Chapter 1363 A Long-Standing Problem
"Xiao Wu, Happy New Year!" Deputy Director Jin of the Park Management Committee walked in with a smile.
"Hello, Director Jin," Wu Qian stood up with a smile, "Happy New Year, General Manager Feng is waiting for you inside,"
She knew that her boss had always been willing to get close to these leaders of the education system, and these people, including the park leaders, did provide support to the company in many ways.
But her face changed immediately, "Director Jin,"
"It's okay, these two friends, hehe, will be very helpful to you in the future, don't worry, Yiping will definitely not blame you," Director Jin said with a smile.
These two are not friends, it would be strange if the boss didn't blame you!
Old Chen smiled and nodded at Wu Qian. This is in the capital, you still think it's Sanya, isn't it easy to meet Feng Yiping here?
Li Fangcheng was a little surprised, as if there was always something wrong.
Why did Old Chen have to ask someone to take him to see Feng Yiping? This Assistant Wu who was so arrogant last time seemed to still resist Old Chen and himself to meet Feng Yiping?
Shouldn't General Manager Wang and Feng Yiping have talked it over?
"Director Jin," Feng Yiping stood up with the phone, "Please sit down,"
Director Jin didn't say anything, but just gestured to him, meaning not to disturb him on the phone.
Feng Yiping looked at the smiling old Chen behind him, and the somewhat bewildered Li Fangcheng, and nodded to Wu Qian who was standing at the door with some self-blame.
Wu Qian bit her lip, lowered her head and closed the door. As soon as she returned to her seat, she called the front desk, "You knew that Mr. Feng was waiting for Director Jin, and when you saw him bringing people over, even if you couldn't stop him, wouldn't you notify him in advance?"
Her voice was very low, but her tone was very heavy. This was also one of the few times she got angry directly at someone.
The girl at the front desk was a little confused, "I'm sorry, Assistant Wu, I..."
"Okay, don't explain," Wu Qian interrupted her, "Next time, I'll go directly to your supervisor,"
She hung up the phone, looking at the boss who was still sitting behind the desk and making a phone call, and Old Chen who seemed to be talking to Director Jin in a harmonious manner, what was going on?
…………
"It's Tsinghua University. Among all the entrepreneurial parks of domestic universities, Tsinghua University is currently the most successful one. It can be said that it has left all other peers far behind," Lao Chen said to Deputy Director Jin.
"Haha, although we have also incubated many other promising companies, we can quickly distance ourselves from other brother units. This is mainly because we have Yiping," Deputy Director Jin looked at Feng Yiping who was still talking on the phone and said, "Our school and the park fully support him and his company. Mr. Chen, I hope you can also support Yiping and his company more."
"That's natural. Entrepreneurs like Mr. Feng are not only the pride of the park, but also the pride of our country's young people. You see, we are here today to discuss cooperation with him, right?" Lao Chen was divided into two minds. While greeting Deputy Director Jin, he listened carefully to what Feng Yiping was saying.
However, his efforts were in vain, because Feng Yiping spoke in a language he couldn't understand, English.
He gestured to Li Fangcheng, who was a little out of shape. Young people who have received higher education should be better at English than himself.
As for why Li Fangcheng was not in the right state, whether he had noticed or was alert, Lao Chen didn't care at all.
He didn't think Li Fangcheng would understand his arrangement. This should be because he was pressed by Feng Yiping's bodyguard last time in the hotel, and now he was a little nervous when facing him, Lao Chen thought.
Li Fangcheng was also subconsciously concerned about what Feng Yiping was saying.
No matter how he felt about Feng Yiping, deep in his heart, he also admired Feng Yiping very much. Although today's incident seemed a bit weird, there couldn't be many opportunities to hear Feng Yiping talking to people abroad.
Was it a client, a subordinate, or a girlfriend?
But Feng Yiping's voice was not loud and his speed was not low. With Li Fangcheng's level, he didn't understand it very well. There was just an abbreviation that appeared many times, so he wrote it down, but he didn't quite understand what it meant.
