The Goddess Shines on America

There are high-rise office buildings everywhere around the Alice Building, and naturally there will be no shortage of cafes. The logo of Starbucks is very easy to find, but after a while, the two sat down in one of the stores.

"A cup of latte." Monica put the purse aside, then looked at Alice: "Miss Wang, are you sure you want to drink milk tea?"

A seventeen-year-old girl, looking at her age, there is no need to strictly follow the lifestyle of minors, Alice blinked her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and finally shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, let's have a cup of kabu Chino, but don’t be in a hurry to tell Oscar and the others, otherwise he won’t be able to control his words.”

Monica smiled slightly and ordered a cappuccino to the waiter.

Although the age difference is not small, about ten years old, and it is a purely superior-subordinate relationship, but a few months of getting along is enough for the two to become ordinary adults. Sitting in the coffee shop right now, after a moment of silence, Monica started the joking mode first.

"Miss Wang, the choice of cappuccino is really very suitable. It has a lot of milk. If you drink coffee for the first time, you will drink the extra-strong grade. I'm afraid you will have to dance in a nightclub." ?”

Alice shook her head and said, "It's two different things. I just want to be a legal and good citizen. By the way, Monica, you are also British. What is the proportion of British middle school students who smoke marijuana?"

Monica frowned. It would be a lie to say that the topic is insensitive. After a little thought, she said: "Of course the ratio is quite a lot, but it depends on the situation. Besides, I can't come up with anything." Statistics. But it feels that it should still be better than the situation in American public high schools, and our control is still relatively strict."

Alice nodded silently, which would bring coffee, and the two of them didn't talk about other topics. You take a sip, I take a sip, Monica was not surprised to see that Alice's expression was extremely calm when she drank coffee "for the first time".

That's right, have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? It's just a cup of coffee. Compared with the first time you have sex with the opposite sex, it's completely nothing.

"Actually, Monica..." Gudu took two sips of coffee, and Alice said, "It's normal to be called formally at work, and now we are off work, just call me Alice. By the way, it seems that we are here for the first time. How about something to drink and eat on the street?"

"It's the first time, Wang... Alice, since you asked so." Monica replied, she was a little uncertain what the boss was thinking.

For more than half a year, Monica has been working in the Roswell Building in London. It can be said that although she took the position of Alice's secretary, it was only recently that she officially came into contact with the entire corporate empire of this magical girl. She was curious from the very beginning, just a seventeen-year-old girl, what kind of brain circuit can make her come up with so many amazing ideas every second?

The flash of thought in the secretary's eyes was easily captured by Alice.

"Monica, you signed a three-year contract with me." She seemed to be stirring the coffee casually: "Have you considered your future career plans? When Li Zekai introduced you, of course I did." After reading your resume, you graduated from a law degree and joined a part-time MBA program. You jumped to my job one year after you got this certificate. So now, I really have to ask you again carefully, three years later Do you intend to continue working here, or do you want to find another job with a more amazing company?"

After saying this, without raising her head, she immediately added: "Of course, of course, we are all aggressive young people, long live the understanding. If you really go to work in other large companies, wait for someday When I approach your new company to do business, it’s called networking, right?”

It turned out to be such a plot, and Monica immediately understood. The boss cares about his subordinates, and the boss cares about his secretary. This is a very important link in the workplace. Especially with the completion of the Alice Building, this promising girl has taken her career a huge step forward. At such a juncture, it is perfectly normal for the chairman to explore what is wrong with the Secretary of the Board. up.

After all, a position like secretary of the board of directors really holds too many secrets.

Monica couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Fortunately, there is always a lively environment in Starbucks. The elegant light music, the noise at the front desk, and the whispered conversations accumulated by the customers around are all enough to make her relax quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Monica replied gracefully and calmly: "Ten years, I don't think I will have any plans to change jobs for at least ten years."

Alice was noncommittal: "Why?"

"Job seekers only value two factors when applying for a job." Monica answered fluently and naturally, with a calm demeanor: "One is the salary, plus the potential for their own career development; the other is the scale of the company and its development potential; and then , which is the comprehensive benefit produced by the superposition of the two.”

