When Su Qing came in to add tea to him, Geng Zhiyuan grabbed her and complained: "Qingqing, I've worked hard for a year, and guess what? ”

Su Qing didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan, the stall you spread out is too big, according to this extravagance, you don't have enough money to spend." ”

Geng Zhiyuan suddenly realized: "Yes! Qingqing, what you said is right! I have to pay attention this year, and I can't pave the way anymore." I'm not a business wizard, and I don't have any family backing up, so I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll really lose it all. ”

There is a way that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and greed is the desire of people to be infinite.

With his own efforts and coincidence, Geng Zhiyuan and his companions were lucky enough to find the first pot of gold in their lives, and they made a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan in just two or three years, so that he had a certain amount of capital and at the same time sprouted endless greed, and always felt that it was not difficult to earn money in the world.

did not go through the cruel lesson of failure, and as soon as Lin Chu and Geng Yan were wooed, they blindly expanded their investment, regardless of their own lack of funds, and even took risks in the form of mortgages.

It is true that Nirvana is in danger, but no matter which of these investments fails, he will fall into a point of no return, after all, he does not have any spare capital and connections in his hands that can be turned around.

"It's so dangerous!" Geng Zhiyuan wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead, and said secretly: "We, a layman in the business world, have made all the money we have earned by great luck and used it to distribute dividends, and we haven't thought about what to do if we encounter it, which is really audacious." ”

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Young people have not been tempered by failure, and they are naturally not afraid of heaven and earth when they do things, and they are full of enthusiasm. However, once you break out of your own world, you must sum up the lessons and try to avoid the detours taken by your predecessors and the traps you have fallen into. If you still rush forward as before, regardless of the brain, you will eventually run into a bloody stream sooner or later.

Fortunately, Geng Zhiyuan's biggest advantage is that he often summarizes and reflects, is proud and does not forget the form, is not discouraged when he fails, asks questions if he doesn't understand, learns without knowing it, and is a realistic and down-to-earth doer.

The Spring Festival in 2001 was on January 24, and there were at most three weeks after New Year's Day. On the morning of the new year, the craft room held the year-end summary meeting of the whole room in 2000 according to the usual practice.

In the past three and a half years of work, Geng Zhiyuan has gradually seen through that the so-called advanced is not selected or done at all. The votes in the room have never been sung publicly, and the advanced people who are finally commended in the courtyard are always the few celebrities in the eyes of the leaders.

In fact, even if you are selected in the room, it is possible to take you down when you go to the hospital-level leader. The leader's explanation is that the institute should consider the contribution of each comrade to the design institute in an all-round way, and cannot just look at the votes. To put it bluntly, whether you are advanced in the end mainly depends on the impression and evaluation of you by the leaders of the hospital.

After Tian Bida became the director, Xiao Yuying also became a popular candidate, and it is estimated that she will have a share of this year's advanced eight or nine times out of ten.

When Tian Bida finished reading the summary of the craft room in 2000, Jia Rui first asked: "Director Tian, how to choose this year's advanced?"

Tian Bida didn't expect Jia Rui to question him in person, and was stunned: "It's the same as before, vote." ”

Jia Rui sneered: "Is voting useful? I have been here for more than ten years, and I have not been elected as an advanced one. ”

"The fact that the first is voted for by the whole room shows that everyone thinks that you are not doing a good job enough. Tian Bida explained with a smile.

Jia Rui was a little unhappy when he heard this, and walked out of the crowd and said loudly: "I think I've done well enough, and I should have a share of this year's advancement." ”

A marginal figure recognized by everyone dared to openly argue with himself, Tian Bida held back his anger and said: "You don't think you can do it, you must be recognized by everyone." ”

Jia Rui ignored him and said to everyone: "In the first half of last year, I went to Haizhou 1830 for on-site construction service for half a year, and in the second half of the year, I went to Jingzhou Petrochemical for on-site design, and I only came back in December. I spent eight or nine months on the spot. For the sake of work, even my wife divorced me. I'm not advanced if I'm working so hard, so how can I be advanced?"

Jia Rui broke the routine and complained in public, which caused a lot of discussion. Poor people must have something to hate, Geng Zhiyuan said secretly: "Jia Rui has worked for so many years in vain, and he still doesn't understand that the selection of advanced design institutes is actually an unspoken rule. As long as the leader does not approve, no matter how well you do, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain. They don't care if a little person like you lives or dies. ”

"Okay, what are you messing with in the room meeting?" Tian Bida said with a disgusted face.

"You ......!" Jia Rui felt contempt and insult from his eyes, and glared angrily: "Manly man, you can kill but not humiliate!"

Tian Bida waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Are you a taxi? Don't feel good about yourself, hurry up." ”

"Lao Tzu is gone!" Jia Rui finally got fed up with being looked down upon, and pointed at Tian Bida and said angrily: "There is no master here, there is a place to keep a master! There is no master everywhere, the master still has skills! Lao Tzu will not serve you anymore!"

After that, Jia Rui slammed the door angrily, leaving a sentence: "Lao Tzu will resign!"

In the provincial courtyard, Jia Rui has always been a wreck who is looked down upon. Now that the nest has started a fire, everyone is surprised and can't help but look at each other.

