C71 Everyone Was Busy
The whole childhood, when all the other kids were jumping rope, throwing handkerchief, playing hide-and-seek, She had to spend more than ten hours with her grandmother at the embroidery table every day, learning how to stitch and thread. Her grandmother said that embroidery was a very profound technique. Even if she had talent, it would take a long time and thousands of repetitions. Not only would she need to train her skilled and nimble fingers, but she would also need to train them. He also needed to grind away the anxiety and distracting thoughts that came from a person's body. Only then would he be able to cultivate a calm and focused heart.
In the entire era of young girls, other girls were brimming with youth. They were wantonly blooming, hazing over good impressions. They were brewing expressions, looking forward to a heart-throbbing event that was full of red faces, heartbeats, and inexplicable expectations. However, she had to learn how to wrap needles, a single flat needle, two sets of needles, a set of needles, a rolling needle, a spinning needle, and so on and so forth. She had to continuously poke and move the needles, and then stitch out fine needles and feet. Enduring the exhaustion, boredom, and boredom, she was quiet. Day after day, she looked as old as her grandmother. Other than embroidery, She only allowed her grandmother to read the things related to embroidery that were hidden in her room.
No one asked her if she liked embroidery, and no one cared if she was willing to live such a life.
Granny, who was smiling at others, looked completely different in front of her.
She didn't allow Lin Jia to call her grandmother because she had drunk Lin Jia's apprenticeship tea. Therefore, Lin Jia could only call her Master.
Lin Jia didn't want to learn, so she had to stand, close up, starve, and even get beaten up.
Lin Jia would not eat, sleep, rest, or give up if she failed to do well. She would repeat herself again and again until she perfectly understood and reached her grandmother's standards.
Lin Jia had been thinking about running away since she was twelve years old. Unfortunately, she had worked so hard to save up enough money for the train ticket. And when she escaped from her grandmother's supervision and got into the cheapest car to run back to her parents' home, she would always be sent back as fast as she could the next day. After receiving his punishment, he continued to learn from the progress that he had stopped earlier.
He remembered that Lin Jia once escaped home again and cried in front of her parents. She showed her parents her hands that were full of needles and told them about her hard work. Her grandmother's stubbornness, her parents' heartlessness. . . The days were tough. She saw the pain in her parents' eyes, but he was still sent back to Grandma's courtyard by her parents. Before she left, her father told her that if she could get into a good university after she was eighteen years old, she would be able to leave. At that time, no one would force her to do anything she didn't want to do. Learning embroidery that she didn't want to learn, including Grandma, wouldn't do it either. Because these were the agreements between adults. But now, she could only endure and do what she needed to do first.
From that moment on, Lin Jia's life goal had one more option: enroll in a university, a first-rate university, a famous university, the further away she was from her grandmother and home, and the closer she was to freedom.
Thinking about it, it had been a really dull period of time. In order to exchange for more time to study, she no longer rebelled. She changed her previous procrastination and took the initiative to complete the tasks that Grandma had given her every day. She focused all of her attention on completing the tasks. The focus, endurance, and observation skills that he had accumulated from practicing embroidery would unconsciously be applied to his studies. She could easily enter a state of selflessness and achieve twice the results with half the effort. For a child, embroidery was as boring as learning. Compared to this, there was no one more interesting. However, once the goal was to achieve the goal in one's heart and move forward in anticipation. . . Time was no longer that difficult.
Lin Jia had never felt that she was smart.
Her advantage was always her focus.
What made people sigh with emotion was that the reason why she was able to develop such a good habit of benefiting for the rest of her life was that she had been forced by her grandmother to learn embroidery for more than ten years.
She was so angry that she could not control herself. In the end, she became the motivation of her life.
Many things in life were always dramatic.
When she came back to her senses from her memories, she could see the light of dawn outside the office window. The dark rain continued for many days, and the dark clouds dispersed last night. The sky was a faint blue, and it was obvious that it would be a good weather.
Assistant Bei jogged over. Her footsteps were wrapped in a gust of wind, and her tired face could not hide her excitement.
"Boss, the result is out"
"How is it?" Lin Jia smiled.
"After overthrowing the conclusion of the previous evaluation report, we can write another report. The data is reliable and the arguments are solid. The higher-ups will be satisfied if they read it. " She gently placed the folder on the table and pressed her hands on it. "This will be a pretty report card. "
"Okay" Lin Jia stood up and looked around, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work"
With the data as the foundation, Lin Jia spent two hours re-writing the evaluation report and rushed to send the email before the deadline.
At 9: 00 AM, the HM office building was filled with a busy scene. Lu Yuan and Huo Ming, the two vice presidents, opened Lin Jia's email almost at the same time. Their expressions were similar to calm. Even the few assistants standing around them found it hard to read their true feelings from their faces.
The importance of the Silken Program was self-evident.
The first evaluation report of the project team gave this project the need to continue developing, and it also gave the project unlimited possibilities for the future.
