Chapter 12: Dikai's Rivalry
Jing Yao's appearance helped me relieve the first crisis I encountered less than three hours after taking office, at this time, in the face of her, I couldn't say a thousand words, only relative silence, a cup of coffee will precipitate the years. Stefanie Sun's song "What I Miss" slowly floated in the coffee shop, but what do we really miss?
At the end of the song, the music switched to the next one, Jing Yao pressed the service bell, and the waiter in the coffee shop came over and bent down and asked, "Hello, do you need anything?"
Jing Yao took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the waiter, and said politely, "Please help me replay the previous song." ”
The waiter returned the money to Jing Yao and said politely, "Okay, you don't need to pay to order songs here." ”
Jing Yao was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had returned to China, and after the waiter walked away, the coffee shop replayed Sun Yanzi's song "I Miss", I took a sip of coffee, looked at Jing Yao opposite and asked, "What do you miss?"
"About everything that has been, how have you been doing all these years?"
"You've seen it all! I've been like this a few days ago, I was still delivering takeaways, and it was an accident to be able to come to work in Dikai, even if I came, but I was just a security guard, and I was embarrassed on the first day of my appointment, you have seen all this, what do you think of my life?"
"I want to hear you tell me in person how you are doing, and why did your Chinese score in the college entrance examination so low back then?"
"It's been all these years, do you remember this incident?
Jing Yao smiled self-deprecatingly, looked out the window and said: "Yes, so many years have passed, what am I still thinking about so persistently? I returned to China this time to do immigration, I didn't expect fate to be so kind to me, let me meet you here, silently you know? You are a coward, a coward who does not dare to face his feelings, I have seen you log in to my space countless times, browse the photos I posted in the QQ space, dynamic, but you never leave a word, not to mention that you can really forget the past, just in the year or two when I arrived in France, I have to update the "talk" "album" almost every day, send some text about the mood, I just want you to see, I hope you will contact me one day, but I have waited for so long, from anticipation to dull ......"
"Jing Yao, don't talk about it, now we all have our own lives, don't we?" I endured the sadness in my heart and pretended to be relaxed and said, "You are also going to immigrate to France, bless you." Encountering in the room, maybe it is to let us draw an end to the former feelings, we are not young anymore, the so-called 'flower season' and 'rainy season' have long passed, and we are now only left with 'real' and 'plain' in our lives. Say goodbye to the past, I used to like you, and now I still appreciate the care you took care of me back then, but I'm not the young boy I was back then, and I know that we all have to face reality, so ...... I wish you a good development in a foreign country, remember to get together when you have time to return to China, even if you don't come back, you can often send messages and contact in a foreign country. ”
Jing Yao's eyes were full of tears, and she bit her lower lip and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this what you want to tell me?"
I nodded, got up and said: "I haven't seen each other for so many years, the living environment of the two of us is so different, each other's values have long changed, even if we still miss the life we used to have, it can't go back, just let that beauty remain in each other's memories, I'm going back to work, or that sentence, have time to contact often." ”
After speaking, I walked out of the café with numb legs, I admit that I am a coward, I dare not face my heart, think from a different angle, even if it is love, what can it be? Can we still be together without scruples like in high school? We are all adults, feelings are no longer just like to be together, since we live in this world, we should recognize the current situation of this society, no money, no house, no car is not worthy of love.
Back at the Dikai International Hotel, several security guards on duty ignored me, I lowered my head and walked to the internal elevator to the second floor, to go back to my office, I need to pass through the conference room first, there are more than a dozen security guards chatting in the conference room, some leaning on the back of the chair, stretching their feet to the conference table, some simply sit on the table, smoking unscrupulously, the whole room is filled with the smell of smoke.
Seeing me come in, these people looked at me one by one with alert eyes, but they were chatting to themselves, and the meeting with Jing Yao was not comfortable, plus these people looked at me, I was angry, although I had never been a leader, when I passed by Cao Youwei's office, I raised my foot and kicked on the door of his office, and suddenly the whole conference room suddenly became quiet.
Cao Youwei's office was empty, it was empty, I turned around and looked at the chubby security guard and shouted: "It's you, immediately ask Cao Youwei to come to my office to see me, no matter whether he finishes lunch or not, he must arrive within five minutes." ”
After speaking, I went straight to the minister's office and pushed the door open, then closed the door heavily, sat on a chair alone and lit a cigarette, quietly waiting for Cao Youwei to appear.
