Chapter 305: The Foundation of a Secretary’s Career
The weather is bad today, the cold wind and drizzle make it look gloomy.
However, Chu Yang was in a good mood because he had to report to the provincial company today. According to the company's arrangement, Chu Yang would first report to the provincial company and then be arranged to attend the young cadre training class for half a month.
At 7:30, Mr. Tian's driver, Master Wang, drove Mr. Tian's car to pick up Chu Yang. This was Mr. Tian's special instruction.
Originally Chu Yang said that it was not necessary, but Mr. Tian was very insistent, so there was nothing he could do.
This is all caused by power.
At around 11 o'clock, Chu Yang arrived at the provincial company. After Master Wang dropped Chu Yang off, he returned directly. Chu Yang originally wanted to treat him to a meal, but Master Wang refused. It was probably because of Mr. Tian's request.
Chu Yang bought a bottle of water and sent Master Wang away, then went directly to the provincial company office to find Director Zhang.
Minister Zhang raised her sexy eyebrows when she saw Chu Yang. Although she was almost forty years old, Chu Yang gave people the feeling of being in her early 30s. She had a well-maintained figure and her skin was still like a girl. Although she was arrogant, she was also friendly when she smiled.
"Comrade Chu Yang welcomes you." In fact, Minister Zhang was still a little skeptical about Mr. Li's choice of Chu Yang as his secretary. Apart from being handsome, she didn't know if this young man had any other special skills.
"Thank you, Minister Zhang. I will be your soldier from now on." Although Chu Yang is Mr. Li's secretary, he is posted in the office and enjoys the treatment of a deputy minister. Strictly speaking, he is under the supervision of Zhang Shuyu.
"Chu Yang, you are not my soldier. You are the secretary appointed by Director Li. I am also Director Li's secretary. From now on, you are the chief secretary and I am the mistress. We will both serve Director Li together."
When Minister Zhang talked about his mistress, he smiled a little, looking a little shy, which made people imagine that this woman must be quite capable to reach this position.
Chu Yang held Minister Zhang's delicate hand and smiled modestly, "I will need Minister Zhang's guidance in the future. I have no experience as a secretary and I am afraid I won't be able to do well. I am really very nervous."
Zhang Shuyu looked at Chu Yang with interest, thinking that you are quite modest. She did not know that this was the case. However, she remained calm and continued, "How about this? Director Li is still in a meeting and cannot see you for the time being. Let me introduce you to the main tasks of a secretary's job."
"Thank you, Minister Zhang. You've worked hard. I'll take note of whatever you say." Chu Yang nodded vigorously, trying to look serious. At the same time, he quickly took out a worn notebook from his schoolbag and placed it flat on his knees. He then took out a pen that Zhiying had given him, and smiled at Minister Zhang, indicating that he was ready and he could speak.
“No need to be so serious, we are just communicating casually.” Minister Zhang smiled and gave Chu Yang a point in his heart. No wonder Director Li chose this person as his secretary. He is quite methodical in doing things, and he is very humble and handsome, which makes people feel comfortable.
"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Minister Zhang is not always available to tell me these things. I'd better take note and study hard when I get back." Before Chu Yang came here, he told himself to keep a low profile so that he could better integrate here.
Zhang Shuyu suddenly liked this young man Chu Yang. He pulled his clothes and began to talk without hesitation: "Let me first introduce the situation to you. There are 9 directors in the provincial company. Each of them is in charge of different matters. Of course, Director Li is the chairman and is in charge of the overall work. Therefore, there are many things to do and the clues are complicated. There are countless meetings held by various departments at all levels. There are also a lot of information to receive, matters to report, and materials to summarize. You must attend all the meetings, and you must always make important speeches.
