Chapter 629 Backup Candidate
Gu Jie didn't know how to express his thoughts accurately, and at the same time he felt a little guilty about what he had said to Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao had never treated him unfairly over the years, but now he had offered to resign, which was very embarrassing for Gu Jie.
Song Yuanchao listened carefully, and after a while he finally understood.
After Gu Jie finished speaking, Song Yuanchao thought about it and nodded slightly. He looked at the somewhat nervous Gu Jie and asked, "I understand what you are thinking. Do you feel that you cannot demonstrate your value in Si Te Company? And many of the jobs are not what you are good at?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Gu Jie nodded repeatedly. He had been nagging for a long time, but Song Yuanchao summarized it all in one short sentence.
"You, you think too much!" Song Yuanchao shook his head and laughed, "It's difficult to do any job, and people are not born competent for the job. Everyone gradually improves themselves in the work, familiarizes with and accepts the work. You have only been working for more than a year and you want to quit because of the difficulty. This is not the Gu Sanmao I know!"
"Haha." Gu Jie smiled embarrassedly: "To be honest, I have learned a lot in Si Te in the past year, and I also know a lot of things I didn't know before. But I think I am still not suitable for this job, so it is better to leave Si Te. But don't worry, Brother Yuan Chao, I will stick to my post until I find a successor, but I hope Brother Yuan Chao can approve..."
After looking at Gu Jie, Song Yuanchao seemed to see something on Gu Jie's face. After thinking for a while, he asked directly: "Sanmao, tell me the truth, besides the reason you just said, are there any other reasons?"
After these words were spoken, Gu Jie's expression became even more embarrassed. It seemed that Song Yuanchao's guess was correct and there were indeed other reasons.
After taking two puffs of the cigarette, Gu Jie hesitated for a moment and sighed, then told Song Yuanchao that he did have other reasons, which were related to himself and his family.
Gu Jie does not have many brothers and sisters. He is the only son in the family and has two older sisters. His two sisters have been married long ago. Gu Jie has not been in Shanghai for many years. He first went to Guangzhou, then to Hong Kong, and now he has been in Nanjing for a long time.
Although Jinling is not far from Shanghai, it takes at least a whole day to go there and back with current transportation.
In addition, Gu Jie has not solved his personal problems over the years, and his parents and sister are very anxious, especially his parents, who have long wanted to have grandchildren and have been worried about this matter.
Some time ago, Gu Jie's parents asked someone to introduce a girl to Gu Jie, and Gu Jie took some time off to return to Shanghai.
The blind date went smoothly and both parties were basically satisfied with each other. So Gu Jie and the other party started dating.
The two have been dating for a while now, but because one is in Jinling and the other in Shanghai, although Gu Jie will try to go to Shanghai to meet on his days off, the journey is not short after all, so there is not much time to spare. In addition, the other party also said that if they get married, it is really inconvenient to live apart, and hopes that Gu Jie can find a way to transfer back to Shanghai.
In addition to personal problems, my parents are getting old. My married sister would take time to visit them, but they don’t live together, so if something happens, it’s impossible for them to rush over immediately.
In addition, his parents had long been accustomed to living and were unwilling to follow Gu Jie to live elsewhere. Gu Jie was a very filial person. In view of this situation, he had the idea of returning to Shanghai to accompany his parents and start a family at the same time.
Internal and external factors finally made Gu Jie make up his mind to resign from Si Te Company.
After listening to Gu Jie's words, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but blame Gu Jie for not telling him about this earlier. If this was the case, Gu Jie didn't need to resign from Si Te Company at all. Wouldn't it be enough for him to just say hello and go to work at the Shanghai Branch? With the establishment of the Shanghai Branch, Song Yuanchao has been preparing to gradually divide the group headquarters into two parts in the next few years, one part in Jinling and the other in Shanghai.
Gu Jie shook his head repeatedly and said that since he was leaving Si Te Company, he would leave completely. As a director, it was not good for the company's management if he worked in the Shanghai branch for a long time instead of at the headquarters. He also said a lot of other things.
This made Song Yuanchao feel puzzled. He looked at Gu Jie deeply and seemed to feel that Gu Jie was very determined to leave Si Te Company. But as to why, he might have other ideas besides the reasons he just mentioned.
But Gu Jie never told Song Yuanchao these things, and Song Yuanchao was not in a position to continue asking.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I can't stop you." In the end, Song Yuanchao agreed to Gu Jie's resignation from Si Te Company. At the same time, he asked him what he planned to do when he returned to Shanghai and whether he had any other ideas.
Seeing that Song Yuanchao finally nodded, Gu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
He told Song Yuanchao that he had been busy for so many years, and he would return to Shanghai after finishing the matters here at Si Te Company. As for what specific thing he would do, he had not yet decided, but he had only resigned from Si Te Company. He was still a shareholder of Shenghua Group, and the annual dividend amount was not small. With this money alone, Gu Jie could live much better than ordinary people even if he did nothing.
First deal with the family and personal matters, and then have a good rest for a few days. Anyway, there will be a lot of free time later, so there is no need to rush.
