Lin Man felt that the presence of this new interpreter from who knows where was an unnecessary imposition on her operations, especially this late in the game.She always ran a tight ship, especially when dealing with important events. For the coming conference, she had handpicked experienced technicians and marketers who spoke fluent English to showcase their products.
While there were foreigners that did not speak English, the general consensus was that this common language would be the primary option for communication for the attendees who did not speak the local tongue. She had also made arrangements for special clients.
"She will not be responsible for the showcases or general products exposition. She is the President"s personal interpreter and translator. You will need to provide materials which can help her understand Etude Technologies." a.s.sistant Chen explained.
Lin Man"s eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise at the words. She looked at the ignored Hu Lei again and with interest. How did she manage to find such an important seat in the company without knowing anything? Was it some kind of unspoken rules?
She shook her head in her mind. It was impossible because the President was a rigid individual, emotionally and socially, based on her careful observation. However, she could not believe that there was no strange business involved.
Fortunately, Etude Technologies was not a place that anyone could remain without skills. She was quite certain that the woman would be gone shortly. There was no way she would even scratch the surface of the company before the end of the week. For now, she would observe.
"I will provide all the essential materials immediately. Where will she be working?" With the prospect of the elimination of the midget, her level of cooperation increased exponentially.
a.s.sistant Chen looked at the distracted Hu Lei with a frown. He could not understand the logic of hiring a woman who showed little initiative and motivation in relation to the company. Like Lin Man, he did not approve of her, but he hid it well. He intended to make alternate arrangements for the coming week.
Regrettably, he could not take any action against her. He was the only one who knew that the matter was related to an old favour between the President"s father and an old friend. However, he did not agree with this sudden hiring. It was extremely risky to put her in an important position without any understanding of her abilities and personality.
Unfortunately, it was not his call.
"Please find her a place with the marketing staff on the ninth floor." He said.
With one last look at the two women, he walked out.
Hu Lei looked at the Amazonian with a small smile.
"Thank you in advance for your help, Sister Lin." She spoke, attempting to sweeten the lady, now that she had been left in an alien land.
Lin Man was startled by the statement coming from Hu Lei. It was obvious that the shameless girl was attempting to curry favour with her. She frowned at her in disapproval, but looking at that upturned pure face, she could not speak the chastising words in her mind. She could only swallow them and gesture for her to follow her.
The marketing level was below the managerial floor, but the ambience was completely different. Compared to the upper floor, the s.p.a.ce was more colourful, and it did not have individual offices. The open floor plan and the cubicles captured exactly what Hu Lei had pictured when she thought of working in a normal company. In supreme
Lin Man stood at the middle of the office and introduced her to the numerous curious eyes before ushering her to an unoccupied desk.
"I will have your learning materials sent over right away. There is a lot of content to cover, so you will need to be efficient." She spoke before leaving.
Hu Lei was fired up. If a challenge involved reading, no one could beat her. She smiled eerily. Unfortunately, her imagination did not grasp the reality. Though she was a genius at studying, she could not help feeling a little depressed when her newly acquired desk was suddenly covered with piles of doc.u.ments.
She sighed sadly like an abandoned kitten before picking up the first of the countless binders.
