Chapter 155: Femininity (2-in-1 Chapter)
When she was nine years old, an accident killed Josie's parents, and the two siblings were sent to an orphanage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When she was ten years old, Josie was adopted by a middle-aged single woman who traveled to China, and since then she has traveled to the other side of the ocean, thousands of miles away from her only blood relative.
At the age of ten, for a little girl who was adopted because of her intelligence, she already has a certain ability to remember and understand.
After so many years, many fragmentary pictures about childhood memories may eventually become blurry in her memory, so that she can never get back the impression, but the little boy who would call her "sister" in her dreams has been engraved in her heart with the passage of time.
She has never forgotten that in that country on the other side of the ocean, there is a relative who is connected to her by blood.
The little boy who was only a few years old back then, grabbing the corner of her clothes and crying and shouting "Sister don't go", has been echoing in her mind, and has become the most precious memory in her heart and the most eager to get back.
So, after graduating from college and having a certain financial ability, she contacted several domestic private detectives through some channels and asked them to help find her brother's whereabouts.
It's just that the results are not satisfactory, and a few years have passed, but no specific news has been found.
First, because the time is too long, and Josie's memory of before the age of ten is too vague, the only information that can be provided is the name of his brother, the name of a city, and even the name of the orphanage, I can't remember the full name.
Twenty years is enough time to turn a city upside down, to turn low-rise houses into towering high-rise buildings, and to find a person in a city of millions of people, just by name, the difficulty can be imagined.
The second is that the private detectives Josie is looking for are not reliable, and every time they use some so-called clues to defraud Josie of money, and finally find it, not only did they not find it, but even they disappeared and disappeared, and there was no news.
Josie is a very rational person, and the few times she has been cheated has been planted on the private detectives she is looking for.
Because she cared too much, when the other party took some so-called clues and asked her for activity funds, even if she was suspicious, she couldn't go to the specific verification, so she had to hold a little bit of luck in her heart, hoping that this time she met someone who really had the ability.
Once, twice......
Josie wouldn't be stupid enough to be fooled three times, and she didn't want to continue to waste time and money, and she didn't want to pin her hopes entirely on some private investigators who didn't know the roots.
She realized that if she continued like this, even if she took more time, it would not necessarily lead to results.
So, after some consideration, she finally chose to quit her high-paying job in the United States and return to China to find someone by herself, just to realize her dream.
It's just that in the past few years, in order to repay her adoptive mother's kindness and pay for the activities of private detectives, she has spent a lot of money, and she doesn't have much savings.
She also knew that finding someone might not be an overnight thing, and it would not work to sit on the empty side, so she took the initiative to call Gu Heng to apply for a job.
As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind!
With money, it is not difficult to find some private investigators who can help find out the news.
This time, she was not cheated, or in other words, when she followed up on the progress of the matter in time, and conducted field inspections and verifications from time to time, if she wanted to pit her, she also needed some skills.
In this way, reliable clues appeared little by little.
In the past few months, she has spent her time after work and on weekends looking for her brother, and finally, the hard work paid off, just two days ago, she found it.
It's just that when she saw someone, she almost collapsed on the spot!
She turned out to be the younger brother found in the mental hospital, which almost made the iron lady in the eyes of outsiders cry on the spot, and she almost lost control of her emotions.
How many times has she fantasized about the scene of her sister and brother reuniting, thinking about whether the cute little boy in her memory has grown into a majestic man, whether he has already started a family and has his own family and career.
However, how beautiful the ideal is, how cruel the reality is, and the fact that his younger brother is admitted to a mental hospital makes Josie unable to calm down in his heart.
She thought that when she was adopted, her younger brother would also be adopted by other families, so as to form a new family and live a normal life.
However, she never expected that her brother's life was not as good as she imagined, and the living environment was a ward with only pungent anti-inflammatory water, and the people she dealt with were a group of doctors in white coats, and a group of aliens who were avoided by the world.
She began to blame herself, guilty, and felt that her brother, who was fine when they were separated, was now mentally ill, and it was largely her responsibility, and if she didn't leave her adoptive mother, even if she grew up in an orphanage with her brother, the situation might be completely different.
