Chapter 769: You Have a Conscience After All
In addition to these 3 announcements, Chen Fan also issued several appointment documents within the group.
After a period of evaluation, a batch of management-level employees were promoted.
Among them, the most notable one was the dismissal of Ding Dian from her position as the manager of Medal Club, and her reassignment to the group company as the Human Resources Department manager.
As the group's business continued to grow and develop, it was obvious to the discerning eye that Medal Club had become increasingly marginalized.
Even within the entire group, Medal Club definitely belonged to the less valued sectors.
A few years ago, the club was still the boss's most valued start-up industry. But in just a few short years, the club had become a retirement home within the group, becoming more and more marginalized. It's hard not to feel a bit wistful about it.
There was no help for it, who told their boss to be so incredibly exceptional?
And as the manager of the club, Ding Dian was almost a veteran-level manager who had started the business alongside Chen Fan.
From Medal Club to the group headquarters, she was now holding the very important position of HR manager.
It was definitely a triple jump, a promotion.
This was enough to show Chen Fan's absolute trust in Ding Dian.
With Ding Dian's departure, the club lost a managing director.
However, Chen Fan didn't rush to make an appointment, saying he would observe for a while longer.
Hearing this news, all the management levels in the club began to work hard and perform desperately, hoping that good fortune would fall on them.
After moving her personal belongings to the group building, Ding Dian didn't rush to tidy up. Instead, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the distant skyscrapers.
She felt a bit wistful. Initially, she had only opened a personal studio, and Chen Fan had barged in like a reckless youth, saying he wanted a design plan for a club.
Who would have thought that after just over 5 years, that reckless youth would turn into a towering tree.
And she herself couldn't even remember how she had agreed to join Chen Fan's team back then.
It seemed like she had been confused into getting on this pirate ship.
But thinking about it now, she was very grateful for her choice back then.
Someone knocked on the door.
Ding Dian quickly turned around, only to see Chen Fan standing at the door, smiling and asking, "May I come in?"
Ding Dian smiled too.
"Didn't they say you rarely work at the group office?"
Chen Fan joked, "It's your first day on the job, I had to come no matter what."
"So, how does the beautiful Miss Ding feel?"
"Congratulations to you."
Ding Dian felt a bit embarrassed, "Why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?"
Chen Fan widened his eyes: "I'm the boss, why should I discuss it with you?"
"By the way, you've got a promotion today, you must treat us. We've got to milk you for all you're worth."
"Let's call Guo Wendong for lunch together. I think that guy still has a bit of a thing for you."
A dangerous signal immediately flashed in Ding Dian's eyes.
"Do you want me to throw you out of here?"
"Treating is fine, but just the two of us. Don't let that guy come."
Chen Fan shook his head with a bitter smile.
It seems Old Guo has no chance in this lifetime.
Ding Dian picked up her phone from the table.
"Let's go. Time to eat."
"We're going now? Don't you want to tidy up first?"
"No need. I'm afraid I'll lose years off my life if a big boss like you helps me tidy up."
"I'll do it myself when we get back after eating."
The two took the elevator to the top floor. Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, Chen Fan was dumbfounded.
"You... when you said you'd treat me, you meant the company cafeteria?"
"Is that not okay? It's my first time here, I haven't eaten at the cafeteria yet."
Seeing that the woman had already stepped inside, Chen Fan shook his head with a bitter smile, completely at a loss with her.
Each with a tray, Chen Fan wasn't very hungry and just casually picked two dishes, while Ding Dian filled her plate to the brim.
"Can you eat that much?"
"None of your business!"
When it came time to pay, they realized they needed to use an employee card. Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan.
"I just reported for duty today, I haven't got my employee card yet. You pay."
Chen Fan was caught between laughter and tears: "You're treating me but I'm paying?"
"Don't be so stingy, hurry up."
Chen Fan rummaged in his pocket for a while, then suddenly realized.
