Chapter 33: Life will open up more possibilities for everyone
After sending the news to Ning Qian during the day, the stone sank into the sea. It's anomalous. In the past, she would reply every other day at most. Although the chat with her is a few short sentences, he will carefully consider every word, and after sending it out, he will regret whether he didn't say it clearly, or whether it will be inappropriate. For every sentence given to her, he wanted to add: Wait for me! But I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, but I didn't dare to express my heart so directly. He read this one last time many times, and it seems that there is no problem, why didn't she reply? He called Ning Qian's mobile phone, but it didn't get through. Is it too busy at work, or is there something unwell in your body? He asked Huang Junjie if he had been in contact with Ning Qian these days, and Huang Junjie quickly replied: Dude, if I contact her more often than you, it won't be right, right?
After coming to England during the day, he felt a little change in his heart: he used to worry that he was too cowardly and weak, even if he tried his best to take care of his mother and sister, he was often unable to do so, and he would always ask: "Will I not have enough energy to warm Ning Qian?" Although I know that it is actually me who draws light and heat from Ning Qian, I am a man, and I must be able to shelter her from the wind and rain. ”
Everything that happened in the past made him disappointed in himself, but now, I don't know if it is a change in the environment, he is making more and more money, and he has been admitted to LBS as he wished, all of which has made him start to re-examine and evaluate himself: as long as I want to, I will definitely be able to!
When he first arrived in the UK, he could only get in touch with a few people who often interacted with Ningcheng Group, and after preparing for the exam and taking the exam, his social circle suddenly expanded a lot: Chinese student associations, LBS alumni...... Life suddenly became richer. Especially in the circle of international students, as long as he appeared, the eyes of the girls around him became the spotlight, and he instantly became the center of the audience.
The girls here are very different from Ning Qian: they don't have her shy smile, they are all generous and enthusiastic. Almost every time I participate in an event, I leave him a phone call or even ask him to go to the hotel directly. The day seemed to fall into a thousand flowers at once. Unlike Ning Qian's Qing Shui Hibiscus, these girls know how to dress themselves very well, with small eyes that will outline ecstatic eyeliner, and large mouths that will highlight their red lips. At first, he was a little unaccustomed to the overly strong colors and extreme hustle and bustle during the day, but after a long time, he began to enjoy the feeling of being admired and surrounded by the crowd, and he became more and more relaxed and confident.
Therefore, he did not receive a reply from Ning Qian for the time being, he was puzzled, and he did not think deeply, and began to prepare for how to balance the next study-based life with work. Perhaps, this is not balanced at all, right? He called Hong Xuantao and told him that he was going to start studying, and if he really couldn't take care of it, he might have to give up his expatriate job in the platinum boat. Hong Xuantao listened to it and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, you are really good, you can be admitted to such a difficult school." However, you are really stupid, you actually think about giving up your job, there is no income, how tired you must be from studying! ”
"You just know what I know, as long as you can get by at work, you can study in peace and don't tell anyone else. When you finish reading the book, your wings are stiff, and you want to fly somewhere, then you will talk about it. Hong Xuantao's thoughtfulness and accommodation touched Bai Tian very much.
"I only told my mother and my sister, you, and Ning Qian." Daylight said.
"Oh, Xiao Ning? I haven't seen her in a long time. Is she okay? Hong Xuantao asked. He heard Jin Qiu mention that Xiao Ning went to Shanghai to work.
"She's good, she's always worked hard. Now in Shanghai. "When Bai Tian thinks of Ning Qian now, he can't help but smile.
"Come on, Xiaobai! Don't look like a coward, you look so handsome, and now you are in such a good school, you have a bright future, after returning to China, take Xiao Ning down! Hong Xuantao also took the phone and made a demonstration action of taking it down, but unfortunately he couldn't see it during the day.
