As my direct supervisor, he provided me with great help from the moment I started working there until I left. The philosophy of the office: Our office is located very close to the company’s CEO’s office, and there are often many people chatting in our room as well. After all, the work is relatively easy, and there are many people of the same age, so sometimes we start chatting livelyly. Because girls naturally have louder voices; sometimes they get a little excited while chatting, resulting in some noise. So I was called to the meeting room to talk. Brother Wang simply told me that although the office may seem simple, dealing with people and navigating social interactions is a form of philosophy; as someone new to the workplace, I still had too much of a student-like attitude, and he advised me to read more books. They also told me to learn as much as possible from several excellent colleagues*. Help at work: In my opinion, a good leader is one who can manage their subordinates without getting too tired themselves. Since leaders are usually quite busy, when they assign you some tasks to do, it is partly as a way for them to train themselves and partly as an acknowledgment of your abilities. At the same time, some assistance is provided between what is done well and what is not, ultimately leading to a successful outcome. That’s how my boss is; he assigns certain tasks to me, a beginner, and then has them revised after I’ve completed them. I also usually bring up directly the issues I notice. I remember once when I was working on amending a patent, during my discussions with the lawyer, Brother Wang gave me some suggestions, and in the end the patent was approved successfully. I often think back to the little things from when we worked together – the experiments, the discussions about work, and the everyday moments. I still remember his expression every time he gave me a task, as well as the effort he put in to complete it. Although we have left our jobs now, his influence on my work remains significant.
