VIP Class Notes (Mark)

Is there any interesting points about my job? I think if I can find some risk points and then hand this points over to my manager, and if he can get these points and decide, “Yes we should not invest this project,” I think it’s good thing. I often go on travel trip, travel business. I have one daughter and my wife. They are not in Shanghai. On weekend I will go back home. But it’s OK, because it’s only take me about one hour from Shanghai to the city by train. And sometimes I should also work overtime at weekends. Sometimes, even I go home and stay at home, I should do the work at home.