"Understood! I will! Bai Tian, who put down the phone, picked up the photo frame on the table, looked at Ning Qian, who was smiling so brightly, and said: "You wait for me, in a year, I will take you down!" His movements are exactly the same as Hong Xuantao's demonstration.
Yannan was surprised when he heard that Fang Gang had gone to Shanghai: "Why didn't you hear you say that you were going on a business trip before?" ”
"My colleague was in a car accident and was hit badly, so I went to see her." Fang Gang said to Yan Nan, who came to the airport to pick him up.
"Oh my God, how? Which colleague is it, do I know it? Yannan was also anxious.
"I don't know if you've seen it."
"Aimee from the sales department, Ning Qian." When Fang Gang said this name, Ning Qian's messy appearance resurfaced in front of him, and he suddenly felt a lot of pain in his chest.
How could I be? My girlfriend is Jiang Yannan, and I actually went to Shanghai to see Ning Qian, and I gave her a ...... What flowers? …… yes, like a rose? Isn't it a rose? He tried hard to recall...... Pick flowers at the flower shop downstairs at home...... One night squirting ...... Do partition separation and support...... Pack it in a cardboard box...... Holding it in both hands and handing it to Ning Qian...... Target...... Roses for sure!
Oh my God, I haven't sent a single rose to my girlfriend Jiang Yannan, why would I go so far and do such a thing? Am I a ghost? His silence made Yannan even more worried: "Is her injury serious?" Are there any dangers? “
"I haven't met Aimee, but I've heard Sandy mention it many times that she is a girl in the limelight in your company."
She swallowed the last sentence Sandy said: "The people in the sales department are putting her and the two diamonds together, and it is better to make a pair, you have to keep an eye on the side of the square!" ”
"The company sent you to comfort her, and it should be, it's really pitiful for a person to be so seriously injured in the field." Yannan is always so sensible.
"I wasn't sent by the company, I went by myself." Fang Gang didn't want to lie to her.
Yan Nan was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately said with a calm face: "That's also how it should be, you are colleagues, don't go to see it at this time, how inappropriate." ”
"I also sent roses." Fang Gang almost confessed, but looking at Yannan's quiet face, he felt that he was too inhuman to say this! -I'm not a human being in the first place, and I don't plan to chase people, so I'm so dignified, what kind of roses to give. He scolded himself fiercely. Out of shame, he hugged Yannan: "Come, let's go for supper together!" Yan Nan took small steps with joy and walked with him to the brightly lit place.
Justin was seriously considering the idea that Aimee had called and said to him the other day: it was certainly unrealistic to give the office three million per person, but it would be unkind to drive them away without saying anything. Can they give more objective and reasonable compensation based on the existing laws and regulations and the actual input and output of their work in the Shanghai office? When Aimee told him that he was three million a person, he was shocked: "Why haven't I heard of this?" And the company sent Aimee to do it, it's really such a tricky job, why is Gupta hiding it from me? If it's just compensation, then it's good to settle accounts and make legal compensation, why do Gupta and Lu have to dodge and pretend to be calm?
Justin went to Lei Yue'er, who was silent for a while, but still told Justin the whole situation. Justin couldn't help but tug on his tie: "How can this be?" So, Aimee is really dangerous to go to Shanghai? Lei Yue'er sat behind the desk and said sullenly: "I don't know if Aimee's injury this time has anything to do with dealing with this matter, but fortunately, I heard Lu say that it was just a rub." Justin and Lei Yue'er discussed Ning Qian's suggestion and determined the approximate compensation range that the company could afford for each employee in the office.
He went to Gupta again and reported Ning Qian's proposal and the results of his discussion with Lei Yue'er, Gupta was a little embarrassed: "Justin, it's not that I don't want to tell you the whole story, you and I are both foreign employees, we actually don't know much about what happened, and I can't explain it to you, because I haven't figured it out myself." Justin felt that it made sense, but no matter what the situation was, it was finally decided that Aimee would be a girl to deal with such a big thing alone, and the other male management would sit in the headquarters office and wait for the result. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think it was authentic.
