Chapter 11: Brothers in Distress
That.
The sun was so strong that I was sweating while sitting in a car with the air conditioner on.
Dong Zhengxiang sat in the car in a trance, and he watched the cars pass by one after another.
A girl holding an umbrella, a girl holding milk tea, a boy playing with a mobile phone with his head down, and a stay-at-home mother pushing a stroller......
It was as if he was out of the world at this moment, and time turned pale.
The phone is ringing.
It rang every three seconds, and if nothing else, the group should have exploded.
The old employees of the company were talking to themselves frantically, his brows were wrinkled like the word "eight", and there was an indescribable bitter taste in his throat.
Minutes and seconds passed.
It seemed like ten minutes, and it seemed like half an hour.
Finally, the sound of the phone slowly disappeared, everything calmed down, and the sky slowly darkened.
The whole world fell into twilight.
……
Smack.
As it was getting dark, Dong Zhengxiang picked up the lighter and lit the last cigarette, and his eyes were full of indescribable emotions.
The messages in the mobile phone exposed the hearts of the people extremely naked at this moment.
The group chat of the six people argued with each other extremely fiercely, and there were nearly a thousand unread messages, and it was difficult to squeeze out the mind to read them one by one.
As the first person leaves the group, a second person leaves the group.
Almost everyone sent him long messages in private chats.
There were 23 missed calls, each from three people.
Xu Hong: "Brother Dong, I know that you are having a hard time now, and I also respect your decision, now that the economy is in a recession, everyone is not happy!"
"I don't know if this is your idea or Brother Jie's decision, but to be honest, I'm a little sad, everyone who is going to leave has already left, and I can't afford to stay, and I don't know where to go!"
"If you open your mouth, you can not pay your salary for the past few months, at least I can not pay it first. ”
"Maybe we can try, Internet transformation? Or try to make a short video column to attract traffic?"
"You can also put some thought into making a short video account first. ”
"There are a lot of ways, you don't listen to the phone like this now, and you don't come out to say a word, everyone is in a bad state. ”
“……”
Liu Zhiming: "Boss, Xu Hong proposed that we retire the office, and everyone go home to work to cancel the basic salary or default for two months, I can't do it, it's not that I'm not kind, my wife just gave birth, and the milk powder money is not enough now." ”
"There is no such thing as an endless feast, come on!"
"If you need it someday, just call me!"
Feng Shaoguang: "There is a quarrel in the group, hurry up and explain!"
"What about people?"
"They said that no one answered your phone, so you won't want to open it, right?"
"Big brother, say something!"
"Lao Cao has withdrawn from the group, if you don't come out again, the people will really disperse. ”
"Come on, I'll see you soon! I won't worry about you. ”
Dong Zhengxiang's expression was solemn and his eyes were a little vicissitudes, so he rubbed his temples, threw the last cigarette out of the car window, and drove back towards the area where the office was located.
When I went downstairs, I found that there was still a light on in the office on the third floor.
He stood downstairs, and for a moment he couldn't muster up the courage to take a step.
He dragged his tired body, came to the elevator door step by step, pressed the third floor, and then watched the floor by layer go up.
I can't help but think of seven or eight years ago, when I worked silently with Chen Guanjie all the way.
From two people in a cheap rental house, to three people.
In the end, a new office was rented, and new members began to be recruited, and everyone quarreled and even had a cold war.
For the needs of customers and design ideas, late night overtime.
Let's go downstairs to the night food stall to eat barbecue, drink beer and brag together......
He knew that if he didn't open his mouth, even if he continued to get the basic salary, there would still be people who were willing to stay and persevere.
Ding-dong.
The elevator door opened, and he glanced up in the direction of the rented office, the dim lonely back.
It is Xu Hong, who is often joked about by them, and has white hair at the age of thirty wearing glasses.
Xu Hong looked back, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Dong, you came just in time, you see that I have written a new plan." ”
"Let's attract traffic from online and combine offline and online. ”
"I've studied it all, promoted this home decoration on Douyin, gave them a little work, and made a self-media by myself. ”
"Also, the problem of convenient salary has also been solved. ”
"Directly cancel the basic salary, raise the commission for receiving orders, and relax the authority into everyone's hands. ”
"To put it simply, if I can get the order, let's do it together, I'll take half of it, and the company will take half. If you have money to earn together, you don't have to pay me a salary if you don't have money. ”
"I made this suggestion to them, and Brother Jie agreed, he said that you are going to quit everyone, and you two go it alone. ”
"My thinking is nothing more than that the basic salary is unbearable, and the office rent is expensive. ”
"These are all ...... can be dealt with"
When Xu Hong said this, he suddenly paused!
Because he found that Dong Zhengxiang was looking at him with red eyes.
He was also a little moist but forced a smile: "Don't look at me like this, I don't want to lose this job, and you see that my white hair has boiled out, and you don't have to interview other companies." ”
"Besides, there are two retreats in the group, and they shouldn't come. ”
"In addition, the office has retired, the salary reform, if it can be done, it can't be done with our various developments, even if we do a part-time job together, the problem of making money to support the family can at least be stabilized, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. ”
Xu Hong's eyes lit up and he recommended with a smile: "Also, I know you don't believe in those things, but I asked a friend to get two tickets for us, and I took the Wentian Pavilion on Changling West Street." ”
"They all say that they are in a hurry to go to the doctor, and people are forced to be in a hurry, and they want to try everything. ”
"Actually, I think I'll just try it, it's nothing. ”
"On Saturday, the two of us went on a trip to find this Master Li to calculate a hexagram to see how lucky he was, and whether he had the life to do design. ”
Finally this moment has come.
The last line of defense in Dong Zhengxiang's heart completely collapsed, and he sobbed and cried like a child, and threw himself on the wall.
He gasped for air, unable to speak.
As the saying goes, the more difficult the time, the more you can see which are true friends.
Not knowing anything, he suddenly felt as if everything was worth it.
This life is not in vain.
He gritted his teeth and choked with tears in his eyes: "You say, if I sell the car, the salary will still have to be paid, otherwise I won't be able to get by." ”
Xu Hong scolded with a smile and said: "What to sell, I told you that you don't want to do it, how can the car be sold in rows." ”
"Come on, don't even think about it. ”
"Maybe it's shit luck, I heard that the fortune teller has something, and several artists he has instructed are popular. ”
"Now a ticket is sold for more than two hundred, and you can't buy it without ordering a door!"
"This Li Da is really awesome!"
