With strict control and effective governance, the number of SARS cases and deaths in Beijing is gradually declining, and by June, there have been almost no deaths, and everyone's hearts have gradually become more reassuring.

After eating at noon, the man walked to the garden downstairs of the company and called Jiajia.

"Jiajia, how's the house?"

Jiajia was very depressed, she said sullenly: "It's not good, my mother's physical condition is very poor, not at all like what she told me before." ”

"Huh?" The man was surprised, "Doesn't your mother always call and say that she is much better?" And I feel good when I listen to the sound. ”

Jiajia sighed and said: "When I called, my mother probably did it on purpose to show us, and I found out when I met that she was very thin and in good spirits, and the doctor said that she could only try to maintain it now, and she couldn't operate." ”

The man's heart was sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Jiajia sobbed a few times, "I hate myself now, why should I run so far instead of taking care of my mother by her side?" After saying that, Jiajia cried on the phone.

The man comforted Jiajia for a long time, and finally said: "Jiajia, don't be too sad, it's rare to go home, take good care of your mother, spend more time with your mother, I'm fine here, don't worry, if you need to call me in time." ”

Jiajia stopped crying, choked and nodded.

The man went to work without pain, and with the resumption of business, the man began to do some work again. Because there are not enough people on Kee's side, and there are only a few who can take the lead, so the work content of men and women is becoming more and more important. Kee always seems to have gradually forgotten the mistakes that the man has made, and the important strategy meeting has also begun to find the man to participate in and make a plan, the man is very happy, he is more low-key and cautious work, for fear of another mess. But a few meetings Kee always let Olive

It's called Male, Olive

It seems that he can't always remember, but it was only when he arrived at the scene that Kee always reminded him that he was unwilling to call a man. And the man found out, Olive

Recently, he has been particularly concerned about Song Qian, and the two seem to be very close.

As soon as he got off work, the man heard Song Qian answer the phone: "Hey, you...... Hehe, still dating? Haha, okay...... Listen to you, I'll go downstairs right away. ”

After hanging up the phone, Song Qian hurriedly began to pack up her things, and Xiao Liu on the other side of the partition seemed to hear the clue, poked his head out and asked, "Sissi, are you ready to get off work?" ”

"Hmm." Song Qian replied absentmindedly.

"Let's eat together in the evening, last time you said you wanted to eat the hot pot of the newly opened house, or tonight."

"No, someone asked me out."

"Oh," Xiao Liu was obviously very shocked, he just took his head back, and couldn't help but poke his head over again and asked, "With whom?" ”

Song Qian didn't even look at Xiao Liu, and replied coldly: "A friend." After speaking, he grabbed his bag and went downstairs, leaving Xiaoliu staring at her back lonely.

In a western restaurant not far from the company, Song Qian followed Olive

Sit with each other looking at each other. Olive

stared at Song Qian with a smile, seeing that Song Qian's heart was bumping into the deer, mechanically combing her hair, not knowing what to say.

"Sissi, you're a graduate of media school, right?"

"Yes." Song Qian replied gently.

Olive

Nodding his head, he said, "There is a drama teacher in your school who is my senior brother, and I often go to play with him." ”

Song Qian raised her head and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Jin Zhuoan, graduated from Donghua University."

"Oh, I know, he taught me too."

"Really?" Olive

He looked surprised, "Then why have I never seen you when I went to your school?" ”

Song Qian lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "There are so many beauties in our school, how can you notice my little radish?" ”

Olive

looked at Song Qian affectionately, shook his head and said, "It's different." After speaking, he picked up a knife and fork, cut a steak on the table, and sent it to Song Qian's plate, "You also know that many students in your school are quite pompous, but you don't." During the time I have worked with you, I have found that you are very calm and down-to-earth, which is rare in the media circle. ”

Song Qian's cheeks were so red that she was praised and didn't know what to say for a while.

Olive

raised her eyes and looked at Song Qian, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and then said, "And your dimples are too charming, and your boyfriend is too happy." ”

Song Qian was so excited by the praise that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Olive

looked at Song Qian seriously and said, "Really, don't believe it, if you didn't have a boyfriend, I really wanted to chase you." ”

"I don't have a boyfriend." Song Qian put away her smile and said in surprise.

