In the next few days, Lin Kaiwen was busy reporting and summarizing the business of Yiwu Branch with the company, and by the way, he settled the salary and bonus of Yiwu Branch all year round. Some people say that they would rather be an entrepreneur than a working dog. In the chat between the head office and colleagues, everyone is complaining that the company's salary has not moved for thousands of years, and the bonus is getting less and less.

In fact, this is a normal portrayal of a white-collar career, including Kevin Lin himself, in the past few years in the company, Kevin Lin has completely changed from a slow-burning molecule who can only pretend to be cool and indifferent to a worldly workplace fritter with a hypocritical face. There is no way, he has to become tacky and become like everyone else in order to blend in with the masses and do a good job in mass relations. As for some unrealistic thoughts in your heart, you must leave them behind, preferably from the clouds.

Maybe you occasionally meet a specific person on a specific occasion and think of the so-called ideals, ideal career ambitions, and ideal love visions when you were studying and just entering the society. At this moment, you may feel lost and sad, but don't fall in and can't get out, you must get out as soon as possible, otherwise you will think of how wonderful the previous college days were, you will become less and less motivated, more and more lost, as everyone knows, the beauty of the school days comes from the hard work and ardent expectations of your parents. Now that you are in this society, there are some responsibilities that you must bear, and there are some people that you must honor, so when you are lost, when you are angry, you must quickly get yourself out of the haze, regain your confidence, and face the people and things you have to face every day, no matter how complicated, you must go.

In Mr. Liao's office, at the beginning, Mr. Liao's beautiful words filled Lin Kaiwen's ears, and the first few sentences were a little fluttering, but he felt a little resistant when he heard too much, but Lin Kaiwen had already practiced the skill of duplicity, and the smile and humility on his face were as always, and he occasionally complimented the boss. As for compliments, he doesn't think that he is all fake, half and half, because Liao can always achieve this position is indeed relying on his own bit by bit accumulation, step by step, they are the second generation of reform and opening up, Shenzhen in the 90s, the environment is definitely not as good as it is now, people's ideas are not as smart as now, and the company's business platform is also pitiful, so at that time they tried all kinds of ways to contact customers and find suppliers, it is not easy to get a customer, wait day and night, and it is not easy to find a factory that trusts each other, and it accumulates over time。 Of course, half of Kevin Lin's hypocritical compliments are the duplicity skills he has now practiced, which is definitely much more profound than that of the employees.

"Kevin, I know that you are working very hard in Yiwu, and you are doing a very good job, I will give you a salary increase and reward as appropriate, but you must bring the team over there well, especially those newcomers, you have to use your patience as a salesman to teach them and tolerate them. I understand that your performance this year is not as good as last year, after all, the international economic situation this year is not good, and the trade situation is not very good, in fact, the business of our head office has also declined this year. It's okay, brace yourself and get ready for a turnaround next year. ”

Mr. Liao said everything in one breath, and Lin Kaiwen swallowed back the words that he wanted to apply to return to the head office. Alas---- every time he does this, he doesn't let you speak, because he knows that our branch will definitely make demands and complain as soon as he opens his mouth. Okay, let's continue to keep silent, it seems that it is not appropriate to talk about this topic today, otherwise wouldn't that be pouring cold water on Mr. Liao's passionate encouragement just now? Kevin Lin didn't want a year's hard work in exchange for such a few beautiful words.

"Mr. Liao, thank you for your encouragement and instructions, I will definitely sum up the lessons and lessons, learn more from Mr. Liao, and strive to regroup my performance next year. ”

"Okay, we need your courage and determination, next year we will increase the investment in hardware and software on your branch, and may recruit a group of fresh graduates to be sent to you in July and August next year, and you will have to worry more about it then." Mr. Liao walked over and patted Kevin Lin on the shoulder, and the eyes in his glasses were very firm. Looking at such a firm look, Kevin Lin couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and just as he was about to say something, he was ordered to be evicted:

"Okay, let's do this first, you go talk to your colleagues first, and we'll talk at the company party in the evening. ”

"Well, okay, there are a few documents that you still need to sign, I will get them ready first and give you approval as soon as possible. ”

"Well, go ahead, I'll go out and meet a client first. ”

Coming out of Mr. Liao's office, Lin Kaiwen found that he didn't seem to say a few words, and he listened to half nonsense and half hope in half an hour, and the nonsense was the so-called beautiful words, hoping that the company would increase investment, raise salaries and bonuses. However, Kevin Lin knows very well in his heart that I can only listen to nonsense for any unfulfilled promises, so as not to frustrate myself.

"Kevin, what are you doing in a daze?" Lao Zhang gently patted Lin Kaiwen's shoulder from behind, "Did Mr. Liao draw you another big pie?" Lao Zhang's eyes showed a sense of energy, as if he was confident that he had guessed correctly. Well, I'll fulfill you.

"Yes, Mr. Liao said that he would increase the investment in hardware and software for our branch, and the batch of junk computers could be thrown away next year. ”

"Hehe--- congratulations! Your side is really doing well, I heard that the average performance rate of your side is higher than that of some of our teams. ”

"How is that possible, we have a small team over there, and we don't receive many orders, how can we compare with these veterans of the head office, I heard that your team performance is the highest, and you have to pass on more experience to me." ”

"Hey---- be modest, be modest, go, I'll invite you to dinner. ”

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I was stopped by a voice: "Kevin." Lin Kaiwen followed the prestige, Shu Jing was wearing a long skirt floating on the overpass next to the building, she seemed to have cut her hair and became intellectual, with a bright smile on her thin and white face, she walked down the steps happily in the sun, and walked towards Lin Kaiwen, that pace, that figure suddenly reminded him of Sakura again. This is the second time we have met, but Kevin Lin feels that he has known her for a long, long time, maybe because of her similar temperament to Sakura, Kevin Lin stared at me for a few seconds, and it was Lao Zhang who woke me up.

