MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 747 Applicants

   Chapter 747 Candidates

  In the spring of Quannan, the wind is blowing, bringing up pieces of dust, the sky is gray, and a layer of dust can fall on the car parked in the open air in half an hour.

The black BMW 5 series sedan turned north from the central intersection, and soon came to the vicinity of the provincial innovation port. The female driver looked up at the towering dozens of buildings, turned the steering wheel and entered from the main entrance. It was rebuilt from the square. In the parking lot, walk along the long passage and park in a parking space on the west side.

  Wrapped in a silk scarf, Geng Hongju got off the car, and the wind blowing from the middle of the two buildings made the beige windbreaker stick tightly to her slightly stout body.

   picked up the black briefcase, glanced to the west, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, Geng Hongju walked towards the Lu's Restaurant Building.

   I came here once last year, and I am not completely unfamiliar with this place.

   But last time, Geng Hongju represented KFC and Yum China.

   This time, she only represented herself.

Geng Hongju left Yum China. The earliest problems with KFC and Pizza Hut were all in Taidong. Even if these two brands have food safety problems in most stores across the country, she, the general manager of Taidong Region, has a lot to do. shirk responsibility.

After    Executive Vice President Fang Weibing talked to her, Yum China officially terminated her work contract.

   In other words, within Yum China, she became the first responsible person for the various problems that occurred in KFC and Pizza Hut this time.

   was very helpless, but had no choice.

   Don't look at Yum!'s competition with Lu's Catering, where she was tortured to death, but for an individual like her, it was a powerful being that could not be defeated.

   Geng Hongju can only strive for the most favorable conditions for himself within a certain range, and left Yum after the New Year.

  Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to take a good rest for a while, or even go on a tour.

  Who knows, after ten days of rest, it will be awkward and uncomfortable.

   Maybe it’s because I’m used to a busy life, and I’m extremely uncomfortable when I’m free. I feel like life has changed. People are groggy all day long, and they don’t even have a good head.

   Geng Hongju's self-requirements have always been strict, and she knows that she can't stay idle any longer.

   So, I was thinking about finding another job.

   With her resume and ability, it is not difficult to find a job, even if she leaves Yum with the blame, it is easy to find another job.

   But it is difficult to find someone who is good at it and has a suitable income.

  Yumm is a foreign company. Geng Hongju has achieved the position of general manager of the extremely important market of Taidong in Yum. The income has nothing to say, which definitely makes the executives of private enterprises in China drool with envy.

  I am used to high incomes, and when I look at those jobs where the salary is only one-third, or even one-fourth, or even one-fifth of the previous salary, forget about the awkwardness in my heart.

   The psychological barrier of salary alone is not easy.

   Not to mention issues such as the content and nature of the work.

After thinking about it, Geng Hongju set her sights on KFC's biggest competitor in the Chinese market. In the Taidong Evening News, she saw the recruitment advertisement of Lu's Catering more than once. The middle and high management positions of Lu's Catering, except for In addition to exploring potential internally, we have been recruiting externally.

Lu's Catering has achieved the top-level scale in the catering industry in the province, and it is definitely a first-class nationally. What happened this month has made Geng Hongju very sure that Lu's Catering will have a broader development in the future, and it will not be like many in China. Just like the private enterprises that developed, they died inexplicably.

  Even, Yum didn't dare to take a shot at Lu's Catering for a short period of time.

   Such a company that has long-term development prospects, is basically the same as the industry it was engaged in before, and is said to be very well-paid, is simply the best choice.

   In front of the Lu's Restaurant Building, Geng Hongju looked up at the towering building and resolutely walked into the main entrance.

   Deep down, I have no complaints or opinions about Yum. After all, the problem with KFC is not because of Taidong, but a nationwide one.

   Being swept out of the house like this, anyone who wants to face will inevitably have an idea.

   Take the elevator to go upstairs. As soon as you get out of the elevator, you will be at the front desk. The sweet-looking girl immediately came over: "Hello, welcome to Lu's Restaurant. How can I help you?"

   Geng Hongju took off the scarf, put it on her hand, and took out a resume and a job posting in the newspaper: "I'm here to apply for the deputy director of the business department."

   The front desk looked at him for a while. The other party was in his thirties and looked average. Like most middle-aged women, his body was already fat and he looked ordinary.

   "Sit down for a while." The front desk looked at her resume and brought Geng Hongju to the bench: "I will notify the personnel department immediately."

   Geng Hongju nodded slightly, sat on the bench and looked in. Through the glass curtain wall, you could vaguely see a lot of people busy, but the others could not be seen.

   The elevator sounded, and a woman of twenty-seven or eight came out of the elevator.

Geng Hongju first glanced over, and saw the tag on her chest, with the words of the Ministry of Personnel vaguely visible, and then looked up, she knew this person, the last time she came to see Lu Dong, she should have seen it once, it seems that the last name is Xue .

   As soon as Xue Tian got out of the elevator, he saw Geng Hongju, somewhat surprised, what did the people from KFC come to do? She maintained a polite smile and walked over: "Mr. Geng, when did you come here? Are you here?"

