Chapter 1485: Chapter 1142: No Regrets (1)_2

Han Xiaodan stood up curiously and asked, "Assistant Li, what does the boss want with me? How does he even know I exist as such an inconspicuous small fry?"

It’s true, Han Xiaodan has always worked at the company as an intern. She used to serve as an assistant to the former general manager of Facebook China, but later, the female general manager who was very kind to her and taught her a lot had to leave due to some family reasons. A new male president took over, and Han Xiaodan no longer wanted to serve as the president’s assistant.

Of course, even if she was willing, the new president might not necessarily want to use an intern as an assistant...

So Han Xiaodan returned to the operations department. However, by then, the company was quite large, and she was just an intern, so even within the operations department, she was only at the level of a team leader. The people she led were just a group of interns, strictly speaking, she was not even on par with a regular employee at the company...

However, since she’d been with the company long enough, Han Xiaodan was well-acquainted with many department leaders. Everyone knew there was a girl with short hair and a delicate appearance in the operations department. More remarkably, this intern girl turned out to be the most senior in the entire company!

It’s said that during the initial preparations to establish the company, this girl was still an intern at the neighboring Tencent Company. For some unknown reason, the head of the preparation group also transferred her over to participate in the establishment of Facebook China, and she’s stayed ever since...

Most of the original preparation team eventually returned to Tencent Company. Now, at Facebook China, key positions, including the president, were mostly filled by later external recruits.

...

Assistant Li adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "I’m not sure either, the boss just told me to let you know to come by. Maybe he knows you’ve graduated with a Master’s and are applying for a permanent position, so he wants to discuss it with you? But that doesn’t seem right either; such matters could be directly handled by the human resources. It shouldn’t need the boss to personally step in. Well, just go over, and you’ll find out."

Indeed, Han Xiaodan was just an ordinary employee, and there’s no reason for the boss to personally converse with her about making her position permanent, her level doesn’t warrant it!

So, dazed and confused, Han Xiaodan followed Assistant Li to the president’s office.

The current president of Facebook China, President Liu, was personally poached by General Ma from Tencent. It’s said he’s an Ivy League graduate who honed his skills at big international companies and indeed achieved quite a bit of success.

Thus, when Facebook China developed to a certain scale, General Ma connected with President Liu through a headhunter and invited him to lead this company.

President Liu, with his keen sense, immediately agreed. At that time, both Facebook Russia and Facebook US had already achieved significant success, and he had long heard of this in the industry. Now having the chance to run a promising company like Facebook China and getting a handsome compensation package, why would he hesitate? So, he readily agreed and returned home to take on the role of president of Facebook China.

He’s indeed not a man resting on his laurels; in over two years since he joined Facebook, he’s made the company thriving, its sharpness almost rivaling Tencent!

There are even several financial institutions predicting that if Facebook China successfully goes public on Nasdaq, its market value could potentially exceed Tencent Company!

...

Assistant Li gently knocked on the door, and when he heard President Liu’s voice inviting them in, he opened the door and led Han Xiaodan inside.

He quickly stepped forward, came to President Liu’s desk, bowed slightly, and said, "President Liu, Han Xiaodan is here."

Han Xiaodan curiously glanced over; it was her first time in this office!

Even though she was among the first batch of Facebook employees, back then the company rented other office spaces. This building was an office site jointly applied for by Facebook and Tencent and then jointly constructed as the headquarters. The company moved in less than a year ago, and as an ordinary intern, she had no chance to come to the president’s office.

President Liu, who was bent over looking at reports, raised his head and looked at Han Xiaodan, smiling, "You’re Han Xiaodan, right? Please sit by the sofa and wait for me a few minutes, I’ll finish this small part of work soon. We are also waiting for someone else, who will be arriving shortly."

As a boss, one must seem busy, at least in front of subordinates...

Han Xiaodan nodded slightly, walked to the sofa in the reception area, and sat down. She did not have the usual nervousness that ordinary employees might have when meeting a boss.

Even though her status was far below that of the president, Han Xiaodan felt that she was equal to him; after all, she was working and being paid by the company. She quite liked her current job too.

A few minutes later, Assistant Li knocked on the office door again, but this time he didn’t come in first to report to President Liu. Instead, he nodded, bowed, and stood at the door, gesturing for someone to enter.

President Liu immediately put down his work, stood up, and greeted with a smile, "General Ma, it’s been a while since you’ve come to inspect our work."

Curiously, Han Xiaodan turned her head and looked over, her eyes widened slightly; it was General Ma from Tencent who had arrived!

Although Facebook China has rapidly developed in recent years and its momentum is not inferior to Tencent, it was clear that President Liu still couldn’t compare to General Ma.

Let’s not forget that Tencent actually holds the majority of Facebook’s shares, making it essentially the parent company of Facebook China!

Even President Liu, in a sense, is also a subordinate to General Ma...

General Ma walked in with a smile, shook hands with President Liu, and exchanged a few pleasantries before immediately looking over at Han Xiaodan and, with a chuckle, said, "Miss Han, I heard you recently graduated with your Master’s degree, congratulations!"

Faced with a greeting initiated by the group president, Han Xiaodan couldn’t continue to sit there aloofly; she stood up and smiled, "Thank you, General Ma."

As for why Lao Ma still remembered her, Han Xiaodan could more or less guess it was related to Brother Wang Ye, whom she once "dated." It seemed Brother Wang Ye was even a shareholder of Tencent!

She got into Facebook thanks to Lao Ma arranging it on Wang Ye’s account.

However, thinking of Wang Ye, Han Xiaodan felt a bit resentful because she hadn’t seen him for a long, long time...

When she first met Wang Ye, she was just a schoolgirl, confused and knew nothing.

All she knew was that Wang Ye seemed to have a large business dealing in energy trade and had some shares in Tencent, but how big his business was and how many shares he had in Tencent, Han Xiaodan had no clue.

Moreover, in recent years, it seemed Wang Ye had disappeared, with no news of him!

They had only met a few times, and after so long, Han Xiaodan couldn’t even clearly remember what Wang Ye looked like; she only had a vague impression in her mind.

Additionally, as a young girl, she wouldn’t pay attention to international politics at all, so she didn’t know anything about Wang Ye’s victory in last year’s general election!

Of course, even if she inadvertently saw the news, she might just be a little surprised at how young this foreigner was and how much he resembled East Asians...

She likely wouldn’t even have thought of linking it to "Brother Wang Ye"!

...

Seeing General Ma take the initiative to greet Han Xiaodan, both President Liu and Assistant Li were a bit surprised.

Even President Liu didn’t know what Han Xiaodan was called in for today; he had just received a call from General Ma saying he would come to talk to an employee named Han Xiaodan, but didn’t say what it was about.

As for Assistant Li, he knew even less, thinking it was about Han Xiaodan becoming a full-time employee and that President Liu wanted to have a face-to-face talk with her.

In the end, realizing that even the head of the parent company, General Ma, knew Han Xiaodan and took the initiative to greet her, Assistant Li was shocked.

Consider what status and position General Ma holds now; he’s at the level of the wealthiest person in the country!

How could he know such an ordinary girl like Han Xiaodan...
