Chapter 40: A woman as soft as a flower and as sharp as a sword

After pouring the tea, sit quietly and watch the water vapor come out of the teacup. After a while, Chengfeng reached out and placed a plate of strawberry cake next to Sue's teacup. He inadvertently put the ring back in his pocket, then took a sip of tea and laughed helplessly.

"Let's go!"

"Hmm!"

Spring is sleepy, summer is lacking, autumn is weak, and winter is just the right time to sleep in the morning. There is nothing happier in life than sleeping until you wake up naturally. Su is pushing open the window, it seems to be a little cold, and it is drizzling outside.

The professional enthusiasm questionnaire collected last week has been neatly placed on Su Yes's desk. Seeing this anonymous result, Su immediately trotted towards the leader's office.

Ouyang Key's office was a little distance from Su Yes's office, and when he was in the corridor, Su Shi suddenly had a feeling in his heart that the person he was about to meet might be his --- Chengfeng.

Sure enough, after knocking on the leader's office, he sat in the corner of the sofa, and when he saw her come in, he raised his head slightly.

Knowing that she reported to the leader, he didn't leave, just existed like air.

It was only halfway through hearing that he began to glance at Su is impatiently, and she was still actively reporting to Ouyang Key, so he had no choice but to lower his head and casually flip through one magazine after another.

"In this way, you immediately have an all-hands exchange meeting." After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, Su Shi strode across the carpet in front of Chengfeng, his thin figure squeezed into his tight clothes, carefully closed the door behind him and began to prepare the speech materials.

About half an hour later, Su received a call from Ouyang Key.

As soon as she walked into the conference room, she immediately had an awl-like gaze shooting at her. Su knew that the gaze came from Chengfeng.

She found the closest seat to the leader and sat down.

"Everyone, be quiet, today we are just a simple exchange meeting. Just talk a few words. ”

Ouyang Key's casual chat overwhelmed the hustle and bustle in the conference room, and like a sound that could pierce glass, all the employees immediately put their hands down and looked up at him.

"Of course, if I'm there, we may not be able to talk casually, so I handed it over to Su Shi, and I won't listen to it, so I went out first."

As soon as Su is heard this, he was so panicked that he didn't even dare to breathe.

A leader is a leader, and the key time is to get used to throwing the pot to her, but this pot was originally found by herself. Now, I can only talk about it myself.

"Hello everyone, since it's small talk, let's not be so restrained, and I don't have any preparations, (of course, the draft is still prepared.) The main thing is to talk about the topic of enthusiasm for work, so I still don't take any minutes without any secretion, so I'll start with a start, first talk about my own views on work and life, and then everyone should also actively speak! ”

The colleagues around her did not applaud, but just looked at her inexplicably.

"This attitude towards work, everyone is different, some colleagues, with a salary of 3,000 can sing the praises of peace and prosperity, while some colleagues with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 still feel like walking on thin ice; Most of the colleagues lie in the room after work to watch TV and play with their mobile phones to empty themselves, of course, there are colleagues when they get off work, but they are still worried about things at work, in fact, it is also related to the sense of crisis, because people with a sense of crisis are far from now. Of course, what I want to talk about today is not this, but when work is so busy that life becomes the whole of life, and there is no time for yourself to buffer, think, and improve yourself, you must learn to relax yourself and cultivate hobbies in your spare time. ”

Colleagues have already begun to whisper.

"We don't have any other hobbies, just a relationship." Some male colleagues laughed, and other colleagues laughed, and the atmosphere began to lighten.

However, at work, everyone's enthusiasm is not high, and every day when they go to work, they finally calculate how much time they have until they get off work; As soon as the leader is close to himself, he is always afraid of being assigned a task beyond his ability, don't laugh, everyone has such an experience, the relationship with colleagues is not handled well, and he eats alone at noon every day, etc., of course, those who don't want to go to work have people and things that they don't want to face. Last week's table even wrote that there are always 30 days a month when I don't want to go to work, haha, in fact, I have had it before, this should be the dilemma of the imbalance between life and work! To some extent, many people are frustrated by the meaninglessness of their work, but at the same time, they are constrained by their jobs and cannot enjoy their leisure. Neither getting a sense of accomplishment from work nor having enough time to express oneself creatively may be a common problem among modern urban office workers, and it is understandable to think that "I don't want to go to work". ”

"I'd love to ask, do you consider yourself a person who has a work-life balance?" This was asked by the wind.

