Chapter 139: The Big Waves Sweep the Sands
On Sunday, I woke up in an unfinished dream, in which I was with Han Yue, but when I dreamed of walking with her on the beach, the moment she looked back at me, a dazzling sun shone over, and I subconsciously raised my hand to block my eyes, and at the same time I also woke up.
I opened my eyes dimly, and it turned out that I didn't close the curtains in the room last night, so the dazzling sunlight in my dream was real. But why do I have such dreams? Is it really "thinking about things day and dreaming at night"?
......
It's still a casual day, but I don't let myself be idle. I habitually make myself a pot of tea, then plug the USB stick I brought back with me on Friday night into my computer and continue with the unfinished work.
I was busy until the afternoon, thinking about letting myself take a break, and by the way, I took advantage of this time to make a video call to Yang Fan on WeChat, and it was time to talk to him after so many days.
"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"
"Hey, Cheng Ting, can you hear me?" Yang Fan on the screen shook his head, for fear that I wouldn't be able to see, and through the small screen, I saw the humble rental house where he lived.
"I can hear it. "I got closer to the screen and noticed that he had several pimples on his face, and his complexion was sallow, which was much worse than his skin before.
I said, "What's the matter with your face? Why do you have so many pimples?"
"Hey, Sensei, the food here in Chongqing is inseparable from spicy food for three meals a day, you know I can't eat spicy food, so it's normal to have acne. He picked up a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's okay now, when I first came, I had diarrhea at both ends in three days, the thief was uncomfortable, and it was normal for the skin to be poor, as long as it was a working day, I basically worked overtime every night." After finishing speaking, he finally lit the cigarette in his mouth, and then he added, as if he remembered something, "Let me tell you, our director is an iron-clad female devil, because the company is not very manpower now, so many things are done by one person to do the work of several people, either I stay and work overtime, or I follow her to socialize and drink at night to accompany customers." ”
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he didn't forget to stand up and pull his clothes on, and show me his beer belly. I smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll send you some things from our Guangdong side and get some medicinal herbs, so that you can make your own soup and drink." ”
Yang Fan smiled, took his mobile phone and walked to the cabinet, "See, right?" Yam, lentils, American ginseng...... Wait, there's a lot of food, these are all sent to me by Xu Qing before, so you don't have to send me any more courier things, there's more!" Speaking of Xu Qing, the smile on his face suddenly brightened.
We talked about a lot of daily topics, and when I asked him when he planned to bring Xu Qing with him, he said that the time was not yet ripe and that he would have to wait. However, our video call did not last long, Yang Fan said that in order to save money, he did not install a wireless network in the rental house, and I used his own mobile phone data to make calls, so the signal was not stable.
Actually, it's okay, I see that he is more motivated than before, he has just been working in Chongqing for about a month, and his salary has exceeded more than 7,000, which is higher than his previous income in Guangzhou. Although I know that he has earned hard-earned money from domestic violence, it is not easy, but this is a good start. Who would be easy to work?
......
On Monday, a new working day is here. On this morning, every colleague in the company was like a big enemy, because in the morning all the management of the company was called to a very important meeting, and this meeting was to announce the appraisal of the month from October to November, which meant that someone was going to be eliminated. At this time, colleagues in the personnel department are like "killing gods", and the office of which department they go to means that someone in the office is going to be fired.
The people from the personnel department came from the outermost office to "open the knife", and while I went out for a walk, I really saw some colleagues who were quite familiar with the past were packing up the things on their desks with a depressed face. Of course, there are also some people who are sneering, probably because they feel that they have one less competitor!
Finally, they came to the office of our planning department, and the eliminated people were equivalent to one person from our previous three groups, and the two people who were fired from Group A and Group B respectively, I didn't think it was a big deal, until our former Group C people, Lin Ji was included in it. He had no choice but to accept the reality and pack up his things, with a hint of remorse in his helpless expression, perhaps regretting that he didn't take his work seriously at the beginning.
I couldn't bear it, and when he packed up his things and left the office, I sent him to take the elevator, and Yu Yao followed behind me, but I didn't see Fang Kai.
I patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, but didn't offer to say anything superficial. Lin Ji held the box with both hands and sneered a little disappointed, "Cheng Ting, if I had listened to you at the beginning, maybe I wouldn't have been eliminated today......"
"Don't talk about these past things, go back and adjust your state and look for a job again, just a job, it's not a big deal, I believe in your ability, you are a potential stock. I still said those "superficial" words of comfort.
"Yes, Lin Ji, we all believe in you!" Yu Yao clenched his little fist and said with an encouraging expression: "Come on!"
"No, in a company, being laid off and quitting yourself are two completely different things, and you don't experience that feeling if you haven't tried it. He pursed his lips and glanced behind me and Yu Yao, his face became a little disappointed, "Fang Kai didn't come, did he?" He lowered his head and said to himself: "It's okay, eat a trench and grow wise, how can there be any feelings in the workplace, it's nothing more than a relationship of interest, you can come to see me, I already feel very happy." ”
When the elevator arrived, he walked inside, squeezed out a smile to look at us, and said, "Go back, I'll go first." The elevator door closed slowly, and the picture in my mind was still stuck on the smile he had just given us.
After a while, Yu Yao, who was standing next to me, said calmly: "Cheng Ting, I'm also leaving." ”
I turned to look at her with a surprised expression, "Don't you ...... too?"
She chuckled, shook her head and said, "No, I submitted my resignation by myself, and I handed over the resignation letter to Director Feng as soon as I arrived at the company today." ”
I was silent for a while, and responded with a smile, "I remember what you told me before, wait until you resign and go on a trip, and don't forget to take more photos when the time comes, so that I can also feel the beautiful scenery of the motherland!"
"Maybe it's abroad!" she smiled, "don't worry, it will, when the time comes, you give me the address, and I'll give you a courier gift." ”
"Okay. ”
.......
After chatting with Yu Yao at the elevator entrance of the company that day, I didn't expect that it would be the last time I met her in the company, because she resigned that morning after getting the consent of Director Feng and the personnel department. This shows that Yu Yao had actually planned it a long time ago, no wonder she often worked overtime before that, it turned out that she was doing a good job of handover, if there was no work at hand to hand over, it was indeed possible to complete the resignation procedures quickly.
In this week, I felt that the atmosphere in the office had become more depressing, it was definitely the most deserted time in the company since I joined Star International, obviously there were not many people who were laid off, but I felt that there were many people missing. The big waves are sweeping the sand, and the elites in the workplace are all coming over like this, just like the saying that is very popular on the Internet, "Only when the tide recedes, will you know who is swimming", the result-oriented reality, the ending will not accompany you to act, how to work, only you know best in your heart.
The five-day working day ended quietly in our busyness, and it was Friday night, not long after getting off work, Wen Shuya, who had not been in touch for some days, called me, saying that her café was holding activities in the evening, and that there was a new product recently, and asked me to go over and try it, and finally specially told me that Han Yue would also pass, and now she was on the way out.
I agreed to Wen Shuya's invitation on the phone, but when she said that Han Yue would also pass, she always felt strange in her heart, which inevitably reminded me of the scene when I went to climb Baiyun Mountain with her last week......