Olive

With a look of surprise, he said, "Wouldn't it?" How did I hear that you and Xiaoliu are already together? ”

As soon as she heard this, Song Qian was anxious and hurriedly said: "No, we are colleagues, at most we are good friends, we have been working together for a long time every day, but we have a good relationship." ”

"Oh......" Olive

Breathed a sigh of relief. While helping Song Qian pick up vegetables, he asked seemingly casually, "Then are we okay together?" ”

Song Qian's face turned red again and said, "Olive."

, don't be kidding, you are a star of DT, many beauties like you, I ......" said, Song Qian looked at her body, tugged at her wide clothes and said, "If you want to be tall or not, if you want to be in shape or not, I really don't deserve you." ”

O[ive

Stopped what he was doing, raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Qian and asked, "Am I so superficial in your eyes?" "Song Qian was just about to explain, Olive

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, "Don't move." ”

Song Qian froze stiffly, Olive

Slowly stretched out his hand, took off a salad leaf from the corner of Song Qian's mouth, pinched it in his hand and looked at it, raised his eyes to look at Song Qian, and slowly put the vegetable leaf in his hand into his mouth.

Song Qian looked at him blankly, and didn't relax for a long time. Olive

It was as if nothing had happened, and it was immediately back to normal, "OK, you go on." ”

"I ......" Song Qian had long forgotten what she had just said.

Olive

Hehe smiled and said, "Forget it, if you want to be with me, you think slowly, let's talk about it lightly." ”

Song Qian sighed, and her tense nerves relaxed a lot.

"Are you okay with the man?" Olive

Chat while eating.

Song Qian wiped her mouth and said, "Well, the male man is very good, very diligent, and very smart, but he has little experience, and he made a mistake in the previous paragraph, which is a pity." ”

Olive

Expressionlessly, he continued to eat and said: "Well, the man is a brother I admire, and it is rare for DT to be able to skip a grade and be promoted, and my brother can do it, I really admire it." ”

As soon as she heard this, Song Qian came to her senses and said, "He is really not ordinary, and he is also legendary when he enters our company." ”

"Oh?" Olive

After a pause, he looked at Song Qian, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be careless and said, "Isn't he just an ordinary recruiter?" How is it legendary? ”

Song Qian was about to speak, but she stopped abruptly after a while.

Olive

He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Can't you believe me? ”

"No, when the key Xiaoliu told me, I swore that I couldn't tell others."

Olive

He picked up a napple and wiped his mouth, raised his right hand and said, "Then I'll swear to you too?" ”

Song Qian looked at Olive

With a sincere look, he swallowed and spat, "Then you swear that no one can say it." ”

Olive

It seemed helpless, but he nodded anyway.

"That's the case, the man started to submit his resume to our company, and there has been no news, so he ......" Song Qianmei told Xiao Liu to him, how the man pretended to be the title of VC and used various skills to enter DT step by step...... I told Olive in a hurry

。

Olive

With an imperceptible sneer on his face, his eyes betrayed his heart, and an insidious plan had begun to brew under Song Qian's explanation.

A few days later, after lunch, as soon as the man sat at his desk, he heard Song Qian slap and happily said to the man: "Look, the World Health Organization has lifted Beijing from the epidemic list!" ”

The man smiled and said, "You finally saved your life, are you happy?" ”

Song Qian sat on her back in her seat and smiled.

At this time, Xiaoliu ran over in a panic and said to the man out of breath: "Man, you are about to recall what went wrong, HRD may be looking for you in a while, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing." ”

The man was startled, and his mind quickly went through the recent work, and there was no problem. He grabbed Xiaoliu's shoulder and asked, "What happened, how do you know?" ”

Xiao Liu looked back, but there was no one, so he whispered: "I just went to the finance office to get the subsidy, passed by the HR department, and saw VC, HRD, and Pat

icia, Kee, Olive

It's all there, they're arguing about something, it's quite intense, Kee always slaps the table, I go to the photocopier next to me, pretend to make copies, I want to hear what's going on, but I can't hear them behind closed doors I can't hear clearly, but I keep hearing them mention your name, so it should have something to do with you, so I hurried down and talked to you, do you want to think about whether you offended anyone? ”

The man's head was buzzing. He propped his head on his hands, carefully recalling what had happened in the recent past, could it be that the last Esplanade thing had fermented again?

When the man was thinking, the phone in his hand suddenly rang, and this normal ringtone sounded so harsh at the moment. He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up tremblingly, "Hey? Hello? ”

"Du Nannan?"