"Today is a meeting for everyone, not a question and answer session for me. Of course, I love my job, and even at the moment, this love is more than life. ”

"Work is just an important part of our lives, but if overwork takes over our lives, we don't have to fool ourselves into thinking it's a benign state. Drawing a clear line between life and work is both necessary and beneficial. It is very likely that we will be abandoned by the times after being squeezed of the full value of time while being busy to the extreme. No matter how busy you are, save a little for your future self. For example, set aside some time for a relationship. Chengfeng's words sounded like he was expressing his own opinions to everyone, but in fact, he was a bit deliberately saying it to Su is listen.

"Now we are tired of work, and in addition to a severe lack of leisure, it is probably because of problems with our work. Or didn't realize the potential, or didn't play the kind of passion and initiative. Sue still managed to turn the conversation back to work.

It was not so much a heart-to-heart exchange meeting as a workshop on how to balance work and life.

When everyone was talking the most, some colleagues even pointed out that Chengfeng's personality was too lonely, because he rarely participated in team activities after work, and he was not gregarious.

Seeing Chengfeng's embarrassed face, Su still helped him save face.

"Are we talking about ourselves today, or self-criticism, and we are not allowed to comment on others, okay, hurry up, do you have other colleagues who want to talk about their own opinions?"

As Ouyang Key appeared at the door of the conference room, everyone ended these meetings happily, in fact, the most pleasant key is that they don't have to work but chat during working hours. Of course, this is a key point that leaders can never understand. So everyone left the room with a smile on their faces.

"Do you think I'm a lonely person?" Chengfeng seemed to care very much about what the colleague pointed out just now.

"No, you're not called lonely, you're called autistic." Sue bent her head and smiled," Russell once said in a book, "Thinking that one's work is important is often a precursor to insanity." "While some people believe, or are persuaded to believe, that their work is important, in reality a lot of work is just meaningless "shit". From this point of view, the pointless work is to disintegrate one's self-perception and "destroy one's sense of existence as well."

"Wait, don't preach, are you talking about me?"

Su is looking around, "Is there anyone else here?" ”

"First of all, I'm not lonely, and I'm not autistic, secondly, I give you what you just said, I have never felt that my work is very important, and the company is different for anyone else, but you have this trend, every day in addition to work or work, and your work is more important than any position in any department."

"Hey, don't make personal attacks, okay? When do I feel like my work is important? ”

"Do you think about work all the time you get off work?"

"No, when I'm with you, I'm just talking about work and wanting to work." Sue's words are a bit hurtful, but they are also true.

"Don't you think you're not like a woman? Work every day, and so rational. and never cries, let alone coquettish. Nor will it. "Riding the wind for a while, I said.

"I am a woman, a woman as soft as a flower and as sharp as a sword. Of course, the enemy has always been sharp, and the soft side will only be shown when you treat the person you like, and unfortunately, you haven't seen it. Yes, since childhood, someone once solemnly told himself, "You are a girl, what should you be, as if there has been a mold named "woman" in the world for a long time, all we have to do is to keep pruning and adjusting ourselves to meet the absolute standard in the eyes of worldly beings. You're one of those vulgar people, that's why you say that. A person is not born a woman, but becomes a woman. ”

"Becoming a woman? Have you changed? ”

"It's changing, but it's because I meet someone I like." Sue's words stabbed him again, "A truly powerful life is always growing vividly, you have serious machismo, and whether it is work or life, there is sexism, every girl, if you can follow your heart and live her life frankly and truthfully, all the things I love and believe in will make me the best version of myself." ”

"I really don't want to quarrel with you, Su is, why can't you make people feel comfortable!"

"I really like this topic, doesn't it say that the better the person, the more comfortable he is? Indeed, no matter how big the problem is, excellent people have the ability to resolve the problem into intangible, and the posture is always so good-looking, as if they were born like this, just like the tone you speak to me like this, do you yourself make people comfortable? People who are comfortable must be people who are considerate and empathetic. Their charm comes from richness, restraint, warmth, kindness, and exudes a kind of nobility from the inside out. ”

"Stop, I'm not as good as you are in eloquence. You're all right, you're right about everything. ”

"I haven't finished talking yet," Su pouted and wanted to laugh, but never laughed, "Actually, there is another reason, people who like me are comfortable with how I talk and do things, and people who don't like me are naturally uncomfortable looking at me everywhere." Su was afraid that he would be angry again, so he began to pack up the paper, pens and materials in the conference room as he spoke.

He looked at Su is with a look that he thought was a little funny, and there was something in her expression that made him smile embarrassedly, as if he was smiling at himself, and then quietly watched Su Shi do what she was doing.

After work, they went back to their dormitories.
