That banquet is one of the most unforgettable banquets for my life, almost all the people present at the banquet are people I know, Mr. Chen, the representative of Sanxin Company, the old acquaintance of my father's company, Aunt Xiaofang, Uncle Wang Gang, etc., who I have been familiar with since I was a child, all of them were present, and they talked and laughed with each other, the atmosphere was warm, and there was no feeling of rustiness.

I haven't seen such a harmonious scene for a long time.

At that moment, I felt that my life was extremely full.

Everything was as incredible as a dream.

Of course, in retrospect, that day did feel like a dream.

Because I don't know what is the reason why Mr. Chen deliberately made things difficult for me, Mr. Chen actually did not drink a drop of wine at that banquet, but put all the credit and responsibility on my head, and kept asking me to drink instead of him and my father's colleagues. But even so, I was still a little dizzy and unsteady in my walking after the banquet that day, and I forgot a lot of things.

It's just that although I can't remember many of the conversations at that banquet, there is one thing that I will never forget.

At that banquet, almost everyone was red-faced, drunk-eyed, and full of interest, but just as the banquet was about to end, Mr. Chen suddenly talked about who would be the general manager of the branch after the establishment of his father's company as a branch of Sanxin Company.

As soon as this issue was discussed, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became a little stiff, because this matter was indeed a relatively difficult and sensitive matter. First of all, if the leader of Sanxin company is concurrently the general manager of my father's company, because Sanxin company and my father's company have many different work concepts, it is inevitable that there will be some ideological differences to lead, and some old employees of my father's company may have dissatisfaction and rebellion, after all, the idea of working for the original competitive company is not something that everyone can quickly accept. On the other hand, if I still let someone from my father's company serve as the general manager, then the concept of Sanxin company cannot be implemented to the branch, to put it bluntly, what is the difference between this and my father's company before it was merged by Sanxin Pharmaceutical Company?

As a result, at the dinner table, not many people dared to put forward good opinions on this sensitive issue in person.

In the end, Mr. Chen squinted at me with a crescent-like smile, and said in a brisk tone: "Xiaodong, I think, how about you come to the position of general manager?"

When I heard this, I almost didn't squirt out all the wine I had just drunk.

"Mr. Chen, I ...... You're really kidding this time. I'm not qualified to do that......" I said with a laugh.

"I'm not laughing. Although Mr. Chen smiled, his tone seemed very sincere, not like a joke.

Seeing the sparkling pupils revealed behind Mr. Chen's smiling eyes, I suddenly realized that Mr. Chen was indeed serious.

If you think about it, it is. At present, it seems that there is no one more suitable to be the general manager of the branch than me. Because of my father's relationship, even if I became the general manager of the branch, many employees would not oppose me and have a sense of rejection against me, but would support me because of my father's appeal before his death. At the same time, I am also the deputy manager of the sales department of Mr. Chen's company, and I am also the core cadre of Sanxin company. If I were to be the general manager of this branch, I would be the most suitable person.

But the biggest problem is that I'm too young.

Yes, I'm too young, I'm not even 23 years old and I'm sitting in the position of general manager, I really don't have that style and qualifications.

For a period of time, although my success has relied on my little luck and whimsy, I have not faced the real wind and waves, I have not experienced the test of setbacks, and I know that I am still a little unqualified to be a general manager.

I understand this truth, and it is impossible for Mr. Chen not to understand it.

So I don't understand why Mr. Chen would put forward such an idea to me.

So as soon as possible, I immediately resigned from this position. I may not have many other advantages as a person, but I still have self-knowledge.

"Mr. Chen, I think ...... If I want to be a general manager, I still have to work in this industry for a few more years to gain some experience. Now, to be honest, I don't think I'm capable of that. So let someone else be in this position. ”

"No, Xiaodong, let me tell you, you have. ”

But this time, Mr. Chen was very persistent, although he ostensibly wanted to listen to my opinion, but when I rejected Mr. Chen's proposal, Mr. Chen became tough.

"Xiaodong, let me tell you a word, a person's talent is not directly related to his age, sometimes young is an advantage. Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Do you know? When I started Sanxin Company, I was no more than you, and I was only 23 years old that year. ”

Mr. Chen raised an eyebrow at me and smiled, his cheeks, which were slightly shriveled from his old age, glowed with a youthful glow.

