Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0456: The Glow Before Darkness
After flipping through the resumes, Nan Yi wanted to throw them at Lin Pai's face, but he said calmly, "Thanks to the colleagues in the Human Resources Department for their hard work in finding so many candidates, and Director Lin, you have also paid attention to them. However, these candidates do not quite meet my requirements, so I hope Director Lin will work harder to dig deeper and find more outstanding talents.
Director Lin, I recently found a nice restaurant with good food. If you don’t have a date today, why don’t I invite you to try the food there?”
"Thank you, Nan Erban. It's such a coincidence that I have something to do at home today. Why don't we make an appointment another day?" Lin Pai's fat face was smiling but his true colors remained unchanged as he politely declined Nan Yi's invitation.
"Oh, is that so? Let's do it another day." Nan Yi also put on a hypocritical smile, put away the resume and said, "Then Director Lin, please pay attention to the recruitment matter."
"This is my job, and I will definitely do my best."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After Lin Pai left, Nan Yi immediately went to Wu Zaisheng's office.
"Lin Pai is your second uncle's man?"
After entering the office, Nan Yi didn't sit down, but asked Wu Zaisheng directly.
"No, it's the old man my father left behind."
"Are you sure?"
Wu Zaisheng looked at Nan Yi's face and said seriously, "I'm sure."
"Okay, it's okay." After Nan Yi said that, he turned around and pretended to leave.
"What's wrong? Uncle Lin doesn't support your work?"
"No, he was quite supportive. In less than two days, he sent me a lot of selected resumes. But maybe my Cantonese is not very good, and I said something wrong, so Director Lin misunderstood my request. In order to avoid such misunderstandings, I will speak English during work hours in the future."
"I say, Ayi, don't be so sarcastic. If Uncle Lin doesn't do it well, just tell him directly and he will cooperate with you."
Nan Yi turned around and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
" nonsense ."
"Let's give it a try and see if he stands on your side." Nan Yi said, waved his hand, and walked away.
As soon as Nan Yi left, Wu Zaisheng chewed on Nan Yi's words, "You won't stand on my side?"
Nan Yi walked out of Wu Zaisheng's office with a slight smile. He didn't give a damn who Lin Pai belonged to. As long as he was not his own man and did not cooperate with his work, he would have to show off.
What's more, Nan Yi was basically certain that Lin Pai and Wu Zaisheng were not of the same mind. Otherwise, no matter how poor Lin Pai's ability was, he should have understood the job requirements clearly. As for the resumes he sent to Nan Yi, none of them could meet the job requirements, not even a little bit.
Lin Pai is unreliable, which is actually good news for Nan Yi.
After returning to his office, Nan Yi immediately typed out a report on the computer to seek help from a headhunter. Headhunters cannot be found just because you want to, as this involves budget issues.
A headhunting company will charge 20% to 60% of the annual salary of a person to help find a job, depending on the difficulty of the job. According to Nan Yi's estimate, the headhunting company will charge 20% to 35% for the person he is looking for, which is not a small fee.
Although Nan Yi has a certain degree of autonomy, the cost is too high for him to make the final decision directly. He still has to submit the report to Wu Fuye. Nan Yi guessed that Wu Fuye would most likely not approve it, and what he wanted was not to approve it.
Only if Wu Fuye does not approve, Nan Yi will have a reason to go find someone himself, and the person he is looking for must naturally have the surname Nan.
After printing out the report, Nan Yi went directly to Zhang Fuxin's office.
After three days of observation at Jardine Matheson and combining it with the previous investigation report, Nan Yi has come to the conclusion that the person who is truly in power at Jardine Matheson Bank is Zhang Fuxin, and she is exercising the rights of the general manager on behalf of Wu Fuye.
As to whether Zhang Fuxin is just a puppet or has a certain degree of autonomy, this remains to be judged.
"Secretary Zhang, this is the application report I gave to President Wu. Please pass it on." After entering Zhang Fuxin's office, Nan Yi handed the report to her.
Zhang Fuxin took the report, flipped through it and said, "The bank has its own human resources department, so why do we need to find an outside headhunter? Deputy Manager Nan, you have very high requirements. Do you think our own personnel department can't complete it?"
"As things stand, yes."
With a creak, Zhang Fuxin leaned back on the back of the executive chair and said sternly, "Deputy Manager Nan, you may not know since you just arrived, but we at Jardine Matheson Bank value economy, and we try to solve things that can be solved internally.
Headhunting is professional and can easily meet your needs, but the fees charged by headhunters are very high, which goes against the consistent principles of our bank.
