At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Jiyuan, the sales manager of the home appliance area of Qinggang Hengya Department Store, was lying on the bed watching TV.

His wife, Du Xiulan, sat next to her knitting sweaters, and her six-year-old son went out to play and has not yet returned.

Du Xiulan glanced at the TV advertisement a few times, knitted a sweater, and said: "Jiyuan, what kind of Tiancheng electrical appliance mall is bragging? In the past few days, I have always watched them advertise, and the TV and newspapers are almost opened by his family, and several colleagues in our hospital often talk about this when they are fine, and they all say that they brag and blow the sky!"

Lu Jiyuan turned over, ignored his wife's words, and continued to watch the advertisement.

"Choose Tiancheng Electrical Appliance Mall, we will let you enjoy the lowest price, the best quality service, to give you a new shopping experience! January 23rd, Lunar Laba Festival, Tiancheng Electrical Appliance Mall welcomes your visit! Mysterious gifts, please look forward to it!"

After the announcer's sweet voice finished the advertising words, Lu Jiyuan sighed silently.

"Mysterious gift, stay tuned?" Du Xiulan lowered her head with some disdain and said, "What kind of mysterious gift can it be?" Recently, I have been listening to this advertising slogan every day, and now even I am curious about how they bragged on the day of Laba. ”

Lu Jiyuan didn't seem to hear his wife's words, and fell into his own contemplation.

After graduating from the Business School of Nankai University in 1982, he was assigned to work in Qinggang Hengya Department Store.

Although the name of the sales manager sounds good, he is actually just a small foreman in the home appliance area, and his monthly salary is only 231 yuan dryly, with no commission.

However, because household appliances are in short supply in the market, especially those in demand, they need to be approved to go through the relationship to buy, if Lu Jiyuan is a little more active and black, just getting a kickback is also a considerable income.

However, Lu Jiyuan has a straightforward temperament, and he just can't play this set. The other sales managers have all made a fortune through this method, but Lu Jiyuan is angry that others are engaging in these crooked ways, and at the same time sighs that he has some knowledge, but there is no room to achieve it.

The sales methods of household appliances are all old-fashioned, the workers serve iron rice bowls, eat public food, and get dead wages, and there is no service attitude and innovation at all, and they also have a high-minded stinky face for customers, and they don't want to buy them! Anyway, household appliances are so in demand, don't worry about not being able to sell them!

Lu Jiyuan proposed several times to improve sales methods, improve service quality, and use foreign scientific management methods to rectify Hengya Department Store, but no one appreciated it.

The leader asked him to calm down, be down-to-earth, do it step by step, and don't be so ambitious. Colleagues are yin and yang one by one, saying that he has nothing to do when he is full, what kind of service quality does he improve, you go to serve yourself?

Lu Jiyuan put forward his opinions a few times, but he didn't get anything, and he made himself stinker and worse, and he was completely isolated, and he almost didn't even talk to him at work!

As for his former college classmates, many of them have become prosperous in the past few years! Some have even entered politics and have become county magistrates and parents and officials of the ruling party! Some have entered large monopoly state-owned enterprises and have also become middle-level cadres, taking charge of their own affairs, and their prospects are boundless!

And he, although he is also working in a state-owned enterprise, is incomparable with the county magistrate and the middle-level cadre of a monopoly state-owned enterprise!

What's more, Lu Jiyuan is already dead in Hengya Department Store, and he knows that he will never have room to show his ambitions here!

Seeing that the age has passed the 30th mark and the child is already six years old, he still lives in the dormitory assigned to his father-in-law and mother-in-law in this unit, and it is only about 40 square meters, and the husband and wife live together with their son in one bedroom.

The son is also older now, sometimes the two of them live a married life at night while their son is asleep, and they are also cautious, for fear of waking up their son, after a long time, Lu Jiyuan feels that he is a little premature ejaculation, and his wife is also very dissatisfied, although he never says anything, but every time he finishes something, his wife's unsatisfied face makes Lu Jiyuan very embarrassed!

Although his wife is embarrassed to complain about him in the life of husband and wife, he is so desperate that he can't even go around the relationship and get a sought-after electrical appliance for people, which can not only earn some extra money, but also leave favors behind, such a good thing, he will not do it, but he will not let his wife count it!

The gap between the ideal and the reality makes Lu Jiyuan miserable every day!

This kind of day, it's really *** enough!

And his parents are honest farmers, and it is not easy not to drag him down financially, let alone give him any help.

If you want to change your life and change your fate, you can only rely on yourself!

"Hey, Jiyuan, what do you want?" Du Xiulan saw that Lu Jiyuan didn't speak for a long time, and asked again, her tone was already a little impatient.

Lu Jiyuan silently got up and sat on the bed, looked at Du Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, I want to ...... Resign. ”

"What, resign?" Du Xiulan put down her sweater and widened her eyes.