"I've never eaten here either."
Ding Dian widened her eyes: "No way. You don't have an employee card either?"
Chen Fan felt a bit embarrassed: "I should have one, but I rarely carry that thing around."
"As the group's CEO, you don't bring your employee card to work. You should be severely criticized for not setting a good example."
Chen Fan shook his head helplessly and asked the staff member in charge of checkout: "Can we pay in cash?"
The young employee was a bit nervous, "Mr. Chen, y-yes, you can."
So Chen Fan took out a 100 yuan note and handed it over.
At this moment in the cafeteria, countless eyes were already staring at these two.
There was no help for it, the group's CEO, who was usually as elusive as a dragon, had actually come to eat in the cafeteria, and with a beautiful woman accompanying him.
It was too rare a sight.
The gossip in everyone's heart began to burn fiercely.
Chen Fan and Ding Dian found a table to sit down, eating and chatting, while the surrounding employees started taking out their phones to send messages as soon as they put down their things.
In no time, gossip was flying in the QQ groups of various departments within the group.
Within 10 minutes, more and more people began to appear in the cafeteria.
And soon everyone figured out the identity of the woman beside Mr. Chen.
The group's newly appointed Human Resources Department manager, Ding Dian.
In fact, there had long been rumors throughout the group about the relationship between Mr. Chen and Ding Dian.
Now it seems their relationship was indeed unusual.
Who knows, maybe they really did have that kind of relationship?
Otherwise, how could Ding Dian jump from being a club manager to the group's HR manager?
Faced with the gossipy gazes around them, Chen Fan and Ding Dian at the center of the gossip remained very calm.
"The food is not bad."
Ding Dian commented after taking a few bites.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "With the group's expansion, the office area in this building is already very tight."
"I've chosen a piece of land and plan to build a new group headquarters building next year. We won't have to rent anymore. For such a big group as ours, it would be a bit undignified if we always rented offices, wouldn't it?"
Ding Dian glanced at Chen Fan: "You don't look like a group CEO now, you look more like an old housewife haggling over prices in the vegetable market."
Chen Fan smiled and didn't get angry.
Ding Dian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why did you promote me to HR manager?"
Chen Fan smiled, "You don't like it?"
"I'm just worried I'm not capable enough for the job."
"It's fine. I believe in your abilities."
Ding Dian rarely showed a trace of girlish shyness.
"It's because of your trust in me that I feel pressure. I'm always worried I'll make mistakes and let you down."
Chen Fan chuckled.
"Actually, you don't need to feel pressured. This job is easy to do."
"Isn't an HR manager just in charge of people? Recruiting, firing employees... in the future, if you don't like someone, just fire them directly. I'll stand by you."
Ding Dian bit her spoon with her small mouth, mumbling, "If only it were that easy."
Chen Fan put away his smile and sighed, "To be honest, I really don't have any usable people around me anymore."
"The development is too fast, talent cultivation can't keep up. I can only pull over the people I trust more to try out first."
Ding Dian: "You can ask headhunters to help poach people."
Chen Fan nodded: "This is exactly why I made you HR manager."
"After we come back from the New Year, you'll be responsible for liaising with headhunting companies to poach a few reliable management talents. I can't trust others, so it can only be done by you."
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Ding Dian nodded very seriously.
"I understand."
"But you have to give me a raise."
Chen Fan was caught between laughter and tears: "I will. Is 100 yuan enough?"
Ding Dian pouted: "You're really stingy."
"Who's stingy between us? You said you'd treat me, but in the end I still paid."
Ding Dian glared: "I work my ass off for you, and you're not willing to treat me to a meal?"
Chen Fan quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"I'm willing. Of course I'm willing."
"Not just one meal, ten meals or a hundred meals are fine."
Ding Dian glared: "What if I want free meals for life?"
"Then I'll support you for life."
Ding Dian was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turning slightly red, then she snorted.
"You have a conscience after all."
