"I really didn't expect that Wu Xiaoqi, who is the most unenlightened and the most stupid, has also learned to calculate people's hearts. ”

I considered it sincerely, but I only got Chen Yifen's disdainful eyes and outrageously wrong evaluation. His way of expressing it quickly reminded me of Elizabeth mentioned by Bai Muyan. I can't help but sigh, this woman is really unusual, the person who created her has been dead for two hundred years, but her prejudice is still so vivid, and more or less, living in everyone at the moment, this phenomenon, I don't know whether to call it literary charm or human stubbornness.

I lifted my chest, looked at the other side with my eyes, and said very softly: "Chen Yifen, it's prejudice that makes you not see my kindness." ”

Chen Yifen's right index finger resting next to the coffee cup trembled slightly, and I glanced down at it, more convinced that my intuition was not wrong.

Chen Yifen is watching out for me just as I am on guard against him.

If we consider it from the perspective of fairness and justice, since we are wary of each other, then we are naturally not at fault.

It seems that today's conversation can only end there.

I smiled with a little regret: "Chen Yifen, you don't have to feel embarrassed. Whether you say it or not, we are all friends, there is no doubt about that. Because we're friends, I'm not in a position to ask you to tell the truth. After all, this is a very bad world, especially for the little people who are not easy to do. ”

I don't like to say alarmist things, all of the above, which sounds dangerous, is actually dangerous. Because the bad of this world is bad in its beauty, it always needs strong material assets to support, and the little people are always some people who will live every day like beggars begging for life.

With such a group of people, it is already very hard to live, what qualifications do you have to ask them to live a rich and auspicious life?

I gritted my teeth and said in a low voice: "Although it will be a little shameful to take the initiative to admit it, this poor self-esteem can't change our fate as little people after all." Chen Yifen, I understand you, I don't ask who you are, and I don't ask if you have used me, I just want to know one thing, are you still a little person?"

Chen looked at me in a daze, and looked at me for about half a minute, this man with not handsome facial features and handsome appearance, but very angular, the corners of his mouth on both sides suddenly rose up, and he was a little good-looking.

"You are so cunning," he said with a smile, "If I were really as you wanted and only answered the last question, would I still be your sincere friend?" Wu Xiaoqi, don't talk about prejudice with me, and don't make any moves to me. I'm willing to say, no one can stop me, I don't want to say, no one can do it. ”

He picked up his cup and shook it, and I followed it to see that his second cup of coffee had bottomed out.

"I want to smoke a cigarette," he removed the cup, and with his right hand he consciously took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his trouser pocket, and looked at me with sparkling eyes, "Do you mind?"

I actually mind, but I'm hiding it well.

Pointing to the no-smoking sign on the wall: "What do you think?"

He threw the cigarette and lighter on the table with a snap, and beckoned the waiter a second time to refill the third cup of coffee.

The unrelieved addiction to cigarettes made him swallow a big sip of coffee, and his spirits were not as good as when he first came, but fortunately, this malaise did not affect his eloquence.

"My dad and my mom are both top students, my uncle's genes are also good, and his daughter is even better than blue, and the year I went to his house, I happened to be admitted to a prestigious school in the United States and went abroad for further study. I'm like the bad boy who can only be mischievous in a bunch of good kids. I didn't get into a serious university, and my major was unpopular, so it was almost impossible to get a good unit. My parents have always had big hearts, and as long as I don't gnaw at old age, as long as I live happily, they don't object to me taking up any work. But my uncle couldn't accept it at all, he felt that life should be well planned, and then work hard. ”

Chen Yifen stopped and gobbled up the third cup of coffee into his stomach.

I thought he was going to get another waiter and refill the fourth cup, but he was surprised not to do so.

Glanced at the snack food at the next table: "Are you hungry?"

I was afraid that he would be a moth again, so I quickly shook my head: "You entered the company, and your status as a regular worker, your uncle used his connections to make a plan for you?"

"Not exactly. He sneered and scratched his head: "To be precise, it should be using each other." ”

"What do you mean by that?" I wondered.

Chen Yifen's eyes rolled, and the sneer turned into a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "My uncle was the vice president at the time, and the person he could find to help was naturally a person of the same level, that is, a vice president of our company at that time." This vice president is very lucky, I joined the company less than a year, the boss died suddenly due to myocardial infarction, he was ordered to become the boss. ”

I joined the company in the same year as Chen Yifen, and he didn't say anything about it back then, but I also knew it. I still remember that the vice president, who was very lucky, retired after six years in the position of president.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yifen's backer was the boss of the year, which was really shocking. I was dumbfounded, not without regret, if I had been shrewd and knew the inside story in time, maybe I could have walked the waterway of Chen Yifen and completely got rid of the identity of a temporary worker.

It's a pity, it's a shame.

Chen Yifen stared at me, with an expression of insight into my scheming, and I was stared at by this expression, so I had to laugh dryly: "And then?"

Then, with the help of his connections and support, my uncle was able to correct his position in less than half a year. ”

From this point of view, Chen Yifen should not be anyone's person, after all, with such a tough relationship network, it is too late for others to take the initiative to stammer, how can it be possible to stammer others?

I nodded, and asked simply about the question: "I can probably guess the ins and outs of the matter." It's just that why do you say that you use each other? I think this relationship seems to have been a one-sided benefit from you and your uncle from the beginning to the end. ”

"How could it be. Chen Yifen snorted, fiddling with the empty coffee cup with both hands: "That boss has a daughter, after my uncle took the throne, she graduated with a master's degree. The so-called exchange of courtesies is that my uncle did not hesitate to take care of the boss's daughter into their unit. She has more ability than me, after entering the company, her performance is very eye-catching, her ability is outstanding, and her uncle is not stingy with the right to promote, less than a year, she is already one of the youngest and most promising middle-level cadres. ”

I still lack the sharpness that a person in the workplace should have, and when I heard this stage, I simply thought that Chen Yifen just hid an indescribable frustration in his heart: "Everyone has their own lives, and it's good for you to be like this." ”

"Hehe, Wu Xiaoqi," Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "I just praised you for learning to calculate people's hearts, why are you still so stupid?"

I didn't understand very much, and looked at him suspiciously, and he finally stopped laughing: "What is the surname of our previous boss?"

"Last name...... Surname Yu. ”

"What's my wife's name?"

"Afterthoughts. As soon as I said the name, I struck a spirit: "Difficult...... Could it be that your wife is ...... You, you're ......"

Chen nodded playfully: "My wife is the only daughter of Mr. Yu, and I am Mr. Yu's son-in-law." My wife and I are married, there is love, and there is politics. But people who know us only want to believe that we are a successful political marriage. Any idea why?"

I shook my head stupidly.

"Because before my uncle retired, he not only succeeded in making Yu Yi sit in the position of vice president, but also handed over all the connections he had to her. Despite the fact that she is only 36 years old, she is now one of the most favorable candidates for the boss. Truly young and promising, the future is limitless. ”
