Chapter 42: Promotion

With the end of a battle, we also ushered in a brief respite. At this time, there was news from the head office that the local region could select key members on its own, which also meant that the imperial era was changing imperceptibly, and a new management system was about to be rolled out.

The sky changed suddenly, a few families were happy and a few were worried! The general manager invited us out to dinner before the monthly break, and his intention was self-evident. Luo Qian and Zhou Haoran are still so harmless toasting and flattering, and only a very few people like me have begun to cultivate obscurity, secretly forming private parties, and wanting to overthrow the regime and change the dynasty.

Manager Zheng, who is in his 40s at the Eight Immortals Table, is in his prime, and when he was transferred to take over a year ago, he coerced and enticed us to torture us. But in the face of the harsh taxes in the workplace, we little clerks really have nothing to do but swallow our anger. When the top management began to inact, the entire management atmosphere corroded, causing the people to complain everywhere......

Of course, my exposition is exaggerated. Anyway, he was extremely dissatisfied with the upper echelons, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to drill up and dominate.

"Colleagues, it's been hard these days, Zheng respects you" Manager Zheng twisted his eyebrows, picked up the goblet and bowed to us slightly, didn't look at us, and drank it all with his head held high.

In fact, we are the sixth batch of employees that Manager Zheng entertained here, and he has long lost his passion when he holds the wine glass, that is, he has gone through the process step by step. After all, at the year-end speech, each of us voted for his career.

"Manager Zheng is polite, if you have anything to say, just say it, and break the bank, this is ......"

A colleague patted his ass and stood there with an empty wine glass in his hand, with a cramp-like smile on his face.

Manager Zheng pressed his hand domineeringly, lit a cigarette and leaned back on the chair to look around: "Nothing else, I just want to get together with everyone, colleagues!" Have a meal, have a chat, and also look close relatives, right? ”

Xiao Liu, who was sitting next to me, suddenly stood up, held a wine glass and said, "It is our honor that Manager Zheng is kind to his subordinates and treats us as friends!" …… Come, let's all toast Manager Zheng with a glass of wine, okay? ”

I wasn't too reluctant, but everyone stood up with their glasses in their glasses and had to go along with the crowd. But Manager Zheng just loosened his tie, leaned back in the chair and drank the red wine in the wine cup with his head held high, and there was even a little impatience in his eyes.

After toasting, I quietly asked Xiao Liu next to me: "When he deducted your year-end bonus, why didn't you say that you were honored?" ”

"Eh! Lao Lu, isn't this an occasion! Xiao Liu raised his eyebrows as he spoke: "Old Lu, let's have one of them?" ”

At the end of the banquet, I sent the drunk Luo Qian home, and his husband took him to the guard court. The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and at this time, Luo Qian said to me drunken and hazy: "Xiao Xia, let it go, my sister supports you." ”

I don't know why, but suddenly the tip of my nose was sore, and my eyes were wet. I took it as a joke, shrugged my shoulders at his husband, and turned back to the car. But before she could sit down, Luo Qian leaned on my car window again, squinted her eyes with a smile and said, "Next month, Xiaoxue will come, you are ready to prepare."

“……”

Many times, in my eyes, Luo Qian is my own sister, even closer than my own sister. And if you look at my two brothers, they never ask me about my life and life events, and they may forget that they have a younger brother.

Once, my sister-in-law introduced me to a blind date and called me to meet at home. My eldest brother cast a sympathetic gaze and said, "The third brother, we are still young, and the blind date is embarrassing, so let's go fishing with me."

My eldest brother runs a large shopping mall, and he has long been considered a successful person in his career, but this kind of person is very indifferent to family affection and will not deliberately pave the way for you. His theory is that people must be independent, and only independent can think. A chef who works in a big hotel is no better than a roadside kebab vendor. Because when you're an employee, all you think about is making money for someone else.

I didn't have their business acumen, and I even resisted their protection after college, so I was always very independent. That's the only thing I'm proud of.

