　　Chapter 20: My Company Doesn’t Keep Waste (9)

　　After many site visits and meetings, the members of Huanyuan chose the most realistic and perfect solution Ah Xin has made. The entire company members were busy.
　　
　　The outstandingly capable Lin Siya was in charge of the branch company, which was approved by all the members, and Lin Siya’s performance over the past year or so had left any member of the company speechless and impressed.
　　
　　“Currently there are definitely not enough people, there is a need for new recruits, but before they are recruited, I suggest the company would conduct a collective training to improve the old employees’ individual abilities.” Lin Siya proposed during the meeting.
　　
　　Everyone looked at each other, and Li Xiaoyu was the first to agree, “I think it’s good.” The company was getting bigger and bigger, with more and more employees, out of selfish considerations, she wanted the old members of the company to continue to maintain a certain position, because suddenly being surpassed by the new employees that appeared, it was easy to undermine the confidence of the old employees, they would inevitably slacking in their work, and there would possibly occur the problem of rejecting the new employees.
　　
　　This problem can be avoided for a short time by improving the ability of the old employees, so that they won’t be immediately compared to the new employees. Then again, improving the personal quality ability of all employees is a good thing for the company.
　　
　　At this point, Li Xiaoyu realized profoundly, on the first month Lin Siya entered the company, it was her who was helping Lin Siya around, from the second month onwards, it was mostly Lin Siya who was helping her around.
　　
　　Her diploma wasn’t high, so Lin Siya recommended her some very practical management books to her. She also advised her to upgrade her education, telling her that although diploma isn’t everything, but it is better than doing nothing, if she’s studying seriously, she will learn useful knowledge, and suggested that she should take some time to study the evening class at university.
　　
　　She took the advice, signed up, and went to class every day after work. The time lasted a year and she felt that she had been transformed and wouldn’t see things as one-sidedly as before, and was inwardly very grateful to Lin Siya.
　　
　　“I also agree.” Chen Yi seconded, she found out that there were several technicians with good brains under her hands, and with a little more training, they could definitely become the backbone of the company.
　　
　　Compared to spending a lot of money to hire new good technicians, it was better to cultivate these old employees who were good themselves, which would definitely do more good than harm to the company.
　　
　　When she first saw Li Xiaoyu go to evening class at University, she didn’t care, and yet within a few months, she noticed Li Xiaoyu’s business ability had doubled, her solution was becoming more and more perfect, and the management of the marketing department was more formal.
　　
　　Chen Yi was itching to follow the enrolment, stopped playing games after work. From Monday to Friday she went to classes, weekend she self-studied English, after a few months, she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt as if she was looking at a professional.
　　
　　“President Yuan, what do you think?” Lin Siya scanned her eyes at Ah Xin, who hadn’t spoken, and pursed her lips, her fingers unconsciously squeezing the pencil.
　　
　　Ah Xin raised her eyes and said, “Yes.”
　　
　　When Lin Siya got her answer and a smile appeared in her eyes, she knew that Ah Xin would definitely agree. The person who came up with such a perfect plan would definitely consider the improvement of the old employees’ abilities. Most of the company’s personnel were Ah Xin’s friends, so how could she watch her friend stayed with no improvement?
　　
　　“Regarding the training for you guys, the company is not forcing, participate voluntarily, register at Xiaoxia’s side, and when the staff is confirmed, I will hire professionals to come over and train you guys, the training will last for a half year, one hour after work every day.”
　　
　　Except for Lin Siya, no one had expected that Ah Xin would pay so much attention to employee ability improvement. There were those who were happy and those who were hesitant, after all, an extra hour is needed every day, not everyone was free after work.
　　
　　“President Yuan, can I participate as well?” Yu Ying, who was sitting at the end of the conference table in the customer service department, asked in a low voice, her eyes shining brightly at Ah Xin, rubbing her hands and feeling a little apprehensive.
　　
　　Ah Xin smiled, “Of course.”
　　
　　“Then I want to sign up.”
　　
　　Yu Ying smiled brightly, what a great opportunity, she especially envied Lin Siya, who had the chance to study abroad at the age of sixteen, highly educated, outstanding ability, able to do everything, beautiful and capable, it was her dream to look like her. Even if she can’t compare to Lin Siya, she doesn’t want to be an ordinary customer service staff for the rest of her life, she wants to be a customer service manager.
　　
　　The same day shift customer service staff Zhang Ping chose not to participate, off duty she had to pick up children, home to cook and do housework, and she was so busy almost have to rest, simply couldn’t spare the time.
