Chapter 287: Surfacing

July is a beautiful season, there are ancient poems, toads in the shadow of thousands of autumns, crickets in the sound of July picture. Ten thousand flutes and drums are even lit, and there is no matter in the coming year. Also, July is in the wild, August is in Yu, I don't know the heat, but I cherish the beauty of the long summer.

This is my favorite season, but also inspiring, not slack month, mixed in the city life, there are a lot of helplessness, which is mixed with countless mixed tastes, it is this kind of sadness and depression, to achieve a person's character and quality, but also let a lot of prodigal sons, learn to be left and right, low-key life.

In the last price war, although the other side repelled the aggressive provocation of the other side, the company also suffered huge economic losses, compared with the previous business situation, now it feels very difficult.

Throw away staff expenses, water and electricity costs, store leasing costs, office space costs, taxes, dotting costs, clothing costs, daily expenses, advertising costs, etc., opening the door to do business is by no means as simple as you think.

The company is facing an unprecedented economic crisis, after the last business trouble, the store's operating income has declined sharply, the door is cold and sparse, and the Internet is noisy, which seriously affects the company's profit income, some employees resigned from their positions, decisively jumped ship, some are looking for a new way out, and even some employees spread rumors, saying that the company is about to go bankrupt and go bankrupt, in response to this situation, Zhang Xueyao is ruthless, and purged a large number of employees who are not loyal to the company.

As the so-called big waves of sand history for the present, the people who stay are always the old employees who love their work and are loyal to their duties, they are my confidants and right-hand men.

Everyone fell into a sense of crisis, only Gu Han was extremely excited, and there was a gloating expression, which made Qin Li and Zhang Xueyao very annoyed, and they reported to me in private, saying that Gu Han's behavior was strange, and the company's bad words came out of her mouth.

At first, I didn't believe it, but a phone call from Brother Scum completely woke up my fantasy.

"Now the business is sluggish, the sales performance is not optimistic, you should not be discouraged, withstand the pressure, at least we won the war."

Brother Scum's hoarse and haggard voice came from the phone, and I was a little sad, but I still smiled and said, "It's okay Brother Scum, you have to worry a lot at the headquarters, and I'm looking for you to drink when I'm done with this time." ”

"Excuse me, drinking is a trivial matter, the top priority is to clean up the company's internal ghosts, and there is no time to delay, if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that within half a year, the company will completely collapse."

Brother Scumbag sighed, but his heart was still calm and calm, without the slightest panic.

I asked in a low voice, "Brother scumbag, is it really Gu Han?" ”

"That's right, I installed a trustworthy colleague in the human resources department, and did an in-depth investigation of Gu Han's every move, and found that she actually had four mobile phone numbers, and three of them were not handled in this city, in the interval between Gu Han's overtime and sleep, I asked the colleague to look through one of the mobile phones, retrieved the call records, and her frequent phone numbers, there are only three, the first is the landline at the front desk of the company, the second is your mobile phone number, and the third is an unfamiliar number."

I frowned and hurriedly asked him, "Have you investigated this strange number?" ”

Brother Scumbag pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It's been investigated, it's..."

"Who is it?"

I was a little impatient, and I was vaguely uneasy.

"It's a man named Zhou Yang, and there's one thing I don't know whether to say or not."

Brother Scumbag hesitated, as if he didn't want to say the next paragraph.

I was anxious and asked in a low voice: "Brother scumbag, this is the case in the company, if there is anything you can't say, you just have to talk about it." ”

Brother Scumbag coughed lightly and said lightly: "Last time, Liu Qiang investigated the clothing company that competed with us, saying that it was made of daily necessities and kitchen supplies, the full name of the company is Fenghua Trading Group, and only one of its subsidiaries is engaged in the garment industry, and the general manager and person in charge of this company is your good friend, Sun Kai." ”

I stood up with a hula and knocked over the water glass on the desk, Qin Xiaolan pushed the door in, looked at me and said, "Are you okay?" ”

The tea splashed on my clothes, and I rubbed my hand and said, "It's okay, you go out first, I'll be looking for you in a while." ”

Qin Xiaolan pursed his lips and turned to leave again.

I thought for a moment and said, "Brother scum, what do you mean is that Gu Han is a ghost arranged by Zhou Yang to our company, and Sun Kai..."

"That's right, Sun Kai is your competitor and a pawn under Zhou Yang."

Brother Scumbag said lightly, I became more and more confused when I listened, so I asked him, "But, why did Sun Kai help him?" ”

"Then I don't know, but I'm sure that Sun Kai must have an unknown handle to be used by Zhou Yang, and there is also a possibility that Sun Kai deliberately made an enemy of you and took the initiative to find Zhou Yang to discuss cooperation, which caused today's situation, just imagine, did Sun Kai call you before, or talk to you about some clothing matters."

Brother Scumbag analyzed it in an orderly manner, and I frowned, carefully recalling the estrangement between Sun Kai and me.

"He did talk about the supply of clothing before, and when I was in New York, my first partner was..."

I opened my mouth wide, and finally remembered that at my wedding with Wang Ling, Sun Kai mentioned that he wanted to get involved in the clothing business, and later he intermittently asked me about the purchase channels, but I was perfunctory with my ambiguous rhetoric, but what I never expected was that since he poached my partners, stole company secrets, and put on a competitive battlefield, he was bound to be my enemy.