"Alas, Kevin, why don't you say yes?"

"Hi, Shu Jing. What are you doing here. ”

"Ah, is she Shu Jing?" It seems that Lao Zhang also knows Shu Jing's name.

"What, you know her?"

"Hear from James!"

"Shu Jing, let me introduce, this is my colleague Zhang Mingyuan. Lao Zhang is actually not old, only 2 years older than Kevin Lin, married, but when he sees a beautiful woman, he still can't help but snort, stretches out his hand to shake hands, Shu Jing awkwardly turns his hand back, and said shyly: "Hello!" Lin Kaiwen was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Why are you here at this time, is your company nearby?"

"Yes, my company is on Renmin South Road, next to the traffic light intersection of the golden building. ”

"Oh, haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

"How can you please it? I'm the host, let's go, I'll be the host and invite you both. Lao Zhang's enthusiasm made it difficult for us to push back, and Kevin Lin saw a trace of loss on Shu Jing's face.

"Oh, then I won't go, I'll have to go back to the company in a while, you guys go!"

"What's the matter, beauty, you're here for Kevin, or I won't bother you both, and I'll invite you both next time. Lao Zhang's retreat made Lin Kaiwen embarrassed, so he had to come out to play a round, "Shu Jing, Lao Zhang is the senior of my company, I just came to that meeting, he took care of me very much, let's go together, it won't take long to have a meal, soon, I'll send you back to the company in a while." Shu Jing smiled and nodded.

At the dinner table, Lao Zhang still talked endlessly to Lin Kaiwen about the situation of the head office, and complained to Mr. Liao, asking Lin Kaiwen to be mentally prepared and deal with it carefully. Indeed, this is the reason why Lin Kaiwen and Lao Zhang came out to eat, he must understand a little about the company's current situation through Lao Zhang and James, these old colleagues at the time, in case he can take countermeasures, after all, the current international trade situation is not very good, in case the Yiwu branch is withdrawn, what else can he do when he goes back to the head office?

Listening to James say that the leader of a team in the head office jumped to another large company, and now there is a shortage of team leaders, Lin Kaiwen wanted to apply while Mr. Liao was talking to him, but he still appeared silently. Now it's time to inquire more about the news, not so much to inquire, but actually to listen, because Lao Zhang has always known everything about Lin Kaiwen, whether it is true or false or adding fuel and vinegar, he can always spy on some of the real news. However, although he was willing to listen to this, seeing Shu Jing eating quietly without saying a word, Kevin Lin's attention was completely attracted to her. I had to keep picking up vegetables for her, and then my eyes met, but there was no substantive communication, because Lao Zhang's eloquence was really great, and his speaking movements were also very good, whenever he was distracted, Lao Zhang would always pat Lin Kaiwen on the shoulder or arm, and then continue to spit on him, he was used to this.

After dinner, Lao Zhang finally went back to the office, and Lin Kaiwen happened to be fine in the afternoon, so he sent Shu Jing back to the office first. However, he had thought about what he said to Shu Jing just now, but he didn't know how to say it when they were alone. had to ask her intermittently about work, maybe Shu Jing noticed his embarrassment, and she spoke first.

"Kevin, actually we were all drunk that night, and I know you can't drink, so ---- so we shouldn't have had anything happen that night. Don't worry too much about it. I won't keep pestering you either. Listening to what Shu Jing said, Kevin Lin became even more embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Shu Jing, it's me who is not good! ”

"Don't say anything, I know, you're treating me as your Sakura, do you know why I changed this hairstyle?" Kevin Lin roughly guessed the reason, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just saw this hairstyle when I went to wash my hair with Sister Meiling that day, and I suddenly wanted to change it. In fact, Kevin Lin knew that she must have seen a photo of Sakurako's same hairstyle in her wallet.

"Oh, yes? It's pretty good-looking, like Gigi Leung. In fact, Kevin Lin almost said the name Sakura.

"Thanks, okay, I'm going back to the company, see you next time!"

"Well, goodbye!" Looking at Shu Jing's back gradually moving away, Kevin Lin remembered the back of Sakura at the train station two years ago when he grabbed his luggage and walked into the station, that time, he shouted in the wind: "Sakura, you must wait for me and remember our agreement." And this time, Kevin Lin almost shouted Shu Jing's name again, but he still didn't shout after all, forget it, I'm going to leave in a few days, why bother with it?

Silence, yes, Kevin Lin has been accustomed to silence in the past two years, he always talks very little and has few activities outside of work, except for a few members of the team, Kevin Lin basically doesn't know any other girls. He didn't know if silence was golden, but whenever he had something unspeakable to say, he would reflexively suddenly turn to silence. Kevin Lin didn't know how long he would have to be silent, and at work, he hadn't figured out the future direction of the company, so he chose to be silent again this time.

For Shu Jing, Lin Kaiwen didn't figure out whether he saw her as a cherry blossom or the real Shu Jing, he didn't believe that he would have the idea of staying together after meeting twice, because every time he had such an idea before, he would be ruthlessly shattered by reality soon after, and he was a good doctor for a long time, and now Lin Kaiwen is not willing to believe in the so-called love at first sight, in his emotional dictionary, it is a word that does not exist, a reality.

Silence is a way of life that Kevin Lin chooses to obtain comfort and plainness, and he is used to living alone, and he is no longer used to having another person enter his life. Even if the heart is touched by chance, it will continue to remain silent after calming down.
