This happen cause the manager left the office 3 months ago, so my boss asked me to go there to cover and take the care of the office, but then the time passed and I still go there. IDK next year after the CNY I will go there definitely but I’m not sure. The office is not so big, like the Shanghai one. The team is composed by 5 people they are all Chinese, so I went for a gala dinner of a French chamber of commerce and then my boss and I are planning the schedule of the next month, I’ll stay for at least 2 weeks per month, I’ll be more involved in business development with FCC. .