The benefits were huge.
Conflicts were brewing.
Some hidden undercurrents were not easily noticed until they erupted.
- - - ----
Lin Jia had always been concerned about her grandmother's grave sweeping, and her parents would call from time to time to urge her to change the timing.
In the end, the change was actually brought forward infinitely and suddenly, it was done.
Lin Jia applied for two days of leave from the company and temporarily went to the official website to book a flight ticket. She arrived at the airport an hour before taking off and even drove her laptop to check the data.
She squeezed out her time during the critical moment of the project. When she was not in the company, she could not stop working. There was an endless stream of information from the other members of the project team. Lin Jia needed to confirm it as soon as possible.
The work part was not a problem for Lin Jia.
What worried her the most was that she could not see or touch the crisis that she could clearly sense. Following the development of the Silken Jade Project, it unceremoniously enveloped her.
Although she was the person in charge of the entire project, she did not have the qualifications to refuse.
Assistant Bei: Boss, two rookies have joined the group today. One of them is Nie Sisi, and the other is Zhan Jiaying. They have already been arranged by Xiao Zhu to read the documents in the conference room. However, Big Elder Liu called to urge them to bring them into working mode as soon as possible. I heard that he has already greeted the boss. What should we do?
When this message popped up, Lin Jia hung up Big Liu's phone. They didn't have a very pleasant conversation. Because just as Assistant Bei had said, Big Old Liu was out of the ordinary. He was using the tone of a person who had to, definitely, and without discussion. Although he was directly superior to Lin Jia by two levels, he did not have the right to directly manage the Silken Program. It was already not unreasonable to suddenly assign a new member and order Lin Jia to put her in an important position. He was simply interfering with the normal operation of the project team.
What was it that made Big Old Liu tear off his harmless Buddhist robe and reveal his overbearing side? Lin Jia could not figure it out.
"It's simply unreasonable. Has Big Old Liu been taking too many healthcare medicine recently?" Lin Jia took a deep breath and then began to reply to Assistant Bei's message.
Lin Jia: Tell them that every member of the project team's work is arranged in advance. Even if there are new members joining the team, the person in charge will need to reorganize the work. After a day, ask Xiao Zhu to come forward and arrange Nie Sisi to be Kitty's assistant. Zhan Jiaying will arrange it for God.
Assistant Bei sent a few red exclamation marks.
Lin Jia: Do as I say. Delay it until I return to the company. I'll deal with it.
Assistant Bei: Light wax for Nie Sisi and Zhan Jiaying. I hope the two of them know their place and don't annoy Kitty and God.
Lin Jia: I quite like bad-tempered people.
After the cold reply, Lin Jia closed the dialog box.
While drinking, she organized the thoughts in her head while adding the double concentrated version of the American style.
Nie Sisi had just entered the company before she graduated from Harvard University. She was about to enter Lu Yuan's exclusive secretarial office. She was the fourth secretary. Although the number of names on the list was far, it was too high for a pure whiteboard newcomer. This meant that there was a chance for him to soar into the sky. Nie Sisi herself was also very hardworking. Three months of probationary period. Half a year probation period, facing a boss that was close to being harsh. She easily passed it, and in the following time, she was promoted from the fourth secretary to the second assistant. Very trusted.
After Zhan Jiaying entered the HM department, she had originally been working in the Department of Industry and had been doing very well. Although she had not been promoted yet, it was only a matter of time before she could lead a team with her business standards and personal abilities alone. At that time, she could be considered a celebrity employee of the business group. But then one day, she suddenly quit. . . He left in a carefree manner. It was said that he had a better career transition and left. She had returned to HM two months ago. She was applying for the position of the Administration Department's Manager. Perhaps it was common to jump around in other companies, but there were very few cases of HMH rehiring employees. Zhan Jiaying had successfully become such an existence that broke the rules, and now. . . She, a good administrative manager, did not do it and actually came to Lin Jia's project team. Who would believe that there was no special purpose?
Big Elder Liu's imposing manner was clearly asking Lin Jia to treat both of them seriously. Both of them had to be taken care of.
Lin Jia let out a long sigh. In her heart, she was extremely unwilling. When the project team was selecting people, her ideal state was that the entire team was filled with people who did things. Everyone worked together to complete the project first. Therefore, at that time, there were clearly people who were more capable than her. However, because they had obvious Huo or Lu series brands on them, Lin Jia had no choice.
It had only been a few days, but there were already people who couldn't hold back and wanted to stuff people in.
This fake opportunity was perfect for her.
She left the company and gave her 48 hours to consider. She had to think of a reliable strategy to get closer.
Lin Jia was deep in thought.
The chair opposite her suddenly had a man's large hand with clear joints. He gently pulled it back and pulled it away.
"Sorry, I don't want to fight with other people over the table. " Lin Jia frowned, and when she raised her eyes to take a look, she exclaimed in a low voice that was extremely unexpected, "Su Huai, why are you here?"
