Chapter 299: Little Citizen
When Zhou Liwen was the manager of the Huacheng branch, Zhuo Jie took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the Suzhou and Hangzhou branch because his daughter was in junior high school, and the family could not be squeezed because his daughter was in junior high school.
A few years have passed, and Zhuo Jie's daughter has also reached high school, and she is almost a big girl. But now Zhuo Jie not only lost his position as the manager of the Suzhou and Hangzhou branches, but also returned to the Shanghai headquarters to still be his original regional director, but his home is still the same family. His family of three, plus his elderly parents, live in a two-bedroom apartment of less than 47 square meters, and its conditions can be imagined.
It's still the same as before, the room has a curtain drawn, barely making do. In fact, before, that is, when Zhou Liwen first bought a real estate, he once reminded Zhuo Jie to take advantage of the current low housing prices to take out a loan to buy a house to improve the conditions of his family. But how did Zhuo Jie answer Zhou Liwen at that time? Until now, Zhou Liwen still remembers.
"The real estate in the city center has fallen to 4ooo, and the outside of the inner ring has fallen below 3ooo, buying a house is actually similar to speculating in stocks, and now this situation is a loss of money, it is better to wait and see, and wait until the house price falls below 1ooo and then buy a larger set of ......."
This is Zhuo Jie's original words, Zhou Liwen was a little crying and laughing at the time, but he didn't expect that Zhuo Jie's mentality has not changed until now. To be honest, as a middle manager and business executive, Zhuo Jie is still very competent, and he can be said to be shrewd in his work, especially in business. But it is precisely this shrewdness that makes Zhuo Jie often think too much and is easily disturbed by all kinds of external influences. Shrewdness is mistaken by shrewdness, and it is people like him who are talking about it.
At the beginning, if Zhuo Jie could grit his teeth and listen to Zhou Liwen's persuasion, he would have had a house long ago, and he would not be crammed into such a small environment with five people like now. And in the same way, if Zhuo Jie had been bolder, he would have simply pulled out the hammer guy and worked alone, and he would not have fallen to this point. Looking ahead, hesitating, and always hesitating, this is precisely the weakness and flaw of his character.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhuo Jie, who was a little half drunk, staggered home. As soon as she entered the door, Li Qi, a wife who was urging her daughter to do her homework, saw her husband's appearance, and her face was immediately unhappy.
Zhuo Jie didn't pay attention to Li Qi's expression, and sat down on the side of the bed happily, looking very happy.
"Go to the balcony and do your homework." Li Qi said a word to her daughter, and beat her daughter to the small study room converted from a closed balcony to do her homework, and when her daughter went to the balcony with a pen, she complained to her husband with a cold face: "How did you do it?" How do you drink like this? You think you're still a branch manager! Your unit is now in such a bad state, the monthly salary is not enough to spend, my daughter will be admitted to college in two years, and now the college tuition is so expensive, I save every day and every month, but you are good, you eat and drink outside, and you don't care about this family at all! ”
Zhuo Jie laughed when he heard this, and said proudly: "Okay, okay, don't I know?" Sue you, I didn't spend a penny on this wine and food today, someone invited me! ”
"Please? Do you still have customers who invite you to dinner? You just blow it! Li Qi believed that he was strange, poured a glass of water for her husband, and let him drink sober wine.
"Don't believe me? Hehe. Zhuo Jiele said: "I really didn't blow it, it was indeed someone who bought the bill." Do you remember Xiao Zhou in our previous unit? It's the manager of the Huacheng branch, he paid for it today, and he drove me back. ”
"Is it called Zhou Whatwen?" Li Qi thought about it and still didn't remember Zhou Liwen's full name, but his impression of Zhou Liwen was there, after all, Zhou Liwen and Qian Jiaozi did this thing against each other and made a lot of trouble in the group, and Zhou Liwen and Zhuo Jie were both subordinates of Mr. Chen, and Zhuo Jie had not told Zhou Liwen in front of his wife at that time.
"That's right! It's Zhou Liwen! ”
"Didn't he quit a long time ago?" Li Qi asked strangely, how did this person who hadn't been in touch for several years suddenly get in touch again? Could it be that Zhou Liwen took the initiative to find his husband? Thinking of this, Li Qi became nervous, now the society is not as complicated as before, most of the people who do business look bright on the outside, but in fact, they are all coffins. Maybe this Zhou Liwen lost money and deliberately filled his head to find his own Zhuojie, what kind of idea did he have.
Li Qi thinks so for a reason, because not long ago, a classmate of hers who had not been in touch for many years found her inexplicably, first very affectionately cheering for homely things, and then saying that she wanted to meet for a meal or something, and finally talked about inviting herself to listen to a lecture. At first, Li Qi also dressed up beautifully, but who would have thought that he would be pulled into some company by this old classmate, listened to an Amway lecture, and after listening to the class, he enthusiastically taught her the trick of "success" or something, trying to show her as a downline to engage in "direct sales".
