When it comes to the secretary industry, Zhu Xu is definitely a leader in the secretarial industry. Not only does she have outstanding abilities, but she also has an enviable annual salary. According to the salary ranking of board secretaries in 2018, Zhu Xu's salary ranks first, with an annual salary of 8.492 million yuan.

Not only that, she also has a huge year-end bonus of 10 million. Such a generous salary cannot help but make people wonder, why does Zhu Xu have such generous treatment, what kind of experience does she have?

Zhu Xu's Growth

Zhu Xu's current achievements are inseparable from the influence of her parents. She has been studious since she was a child and was an excellent student in school.

Zhu Xu is an outstanding intellectual woman. Her resume is very competitive in any company. After years of hard work, she finally became the secretary of the board of directors of Vanke Group in 2016.

Unlike many college students, Zhu Xu did not choose to join the workforce directly after graduating from college, but chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, the competition pressure for the postgraduate entrance examination was not as great as it is now, but it also required a lot of effort.

When she entered Central South University of Economics and Law, she began to plan her future study process. She studied very hard at school and was also actively preparing to study abroad.

With sufficient preparation and excellent language foundation, Zhu Xu was able to obtain a master's degree from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law and then go to study abroad at the University of London in the UK.

In order to have a better future and a broader development platform, Zhu Xu knew that he had to submit a perfect answer at the University of London so as to gain more advantages in his future workplace.

In Zhu Xu's eyes, any opportunity to increase her abilities must be grasped firmly. She is very eager to absorb more useful knowledge to enrich and enhance her abilities.

After years of study, Zhu Xu also decided to leave campus and go out into society to test her abilities and work skills. After returning to China, she successfully passed the civil service exam with her excellent abilities and hard work, and according to her major, she came to work at the Shenzhen State Taxation Bureau.

During her time working at the tax bureau, she not only performed very well, but also made many colleagues envious with her impressive academic qualifications. The leaders also recognized Zhu Xu's work ability and believed that Zhu Xu would be promoted in the near future and had a bright future.

But when everyone thought that Zhu Xu would stay in the system for the rest of her life and have a "iron rice bowl" from the state, Zhu Xu chose to resign at this moment. Zhu Xu was not satisfied with her future in the tax bureau, she wanted to enter the enterprise, only there, her knowledge and all her abilities could have a bigger stage to show.

Although the leaders tried their best to retain her, Zhu Xu still insisted on her own ideas and submitted her resignation request. After entering the workplace, Zhu Xu really had more space and stage for her to perform. Her outstanding performance in the new company made Zhu Xu quickly become a "star" in the industry.

Many companies were very optimistic about Zhu Xu, so after a period of time, many companies offered her generous conditions, hoping that Zhu Xu could join their company, including Shenzhen Guangtian Decoration Group.

After joining the group, Zhu Xu continued to work hard, fully combining knowledge and practical work, which further enhanced her abilities. Until 2016, Zhu Xu joined Vanke and took up the position of secretary to the board of directors.

Business war - a battlefield without gunpowder smoke

Zhu Xu became known as the "legendary" secretary of the board of directors in the eyes of industry insiders because of a board meeting held by Vanke at that time. Zhu Xu's ability to adapt to changing circumstances and make good use of company rules earned him more trust and respect from the company after the meeting.

In the same year that Zhu Xu joined Vanke as the secretary of the board, Vanke held an extremely critical board meeting. The content of the meeting was to discuss an important plan, and then the board members chose to vote.

Once this plan is passed, Shenzhen Metro will become Vanke's largest shareholder. The voting rules at the time were that as long as two-thirds of the directors at the meeting agreed, the plan would be passed.

On the contrary, if more than one-third of the people disagree, the plan will not be passed. At that time, among the 11 directors of Vanke, 4 directors had clearly expressed their support for the plan, and 3 clearly opposed it. At this time, if only one of the remaining 4 independent directors opposed it, the plan would not be passed, so the reactions of these four directors were absolutely crucial.

After multiple considerations, 7 out of 11 directors supported it, 3 were clearly against it, and the remaining 1 was somewhat wavering due to facing great pressure.

As the secretary of the board, Zhu Xu's principle is to maximize the interests of the company, so she must strive for the approval of the plan in the most fair and open way. So after joint research with the company's professional legal team, a better solution was found, that is, if the wavering director chose to abstain, it would have a counterproductive effect.

Although some people have abstained from voting, the total number of people participating in the vote will not change and will still be 11. Therefore, even though 7 directors support it, it still does not reach the two-thirds support rate.

But if he did not abstain from voting but avoided the vote, the situation would be very different, because those who abstain from voting are not counted in the total number of votes. If this is the case, the proportion of support will be 7 to 10, which is more than two-thirds, and the plan can be passed smoothly.

In a key recollection later, Zhu Xu became nervous when she heard the director say he would abstain from voting. She quickly asked if he could choose to abstain from voting if there was a potential conflict of interest. The director immediately agreed. In this way, although something went wrong during the meeting, Zhu Xu's quick response helped resolve the crisis.

Zhu Xu also became a "legendary" secretary to the board of directors in the industry through his clever questioning at this meeting. Zhu Xu once said that the position of secretary to the board of directors is very difficult to handle, and it feels like walking on a tightrope, and you will fall if you are not careful.

From these aspects, Vanke gave Zhu Xu such a generous salary, which she deserved, after all, she had secured the greatest benefits for the company. Zhu Xu is now 47 years old, but she still looks very young. The busy work did not make her too anxious, and the career of this "legendary" secretary to the board of directors is still continuing.
