An's Group has a long history. Its earliest success and wealth began with a pawn shop started one hundred years ago. Through the pawn shop, the An family built connections and accumulated many resources. After amassing a certain amount of wealth, the An ancestors began expanding into other industries, running restaurants, hotels, transportation, and education before eventually settling on real estate. Now the An's business spans the entire North Wen Country.
It can be said that all the famous buildings in North Wen Country, including shopping malls, residences, hotels, and landmark buildings, are almost all built by An's Group.
An Nuan stepped into the An's elevator and pressed the floor number. Her father had arranged for her position as Marketing Director, mainly responsible for planning the sales of An's Group's projects.
The reason for arranging this position was, first, because An Zhao had previously been the Marketing Manager here, the manager directly under the Sales Director. And the previous Sales Director had been arranged by An Nuan's father to be the General Manager of another subsidiary. Second, as a business, the most important thing is the sales force. A company's core technologies and expertise are just its own capabilities. Steady development according to market demand is enough. The place where abilities can really be honed is doing marketing.
Marketing can fastest understand the market, fastest grasp market economics, and fastest know what kind of talents the so-called commercial market needs!
No wonder when she said she wanted to join the company and be An Xiao's direct subordinate, her father was so excited to immediately agree.
It was clearly completely consistent with the career path he had previously planned for her.
The elevator arrived.
She walked into the Sales Department.
The first thing she saw was a huge office.
Although it was still early, all the employees were already sitting at their desks, computers open, and working.
An Nuan walked to the Sales Department's front desk and politely asked, "Excuse me, where is the Director's office?"
"Are you looking for the Director?" the employee asked, seeming somewhat indifferent.
"No, I'm..."
Suddenly the office phone on the employee's desk rang.
She picked up directly, her voice instantly becoming pleasant, "Hello, Sales Department."
"Secretary Zhang, Manager An is coming up now. Remember to get ready to welcome her." The voice on the phone was stern.
"Got it. I'll go to the elevator entrance to welcome her right away. May I ask what color clothes Manager An is wearing today?"
"A white shirt, black skirt suit, with a khaki coat."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and now seemed to finally notice An Nuan was still there. With some perfunctoriness she said, "Sorry, I have a reception task today. If you're looking for the Director, go straight down the right hall to the end. You'll see two offices with Director's Office written on the doors."
Having said that, she didn't even glance at An Nuan before hurrying away.
An Nuan gave a faint smile, said nothing, and walked in the direction indicated.
Without thinking, she knew how high An Xiao's position in the company had been before. The Marketing Manager paled in comparison to a Marketing Director's prestige.
An Nuan's footsteps stopped outside the Director's office. She pushed open the door and went in.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed.
The office right now was a complete mess.
The previous Director had probably left in a hurry last night, packing up his things overnight. The cleaning crew hadn't had time to tidy up yet this morning.
An Nuan thought for a moment before exiting the office. She happened to see a cleaning lady walking past and hurriedly called out, "Auntie, could you please tidy up this office a bit?"
"No time." The cleaning lady directly refused. "I haven't even finished the room next door yet. How do I have time for this one! You can either tidy it yourself, or wait until I'm done next door and come back."
Having said that, she hurried away.
An Nuan's expression changed slightly.
She went to the next room.
Written on the door was "Marketing Manager."
So this was An Xiao's office.
Logically, her father had arranged for her and An Xiao to join at the same time.
But of course, Sales had directly chosen to prepare for An Xiao first.
Right now there were many people inside and outside An Xiao's office. The office was clean and tidy, with even fresh flowers on the desk.
It was clearly carefully arranged.
After a while, An Nuan heard an anxious female voice coming from nearby, walking right past her, "Is it ready? Manager An will be here any minute. She's currently meeting the employees."
"It's ready." The person in charge quickly replied.
"Once it's ready, come out and wait at the door to welcome her. Yes, one on each side. Greet her when she arrives."
"Yes."
Just as the woman was about to leave, she suddenly rushed back into An Xiao's office. An Nuan saw her take out a bottle of perfume from her clothes and hurriedly spray before quickly leaving again.
An Nuan also inconspicuously moved away and went to stand at the side.
The employees lined up outside the office couldn't help whispering, "I wonder if this Manager An is any different from the previous Manager An?"
"What could be different? They're both royalty, neither can be offended. Be smart later, don't make any mistakes. Even the Director has to defer to Manager An, got it?"
"Got it, got it." The employee quickly agreed, looking extremely nervous.
Everyone seemed to have adjusted themselves into optimal emotional states.
Soon, a group of people could be seen walking over.
An Xiao walked in front, followed by Secretary Zhang Yuan who had ignored An Nuan earlier. More employees followed behind them.
The air was impressive.
Standing to the side, An Nuan sized up An Xiao's appearance.
Having never seen An Xiao's deferential manner in the An family, she really couldn't imagine this woman in a professional suit with an arrogant, delicate air was the same person.
An Nuan recalled her last life, when An Xiao had successfully gotten into Gu Yansheng's bed and arrogantly scolded her for being a cheap good-for-nothing who not only was useless, but also degraded Gu Yansheng's status.
Thinking back now, she who had become a housewife back then and placed all her heart and soul on Gu Yansheng was indeed cheap to the extreme.
"Welcome, Manager An!" The neat voices suddenly rang out sonorously.
The employees bowed 90 degrees to An Xiao, extremely respectful.
An Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't seem intimidated by the fanfare. Instead, there was even a hint of arrogance.
For a woman who had just graduated from university and entered society at 22 years old to remain so calm and even nonchalant in the face of an unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people, An Xiao's cunning and ability were indeed exceptional.
An Xiao nodded slightly to everyone.
At that moment, she displayed her sense of superiority over others, deliberately keeping distance between herself and the employees.
As she stepped in her high heels with a haughty, superior air, preparing to walk through the passage of assembled employees:
"An Xiao."
Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded from the inconspicuous area to the side.
