Chapter 37: No Way Back
Liu Yuan did not immediately cut to the chase, but took the delegation to visit the prison, and she wanted to use strict discipline and a clean environment to improve the impression score, so as to increase the trust of the delegation in the prisoners as much as possible.
The delegation came to the prison and praised the neat housekeeping inside, and if it were not for this bars, no one would have associated this place with the prison at first sight.
At this moment, people will unconsciously have the association of transposition, assuming that they are in it, what will it be? But this is also an untenable assumption among most people.
Zhang Li is different, when she conceives it, she doesn't feel a spirit, because this idea may be a quasi-reality in her.
When she looked at the window and saw her own shadow reflected in the glass, she didn't feel a spirit, a familiar and unfamiliar face looking at herself through the bars, and the shadow's eyes were full of despair, remorse and fear.
She couldn't imagine the remorse of being separated by a wall from her loved ones, the fear of being here every day, and the despair of being separated from her beloved behind bars.
What's even more terrifying is that he has come to the edge of the cliff, as long as he takes a step, all this may become a reality, and that kind of stubborn obsession will only make him irreversible.
What she saw and heard in prison made her realize that being able to snuggle in the arms of her beloved, to be able to honor her parents, to be able to raise children and watch them grow up, these seemingly simple things are true happiness, and obsessiveness, this simplicity will inevitably become a luxury.
Thinking of this, she decided to stop, she interrupted Liu Yuan and said, "Prison warden, you see that we have limited time, can we?" ”
When Liu Yuan heard this, he said, "Okay, then let's go to the workshop." ”
The decision to retreat has been decided, and there is little point in recruiting workers here, but the work on the surface still has to be done, and it will be over with a simple technical reason when the time comes.
On the way, Shi Yao was called to her side by Zhang Li, "Sister, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Li said: "Just take a look at it. ”
Shi Yao didn't understand what she said, how could she just take a simple look, she just wanted to ask, but suddenly realized, she had a number in her heart, she knew that Zhang Li must be dissatisfied with this, "Understood." ”
workshop
Hundreds of prisoners operate the machine in a uniform manner, and everything in the workshop is in order, without a trace of clutter, which is only better than the workshop of Company X. Chen Shao nodded slightly, and said in a slightly appreciative tone: "This girl still has some vision, if it really happens, it will not only enhance the strength of the company but also enhance our reputation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”
From just now to now, Li Tian is holding his hands behind his back, acting like he has nothing to do with himself, yes, until now he still scoffs at this plan, he just wants to see Zhang Li's foreign appearance, he snorted and did not speak.
Chen Shao just shook his head and smiled.
Today, the rumor of Company X's selection has long spread in the prison, and the prisoners are like facing a great enemy, giving full play to what they have learned, after all, if they are selected, their lives may be rewritten.
Liu Yuan asked, "What do we need to do?" ”
Zhang Li said: "It's okay, our people just go down and watch." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Li gave Shi Yao a look, Shi Yao understood, she had already greeted several designers in her companionship before, but she didn't say anything.
Every frame here will bring a sting sensation to Zhang Li, who now just wants to end today's trip as soon as possible, and then go back to the company to find Mr. Li to resign.
But she knew that it was not easy to retreat from the difficulties, and she was afraid of Mr. Li's threat. But after thinking about it, she can make up for her current actions, as long as she admits her mistakes with the task force and makes up for her mistakes, the problem will not be too serious, and she doesn't believe that Mr. Li is rushing to do anything to herself in this land.
Perhaps absent-mindedly, she was completely unaware that she was walking towards a female prisoner holding a cloth roll in front of her, only to hear a bang, Zhang Li was knocked down by the heavy cloth roll and fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone gathered around for a while, and Liu Yuan hurriedly helped Zhang Li up, "I'm so embarrassed, I'm really embarrassed, are you hurt?" ”
Zhang Li knew that it was her own fault, and she didn't care, "It's okay, it's all my fault." ”
At this time, a correctional officer said to the "reckless" female prisoner: "Teng Ying, how did you go!" ”
As soon as Zhang Li looked up, she didn't expect that the person who bumped into her turned out to be Teng Ying, close contact, Zhang Li sighed secretly in her heart, it was so beautiful.
Teng Ying lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Li Yun was also a little helpless, although she knew that Teng Ying didn't mean it, but it was not good to hit anyone, but she hit the vice president of the company, "Why are you so careless!" ”
Teng Ying hung her shoulders, lowered her head and repeated, "I'm sorry." Then she glanced at Zhang Li, but Zhang Li avoided Teng Ying's eyes.
Zhang Li immediately got up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I hit her, don't blame her." ”
Seeing that the other party did not pursue it, everyone's hearts sank, and it was a small episode of this investigation, but it was such a small episode that Teng Ying was wronged, and the hat of failed cooperation was buckled on her head.
After about a morning, the inspection was over, looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, Liu Yuan sighed, and Li Yun beside him asked, "What is the prison warden sighing for?" ”
Liu Yuan himself didn't understand what this sigh was, Teng Ying's future? Is it the head of the delegation, or is it ......
In the car, Shi Yao said excitedly: "Sister, there are at least 20 people who meet the technical standards, and the rest of the designers also recognize, our first batch can be recruited." ”
Zhang Liman replied nonchalantly, "I know." ”
Looking at Zhang Li's mediocre interest, he knew that despite this, Zhang Li had no intention of giving up, and he didn't say more.