Brother Scumbag smiled and said: "You don't have to be stunned, there is no treachery or business, this price competition, presumably he has suffered huge losses." ”

"Who is Zhou Yang? Why did you deliberately harm me? ”

I'm a little indignant, I didn't expect to open the door to do business, since I can encounter this kind of absurd thing, I have only seen it on TV before, but now it is like a slideshow, slowly replaying it in front of my eyes, many people can't understand that the reason why society is complicated is because of these insidious and treacherous, calculating people in every way, we are working hard, tired of our bodies, tired of our souls, after all, we can't understand the so-called sinister people's hearts, how bad they are.

Brother Scumbag muttered: "I don't know much about Zhou Yang, it is said that Qin Yan has had contact with him, you might as well talk to him, but in my opinion, the behind-the-scenes manipulator of this matter must be inextricably linked to you, you can recall who you have a holiday with, or who you have hatred with, a little bit of exclusion, it is not difficult to find out the initiator." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, I see, there's Brother Lao to worry about." ”

"You're welcome, I'll be busy first."

Brother Scum was about to hang up the phone, but I hurriedly said, "Brother Scum, wait." ”

"What's wrong?"

Brother Scumbag was a little surprised, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Wang Ling, she..."

Brother scumbag sighed and said, "Do you miss your wife?" ”

"That's not it, it's been more than five months, I haven't been able to contact her, she has never called me, and there is no news from Wang Wenwen, I always have a bad premonition."

I lit a cigarette, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, saw the traffic on the road, the street was full of pedestrians, the dry air was wrapped in a gust of hot air, and I got into the office, I closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, and took two puffs of cigarette.

Brother Scumbag laughed and said, "Aren't you going to divorce her?" I have no thoughts in my heart, and my feelings are weak, and those bad premonitions are just mediocre people disturbing themselves and adding troubles, if you want me to say, for the sake of the children, it is better for you to mention the divorce less, after all, it is not easy to form a family, and the father-in-law is not bad for you, so don't pick the fat and the thin, and find yourself unhappy. ”

I frowned sadly, sighed and said: "Brother scumbag, my hunch is not from marriage, Wang Ling and I are destined to not go far, I still had a glimmer of hope for her before, but after seeing her ambiguous relationship with Li Hao, I completely gave up." ”

Qin Li knocked on the door and walked in, he sat on the sofa with his butt on his shoulder, and his thin cheeks also had a touch of grievance.

I chatted with the scumbag for a few more words and ended the call.

Seeing Qin Yan put on a sad and bitter look, I smiled and said, "What's the matter, Master Qin, is your relationship frustrated, or is your work not going well?" ”

I brought a towel and wiped the water stains off the table.

"Brother, I proposed to Xue Yao."

He said with a sigh of relief, his expression becoming more and more indifferent.

I was a little curious, so I asked him, "Is that a good thing, and she agreed?" ”

"I was rejected, just because I don't have a house, I've been thinking a lot lately, if Xue Yao marries me, of course I can't go out to rent a house, I went out to visit the sales office a few days ago, there is no house I like in this city, and I have to go back to the head office to buy it."

He said indignantly, glancing at me from time to time.

I heard the meaning of his words, before I promised to pay the down payment for the house for him, but now it has not been implemented, because the work is too busy, coupled with the breakdown of the relationship, there are many trivial matters, I can only delay again and again, but now I have no ability to think about him, if I divorce Wang Ling, I will not get anything, only the newly bought car, if the company's efficiency is sluggish, I am afraid that I will have to move to the basement to live.

I looked at him, smiled bitterly and said, "Qin Li, I promised you, I will never regret it, don't worry, wait for me to slow down, after this time, we are talking about the down payment." ”

"Brother, I didn't ask you for money, Xue Yao is cold to me now, and she is not as enthusiastic as before, I want to marry her as soon as possible, and I will avoid the trouble of thinking about it, do you know what kind of mood it is to be rejected for a marriage proposal?"

He said aggrievedly, his words were choked, his expression was indifferent, and he was a little pitiful.

I sighed and said, "Isn't Xue Yao that temperamental, usually at work, she still yells at me, maybe she has been busy with affairs recently, she is a little powerless, you propose to her at this juncture, and it is normal to be rejected." ”

Qin Yan rubbed his eyes and said: "What's even more hateful is that my parents still let me go back to my hometown city, even if I have a serious job here, they don't admit that I can soar, the problem of the house, I and their two elders grinded their mouths, and they didn't agree to pay the down payment for me, hum, this is also good, I broke my thoughts, I simply won't go back in the future, and I will never set foot in that house." ”

"What you said is angry, how can the old people not think about their children, they want you to return to your hometown city, no matter what you do, you can take care of it, in their eyes, you are still a child who has not grown up, sometimes you have to understand their hard work."

I patiently persuaded him, thinking of Zhou Yang and Sun Kai's dealings, I asked him again: "By the way, last time you said, a person named Zhou Yang approached you and wanted to obtain the company's confidential information, but you refused, think about it, who is this matter related to?" ”

Qin Yan didn't think about it and said, "Of course it's a noble lady, that old witch is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
