Chapter 5 — Cup of Water Punishment H ai Van

Her voice immediately became high-pitched. "What time is it now? Are you still telling me about the application? First, arrange for someone to take the director to the distinguished guest room!" I flipped through the regulations manual. “General Manager Phuong, to receive visitors, you must submit an application in advance.” "Personnel information, reception procedures, and resources needed must all be clearly written. Only after approval can I proceed." “Now there is no application in the system, I cannot make arrangements.” The other end was silent for two seconds. Then she suppressed her anger and asked. "Ngu Ha, are you crazy? When the company director comes, you won't welcome him?" I was neither arrogant nor self-deprecating and responded to her: "General Director Phuong, I do not have the right to approve, nor do I have the right to welcome, I am only in the position of implementation." “If you submit your application in the system and it's approved, I'll do it immediately.” She almost gritted her teeth while talking to me. “Director Chu comes but no one welcomes you, can you bear the consequences?” Here we go again. I listened to the point that my ears were about to cocoon. "General Director Phuong, who bears the consequences? We have to look at who is in charge in the process." “The right to approve the reception is in your hands, and the key to the guest room also requires your own stamp of approval.” “Moreover, the luxury living room is also a company resource.” "Last time I used a cup of hot water and was charged 20,000. This time I could use the luxury guest room without approval. I really don't dare." There was a heavy noise from the other end, like the phone being smashed on the ground. 10 At 2:10 p.m., the OA system finally showed the application. Phuong Vi self-submitted and self-approved. At twelve minutes past two, the approval was approved. I immediately stood up and informed the front desk to prepare a signature book. Open the guest room, contact the cleaning staff to clean it simply, then tell Duong Pham to go to the elevator door and wait. But the tea cake got stuck. I called Phuong Vi. “General Manager Phuong, tea and cakes also need temporary procurement approval.” Her voice was hoarse. “No time!” I slowly said: "Then we can only use existing supplies. The tea room has mineral water and instant coffee." She was so angry that her voice was distorted. "Give the group director instant coffee? Ngu Ha, are you deliberately trying to make me lose face?" I looked at the instant coffee packets on the shelf. Suddenly I remembered my mother's cup of hot water. A glass of water can also be called a convenience. So how about two pots of coffee? How about a plate of breakfast cake? "General Manager Phuong, the company can currently use these things. If you want to buy them from outside, you need to approve the temporary procurement." Finally she couldn't bear it anymore. “You go buy it yourself, the company pays!” I asked her again. “There is no purchase order, how to pay?” "If in the future it's said that I arbitrarily used company resources, who will pay this money to?" She scolded a sentence on the phone. Scolding is quite dirty. I put the phone away a bit. After scolding, she took a deep breath. "I approve, I approve now! Don't talk anymore, go buy it quickly." Five minutes later, provisional procurement approval came through. I went downstairs to buy two pots of Americano coffee. A breakfast plate, a box of tea bags. Invoices are kept, photos of payment history are also kept. Even the small slip the store employee gave me, I stuffed into my file bag. At two thirty-five minutes, Chu Hongyuan arrived. The guest room has just been cleaned, tea and cakes have just been displayed. Phuong Vi stepped on high heels and ran out of the elevator. Her hair was also tangled and lost two strands. “Director Chu, hello, hello.” He entered the door and glanced around. “It's a bit hasty to prepare.” Phuong Vi's face turned red. “Director Chu, I'm really sorry, your visit was so sudden today.” Chu Hong Vien sat down, took a sip of coffee. “I remember telling the secretary to inform you in the morning.” Phuong Vi said nothing. Zhou Hongyuan put down his cup. “Before I came, the corporation secretary told me that your administrative performance has been very poor recently.” “The process is seriously jammed, many operational departments are complaining.” Phuong Vi raised her head, clearly panicking. “Director Chu, there really is a m recently

Some processes are being standardized.” Zhou Hongyuan looked at her. “Standardization?” He turned his head to look at me again. “Are you Ngu Ha?” I nodded. “Hello, Director Chu.” His voice was a bit serious: "General Director Trieu once reminded you of me. He said that recently you have been working strictly according to the process, but the company is not able to operate." I raised my eyes and saw Phuong Vi's face turn pale. Zhou Hongyuan asked. “Why suddenly like this?” I took a look at Phuong Vi. She was also looking at me. That look was like a warning, like it was begging me not to say anything. But that day when my mother was holding a paper cup and standing at the door of the tea room. No one speaks for her. I also don't want to hide it for Phuong Vi anymore. 11 I don't add fish sauce or salt. Just tell everything from beginning to end.
