After that day, the company's upper echelons did not exert any more pressure, and Lin Jiahe did not hold any more meetings with the finance department, nor did he even find people to talk to one by one.

But because the truth has not yet come out, the oppressive atmosphere in the office has continued. Everyone was terrified, and everyone was silent.

Of course, the work continues.

Maybe two weeks, maybe three weeks. Perhaps because life is gradually numb, Wu Jue can hardly see how time is flowing away, or how much it has flowed away.

Every day is pretty much the same, and every day is nothing to look forward to.

Working overtime until almost eight o'clock, the office was empty, and looking out the window, the city had already darkened.

I packed my bags and got up to get ready to leave work, only to find that the lights in the manager's office were still on.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Jue still walked to the door and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The manager's voice came from within.

"Manager, haven't left yet?" She walked in.

"Xiao Wu, you didn't leave, you were alone?" The manager looked up at her, his voice deep tired.

"Well, I'm getting ready to go, so you should get off work early." With that, she prepared to leave the office.

"Xiao Wu." He suddenly stopped her.

She turned to look at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

He looked at her, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "You've already guessed, right?" ”

Wu Jue was a little stunned, and he wasn't sure how to answer for a while.

She looked behind the manager a little dazedly, the night of the city flickered outside the window, and no one knew what was hidden in the night.

After being silent for a long, long time, Wu Jue naturally understood in his heart that he might pretend to be ignorant, but when the words came to his mouth, they still became: "Manager, why do you want to do this?" ”

The manager was obviously still a little surprised, when he asked that sentence just now, his original intention was actually just tactful and tentative, but he didn't expect this girl to see through it so easily.

He laughed helplessly and asked, "How do you know it's me?" ”

Wu Jue replied: "Before you asked this sentence, I wasn't sure. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed with relief: "Xiao Wu, from the time you first joined the company, I can see that you are different from the rest of the department. You're smart, but you're not sharp, you're hardworking, but you're not in the hunt for fame and fortune. How to put it, it seems that you have nothing to ask for, but it seems that you have some serious goal. ”

"Manager, you're thinking too much." Wu Jue also smiled.

"Maybe, it's just that I've lived for fifty years, and I still have some experience reading people. In fact, no matter what you want to do or what you want, remember that as long as you are worthy of yourself. ”

In the manager's language, Wu Jue suddenly felt that he was a little invisible, and hesitated before asking: "But, are you worthy of yourself by doing this?" ”

"Xiao Wu, didn't you just ask me why?" He sighed, picked up the picture frame on the table and rubbed it gently, "That's right, I'm in it for the money." ”

"However, Lin Zheng should give you a lot of salary, right?"

"It's a lot. But do you know that my wife had kidney disease a few years ago, and she has to undergo dialysis every once in a while, and she has to wait for surgery. My daughter is studying abroad, and it costs at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. So it's still not enough. ”

"But don't you feel ashamed of the chairman by doing this?"

The manager was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "I also hesitated. ”

Wu Jue thought for a while and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

"Actually, I know that the president must have known that it was me, but he was just waiting for me to have a showdown."

"Aren't you going to lose everything?" Wu Jue paused, and said with some hesitation, "Otherwise, you tell the president about your difficulties, after all, you have sold your life for Lin Zheng for almost thirty years, and you don't look at the merits but also look at the hard work, he won't even understand this." ”

"It's a bet, naturally there are wins and losses, and since you lose, you have to admit it. Do you know? The biggest difference between Mr. Lin and the chairman is that he is more indifferent, less approachable, and more eager for quick success. So he will definitely not tolerate betrayal. ”

"Maybe that's not a disadvantage for businessmen."

"Yes, so he is destined to be even more successful than the chairman."

"Manager ......"

