Chapter 1189 The Fat Boy with a Daddy Style
'Big taboo in the workplace'?
Imanda had never looked at the problem from this perspective.

But this afternoon in the office, this was the first sentence Kong Ziqian said to Carol, which made her realize it belatedly.

Carol should have informed her direct supervisor before lending herself to him.

Similarly, you should also inform your direct supervisor where you are going.

However, at this moment, Imanda's heart was also full of grievances and resentments.

As for the stinky face that Kong Ziqian gave her at that time in the past two weeks, did she dare to say anything? !

Kong Ziqian, who was totally unaware of the situation, paused and continued, "You can't always put yourself in such a difficult position and do jobs that don't belong to you.

If you do this, people will only think that you are easy to bully, and in the future more people will be like Carol and put the blame on you.

You have to learn to say no and learn to protect yourself."

Imanda bit her lip and glanced at the door of the box helplessly.

At this time, Kong Ziqian sighed, "I know you want to quickly integrate into the group and get along well with everyone.

And...you probably think this way in your heart, and feel that this is how a newcomer should be: he should do whatever others ask him to do, otherwise he will offend others.

Right? "

Imanda, who was a little absent-minded, couldn't help but nodded when she heard this.

Seeing that she finally showed some interaction, Kong Ziqian also smiled.

"There is an unwritten rule in the workplace that new employees who have just joined the company have to do odd jobs for a period of time, such as serving tea, sending and receiving express deliveries, and copying and organizing documents.

This is a stage that almost every newcomer has to go through.

By doing these things, your leader will observe whether you are a careful person, whether you can get along well with others, and whether you can take on important tasks.

So these are the things we have to do.”

Imanda looked at the little fat boy in front of her with some confusion in her eyes. He was obviously in lecturing mode.

She felt that what the fat boy said made sense, but...

It sounded very discordant to her.

On the one hand, he was three years older than Confucius Qian, but at this moment he was being bullied by a younger brother.

on the other hand……

Hearing what he said, Imanda couldn't help but feel a little strange. As the roommate of Yanhuang Xiaoqing, why would he have such an idea?

Does he need to do this?
I don't think it's necessary.

So how did he know these ideas?
“It has to be done, but the leader has not made it clear how long it should be done and when it should end, and the company has no clear regulations.

As a result, some people have been doing odd jobs since day one, because they are used to doing it and others are used to ordering them around. "

Imanda felt that Kong Ziqian was pointing at her.

“So, as new employees, what should we do?

Do you obediently follow the orders of the senior employees, or do you turn a blind eye to the instructions of your predecessors?"

At this point, Kong Ziqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, both ideas are right and wrong.

It takes time for new employees to enter a new place and integrate into a new group. In order to get familiar with the new environment and integrate into everyone as soon as possible, they must do odd jobs.

So, we come to the company to work, not to serve them tea or run errands.

Therefore, we should refuse the instructions of our predecessors at the right time and not just be a good person. "

At this moment, staring into Imanda's eyes, who had obviously heard him, Kong Ziqian felt secretly happy.

Sure enough, the boss's way of persuasion, which is to explain things irresponsibly and make you think more, is the most effective.

So, when Imanda couldn't help asking, "What is the right time, what is the right refusal?", Kong Ziqian smiled.

"First look at the time, second look at the content, and third look at the requirements."

Holding up three fingers, he began to talk about them one by one.

“Look at the time, which means the time we entered the company.

If you have just joined the company for two days and have not yet integrated into the company, in order to show respect to your seniors and to get to know the person better, generally try not to refuse.

Although people will understand each other sooner or later, why should we take a week to understand something that can be understood in a day?

Isn't that a waste of time?

However, if we have been in the company for some time and our leader has officially assigned us work, we must learn to say no.

It's not that we are going to burn the bridge after crossing it, but time is limited.

If you spend your time on work, you won't have much time to spend on small things.

If you use the time that could be used for work to serve them, you are putting the cart before the horse.

Moreover, if you keep agreeing to do such trivial things for them, you will become a worthless person over time.

The company recruits us to create value for the company. The greater the value you create, the greater your role will be.

On the contrary, how long can a person whose leader cannot see his value stay in the company?
The answer is self-evident.”

"The second is to look at the content, which means to look at the content of what he asked you to help do.

If she just wants you to get her a glass of water or order takeout, let her move around on her own.

Because you are not a tea girl, nor a maid. Besides, this kind of thing should be done by yourself.

However, if he wants you to help him photocopy or organize documents, then go for it, because this is a rare learning opportunity.

You see, these documents may not be shown to you even if you want to. Many documents contain a lot of important information, or a mature copy, which are all things a newcomer to the workplace needs to learn.

