Chapter 18 (Part Two)
"All right. Today's meeting is over. Let's dismiss the meeting. Nicole, stay here!"
After the manager announced, everyone else left. The manager looked at Nicole, feeling both angry and helpless. After calming herself down, she waved at Nicole and said, "Nicole, come and sit closer."
Nicole had to stand up and sat beside her. The manager sighed and tried her best to speak in a kind tone, "Nicole, I know it's difficult to do this job. You've been wronged for more than a month, but after the old colleague left, you're the only available person in the department. I can only hand this job to you. This is also a trust and exercise for you. Don't feel wronged."
Nicole looked at the female manager in confusion and said lightly, "Manager, you misunderstood me. I don't feel wronged. Since I have accepted this position, this is my job." Nicole didn't feel wronged as she thought her salary deserved how many work she did.
"Well, I know that Nicole is an experienced employee. I didn't misjudge you at first sight. However... " The female manager seemed to be a little hesitant. She smiled awkwardly and said softly, "Nicole, do you have a something with Mr. Lambert... Personal grudges? Why did Mr. Lambert suddenly urge this job so much? Why did he always put our department in a difficult position?"
Nicole was surprised. She looked at the female manager and asked, "What do you mean?"
The female manager smiled awkwardly and said, "There are some rumors in the company.... But I believe in your moral quality. You are not the kind of person people say. However, Mr. Lambert has obviously suppressed you in many decisions, which makes me have to doubt you. Did you have anything to do with Mr. Lambert? For example, you just took over the salary reform this time after Halen took a maternity leave. The company should have given you enough time. Even during the next month's holiday, we can check and pay according to the old system. However, Mr. Lambert insisted on changing all the salary of the E Venture Capital Company into the AI Group mode before the new year, in order to make progress so quickly. It's really surprising that he is so heartless."
The female manager sighed, "The year-end bonus of our industry is the biggest. At the beginning of the establishment of the E Venture Capital Company, it was almost impossible to pay out the year-end bonus because of the unsatisfactory performance, which caused a great change in the company's personnel. Many capable saleswomen escaped with projects and customers, which was a great loss to the company. Therefore, the company attached great importance to the year-end bonus. If the year- end bonus couldn't be pay on time... Our company has just been reorganized and our people are not in a good mood. If we fail to do our job well this time and cause the loss of talents in key positions, then we really can't bear the consequences in the future."
The female manager looked at Nicole helplessly.
Nicole couldn't figure it out that as the general manager and once working in the venture capital industry, Lambert should understand the importance of this job, but why he was still doing it for making fun of her, regardless of the company's interests.
It was not until the female manager explained, "At the end of this year, the AI Group just arrived here. From this year to next July, all the profits and losses of the company are still calculated by the E Group, and the AI Group will only keep its costs. You see, the name of our company hasn't changed yet, so Mr. Lambert doesn't have to worry about loss at all. He only needed to consider to turn the company into the AI Group mode before 7 next year. No matter what means he use... "
Nicole finally understood that the AI Group wouldn't bear any loss this year, so Lambert was able to give her a hard time regardless of the interests of the company. What a cruel and merciless man Lambert was.
It would be fine if Nicole just suffered a lot. If it affected the performance of the Eric because of her, Nicole was not willing at all. She didn't want to cause trouble to Eric.
Nicole lowered her head and said, "I see. Manager, you don't have to worry about what happened between me and Mr. Lambert. Because no matter what happens now, I will try my best to finish my work before the deadline."
The female manager was still worried. She wanted to say something, but finally she suppressed it. She patted on Nicole's shoulder and said, "Okay. If you really finish this job before the festival, I believe that Mr. Lambert won't make things difficult for you no matter whether you have anything to do with Mr. Lambert or not."
Nicole thought that the ideal of the female manager was too simple. If Lambert was kind to get along with, he would not defame her by villain means.
After the meeting, the female manager left first. After cleaning up the meeting room, Nicole also left. Coincidentally, Nicole met two managers coming out of Lambert's office. The two managers were dejected. The sales manager Mr. Chen said, "Our efforts in the early years are not counted as contributions in front of the new leaders."
The project manager also shook his head in silence.
Nicole obviously felt that the morale of the company was very low recently. 'I don't know if Lambert really intends to completely reintegrate the E Venture Capital Company, which makes his subordinates too busy to work. Under such pressure, if I don't finish the salary reform at the end of the year, the consequences will be unthinkable. At that time, will Lambert let me take the blame?'
Nicole was taken aback when she thought of this. But on second thought, it was not impossible for Lambert to have such a bad character. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Nicole was anxious. She had answered a phone call in the afternoon, which annoyed her even more.
The J High School called to complain about Layton, saying that Layton often skipped classes in recent days and did not listen to the instructions for many times. They had no choice but could only ask Nicole to talk to the school.