Office door
The blonde smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, Mr. Li is waiting for you." ”
Zhang Li agreed, but she didn't push the door open immediately, so far she didn't know what to say, suddenly the door opened, Mr. Li walked out first, showing a kind smile and said, "Why don't you come in?" Shall I eat you? ”
The joke did not ease the fear in Zhang Li's heart, and she followed Mr. Li into the office.
Mr. Li looked at Zhang Li's unnatural expression, lit a cigar, and said, "I saw hesitation and fear in a girl's eyes. After a pause, he continued, "But what I see the most is retreat. ”
Zhang Li's heart trembled, could it be that Mr. Li knew the purpose of his trip, so he simply got straight to the point, and said in a voice that he couldn't even hear: "Mr. Li, I'm ...... I wanted to resign, but I couldn't do it. Then he said, "I promise never to say those things." ”
When Mr. Li heard this, his face did not change at all, he slowly sat on the sofa and lifted Erlang's legs, and said, "You are very capable, and you have also proved yourself to me, but you are not suitable after all." ”
Zhang Li raised his head suddenly, looked at Mr. Li incredulously, he actually agreed, "You agreed?" ”
Mr. Li spread his hands, "This is your decision, what right do I have to interfere?" Then he opened a bottle of red wine and poured it into two goblets.
Zhang Li was ecstatic, but in between, he still asked, "What about the previous file?" ”
Mr. Li got up, picked up two cups, and handed one of them to Zhang Li, "Don't worry, it's already over." Girl, go back and pursue your own life. After that, he touched Zhang Li's cup lightly.
Everything came too easily, easy like a dream, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you." ”
After that, he turned around and left, but just as he was about to go out, he was suddenly called by Mr. Li behind him, "You are very capable, the door of Company X is open for you at any time." ”
Zhang Li's heart burst out with a trace of emotion, but her mind at this time was no longer on her career, "I know, thank you for your cultivation." ”
Mr. Li nodded lightly and made a gesture of please.
After Zhang Li left, the corners of Mr. Li's mouth were slightly raised, and there was still a smile on his face, but there was a hint of weirdness in this smile.
The news of Zhang Li's resignation caused a sensation in the entire company, and this resignation for no reason made the reflex arc of any normal person a little unable to keep up.
In the parking lot, Zhang Li loaded the last piece of luggage into the car and held Shi Yao's hand, "Goodbye." ”
Shi Yao is still full of confusion, why did she leave at noon in the morning? "Sister, you have given up all this, haven't you given up some?"
Zhang Li looked at the green mountains in the distance and said, "Sometimes, it seems that what you give up is a giant tree, but in fact it is indeed a forest. ”
Shi Yao nodded thoughtfully, then stretched out her hand and said, "Goodbye." ”
On the way, Zhang Li went directly to Lu Ziyang's company, and she wanted to surprise Lu Ziyang in person.
U Company
As soon as he entered the door, he collided with Lu Ziyang's old man, Lu Jingcheng, and Zhang Li immediately said respectfully: "Hello uncle." ”
Lu Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yohe, Xiao Zhang, let's find Ziyang." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhang Li replied.
Lu Jingcheng said: "Don't worry, I still have something to do with you." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Li's heart sank, the old man actually had something to do with himself? But he agreed, "Okay." ”
When the two arrived at the car, Lu Jingcheng said: "I handed over my company to Lu Ziyang, and he will become the president of Company U from today." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Li was excited and said, "It's your cultivation that is good." ”
Lu Jingcheng didn't want to be polite, so he cut to the chase and said: "You also know that Company U has not had good results this year, and several shareholders of the board of directors have withdrawn their capital today. ”
Hearing this, a bad premonition emerged in Zhang Li's heart, "What do you mean?" ”
Sure enough, in the next sentence, Lu actually presented: "You are the vice president of Company X, and everyone knows the situation of Company X at this time, you are very good, and I value you very much, but after all, you represent Company X......"
Hearing this, Zhang Li's face sank, and said, "You mean, I'm afraid that I will affect Lu Ziyang, so I won't contact Lu Ziyang in the future?" ”
Lu Jingcheng said, "Company U is very fragile at this time, and my opinion is that your matter is temporarily put on hold, and Lu Ziyang has reached a consensus with me on this point. ”
Zhang Li heard that it was like five thunderbolts, she didn't know how she got out of the car, she didn't explain that she had resigned, Lu Jingcheng acted in an ordered tone, and didn't give herself a chance to explain at all, and she didn't want to explain.
She was helpless, sad, miserable, and at this point she felt that the whole world had abandoned her.
She took out the phone and called Lu Ziyang, she wanted to hear Lu Ziyang's explanation in person, but there was only a busy sound from the phone, and Lu Ziyang did not answer the phone.
All of this is true.
Zhang Li returned to her bedroom gloomily, and the moment she closed the door, she finally couldn't control it, tears dripped like rain, and she shouted helplessly: "What's wrong, what's going on here!" ”
After a long time, the tears dried up, and she sat down in the mirror, staring at her red and swollen eye bubbles, lost in thought.
At this moment, she understands a truth, there is no immutability in the world, the person who protects you may become the person who hurts you the most, and the obsessive pursuit of love may be the last straw that crushes you. At this time, she understood how stupid her short transformation was, relying on herself could only let herself be slaughtered by others, and only if she was strong enough would she not be controlled by others.
Thinking of this, she opened the makeup case and wiped the light makeup off her face.
After a long time, Zhang Li's face could no longer see tear stains, but instead a slightly evil heavy makeup, she gritted her back molars and said: "Starting today, no one will be able to stand on my head!" You forced me! ”
She walked out of the house quickly, heading in the direction of Company X, and at this moment she had no way back.