Li Qi is not a little girl who has just stepped out of society, so she felt that something was wrong when she heard this, and finally found an excuse to get out. After leaving, I sulked for several days, and the trust between people in this society is getting worse and worse.
"Don't think about it, people are much better than me now." Zhuo Jie understood what she was guarding against as soon as he saw his wife's appearance, and immediately told Zhou Liwen about his situation with a smile. Of course, Zhuo Jie doesn't know much, and he won't know that the orz mobile phone, which is currently famous in the mobile phone industry, is Zhou Liwen's industry, but Zhou Liwen has a logistics company, and he still knows a thing or two, and when he came back in Zhou Liwen's car today, the luxury car that is worth a lot of money at a glance is not affordable for ordinary people at all.
figured out the situation, and learned that it was her husband who invited someone to dinner today, but in the end, someone else paid the bill, and he drove a good car to send him back. Li Qi couldn't help but complain to her husband a few words, nothing more than saying that everyone used to be the same branch manager, and their heads were so smart, they relied on the group's resources to make a stall outside, but now they have become a big boss. Even if you don't talk about Zhou Liwen, just talk about the hammer of the southwest branch, isn't it also a famous local boss? And her husband is not as good as before, and even lost the position of branch manager.
"If others are good, no matter how good others are, it is someone else's business. If you had been smarter, our family would still be able to pick and choose the province like now? Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but mention such a sentence.
"Hehe, I admit it, I'm not as bold as them, I'm a little timid, but I'm honest, and there's no way to do it. When you took a fancy to me, I didn't want to be loyal and honest, okay? But wife, don't worry, no matter what your husband says, he is also a leader, and this brain is still a little bit, otherwise how could I invite Zhou Liwen to dinner today. ”
"Why do you invite people to dinner, it's obvious that people invite you to dinner." After glancing at her husband, Li Qi recalled what she had just said, and was stunned: "That's right, what is the situation with you looking for Xiao Zhou today?" You're not going to sue me, are you going to resign? What are you going to do with him? But didn't you say earlier that some of his logistics companies are located in the southeast? You're going to the Southeast? ”
"What and what!" Zhuo Jie smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "What are you going to do with him?" It's strange that I have this idea. He is a private enterprise, and I am now a state-owned enterprise, although the current head is not very good, and the money in hand is a lot less than before, but at least it is stable! And the gold unit that should be paid is the same, and what kind of pension do private companies care about? Even if I go to his side, I will get more money than now, but after deducting the four golds paid, it won't be much, and when I get to Xiao Zhou, he will become my boss, and I will not be embarrassed if I meet him in the future. ”
"That's too!" Li Qi nodded and said: "Your salary is discounted, but the base of the four gold has not changed, and if you don't count the deductions, it's actually not bad." If you really pass it, life will definitely not be as easy as it is now, and as you said, the relationship between the two parties is not friends to become bosses and employees. But why don't you go to his side and eat with him? ”
"You're stupid!" Zhuo Jie hated iron and said: "If you don't go to work under him, can't you eat?" Anyway, he's the boss now. What do I do? The former branch manager, how to say it now, is also a regional director, this friend who is the boss does a favor to introduce some business or something, and then pulls the brother along, isn't this it? ”
"That's right! It's a good idea! Li Qi looked at her eyes when she heard it, why didn't she think of this trick. It seems that although his husband is a little weak, he is not bad at brains, and he can actually come up with this trick.
"And what did you talk to him about? How do you plan to work together? What business can he tell you? Also, we don't have any capital, don't think about the little deposit in the bank, it's all reserved for my daughter to go to college in the future. ”
"Cut! You think your husband is an idiot, you can't think of that? Zhuo Jie scoffed at his wife's words, in his opinion, even the most reliable business is not reliable as long as it pays the capital, who is 100% profitable in business? If people say that there is a 99% success rate, isn't there a remaining 1%? What's more, people are talking about people, and he himself is not sure, let alone others? If Zhuo Jie was willing to give it a go, he would have listened to Zhou Liwen's words and taken out his belongings to buy a house, at least he couldn't run away with this house in hand, and he could live by himself if it didn't rise.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Zhuo Jie did not plan to contribute capital from the beginning, his abacus is to be an introducer and a way to cooperate with Lala. Let him run errands and do his best, these are fine, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to pay for it. What's more, his family doesn't have much money, and this is the only way to do it.
"And what did you talk to him about?" Li Qi said strangely.
Zhuo Jie smiled, looked left and right, and saw that the door of his parents' room was closed, and his daughter was doing her homework on the balcony, waving to his wife, so he asked in her ear: "Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that your third branch factory has a plan to sell it, I pondered ......." ”
