More than ten years ago, there were rumors that there was a glass ceiling in the American workplace, which was invisible and tangible. Chinese Americans working in American companies could only perform technically, and it would be difficult for them to rise to the management level. This rumor may have some truth to it. In the early years, Chinese Americans did mostly work in technical jobs in large American companies. Vincent Zhao is an exception. His job is to manage suppliers. Speaking of which, supplier managers and suppliers really complement and inhibit each other, and no one can live without the other. This work not only requires experience, vision, and means, but also requires time to establish interpersonal relationships. Vincent has been in this business for many years and is an expert. He serves as the senior director of supplier management in their company and reports to the vice president of production. Although their company is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, its main suppliers are in Asia, so he has to travel to Asia almost every two months.
