Chapter 56 Too similar
Looking at the empty drawers, Xu Boan subconsciously doubted himself.
Could I have remembered it wrong?
With this year in mind, Xu Boan quickly looked through the other drawers and folders on his desk that could hold files.
Nothing found.
Could it be that when Xiao Tang was cleaning up his room just now, he kept it in the cabinet for the sake of neatness and beauty?
Xu Boan stood up again and searched the glass cabinet in the office from top to bottom.
Still nothing found.
Xu Boan finally understood that the envelope with the photo was not that he remembered the wrong place, but that it was really missing.
There is no doubt that Xu Bo'an's first suspect is Xiao Tang, who was cleaning up his office just now.
But this is not necessarily the case, it is also possible that other people came in before Xiao Tang came.
It’s just that Xu Bo’an couldn’t figure it out at all, what was the person holding the photo thinking?
Someone put this photo here for no apparent reason.
Xu Bo'an was puzzled. The best way to explain it is that someone wanted to use this "honey trap" to test himself as a newly appointed leader.
But it’s unjustifiable if someone takes this away.
Could it be that someone wants to collect information about me?
No way! It’s not a feudal society, so it’s okay to look at two rather voluptuous photos, right?
Or maybe the person who is trying to trick me thinks that I, Xu Boan, am strong-willed and not the kind of person who can be corrupted? So you don’t want to use the “honey trap” anymore?
This doesn’t make sense. If you don’t test me seriously, how could you come to such an arbitrary conclusion?
How irresponsible!
And it’s just a few photos, so there’s no need to use this method to take them back, right?
After thinking for a while with no result, Xu Boan didn’t take it seriously.
This is not a big deal, there is no need to waste any more brain cells.
There are cameras on every floor of the company's office building. It won't be too late to ask someone to check the surveillance video later to see who has been here, and then do analysis.
Xu Boan was thinking about asking someone to adjust the surveillance when the office phone rang.
Xu Boan was quite curious. He had not thought about this landline several times in the past three months.
When your subordinates come to you, they always report to you.
The superiors in the company may call you if they want to, but during the three months that Xu Boan has been awkwardly serving as the deputy chief engineer in the company, no one has called him at all.
As for the phone number at the head office, only the business director will contact you.
I can’t get in touch with Xu Boan at all.
Therefore, Xu Boan was quite surprised when the phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, it was a short number within the group company, but it did not end with numbers like 001 or 002.
After Xu Boan answered the phone, he simply said "hmm", which only meant that he had answered the phone.
First there was a burst of hearty laughter from the other side of the phone.
Then a stream of Mandarin mixed with the distinctive Dongjiang native pronunciation came out from the microphone.
"Boanna, I am Mr. Xu from a company."
Usually, in formal occasions, when the other party introduces himself.
If you are very specific about your work unit and department position, then the other party must be someone whose position is lower than yours.
But if the other party simply adds their name or title directly after the company unit or department.
Then please note that this person is most likely the person in power in this unit and department.
Xu Boan instantly analyzed the other party's identity.
One Company is the abbreviation within the group company of Dongjiang First Construction Company, a subsidiary of Dongjiang Construction Group.
Old Xu? The only person in the company who can introduce himself like this is definitely General Manager Xu Jiang.
After analyzing the identity of the other party, Xu Boan changed his coldness and immediately laughed twice and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, you are now from our second company. Now that you are a family member, you don’t want to say that you are from the same company, otherwise the brothers may think you are partial.”
Xu Jiang said modestly: “Hey, what’s your name, Mr. Xu? Don't be so polite. My old arms and legs are ready to retire. What kind of family do I want to be? Next, my main task is to do a good job in ensuring that our big family, the second company, can work under your leadership, brother. Next, we will create greater glory again.” Only by doing your job can you feel more at ease.”
“Oh, that’s so rewarding. Bo’an, I’m calling you this time to say sorry.”
No. Continuing to talk nonsense with Xu Bo'an, he was ready to get down to business.
Xu Boan reached out and grabbed the pen and paper, prepared to record the key points, and then said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you have anything to do, just ask me. Don't be so polite to your brothers."
Xu Jiang sighed and said helplessly: "It's like this. My brother's family has been in some trouble recently. It's a mess now. I'm afraid I won't be able to take up my post for a while. Things in the company, I really don’t have the energy to worry about it anymore, I have to worry about you, brother.”
Soon, Xu Jiang briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter to Xu Boan.
It turns out that Xu Jiang’s son was accidentally electrocuted and fell into the water while fishing in a newly discovered wild pond a few days ago.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted passerby discovered it in time and saved a life.
Xu Jiang’s lover became anxious when he heard this. His high blood pressure suddenly increased and he fainted.
There were three people in the family, and two of them were admitted to the hospital at once.
Hearing that Xu Jiang had encountered such a tragic incident, Xu Boyan couldn't help but feel ashamed.
At first, he thought that Xu Jiang was being polite to him on purpose, or because he didn't want to be a figurehead here, so he avoided the spotlight and refused to join the second company.
When I heard Xu Jiang say that he was so sad that he started to cry, I realized that most of what he said was true.
So, I became the number one by chance?
"Brother, don't worry about the company's affairs. I'll just take care of the daily work. When I encounter something important, I'll take the time to ask for your instructions. You try your best to take care of your family. If you need anything, I and the company can help. Please give instructions at any time."
Xu Jiang didn't have the time to talk to Xu Bo'an, so he hung up the phone after a few words.
What was I going to do just now?
Xu Boan put down the phone and thought for a moment.
Just when I thought of "looking for something", I heard a knock on the door.
“Mr. The top leader, even though he hates Liu Wei, Xu Bo'an can't help but work.
“Come in!”
After Liu Wei twisted her steps in, she placed a soft-cover notebook on the table.
"Mr. Xu, this is the latest version of our company's personnel strength statistics. Please take a look."
The so-called personnel strength refers to the more detailed files of registered personnel.
Xu Boan and his branch company do not have a dedicated human resources department, and related business is centralized in the office.
Xu Boan flipped through the soft-cover book casually, subconsciously scanning the contents without saying a word.
Liu Wei continued: "Also, the small glass bottles with stoppers that you told us to purchase have been returned. Do you want to bring them up or put them directly in your car?"
Although some things were purchased in the name of the unit, they may not actually be used in the unit, so such questions are not redundant.
Xu Boan nodded slightly and said: "Bring them all up, by the way, and also, go find someone to help check..."
Before Xu Boan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly stopped at on the resume sheet that is open to one page.
Like, so similar!
That’s her!
Thanks to Bandage, Liuli, Traveling, and Shenguizhu for their tips. I will continue to read and ask for votes. Recently, fewer people have praised me, and my motivation has waned. Instead, everyone praises the author. Bacteria. By the way, thanks to Fafazi and several other book friends for helping me find typos.
