Chapter 209 – 207: Instead of Falling, Lin Dong Becos the Assistant Manager

“Ladies and gentlen, that concludes today’s eting. It looks like we’ll need to work so overti in the coming days.”

Watching the video, Lin Dong was about to remove his headset when he realized the video conference hadn’t ended imdiately.

Manager Zheng was still looking at the screen.

For so reason, even though it was just a departnt eting, Lin Dong always felt that Manager Zheng’s gaze was on him.

He quickly put his headset back on tightly.

Manager Zheng spoke again in the video.

“Don’t be in a hurry to log off, everyone. I want to make a very serious and solemn announcent to the entire departnt right here, right now.”

In the video, Zheng Shou was sitting in his office, with a traditional Chinese ink painting hanging on the wall behind him.

The painting bore the large characters for “Integrity and Humility.”

Paired with his serious expression right now, a wave of panic suddenly surged in Lin Dong’s heart.

Directly telling him seed sowhat ominous.

As expected, a second later, his video feed was moved by Zheng Shou to the very center of the entire eting.

There he was, placed directly under everyone’s eyes.

Lin Dong quickly sat up straight, waiting for Zheng Shou to speak.

Visibly, Zheng Shou’s expression shifted from stern and serious to a smile.

“Hahaha, although what I’m about to say is a very serious matter, you don’t all need to look so somber!”

“Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to formally comnd our departnt’s Lin Dong right here.”

With a smile on his face, Zheng Shou looked completely different from the displeased man he had montarily shown.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Manager Zheng chose to praise Lin Dong now, in the middle of the night.

After all, they all knew Lin Dong from the departnt. He hadn’t been there long, only about six months, and hadn’t shown any extraordinary performance, but he hadn’t made any mistakes either; he was quite an average employee.

So, everyone was bafflingly trying to figure out what Manager Zheng was praising Lin Dong for.

Even Lin Dong himself was utterly confused. Seeing Manager Zheng’s expression just monts before, he even thought he might be getting fired.

But now the tone had shifted to praising him?

What was this about?

Still, it was supposed to be a complint, so it should be good news, right?

Lin Dong didn’t think too much and just waited quietly.

At this mont, Zheng Shou took out a small booklet; nobody could see what was written on it, but everyone knew what it was for.

Although Manager Zheng usually didn’t interfere much in departnt affairs, he was serious about personnel changes.

This booklet in his hand was the record of employees’ rewards and punishnts, and at each monthly departnt eting, he would bring it out.

Based on the information recorded therein, he would decide so people’s stays and moves, promotions and demotions.

Seeing this booklet, Lin Dong suddenly beca nervous.

“He says he wants to comnd , it shouldn’t an that he’s firing or moving to a worse position, right?”

Lin Dong felt uneasy.

But Zheng Shou didn’t speak, and nobody dared to ask.

They just saw their Manager Zheng, head down, marking and drawing with a pen in the booklet for about a minute before finally raising his head.

The firm smile was back on his face, resembling the joker card, with the corners of his mouth slightly turning up.

“Haha, okay, the next announcent I have to make is about a departntal position change.”

Indeed, it was a position change. Everyone who guessed this breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was only a change in position, it ant it was just concerning Lin Dong alone.

If it was about performance evaluation, then it ant that several people might be leaving the departnt tonight.

Although companies like Shengda and Tencent Huawei had internal competition, they also had a system of elimination for those at the bottom.

Normally, a departnt would lose one or two poorly performing employees each month.

However, Zheng Shou was relatively lenient in this aspect, so over the past few years, not many people had left the departnt due to this elimination system.

Most people left because the departnt was too lax, moving on to places with fiercer competition.

After all, the greater the competition, the more opportunities there are.

Shengda had already beco a well-known internet retirent ho.

While others were not in a hurry, Lin Dong was.

A job transfer, where could they possibly transfer him to?

He was just an ordinary employee who hadn’t achieved any outstanding performance, just a dead fish.

This job transfer wouldn’t be moving him from a business position to an operations position, would it?

The operations position had been much more exhausting than the business one lately.

While Lin Dong was wildly speculating, Zheng Shou also announced his decision.

“Given Lin Dong’s serious work attitude and his proactive determination, I’ve decided, starting from Tomorrow, to promote Lin Dong as our departnt’s Vice Manager!”

The smile on Zheng Shou’s face beca even more brilliant.

Due to drinking too much, his eyes were red, even the reflected light from the phone screen was red.

“Ah? Manager, you’re not joking, right? You want to promote to Vice Manager?”

Lin Dong incredulously dug at his ears.

He simply couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

Manager Zheng had actually said he wanted to promote him to Vice Manager?

This happiness had co too suddenly, hadn’t it?

He hadn’t done anything! And now he was the second-in-command of the departnt?

“No joke, I really appreciate you, starting from Tomorrow, you will be our mobile gaming operations departnt’s Vice Manager.”

“I’ll report your job transfer to the higher-ups after dawn.”

Zheng Shou closed the booklet in his hands.

Apart from him, no one could see the line written on the booklet: “Make an employee do sothing he’s not capable of, and he will naturally have to leave.”

Upon hearing Manager Zheng’s words, Lin Dong felt himself floating on air.

He beca a Vice Manager!?

He really beca the Vice Manager of the operations departnt!

A position second only to Manager Zheng!

“Thank you, Manager, for your cultivation, I will definitely continue to work hard!”

Although he was very happy, Lin Dong did not forget who had made this decision.

Until he surpassed Zheng Shou, Zheng Shou would always be his direct superior, so buttering up was certainly the right move.

“Hmm, do your best, Vice Manager Lin!”

“Alright, today’s eting ends here. I apologize for calling everyone to a eting so late, Tomorrow I’ll treat the whole departnt to afternoon tea!”

Zheng Shou nodded, not minding Lin Dong’s joyful twists and turns in front of the cara, exchanged a few polite words with other staff, and then closed the video conference.

Watching the screen go black, Lin Dong finally couldn’t help bursting into wild laughter.

At this ti, other colleagues in the departnt’s WeChat group also sent congratulatory ssages for the promotion.

“Congratulations! Congratulations, Vice Manager Lin!”

“Yes! It’s unbelievable, Vice Manager Lin hasn’t been in our departnt long and has already risen to such a position!”

“There’s always soone stronger among the strong!”

“Vice Manager Lin’s solid and diligent work attitude is sothing we should all learn from!”

“Congratulations! Vice Manager Lin, you must treat us to a al Tomorrow!”

“…”

The continuous ssages in the group included sincere congratulations, so that were tinged with envy, and even so who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Reading the ssages in the group, Lin Dong’s face revealed a smug smile: “Hmph, just be sour about it!”

“After all, I am already the Vice Manager!”

Thinking of this, he blissfully lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