Song Yuanchao smiled without comment and told Gu Jie that after leaving Si Te, he should go to Shanghai to have a good rest for a while, and other things can be discussed later.
Gu Jie nodded and agreed. This matter had been on his mind for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to talk about it with Song Yuanchao. Today he finally brought it up, and Song Yuanchao agreed. This made Gu Jie feel a lot more relaxed.
More than an hour later, Song Yuanchao saw Gu Jie off.
When he returned to the living room, he didn't clear the table, but sat on the sofa thinking about what Gu Jie had just done.
What exactly made Gu Jie make this decision? Did something happen to him at Si Te Company that he didn't know about? Or did Gu Jie have some ideas that he was not convenient to tell Song Yuanchao?
For a moment, Song Yuanchao couldn't figure it out. He picked up the phone and planned to call Li Daqi to ask about Gu Jie's situation.
Although Song Yuanchao and Gu Jie have a very good relationship, it is still slightly worse than Li Daqi. After all, it was Li Daqi who introduced Gu Jie to Song Yuanchao. There are some things that Gu Jie may not say to Song Yuanchao, but he might say them to Li Daqi. Maybe he can get the truth from Li Daqi.
But Song Yuanchao hung up the phone after dialing two numbers. It was better not to make this call for the time being. Song Yuanchao knew Li Daqi's temper. He would call Gu Jie immediately after receiving this call, which would be inappropriate. Song Yuanchao didn't want this matter to be known to everyone. For the sake of equity and Gu Jie's face, it was better to put it aside for the time being.
With Gu Jie leaving, Si Te Company will be missing a candidate for an important position.
Gu Jie serves as a director and deputy general manager of Si Te Company. His position is very important. In order to supervise Si Te's operations, Song Yuanchao deliberately put Gu Jie in this position because he valued not only his ability but also his reliability.
Now that Gu Jie is leaving, who will take over Gu Jie's position? Song Yuanchao didn't think of it for a while.
Originally, Zhou Junhao would be a suitable candidate to be transferred from Shenghua headquarters to replace Gu Jie, but Song Yuanchao had already promised Xu Hui to transfer Zhou Junhao from the headquarters to Shenghua Telecom as Li Daqi's deputy.
Now that Zhou Junhao has taken up his post, he has been travelling around the country with Li Daqi on business trips these days in order to familiarise himself with the work of Shenghua Telecom as quickly as possible.
I learned from Li Daqi that Zhou Junhao is very dedicated to his new job and position, and is doing a very good job. It may not be appropriate to transfer him from Shenghua Telecom to Si Te Company at this time.
Apart from Zhou Junhao, Zhang Jiaming is also a suitable candidate. But Zhang Jiaming has actually taken over the work of Pengcheng Shenghua. Xiaoqi is also possible, but after Li Daqi let go of Pengcheng Shenghua Clothing, Xiaoqi is currently responsible for the actual management of Pengcheng Clothing. Pengcheng Clothing Company is still the most profitable enterprise of Shenghua and the source of the main capital flow, so Xiaoqi cannot be moved.
After thinking about it, Song Yuanchao felt a little overwhelmed. The position of director of Si Te Company is very important. It not only requires certain abilities, but more importantly, it must be trustworthy. But Song Yuanchao has no other suitable person at hand. It would be easy to transfer someone from Shenghua headquarters, but this person is not as trustworthy as Gu Jie that Song Yuanchao trusts now.
For a moment, Song Yuanchao was in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, he could only make a concession and temporarily send someone from Shenghua headquarters to replace Gu Jie's job, and then make adjustments when a suitable candidate is found later.
"What on earth is Gu Sanmao thinking? He was doing well but suddenly did this?" Song Yuanchao felt a little depressed. Gu Jie's sudden departure disrupted his plan. Although he didn't want to agree to Gu Jie, he was familiar with Gu Jie as a friend. From the way Gu Jie discussed this matter with him just now, it seemed that Gu Jie was determined to leave Si Te.
A forced melon is not sweet. If you insist on opposing it, you may not even be friends anymore. Having known Gu Jie for so many years, Song Yuanchao knows that Gu Jie is not only loyal, but also stubborn. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change it.
Since he has made up his mind, Song Yuanchao cannot stop him. Besides, Gu Jie did not tell Song Yuanchao the real reason, so Song Yuanchao cannot continue to ask for the time being and can only wait and talk about it later.
Song Yuanchao sighed and shook his head. Talent is now the biggest problem restricting the development of enterprises. Song Yuanchao misses the time when talents will flow in a dozen or twenty years. But now, talent flow is impossible. Highly educated talents are in short supply all over the country. Which unit doesn't treat these people as treasures? In addition, people's ideas have not changed. The staff of state-owned enterprises and government agencies look down on foreign-funded enterprises. Even if they offer more money, they think it is not more reliable than holding a stable job.
All this will not change fundamentally until the iron rice bowl is broken. In addition, with more and more college students graduating every year and the future expansion of college enrollment, the flow of talent has become a real possibility.