Although these tasks are tedious and may even require overtime, this work is meaningful and can exercise your abilities and increase your knowledge, so it is worth it even if it takes some effort.

Moreover, these are jobs, you are contributing to the company, which can reflect your value and prove that your salary is not in vain.

Only by doing valuable things can you become a valuable person. Don’t put your energy into meaningless things. "

"Third, look at the rationality of the request. Some colleagues or leaders will make unreasonable requests to employees. At this time, no matter how new you are, you must clearly refuse to avoid future troubles.

Set a bottom line for yourself. Once someone tries to cross your bottom line, you must make it clear that you don't like it.

Don’t underestimate this. If you are afraid of offending people, especially leaders, and are afraid that they will make things difficult for you, and you tolerate their unreasonable demands with a smile, then they will become more and more excessive.”

When Imanda heard this, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

This little fat guy...

Did he know that in her heart he was the over-the-top leader...

Unaware of himself, Kong Xiaopang concluded, "Imanda, remember, many new employees in the workplace tend to fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that being a nice person might make them more popular.

Little do you know that even if everyone likes you, your leader may not like you anymore.

The good guys seem to be all-rounders, and everyone calls them, but their status in their hearts is worthless, because they can do those things themselves.

When it comes time for layoffs, such people have no advantages and will be the first to be eliminated.

Do things that are meaningful to yourself, do things that contribute to the company, find your position correctly, do what you should do, and firmly refuse to do what you shouldn't do.

Only with clear edges and corners can you quickly gain a foothold. "

Kong Ziqian didn't know that when he started speaking, Imanda, who was sitting in front of him, was very frightened and worried that he would force a showdown.

At this moment, listening to his words, her original nervousness gradually disappeared without a trace.

She listened to Kong Ziqian's words, but also fell silent.

Although the fat boy in front of her was only a sophomore, through what she had just said, Imanda had to admit that this fat boy's understanding of the workplace and social rules was far superior to hers.

Well, in front of him, she was just like an ignorant school girl.

Maybe, a man can’t look at his age on his ID card…

And this Kong Xiaopang is not the childish boy he appears to be, but a man with mature thinking and insights...

the man.

Imanda sighed softly, recalling the scene when she first joined the company.

At that time, she was thinking about how to integrate into this new environment and how to get along well with her colleagues.

She naively believed that as long as she worked harder and helped others more, she would be able to win everyone's love and recognition.

However, reality dealt her a heavy blow.

Her kindness and diligence did not win the respect of her colleagues. Instead, they regarded her as a good person and ordered her around at will. She had to take endless express deliveries, get endless coffee, post endless receipts, sort out endless files, and copy endless contracts...

But Kong Ziqian, a boy younger than her, pointed out the problem very clearly.

He told her that not everyone in the workplace would be as kind as she was.

In other words, she is not qualified to have everyone be kind to her.

Seeing that Imanta was deep in thought, Kong Ziqian stopped preaching and waited quietly for her to digest and understand.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip, looking calmly at Imanda in front of him.

The more I watch it, the more I like it, and the more I watch it, the more excited I am.

Naturally, Imanda could not fail to feel this unreserved gaze.

In fact, Confucius Ziqian’s gaze was like this before, straightforward and unevasive, passionate and gentle.

However, in the past, she always looked at him with caution and vigilance.

However, at this moment, she was surprised to find that she did not feel much disgusted by his burning gaze.

Why is this?

Maybe it was the warm smile of this fat boy when we first met...

Perhaps, it was because her senior sister said some time ago that Kong Ziqian really liked her, which made her subconsciously start to re-evaluate this junior from a foreign country...

Perhaps, it was because she saw a different side of Kong Ziqian today that her impression of him changed...

But I have to say that Kong Ziqian in the office in the afternoon looked particularly manly in her eyes!

The man who was willing to protect her no matter what, also made Imanta see a different side of him.

I'm a little moved...

Thinking of this, Imanda's face turned a little hot.

She stole a glance at Kong Ziqian, but was met with his gaze. She lowered her head quickly like a frightened deer.

After being stared at by Imanda, Kong Ziqian felt his heart beating faster and swallowed his saliva.

The man and the woman were silent, and the atmosphere began to become awkward, but a charming atmosphere was slowly brewing between the two.

Imanda's heart beat faster and faster, and she could even clearly feel the burning temperature on her cheeks.

She quickly spoke up to break the atmosphere, sighing softly, "School is still simple, the workplace is too complicated."

Kong Ziqian didn't let the words drop. He shrugged his shoulders and followed her words.

“The school is good. The most comfortable time for me in my freshman year was when I had no classes on Friday afternoons, which was a two-and-a-half-day holiday.