After self-blame and guilt, she locked herself in her room for half a day and made another big decision, not to return to the United States, but to stay and take care of her brother.
In her original plan, she planned to find her younger brother and be satisfied after seeing him grow up and have a complete family. Then give his younger brother a certain amount of financial support, so that the other party will have fewer bumps in the road of life in the future, and this trip back to China will basically be considered a success.
This is also the reason why she did not give an answer when Gu Heng asked her if she had considered staying in China for development on the plane of the trip to Shanghai.
In her heart, 20 years of life in the United States has made her accustomed to the life of eating milk and bread for breakfast, and her lifestyle and way of thinking are also closer to the United States, which is where she is more familiar......
After listening quietly to Josie's somewhat bumpy life experience, Gu Heng sighed.
It stands to reason that Josie made the decision to stay in China, and he should be glad that this temporarily indispensable management talent will not suddenly hand in his resignation one day and pack his bags and go back to the United States.
But Josie's somewhat sad and touching experience made him not happy, and he was a little more understanding and tolerant of this cold and arrogant Iron Lady.
Xiao Xiao moved from Hunan City to Zhejiang Province for a period of time, not to mention a ten-year-old girl, suddenly went to a strange country, facing people of different colors and languages, how much panic and anxiety should be in her heart.
Gu Heng guessed that most of Josie's character was also cultivated at that time? Because he was afraid of being bullied, he could only choose to wrap himself in a thick layer of camouflage as a protective shell, and over time, camouflage became instinct and a part of her truth.
Perhaps, this woman has more things and secrets hidden in her heart, and when she doesn't want to open up to others, no one can spy on her truest side.
Gu Heng was curious, but he didn't spy, everyone has their own privacy, and snooping casually is not a polite behavior.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Heng tentatively asked, "Josey, forgive me for asking, you are really sure that the one you found is your brother?
Josie shook his head lightly and said, "My brother has a scar on his forehead, which he fell when he was a child, and there are two spins on the top of his head, which I have talked to a private investigator about, so, I confirm it!"
"Then you didn't think about taking him to the United States for treatment? After all, in many fields of medicine, the United States should be much better than the domestic one, right?"
When he asked this question, Gu Heng admitted that he was a little selfish, and he wanted to confirm whether Josie had really decided to stay in China.
A talent who can do all of his things, he is willing to spend time and energy to help her deal with some personal matters, such as Josie mentioned today, asking him to help find a house, find a psychiatrist and so on.
But if it is a woman who only regards the company as a temporary place to stay, he may not refuse out of morality, but he will never be bothered.
There is no one in this world who is a saint, selfless dedication without asking for anything in return, Gu Heng asked himself if he could do it, there was a difference between intimacy and intimacy, this is human nature.
"No, my brother's disease can't be treated entirely by technology, and the doctor also said that his condition is not particularly serious, and the most appropriate way is to recuperate slowly. When I went abroad, facing a group of people of different colors and languages, I was afraid that it would not be conducive to his condition. ”
Gu Heng handed over the already peeled apple in his hand, and asked casually, "Don't you still have an adoptive mother abroad?"
Josie silently took the apple, but did not eat it, but suddenly turned her head to look out the window, and after a few seconds, she said leisurely: "She passed away last year, so in this world, my brother is my only relative, and I can't leave him at this time." ”
If there are people in this world who can't lie, Gu Heng definitely doesn't believe it, but if he has to pick someone who he thinks is the least likely to lie, then he recommends Josie first.
This woman, who exudes pride from the inside out, even in this case, is most likely disdainful of using lies in exchange for help and sympathy.
In fact, since beating Josie into the company, Gu Heng has also mentioned that he asked the other party to come to him when he needs help, but Josie has never opened his mouth.
Perhaps, in a sense, Josie really regarded him as a private friend, so she would say so much to him and ask him for help.
Rushing to this recognition, as well as the importance of Josie's ability, Gu Heng nodded and said, "Okay, I will help you contact a suitable residence and hospital as soon as possible during your hospitalization, in addition, do you want to find a long-term nanny?"