Of course, as the chairman of the company, he has to accept interviews and reports from newspapers, radio stations, and television stations , and he has to deal with the government and other companies. If Mr. Li handles it all by himself, even if he has three heads and six arms or stays up all night, it probably won't work. So, he must be equipped with a smart and capable secretary, so that he can reduce his burden and let him take a breath. Your responsibility is very heavy. You are his limbs, and sometimes his brain. You have to select tasks for him and distinguish the priorities. "
Chu Yang felt a bit overwhelmed when he heard this. This kind of leadership is really not a human being. No wonder there are so many bald people. But this world is really like this. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
"Minister Zhang, I have a general understanding of this content, but I don't know where I should start first if I want to become a qualified secretary. To be honest, I'm a little confused." Chu Yang asked sincerely.
Zhang Shuyu also answered very friendly: "Mr. Li also took your problem into consideration and suggested that you go to study for half a month. The most important thing is to improve your quality and theoretical knowledge. You must behave properly, otherwise it will be embarrassing. In addition, if you don't understand anything, it will definitely not work."
Chu Yang nodded: "I will pay attention to these. I also heard that learning to answer the phone is also very important, right?"
Zhang Shuyu's eyes showed a look of relief: "Of course, a qualified secretary must be able to answer the phone, know which calls to answer and which calls not to answer, and whether to report some calls to Director Li. Otherwise, if you can't pass this level, it will make the leader very uncomfortable. After all, the leader is very busy."
"Fortunately, Chu Yang, there is one more thing. When the phone calls, you'd better be able to identify whose voice it is at the first time, or you can remember whose phone number it is, which will also be good for you."
"That makes sense. Minister Zhang is right." Chu Yang quickly wrote down the first item in his notebook. In fact, he knew all of this, but he had to give Minister Zhang some advice, right?
Minister Zhang went on to say, "In fact, the most important thing for a secretary is writing manuscripts. Moreover, Mr. Li has to attend many meetings, and he needs to have speech manuscripts for meetings. Although our office will also write manuscripts for Mr. Li, there are many times when meetings are quite rushed, and we may not be able to make it in time, or Mr. Li may not have time to read the manuscripts. As a qualified secretary, if you can write a manuscript that satisfies the leader in a short period of time, or help Mr. Li review the manuscripts, this is very important and is also the basic skill of a secretary. However, I have read your articles, and the manuscripts are indeed well written. I am not too worried about this. I guess Mr. Li wants you to be his secretary because of this."
Chu Yang also nodded: "I'm okay in this aspect, but I will continue to work hard."
Minister Zhang also gave Chu Yang some other instructions on how to pay attention to in life. Soon after Director Li’s meeting ended, Minister Zhang personally took Chu Yang over .
"Director Li, Chu Yang is here."
Director Li looked up at Chu Yang and nodded, "Well, Shu Yu, just go and do your work. Chu Yang, please take a seat."
Minister Zhang glanced at Chu Yang and walked out quickly.
Chu Yang also sat aside feeling a little awkward.
Director Li poured a cup of tea and said, "Chu Yang, let me tell you first, being my secretary will be very hard for you. There will be endless things to do every day. If you don't want to, I will make other arrangements."
Chu Yang was a little confused. He didn’t know what Mr. Li meant. Was he testing me?
Chu Yang couldn't think of how to respond for a moment. He didn't want to appear too flattering in front of Director Li, so he said matter-of-factly, "I'm not afraid of the hard work, but I'm afraid that I won't do well and will be sorry for your trust, Director Li."
Director Li smiled and said, "Chu Yang, Zhiying is back. You should do this. I asked you to be a secretary for my daughter, of course. But you should not think of yourself as a secretary. What you need to do is to broaden your horizons and get to know more people so that you can be independent in the future."
Chu Yang didn’t expect that Director Li thought so highly of him. He was indeed a little grateful in his heart. This prospective father-in-law was really good: “Director Li, I will definitely work hard and not let you down.”
Director Li: "Well, let's do this. I'll have Lao Mo take you to the training base to register. But after you go there, don't set up a small team. Learning more things is the foundation of your career."
Chu Yang: "Okay."
Just like that, Chu Yang got on the car again and set off for the training location. This feeling was different from the training for new employees, and was more like the etiquette training after entering the palace.
But it’s better not to purify yourself, after all, Chu Yang may be the foundation of your life.
