The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president
Chapter 156 The legendary unspoken rules in the workplace?
The place to entertain customers was chosen to be a high-star hotel. They arrived first and the customers came later.
As soon as the customer entered the door, He Tian took the lead and walked up to him, tightly shaking the hand of the middle-aged man in the lead. "Mr. Liu, welcome, welcome to our company for inspection. Please forgive me if there is anything I have not done well."
Mr. Liu laughed out loud, "Manager He, you are being too polite."
After a few polite greetings, He Tian briefly introduced everyone present, and everyone sat down to eat.
At the beginning, Zhou Yian found an inconspicuous corner to stand, and when he sat, he also deliberately found an inconspicuous place, so he didn't have much presence.
In addition to Zhou Yian, He Tian, and Huang Bo, there are two colleagues, one male and one female, from the business department, the head of the human resources department, and the company's manager, a total of 7 people. There are also 4 people from the client side, 2 men and 6 women.
More than a dozen people sat at one table. No one noticed anyone else, and no one cared about anyone else. There were no so-called unspoken rules. Zhou Yian finally let go of his worries and ate his meal in silence.
The leaders did not talk about their work matters, but kept drinking one glass of wine after another. After the meal, everyone was drunk and their faces were red, and they could not speak clearly.
At this time, He Tian suddenly stood up with a glass in hand and shouted, "Come on, everyone from the sales department, come over here and toast to Mr. Liu."
Huang Bo rolled his eyes impatiently. They, the leaders, had been drinking happily the whole night, and only remembered these supporting actors when the party was almost over. It was a bit ridiculous.
But after all, it is a big occasion, so dissatisfaction cannot be expressed too obviously.
He turned around and shouted to the other three people, "Come on, Manager He asked us to go up and toast. Who will go up first?"
Zhou Yian quickly and calmly poured out the wine in the glass and replaced it with boiled water.
"No one? Then let's go together." Huang Bo stood up first after he said that, and the other three people followed him and stood up.
Several people lined up and walked towards the customer, Mr. Liu. Huang Bo walked in the first place and Zhou Yian walked in the last place.
He Tian put his arm around Huang Bo's shoulders, looking proud, "Boss Liu, this is Huang Bo, the best salesperson in our sales department." Then he turned his head and looked at Huang Bo, "Come on, Xiao Huang, give a toast to Boss Liu."
Huang Bo held up the wine glass with a fake smile and bent over to toast, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I toast you a glass."
"Okay, okay, okay, you're welcome." Mr. Liu stood up and shook hands with Huang Bo, then drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"Good, Mr. Liu has a good alcohol tolerance." Cheers and applause rang out, and someone at the scene took the lead in clapping and cheering, and the atmosphere became heated.
Soon it was Zhou Yian's turn. Mr. Liu still extended his hand politely, raised his eyes inadvertently, his eyes lit up, and his gaze fixed instantly, staring straight at Zhou Yian.
He Tian pulled Zhou Yian over and said, "Come on, come on. Mr. Liu, this is Xiao Zhou from our business department. Here comes the beautiful lady."
"She is indeed a beauty. It's an honor."
"Hello, Mr. Liu."
Mr. Liu stretched out his hand and held Zhou Yian's, reluctant to let go, rubbing his thumb against her palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhou Yian smiled nervously and secretly pulled his hand out.
"Manager He, this is really unfair of you. You hid such a beautiful lady by yourself."
"No, I'm not hiding anything. I'm Xiao Zhou, a new employee. Mr. Liu will have to take care of me in the future." He gently pushed Zhou Yian and motioned for her to toast. "Come on, Xiao Zhou, you should also toast Mr. Liu."
"Hello, Mr. Liu." Zhou Yian took a sip from the wine glass, unable to suppress the disgust in his heart. It seemed that he could not escape this disgusting drinking culture.
"That won't do. Everyone drinks a glass, and you just took a sip. You have to finish it. If you don't drink it, wouldn't that be disrespecting Mr. Liu?"
A middle-aged man from Mr. Liu's company started to make a fuss, trying to get Zhou Yian to drink a few more glasses.
Zhou Yian raised his head and drank the "wine" in the glass. Several men clapped and cheered in a pretentious manner.
"Come, come, come. It's a rare happy day today. Let's have another drink, beautiful." The man next to her said, ignoring Zhou Yian's refusal, and filled her glass with wine again.
Zhou Yian looked embarrassed, "Boss Liu, Manager He, Boss Chen, I have some health problems and I'm taking medicine. I won't drink this glass of wine."
