Chapter 713: Down-and-Out Elite
"Mr. Jiang, Chongyang, you ...... Are you alright? Lu Qiran asked with great concern.
Jiang He barely curled the corners of his mouth, and responded in a low voice: "Qiran, don't call me Mr. Jiang." Now that you are the general manager of Huo's Group, I should call you Mr. Lu! ”
Lu Qiran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't say that!" My manager is a few pounds and a few taels, and I know it very well in my own heart. No matter what time it is, you are the only candidate for general manager in my heart, and this will not change! ”
"Thank you, Qiran! People see the truth in times of trouble, and today I finally realized the true meaning of this sentence. Are you right, Chongyang? ”
Hearing Jiang He hand the words to his side, Liu Chongyang nodded a little slowly: "That's right." To tell you the truth, since the last incident, you were the first company colleague to invite us to dinner. When those people in the branch usually saw us, they all said hello and quickly slipped away, and they didn't even want to leave us a chance to talk. Alas! This is the world! ”
Lu Qiran comforted seriously: "Chongyang, don't think about things so pessimistically. I know the people in the branch, they are usually cautious at the grassroots level. At first glance, when you see someone going down from the headquarters, you will inevitably be a little nervous. After a long time, they will naturally become enthusiastic. ”
Liu Chongyang smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "You don't have to comfort me." Isn't more than a month long enough? You went to the branch at the time, and it was not at all the same as we are now. Truth be told, I don't expect them to change their attitude in the future. As long as you don't give me and Mr. Jiang small shoes to wear, thank God. ”
At this point, Lu Qiran didn't know how to continue the conversation for a while. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being cold, he quickly got out of the way and led the two colleagues to the place where he had dinner today.
This is a good restaurant, because it is close to the meal, and there are already many customers in the store. Lu Qiran led Jiang He and Liu Chongyang and went straight to the private room. When he opened the door and let the two of them in. Jiang He and the others never expected that there was already another guest in the private room at this time, and they had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Mr. Jiang, Manager Liu, don't come unharmed!" It was none other than Huo Huai'an who was smiling kindly.
"Mr. Huo?!" Jiang He's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "You...... How did you get here? ”
Huo Huaian replied with a smile: "I heard that Qiran was going to invite you to dinner, so I wanted to come over to meet you." If you don't welcome me, I'll be able to leave here right away. With that, Huo Huai'an stood up and made a gesture of going out.
"Oh, Mr. Huo! Hurry up and stay! Liu Chongyang stopped in front of Huo Huai'an, and asked with a wry smile: "How can we not welcome you?" The reason why Mr. Jiang asked like that just now is because we can't believe that there will be senior leaders of the company who will take the initiative to meet us at such a time. This...... What a surprise! ”
"I see." Huo Huai'an still smiled and nodded, and then said quite naturally: "Since you are willing to see me, then I will stay and talk to you about my heart." At today's dinner, only colleagues have no superiors and subordinates. If you have any ideas, you can tell me whatever you want, and you don't need to have any mental burden, understand? ”
Hearing this, Jiang He and Liu Chongyang looked at each other, and then nodded with complicated expressions.
The food and drinks were soon served, everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere gradually got rid of the inhibitions at the beginning and became much more active.
After three glasses of wine, Huo Huaian calmly asked the two subordinates: "What are your feelings after you went to the branch, can you tell me more about it?" ”
Liu Chongyang's face was slightly red, and he asked with a wry smile: "Do you want to listen to such a miserable thing?" ”
"What you think is miserable may have another interpretation for me. Tell me, I'm not going to laugh at you. ”
After getting the silent consent of Jiang He beside him, Liu Chongyang continued to drink and began to tell his mental journey during this time.
In Liu Chongyang's entire narration, he admitted the mistakes he had made, and was very remorseful for dragging Jiang He into the water. He confessed that he often had nightmares about it, and he still reluctantly reluctantly to this day.
"I don't understand, how can a little girl who is not in the world have such great ability? Where the hell did she go? Why haven't there been any clues until now?! ”
Lu Qiran knew that the object of Liu Chongyang's accusation was the disappeared Ding Lu. He sighed and muttered, "Not only her, but also her brother and your good friend Ding Qiang don't know where to go." This brother and sister are really interesting, as if they have evaporated from the world together......"
"Don't mention good friends to me!" Liu Chongyang suddenly said angrily: "He Ding Qiang is a complete liar!" Big bastard! One day I must catch him with my own hands and ask him with my fist why he has made me so miserable! ”
When Huo Huai'an next to him heard this, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "It's a pity, you will never have this kind of opportunity." ”
Jiang He saw that Liu Chongyang's emotions were a little out of control, and hurriedly spoke to comfort the other party. Liu Chongyang raised his wine glass, drank another large glass of wine, and then continued his story.
The next stage is even more difficult for him and Jiang He. From a company celebrity who is in power to a "prisoner under the ladder" who no one cares about, there is infinite bitterness in this, which is impossible to fully explain in words. So Liu Chongyang added one more way of telling, that is-crying.
When it came to the sad part, this dignified seven-foot man cried with tears streaming down his face. Even Lu Qiran couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he saw this scene, and he almost cried with the other party.
Huo Huai'an sighed deeply, looking very uncomfortable in his heart. He instructed Lu Qiran to comfort Liu Chongyang with him, and only then did he feel a little at ease until the other party's mood gradually stabilized.
"Manager Liu, Mr. Jiang, I can fully understand your feelings. Because I've had a similar experience to you before. It's not easy to get from the trough to the top, but it's even more difficult to get from the top to the trough. I am here today to tell you that you should not give up hope, no matter what. Evaluate your talents, and you will definitely be able to make a comeback and develop your ambitions again in the future! ”
Although Huo Huai'an's words were very encouraging, because Jiang He and Liu Chongyang's mentality had been blinded by negative dust for too long, their fighting spirit still did not reach the ignition point of recovery.
"Mr. Huo, thank you for your encouragement! Actually, to be honest, I've figured it out. Without leaving the Huo Group, as long as your younger brother continues to be the president, we will never have a turnaround. Because, he doesn't want to trust us anymore. ”