After sending Luo Qian back home, I began to sort out the materials again to meet various exams. Later, Zhao Qian came to knock on the door and led her daughter who was walking crookedly.

"Why are you here?" I was a little surprised.

"Come and see you?" Zhao Qian tilted her face and smiled slightly.

I took one look at the little girl she had brought with me and went to the bedroom to get candy for her.

"Uncle please eat candy"

The little girl was afraid of life and hid behind her mother's legs. But I couldn't help but be curious, and looked at me with half a face, and my eyes swept over the candy in my hand from time to time.

"She's so nice," I said.

"It's skinned, it's just born with you."

I poured Zhao Qian a cup of tea, and the two of them talked for a while. Her daughter fell asleep in her arms, her hands around her mother's neck, looking clingy, and she refused to let her mother go when she fell asleep.

"What's her name?" I looked at the little girl and raised my chin and asked.

Zhao Qian groaned and said, "You call her a girl." ”

"Well, it's a very loving name, and she is a good match!"

"I was in pain when I was pregnant, and my husband said she was like a tumor and I could get rid of it when I took it out. Later, she was given this name. 'Girl', 'Tumor'"

I felt evasive and asked in surprise, "How can anyone say that about your own children?" ”

Zhao Qian smiled and stroked her daughter's hair: "But I found it more painful when I was born, she was too clingy, she had to follow her all the time, and she couldn't leave her body for a second." ”

"It's good to grow up slowly"

"Maybe!" ……

After graduating from college, Zhao Qian gave up everything and came to Feishi to find me. At that time, I secretly swore that I would protect this girl for the rest of my life, no matter how difficult the future was.

Later we stayed together and treated each other with respect. Half a year later, in the presence of my colleagues, I proposed to her, and at that time I began to decorate the wedding room and buy furniture. Until now, the layout and style of my home are still her idea, even the rags and tissue boxes are bought by her.

At that time, we all thought that this was the end of this life, and no one else would break in.

Until disaster struck, she and I betrayed our oaths. No one becomes the only one for whom, and no one pinchs anyone up. It seems that they have just experienced a luxurious dream, waking up with their bags on their backs and heading to different distances......

……

The next day, I went to work as usual, clocked in at the office, and got the copywriting. Little did I know that a conspiracy and trap were slowly looming my way......

When Manager Zheng came to the office, he successively called a few colleagues to the office to talk. I was no exception, at eleven o'clock, the blinds of the glass partition wall were opened again, and what appeared on the opposite side was Manager Zheng's hostile eyes.

"Xiao Xia, you've been in the company for a long time, how is it? Do you want to be promoted? ”

Manager Zheng asked maliciously, and I even saw a sly smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.

"There must be! A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and I'm also self-motivated. ”

Seeing me say this, Manager Zheng's eyes became even more arrogant, as if he had seen through me, and began to despise and disdain.

"It's a good thing for young people to be self-motivated, you are highly educated and young, and you will definitely do something in the future. …… Right now, there is an opportunity, after I have repeatedly screened, I think that you are the only one in the whole company, I hope you can take advantage of it. ……”

Later, Manager Zheng told me that there were two winning cases in Lujiang County to be started, and I was arranged to be a small supervisor in the past. As soon as I heard this, my head swelled, and I felt a sense of frustration that someone had lost the king's bomb.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the so-called little supervisor is to go over there to supervise the decoration of the Crystal Palace, and it is not pleasing to be tired, and even the salary will shrink. This is a typical bright rise and dark fall, suppressed in disguise.

At night, I invited Luo Qian and Zhou Haoran to the food stall to discuss countermeasures. The three of them studied it and found that there were no flaws in this game, unless they resigned.

"Lu Xia, you're just too sharp, you know?" Zhou Haoran reproached: "Do you know why it's you?" Because you have invisibly posed a threat to him, the day you have you, he will not feel safe. ”

Luo Qian held her head to sort out the whole thing, gasped and said, "How did Lao Zheng know that you were going to take the middle school exam?" Says who? ”

"Do you still need to think about it? It must have been the same people who had been to the office in the morning. I took a sip of beer and crackled the can.

