407 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

Chapter 407: Quite Impressive! The two directors had a symbolic little quarrel, but it quickly settled down. The reason for the cessation of their argument was quite simple. It was because the reception music had started playing at nine in the morning. Hearing the music, Su Qi finally understood why Sister Wang Yun entered the meeting room right on time. After all, if she entered the meeting room early, she would probably just sit in silence, waiting for nine o'clock to arrive. With the conclusion of the reception music, the morning meeting officially began. All things considered, this was Su Qi’s first time experiencing a “morning meeting” since entering the workforce, and she was somewhat looking forward to it. Once the music ended, she quickly heard someone say, “Stand up!” Watching as everyone around her stood up, she hurriedly imitated them and got to her feet. Sitting in the corner, she couldn’t see who was speaking because the girl in front of her was rather tall. She only heard a male voice say: “Hello everyone!” She thought it was just a simple greeting, but surprisingly, everyone around her responded in unison: “Good, very good, very, very good!” As they responded enthusiastically, they clapped their hands in rhythm with a 'p pp ppp' as accompaniment. Su Qi, newly entering the professional world, found it rather amusing. Just when she thought they could sit down after saying the chant once, she heard the voice again, “Everyone didn’t show enough enthusiasm, let’s do it again. Good morning everyone!” “Good, very good, very, very good. p pp ppp.” This time, Su Qi successfully joined in, as the chant was quite simple. Just when Su Qi thought they could sit down, the routine repeated once more. Su Qi: !! ! After chanting again, everyone finally sat down. Upon sitting, Su Qi noticed that the person presiding over the meeting was indeed the “Yang Director” she had met earlier. Once everyone was seated, the morning meeting was officially underway. First, the two directors assigned the day's tasks to their subordinates. Through this morning meeting, Su Qi gained a basic understanding of how the stock trading company operated. The operation of the stock trading company was straightforward: clients give money to the company, and the company trades stocks for them. If they win, the company takes a small commission. If they lose, the clients can only accept their misfortune. Many people, rather than leaving their money in a savings account, prefer to gamble a bit and let the company manage their funds instead. After all, a stock trading company has directors to oversee the investment direction, and various personnel to gather data and first-hand information, which significantly increases their chances of success compared to individual investors, and the likelihood of losses is relatively lower. Through the morning meeting, as Su Qi observed everyone’s work plans, she understood the company's departmental structure. There were customer service personnel to find clients, data researchers to search for information and trends. Above them were stock analysts, who analyzed the market trends of various stocks, and ultimately, the directors who had the decision-making power. Although it was Su Qi’s first morning meeting, her expertise from reading eleven stock trading manuals made her fully grasp the content of everyone’s reports. From the meeting, she finally realized why the stock trading manuals stated that most individuals cannot outperform institutional investors. Without considering other aspects, simply based on information integration, companies have a huge advantage over individuals because of their clear division of labor, nearly covering every stock in the stock market. Simply based on this, no matter how strong Su Qi’s intellect was, it was impossible for her to compete, as it required too much effort. Perhaps this was the fabled “power of teamwork!” The meeting report proceeded quickly because the stock market was about to open at 9:30. After everyone around the conference table finished speaking, it was time for the two directors' summary. At this moment, even Su Qi, a newcomer to the professional world, could clearly see through everyone's reactions that the people in the meeting room were divided into two factions, much like a Civil War between the North and the South. When Wang Yun was speaking, the other side remained silent. Conversely, when the Yang Director spoke, no one on Su Qi’s side said anything either! Just when Su Qi thought the directors would summarize the two teams' investment directions and then dismiss the meeting, she heard the Yang Director speak up: “Today, the company welcomed a new member, an assistant to Director Wang. Would you mind coming up to introduce yourself?” With his words, all eyes in the room involuntarily turned towards Su Qi, who was sitting in the corner. After all, Su Qi was truly beautiful. Even though she was in the 'Wang Director’ team, everyone in the meeting room was quite eager to see her performance. With her prior experience as a teacher, coupled with her involvement in the Su Da Cultural Association, a simple self-introduction was not going to be a problem for Su Qi. Standing up, just as she was about to introduce herself, she heard that Yang Director speak again, “This new assistant should come up and introduce herself. After all, there will be many things to connect with you going forward. You might as well share your thoughts on the analysis of the two stocks just now.” Upon hearing this, even those in his own team frowned. His behavior was seen as narrow-minded! Expecting an intern assistant to analyze two stocks was unreasonable, practically setting her up to fail as a form of retaliation for not giving him face earlier in the morning! Yet, Su Qi, being new to the workforce, didn’t pick up on the underlying meaning. Seeing her 'Wang Yun’ nod at her reassuringly, Su Qi walked to the front of the meeting room and started her introduction, “Hello everyone, my name is Su Qi, currently the assistant to Director Wang. I look forward to your guidance in the future.” Upon her introduction and seeing her exquisite face, a middle-aged man in the audience suddenly murmured, somewhat skeptically: “Teacher Su Su?” Hearing this name, Su Qi paused slightly. She hadn’t expected someone in the company had followed her work. However, being referred to as a “teacher” by someone much older than herself felt a little strange to Su Qi. Nonetheless, due to the existing title, she nodded slightly and said, “I taught for a while during the summer break, but now, I'm an assistant, sir.” Hearing Su Qi call him 'sir,' although the man was from Yang Director's team, he warmed up to the polite junior. Trying to alleviate any awkwardness for Su Qi, he said, “My daughter is entering high school next year. She often watched your tutorials and considers you her idol!” Su Qi, sensing his goodwill, responded, “Well, if there's an opportunity, she could visit the company, and I can teach her. I did well in my studies, after all!” Yang Zongfan initially planned to make things difficult for this young newcomer, hoping she would falter during her self-introduction due to nerves since she was fresh from school. But unexpectedly, someone from his own team engaged with her. And soon after, others did too. After clearing his throat twice, silence returned to the meeting room. Then, Yang Zongfan pointed to the projector and said: “Assistant Su, time is pressing. Why don't you analyze the stock just discussed?” Upon hearing the request, Su Qi accepted the laser pointer handed over by Wang Yun and immediately began her analysis. Given her current ability, analyzing stocks was a trivial task. Moreover, she had already studied this particular stock. Initially, the meeting room's attendees were somewhat anxious for this fresh graduate, worried that she might make a glaring mistake that Yang Director could use as leverage against her. But as they listened to Su Qi’s analysis, they slowly realized that this young newcomer was quite professional. She presented many original viewpoints, and her basis and evidence were convincingly persuasive. At times, they even felt her analysis might be more professional than what Yang Director had offered. After a succinct three minutes, Su Qi put down the laser pointer. Wang Yun, seeing the astonished expressions of everyone, especially the wide-open mouth of Yang Director opposite, felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her! Her little partner truly is remarkable!