"GLAAD?" What does this abbreviation mean?
…………
"Just received their letter?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Yes, I just received their letter, but this is the second time I have received it, and they have called to remind me several times," Mike on the other end said helplessly.
When I received it for the first time, I didn't read the letter from GLAAD carefully, but the office had a record.
The second time, after sending it, they called to remind me several times, and my colleagues in the office finally opened it this time, but soon found that they had opened a problem.
This problem is actually a long-standing problem. It is one of the difficult questions that every politician will be asked when participating in campaign activities, but it must be handled carefully.
These questions are generally, do you support abortion? Do you support gun bans? Then there is this question, do you support homosexuality?
GLAAD is the abbreviation of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
The reason why these three questions have a long history and must be handled carefully is that the American people are also divided on these issues. Whether your answer is affirmative or negative, or whether you support or oppose, it will directly affect your vote.
Public companies sometimes face the same problem. If it is not handled well, it will also damage the company's image. But this is the first time that Feng Yiping's company in the United States has faced such a problem.
GLAAD, since its name is the "Gay and Gay Alliance Against Defamation," it is conceivable that there must be considerable slander.
If you agree to their request and they are satisfied, naturally other people will not be satisfied.
Feng Yiping's position is very simple. He can only approach this issue from the company's perspective, that is, is it beneficial to the company to agree to their requests, or is it beneficial to the company to disagree with their requests?
But this is an extremely sensitive issue that may lead to lawsuits, so Feng Yiping was very cautious when talking to Mike, "This is the first time I have faced such a problem, and I don't know the relevant situation. What do you think?" ?”
"I can't say for the moment," Mike was also very cautious. Speaking of which, he really didn't know Feng Yiping's attitude towards this issue.
"The dilemma is that if you accept their request and add this to the emotional column, it might be an eyesore to people who are very averse to it," he said.
GLAAD sent two letters to protest Facebook's failure to consider their feelings in the emotional status option, and strongly requested Facebook to add same-sex marriage (civilunions) as an option.
If the United States is really as free and civilized as it advertises, this matter will be easy to solve. If you add one item, add one.
But the United States is actually a very contradictory country. Openness and conservatism are sometimes extremely opposite. Some people support or are indifferent to gay marriage, while others strongly do not support it.
So to add or not to add, that is the question.
"I remember, Mr. President, you don't seem to support it?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Although publicly he's been vague in his response to the question, he's a staunch conservative, so yes, he's against same-sex marriage and abortion," Mike said.
Even though George W. Bush expressed his position vaguely on this issue, he still won the election. Feng Yiping probably has an understanding of this issue. This should show that at least in American society at this time, the mainstream opinion is on this issue. They won't support it that much, at least not strongly. Otherwise, how could they agree with George W. Bush's vague words instead of a clear-cut statement?
However, there is no room for ambiguity in your own website. There is no other option to add or not to add.
"Otherwise, we..." Feng Yiping suddenly paused because he felt that the proposal he thought of was not very reliable.
Surveying company employees on whether they support or oppose this issue may actually be an invasion of their privacy, because it may imply whether they are straight or not.
"First of all, let's ask language experts and sociologists to study this issue, which is our emotional state options. Is there any other better way to express it?"
When users describe their relationship status on Facebook, they can now choose from four options: single, married, in a relationship, or "It's hard to tell."
From the original Feng Yiping's point of view, this is actually very appropriate. The last "It's hard to say" option can actually fit in a lot, but who says Americans are difficult to serve?
"Okay, I understand," Mike said.
Since Feng Yiping didn't give a clear answer, he completely understood what he meant.
"Remember, don't discuss this issue with experts via email," Feng Yiping reminded.
Regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreign, the so-called moral integrity of many experts may be the same as their chastity. It is best not to leave any emails with a certain tendency.
"Sorry for the long wait, Director Jin," Feng Yiping walked to the reception area.
