Chapter 1 The lateness storm

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qingcheng was snowing heavily.

Meng Chunqiu drove to the company in a hurry. Today is the handover between the old and new leaders, so you must not be late.

I received a notice when I was about to get off work yesterday that the regional manager Guan Xiao was transferred to the Xinjiang factory as the production planning manager, and the former Taiyuan regional manager Gu Chaoxi was transferred to Qingcheng.

They only have one day today to hand over. Last night, all the audit and inspection personnel from the headquarters were sent.

Since the new chairman Han Qiang took office, he has been decisive and never dragged his feet. Personnel appointments are also swift and resolute. No one is given time to prepare.

Guan Xiaos position was demoted, and Gu Chaoxi was transferred to the same level.

The cause of the incident was that the headquarters found two bottles of expired beverages in a small supermarket in Qingcheng during an inspection last week.

This has risen to a quality issue, and the problem is very serious. Guan Xiao was directly demoted.

The snow was too heavy, and Meng Chunqiu drove very slowly. She had left home half an hour earlier than usual. She regretted driving herself and should have taken a taxi.

When turning left at the Daxing intersection, she suddenly found that she was driving in the opposite direction. She was panicked and just wanted to turn around, but she saw the traffic police in front! She hurriedly stepped on the brakes but found that the car rushed towards the traffic police!

Meng Chunqius mind was blank. Realizing that she had mistaken the accelerator for the brake, she quickly released the accelerator and stepped on the brake hard. The car stopped just one meter in front of the traffic police!

Meng Chunqiu didnt understand why the traffic police didnt dodge. What if she couldnt react?

The traffic police was so calm, standing there expressionless and motionless, like a tall pine tree.

Meng Chunqiu was ashamed.

Some people around were ready to watch the drama.

Meng Chunqiu hurriedly opened the car door and got out of the car in a hurry: "Uncle police, I was wrong. I was really wrong. I saw the police uncle and I mistook the accelerator for the brake!"

The traffic police said: "I thought you and I had some deep hatred. Drivers license, vehicle license!"

Meng Chunqiu nodded and took out the certificate.

"Going against the flow, a fine of 200 yuan and three points deducted. The car is parked on the side and the traffic rules are memorized."

Meng Chunqiu paid the fine and said: "Uncle police, can you let me go to work first? Today is the first day of our new leaders appointment. I cant be late. I..."

The traffic police didnt look at her and calmly directed the car in front.

Meng Chunqiu obediently took out her mobile phone, searched for traffic rules and read them out loud: Not wearing a seat belt, 3 points, fined 100 yuan! Making a phone call while driving, 3 points, fined 100 yuan! Smoking while driving, 1 point, fined 100 yuan...

After ten minutes, the traffic police ignored her and had no intention of letting her go.

She looked at her watch, stamped her feet, squatted on the ground and cried.

The traffic police frowned: "I didnt do anything to you, you hit me early in the morning and I didnt say anything, why are you crying?"

Meng Chunqiu cried out of breath.

She covered her face with her hands and howled dryly, because she had no tears. Although women in this world are not as strong as men, they always have some tricks to survive.

Meng Chunqiu is petite, fair-skinned, with a pair of clear big eyes. At this time, she cried very touchingly, and her cry immediately softened the hearts of many onlookers.

More and more people gathered around.

"Okay, you go. In this kind of weather, you must drive carefully!" The traffic police frowned and finally relented.

Meng Chunqiu entered the office door on time.

The morning meeting had already begun.

She saw the stranger sitting in the middle of the conference table at a glance. He had a square face, white complexion, and a tall stature. It must be Gu Chaoxi. He had deep double eyelids, a high nose, and deep eyes. Sitting there, he took up a lot of space and was imposing.

He looked at Meng Chunqiu expressionlessly.

Guan Xiao sat next to him, leaning against the back of the chair, and asked lightly: "Its snowing, is there a traffic jam?"

Meng Chunqiu said: "Well, I was in a hurry and took the wrong lane and was caught by the traffic police."

Guan Xiao was tall and thin, with a slightly dark complexion. He was usually a very aura person. Maybe because he was demoted and left, and Gu Chaoxi was the owner here, he was a little depressed, as if he had not woken up.

On both sides of the table sat the inspectors and auditors, and she knew them all.

In the workplace, people who arrive on time are actually the most hated. Most of the latecomers have reasons. Hardworking employees will arrive early, while those who arrive on time are basically lazy. Meng Chunqiu also hates this kind of people.

But she was just an accident today. She rushed into the office on time at a sprint speed.

"Hello, leaders, hello everyone." Meng Chunqiu greeted.

"Are you Meng Chunqiu?" Gu Chaoxi smiled, but his tone was cold.

"Yes, Mr. Gu." Meng Chunqiu nodded.

Before Gu Chaoxi came, he had heard about the three capable female generals under Guan Xiao, Meng Chunqiu, He Li, and Yin Qing.

Meng Chunqiu is the marketing manager, He Li is the sales manager of the first department, and Yin Qing is the human resources manager.

He knows Yin Qing, who is his schoolmate. After he decided to transfer to Qingcheng, he had already talked to Yin Qing on the phone and learned about the situation here.

Yin Qing said that the person Guan Xiao trusted the most was Meng Chunqiu. Yin Qing said it very obscurely, and everyone has always paid more attention to the subtext.

He would not leave a time bomb around him. So he had already decided Meng Chunqius fate before he met her.

Of course, he did not believe all of Yin Qings words, but Meng Chunqiu actually came later than him. Was this a disguised protest?

In fact, it would be easy for Guan Xiao to disintegrate these three trusted generals. If he wins over one and strikes one, the other will naturally be honest. This is his experience in management for so many years.

At the meeting, everyone listed their unfinished business and clarified the responsibilities and time points of the two leaders.

The handover was completed in one morning. According to regulations, Guan Xiao must report to the Xinjiang factory in the afternoon. It takes five hours to fly, and it is estimated that it will be evening when he arrives.

At noon, they had a meal together to welcome the new leader and say goodbye to the old leader. While everyone was welcoming the new leader, they also mentioned the old leader.

People from various departments kept a safe distance from the old leader.

Especially Yin Qing. The waiter brought a dish, and Yin Qing always reached out to take it and put it in front of Gu Chaoxi: "Boss Gu, this is a specialty of Qingcheng, please try it..."

All the dishes were ordered by Yin Qing.

Guan Xiao is usually the best to Yin Qing. Meng Chunqiu used to joke with He Li about being jealous of Yin Qing.

Although it is human nature to protect oneself, Meng Chunqiu really cant stand Yin Qings obvious behavior.

Guan Xiao said to Yin Qing: "The house I live in is rented by the company. Boss Gu can continue to live there. My luggage was packed yesterday, and I cant take it all away today. Please send the rest to Xinjiang for me."

Yin Qing said: "Let Meng Chunqiu send it. Meng Chunqiu is close."

Guan Xiao said: "This is the responsibility of the personnel administration. Why let Meng Chunqiu send it?"

Gu Chaoxi smiled and said in a joking tone: "I dare not live in Boss Guans house. Who knows if you owe any other debts? What if someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night? I will stay in a hotel first. Yin Qing, start looking for a house for me now."
