Our director’s surname is Fu, our deputy director’s surname is Zheng, and our division director’s surname is Nie. How should we call them when we work with them every day?

Actually, this is a very common thing. The reason why I feel so entangled is because the other person’s last name does not match or even conflicts with the position. I am afraid of arousing the other person’s resentment by calling him rashly. In fact, this idea is a bit over the top. Maybe the other party doesn't care at all about how to address them, because that's the last name they have and can't change it. Maybe the director or deputy director doesn't care too much, but the person who calls you is afraid of offending the other party and thinks too much. This situation is sometimes asking for trouble.

A person who can be a leader and manage others is naturally a smart person. His surname is Fu, and his position is Director, so it’s natural to call him Director Fu. If the deputy director’s surname is Zheng, then he boldly calls him Director Zheng. Everyone understands the size of his position, and calling them for work is just a courtesy, without any adulteration. Other reasons and purposes, adults fully understand this. If you ask them to do something at work, they will not deliberately make things difficult just because of your address.

If you feel that this is not good and you are afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the other party, then you might as well not use your last name. For example, when calling Director Fu., just call him the Director directly. When greeting the deputy director, do not use your last name and just call him directly. Calling Director, this will ensure you pass the test. Calling Director Nie is also directly called Director. This is the most appropriate address, no matter what, no one can find fault with it.

Speaking of interpersonal relationships, they are quite complicated. When you meet a magnanimous person, nothing is a problem. I'm afraid that if I meet someone with a thoughtful mind, a small matter will turn into a big deal, which will be very troublesome.

A closer analysis shows that if you call Director Fu in front of the public, some outsiders may mistakenly think that this person is not the chief director. It happens that both of them are present. When calling the deputy director, use your last name and call him Zheng. ..Director, and this Director is also embarrassed to explain this, maybe he feels uncomfortable. In view of this factor, do not use your last name in public. If you're in the office or you're all acquaintances, it's okay to call them this. This depends on the occasion.

In life, we often encounter some surnames and first names that are connected together, which is quite strange. For example, Shi Zhenxiang, it is easy to associate it with homophones when read, so just call the last two characters. In the 1960s and 1970s, some farmers had a strong sense of feudalism. In order to provide for their children, they gave them strange names. They called them Gou Sheng Gou Dan. Some of them had no names and were even called Lao San Lao Si. Now our community employs such people as security guards. It was very indecent to call him, so whenever he came in and out to say hello, the neighbors did not call him by his first name, but only by his surname, such as Lao Wang and Lao Li. In fact, even if you directly call the person "Gousang Goudan", it won't sound unpleasant to others, but the person who calls you the name feels that the words are not very civilized. If it is in a crowded place, it will be very uncomfortable for others to hear it.

The combination of the surname and the first name is just a unique symbol of the individual, and the second one is just a simple title and has no other meaning.

The director named Fu and Deputy Director Zheng, if they are together and call them director or deputy director, they may agree together. They have the same surname in the first place. There is nothing we can do about it.