After a while, Du Xiulan picked up the sweater again and said in a disdainful tone: "What can you do if you resign? You can't even let go of personal favors, that is, now you are holding an iron rice bowl and getting a dead salary, if you resign and want our mother and mother to drink the northwest wind?"

Lu Jiyuan originally wanted to have a good chat with his wife about his thoughts, but others thought that the Tiancheng Electric Appliance Mall was unreliable, but he felt that his eyes were bright!

Perhaps, only such a place can let him get rid of those things that are imprisoned in him, can he be given a stage, and let him realize the value of life and change his fate.

However, Du Xiulan's cynical tone made his heart burn again, and he was reluctant to communicate with his wife anymore.

Lu Jiyuan stood up, put on his pants, put on a yellow, half-used military cotton jacket, and walked out.

"Why are you going?" Du Xiulan shouted with a glare.

"Find your son!" Lu Jiyuan said angrily, walked out of the door in two or three steps, and closed the door heavily.

Du Xiulan stared at the door of the room where she was killed for ten seconds, and threw her sweater on the bed!

The weather was already very cold, Lu Jiyuan tightened his military jacket and lit a cigarette. At this time, the son is usually playing hide and seek with his friends in the alley in the east, and he doesn't need to look for it at all, he comes out mainly to relax.

When I went downstairs, I met Uncle Yang, who lived on the first floor, coming out to pour ashes.

Uncle Yang also used to work in Hengya Department Store, and retired from the position of deputy director of logistics, speaking of which can be regarded as Lu Jiyuan's old leader, and Uncle Yang is kind and has a high party spirit, and he is not contaminated with those smoky things, and he has always taken care of Lu Jiyuan, and Lu Jiyuan does not hate him in his heart.

"Uncle Yang, let me come!" Lu Jiyuan immediately ran over to grab the iron dustpan in Uncle Yang's hand.

Uncle Yang didn't shirk either, and after handing over the iron dustpan to Lu Jiyuan, he said: "Jiyuan, Manager Wang of our unit came to me to play a few games of chess this afternoon, and told me about you by the way. ”

Uncle Yang's words made Lu Jiyuan's heart tremble, this Manager Wang and his sales manager in the electrical appliance area are not the same, he is the deputy general manager of the entire constant voltage electrical appliance mall, the second in command!

In Lu Jiyuan's view, this Manager Wang is a smiling tiger, a group of amiable on the surface, but extremely insidious behind the scenes! The atmosphere of the entire constant voltage electrical appliance market is damaged by him, and he is the one who does not take the law and principles into account!

Lu Jiyuan has always been unaccustomed to him, and of course, Manager Wang doesn't take him seriously at all!

Listening to Uncle Yang's tone, Lu Jiyuan understood that this Manager Wang definitely didn't say anything good.

"Oh, Uncle Yang, what did Manager Wang say?" Lu Jiyuan asked in a relaxed tone while pouring the coal ash into the big trash can.

"Alas, Jiyuan, we've known each other for so many years, and we live upstairs and downstairs, I'm also old comrades-in-arms with your father-in-law, I really treat you as my own child......" Uncle Yang first came to foreshadow, and then continued, "Manager Wang told me today that you are still not very gregarious in the unit, and the relationship with your colleagues is too stiff......"

Because of his psychological preparation, Lu Jiyuan was not surprised, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Uncle Yang, you also know that I am a donkey with this temper......

"Jiyuan, I am still very relieved of your character, but the current society is different from before," Uncle Yang said with a sigh...... "Manager Wang said that when the unit elects the annual pacesetter, it may also select some negative examples to urge them to progress...... Because you don't have a good relationship with other colleagues in the unit, and these are voted on by all employees, ......"

"Uncle Yang, I understand. Lu Jiyuan gritted his teeth and said this, but his whole body was like a fire!

I graduated from a famous university, worked diligently in the shopping mall for so many years, never had a bad conscience, did not earn a penny by going through the back door, and made a penny by approving strips, and offended so many people for this, and it was just that I couldn't be promoted, and now I have to be rated as a negative model?

If you work diligently, just because you have a bad interpersonal relationship, you have to be rated as a negative model?!

Uncle Yang saw the huge fluctuations in Lu Jiyuan's mood, and said: "Jiyuan, I didn't want to tell you about this matter, but I happened to meet it, so I decided to tell you about it." When Manager Wang started working, I was under him, and he also knew the relationship between us, so I would tell him about this matter, even if it is based on negative examples, it will definitely not be judged on you! Besides, Manager Wang said that this is also a proposal, and it has not yet been determined to be implemented...... But, Jiyuan, you have to continue to work here in the future, and there are some things, don't take it too seriously......"

Lu Jiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Uncle Yang, a cadre with party spirit, can say such heart-wrenching words to himself, and he can be regarded as home!

Lu Jiyuan, Lu Jiyuan, why did you become this bear?

Lu Jiyuan didn't know how to say goodbye to Uncle Yang, and walked on the street in late autumn with a lost soul.
