Chapter 23: Are you grateful for her?
The Training Department's main tone is similar to the Control Department's, but a bit more elegant, because of the warm yellow color, it looks comfortable and pleasant.
It is a unit in charge of maintaining corporate discipline, negotiating, and formulating training programs. Training Department Employees also helps other Department Employees provide feedback and support to help other Department Employees adapt better to work and life.
In other words, the Training Department is to cultivate good quality talent for the Corporation. For the Corporation, it is essential, uh... Well, each Department also introduces itself like that, they are also important Departments, and the entire Corporation cannot function without one of them.
The Training Department is an important part; just one point is enough to clarify it.
Because an employee's qualities are suitable for the requirements, they directly relate to management at work. If a person is not qualified to be in a position, it can only cause a series of troubles, to the point where a broken gear causes the entire machine to be abandoned.
At the same time, the Training Department is also the employee's most harmonious, intimate atmosphere Department... Roughly?
"Is there someone, can I come in?"
X gently knocked on the door of the Training Department office, because she was not sure whether Dean would be in the office or not. This time, X herself happened to pass by, and Angela had not yet informed Dean.
She heard people say that the Training Department Dean was always in a hurry and always wanted to organize many activities for her employees. If she boldly rushes in and disturbs other people's work, it's not very good.
"Just go in directly, the door is not locked."
There was a slightly weak female voice coming from the office. She heard the voice and felt it was the super cute type. Probably... Just like a rabbit? Weak, yet harmless...
X thought so and breathed a sigh of relief, this Dean would probably be like Control Department Malkuth Dean, simple and close, with an intimate personality.
Is it very easy to get along with this type of...?
"Hello, I'm X, I just took the position of Manager."
Pushing the door back, what caught her eye was a girl with curly, feminine hair sitting in the office, her head bowed, handling business.
Chestnut-like long hair, the hair feels soft and very docile, but the top of the head has a tuft of spiky hair, making it even more dazzling.
After hearing X's self-introduction, the Training Department Dean felt super rushed and raised her head. Her originally calm expression suddenly stood up in a panic, as if X's appearance had scared her, or perhaps it was a bit unexpected.
"Ah ah ah, it's Manager! Hel... Hello..."
The Training Department Dean is a very adorable girl. Her age seems to be a bit younger than other Deans, and she doesn't have any manners. Perhaps only the sleeve with the badge on the sleeve can prove her identity, her initials "H" are on the armband.
His sky blue eyes were pure and clear, without the slightest trace of worldly impurities, and were roughly two extremes compared to Netzach.
Netzach was like a person who had been in society for a long time and was finally defeated without any will to fight and fell on his back. As for the person in front of her, she was like a naive student who had not entered society yet, as if she had just graduated.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to you just now...You won't be angry, right...?"
The Training Department Dean showed a somewhat scared expression as if X was some kind of terrifying person.
"Why don't you sit down and talk first, you look nervous. I'm just a Manager, uhm... To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Dean be so scared of me."
Seeing the Training Department Dean's shocked expression, X also felt awkward. Even though sometimes she would have a headache because she wasn't imposing in front of Dean, right now, was there too much majesty, why would Dean be so afraid of her...
Am I so scary?
It wasn't until X and the Training Department Dean sat down, holding two bottles of drinks, that the atmosphere relaxed slightly, and then the Training Department Dean introduced herself.
"Sigh...I am Hod, Training Department Dean."
"Ah.... Training Department is... You know that accidents often happen in our Corporation, right? The most recent report shows that if employee groups were more proactive when facing a crisis, they could have avoided about 40% of incidents."
"Therefore, the Training Department is mainly for employees who provide handbook work and training skills. You know, for Corporations, of course, the fewer incidents and temporary absences from employees' jobs, the better."
Speaking of employees and the Training Department, Training Department Hod Dean's face showed a lovely smile. It seemed like she was truly proud of her job and enjoyed her job.
However, most of the time her eyes stayed on X's clothes, rather than looking at X, probably because she was a bit too nervous.
"Uh... To be honest... Even though I'm not that perfect, I won't put pressure on the employees!"
The sound is a bit lacking in confidence, but it's very endearing.
"This doesn't sound too bad, Hod."
X also nodded and acknowledged the dignity in Hod's words. Although she was not clear on the true situation, having this kind of goodwill in the Corporation was a good thing.
"It's really good that you can agree with my idea... These days I'm mainly trying to develop a few plans, although I'm not sure if they will work or not. ..."
Hod is very cheerful, The Training Department Dean is easier to coax than X imagines, her personality is not strange at all, and is even a bit excessive.
"Hod, can you explain a little more carefully? I also think I can study a little better."
X secretly felt like she was floating again. Hod's very respectful attitude made her a little uncomfortable. She was not a big leader. Most Deans won't even use the title, it seems that how they treat Managers is still related to AI's personality.
"Ah, do you want to know more about these? As you know, the Corporation's working conditions are... extremely harsh."
"However, we will periodically conduct psychological opinion polls and psychological tests with employees. But still, there are a lot of employees who end up losing their minds.... I know what that feeling is...."
"I want to help them... I said although I can't directly participate in suppressing or interacting with Abnormalities like them. But I feel moved by that kind of lostness."
"Well.... I don't dare to say that those plans can be effective, I just hope they will be effective..."
Hod's face was miserable, probably remembering the employee incident she had encountered. This was a sympathetic employee Dean who also often cared for them.
X can feel that the concern in Hod's words also comes from the heart, this is not a fake feeling that can be felt when you put it in your mouth...
At least X feels that Hod is definitely more concerned about employees than she is. Her concern for employees often comes from work needs, because she is a Manager, and must consider the interests of the Corporation. If she completes her work poorly, she will be punished.