"Then?"

"Although Ms. Wang's development time is still short, the speed of your career development is astonishingly fast, and almost all of this is based on the solid technical foundation and product quality, rather than simply relying on luck, and the kind of high and low Low, not fully guaranteed sales eloquence. Time period, high level, and you are still so young, even if I want to change jobs... Hehe, at least I have to stay for ten years, right?"

Having said that, both of them couldn't help laughing easily. Including Monica, including Alice.

To say that the position of secretary of the board of directors is indeed very unusual.

In fact, after most people have reached the executive level in the company, it is difficult for them to change jobs, especially for the secretary of the board of directors. Unless they are just a group of airborne troops, the relationship with the company is limited.

Yep, that's the problem. After all, people have feelings. When a low-level employee works hard step by step and moves to a high-level position in the company, the time and effort he put in will naturally make him reluctant to leave here again. Looking at this entire cycle, it is obvious that the unit is often five years.

It is said that the work of the Big Four accounting firms is intensive, and the income after job-hopping is high, so the high job-hopping rate cannot retain people, but that is also because it is indeed a standard one-year promotion, one-year salary increase, and only five years It is the manager, and the senior manager for seven years has a 100% monthly income of more than 10,000 US dollars. And if you can really reach the partner level after seven years and enjoy the right to dividends, your annual income will be more than 500,000 U.S. dollars!

You know, as an accountant, what you pay attention to is work experience. One year in an accounting firm is completely equivalent to three to five years in an ordinary company. Actual business ability is a universal pass, but if anyone in the firm quits an ordinary company, it's fine if they don't get a salary increase. Can they still reduce their salary? Therefore, unless an accountant has really reached the level of a partner in a firm, he will be able to change jobs every second...

But as many people know, accountants, secretaries, CFOs, and board secretaries are all positions that hold the most core secrets of a large enterprise. Even in the airborne troops, it's fine if one person doesn't sit in this position. If he does, it will be very difficult to move his butt.

That's why Monica had the guts to extend the contract for another ten years, even though she has only worked with Alice for more than half a year so far. It's not that simple to change the secretary of the board, especially when Alice is still in the period of rapid career development, the years before and after thirteen years are really not long!

"Okay, okay, I won't change jobs for ten years!" Alice laughed, holding a half-full cup of coffee without spilling it: "Then we have to discuss the marriage leave and maternity leave in advance. That's all right, but don't just give me a half-year vacation when I need you!"

"Please don't worry about this, Wang...Alice." Monica sipped her Mocha lightly and said, "I am an absolute career woman. Although I have been in love, they all ended without a problem. In the past six months, I believe you And seeing how hard I work, that’s what I love the most.”

Admittedly, this makes Alice irrefutable. You must know that her energy will never be lacking. It is not a problem to work all night for several days in a row. During this period, although Monica has rest, she is sleeping directly in the research institute or the umbrella company. On call.

"Okay, that's good, that's good."

After drinking the cappuccino in two sips, Alice beckoned to the messenger again: "Pour me a cup of charcoal, thank you."

Sitting opposite, Monica slightly raised her slender willow eyebrows: "That's very thick."

"Because I have to work hard again today~" She moved her hands and realized that the old cup had been taken away. Alice simply took out a tissue and wiped her clean hands: "The most important thing, please contact me immediately The relevant departments have installed all the telephone lines for me. Grandma Te, the office building, it’s such a situation that you can’t even get a landline, but it’s a good thing it’s also installed the water pipes!”

I started thinking about it again and again, but how can I blame others? Which office building did not arrange all the relevant hardware when it was officially put into operation? The house I built, I am anxious to settle in, now I am missing this or that, of course I have to swallow the knocked out teeth~

"No problem, I'll be in touch right away, but it's already afternoon, and they probably won't be able to install it for us until tomorrow. Is there someone you need to contact urgently? I brought my phone."

With that said, Monica had already taken out her mobile phone from her purse. What a big mobile phone, Motorola's efficiency is bad enough, when will we be able to research the classic clamshell phone, I can't leave everything to Alice! ?

With a humming laugh, Alice took the phone.