"It's me."

"I'm L, you come to human resources, I have something to ask you."

L is the HRD of human resources. The man hung up the phone and sighed, thinking that it was a blessing or a curse, and that he couldn't avoid it, so go ahead. He stood up, straightened his collar, took his notebook and pen, and went upstairs.

Coming to the HR office, through the glass wall, he saw Pat

Icia was busy, and several other colleagues were doing their own thing, and no one noticed him. The man knocked on the door, Pat

ICIA looked up to see him, but her eyes quickly flashed, and she just stood up and opened the door to let the man in. The man is usually with Pat

icia was on good terms, and as he walked inside, he asked tentatively, "Pat."

icia, what's going on, L looking for me? ”

Pat

ICIA didn't look back, slowed down, and walked straight to an open space next to the pantry, and the man hurriedly followed. Pat

icia raised her eyes and looked at the man, sighed deeply and said, "Man, yesterday the VC suddenly came to me and asked me who Du Nannan of the strategy group was, so I introduced you." She suddenly asked me, did you say that VC introduced you when you joined the company? I didn't say it directly, I said that Du Nannan should have been in contact with you before, he just said that he knew you. ”

Pat

icia poked her head out and looked around, but no one noticed them, so she continued: "As soon as I finished speaking, VC went to L in a rage, and after talking for a while, the two called Kee up, started arguing, and after a while called Olive

And I also called in. ”

"Quarrel? What is the noise? ”

Pat

icia continued: "I don't know why VC suddenly became so angry, why did it take so long to suddenly think about it?" ”

The man just wanted to explain, Pat

icia spoke first: "Kee is really good to you, try to protect you, always say that you can be cultivated, and grow quickly, but VC seems to be very disgusted." ”

Pat

Before icia finished speaking, the man's mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was the landline on the HRD table, Pat

icia hurriedly whispered: "Okay, you go first, see what L says, come out and discuss." ”

The man entered L's office, and L raised his eyes and looked at the man through the brown glasses, which was very different from the previous ones, and the man was particularly awkward.

"Sit down." L said softly.

The man slowly pulled out a chair and sat across from L. L looked at the document in his hand, and paused for a while before speaking: "Man, how long have you been in the company?" ”

"It's been almost three years."

"Do you have anything to say about the company?"

The man thinks it's weird, does it matter? He thought for a moment: "Mr. L, DT is the second company I joined after graduation, and it is also the company that I have grown the most and learned the most. The company culture, the quality of the staff, the professionalism, the quality of the customers, etc., are all things that I like very much, and ......"

"Very good, I am grateful for you to see that DT International is a group of high-quality employees, we are not only dedicated, high quality, but crucially, we also have high requirements for the moral character of our employees, because that is the foundation of all professionalism." After saying that, L stared at the man's eyes and watched without blinking.

The man's face flushed, and a trace of cold sweat quietly appeared, of course he understood what L implied, and he couldn't say a word of all the excuses and rhetoric he had thought of.

After a long time, L relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair and said, "Man, if you were me, how would you deal with an employee who entered the company by lying?" ”

The man didn't say a word, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was weak.

L seemed to feel that he was cutting to the chase too quickly, and deliberately changed the topic, "Man, in fact, since you came, your boss Kee is very optimistic about you, reuses you, and you are worthy of this attention." You helped the company complete a wonderful proposal and won the big project of U&P, which really caused quite a stir at the time, and the company also gave you an exceptional promotion, and from this point of view, you have succeeded. Although he made a mistake in the previous paragraph and almost lost the Esplanade case, your boss thinks it was a communication mistake and can't blame you entirely, and he is willing to take responsibility for the management error. L commented on some of the key events of the man, which is not easy for HRD of a large advertising agency with nearly 1,000 employees.

The man listened quietly, his mind blank. Although the idea of resignation flashed in his mind after the last accident, and he was even mentally prepared to be fired, it was still difficult for him to accept it when this day really came.

L took out a cigarette and handed it to the man. The man hesitated for a moment and took it - smoking is not allowed in the DT office, L's actions confirmed a problem, today's conversation is extraordinary, it seems that there is going to be a showdown. The man lit his cigarette and took a deep breath. L also lit a cigarette and smoked it silently, and it could be seen that L was actually very sorry, but he had to do it because of his duty.