"Take medicine, and don't drink anymore. I'll drink this glass for Xiao Zhou." He Tian said as he took Zhou Yian's glass and drank it while covering her lip print.
It seemed like a solution, but it made Zhou Yian embarrassed. People who didn't know the situation thought that the two had a good relationship.
Sure enough, Mr. Liu looked as if he understood, and immediately burst into laughter, "Oh, hahahaha, Manager He is protecting your people."
He Tian did not explain, his hand naturally fell on Zhou Yian's shoulder, and he hugged her intimately, "No, no, little girl, you don't know how to drink, let me help you, help you."
The other people in the business department knew He Tian’s character well, and they just smiled coldly without saying anything.
"Thank you, Manager He." Zhou Yian smiled politely, took a step back unnoticeably, got rid of his dirty hands, and returned to his seat.
Fortunately, he didn't do anything excessive.
Time passed quickly as they toasted each other, and they suggested going out for KTV after dinner, feeling unsatisfied.
Zhou Yian looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock. She didn't want to go to this kind of work-related drinking party, so she took out her cell phone to call for help and sent a message to Lin Meng.
[Xiao Meng, call me quickly, they are going to sing karaoke, but I don’t want to go, I want to leave early.]
After sending the message, she turned her cell phone's ringtone to maximum.
Sure enough, after a while, Lin Meng called. Because the ringing sound was too loud, everyone at the scene looked at her. Zhou Yian moved slowly and deliberately let the phone ring for a long time before answering it.
Zhou Yian picked up the phone and deliberately raised his voice, "Mom, what's wrong?"
The sudden word "Mom" made Lin Meng on the other end of the phone burst into laughter. Although Zhou Yian wanted to laugh as well, he didn't dare to show any abnormality and could only endure it.
"Okay, okay, okay, I got it. I'll go back right away." Zhou Yian's words revealed his impatience and anxiety.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll talk to my boss and I'll be back right away. Please wait a moment." She stood up before hanging up the phone, reached for her bag, and looked like she was in a hurry to leave.
Sure enough, He Tian saw Zhou Yian's nervous expression and asked caringly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong at home?"
"Yes, Manager He, something happened at home, so I have to go back first."
"You want to go back first?" He Tian's face instantly showed disappointment.
"It looks like an urgent matter. If you want to go back, then go back first." Mr. Liu at the side spoke up and was very considerate and asked Zhou Yian to go back first.
Mr. Liu had said this, so He Tian couldn't persuade him to stay, and said angrily: "Well, you go first, and be careful on the road."
When he heard he could leave, Zhou Yian hurriedly thanked him, then turned and left, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he walked out of the box.
Several other colleagues who also wanted to go home early could only watch Zhou Yian leave early with envy.
The next day at work, He Tian called Zhou Yian to his office.
"Yi'an, was there any emergency at home yesterday? Has it been dealt with now?" The sudden intimate address made Zhou Yi'an feel uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Manager He, for your concern. I have taken care of it."
"That's good. How did you feel about yesterday's dinner?" He Tian sat seriously behind his desk, staring at Zhou Yian.
Zhou Yian didn't know what He Tian wanted to ask, and looked at him puzzledly, "Manager He, what do you mean?"
He Tian stood up and walked nonchalantly behind Zhou Yian, "Nothing, after you left yesterday, I praised you in front of Mr. Liu, he said... you are very good, and he will place his order with you from now on."
"Originally, Huang Bo and his team also wanted to get the order that Mr. Liu had, but I felt that it was not easy for a little girl like you, so I wanted to help you."
After saying so much, Zhou Yian couldn't guess what He Tian wanted to say to her.
"I know you just arrived and don't have any big clients yet, so I intentionally took you to meet Mr. Liu last night."
"After you left, I specifically mentioned you to General Manager Liu, saying that you are a smart and capable person and I can safely hand over the work to you."
As He Tian was talking, he patted Zhou Yian's shoulder, and his hand stayed on her shoulder for a few seconds intentionally or unintentionally, "You must work hard in the future, so that my expectations of you will not be in vain."
His tone suddenly lowered, and he whispered into her ear: "I also hope that you... behave well."
Although this sentence is short, it gives people a feeling that there is something else behind it.
Is this the legendary unspoken rule in the workplace?
At this point, Zhou Yian finally understood He Tian's purpose in looking for her today. His concern was fake, the conversation was fake, and the real purpose was to take credit for her. The purpose of taking credit was obvious, which was to hint that she should be more human and learn how to curry favor with him.