Josie stared at Gu Heng for a few moments, nodded, and said today's second thank you!
This afternoon, for the first time, the two chatted for a long time on the occasion of work, and it was some more personal topics.
Until Gu Heng left, Josie didn't eat the apple Gu Heng peeled for her, just looked out the window and fell into a long contemplation.
…………
Because of Josie's hospitalization, the burden of Hengchuang Technology once again fell on Gu Heng, and in addition to the need to help Josie implement a good place to live and a hospital that is good at neurology, Gu Heng's original trip to Zhejiang Province had to be temporarily canceled.
The next day, Hengchuang Technology...
After nine o'clock in the morning, the company's employees looked at the empty vice president's office one by one, and in private, their eyes had begun to "sigh" for signal transmission.
In their impression, Josie is an extremely punctual person, basically arriving at the company at about 8:40 every day, and the deviation from before and after basically does not exceed ten minutes.
But today, Josie was late, and for many people, this was definitely the first time in the world.
It wasn't until they saw Gu Heng, who hadn't come to Hengchuang Technology for several days to inspect, walk into the company, some people were even more curious, and even began to make up for it on their own, and a thought flashed subconsciously: Could it be that the exterminator was too opened by Mr. Gu?
This is not untargeted, the last time Josie opened people, even Gu Heng's intercession did not change this decision, and some employees of the company knew a little bit about it.
Think about it from another perspective, a self-made boss has always been arbitrary and authoritative, and will tolerate his subordinates challenging his status and authority?
In the company, working against the boss, how many can have a good end?
But if Josie is really expelled, some people will inevitably feel a little sorry for her.
Especially the members of the girl group in the finance department, they usually regard Josie as an idol, and even her more conservative style of dressing can be regarded by them as synonymous with the forefront of fashion, and they imitate it intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to build themselves into another strong woman.
Gu Heng didn't know everyone's thoughts, but the vice president who was usually in charge of the company's affairs was injured and hospitalized, so he should tell everyone about it.
In addition, he also has some ideas to really cultivate Josie, and at the same time bind and cage.
A figure who is regarded as the future CEO of the company, whether he can oversee a more complex and huge company structure in the future is not to say for the time being, what really worries Gu Heng is Josie's character.
Too cold, too arrogant, this kind of personality may not have much problem in dealing with internal affairs, but if it is faced with external communication, it is not very suitable.
Cultivate their hearts and tie their belonging to the company!
It seems to be two things, but in fact, it is going on simultaneously.
After yesterday's incident, Gu Heng believes that Josie's personality is not completely irreversible, but he just doesn't want to open up to outsiders, so he wraps himself too tightly.
He wants to use some of the company's employees, especially the finance department staff who admire Josie, to send some warmth and care when she is more vulnerable because of her brother's affairs, and when she is now unaccompanied and hospitalized, so as to break her heart.
Some people love money, some people are greedy for fame, and they are powerful for profit!
Harnessing and bundling different talents is largely based on their desires and visions to retain them. But it can only be retained, it is really necessary to make it agree, and even advance and retreat with the company, these alone are not enough, there are always other companies that can open a higher weight.
Therefore, something deeper is also needed to bind it, such as ideals, such as feelings!
With Josie's character, if you want to completely tie her to the company's warship, you have to start from the human relationship.
Only when she recognizes the company's prospects and has a group of colleagues who make her feel warm, she will really be reluctant to leave.
Similarly, the warmth and care of colleagues believe that they can also subtly change some of her personality, at least it will not be a cold face often, and it is difficult to see even a smile.
So, under Gu Heng's intentional organization and authorization, in the next few days, a group of employees took turns to visit Josie in the hospital.
Some of them are just going through the motions, while others are genuinely caring.
Gu Heng believes that those sincere care should be felt by Josie, who can be ruthless if people are not plants and trees?
After a few days, the effect is basically not bad, at least twice when Gu Heng went to visit the hospital, she would show some smiles on her face from time to time, and she looked much more normal than before.
In the words of some male employees of the company, it looks a little feminine!
