Chen Xu first went to Old Wang and told him that he agreed to be transferred to the new department. These things should be told to his direct supervisor first.
Then he thanked Old Wang for his care over the past year.
"To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to let you go." Old Wang patted him on the shoulder and said with a half-joking smile, "It's almost the end of the year, the busiest time. If you leave, we'll be very busy."
"However, you have a better future, and I can't hold you back."
Chen Xu smiled, not knowing how to respond. To be honest, Old Wang was a good person and could be considered a good supervisor.
Old Wang suggested, "How about this, to celebrate your move to the new department, let's have a dinner party tonight, everyone goes."
Chen Xu quickly dismissed his idea and advised, "Director, it's better not to, it's too high-profile."
Old Wang thought it made sense. The whole company was watching the establishment of the new department, and such fanfare would indeed have a bad impact. He said with some regret, "What a pity, we must make it up next time."
"Okay, okay." Chen Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had never seen someone who liked dinner parties so much.
"Let's go, say goodbye to your colleagues." Old Wang led him out.
When Old Wang announced to the colleagues in the Advertising Department that Chen Xu had been transferred to the new department, they were all surprised. Some were envious, some were jealous, and there were all kinds of reactions.
Everyone congratulated him, whether sincerely or insincerely, no one said anything strange. They just clamored for him to treat them to a meal.
Chen Xu could only say that he would remember it for next time.
After a while of commotion, everyone dispersed, only Old Tang was still beside him. Chen Xu knew that among these people, probably only Old Tang was genuinely happy for him.
Soon, lunch break arrived.
Chen Xu and Old Tang went to their usual restaurant together.
"About your job change?" Old Tang asked in a low voice when he saw that there were no acquaintances around.
Chen Xu said, "I'm not changing, I'll just keep doing this for now."
Old Tang nodded, then said with some emotion, "Old Liu and Old Guo both went to Old Wang to apply for a transfer to the new department. Old Wang asked them to write applications, but they were rejected by the Personnel Department. I didn't expect you to get it done so quietly."
Chen Xu then understood why these two people looked so ugly just now, and said, "Actually, I'm also confused, why would they choose me?"
Old Tang pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because your resume is cleaner."
"What do you mean?" Chen Xu was a little puzzled.
"I'm just guessing." Old Tang said, "Director Liu was parachuted in from above last year. There were rumors that he was here to take over President Zhou's position. This time, the establishment of the new department was strongly promoted by Director Liu, he definitely wants to achieve some results. People like you with a cleaner resume are naturally the best choice."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xu felt that his analysis made sense after listening to it.
"However, you have to be careful after going to the new department." Old Tang reminded him, "The establishment of the new department has caused such a stir, I always feel that something might happen."
Chen Xu nodded. Actually, some things are not difficult to guess. Previously, President Zhou had the final say in the company. However, since Director Liu was parachuted in, the situation has been different. In the past year, the heads of many departments have been replaced. This is the rhythm of seizing power. Can President Zhou tolerate it? However, these things had nothing to do with him before, and now they have even less to do with him. He doesn't really care.
After lunch, Chen Xu returned to the company and began to pack his personal belongings to report to the new department.
The company was rich and generous, the entire floor belonged to their company. The Advertising Department was in the northwest corner, while the new department was on the southeast side. He had been working here for almost two years and had never been to this side.
When he arrived, a new sign had already been hung up. It was not the Marketing Department as rumored, but the "Electronic Sales Department".
There were a few people in the office, probably his new colleagues. He knocked on the door, walked in, and introduced himself.
After that, new colleagues kept coming in.
Chen Xu watched coldly and found that most of the people who came were young people, and few were over thirty years old.
When everyone was there, he counted, including himself, there were a total of fourteen people.
Soon, Director Liu also showed up, along with someone Chen Xu didn't expect, Luo Xiyun.
He suddenly remembered that she and Director Liu had been parachuted in at about the same time. It wouldn't be strange for them to cooperate.
Director Liu took everyone to the conference room for a meeting.
Director Liu's name was Liu Kun, thirty-four or five years old, quite handsome, and had good eloquence. He stood there and talked eloquently. Chen Xu looked at him with some envy. In the past, what he most yearned for was to become such a successful person. People like Liu Kun were his goal.
Unfortunately, the cruel reality made him clear that he could not become someone like Liu Kun. He couldn't see his abilities, but he graduated from a famous university and had studied abroad. Just this point, he couldn't compare.
You know, his starting point was a famous investment bank abroad. After working for a few years, he jumped to a company to work. He was only in his thirties and already qualified to take over the CEO position of a large company.
Soon, Chen Xu suppressed these chaotic thoughts and listened attentively. Before long, he understood what this new department was for.
Liu Kun planned to establish an online channel to expand the supermarket's customer base. To put it bluntly, it was to do e-commerce.
Specifically, the first step was to rely on the company's ten chain supermarkets to provide home delivery services within a certain range.
Everyone was a young person who often shopped online, so it was easy to understand.
Next, Liu Kun began to arrange work and positions for everyone. Chen Xu's job content was similar to before, still in advertising. This relieved him. He was familiar with these things and could immediately start working.
Finally, there was Luo Xiyun, who was still the director, but had become the director of the Electronic Sales Department. After all, Liu Kun was the company's vice president and had many other things to do, so it was impossible for him to always be here. When he was not around, Luo Xiyun had the final say.
Although Chen Xu had a premonition, he still frowned. She had actually become his immediate boss.
Next, it was Luo Xiyun's turn to speak.
Chen Xu saw a Luo Xiyun who was completely different from the one in the Dream Realm, that confidence, that strength, that focus. It made his heart waver a little.
Was the her in reality really the same person as the her in the Dream Realm? The meeting lasted for an entire afternoon.
After work, Liu Kun suggested that the entire department go out to dinner together to celebrate the establishment of the new department.
Naturally, no one would object.
