Chapter 11

  He smiled: "I'm just taking care of your emotions, thinking that it's better to keep the person around, so you won't suffer from longing. Isn't this being considerate? Shouldn't I be treated to a good meal?"

  "Why don't you just send me to the personnel department? Otherwise, going up and down the floors, seeing each other still needs to take the elevator, it's quite troublesome. You're a kind person, see things through to the end, send Buddha to the west, wish for perfection."

  Fu An Dong spread out his hands, looking like he was in a difficult situation: "The company has rules, I don't dare to do anything that violates them."

  "Is this what you wanted to talk about?" I didn't want to fight with him anymore.

  He said seriously: "Yes, timely understanding of new employees' emotions and job satisfaction is a leader's basic work."

  I'm fed up with his nonsense, I opened the office door and was about to leave: "What kind of leader are you? You're from the asset management department, what's your leadership relationship with me?"

  Just then, Zhang Qiu and Lu You were standing nearby chatting with colleagues. When Zhang Qiu saw Fu An Dong, he immediately fawned: "Director Fu, I'm introducing our new colleague to the environment. This is Director Lu of the investment banking department."

  Lu You heard and looked at us, standing still without coming closer.

  Fu An Dong slowly let out an "oh" and directly turned around and closed the office door.

  Lu You's first day on the job was quite lively, with colleagues whispering to each other about his discord with Fu Andong.

  These two people are not on the same page at all, Fu Andong has always looked down on Lu You, including his family and his cautious and silent personality. As far as I know, Lu You doesn't like Fu Andong either, he just didn't show it that obviously.

  Lu You and I don't get along with all my friends. He has always maintained his own temperament, never willing to enter my circle. I think this is the biggest difference in how we treat love. I can run thousands of miles to his hometown in Hunan for him, in a small house without heating or air conditioning, burning charcoal, watching his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt chatting familiarly in dialects that I don't understand; but he is not even willing to attend an ordinary friend gathering with me.

  Starting from September, the autumn campus recruitment began, and a series of campus presentations followed one after another. This year, due to the poor market conditions, the recruitment plan was not heavily promoted, and only a few key universities nationwide were rented as venues. I sent an email to all middle-level and above managers in the company, hoping that everyone could actively participate in the campus presentation meeting and try to "woo" the best students; but the response was sparse, and no one put this matter at the top of their priority list.

  To confirm the list of speakers, I had no choice but to call each department manager individually.

  Fu An Dong's phone rang several times without going through, and a few hours later he returned me a call with a very noisy background, seemingly at the airport: "Shen Shen, what's wrong?"

  "Where are you?"

  "I just arrived in Sanya, wait for me to find a quieter place." He seemed to be holding his phone and moved to a slightly less noisy area.

  "I was wondering if you can come to B University and C University's campus recruitment fair? You can come over and share your experiences." I have no doubt about Fu Andong's ability to deceive people, his serious speeches can be misleading like a magic trick, plus his personal image is also considered as a young talent, it's one of our company's best business cards.

  "When is it?"

  "The first game is next Monday afternoon, and the other one is on Tuesday morning. I plan to finish B University on Monday and take a bullet train to C City."

  He hesitated for a moment, seemingly able to hear him talking to someone else, occasionally with Liu Xi's voice.

  "Fu An Dong, is it inconvenient for you?"

  "He said after a while: 'I'm still not sure if I can attend, I'll give you an answer tomorrow or the day after.'"

  I said: "Okay, you've decided, just let me know."

  Given that the living signboard is in a state of uncertainty, I contacted several other leaders again. The leaders are all busy people, and without exception, they said they had no time and would find others in their department to attend as much as possible.