"Eighty percent is Xiao Liu, that guy is the most unreliable." Zhou Haoran began to speculate, and scolded several colleagues one after another.

At this time, Luo Qian shook her head and said: "Actually, no one needs to talk about it, Lao Zheng is not a fool, he must pick a person with an education and pinch it to make an example." Lu Xia is this chicken. ”

I was so uncomfortable with her metaphor that I changed the subject and said, "It's not important anymore, it's important what to do now." I don't want to drive two hours a day to work in that county, so you can help me figure it out. ”

"What can be done? You kid accept your fate" Zhou Haoran frowned helplessly, picked up the wine jar and stretched out to me: "Huh~!" Director Lui. ”

I didn't give him an angry look, but I still picked up the wine jar and bumped into him.

"I don't think that's a bad thing!" Luo Qian secretly thought to herself, as if she had some dangerous idea.

"What do you mean by that? Miss Luo. Zhou Haoran asked.

Luo Qian frowned and thought about it, looked at me and said, "Actually, this is an opportunity, I have an idea, it's a bit risky." ”

"What's the idea?" Zhou Haoran and I were very much looking forward to it, so we leaned in and asked.

"'Bright rise and dark fall'! Let's not care about descending, isn't there still a word 'up'? ”

Luo Qian pondered for a long time and said: "No matter how small the director is, he is also the director, and we are all just clerks now, so we are also management, right?" It doesn't matter if this official position has real power or not, it is also a professional title! This can be used as a springboard to rush to Manager Zheng's seat. ”

"Holy! Luo Qian, you're crazy! Zhou Haoran's jaw dropped in shock, and he immediately looked at me and said, "Lu Xia, don't listen to this crazy woman deceiving people here, let's two drink." ”

Zhou Haoran raised the wine jar as he spoke, but was slapped to the ground by Luo Qian: "Why am I a crazy woman?" ”

"Isn't it crazy that the little clerk is competing with the number one?" Zhou Haoran pointed at me as he spoke, and said, "Even if he is now a supervisor, do you know how many levels there are in a supervisor?" Further up, there are managers, deputy managers, directors, deputy directors and ...... of various departments. As long as Lao Zheng does not collapse for a day, he will die if he jumps to any position. ”

"That's why I have to make a desperate bet and bring down Lao Zheng at one time," Luo Qian said fiercely.

In fact, although I am self-motivated, I also think it is a fantasy to step into the position of general manager. At this time, it made me realize that my situation was very bad, just like Zhou Haoran said, as long as Lao Zheng did not collapse for a day, he would have any reason to suppress me, and even force me to resign.

Thinking of this, I was also desperate, and poured two sips of beer to say goodbye and said, "Forget it, I'd better quit, I just don't want to do it anymore!" ”

The two of them looked at me and frowned, looking at each other. The October night was cold, and in the smoke and dust of the food stalls, the three of us pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and the more we drank, the more we were distracted, and we began to pull some of the things that were not there.

Zhou Haoran said: "You can change careers and open a food stall, Luo Qian and I will give you a hand after work, but you have to pay your salary, and you have to have wine and meat." ”

I scoffed, "Why should I ask you to pay your salary?" There are female college students in the talent market who can't find a job, please come back as an employee, maybe you can meet a good look... Boom......"

I hiccuped when I said this, Zhou Haoran shook his head in disgust, and said to Luo Qian: "This thing definitely can't be a leader, so I started thinking about the unspoken rules." ”

Luo Qian punched Zhou Haoran drunk and hazy, and explained for me: "He wants to say...... If you meet a good look, you can marry home and be a wife! ”

I giggled and waved my hand: "I want to say: if you meet a good person, you can stand at the door as a welcome and pull business!" ”

"Hypocrisy! ……”