At that moment, I realized that I had never really understood the story of this gentleman who helped me so much along the way.

Mr. Chen began to venture out in the second year after the reform and opening up. Mr. Chen did not come from a wealthy family, and his family were all farmers. Back then, after graduating from high school, Mr. Chen, who came to the big city alone, only had so much money on him. But with Mr. Chen's own wisdom and ability, it didn't take long for him to break out of his own world.

It can be said that Mr. Chen's life is also a legendary life.

Now that Mr. Chen is nearly 47 years old, I don't know how Mr. Chen has come down all these years, but I think that if the same road were taken by someone else, he might not be able to go as far as Mr. Chen.

I don't know how the banquet ended, but two days later, I did sit in the position of general manager of Sanxin Company's branch.

This is Mr. Chen's expectation, and it can also be said that it is my final choice.

Do you know what it's like to be a general manager?

You sit in a swivel chair in front of a dark and shiny desk, with the tips of your black leather shoes cocked, a pile of copywriting on the table, and a cup of fragrant warm tea in the corner of the table.

Throughout the day, you can almost sit peacefully at your desk, pick up a newspaper and read it occasionally, and then just occasionally review the documents that are submitted, occasionally answer the phone calls of cadres and customers, and then make a decision, and you can receive a lot of wages and dividends at the end of the month.

And I really sat in this seat that ordinary people dream of.

Of course, because I am too young, I do not fully have the power of the general manager, nominally, although I am the general manager, but Mr. Chen still set up a manager for the branch, as the supervisor of my work, the main position is to be responsible for conveying to me the production concept of the head office and supervising my work.

This is both a spur and a discipline to me.

Mr. Chan put me in this position, but he did not completely indulge me, but tied me with a long rope on the premise that I had a chance to show my skills, and restrained me like a kite to prevent me from doing anything out of the ordinary.

But no matter whether I have real power or not, and what kind of career I can do, there is one fact that cannot be changed, and that is the ironclad fact that I became a general manager at the age of 22.

On the day I became the general manager of the branch, I also had a treat, so I invited all my colleagues who had worked with me to a banquet. Wang Fatzi, Lao Hu and other colleagues who have worked together in the sales department in the past all drank with me at the banquet.

Wang Fatzi was even more unwilling to want to get me drunk and make me ugly, he said that God is not fair, he has never seen in his life as easy as me to become a general manager, and he is so young, how can they still mix.

Listening to Wang Fatzi's complaints, I just snorted haha.

But there is one thing that I have to face, that is, after becoming the general manager of the branch, I will leave the sales department.

From now on, I will no longer be able to chat with familiar colleagues like Wang Fatzi in the same studio.

That wine banquet was actually a farewell banquet.

Although many people are a little envious and jealous of me, it is more of a sincere farewell to me when I leave the sales department.

Half a year has passed in a hurry, the years are like flowing water, once gone like a flood and no longer returning, the fallen leaves scattered in the flowing water flow to different distances, one day, they can still remember that they once rose and fell together in a shallow ditch?

That night, I raised my glass and toasted to my familiar colleagues one by one, and I also smiled and said to Wang Fatzi, Fat Brother, no matter where we are, we are all from Sanxin Company, and you will always be my eldest brother, which I will not deny. Fat brother, this cup, I'll do your best!

Hearing my words, Wang Fatzi looked at me with laughter, drunk eyes, and said loudly, Okay, Xiaodong, you said well, fat man, I will always be your eldest brother, the general manager's eldest brother...... Haha, I didn't expect that I would have such a majestic day as a fat man, it's really fucking happy. Come on, fuck it!

That night, we raised our glasses and drank bitterly, splashing the sparks of youth in the sound of wine glasses colliding.

It wasn't until the night was silent that we hugged each other goodbye.

When I breathed in the cold air outside the hotel and looked at the bleak autumn moon in the sky, my heart was full of emotion.

The encounter between people is similar to the glass of wine on the wine table, and when they are together, they can collide with the most passionate vocal music.

When they are separated, they are like the drops of wine that splash on the wine table, scattered in all directions, and it is difficult to regain them.
