April stood on the podium, stepping on 6-inch high heels, with shoulder-length neat short hair, wearing waist-cinching professional clothes, delicate and shiny makeup, she said with a smile The summary of this newcomer training, "Welcome everyone to join HAND, five years ago, I jumped here from mobile, it was HAND who gave me real enlightenment in the workplace, I am very happy to work here, and I am very happy to be colleagues with you, thank you" After saying the thunderous applause that sounded in the backstage, April walked off the podium gracefully in the applause.

Anne took the microphone from April and took the stage, "Just now this is our marketing department regional manager, cindy, who joined HAND five years ago, and is also the youngest regional manager of our marketing department, thank you for her wonderful speech!" A pair of eager eyes glowed, and he paid attention to April who had walked to the door of the training room, but at this moment April had no intention of cherishing the adoring eyes of these newcomers, she looked at her watch, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and she also made an appointment with Mr. Chen of Blu-ray Technology 30 minutes later, and this Mr. Chen has been interviewed several times, just about to kick the door, today must get the list in hand.

She stepped on high heels and walked to the office at a speed of 800 meters, ready to go back to get the contract and leave, Anne chased after her from behind, "Thank you, dear, you are still willing to take the time to come out and give me summary training, Zhang Xiaoxiao of the second department and Chen Sheng of the third department both said that they were busy with performance at the end of the month"

"It's okay, it's okay" April stopped and looked at Anne, waiting for her to continue, Anne glanced at her, and cautiously said, "I'll send the video and photos of the speech to the president's office in a while, if it's okay, I'll hang it on the group's official website in the evening."

"Okay," April patted Anne on the shoulder, "Shouldn't you HR bring this up at the next week's town hall meeting?"

Anne looked at her, thinking of the fierce competition for the position of marketing director recently, and immediately understood what she meant, she showed a knowing smile "Well, I know, I'll talk to Anna when I go back"

April saw that she understood, so she smiled, she likes to deal with smart people, don't need to point too clearly, everyone understands what's going on, so as not to spend so much effort to come to the speech, but also waste time to let them understand what they mean, she turned around and continued to walk towards the office like a fly, and then it will be too late to delay, if you are late today this list will not have to be discussed, after arriving at the office took the contract April and walked towards the elevator, the action was natural and smooth in one go, without the slightest pause, when passing by the salesman seating area, the new salesman Xiao Nan saw her and trotted over, all the way into the elevator with her, looked at her and said, "Cindy, I'm on my period, and my stomach hurts a lot, can you take a leave of absence and go back to rest." ”

April didn't turn his head to look at her, his eyes just stared at the number of floors that kept beating in the elevator, "Turn right 450 meters out of the hall downstairs, there is a pharmacy, you can go there to buy a Fenbid" Xiao Nan was stunned after hearing this, and his face turned red for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, your target performance for this month has only been completed by two-thirds, and now there are still 5 days left until the 31st, and now you still come to tell me that you have to take a leave of absence because of a menstrual cramp?"

If every woman comes to menstruation and allows herself to take leave, then there will be nothing for women in the workplace, which is why there are almost no women in the senior positions of large companies in the workplace.

When I arrived at the café, Mr. Chen had not yet arrived, April quickly walked into the bathroom, closed the door and looked, sure enough, I won the lottery today, fortunately I have sanitary napkins in my bag these days just in case, she walked to the glass mirror of the sink after cleaning up, and saw her pale face in the mirror, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, who will give you a holiday when she has menstrual cramps, in the past few years, if she is a little slack, she will not reach today's height, and those newcomers will not look at themselves with such adoring eyes.

Walked out of the bathroom and found a window position to sit down, and asked the waiter for a cup of hot water, April took out two Fenbids from the bag and swallowed the water, through the glass window to see that Mr. Chen's car had come in, she hurriedly put down the water glass, took out the makeup case to make up for the blush, make sure that she still looks ruddy and energetic, today's order is the most critical part of determining whether she can become the youngest director in the company. Thinking of this, she immediately had a professional smile on her face, stood up to greet Mr. Chen, who had already walked to the door, and her physical discomfort had long been automatically ignored by her brain, and she had completely recovered to a full-blooded combat state.

An hour later, April stood at the door of the café, sending Mr. Chen's car away with her eyes, and the document bag in her hand contained the contract she had just signed.

When Wang Ming returned home in the evening, April was cooking braised prawns in the kitchen, Wang Ming gently wrapped his hands around her slender waist from behind, and said with a smile, "Why are you interested in cooking today?"

"I got off work early today, so I went to the supermarket to buy shrimp to make for you to eat, we haven't eaten at home for a long time, right?" April looked back at Wang Ming apologetically, since she began to compete for the position of director, overtime has become commonplace, and the kitchen has not been on fire for almost 2 months.

"Let me think about it, have I forgotten what holiday it is today?" Wang Ming deliberately made a meditative appearance to tease her.

"Let's go wash our hands and get ready for dinner, I've got good news for you later" April gave him a strange look, and spoke in a coquettish tone, exactly like the kind of demon who terrified his subordinates in the office.

"Okay, wife," Wang Ming kissed her on the cheek before letting go of her and walking to the bathroom.

During the dinner, April told Wang Ming the news that he signed Mr. Chen's list today and was likely to be promoted, but to her surprise, Wang Ming fell silent, his face was a little gloomy, and he was obviously not happy for her.

"Aren't you happy for me?" asked April softly with a faint disappointment in her heart.

"You know that after you are promoted, it means that you will spend more time at work, and less time will be allocated to your family than now, right?" Wang Ming sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said.

"But this is my dream, you know how much I have paid for today, it is about to come true, I have no reason to give up" April felt a little uncomfortable, she always thought that Wang Ming was on her side and supported her to pursue her dreams, and even when her parents were blaming her for not focusing on work like this, he did not hesitate to stand up and speak for her, saying that she liked it, only when she was happy, he could be happy, at that time he made himself extremely moved, and he also decided that he would not marry in this life, but he did not expect that his attitude would change like this after only one year of marriage.

"April, family and career, you still have to make a choice in the end, you look at this home, after we moved in, did you decorate it with your own hands? Do you have any other decorations in the house other than the necessities of life? I sometimes feel like going home to a hotel, lifeless, it's already like this, you are now telling me that you have to spend more time and energy on work, do you think this is fair to me? We are not inferior to your income as a director" After Wang Ming finished speaking, he got up and walked into the room, leaving April alone to sit in the dining room, she felt a deep sadness, why do women have to sacrifice their careers for the sake of their families, why should they give up what they love to fulfill a man's life, I thought I would be lucky, but now it seems that she has not been spared. For such a multiple-choice question, April didn't know how to choose.
