Chapter 162 Promotion Diary: Qingchen

In the heart of a bustling metropolis stands a magnificent skyscraper, the headquarters of the renowned Jia Shi Group. Jia Shi Group boasts numerous subsidiaries and a constantly expanding business footprint, with branches springing up across the country like mushrooms after rain. Recently, the positions of marketing and business manager at a promising subsidiary in the eastern part of the city suddenly became vacant, causing considerable concern among the group's senior management. A heated discussion about "parachuting in a manager" ensued in the headquarters conference room.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn yet tense. Around the oval conference table sat the group's top executives, each with a serious expression, their eyes fixed on the large screen displaying the subsidiary's current operational data and information on two vacant positions. Seated at the head of the table was the group's CEO, Li Yuan. She wore a well-tailored black suit, her short, neat hair giving her a sharp look, and her eyes exuded an undeniable authority.

"Everyone, the main reason I've gathered you all here today is to discuss the selection of managers for the Marketing and Business Departments at our East City subsidiary. These two departments are crucial to the subsidiary's development, and we must find suitable people to fill the vacancies as soon as possible to ensure the subsidiary's smooth operation." Li Yuan's clear and powerful voice broke the brief silence in the meeting room.

Human Resources Director Lin Yue adjusted her glasses, cleared her throat, and said, "Mr. Li, after our department's initial screening, two candidates have stood out. One is Li Shiqing from the Marketing Department. She hasn't worked in the Marketing Department of the group's subsidiary for very long, but her performance has consistently been among the best. She not only possesses solid professional knowledge but also excellent team management skills and innovative thinking. The other is Zhang Chen from the Business Department. Like Li Shiqing, he joined the company and successfully secured several important projects with extremely high customer satisfaction. He has rich experience in business development and keen market insight."

CFO Chen Yu frowned and raised his concerns: "These two employees are undoubtedly capable, but they are still very young. Wouldn't it be too hasty to promote them directly to the position of subsidiary manager? After all, the situation of the subsidiary is more complicated and the challenges it faces are greater."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, and said, "Director Chen's concerns are not without merit, but we cannot deny their potential just because they are young. Young people are often more energetic and creative, and I believe they are capable of handling these two positions. Moreover, our group has always advocated internal promotion, providing opportunities for capable employees to advance, which is also a way to motivate them."

At this point, Wang Qiang, the Marketing Director, also stood up to support Li Yuan's point of view: "Mr. Li is right. Shi Qing has performed exceptionally well in our department. She has a very accurate grasp of market trends, and the several promotional plans she proposed have achieved remarkable results. I believe she will definitely be able to lead the team to create even better performance."

Not to be outdone, Zhao Gang, the business director, quickly added, "Zhang Chen is also a capable person. His communication skills with clients are top-notch, and he can always resolve crises and facilitate cooperation at critical moments. I have complete confidence in appointing him as the business manager of the subsidiary."

After a heated discussion, the senior management finally reached a consensus and decided to appoint Li Shiqing as the Marketing Manager of the East City subsidiary and Zhang Chen as the Business Manager. Li Yuan picked up a pen, signed her name on the document, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Meanwhile, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen were busy at their respective workstations. Li Shiqing stared at the computer screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard, planning a solution for an upcoming project. Zhang Chen, on the other hand, was on the phone discussing cooperation details with a client, his voice loud and confident. Suddenly, both of their phones rang simultaneously—message alerts from the company's internal work group.

Li Shiqing put down her work, unlocked her phone, and saw a striking notification: "After deliberation by the group's senior management, Li Shiqing has been appointed as the Marketing Manager of the Chengdong Subsidiary, and Zhang Chen has been appointed as the Business Manager of the Chengdong Subsidiary, effective immediately. We hope that the two new managers will live up to expectations and lead the subsidiary teams to achieve outstanding results."

Li Shiqing's eyes widened in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes hard and checked again. Yes, she really had been promoted! Excitedly, she jumped up from her chair, clenched her fists, and shouted, "Yay! I got promoted!"

