Chapter 5 — Female Hostess Behind the Scenes Full
9One of the projects had to meet locally, I was forced to lead the delegation on a business trip to Ninh Thanh. When I went to find Cu The Quan to sign the work application, Dai Tam was also present. He raised his head, his usually gentle face suddenly carrying a bit of worry: "For this project, is it okay for me to go alone?" Before I could say anything, Dai Tam burst into laughter. She leaned against the edge of the table, pretending to be concerned: "Why do you need to work so hard, Ms. To? CEO Cu is not so bad that he can't support you." Obviously, she had seen how strong I was in the business world... But perhaps because she had been arrogant for too long, she also began to really think that - I, who had returned to being a housewife for many years, was the one who needed Cu The Quan to feed. I didn't look at her, just smiled slightly: "Of course The Quan can take care of others, it's just... I prefer to take care of myself." I paused slightly, then each word was clear: "Director Dai himself once said - a meal delivered to your hand, how can it be as delicious as a meal you earn yourself?" Dai Tam was speechless. Cu The Quan saw that Dai Tam could not sway me, so he finally agreed and signed. That night, after dinner. My daughter hugged my hand and softly asked: "Mom, how long are you going on a business trip?" "Three days." She breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, I thought you were gone for three months... then I couldn't get you to take me to school." I laughed, gently tapping her nose: "How could I miss it? The day I entered school, you also prepared a big gift for me." "What gift, Mom?" I patted her head: "You'll know then."10 For the convenience of working with customers, I chose to stay at J Hotel - where the top floor was set up by the partner company as an area for senior managers. I chose this project to launch because the person in charge of the partner side is an old acquaintance. Negotiations progressed more smoothly than expected. Just on the return flight, several people with "unclear positions" sent me messages congratulating me in long paragraphs. Back at the company, I brought the hotel bill worth twelve million (1,200 yuan) to the finance department. Newbie Tieu Ly from the accounting department - who rarely comes to knock on my door - knocked twice today. He looked very awkward: "President To, this... recently there was a new regulation. To control costs, hotel standards for senior leaders on business trips cannot exceed three thousand per night." I looked at the "hot" bill in his hand and immediately understood. This is Dai Tam throwing stones to find the way. I didn't say anything, just nodded gently. Seeing that I wasn't angry, Tieu Ly became even more panicked, lowering her voice and whispering: "Director Dai said... the company must be fair to everyone. Rules are rules, I hope you understand." "Don't be nervous, I understand." I finally spoke up, my voice calm and unwavering. I pulled out a wad of cash, along with the receipt, pushed it towards Tieu Ly. "Just follow the rules and report, the excess I will pay myself." "This... is making it difficult for you." Tieu Ly was stunned. Perhaps he didn't expect that the task that had been worrying him for the past few days would be solved so easily. I picked up the coffee cup, slowly blew out the hot steam, my eyes were gentle: "Young people go to work, there are always unexpected things, I understand." "Go back and report!" When I raised my head again, gratitude flashed in Tieu Ly's eyes: "Thank... thank you, President To." He almost ran out of the room, but in his thanks, there was no fakeness. Dai Tam wants to use the new regulations to make things difficult for me. But in the finance department, under the general director there is also a department head, and under the department head there is also a team leader. Yet in such a small matter like this, a bunch of "seniors" pushed each other, and in the end pushed an intern to become a pioneer. At first I thought, after more than ten
Years of construction, Dai Tam must have had an absolutely loyal army... Looking back now, there is nothing terrible. In key departments, people's hearts are unstable. Four thousand yuan, in exchange for a rotten and bad opening move. This investment... is too profitable.11
