Chapter 18: Self-defeating
"Wait a minute, how can there be so many problems with the imaging program. Early in the morning, Liu Shang entered the office on the phone, which attracted the sideways glances of all the employees, Lin Nan looked at Liu Shang with a sharp mouth After closing the office door, he grabbed Xiaoxiao's chair armrest.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know, our company is in trouble. Lin Nan looked like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"What's wrong. Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Nan's expression and thought she was joking.
"I heard that at the exhibition, there were nearly 20 businesses in charge of advertising in our company that were playing promotional advertisements, and suddenly there was an indecent picture on the screen for five minutes."
"What! How can this be ......" Xiaoxiao's face darkened, she understood that this kind of broadcast accident for an advertising company is undoubtedly stepping on the signboard of her own house with her own feet, "Could it be that the playback program has been implanted with a virus, our company has contracted business for so many years, and this kind of thing has never happened." Xiaoxiao's eyes seemed to see the little white rabbit of the big bad wolf.
"I don't know why, I know these ......" Lin Nan turned his chair with a smile, "It is estimated that Director Liu and the public relations department have been busy these days"
ended the conversation, Lin Nan didn't care what to do, but Xiaoxiao fell into Lin Daiyu's mentality. If the accident is found to have nothing to do with the company, it is fine, but if nothing can be found, or it is found that it is indeed caused by the company's procedures. The more than 20 merchants are not allowed to come over to lift the roof of the company, the key is that there are nearly six merchants at the exhibition are Xiaoxiao's docking, she is really afraid that one day there will be six or seven strong men standing at the door of the company with sticks, shouting: "Where is Fan Xiaoxiao!".
The more Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more scared she became, and just when she wanted to ask Lin Nan if she had specific information about the twenty merchants, she saw Su Mengxia coming over with a cup of latte swaying, she leaned next to Xiaoxiao, "How about it, Xiaoxiao, have you figured out which school to apply for an MBA?" ”
Xiaoxiao coughed and stared at the computer: "Not yet, I've been busy these days, and I haven't had time to choose yet." ”
"Oh, then you and I should apply for the same training institution. Mengxia continued to drink coffee in a dignified manner.
As soon as Mengxia said this, Xiaoxiao didn't know how to reply to her for a while, and at this time, Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to come and call her away.
"Xiaoxiao! Director Liu called you. Someone in the distance was shouting to herself, thank God, Xiaoxiao secretly rejoiced in her heart, "I'll go over first." Xiaoxiao said to Mengxia, got up and followed the sound. When Xiaoxiao didn't dare to slack off and walked into Director Liu's office, she found that he was reviewing the report and didn't want to talk to her. Xiaoxiao stood there embarrassed, watching Liu Shang's correction report one by one.
"I heard that you are going to take the MBA exam, right?" asked Liu Shang without raising his head.
"Who are you listening to? Xiaoxiao was very surprised, how could Director Liu know about this.
"You don't have to know who said that, you just have to tell me if it's true. Liu Shang finally raised his head.
"Well, that's right. At this time, it was Xiaoxiao's turn to bow her head.
"Say, which training institution do you want to apply for, and how much is the training fee. ”
"I ......" Xiaoxiao really regretted coming to Director Liu's office so quickly.
"Don't think I don't know, Xiaoxiao, you can't afford to pay for any training institution in Beijing......" Liu Shang stood up, walked to the glass door, looked out, and turned his head to Fan Xiaoxiao and said: "Let's make a deal, you will go back and choose a training institution that you think is suitable, and I will pay all the tuition fees." ”
"No, Director, you ......" Xiaoxiao panicked, she didn't expect Director Liu to make such a decision.
"I haven't finished talking yet, this debt will be repaid after you finish your studies, but I'm not in a hurry, you can repay it in any way, you can pay it back in months, you can pay it back in years, whatever you want. Liu Shang sat back in his seat and took a new report and looked at it. This sudden gift made Xiaoxiao feel as if she was dreaming, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, she just had to give up the MBA exam yesterday because of the problem of tuition fees, and today Director Liu said that she wanted to donate herself, she really didn't know what kind of medicine Director Liu was selling in the gourd.
"No need, Director, I'll ......" Xiaoxiao tried her best to use some euphemistic words to decline Director Liu.
"Do you want to lose an opportunity that could make you proud for a lifetime because of money? Liu Shang looked at Fan Xiaoxiao seriously again. "There are many dreams worth pursuing in this life, and the saddest thing is to give up dreams because of money, because money is for the fulfillment of dreams, and money is worthless for dreams. ”
"However, superintendent, the tuition fee of the cheapest training institution is also 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and the book fee is 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. I still have to pay my rent every month, and with the debt I owe to you, I'm really a little overwhelmed. Xiaoxiao felt an invisible pressure rushing towards her.