　　
　　In the end, most people in the company were willing to participate in the training, and those who followed Yuan Xin from the beginning didn’t hesitate to participate.　　
　　
　　The company members were busy building up the company while studying. The busiest is Lin Siya, basically two-way working and practicing, after a month, she became thinner by a few pounds, everyone asked her not to work so hard, taking care of her body, yet Lin Siya will say that she wanted to open up the branch earlier.
　　
　　Lin Siya smiled as she thought about opening the next branch sooner, so she would be able to realize the wish of being the number one in the country sooner. Even if Ah Xin didn’t really particularly care about being the nation’s number one, but she did, because Ah Xin said she wanted to be number one in the country.
　　
　　Late at night, Lin Siya was still working overtime in the company.
　　
　　Only the night-shifters and her were left in the company, the night-shifters were in the customer service department, and she was in a separate office, it was very quiet around her. In fact, she didn’t really like quiet places, too quiet, she would always think randomly, become lonely and sad.
　　
　　But in this company, she never had these negative emotions, even if she was late she always felt full of energy.
　　
　　As her eyes refocused on the computer screen, a knock sounded on the door, and she subconsciously thought it was the night shift staff outside looking for her, and without looking up she said, “Come in.”
　　
　　Soft footsteps couldn’t distract her in the slightest, and after half a minute she waited, she felt something wasn’t quite right. When she looked up, she saw Ah Xin was sitting a short distance away, right in front of those eyes with warmth, shocking her so that her mouse shook.
　　
　　Lin Siya controlled her heart that was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out, she took a deep breath before asking, “Ah Xin, what are you doing over here?”
　　
　　“You haven’t eaten, right?”
　　
　　It was only after being asked that Lin Siya felt a little hungry and looked at the time, patting her head in frustration, “I forgot.”
　　
　　“I bought you soup.” Ah Xin stood up and took the lunch box that was put aside in her hand and brought it to Lin Siya’s desk, “Eat before you get busy, the company is important but your body is more important. Next time when you won’t be able to eat in time, call me and I’ll bring your food to you.”
　　
　　Lin Siya looked at the lunch box on her desk, Ah Xin hasn’t released her fair hand on the lunch box, it was a beautiful hand, fair and slender, Lin Siya thought that she wanted to touch it.
　　
　　A Xin opened the lunch box and placed the soup, rice, and small dishes in front of Lin Siya, finally handing her the spoon and chopsticks, “Eat.” The voice was gentle, as if it turned into countless warm threads that drilled into her heart, warming her so much that she almost rushed up and hugged this person.
　　
　　She held the spoon and chopsticks, looked down and started to eat, not daring to look up. Currently, her eyes were still hot, with those damn tears stored inside, if Ah Xin looked at her, how bad would it be if she misunderstood that she was crying from hunger, so humiliating. She wouldn’t want to expose to Ah Xin that she was embarrassed.
　　
　　Ah Xin’s cooking skills were undoubtedly good, Lin Siya almost ate with gusto, but she still maintained her elegance to eat. She couldn’t eat with gusto in front of Ah Xin, it will ruin her beautiful image.
　　
　　After finishing her meal, Lin Siya took the initiative to put the insulation box away and waited for Ah Xin who asked, “Is it still unfinished?”
　　
　　“It’s almost done, it will be finished in two hours at most.”
　　
　　Lin Siya was actually very jealous of the fact that Ah Xin was able to leave work on time, even though the things Ah Xin had to deal with were more than what she did every day. Actually, she had seen the files Ah Xin had processed and couldn’t pick out any fault, her efficiency and accuracy was really high.
　　
　　She remembered about that time when Ah Xin was not satisfied with the drawings, she drew them up in half an hour, and when she made the forms, she held the mouse for the whole time, without any mistakes. When there was a calculation place, it was always answered in a second, how could there be such a terrible person[1] in this world, it was too good. She didn’t want this problem anymore, this person ah, is really too terrible. Ah Xin has finished her works, yet Lin Siya still has to work on this.
　　
　　“Ah Xin, you should go back first.” Lin Siya stood and moved, she had just finished eating, she was going to stand for ten minutes before working, so she wouldn’t get a small belly flab, that wouldn’t look good.
　　
　　Ah Xin received the lunch box and put it on the side and chose to sit on the chair, habitually touching her phone, “I’ll wait for you, it’s too late for you to go home alone.”
　　
　　Lin Siya pursed her lips and looked at the woman who was playing the game, her eyes were all smiles, she didn’t refuse, “Fine.” Such an opportunity, how could she dismiss it.