"A madman! Leave him alone, let's choose ours. Tian Bida was so angry that he even omitted the steps for everyone to read out their own summary, and jumped directly to the selection of the first. Geng Zhiyuan shook his head secretly and scribbled a few names on the ballot.

After the meeting ended, Wang Ping brought a shocking news that Jia Rui had just gone to the personnel department to formally submit his resignation letter.

"Xiao Jia is too impulsive, he has lost his wife and resigned, what can he do in the future?" Lin Yin sympathized.

"I heard that a design institute in Shanghai asked him to be an expert. Xia Su said: "Although Jia Rui is not likable, he doesn't say anything technically, and he can eat anywhere." ”

"I've been doing it for more than ten years, and this kid is a bit of a ghost, so it's a pity to leave. Wang Ping sighed.

"Whoever leaves, the design institute will continue to open. Lin Yin is old and well-informed, and recalled: "In the past, Li Daosheng was a capable person, a master's student in the 80s, and he gave us a lot of good suggestions after being assigned here. It's a pity that the leaders of our hospital listened to the opinions of a young man? Within two years, he resigned and left, and he heard that he had opened a company in Beijing and was doing a great job. ”

Capable people are capable people everywhere, and how to help them is also cowardly. After Jia Rui leaves the design institute, maybe he will have another opportunity to do something that he never dared to think of before.

Approaching the Spring Festival, there are often banquets and gatherings among various project teams, offices or key colleagues. That night, the eight remaining members of the 12 Arhats who entered the hospital in the same year got together for a drink.

When the banquet was over, the drunken Wei Jianye grabbed Geng Zhiyuan and said, "Old Geng, as an alumnus, I have to remind you a few words......

Geng Zhiyuan thought that he was drunk and said drunk, and said with a smile: "Lao Wei, if you have anything to say, you just say." ”

"Do you know?" Wei Jianye said with a sly smile: "In the future, the director of the craft room will either be Zeng Dayou or Yu Qing." ”

Geng Zhiyuan was secretly taken aback and said, "What's the matter?

"Grapevine?" Wei Jianye sneered: "I went to Yang Wenge's house to worship my early years, and I happened to meet Yu Qinghe, and I ran into Zeng Dayou when I went out. Is this gossip?"

Zeng Dayou and Yu Qinghe actually went to Yang Wenge's house to contact their feelings, Geng Zhiyuan secretly admired: "You guys are okay, you are still qualified to go to his house as a guest, if I want to go, he may not let me in." ”

Wei Jianye snorted: "I'm telling you, don't look at the two of them who usually have a good relationship with you, they should still plant thorns for you at critical moments, you better not be too realistic, it's better to be careful." ”

In the face of interests, feelings always come second. Geng Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I know, thank you, Lao Wei." ”

Everyone will try their best to run for their future, Zeng Dayou and Yu Qinghe will naturally make full use of it since they can get in touch with Yang Wenge, and the same is true for Geng Zhiyuan, so no one has to look down on anyone, and no one has to envy anyone.

Besides, if you want to be promoted in state-owned enterprises, you rely on relationships and standing in line, as for whether you do well or not, you really respond to the sentence: "If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it." If you say no, you can't, and you can't. Horizontal batch: If you don't accept it, you can't do it. ”

When he got home, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Su Qing still didn't sleep, sitting on the sofa in the living room, thinking about waiting for him to come back.

Finally waited for him to enter the door, Su Qing hurriedly helped him get his slippers, and said with concern: "Did you drink too much today?"

"Not much. Geng Zhiyuan took off his coat and said: "It's all old guys, who know that I drink a lot of alcohol, so they don't let me drink more." ”

"Zhiyuan, tomorrow I will accompany my mother back to Lanxi, and you take care of yourself at home. Su Qing said uneasily.

"What time is the plane tomorrow morning?"

"At half past eight, my cousin will pick us up in the factory car in the morning, so don't go. ”

"Okay. Geng Zhiyuan was quite reluctant to say: "When you go, the home is deserted, and I am really a little uncomfortable." ”

Su Qing said embarrassedly: "We are not married yet, I can't follow you home for the New Year, I'm sorry." ”

"Alas!" Geng Zhiyuan sighed and said, "I have to wait for another two years, the rule that the university does not allow marriage should really be changed." ”

Su Qing's face was slightly red and said, "Isn't it already halfway through, hold on for another two years, and I will marry you as soon as I graduate." ”

Geng Zhiyuan was bold and bold, grabbed his girlfriend and said, "Qingqing, you are leaving tomorrow, stay with me tonight." ”

"Phew!" Su Qing blushed and said, "Have you forgotten?" I have had a good time in the past few days, and I can't accompany you." ”

"Alas, why are women so troublesome!" Geng Zhiyuan complained a few words, and fell asleep on the sofa.

Su Qing took a blanket and carefully covered him, sat beside him with love, admiring her boyfriend's handsome face, and gently humming the soothing "Piano Music of the Night" in her mouth. Accompanied by the melodious tune hummed by his girlfriend, Geng Zhiyuan snored and fell into a deep dreamland.