Now she has this elegant and polite appearance, isn't she forced to look like this by AI Secretary and Deans? Because the Deans expected her to be like this, she as a Manager became this type of caring employee, treating the Dean gently.
It's just a job... In fact, she's cold and only cares about whether she can get through each day peacefully.
At times, X will also consider what she is pretending to be, is this still her? In other words, is this really the smile she emits from within, feeling happy for the employee's health, feeling happy for the hope expressed on Dean's face?
Coming from the heart, wanting to save Netzach and pull her out of the mud and mire...?
X didn't know, but while she was doing this, she was also trying to make good on every promise she had made.
"This sounds like a very unpredictable thing. Angela will probably be happy... I think I'll seriously consider these plans."
X gave Hod a thumbs up, and her smile also showed off without any hesitation.
"...Ah, isn't that right, it's really great that you can do what you want, my plans are here, you can take a look and tell me if you have any opinions."
When Hod saw X's smile, she clearly stopped for a moment. She was a little slow for a second before standing up and preparing to take the briefcase of documents from her desk for X to see. Just as Hod had just stood up, the sound of knocking on the office door rang out.
The Training Department office door was knocked...
"That, Manager... It might be the employee looking for me, but if you need it, I can let her wait first."
"It's okay, I'll go open the door, Hod's thinking is also for the employees, right? So if it only stops on paper and is not authenticated on the employee, it will have no meaning."
This is probably the first employee who can enjoy Manager's special treatment for opening the door. However, X is just opening the door.
Behind the door was an employee wearing a Training Department uniform. She didn't seem to be in a very good condition. Because she didn't even pay attention to X, her eyes were completely unfocused, and she almost didn't pay attention to X. Worriedly, she quickly rushed to Hod's side.
The focus of her pupils was scattered... As if she had taken too many drugs, her mind was also panicking.
"Thank you, Hod!
I feel much better now, those scary thoughts are no longer in my head!"
However, the employee's voice was filled with gratitude and enthusiasm, and she bowed several times to Hod.
But Hod didn't seem to feel anything unusual in there. She just felt very happy to solve the employee's psychological problems.
"It's you who overcomes these thoughts, I'm just telling you where to start."
X sat quietly on the sofa in the corner, listening and observing Hod and the employee. The employee's attention was not at all on Hod's body, but on the drug displayed on Hod's table - Enkephalin.
But the words of gratitude continue endlessly, and the compliments from employees never stop.
"I really thank you! You are really so good! If it weren't for you, I most likely would have committed suicide right now! No matter what, you saved my life. I'm so lucky that it's you, our Department Dean!"
"You are truly a good person!"
The words were so impatient that X herself felt like she was starting to get a headache. How was this different from the employee she first encountered on the first day she took office. X even felt that the previous employee's mind was still a bit clear.
Later, I'll ask Angela to deal with this employee... Well, this is an employee in charge of Hod, it's Hod's matter, and if I intervene it won't be by my 'gentle' Manager setting.
Resigning is a small matter. X is mainly worried that this employee will bewitch her Department Dean, affecting the Dean's condition.
Although this statement sounded very ridiculous, Hod seemed to be the type to be fooled very easily, and from the looks of things, she was indeed deceived by this very poor employee.
The addict's appearance, X is not at all strange, Netzach is the best example, but the difference is that X will not abandon Dean herself, and employees are just convenient parts that can be thrown away.
X had the patience to reach out to Netzach over and over again, trying to help her get rid of her addiction and pull her out of the mud, but there was absolutely no energy left to waste on the employee.
There are so many employees in the Corporation, that she can't save everyone, that's something even saints can't do, let alone she's a mortal, an ordinary person.
When she was forced to take on the position of Manager, she was not asked whether she was willing or not.
It's just that life is like that, if you can't resist it, just obediently follow it, adapt to this feeling, and then try and enjoy it.
The yellow eyes were cold, staring coldly at the employee as if watching a clumsy performance, a third-rate drama.
But with this kind of clumsy performance, how could Hod still be engrossed in it?
"Thank! However, these are just a few things that are my duty! Tiffany, I'm so happy to be able to see you too! I heard you want to transfer to a different Department. I hope you can do well there, don't forget the story between us!"
As soon as Training Department Dean Hod spoke, she immediately gave her a farewell gift and conveniently gave a few Enkephalin on the table to the employee named 'Tiffany'.
The employee quickly picked up the Enkephalin and stuffed it into her pocket, and her tone changed immediately.
"Of course, Hod, bye!"
The employee quickly left the office, without even looking at X who was sitting on the sofa.
It was not until the employee had completely left that X spoke up.
"Hod, is this your Training Department employee…?"
"Yes, did you see, my plan really worked!!! My work is really very diverse, and I also try very hard! Because I want to use my full strength to save those employees."
Hod said excitedly, she was still immersed in the joy of just helping the employee and even looked a bit like the child looking for praise to wait for X to praise her.
Or maybe... She thought X would praise her.
X was very close to her, it could even be said that they were almost at a distance from each other, her golden eyes looked carefully at Hod——
This Dean was a bigger problem than she imagined, definitely comparable to another problem Dean like Netzach.
But, Hod's problem is much easier to solve than Netzach's.
"Hod, have you noticed that employee's eyes? She is a deceitful, cowardly bad employee who cheated your feelings, but you also have a great responsibility."
The heat pounded between Hod's ears and sideburns, X's voice was soft yet numb, and the vibrating sound was like a spiritual shock that was hard to forget.
Training Department Dean blushed, like someone who had done something bad and was caught, shy yet naive.
"Ma... Manager...."