Her colleagues were startled by her actions and cast curious glances at her.

Li Shiqing realized her lapse in composure, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sorry, I got too excited."

On the other side, Zhang Chen also saw the message. A wide smile spread across his face. He quickly picked up his phone and sent Li Shiqing a message: "Shiqing, congratulations! We're managers now!"

Li Shiqing quickly replied, "Congratulations to you both! What a coincidence that we got promoted at the same time!"

Zhang Chen replied, "This shows that we are evenly matched. We should cooperate well in the future and make a big splash!"

Li Shiqing replied with a "Go for it!" emoji, then began packing her things, preparing to face the new challenge.

The next morning, as soon as Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen entered the company gate, they attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stopped what they were doing and curiously looked at the two newly appointed managers.

Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen followed Xiao Zhou to their respective offices. The offices were simply and elegantly furnished, with sunlight streaming through the windows and onto the desks, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Li Shiqing sat in her chair, looking around, her heart filled with anticipation and longing.

During the lunch break, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen met in the company cafeteria. They carried their trays and found a seat by the window.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Shi Qing, how are you feeling today? Are you adjusting well to the new environment?"

Li Shiqing nodded and said, "It's alright. The staff are all very enthusiastic and cooperative. How about you?"

Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow and said proudly, "Of course, the brothers in the business department are all very capable. I believe we will definitely achieve results in a short period of time."

Li Shiqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't get too cocky. We still have many challenges ahead of us, so we can't let our guard down."

Zhang Chen's smile faded, and he nodded seriously, saying, "You're right. We need to hurry up and develop a work plan to familiarize ourselves with the subsidiary's business as soon as possible. By the way, I heard that the subsidiary has an important project recently. We need to study it carefully and try to win this project, making a strong start for us in the subsidiary."

Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "I've heard about that too. I've already asked my colleagues in the marketing department to collect relevant information. Let's have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the project plan."

Zhang Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "Great idea, let's do it!"

In the afternoon, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen convened a project kick-off meeting with employees from the marketing and sales departments. The atmosphere in the meeting room was both lively and tense. Li Shiqing stood in front of the projector and gave a detailed presentation on the project's background, objectives, and market analysis. Zhang Chen, taking into account the actual situation of the sales department, proposed the project's sales strategy and customer expansion plan. Employees actively shared their opinions and suggestions, brainstorming and working together to strategize for the project.

After several hours of discussion, a preliminary project plan was finally completed. Li Shiqing looked at everyone and said with satisfaction, "Today's discussion was very fruitful, and everyone has worked hard. Next, we will divide the work and cooperate according to this plan, and go all out to promote the project. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely succeed."

The employees nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing unwavering belief and determination.

In the days that followed, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen led the marketing and sales teams, working day and night on the front lines of the project. They encountered one difficulty and challenge after another, but they never gave up. Li Shiqing, with her keen market insight, adjusted the project promotion strategy in a timely manner; Zhang Chen, with his excellent communication skills, conducted several in-depth negotiations with the client.

After more than a month of hard work, the project finally reached its crucial moment—the final signing ceremony with the client. At the ceremony, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen, dressed formally and looking very confident, stood before the client. They explained the project's advantages and highlights in detail, successfully persuading the client. Ultimately, both parties smoothly signed the cooperation agreement.

After the signing ceremony, the entire subsidiary erupted in cheers. Employees jumped for joy, congratulating Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen embraced tightly, tears of emotion glistening in their eyes. At this moment, all their hard work and dedication had been rewarded.

Under the leadership of Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen, the Chengdong subsidiary's performance has been booming, becoming one of the group's most promising subsidiaries. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen have also received high recognition and praise from the group's senior management for their outstanding work. Their story has spread widely within the group, inspiring more employees to strive for their dreams.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this year, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen not only achieved great success at work, but their relationship also subtly changed. They supported and encouraged each other at work, gradually developing a deep affection for one another.