   The front desk is coming over. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, Mr. Geng? Mr. Geng of which company? Going to Lu's Catering to apply for a job?

   "Mr. Xue, this is the lady who came to apply for the job." The front desk quickly introduced: "Ms. Geng, this is Mr. Xue, who is in charge of personnel and general affairs in our company."

  …………

   was informed by Xue Tian that Lu Dong was somewhat surprised when Geng Hongju, the former general manager of Yum China's Taidong Region, came to Lv's Catering to apply for the position of deputy director of the business department.

   After all, the last time I saw Geng Hongju, Geng Hongju was still from Yum and KFC, and was a direct competitor of Lu's Catering.

   It happened that Du Xiaobing was there, so Lu Dong and Lao Du simply went over together.

   "It's weird, why did she come here to apply for a job?" Lu Dong said as he walked: "Lao Du, is there any conspiracy?"

Du Xiaobing knew that Lu Dong thought about things a lot, so he started from a simple point: "Didn't you hear what Xue Tian said? She became Yum's scapegoat and was fired by Yum. With her previous resume and working experience, our company is the best Good place to go."

  Lu Dong came to the elevator and pressed down: "We still have to be cautious, if Yum gives us a hard plan..."

  Du Xiaobing nodded slightly: "It is necessary to be cautious, but Geng Hongju is also a talented person. Being in charge of such a large area as Taidong, he must have a very good business."

   Lu Dong understands that talent is rare. Lu's Catering has poached many people from KFC and McDonald's, but this level has never happened before.

   is different from other industries, like Geng Hongju, who come to the battlefield and are plug-and-play.

   But Geng Hongju's resume as regional general manager at Yum is like a double-edged sword.

   This resume must give Geng Hongju a strong business capability. After all, Yum is a foreign-funded enterprise, not a public entity.

   Similarly, this is also where Lu Dong is scruples.

   Getting on the elevator, Du Xiaobing said: "If such a person really switches to the business, the business department can have one more hero."

  Lu Dong thought for a while, and said, "See the person first and then talk about it."

  The two went downstairs, came to the reception room of the personnel department, and met Geng Hongju who was waiting here.

   Lu Dong and her could be considered acquaintances, they just exchanged a few words, and then focused on introducing Du Xiaobing.

   After all, when he entered the business department, the direct leader was Lao Du.

  Lu Dong was not polite and asked directly, "Ms. Geng, why did you leave Yum?"

Geng Hongju did not intend to hide it, because with the ability of Lu's catering, it is not difficult to find out the specific reason: "The Sudan Red and Ice Cube Colony incidents all broke out from Quannan. As the general manager of Yum Taidong Region, I cannot shirk. The responsibility is also considered the first party, Yum and I terminated the labor contract last month.”

  Xue Tian, ​​as the general manager of the personnel department, immediately grasped one of the keys: "Is there a non-compete clause in the contract between Yum and you?"

   "No." Geng Hongju said, "I have a copy of the contract cancellation here, but I didn't bring it with me."

  Xue Tian asked again: "What about other restrictions?"

Geng Hongju said very seriously: "I have resisted all the responsibility for this incident, Mr. Lu, Mr. Du, Mr. Xue, you are all senior practitioners in this industry, you will understand even if I don't say something, KFC and McDonald's appeared. The problem is a national problem. The problem is not a certain person or department, but a very serious problem with Yum!'s own operating mechanism and internal rules and procedures, but the problem is all on me. , but I also fought for my due rights.”

   Xue Tian didn't say much, but made a note in the notebook. If Geng Hongju was to be used in it, she would definitely find someone to do a detailed investigation.

   Lu Dong looked at Du Xiaobing. After all, he was recruiting the deputy director of Du Xiaobing's department.

  Du Xiaobing's question was very simple: "Ms. Geng, tell me about your resume and advantages."

Geng Hongju adjusted her breathing slightly, organized her language, and said, "I officially joined KFC in 1991. I first engaged in advertising outreach, and later switched to business, because I am from Taidong. When Yum established Taidong branch, I participated in it. The establishment of Taidong branch, and has been in charge of KFC's front-line business..."

   There is no doubt that this is a senior practitioner and manager of the western fast food industry, and he has a very deep understanding and management experience in this industry.

   It is true that KFC has a big problem, but the problem is not with one person, but within Yum.

Geng Hongju has a wealth of social experience. Just now, she heard something special about Du Xiaobing's question. After introducing her resume, she said, "I have worked at KFC for 12 years, and I have a very good understanding of all aspects of Western-style fast food, not limited to KFC and McDonald's. , I understand the advantages of these Western-style fast food, and I also know their shortcomings."

"I have learned about Lu's Catering, and your company's management has learned a lot from KFC's model. If I join Lu's Catering, I can effectively help Burger King avoid some of the detours that KFC has gone through. In addition, KFC's food operation regulations and procedures. , even after these two serious quality and safety incidents, there are still great deficiencies, I can assist Burger King to improve and avoid risks in advance..."
