Chapter 21: My Guilt

Time swings in the crook of the arms of autumn and winter, and the days are forced by the cold wind to exhale the last wisps of gray-white fireworks.

My husband's work has not been satisfactory, his face is getting more and more ugly day by day, and I don't know when he started drinking heavily.

The originally empty wine cabinet at home came in handy at once, and all kinds of red and white bottles were quietly placed like works of art, becoming the main venue for husband's back and forth activities.

I watched this bottle of liquid, fermenting into a sauce-red eggplant color in my husband's body every day, paralyzing his nerves and making him shake three times, and his heart was mixed.

"Xiaolan, do you think I'm useless?!" asked me one night with my husband's eyes fluttering, full of spicy and slightly sour wine.

"No, you're capable. "I never doubted his abilities, even now.

"No! I'm a terrible person. My husband covered his head with a wry smile, and took the initiative to mention unemployment for the first time.

"Do you know why I was fired?"

"It's already in the past, forget it, there's no point in mentioning it anymore, the important thing is now. "I know this kind of thing is about his dignity, and I didn't want to mention it before because I didn't want me to know, so let's treat it as if it didn't happen, I've always thought like this.

"No, there is no past, they are right, I am an immature person, I don't know what a workplace is, what a job is!" The husband pressed the temples on both sides hard, and kept shaking his head, it seemed that the wine was coming up, and there was still half a bottle of liquor left on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Let's stop talking, let's go to bed. "Looking at his uncomfortable appearance, I really can't bear to open his scars by himself.

"You asked me to say, I've been holding back for a long time, you don't know how uncomfortable I am, I'm a man, I can't even keep my job, and I have to rely on you as a woman to support me, I really have no shame and don't know where my value is. He leaned his head on the armrest behind the sofa, closed his eyes, and told the pain and sorrow in his heart, lost in his invisible future.

"Of course you have your value, you are just momentarily disappointed, and I am sure you will get better. "I hope my comfort makes him feel better.

But he didn't seem to hear at all, completely isolating himself in his own dark world.

"No, I'm a useless person, I know you're deliberately comforting me, and I'm even more uncomfortable listening to it. In the workplace, in a world like this, I feel like a bunch of stinking shit, smelly and hard, and inflexible. "He devalued himself as worthless.

"I don't like it when you talk about yourself, you're a personality. "I directly denied him,

"You just dare to express yourself, you are straightforward, and it is his business that others don't like it. ”

"Personality can't be eaten, in fact, the leader wants to be black is also the company's money, I can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but I can't get used to it, I can't get used to it, I have to say it, my own rice bowl is in the hands of others, what qualifications do I have to care about the rights and wrongs of others. He gave the reason for his dismissal.

"Your leader hacked the company's money, isn't the company his own?" I asked, a little puzzled.

"No, he's a shareholder, 30% of the shares, and the majority shareholder is another person, who doesn't come to the company very often, and has properties in other places, and our family is just one of them. My husband sat up slightly straighter and opened his closed eyes.

"Would you like some water?" I poured him a glass of water. He took it and took a sip, his frown slowly unfurling.

"Because the majority shareholder doesn't come often, he is responsible for the management of the entire company. For a long time, because of my strong foreign trade business ability, I signed several large orders for the company, and he also valued me very much, and later promoted me to be his assistant to help him do the daily management of the company. Once a major shareholder came to the company, he also specially introduced us to each other. The major shareholders expressed their appreciation for my work ability, and some important decisions were also allowed for me to participate in and even decide, and also promised that if the company's annual performance reached 50 million, they would allocate 3% of the shares to me and enjoy the company's income in the form of dry shares. I think that since the majority shareholder is so committed, I naturally cannot live up to my expectations and work harder. Speaking of this, his face unconsciously appeared a smug and confident look for the future.

It turns out that my husband is so capable, and I don't know anything.

"Why haven't you ever heard of any of these things?" I couldn't help but ask.

"If I don't resign by the end of the year, the goal of 50 million will be reached. I was going to surprise you, but it's a pity ......" He let out a long sigh and turned his head with apologies in his eyes.

I took his hand and said softly,

"It's okay, you're already great. ”

"A week before I was fired, the leaders on our side invited me to a meal at noon. It turned out that he had always been full of complaints about the major shareholder, he thought that the current company was only because of him, and he was unwilling to accept the current situation, so he decided to set up another company and wanted to pull me over. This matter was so big that I didn't immediately agree or refuse, but I said I would think about it at the time. Within days, he purchased a batch of equipment from a factory, but the amount he applied for was three times the actual value. He stopped, took a sip of water, and continued,

"In the spirit of being responsible for the company, I went to ask him why the price is so expensive, but he still has to buy from the current supplier. He said vaguely, saying that they are all old suppliers and good quality, so the price is naturally more expensive, and he asked me not to interfere. I didn't believe him, so I re-examined the procurement consultancy and finally submitted a better plan. As a result, within a few days, I received a letter of resignation. "Only now did I understand that the ins and outs of my husband's loss of work turned out to be so complicated.

It seems that the husband sabotaged the plan he led to transfer funds, which caused an act of revenge.

The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the desire is really a difficult gully to fill. My husband is coming out now, although it seems to be a failure in the workplace, but what if he doesn't come out?

I was secretly glad that my heart was full of reverence for my husband.

"Husband, don't do this job. If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing!" I said to my husband.

"In fact, what I don't understand the most is why our major shareholders have always valued me, but they have no opinion on my dismissal. It turns out that my husband has not completely gotten out of the dilemma of thinking, and he is entangled in the so-called human feelings.

"Husband, you are just an employee to him, a shareholder is his partner, and his interests are closely related, do you think he will risk losing the community of interests in order to protect you? Also, your excellence is actually a kind of reverse reflection for others, reflecting the mediocrity of others, as a leader, a leader who does not have all the shares, a particularly capable you may not be a comfortable thing. "In order to relieve my husband, I pretended to be deep and accidental,

"Besides, if you don't explicitly agree to his plan, how does he know if you will become a stumbling block to his plan?

"You have a point, I really didn't think much of it before. My husband said that apparently he had been affected by my words, and the knot in his heart was slowly opening.

"You should have told me sooner, maybe I could have helped you. I said.

"Do you have time every day?" he said, squeezing out a little smile and looking me in the eye. I was speechless for a while, took out my mobile phone and looked at it, the reminder message came again, and there were still unwritten manuscripts waiting for me.