"Mr. Gupta, finally talk to them about compensation, I think the most effective way is for you to talk. If you talk to anyone else, they will feel that this is not a hole card, and there is a chance to force you out. Justin stared at Gupta with a determined look in his eyes.
"If you feel like you can't talk alone, I can go with you."
"Oh, but I don't speak Mandarin." He suddenly remembered.
Gupta waved his hand, "I won't want you to come with me." But you have a point, when it comes to compensation, I should go. ”
Justin returned to the office, took a hard look at his schedule, and drew a circle on September 16th.
He picked up his phone and called Aimee, but he didn't get through, and it seemed to be on the phone. He sent an email to Aimee, asking her if she could accompany him to see the market on September 16, and in return, he invited her to dinner.
Aimee is indeed on the call, and is with Marcus. He told Aimee that he would not be able to return until two days late.
"You stay in the hotel obediently, don't go out, I asked Adele to come and see you every day, you can tell her if you need anything." He advised.
"No, no, don't bother Adele." She hastened to emphasize. She didn't want people in their company to know that they had this relationship, and she didn't want any possibility of affecting him in the process of promoting centralized procurement.
"That's fine, Darling, you can bear with me for two more days, and I'll be with you when I get back."
When you came back, you saw me with a broken leg and no good skin, and I don't know if I would want me. Ning Qian, who put down the phone, said silently in her heart.
The phone rang again, it was Lu: "Aimee, Mr. Gupta said that he will come to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, so that you can meet with Shengbai the next morning to talk about iced tea." You quickly made an appointment with the other party, and you will confirm with me when you come back. ”
Marcus was happy to see Aimee call again so soon: "Honey, you miss me so much? ”
"This time it's not about personal matters, it's about work. Our general manager would like to make an appointment with you at 9:00 a.m. on September 11 and Thursday to meet in your company to talk about iced tea cooperation. ”
"This is my first working time when I just returned to Shanghai, okay, for you, I'll leave this time to your general manager! Don't come, just stay in the hotel and recuperate. As soon as I return to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, I will come to see you poor little one. ”
Aimee immediately confirmed with Lu the time to meet on Thursday morning. When Lu told Gupta, both of them looked smug with understanding.
Ning Qian turned on the computer and saw many emails that had not been replied to in time. She opened one by one and replied one by one.
On September 16th, Justin is coming to see the market? I just don't know if I can guarantee the efficiency of the market. Ning Qian sighed. But Dad said that major illnesses can be small, minor illnesses will be eliminated, minor injuries will not be in the line of fire, and it is okay to be on crutches, just a little slower, it is better than not going. So she replied: Warm welcome! You set a specific time, and our Shanghai office will be reviewed by the boss! "Justin's Chinese is not good and always encourages Aime to communicate with him in Chinese. But to be honest, Justin's Chinese level, which is also an American citizen, is indeed incomparable to Marcus.
Marcus's smile appeared in front of him again, it turned out that being loved by someone was like stuffing a big soft pillow in his heart, full and warm...... She collapsed on the bed relaxed, imagining herself hugging the big pillow and wrapping herself in the big quilt......
She dialed Marcus' extension, listened to his mesmerizing voice, and then left a message: "Marcus, I don't know if this is the first message you've received since you enabled voicemail. Whether it is or not, I want to tell you...... Well...... In the new office, enjoy work, and have fun every day! Yes, happy every day, that's my blessing! She wanted to say: I want to tell you – I'm so happy to be with you! But it's a work call, and it's not good if someone else hears it, so let's get it official.
It was late in the evening, and Marcus was still in a meeting with the management of the joint venture in the field. The general manager and department manager of the joint venture company were overwhelmed by the ability of the purchasing director from the headquarters to continue to fight. He really wanted to be able to finish his work in two days and rush back to Shanghai.