"Don't worry about me." The manager put down the photo frame in his hand, "You work hard, you will have a future." Or with your calmness and intelligence, you will definitely be able to accomplish your goal. ”

Wu Jue was speechless for a while, witnessing a fifty-year-old man trapped in this indescribable sadness, she really didn't know what else to say, so she could only mutter: "Manager, then I'll go first." It's the kind of topic, but it's a pleasure to talk to you. ”

Although the word "happy" seems so ironic at this moment, Wu Jue really feels this way, seeing people who have nothing to do with her, vaguely revealing to her the harmony and warmth of the family, in fact, there will be a moment of warmth in her heart.

And it's not a blessing to think that there are still people in this world who can understand her.

On the way home, Wu Jue kept thinking about things about money and benefits. In fact, everyone has a greed in their hearts, the only difference is what your greed will bloom for. If it's for the sake of a loved one, then it's actually forgivable.

However, to Wu Jue's surprise, before she had time to think about it, the ending had already come, which caught her off guard.

The next day at work, the manager did not come to the company. On the third day, on the fourth day, he did not come.

On the fifth day, the company announced that the former manager of the finance department resigned for personal reasons, and the new manager took office a week later.

By this time, everyone could guess what was going on, but everyone probably didn't expect that the ghost would be the manager.

You see, this is how the world is surprised.

Because I can't think of it, I can't just say it. What's more, it was such sensitive information, so everyone tacitly continued to be silent.

No one knows who the next manager will be, what kind of person it will be, and whether it will be the next person to sell the company.

Sometimes, the world is so mysterious that even people who are facing each other may hide another unknown face.

In the midst of this trepidation, everyone gains something, such as caution, skepticism, hypocrisy, and vigilance.

Wu Jue thought that the after-work conversation would be the last time she would meet her manager, but a few days later, she actually saw him again.

It was Saturday afternoon, she went to the supermarket to shop, and when she was queuing up to check out, she found that the manager was standing in front of her, and there was a middle-aged woman with him, who was not very good, and looked very old, but the two of them were holding hands and looked very warm.

She hesitated for a moment before she walked up and said, "Manager." ”

He turned his head, a little stunned, and then responded with a smile: "What a coincidence." ”

But apparently, he had no intention of talking to her, just settled the account, nodded at her, and walked out.

Of course, Wu Jue didn't feel much regret, although he sighed a little about this matter, but it still didn't have much to do with him.

After checking out the bill, I walked outside the supermarket, ready to stop the car and go home, but someone tapped me on the shoulder. Turning her head, she saw the manager standing behind her.

"My wife was by my side just now, so I didn't talk to you much. She doesn't know about me yet. ”

"Don't know? But you've quit. Wu Jue was a little surprised.

"I sued her for my early retirement."

Wu Jue thought for a while: "Actually, it's a pity. In a few years, you can really retire. Wu Jue knew that he shouldn't say such things, but sometimes people are so uncontrollable.

The manager smiled and shook his head: "This is all expected, even if I didn't sell the company's financial statement to Wei Hong, I would definitely retire early." ”

Wu Jue was stunned, and was puzzled for a while: "I don't really understand." ”

"In fact, the information I sold didn't have much impact on Lin Zheng, I have been in the company for so many years, how can I really put the company in disadvantage."

"That's ......" Somehow, Wu Jue was a little apprehensive that he was about to hear it.

"The president has always been dissatisfied with my way of doing things, but because I am the old chairman, it is not easy for him to replace me directly, so he can only find a convincing opportunity."

"Do you mean that this qiē was deliberately done by Mr. Lin?"

"He did a drip, and even the chairman didn't have anything to say."

"But ......"

"I know you may not believe it, but some things are really not what they seem."

Wu Jue never only looked at the surface of things, but she didn't expect it to be such a truth. And while she was still immersed in astonishment, the manager had already shaken his head and left with a smile.

Wu Jue had imagined Lin Jiahe countless times, he might be indifferent, maybe mercenary, but she didn't expect that his indifference and mercenary would reach this kind of journey, and because of his own preferences, he would force away a hero who had worked hard for Lin Zheng for nearly thirty years, and even his elders.

Yes, how can a person like him know what affection is and what kindness is?

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the cancer in her heart began to spread again, gnawing at her heart little by little, and she was about to be unable to suppress the explosion.