"Man, you're a smart man, you should know the purpose of my conversation."

The man's mood calmed down a lot at this moment, he nodded, and sighed deeply.

L flicked the cigarette ash, "Although the final result is not something I can change, but given your comprehensive performance in the past three years......" L said, taking out a document from the drawer, "The company will give you two months' salary, plus this month, for a total of three months' salary." L raised his eyes and looked at the man, "Moreover, we will not say to the public that you were dismissed, the agreement is written to negotiate resignation." ”

The man looked at the agreement and nodded subconsciously.

After L finished speaking, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, crossed his fingers on the table, looked at the man and said, "Okay, I'm almost done, do you think you have anything else to tell me?" ”

The man slowly picked up the protocol on the table, took a cursory look, and shook his head.

L was silent for a while, and said to the man in a serious voice: "Man, you have to remember that there are rules of the game in the workplace, survival requires not only effort, but also skills, skills can be used, tricks should not be used, not to mention, you are not using tricks, it is a lie." L patted the man on the shoulder, "Remember, at any time, don't trade lies for momentary benefits, because lies will definitely be exposed, it's just a matter of time." At this time, if L scolded him with his head and face, he might not be so sad, but like this, L talked to the man like an elder, which made the man's guilt spontaneously, he really couldn't control himself, and he lay on the table and shed tears of remorse.

After work, the man sat alone, staring blankly at the computer screen. Although Xiao Liu and Song Qian felt uncomfortable, they couldn't do anything, all they could do was silently help the man pack up his belongings and hand over the materials and office supplies.

After packing up his things, Xiao Liu looked around and saw that there was no one, and quietly said to the man: "Man, if you leave, I am also ready to resign." ”

The man turned his head and looked at Xiao Liu, hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't be like this, you did a good job, you didn't make a mistake, and you still have a lot to learn, DT is worth a few more years." ”

Xiao Liu's expression was very depressed, he sighed and said, "Cough, you are leaving, who am I going to be an assistant, I am not as capable as you, and I will leave sooner or later." ”

The man looked at Xiao Liu, squeezed out a little smile with difficulty, patted Xiao Liu's arm and said, "Don't look down on yourself, as long as we study hard and work actively, we will all have room for survival, not to mention," the man looked back for a moment, and then said, "Few people in the company know about our relationship, don't say it, you won't be implicated." ”

Xiaoliu was just about to open his mouth to say something, but the man snatched the words: "Besides, your salary is not high, you don't have any savings, you quit this job, can you guarantee a new job soon?" ”

Xiao Liu opened his mouth and stopped talking.

The man thought for a moment and said, "I'll follow Mo when I leave."

Sister is to say hello, she is short of people over there, you go to the customer department to help Mo

Is it sister. ”

Xiao Liu nodded and looked at the man gratefully.

Everything was cleaned up, the man thought about it again, and asked Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, Olive."

This? ”

Xiao Liu looked at it and said, "He was still there just now, and when you came back, he went downstairs, and he didn't say where to go." ”

The man nodded, looked at Song Qian again and said, "Then I won't wait for him, you can say goodbye to me when you see him, I'll leave now, and I'll be in touch with him in the future." ”

"Well, take care, man, brother." Song Qian's heart was sour, tears almost fell, she vaguely felt that the man's resignation had something to do with her big mouth, but she never dared to admit this fact.

The man took his things and left the office.

Walking downstairs, the man took out his mobile phone and was about to call Jiajia and tell her everything that happened, but he stared at the phone for a while and didn't dial it out. Jiajia rarely goes home, her mother's health has already worried Jiajia, and now if she tells her that she has lost her job, it will be even worse for Jiajia. Ahem, don't add negative emotions to her, let her stay with her mother at ease, and wait for her to go back to Beijing. Thinking of this, the man put his phone back in his pocket and walked out of the building.

The man looked back at the China Financial Building, and his heart was mixed. The big TV in an audio-visual bookstore next to it was playing an early Hong Kong and Taiwan police and gangster film, and the man's eyes swept over the TV screen, and a policeman just pressed a gangster to the ground, and said angrily: "Remember, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back when you come out." ”

The man smiled bitterly and turned his head towards the bus stop.

Walking through Parkson Mall, by the porch, Olive

With coffee in one hand and a wall in the other, he was looking at the man's back in the distance, and in addition to the joy of the victor, there was a more complex emotion in his eyes.
