Chapter 10: The Dark Living Room
On November 13, 2013, at 12:22 p.m., the weather was fine and the sun was shining outside through the window.
My office in the corporate headquarters is different from other department heads, their offices are concentrated on the highest 18th floor, which has a sense of being on top of the world, and mine is on the 1st floor. In the words of the boss Shao Dong, the sales department is the company's front position, responsible for charging into battle, and it is only grounded on the first floor.
I couldn't agree with this statement and convey and encourage my colleagues in the department in this way, although I know in my heart that the main reason is that my lack of skill in speaking often makes people unable to get off the stage.
Fortunately, in the past few years since I came to the company, the national economic situation is very good, and the real estate industry is the vanguard of various economic indicators.
In the words of our circle, there are only girls who can't get married, and there are no houses that can't be sold. I completely borrowed the light of the general environment, and I didn't worry about it day and night in this position. During the three days of my leave, the work of the department was not affected in the slightest, and the stock speculation, the reading of books, the reading of books, the Internet chatting, the Internet, and the love of WeChat.
We have completed this year's house sale task more than one month ahead of schedule, and the rest can only depend on the speed of other departments to build houses.
So the sales department, which should be the busiest, is quiet at the dawn here as the end of the year approaches.
Because of the transformation of the supply and demand market, the original season needs to vigorously urge the situation has not happened, you don't buy some people queue up to grab, in previous years, overdue defaults are almost rare this year.
If you want to say no, it's not, it's like I have a sales contract on my desk right now, and the secretary Xiaoji said embarrassedly when he handed the contract to me apologetically;" Mr. Cao, these managers can't handle it, please decide. ”
....................................
I drank in Jinsha last night, and after I arrived at the company, I stuck to my post with a positive attitude of being responsible for the company, closed the door and took a morning nap in the office.
Lunch is the secretary Xiao Ji from the canteen to help me call, the company has a rule that the working meal can only be in the canteen can not be taken back to the office, this little Nizi improvisation fox fake tiger Wei ability is not small, Cao always sick for a few days just went to work today, now a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, you look at it. When she left the cafeteria, a large number of people must have pointed at her back and discussed. In this society, performance speaks.
I had eaten the relatively acceptable set B in the company cafeteria, and I was feeling a little bored, and the secretary Xiaoji gave me this problem just right.
What a few managers can't handle, the owner behind this contract must not be underestimated.
"Who is it?" I asked.
Xiao Ji's small figure, white skin, and big eyes always love to be surprised. She looked at my uncertain expression, pursed her lips and said exaggeratedly, "It's Jiang Long from the Shangde Martial Arts Pavilion." ”
I lit a cigarette, and the company has a rule that you can't smoke in the office, so I didn't put an ashtray on the table, so I put an incense burner, and the company didn't rule that you can't light incense in the office.
In fact, Chairman Shao knows that the secretary Xiao Ji was appointed by his side.
Sometimes I even do this on purpose, because I understand that in a large company you need all kinds of people, and at the same time, you need these so-called talents to work closely together but they are working in silos. I only listen to Chairman Shao, sometimes it is obviously a simple departmental cooperation, and I deliberately wait until Chairman Shao speaks. In this way, with the support of performance, I am always on the list of salary increases every year.
This is office politics, and any boss likes subordinates who are both capable and loyal to him.
Jiang Long of the Shangde Martial Arts Pavilion and the Five Tigers of Xuancheng are now a legal society, and there are not many people in the entire Xuancheng City who have the nickname of the rivers and lakes, and this Jiang Long is counted as one.
I sighed and said, "You're really going to help me find trouble." ”
I pinched the butt of my cigarette, and although I hadn't taken a few puffs yet, I was used to taking a few puffs of a cigarette. got up and put on his tie, took the sales contract and said to Xiao Ji: "Help me tell Li Fenfen, I have been on a business trip for the past two days and will get this Jiang Long." ”
The attendance system in the company, computer punching, and matching the IP address host number, punching in and out on behalf of the company will not work here.
Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Cao, where are you on a business trip?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Just Xuancheng." ”
"This," Xiao Ji was embarrassed: "Vice Minister Li, you don't know it, and you don't talk very well." She weighed over her words.
I said casually: "It's okay, we were still singing together last night, you just do as you say." I'll look at the contract myself later, and I'll call you if I don't understand anything. ”
When I went out of the office door, I realized that I was thinking about Jiang Long just now, and some words might have slipped through my mouth. Stretched out his index finger and pointed at Xiao Ji and said, "There are some things you just need to know, there is no need to pass them on to the boss, the boss is very busy, do you know?"
Xiao Ji looked aggrieved and said angrily: "When did I pass the word, besides, you are my boss." ”
I smile, a person always compliments you, not necessarily a good thing.
....................................
At 1:19 p.m. on November 13, 2013, I drove to Wu Wangjing's home on Avenida Guigang in Xuancheng.
The sunlight was a little harsh, and I rolled down the bezel above the driver's seat and twisted to the side, whistling, with a bit of fake public pleasure in my heart.
I asked Wu Wangjing to talk about Jiang Long's house sales contract, and it was impossible for him to turn me away again.
The music in the car sounded, it was my mobile phone call, I nervously looked at the central control screen display, fortunately it was not the mysterious phone, it was the landline number of the company's office.
"Who?" I asked.
"Boss," Xiao Ji's voice was crisp and tactful, with a bit of childishness and charm: "That Jiang Long is said to have a bad temper and can do martial arts, you pay attention." ”
I smiled happily, it's always nice to have someone who cares about you, and said, "Got it, long-winded." ”
Xiao Ji said: "I washed the incense burner on your table, and the cigarette butts in it were not good for Aunt Zhang, who was sweeping the garbage, to see it." ”
I chuckled in my heart, why should the general manager secretary of a department be afraid of a cleaner? She was arranged by Shao Dong, could it be that Aunt Zhang is too? She is reminding me?
....................................
On November 13, 2013, at 2:18 p.m., almost all the lights were on in Wu Wangjing's home on Guigang Avenue in Xuancheng.
When I entered the door from outside, I still felt that the light inside the room had increased the room temperature by at least 5 degrees. What is the situation, all the windows are covered with thick opaque black curtains, but the interior is even brighter than the outside.
Wu Wangjing wore only a white tight vest on this early winter afternoon, shirtless, revealing two symmetrical green dragon tattoos on his arms. When I opened the door just now, the other hand was still holding a half-open folding fan and shaking there, and the whole scene was chaotic and weird.
I had not been foreannounced, and he seemed unsurprised by my arrival, as if he knew that I would come sooner or later.
When I entered, I looked around the living room, and except for the black and white dining table and chairs, the half-height boxwood carving Guan Gong was still in its original place, and all the other furniture seemed to have been rearranged. The sofa was moved from the left side of the entrance door to the balcony, and the coffee table in front of the sofa naturally changed its position. The TV cabinet and TV were originally directly opposite the sofa, but now they are abruptly leaning to the right of the sofa, and it is obviously extremely uncomfortable to tilt their necks when watching TV in this position, or Wu Wangjing doesn't look at it at all? The rosewood coat rack was at the entrance before, but now it has been strangely moved to the side of the sofa. The only advantage of such furnishings is that the owner of the house can observe the direction of the balcony at any time and can pick up the coat rack at any time to deal with attacks from the window.
I figured out one thing in my heart, it turned out that Wu Wangjing was not afraid of light, he was afraid of the outside world, the people in the outside world.
He wanted to shut himself off in his home and completely cut off everything from the outside world, but even so, he was still scared and ready at any time. With Wu Wangjing's skills, looking at the entire Xuancheng City, there is no other, what can he be afraid of?
It must have been a deviation in my memory, perhaps the rearranged furniture, which made my memory distorted.
I always feel that there is something missing in the living room compared to two days ago, but the furniture that should be in the living room is now there, what is missing?
Wu Wangjing let me go to the sofa and handed me the jar Wang Laoji. I was going to say, don't drive me out today, but in this strange and disorderly brightly lit living room, I really feel a little scared, and I can't even speak.
