345 A Sincere Person
Shi Jun’s ability also wasn’t bad, but compared to Chu Zhe, he was somewhat mediocre. However, he was the managerial candidate for President Liu. This was a fact that President Liu had decided.
That was why President Liu repeatedly praised Chu Zhe in front of his assistant. This was another way of expressing his regret.
When Chu Zhe and the others reached the second floor of the restaurant, Shi Jun and the others had already arrived.
“Chu Zhe, is the person beside you a new colleague?” Shi Jun looked a few years older than Chu Zhe. Through Chu Ning’s visual inspection, he should be around 30. At that moment, he was smiling as he walked over. He was dressed in a suit and looked very formal.
!!
As for the new colleague he was talking about, he was referring to Chu Ning.
“No, she’s my younger sister. She came to S City to settle some business and dropped by to see me, so I brought her over for dinner tonight,” Chu Zhe replied with a smile.
“That’s good. Then you guys have a seat. I’ll go and pick Manager Peng up. There’s a traffic jam where he is, so he might not be able to find a parking spot for a while,” Shi Jun said brightly. He subsequently left the second-floor restaurant.
The Manager Peng he was talking about was the previous branch manager and the star of the night.
“We know that he’s going to retire soon, so what’s the use of rushing to curry favor with him? Just need to know who everyone supports,” Gu Xin said disdainfully after seeing Shi Jun leave.
“Actually, I think you can say this in person. Shi Jun probably won’t hold it against you,” Gu Xin’s colleague laughed and teased.
“Oh, no. I don’t dare to offend him. He has so many people supporting him,” Gu Xin said with a smile as she glanced at her colleagues who were sitting at other tables.
Chu Zhe was cheerily chatting with other colleagues. A table could seat ten people. At this moment, only three tables were filled in the second-floor hall. There were still a few people who were yet to arrive.
Chu Zhe didn’t care about factions. He paid no heed about whether they supported him or Shi Jun as the branch manager.
Chu Ning could also see that Chu Zhe did not care about the manager position, but she was helpless. Her future sister-in-law seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
At 6:40 pm, Chu Ning saw a middle-aged man in a gray suit slowly walking towards the center of the restaurant with Shi Jun by his side.
“Alright, Gu Xin. That’s enough. Manager Peng is here.” Her colleague saw the man in a gray suit who was in his early forties but had a head full of white hair, and reminded Gu Xin to stop talking.
On the other side, Chu Zhe, who was chatting with his colleagues, walked over with a serious expression when he saw Manager Peng.
“Manager Peng, I remember that you were my first guide when I first joined Information Technology Co. Ltd. more than half a year ago. New employees were not assigned to a dormitory for one or two months, so you found me a place to live. But now, you’re leaving,” Chu Zhe said sadly after hugging Manager Peng tightly.
He respected Manager Peng from the bottom of his heart.
Even though the other colleagues felt that Manager Peng was old and often could not deal with things as efficiently as Shi Jun and Chu Zhe.
However, Chu Zhe would never forget the first time he had come to the company. That night, Manager Peng had asked him to stay back in the office and had a long conversation with him.
Manager Peng seemed to have seen his younger self in Chu Zhe, but he was much more outstanding than he used to be.
Manager Peng admired Chu Zhe very much. It was precisely because of this that he understood that President Liu would not give the position to Chu Zhe.
Chu Zhe had many considerations as to why he did not want to come. Manager Peng was more like an elder to him than a superior. After he abdicated, he might return to his hometown and would not stay in S City. After this farewell, they would not meet again. Chu Zhe felt downcast.
“The future belongs to you young people. Chu Zhe, I still have high hopes for you. Work hard and charge forward,” Manager Peng said softly as he reached out and patted Chu Zhe’s shoulder. He gazed at the refined-looking young man in front of him with a complicated expression.
Chu Zhe was too smart. Sometimes, he was almost like Chu Ning. He would sacrifice his own interests for everyone.
Shi Jun’s deliberate attempt to please Manager Peng was the result of Chu Zhe’s concession.
In fact, the only 20-odd people in the department supported Shi Jun because Chu Zhe didn’t want any conflicts between his colleagues, so he deliberately facilitated it.
Chu Zhe also knew that he would not belong there in the future, so he intentionally guided President Liu to value Shi Jun.