Deputy Manager Nan, please put the report aside for now. I will hand it over to General Manager Wu when he comes. However, you don’t have to hold out too much hope. Based on my understanding of General Manager Wu, he probably won’t approve it. ”
"Then I'll have to trouble Secretary Zhang. I'll wait for Mr. Wu 's approval."
While Nan Yi was engaged in a cold struggle in the workplace, Wu Zhenkai received good news. The men that Wu Guotao had sent out to find the "man in black" finally found him in Amsterdam, Holland.
"Third Master, I have learned that they are the bodyguards of the Japanese Mitsui family , and they are looking for their eldest daughter, Mitsui Azusa."
“Have you seen the photo?”
Still in that secret base, the curtains were drawn and the room was very dark. The faint light from the desk lamp shone on Wu Zhenkai, making his face look even gloomier.
Wu Guotao's death woke him up. The old man in his family was obviously going to support Wu Zaisheng, and his position as the heir to the Wu family was in jeopardy. Wu Zhenkai was no longer prepared to hold on. He planned to use the most direct method to physically eliminate Wu Jingyuan and Wu Zaisheng.
However, things cannot be rushed. Most of the Wu family's properties and shares are controlled by Wu Jingyuan. These assets cannot simply fall into his hands through inheritance.
These assets were held anonymously by offshore companies. The company's shareholding was very complicated. Without Wu Jingyuan's personal intervention to sort it out, there was no way to prove that those assets belonged to the Wu family, not to mention that they could become an inheritance after Wu Jingyuan's sudden death.
These back-up plans were all set up by Wu Jingyuan after the death of Wu Zaisheng's parents.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although Wu Jingyuan had doubts about the deaths of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and was basically certain that it was Wu Fuye's doing, he was still a man of his own making. No matter how good his eldest son was, he was no longer with him, and he couldn't let his younger son be buried with his eldest son.
In addition, Wu Zaisheng's performance at that time disappointed him. For the sake of father-son relationship and the inheritance of the Wu family, Wu Jingyuan could only make the best of a bad situation and bury everything in his heart.
But the fact that he did not pursue Wu Fuye did not mean that he did not worry about his own safety. It was also human nature to set up some protection for himself to ensure his own safety.
"Yes, I told the Mitsui family's bodyguard that I thought I had seen their eldest daughter and needed to see a photo to confirm it, so they showed it to me."
"Describe your appearance."
The appearance described by his subordinate was very similar to the Dong Yuezi that Wu Zhenkai had seen. This made the gloom in his eyes disappear, and was replaced by joy.
"Dongyue Azusa, Sanjing Azusa..." Wu Zhenkai laughed evilly, "Tell those people that their eldest daughter is in London, at Downton Abbey in Oxford."
"Song Zihao, Nan Yi, I think you would rather be a son-in-law, or flatter Wu Zaisheng, hahahaha..."
Not long after Nan Yi left Zhang Fuxin's office, the receiver on his body began to vibrate. He calmly turned off the vibration, stood up and walked towards the elevator shaft.
Nan Yi met the school beauty in a pizza restaurant not far from Jardine Matheson Bank.
"Nansheng, Mitsui Azusa has been exposed."
"Well, that's good. Yamei can't stay here any longer. There are many things going on outside." Nan Yi nodded and said to the waiter who came to his table, "Naples pizza and a cup of Italian coffee, school beauty, what do you want?"
"I don't want it. I've been having stomach problems these past two days and it's hard to find a public toilet nearby." The school beauty said in a low voice.
"If you're not feeling well, let someone else take care of you. Don't force yourself. Didn't the defense team just take their first half physical exam? What does your report say?"
"It's not a big problem, just a little stomach discomfort due to irregular diet."
"Follow me, it's hard work."
"It's not hard work, I just have a bad stomach, which is probably a problem I had when I was young. When I was young, I had to fight with wild dogs for food, but I was too weak to win and was almost eaten by them. I grew up eating wild vegetables and finally I was able to win and subdue wild dogs. Only then did I know what meat tasted like.
Later I joined the Boy Scouts, and the reward for my first kill was one-eighth of an apple, and that apple was so sweet..."
Nan Yi patted the school beauty's hand and comforted her: "Okay, the past is in the past, don't think about it anymore, look to the future, work for a few more years, and you will be financially independent. If you don't want to continue working, just retire and find a place you like to spend the rest of your life."
"For now, I haven't thought about retiring. It's good to follow Nansheng. I should be able to work for another ten years before my body functions deteriorate."
"Haha, if you don't want to retire, just follow me. If you are no longer good at martial arts, you can do civilian work. You are almost half of my secretary now, which is good. You can hold a gun and a pen. Don't think too much and look forward."
"good."