I don’t have a part-time job at the Yanhuang Group headquarters, and I don’t have to worry about my studies. After dinner, I go back to the dormitory and sleep until the evening, watching the sunset on the balcony. Then I call my roommates to go to the cafeteria for dinner and have a bottle of iced cola. We discuss whether we should play Warcraft or CS together tonight.

After dinner, I went to the school gate to buy some fruit. Looking at the bustling crowd, I saw the youthful atmosphere and no worries at all..."

He paused and continued, "But I know very well that I have to eat, start a family, and support my family in the future. I have to step out of this comfort zone."

At this point, Kong Ziqian touched his nose, and then said with a serious expression, "Looking back at my freshman year now, I just feel that time flies by, and at that time I thought it was just normal."

Imanda raised her head and looked at him with a complicated expression. She said, "Why does it sound a bit like a successful person complaining about his success?"

Kong Ziqian smiled and said, "Don't think that my success today is all due to the care of my roommate."

After saying this, he shook his head again and continued, “Of course, I must admit that there is care.

He changed my destiny, but my present status is not entirely due to his care.

Imanda, I entered the workplace less than a month after my freshman year.

But you know, the situation I faced at the time was actually one person per department, and there was even one person in the company who was responsible for the affairs of several departments..."

Imanda cried out, somewhat incredulous.

But I have to believe it.

Xiaoqing's affairs are very transparent on the Internet. It can be said that his success is witnessed by the Internet generation.

Kong Ziqian's face showed a look of reminiscence, "At that time, the Yanhuang Group had just walked out of Western Shu and entered Huating.

In many departments, except for a person in charge, there are no subordinates.

And the boss... you will know later, he is a completely qualified hands-off boss.

As soon as I started working, he asked me to go and handle the industrial and commercial registration.

How can I understand these procedures? I can only ask around.

At that time, I was looked down upon by the uncles and aunts from the industrial and commercial departments because I was wearing sportswear.

They all treated me like a kid, saying I was a little brat whose hair hadn’t even grown out yet, and asked me to call an adult.”

Imanta understood a little bit. No wonder the little fat boy dressed so maturely now.

They are all the result of being beaten.

but……

Imanda didn't know why, but her brain suddenly twitched and she followed his words and blurted out a complaint, "You are still a little kid who hasn't even grown all your hair yet, right?"

But as soon as she said this, Imanda lowered her head again in shame.

At this moment, her face was burning hot.

Imanda cursed herself in her heart for being out of her mind, but for some reason, she also felt a little resentful towards Kong Ziqian.

She originally thought that Kong Ziqian would take the opportunity to confess his feelings, or at least make some ambiguous moves.

However, this little fat boy was only full of boyfriend power for a moment in the office, but now he seemed to have wilted and was instead reasoning with her like a middle-aged old man.

Well, she did lack fatherly love since childhood, but it was not necessary for a junior who was two years younger than her to act as her father.

This made her feel a little amused and helpless, and at the same time, she also felt a little resentful.

She remembered that her senior sister had said before that Kong Ziqian really liked her, respected her very much, and was very simple-minded, without the dirty thoughts of those men in society.

She didn't quite believe it at that time.

But now, seeing Kong Ziqian's performance in the cafe, she began to waver.

Although this little fat boy sometimes seems very mature, he sometimes acts like a child and is hard to understand.

She didn't know what her feelings towards him were, but one thing was certain: her impression of him had changed.

Feeling is a wonderful thing.

She didn't know whether she liked Kong Ziqian or just had a good impression of him, but she knew that she no longer hated him as much as before.

but……

Doesn’t this fat boy with a stupid brain know how to confess his feelings or say something ambiguous?

Thinking of this, Imanda's mood became a little complicated.

She felt that Kong Ziqian really didn't understand women's hearts. If he could be a little more proactive, perhaps she would give him a chance.

But now, she could only sigh silently in her heart, thinking that this little fat boy was so stupid.

What a great opportunity, while I am so emotional and touched...

fool!
Coward!
stupid!
Imanda took a deep breath, raised her head bravely, and stared at Kong Ziqian with a hint of determination and curiosity in her eyes. "Why... are you so nice to me?"

After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength and lowered her head again, stirring her water cup unconsciously with the straw in her hand.

Kong Ziqian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then his face turned red like a ripe apple.

What's happening here? !

He pulled his thigh hard, trying to calm his restless heart.

However, sadly, the method that has worked every time suddenly failed today.

Kong Ziqian's heart beat faster and faster. After a long while, he stammered, "I... let you come to work at Yanhuang Group because your expertise is really helpful to my work.

On the other hand… on the other hand, I do sympathize with your situation.”

The boss said that if you don’t want to be a bootlicker, you have to be more roundabout and make the girls unable to control themselves!
So, Kong Ziqian decided to struggle.
