In the office, Forrest looked straight at Jeanne as if he could not accept it.
Jeanne did not consider Forrest's emotions at all. She handed Forrest a stack of resumes. "Help me choose the other nine people."
Forrest was still a little confused.
It seemed that he had never thought that such a good thing would happen to him.
"The selection principles. First, they must not be Joshua's confidants. Second, they must not have any connections with anyone in the company. Third, they must not be too weak." Jeanne looked very serious.
Forrest took a long time to react. He asked, "You're not playing tricks with me, are you?"
Jeanne smiled. "At this time, you have to believe in yourself."
Forrest took a deep breath. "Even if you're playing tricks with me, I don't have a choice."
It seemed that he was a sensible person.
Jeanne just watched as Forrest took the resumes and then picked and eliminated them.
She did not rush him and just waited quietly for him.
After nearly an hour, Forrest hesitated and left 15 people behind, "I think these people are the most suitable for the project. Apart from meeting the three conditions, their attitude toward work is also relatively positive."
Jeanne took the list of the 15 people. "Are there any of
them that you have a good relationship with?"
Forrest was stunned and nodded. "Yes."
"Remove those that you have a good relationship with."
"I'm very fair and just," Forrest said righteously, "I definitely didn't choose them from my personal standpoint."
"1 know, but the workplace is a place that isn't friendly to friends. Once it involves interests, it's very easy for you to turn against each other," Jeanne said to Forrest, "Rather than leaving behind hidden dangers that may harm the relationship between friends, it's better to nip it in the bud."
Forrest was convinced by Jeanne.
He eliminated the two people he had a better relationship with, leaving 13 people.
"Are there any under 25 years old?"
"No."
"Anyone over 45 years old?"
"No."
"Then pick the nine people you think are the most suitable from this pile of people and pick them again based on your feelings. Don't hesitate."
Forrest nodded and went through the list again.
In the end, the list of the nine people was decided.
Jeanne looked at the resumes of the ten people in front of her, including Forrest's. She said, "Okay, the meeting will be held in the conference room in 20 minutes. I have work arrangements."
"Okay." Forrest was respectful. The moment he left, he was a little hesitant. "Are you really going to use these people?"
"Or else?" Jeanne raised her eyebrow.
"I'm just a little employee, after all..." Forrest wondered, 'Is she not worried that the people I chose might not be capable enough?!'
"Use people without suspicion and don't use suspicious people." Jeanne smiled. "I believe in you."
Forrest's heart wavered a little.
This was the first time he was trusted so much.
"Thank you," Forrest said sincerely and then walked out of Jeanne's office.
Jeanne looked in the direction of the door.
She turned back to look at the list in her hand.
Ability in the workplace was important, but winning popular support was even more important!
Jeanne picked up the phone. "Amy, come in for a while."
