Although Jiang Xiaobai, the new general manager, was parachuted into the position, with many people beneath him not taking him seriously, this was the first time he'd been treated like thin air.
He glanced at the book the employee was holding and was surprised to find that it wasn't written in Chinese, but was all in English.
Seeing how engrossed he was, Jiang Xiaobai had thought it must be some particularly gripping novel and asked, "Hello, what book are you reading?"
Only when he heard the voice did the employee absorbed in his book look up and replied, "It's a book on time management, written by the famous American management guru Taylor."
The guy hadn't recognized Jiang Xiaobai because he was new and hadn't met the general manager yet.
"It's not a novel?" Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile. "You looked so serious; I thought it was a novel."
