course, it's uncertain whether other events will be as compelling as these to attract public attention and align with certain policies.

So, did I and my company hit the jackpot?

Goodness, I thought Miss Panpan was really doing this because I was in a bind!

"Alright, after you go downstairs, you can carefully summarize these matters. Jiang Ning's role is to contact these uncrowned kings and establish friendly cooperative relationships with them. This is to prepare for our company's IPO!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Could you make an appointment with Reporter Hong? Tell her we're inviting her to dinner tonight!"

Hmm? Tonight?

I blurted out, "I have a job tonight, a part-time job at a barbecue stand!"

The two beautiful women, one tall and one short, stared at me like I was an idiot!

Is this the guy who just received a 50,000 yuan bonus and became a full-time employee?

You're addicted to doing part-time work for thirty yuan a night?
