Chapter 18: Reporting for Work at the Penn’s
The next morning, Macy wears her professional suit and prepares to report for work at the Penn’s
Macy told Sunny to transfer all the money to the workers for their severance right after she received the money. In the meanwhile, the company has already been in the bankrupt state. All she needs to do is to cancel the company information.
The bankruptcy of the Downey’s became a hit in the internet and countless media hurried to cover the story and therefore lots of articles about it were produced. Titles such as “The Downey’s Finally Gave Up Struggling…” makes Macy feel headache. She left the news feed to avoid feeling annoyed.
She knows very clearly that the Downey’s bankruptcy news is in trending at the moment and if she goes out and works today, it will give media more feed, but she can’t wait no more because her family doesn’t have enough savings. She can’t wait until the savings runs out.
After everything is ready, she makes her mum a breakfast before she leaves. She sets off after she left a note.
The receptionist at the Penn’s calls upon knowing her intention of visiting is to report for work. Very soon, a lady around 30 comes over and leads Macy to upstairs.
“I’m the manager of the HR department, Rene Rowe. Just call me Rene. I will lead you to leave information for the contract and walk you through your basic routine.”
“Thank you, Rene.”
Macy is such a sweet girl. Rene and Macy naturally start their conversation in the elevator and they hit it off very quickly.
“Rene, I want to know my position?”
“It is directly decided by the managerial board. You will be the secretary of Mr. Penn. Your responsibilities are conference and daily routine scheduling as well as business reception. When it’s necessary, you have to join the business trip with Mr. Penn. You need to be sharp and smart so that you can cope with any emergencies. At times, you have to take care of Mr. Penn’s life as well…”
As Rene keeps on saying the long list of responsibilities, Macy marks down and questions, “Join the business trip with Mr. Penn”, “Responsible for Mr. Penn’s daily life”, these requirements sound a bit…
Rene can tell that Macy has been lost in her thoughts slightly, she pauses her steps, “Take it easy. With so much to do, Mr. Penn doesn’t only hire one secretary. Different secretaries will be in charge of different tasks and you only have to follow the orders by then.”
Macy nods, “Thanks for your advice Rene. I’m a newbie here so I may have a lot of questions. I hope you won’t be annoyed by me.”
