CHRISTINA HANSON'S PROMOTION DIARY

Chapter 19: First day at work

In the cold, windy corridor of Morverick Company, Christina smiled. She looked at Marcel. Christina tells him that she vividly remembers the first day she met him at the Morverick Company. Christina's memories quickly flooded back into reality. Contrary to today, it was a sunny day. That morning, gently woven sun rugs lined the streets of Manhattan, and Christina brought her best spirit to the company to kick off her internship.

At that time, she was still a hardworking student and a passionate intern at Morverick Corporation. Every task that the instructors entrusted to Christina were completed quickly by her. But her cheerful mood at the company was quickly ruined by the Assistant Sales Manager. At that time, the position of Assistant Sales Manager was a different person, and he was also in charge of this internship with about twenty students.

Unlike other students in the same batch, Christina had to take the entrance exam to get an internship because she wanted to test herself. Most importantly, if she passed the exam, the internship salary would be twice as high. Christina stood in front of the company's gate. She went to the Administration - Human Resources Department. As soon as she arrived, she immediately met Fiona - the Director of Administration - Human Resources, who was also the person who interviewed her directly. Fiona motioned for her to follow her, and the two moved to the Administration - Human Resources department.

Christina smiled and held out her hand to shake. She quickly identified Fiona as a very severe and careful person by the way she arranged her office: “Hello, Director, I'm Christina Hanson - the new intern of the company. I met the Director in an interview the other day.”

“I am Fiona - Director of Administration - Human Resources. I still miss you, Christina. Her expression is perfect. During the Board of Directors meeting, people talked about her a lot. To avoid wasting your time, let me guide you to the office." Fiona greeted Christina warmly, quickly reaching for the door. The two passed through long corridors. Curious eyes began to follow her, and whispers and whispers continued to resound.

“Who is led by boss Fiona in person? It doesn't look bad at all."

“I heard that the new intern passed the intern entrance exam with the maximum score.”

Christina faintly heard but ignored it. Fiona turned into a rather large room fully prepared with equipment and furnished with a standard office. And a lot of people are working together inside. Christina looked up at the room's nameplate when the words 'BUSINESS DEPARTMENT' was solemnly placed on the dark brown wooden door.

“This is her office, the Human Resources Department has prepared the instructions and her email on the computer. If you have any requests, just suggest them, and the Human Resources Department will arrange them. Wishing you a successful working day.” A typical office smile appeared on Fiona's face, and after saying that, she turned and walked away coldly. Christina feels that Fiona's behavior is a bit rigid and makes others comfortable because she still likes to be clear about public and private and does not want to develop relationships at work messily.

Christina arranged personal documents and rechecked the equipment and stationery items as required. Fiona's side had prepared very thoughtfully and thoroughly. She opened the computer, read through the company's documents, and was just finished reading someone came to her side. Christina looked up to see a male employee with a friendly face standing looking at her.

“You are Christina, right? I am Adam. We are preparing a briefing to introduce new employees.” Adam's voice was so fast. Christina guessed this was a typical practice in companies when new people came in. She nodded and followed the receptionist to the meeting room.

Upon arrival, Grego - Assistant Sales Manager, stood up to introduce Christina's meeting room. She nodded hello. Through an introductory greeting, Grego went directly to the discussion of the Morverick Corporation profile and said that the Sales Director had appointed Christina to be in charge of the file now. The entire conference room turned to look at Christina from time to time. Everyone is curious about the female trainee who got the maximum evaluation score.

“As said by Assistant Grego, I will accept this file, but I have not received any handover of this case file.” Christina responded quickly. She was always careful and professional in her work and did not want to be dragged into stories of unfair workplace competition. Christina originally received this directive after finishing the internship interview as a final exam for her.

“If Christina said so, this is an error from the Administration - Human Resources Department. Fiona, do you have anything to share?” Assistant Grego glanced in the opposite direction, examining Fiona's attitude. Grego is a distant relative of the General Manager, so he is often arrogant and is not afraid to collide with anyone.

“As far as I know, this case file has been transferred to the Sales Department. Assistant Grego should check his email for last week's text confirmation report. I had 'cc mail' him on Friday. I remember correctly this is a susceptible file. The Sales Department staff personally took the file, and said that the Sales Department needs to study and consider this file carefully. After Fiona finished speaking, she was silent. She immediately took a screenshot of her phone, which showed the email page of last week's text confirmation report. She displayed Assistant Grego's email in the outgoing email address. The image was quickly displayed on the large screen of the meeting room through the presentation software.

"Where's the Latvian?" Assistant Grego's face darkened, and they immediately turned to look at the staff in the Sales Department with terrible eyes.

Christina silently watched the tense atmosphere in the meeting room. Fiona still took notes comfortably, occasionally checking the company recorders and personal recorders. Everyone glanced at Fiona and Assistant Grego, displeasure welling up in their eyes. Christina assessed the situation. Less than a minute later, another person appeared in the meeting room with a very calm face.

The Latvian lips curled up, and the look in his eyes showed insolence: “Currently, I am the one who holds all the files of the Morverick Corporation. That is a record that I need to study.”

"Latvian, without the direction of the Board of Directors, how dare you to accept the application on your own?" Maikon - Director in charge of Planning - Marketing, his face looks angry.

“Sales Manager Marcel has directed this file to Christina. Did you and the Human Resources Department know about this?" Assistant Grego didn't even look at the Latvian. His eyes were still fixed on the phone screen.

“Dear Assistant Grego and Director Maikon. I already know but maintain my opinion that my actions are reasonable. Firstly, according to the company's regulations, new employees entering the company in the first month will not be able to receive in charge of the dossiers that are assessed for classification B. And the Morverick Group's records are also approved by the Professional Council. The assessment is graded A+.

Secondly, according to the company's regulations, I am an expert-level employee, so I have the right to receive the application for study. I have had a meeting to discuss this file very carefully. The company's regulations I know and the palm of my hand, am I doing it wrong?" Latvian did not hesitate and responded sharply. The tone did not respect anyone.

“Latvian, you know the rules like the back of your hand, but your hand seems to have a gap. The company also has a regulation like this, 'Special cases will be decided by the General Director or the Board of Directors. All employees are requested to abide by it strictly.' I don't know if the General Manager considers this a special case or not? Since the Human Resources Department does not have a self-determination mechanism, it only has to comply with the requirements of the company's regulations. In special cases that have not been notified, we have to wait for the Board of Directors to resolve." Fiona spoke, and the entire conference room turned towards her. Fiona smiled and looked at Maikon. Grego and Latvian gritted their teeth in rage on the opposite side of Assistants.

“I hope you guys should handle this case professionally for the sake of the public. Don't let us have to compensate the contract. If the parent group intentionally makes it difficult, there is a risk that we will have to compensate by our positions because of not ensuring the progress report." Maikon said as he sent two requests for progress reports from Morverick Corporation to the Board of Directors conversation group.

“If the Board of Directors has directed, I will turn this file to Christina. But I would like to emphasize that I am not wrong so far, right? If an intern does not meet the client's requirements in the future, I hope that the Sales Department will not be affected by this application." Latvian smirked at Christina, his eyes filled with arrogance.

Christina has always tried to avoid unnecessary collisions like this. However, she did not expect that only her first day of work would have to witness such a terrible incident. Everyone's eyes were on Christina. She just smiled, and pushed her hair, making everyone very curious.
