Chapter 47: Someone’s got Gu Xiao Xiao’s Back? (2)

By 9 o’clock, the marketing department started getting busy.

Gu Xiao Xiao sat down on her chair and carefully read over the reports Zhang Ya Li gave her and waited for the department head to return.

At around 10 am, the glass door was pushed open. Ma Tian Hua held his documents in hand and glanced over the room full of people. He then softly coughed.

“In less than two months it’ll be New Year’s. The days leading up to the end of the year are not the busiest time for our department, however, I do not want all of you to be taking it easy. Because right after the New Year’s, a huge project will fall on our shoulders.

Ma Tian Hua waved the file in his hand around and continued.

“Our company will be starting two projects next year. Our new director is not a cheap man. Just now in the meeting, he had mentioned that everyone who participates in the projects, based on performance, will be rewarded. As for the reward, it will be what you all like, cash. Even the lowest bonus will be this number.”

Ma Tian Hua took out his hand and spoke out slowly before everyone’s highly anticipated gaze, “$50,000. This is money on top of the company’s year-end bonus. As for other things, I don’t think I need to speak to it. You all understand.”

Ma Tian Hua’s words made Gu Xiao Xiao’s heart itch. Who doesn’t like gold and silver? Feng Yang pays its employees well and is well known for its generosity with employee benefits. The year-end bonus plus the project bonus will wind up being at least $70,000 to $80,000. Who wouldn’t want such good things to happen to them?”

“I have just received the list of names. Based on your performances from the recent two quarters, the company has compiled a list of names for who will be participating in the projects. The names I announce will go to the meeting room for a meeting today at 3:00 pm.”

Gu Xiao Xiao watched the show from her chair. She realized that these are the two projects Chu Yi Chen’s company is working on with Feng Yang. She wondered who would be so lucky to be chosen by the company.

“Gu Xiao Xiao.”

Ma Tian Hua announced this name last, which was not within anyone’s expectation, including Gu Xiao Xiao herself. She looked over to Ma Tian Hua and asked with a dumb smile, “Sir, did you read it wrong?”

“Is there another person in our department who shares that name?” Ma Tian Hua smiled, “Go pay human resources a visit, you are now an official employee.”

After he spoke, Gu Xiao Xiao could obviously feel the strange looks her colleagues were giving her.

Feng Yang Corporation is a place with intense competition. Ever since Gu Xiao Xiao started interning here, only months have passed and out of these months, she was on vacation for half of them…. She hasn’t even passed her normal internship period, how did she become an official full-time employee just like that? How can something so good happen to her?

Gu Xiao Xiao was at loss from all the attention she was getting. She slightly frowned and then walked out of the office slowly. She walked on for a long while before she exhaled in relief.

The procedure for transitioning from an intern to an employee went smoothly. After filling out all the forms, Gu Xiao Xiao went back to her cubicle and worked hard. She worked until lunchtime and then went to the lunchroom to get hot water for her instant noodles.

“How did Gu Xiao Xiao become a full-time employee so fast?”

“Who knows, that young girl is normally so quiet, I didn’t think she would do so well.”

“Everyone who works here is capable. But how come she gets special treatment? Comparing her to the group of interns who started with her, other than her, who else got a full-time position already? Someone’s definitely got Gu Xiao Xiao’s back, there is no other way she is moving up so fast!”
