After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 91 Managing Upward
"Director, are you looking for me?"

After the regular meeting, Zhou Haoran was called by Director Meng to his independent office.

Meng Xuemin looked at him as if he were a monster. "How did you do that?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "There won't be any surprises now, right?"

Meng Xuemin laughed and said, "Is there still hope of escaping? Even if the director steps in to save him after he makes such a fuss, he won't be able to escape!"

"That's fine."

Zhou Haoran was really afraid that Director Meng would be too soft on his words and would not dare to kill such a difficult opponent.

Meng Xuemin said: "I see Shao Kong is almost going crazy!"

"Who cares if he's crazy or not? As long as the problem is solved, that's all that matters."

Zhou Haoran looks gentle as jade on the surface.

But he has never been a pushover.

In workplace struggles, there is never any such thing as gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty.

He had already remembered the humiliating treatment he received from Shao Kong on the first day.

He wants to grab a spot as an official salesperson.

Taking someone else's spot will offend irrelevant people.

It is only natural to rob Shao Kong!

Meng Xuemin said with emotion, "This is the best way. It can get you and me out of this. Shao Kong was the one who made the mistake this time. Whether he resigned voluntarily or was fired, it's all his own fault. No one else can be blamed!"

Zhou Haoran smiled, "That's not necessarily true. Didn't you hear him? He's been complaining about our Team Leader Zhong!"

Meng Xuemin felt that this boy was really amazing, and said in surprise, "You are trying to divert the trouble away!"

Zhou Haoran didn't care about that. He said casually, "Director, I've done everything I can anyway. If this can keep him here, I think it would be better for you to resign and give me your position."

Meng Xuemin's forehead was filled with black lines.

This doesn't feel like human language.

But there was nothing he could do. He really couldn't act like a leader in front of this kid.

He didn't know that there was a concept of "managing up" in the workplace.

I just think that Zhou Haoran is too talented, full of wisdom and good at solving all kinds of difficult problems. Such an excellent employee should be fully trusted and entrusted with important tasks.

"Sure!" Meng Xuemin was also unambiguous. He had already done so much, and if he still couldn't expel Shao Kong, then his position as director would be in vain. "If you can't expel him, I'll give you the position!"

……

Tomorrow is Sunday.

It is the last day of this month.

According to the arrangement of Grandpa Zhang in the alley, Zhou Haoran was to go to the Bund to find a red-house teahouse and help him with something...

If it were just to help, that would be fine.

Grandpa Zhang is the elder.

He is highly respected in the alley, so it is only natural to do some work for him, and he should do his best to do it well.

However, to get to the Red Mansion Teahouse, you need to use some underworld connections.

This is scary.

What era is this?

Why are there still remnants of the underworld culture of the old society?

Zhou Haoran made a bold guess.

Grandpa Zhang came from the Republic of China. Considering the tattoo patterns on his body, he was probably in a local gang in Huangpu Beach... He was probably an undercover agent there.

Otherwise, why would we use the underworld term?
This so-called Red Mansion Teahouse might contain some gang remnants left over from the old society of the Republic of China.

Zhou Haoran was somewhat afraid.

Planning to go home.

Go find Grandpa Zhang and learn some more of the underworld jargon.

What if I go to a teahouse and say the wrong incision?

If the secret code doesn't match, it will be like how Zuo Yandiao treated Yang Zirong. If the secret code is wrong, you will be beheaded. That would be terrible.

Before going back, I went to inform Qingmei first. "Hello sister, please help me find Qiao Suiqing."

Zhou Haoran saw a beautiful and arrogant woman at the door of the "Family Gossip" program office and asked her for help.

The woman was wearing a red dress and had slightly curled hair, looking fashionable and beautiful.

Very urban and beautiful style.

She just has a bad temper and glanced at him coldly.

Ignore him at all.

Zhou Haoran was embarrassed. Just then, a camera crew member came over and saw him. He smiled and said, "Zhou Haoran, right? Looking for your sister? I'll go get her for you!"

Qiao Suiqing was wearing a white dress.

She was much prettier than the cold woman from before, but her demeanor was somewhat lacking. This was mainly because her attire was too plain, especially her skirt, which wasn't high-end enough to highlight her temperament and image.

"Haoran, are you looking for me?"

Qiao Suiqing has picturesque features and is naturally beautiful. Even though she looks simple, she is more radiant than the cold woman just now.

Zhou Haoran asked curiously, "Who was that woman just now?"

"Who?"

Qiao Suiqing didn't pay attention to the door.

Zhou Haoran said, "The one in the red skirt seemed very cold. Her name on the employee badge was Hu or something, but I glanced at her and couldn't see clearly."

"Oh, Hu Xiaochen!" Qiao Suiqing pursed her lips. "Yes, her personality is not very pleasing. She is a strong woman, the leader of the second editing and directing team. What do you want to see her about?"

"I don't know her." Zhou Haoran shook his head and said seriously, "Sister Qingmei, I have two things to tell you."

"it is good."

"First, I'll take a bus back to the county in a bit. When you get off work tonight, go back to the apartment by yourself. Be careful."

"I can do it. I was alone before."

Qiao Suiqing tucked her hair in, not worried at all. The apartment complex was home to dozens of Red Star TV colleagues, and since it was the busiest area, safety was guaranteed.

Zhou Haoran said, "Second thing, tomorrow is the weekend, go shopping with Bai Panyang or some other friend. It's time to get your salary, so go pick out some nice cosmetics and buy a few high-end new dresses."

Qiao Suiqing was unhappy, "Why are you wasting money again?"

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "If you don't buy it, I'll take you to buy it when I come back. You'll only spend more then! If you don't want to spend money, just buy it yourself and don't give me a chance to buy it."

"This is the workplace, stop making trouble."

Qiao Suiqing was both angry and amused, and patted his arm coquettishly.

Zhou Haoran whispered, "You're a host, how important is your image? There are other women who are more outstanding than you, how can this be? Clothes make the man, you have to outshine the others!"

"Stop coming!"

Qiao Suiqing rolled his eyes.

Zhou Haoran said, "Anyway, I've assigned you a task. I'll check it when I get back! Men are responsible for the outside world, and women are responsible for the inside world. Your external image is considered an 'external matter', so you have to obey me."

Qiao Suiqing was amused by his words and said angrily, "Hurry up and go to the station! It will be dark soon!"

……

Before going home, Zhou Haoran had to reset the pager information first.

The other party is Manager Wang from the electric kettle factory.

During this period of contact, the friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper.

"Consultant Zhou, what's going on with our boss?"

Manager Wang was very anxious.

Zhou Haoran was not anxious at all and pretended to sigh, "Boss Yang doesn't want to see me, there's nothing I can do."

Manager Wang said unhappily, "It's been so long, and you haven't even met him?"

Zhou Haoran smiled, "Manager Wang, I've noticed this too. We can't be too hasty. When I have time, I'll visit the factory a few more times. Maybe one day when Boss Yang is in a better mood, he'll be willing to see me."

"I'll tell you in secret, there's a good opportunity now!"

Manager Wang spoke mysteriously.

It seemed as if he was telling him a business secret that could not be revealed.
