Caught in a trap
The most regrettable thing for me now is not that the company is facing disintegration, not that I have been trapped by a mistress, but that I have lost a loyal and good partner, a thoughtful and intelligent business talent, who is Akang, the hero who helped me start the company. We were originally a good pair of partners, and we have walked through many ups and downs together, going through waves all the way to save lives. "We have all passed through difficult times, and when our business is flourishing, I would throw away Akang like a pair of shoes that don't fit my feet.". For a blind person like me, the punishment obtained today is too light compared to my mistakes.
In 2000, the company was just starting to recruit employees, and among the applicants was Akang, who was in his thirties and had just ventured into the world from a small city cultural center. As a newcomer like him, I would not normally accept him, but I had also spent several years in cultural institutions, so I felt sorry for him. "However, during my heart-to-heart conversation with him, I found that he had a profound cultural heritage, was knowledgeable, and had a unique set of insights into cultural advertising planning, which I greatly appreciated. Therefore, I appointed A Kang as the manager of the advertising planning department.". Sure enough, a wise eye knows a hero. After taking office, Akang, with a feeling of gratitude and gratitude for the kindness he had received, spared no effort to travel around and make every effort to reach out to customers. Half a year later, the situation opened up. After planning advertisements with profound artistic conception and high cultural taste for several customers, we quickly gained fame in the circle, and customers flocked to us. This is the route for entrepreneurship. Akang and I have also become the best employers and have developed a brotherly relationship. In order for him to devote himself to working for the company, I made a special trip to Akang's hometown to pick up his wife and arrange to work as a mailman in the company. I also rented a house in a garden community and arranged for their husband and wife to live in it.
As expected, Akang has consistently introduced some new ideas and solutions to bring greater benefits to the company. When I was overwhelmed with advertising, I took over a full-color fashion magazine that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was also planned by Akang. With the rapid development of the company, the number of organizations has increased, and there are often departments that do not coordinate well with each other. My energy is often entangled in these matters, affecting the overall situation and market control. So I decided to recruit an office director.
Strange to say, after several months of recruiting, I didn't see a satisfactory target. Shortly after my wife went abroad to study, a woman named Manny appeared.
My Valentine, Manny
Sometimes, a woman doesn't need to show any talent, she just needs to appear in front of you.
Now think about it, this woman is like the spy in the movie, step by step into my life.
Sometimes, a woman doesn't need to show any talent, she just needs to appear in front of you. Manny is such a woman. From the moment she walked into the office, I mentally determined her position. "Because I saw a charming woman, who was petite and charming, with a faint charm in her eyes, manners, and conversation.".
At that time, I was not interested in beauty. I just thought that with such a lovely young lady coordinating the affairs of various departments, those male compatriots would obediently follow her instructions. In addition, when she first met and talked to me, she showed extraordinary agility and ingenuity, secretly thinking. This is another right-hand man that God has given me.
Sure enough, after taking office, Manny was conscientious and responsible, and she handled things with a sprightly determination, yet she was smooth and considerate. Many small matters could be solved by her, but she shared most of the affairs for me, making me feel more relaxed than ever before. If Akang were my left arm, then Manny would be my right arm. "You know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and the most important thing is talent generals. I often celebrate my good fortune.".
"After I regarded Manny as a trusted minister, all my defenses were relaxed, or I could say that I had never set up defenses against her.". And Manny is definitely the kind of intelligent woman who knows when, how, and what to do, and we men have become so simplistic through this subtle influence that even after she gradually behaves abnormally, there is no doubt.