"Didn't I say it, I don't care when you pay it back, you can pay it back monthly, yearly, even if you pay 100 a month. Liu Shang's tone suddenly softened. "Your task now is to go back and choose a training institution that you think is suitable, then type down all the information and show it to me, and we'll talk about the rest. ”
Xiaoxiao looked at Director Liu, who had a resolute face in front of her, and her eyes were a little moist, "Director Liu, have there been any happy or bad things in our company recently?" In fact, Xiaoxiao wanted to confirm Lin Nan's gossip, but she really couldn't think of a more tactful way to ask.
"What the hell are you trying to say, what kind of happy and bad thing. Director Liu's forehead wrinkled again, and Xiaoxiao was ready to run away, "You hurry back to print the materials for me now, and don't leave my ......."
"Deduct my year-end bonus!" Xiaoxiao had long expected Liu Shang to say this, and she jumped out of the office directly after she finished speaking.
It must have been Su Mengxia's secret, she originally wanted to humiliate me in front of Liu Shang, but she didn't expect Liu Shang to help me in turn. Xiaoxiao was quite angry with Su Mengxia at first, but this time she became a little complacent.
Money is in the service of achieving dreams, and money is worthless to dreams.
Liu Shang's words lingered in Xiaoxiao's mind until he got off work in the evening.
Squeezed into the mixed bus at night, Xiaoxiao observed the faces of the people in the subway, some of them were office workers like herself, some of them were migrant workers who had just come out of the construction site to drink, and some of them were hot mothers who had just given birth. They are all living people in this city who are running for a living, regardless of gender, young and old, regardless of class, they (she) are crammed into this iron box, and continue to fight for tomorrow's life.
However, it seems that they (she) are not so lucky, they have a girlfriend who is about to get married, a best-selling author, and a good boss who helps them.
"Mr. He Dudong, how do you feel about your stepping down from the literary world and entering the entertainment industry this time? ”
Xiaoxiao heard He Dudong's name in a haze, and she followed the voice to find it, which turned out to be a variety show broadcast on a wall-mounted TV in the carriage. There are only two people in the show, He Dudong is sitting on the left, and the host is sitting with a microphone on the right, Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, squeezed to a place close to the wall-mounted TV, and listened carefully to the conversation in the show. When the host asked about He Dudong's emotional problems, Xiaoxiao felt extremely nervous, and she stared intently at He Dudong on the TV.
"I don't have a girlfriend yet, but I already have someone I like. ”
"Who is that girl, is she also a person in the circle? The host's eyes exuded gossip.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I can't reveal this yet. Twilight smiled heartily.
Xiaoxiao could see that Twilight's smile was not from the heart, but a forced smirk, she was obsessed with watching He Dudong on TV, she couldn't believe it, the little friend who helped her move some time ago was about to become a star so soon. In the twilight of winter, he may earn more money in a day than he earns in a year, and the celebrities he interacts with may not be in contact with her in her life, and the gap between the two people is like the Mariana Trench, getting bigger and bigger.
Xiaoxiao, who stepped off the bus, felt a little cool, she put her hand in her pocket, and looked at the people who were hurrying home like her. She suddenly felt that the twilight that was still in front of her not long ago was as far away as in Java at this time, the twilight on TV was glamorous, and Xiaoxiao crowded in the subway was ordinary, this is probably the so-called fate.
It seems that what the girl in the yellow sweatshirt said is true, so that she may not be able to see He Dudong again in the future, I knew that I would directly ask for a few more signatures of Dusk Winter last time. After arriving home, Xiaoxiao took off her shoes and kicked them aside with regret, and found that Qiuzi had not returned home, but there was an A4 paper on the table, Xiaoxiao walked over and picked it up, and it was Qiuzi's handwriting.
Xiaoxiao, I'm going to stay with Yubo tonight, and the day after tomorrow is Saturday, he will take me to see his parents, although I don't know if his parents will agree, but at least this is the first step for Yubo to be our happiness, and I believe we will succeed. I'll keep you sharing any good news, and I wish you a happy weekend and I'll be back to bring you something delicious!
After reading it, Xiaoxiao straightened up and planted herself on the sofa, to be honest, she sometimes hopes that someone can be by her side to ask for warmth, and she can serve herself a bowl of hot jujube porridge after work, and she also wants to have a species called "boyfriend". But what makes her strange is that every time she thinks about it, two men will appear in her mind, one is He Dudong and the other is Director Liu, but she knows that both of them are male gods that she can't climb, just like her mother said, if Xiaoxiao really marries a rich and handsome man in this life, it can only be green smoke on the ancestral grave.
