Chapter 128 128【One Emperor and One Courtier】


    After returning home, Xiang Nan continued to write his thesis.


    “Using the density of Kuiper belt objects to constrain their composition and formation history” is just an appetizer.


    Xiang Nan wants to continue to publish papers and continuously increase his reputation in the academic world. This will facilitate his future development.


    ?Before writing his paper, he also visited the preprint server to see how readers responded to his paper.


    ?In just one day, more than a dozen readers have left messages, praising Xiang Nan’s paper for its well-written and high-quality paper, which has inspired them a lot.


    Xiang Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then began to write "Technology-Analysis and Measurement; New discoveries in analysis and measurement by the Department of Physics and Astronomy provide new insights (fast tomography examination of cylindrical objects.


    ?This paper was a major innovation in the field of astrophysics research. It caused quite a stir in the industry when it was published.


    He started writing at half past five and continued until half past six.


    …


    “Fanfan, Leilei, you did really well in the final exam. Let’s go out to eat tonight to celebrate.” Tong Wenjie and Fangyuan shouted happily after they returned home.


    My son and nephew ranked first and second in grade. Such results are really great.


    When Tong Wenjie went to work in the afternoon, he almost went crazy with joy when he saw the report card sent by teacher Li Meng. The top two in the grade are both members of their family, what an honor this is.


    So she planned to go out to dinner in the evening and have a good meal to celebrate.


    “Eat out?! Okay, let’s eat pizza.” Xiang Nan suggested, and then asked Lin Lei’er in English, “Leier, are you used to eating pizza?”


    “I’m used to it, cousin, I can do it.” Lin Leier also replied in English.


    “What are you talking about?” Tong Wenjie asked in confusion.


    ?Her English was not very good when she was in college, and it became completely useless after going to work. Until now, I only know the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet.


    “Speak in English, mom. Lei’er and I talk in English so that we can practice speaking and listening.” Xiang Nan explained with a smile.


    Tong Wenjie suddenly understood and gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up.


    ?My son is not only smart and good at learning, but he can now apply what he has learned, which is really amazing.


    “OK, let’s go eat pizza.” Tong Wenjie agreed readily.


    …


    "Son, you are too good. You lost eight points with 742 points?" On the way, Fangyuan, who has always been a Buddhist, also saw the results of Xiang Nan and Lin Lei''er.


    Seeing that my son had perfect scores in five subjects and only lost eight points in Chinese, I was so happy that I couldn''t help but smile from ear to ear.


    “Hmm~” Tong Wenjie coughed dryly.


    "Ah, by the way, Lei''er is also very good! Seven hundred and seventeen points, oh! Geniuses have come to our house." Fang Yuan praised Lin Lei''er quickly.


    "Thank you, uncle." Lin Lei''er nodded, "My cousin''s grades are much better than mine. The reason why he scored 742 points is because the test paper only had 750 points. Compared with him , I’m just too far behind.”


    "Lei''er, don''t praise me like that, I''ll be proud." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you don''t understand anything in the future, just ask me. The two of us will make progress together." "Thank you, cousin." Lin Lei''er He nodded obediently.


    "I also have good news to share today. Our company will be merged and acquired recently. Once merged, I may be promoted to the next level and officially become the director of the legal department." Fangyuan said with a smile.


    “Really, hubby, that’s great.” Tong Wenjie said happily after hearing this.


    "In two days, the company will send me on a business trip to discuss mergers and acquisitions. Once the mergers and acquisitions are concluded, your husband and I will be promoted to director with a raise in salary." Fang Yuan smiled, "You know what my colleagues in the company call me now, Fang Zuozhao, It means I am just one step away from being promoted to director.”


    "This is a good nickname. You are indeed a little shy, so you should get rid of it quickly." Tong Wenjie said happily.


    …


    “Dad, don’t blame me for pouring cold water on you. I think it’s unlikely that you’ll be promoted, but it’s very possible that you’ll be fired.” After hearing this, Xiang Nan shook his head.


    “Why?” Fangyuan asked doubtfully.


    "It''s very simple. Since your company has been acquired, the acquirer will definitely send a team to take over." Xiang Nan explained, "When the time comes, there will be one emperor and one courtier.


    No matter what guarantees your current boss gives you, it doesn’t matter. The key lies in the new management team. You have no good relationship with the new management team, so why should they promote you?


    On the contrary, if a new team takes over the company, it will definitely increase revenue and reduce expenditure if it wants to achieve results.


    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"


    “…” Fangyuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed when he heard his son talking about him like this.


    To be honest, my son’s words were really harsh. But when he thought about it carefully, he had to admit that what he said did make sense.


    Emperor and courtiers once, this is an irrefutable truth. The current boss did say that once the merger and acquisition is completed, his position will be mentioned.


    But once the merger and acquisition is completed, can he still have the final say? When the time comes, whether he can protect himself is a question.


    Furthermore, when a new team takes over the company, there will definitely be layoffs. By then, old employees like him will most likely be laid off.


    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


    “Fang Yuan’er, what Fanfan said makes sense.” After hearing this, Tong Wenjie also nodded and said, “Are you sure about your promotion?”


    "It was accurate in the first place, but now it''s vague." Fangyuan said depressedly, and all the good mood in his heart was gone.


    "Dad, if you really want to get promoted and get a raise, you should build a good relationship with the acquirer during the process of negotiating M&A." Xiang Nan reminded, "Didn''t the company send you to negotiate M&A? This is the right time for you. good opportunity.”


    Fang Yuan nodded.


    ??He really didn''t think about this level before. He just wanted to complete the work assigned by his boss and then get a promotion and salary increase as soon as the merger and acquisition was successful.


    But now it seems that once the merger and acquisition is completed, he is likely to be laid off.


    ?The reason why the boss told him in advance and promised him a promotion and salary increase was simply to reassure him and let him work hard for himself and strive for more benefits for himself when negotiating mergers and acquisitions.


    So when he goes to negotiate this time, he can''t be too open-minded. Lose sincerity when it''s time to show sincerity, and insert a knife when it''s time to insert a knife.


    Otherwise, once he is laid off, he may not be able to find a job in a short period of time based on his experience in the past two days. When the time comes, who will support the whole family? !
