He raised an eyebrow and raised his hand to scratch my nose, “Smart!”
After thinking about it, I called Leo and he got through in a few minutes. I was a little surprised, I didn’t think he would pick up, after all Karina said his phone was not working.
I didn’t expect the phone to think a few times before he picked up, “How did you suddenly want to call me, I thought you were so happy that you just forgot about me as a brother.”
I held my forehead, smiled and said, “There’s been a lot going on lately, Karina called me just now and said something happened to Uncle Link, are you okay?”
Clearly felt him frowning on the phone, “What is she calling you for? Uncle Link’s business doesn’t need anyone’s intervention, it’s not that troublesome, you guys stay out of it.”
I hmmed and couldn’t resist speaking up, “What happened with you and Karina?”
I always felt that they were not as simple as arguing.
“Can how? But it’s just that little thing, do you have time tonight, come out to eat together, recently alone, too boring, find someone to talk to.”
Listening to his somewhat hangdog, but somewhat powerful and airless voice, I nodded and said, “Good, just in time to eat together.”
“OK, I’ll give you the address later.”
After that, he hung up the phone and I looked at Dennis, smiled and said, “Going out for dinner tonight?”
He raised an eyebrow, “You agreed?”
I nod my head.
He doesn’t speak up.
Sort of by default.
There was a knock on the office door and he answered, “Come in!” I have nothing to do, into the break room to find a jacket, later out cold, have to wear more.
“Mr. George, this is the collective report sent from Toby’s side today, I’ve printed them all out, there are a few points in the contract, you sign it, I’ll take it to the front desk tomorrow and mail it to you!” The one who spoke was the secretary.
Dennis nodded, his voice a muted hmm.
The atmosphere outside then quiet, I originally thought it was the end of the matter, the little secretary left, did not expect after a while, that little secretary suddenly spoke, “Mr. George, HR side asked me to give you some of the list of this year’s promotion staff, you look at it, such as what is the problem, you note.”
“Hmmm!” Still a nonchalant umph.
After about a while, I listened to the sound of heels leaving, came out of the lounge, clutching my jacket, saw Dennis catching up on paperwork, and wondered, “Are these papers going to be done today?”
He nodded, “Not much, get it done and we’ll go eat!”
I looked at the pile of documents, originally wanted to say that they go alone words have swallowed down, walked to his side, then turned up just a small secretary put down the promotion list, a list of thousands of people, I could not help but to speak.
“You, the chairman of the board, are also working hard, all these meticulous things to go through, thousands of people’s promotion lists, what are you going to do with them?”
He raised his eyes and swept a glance, and spoke, “You help me look at it, circle some employees whose years of service do not exceed three years, and the others will be promoted according to the original rules.”
I looked through it and looked at him and said, “Wouldn’t that be too hasty? I see some employees who haven’t been in the George Group for long, but have good abilities and performance, for such people, shouldn’t we consider giving them a promotion?”
He raised an eyebrow, “I’ll leave that to you!”
I purse my lips, “I …”
“You think I’ll have the energy to go over this pair of papers after I’m done with them?” He looked at me, very seriously, with the clear meaning that he was asking me to help him get this taken care of.
I pursed my lips, already agreed to accompany him over to the company, to help him deal with these matters, now he asked, I naturally have no reason to refuse, simply agreed.
There was a promotion application in the promotion file, I opened it and looked at it, it was Wendy’s, I read it carefully, the young girl was sincere, fluent in speech, carefully told her own requirements for the George Group and for herself over the years, I looked at her time of entry, it was only last year, this year’s time, and there is no special outstanding performance, after thinking about it, I did not approve her application. I didn’t approve her application for promotion.
Busy for a while, Dennis hand work done, see me in the promotion information, picked up Wendy’s promotion application form roughly read once, looked at me, “no need to be so serious, these years are not enough without special performance excellence, really are not put in the assessment content.”
I nodded my head and looked back at him instead, “Have you been very busy lately?”
He raised an eyebrow, “Well!”
I sighed, “These things were previously handled by the heads of various departments, now all handed over to you, you are not busy is strange, you at most look at the situation and contribution of several managers, discretionary consideration on the line.”
“There is a processed Du Ming list at the back, you can take a look!” He opened his mouth, kindly reminded, I froze for a moment, will be behind the file to find the document, read through, are the major general managers and senior set. ”
The feeling is that I myself superfluous every one of them to see? I could not help but be a little embarrassed for a while, laughed, embarrassed, “I said I did not see, do you believe it? ”
He pulled me up and said with a light smile, “I’m good, let’s go, I’ll just sign these things as soon as I can.”
I seriously doubt that he made me show it to him on purpose to make me wait for him.
Following Dennis into the elevator, he pressed me against it, his gaze sunken, “Not going to reward me for that?”
I didn’t react to what he wanted as a reward and floundered, “What reward?”
Looking at my bewildered look, he frowned, a handsome face revealed a few points of displeasure, childlike let go of me and stood aside by himself.
His childishness, not the first time I learned, so very active leaned on his side, pad feet in his lips and kissed, said, “If this does not work, go back at night to compensate you, how?”
This man is a thief good coaxing, smooth out the hair, his face showed a smile, tilted his head to look at me, “This is not bad.”
I pursed my lips and smiled lightly, remembering about Yara, I couldn’t help but say, “Dennis, my mom said she met her aunt in the hospital earlier and she so wanted to fall in love, have you been in touch with her lately?”
He shook his head, “Recently there are a lot of things to do, go see her after a while, she is old, living by herself is really lonely, it’s good to have someone with you.”
I nodded, also agree, Yara in the Gibson family so many years, either to take care of Yank Gibson or and Gloria fight, and later and Hank entangled, so many years, she does not seem to live a day of their own, and now can find and their own whiteheaded people, is also good!
The elevator door opened, Dennis pulled me out of the elevator, after work hours in the lobby of a lot of people, everyone off work did not rush to go, but are at the front desk to get up the hustle and bustle.