Cao Youwei was actually resting in the dormitory outside the conference room, he walked over for a minute at most, but he was struggling, and he didn't come in to the conference room, but chatted with the security guards outside, I heard all this, and when it was the sixth minute, Cao Youwei didn't knock on the door, pushed open the door of my office and said with a faint smile on his face: "I'm sorry, there is a bit of a traffic jam on the road, just one minute late." ”
The security guard outside the door laughed when he heard this, this was obviously a deliberate provocation, and he took out a look: What kind of posture can you look at me.
After all, I have an old man in his forties, and seeing Cao Youwei like this, my anger went even further, and I yelled after taking the case: "You are fucking trying to go against me, are you, what is going on with today's surveillance? Why did you push me out to solve the problem? Is this the fucking thing I should be in charge of?"
Cao Youwei saw that I was angry, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully: "In the position, seeking his position, if you feel that your ability is limited, you can tell Assistant Liu to resign, obviously you can't solve a trivial matter, and blame me? I really don't know what relationship you dragged in, and I think it's a humiliation for me to cooperate with you." ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Youwei brushed his sleeves and left, leaving me alone in the office. Outside the door, there was another louder laugh from the security guards.
I sat helplessly in my chair in a daze, what should I do with this job? Ten minutes later, a man in a suit walked in with a woman in her forties, Cao Youwei followed behind these two people, the man in a suit walked into my office and looked around, then pretended to look at the lady and asked, "Director Zhao, what's going on? Who is he? Who arranged to come to the security department?"
The lady pushed the glasses on her nose and explained again and again: "Lu is always like this, Liu Xiaoru asked me to do personnel registration in the morning, and arranged for him to come to the security department to serve as the minister, which was not interviewed by our personnel department." ”
"Withdrawn. The man said cleanly, "Arrange for Cao Youwei to be the Minister of Security." ”
"It's not appropriate, right?" Xiao Ru and Lu Yuxin then appeared in my office, it was Xiao Ru who spoke, she looked at the man with a faint smile on her face and said, "The person personally arranged by the general manager, you can withdraw if you say it, is it really good to do this?"
"Yuxin?" The man in the suit couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lu Yuxin, and asked in an inquiring tone, "Did you arrange this person?"
"Yes. Lu Yuxin said very calmly: "Recently, the hotel security department has been complained about a lot, and the removal of the former head of the security department has not solved any problems, so I personally arranged for someone to come over and take charge of this part, brother...... Any questions?"
The man in the suit immediately laughed awkwardly, and said to Lu Yuxin: "Of course it's no problem, since you arranged it, it's fine......" Speaking of this, the man changed his words and asked: "Replace the head of a department, this matter should be decided by the board of directors, right?"
Lu Yuxin said without humility or arrogance: "If you arrange for a person to intern in a certain position, do you also have to pass the board of directors? Everyone is very busy, so there is no need to be so troublesome, right? It's not too late to hold a colleague meeting when the appointment is officially made, isn't it? I suddenly feel that a disobedient deputy minister is dispensable, should I withdraw it? Brother...... What do you think?"
Cao Youwei, who was standing on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the man, Xiaoru glanced at me with encouraging eyes, and signaled me not to talk more.
The man listened to Lu Yuxin's words and said: "I think it's better not to withdraw for the time being, after all, the new minister is not familiar with the business, and he still needs Lao Cao's help in terms of work. ”
"Okay. Lu Yuxin said to the man: "Then listen to you, I'll give Cao Youwei another chance, there will be a meeting in the afternoon, brother, remember not to be late." ”
After speaking, Lu Yuxin took Liu Yueru and left first, when the man went out, he looked at me deeply, his eyes were cold, and I had a creepy feeling when I saw it! Later, I learned that this man's name is Lu Mingquan, and Lu Yuxin is a half-brother and sister, when Lu Dezhong handed over the company to his illegitimate daughter before he died, many people were unhappy for Lu Mingquan, but Lu Mingquan himself accepted it calmly, and said to the outside world that he would assist Lu Yuxin well and manage the family business. Lu Mingquan's performance in front of everyone is very good, coupled with Lu Yuxin's recent drastic replacement in the company, many shareholders have been dissatisfied, so their good impression of Lu Mingquan is increasing.
On the contrary, Lu Mingquan's popularity among the major shareholders is getting higher and higher, and Lu Yuxin's position is in jeopardy.
When I got home in the evening, I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room and woke up again with a blanket, and I smelled the smell of food wafting from the kitchen for the first time.
Lin Yifei came out of the kitchen with an apron, saw me open her eyes, and said with a smile: "I came back and saw you lying on the sofa asleep, so I took a blanket to help you cover it, you haven't eaten dinner yet, do you want to eat some together?"