　　
　　Ten minutes later, the office fell silent, only the occasional sound of keyboard tones and the constant clicking of the mouse could be heard faintly. No one said anything, Ah Xin was playing a game with her headset, Lin Siya was staring at the screen, she wasn’t too focused, and every twenty minutes, she couldn’t help but look up to glance at the woman over there who was addicted to the game, then she buried her head with a smile and worked.
　　
　　An hour and a half later, it was already one o’clock in the morning, Lin Siya finished her work and called out, “Ah Xin, let’s go back, I’m finished.” Her spirit was euphoric, her body was still a little tired, she yawned, turned off her computer, grabbed her bag and walked to Ah Xin.
　　
　　Walking out of the office in darkness, Lin Siya clapped her hands and tried to get the voice-activated floor lights to come on, the company’s new office building was still being renovated, and for the time being, it was still in this old office building, with no elevator and less than robust facilities.
　　
　　But the lights didn’t come on, and she muttered, “Is it broken?”
　　
　　“Maybe.” Ah Xin turned her cell phone flashlight on and shone it on the stairs, they slowly walked down the quiet hallway, the sound of Lin Siya’s heel sounded crisp and clear to the third floor, she clapped her palms, the lights still weren’t on, “Is the third floor broken too?”[2]
　　
　　“There could be a problem with the wiring.” Ah Xin replied, usually the wiring for the building’s lights was parallel instead of series.[3]
　　
　　Lin Siya was a bit speechless, “I hope the new office building will be renovated sooner rather than later, so I don’t have to climb the stairs every day.” The two of them continued to go down the stairs, about the physical exhaustion, Lin Siya was on the last step of the third floor, she didn’t step steadily and almost fell down, fortunately Ah Xin’s quick eyes and hands caught her.
　　
　　Lin Siya patted her chest in shock, her face was still a little pale, and her hands grabbed Ah Xin tightly.
　　
　　“It’s okay, next time don’t work so late, what you do can be done slowly.” Ah Xin said, holding Lin Siya’s hand, “I’ll hold you, so you won’t fall again.”
　　
　　Lin Siya’s brain was muddled, feeling the hand that held hers, it felt really good, and it was still warm. She followed Ah Xin’s pace, just now her heart was pounding in shock, now it was a nervous heart. She looked at Ah Xin’s face, and looked at her hand that is being held by her.
　　
　　She wished the stairs were longer, the steps were slower, the time has stopped now.
　　
　　……..
　　
　　In six months, the company has moved to a new office building, wide and spacious, with elevators and robust facilities, a standard commercial office building. Inside one building, there are many companies, and the people who come in and out every day are different.
　　
　　The members of the company, who had been trained, had changed a lot in spirit and had passed their professional training tests. When the branch opened, Yu Ying from the customer service department didn’t even anticipate that she would directly become the branch’s customer service manager, she really was shocked… Her dream has come true.
　　
　　Everyone else who had attended the training had been promoted and transferred to positions they were good at, mainly new companies. As for the junior staff, they were new hires. The old employees who did not participate in the training, the company’s decision was to give them a salary increase, and although they felt very sorry, yet they had no opinion.
　　
　　One year later, Huanyuan opened another branch and ventured into other fields, but what Lin Siya didn’t expect was that Ah Xin would be involved in the field of pharmaceuticals. At that time, everyone in the company thought that Ah Xin was crazy, and when the company’s proposal was announced, the whole company thought that Xin was crazy.
　　
　　But after half a year, Ah Xin’s proposal and the successful recruitment of medical researchers, the new medicine was finally launched on the market, and when the whole company looked at the sales, they silently said, “This is really fragrant.”[4]
　　
　　Ever since the company was involved in the pharmaceutical industry, Lin Siya’s gaze every time she looked at Ah Xin contained a few touches of complexity. ‘The Gu Family is in the pharmaceutical industry, Ah Xin, are you doing this on a whim, or do you have an ulterior motive?’
　　
　　She couldn’t move away from the other person every time she wasn’t paying attention to Ah Xin. This person, she was really so attractive, there was no way to divert her attention.
　　
　　This night, it was a large business cocktail party, Lin Siya had arrived very early to the reception, she looked outside from time to time. Today’s cocktail party was very important, Ah Xin would come with a new image. Thinking of this, her grip on the wine glass was a little unsteady.
　　
　　She had been looking forward to this day for more than three years, her wish would finally come true, she was so excited.
