Chapter 73: Willing to be at ease

On March 1, 2009, I came to Suzhou from self-exile from the Nanchang headquarters of the pharmaceutical group, and when I first arrived in Suzhou, I only had 50 yuan left on me...... In the days that followed, the unforgettable Meilu complex once made me extremely eager to enter the Meilu Suzhou company to work, like me who recognize (corporate) culture, understand products, are familiar with the market and hate high-level ex-Meilu people, it stands to reason that the company's business department is quite in need. The senior director of operations of Kemeilu Suzhou told me through a friend that since the "Yang Tai (former director of the national business department of Meilu China) incident", the company has strictly put an end to the entry of ex-Meilu people, because there will always be lingering interest group shadows behind former Meilu people. The idea of an alternative return to the United States came to an abrupt end.

At the beginning of January 2010, in order to avoid the fate of being promoted and transferred out of Suzhou, and in order to be able to complete the serialization with all my might, I chose to resign. After that, the bumpy experience of applying for a job in Suzhou gave me a deeper understanding of Meilu and more reflections......

Meilu people have the best professional ethics, if they are not hired, they will only review themselves if they don't make money, they don't work hard enough, they don't learn enough, they don't have enough ability, they don't change enough, and they don't have the right methods...... HR in traditional companies wants their employees to do this the most. When former Meilu people try to return to tradition and apply for jobs after leaving Meilu, HR will say: "Isn't Meilu rich and idle?" So what else are you out of here for? "Is it because HR doesn't know enough about Meilu, or is Meilu's reputation too bad in society? You say you're successful, so why do you have to come out to work again? You say you're not successful, so is it because Meilu can't do it or you can't? Either you say that Meilu deceived you, in fact, this business is a scam from beginning to end, then it can only mean that there is something wrong with your IQ. No matter how you answer, you are dead, why bother to take yourself and get hurt again? Therefore, in order to find a job as soon as possible, when submitting your resume, it is better to completely erase your experience in Meilu. If the time is short, it can be directly omitted, and the long time is simply changed to insurance, after all, in today's society, the reputation of insurance is not bad.

After seven years, the return is long and painful, because for the whole seven years, you live a life of near-isolation, only socializing with American passers-by or quasi-American passers-by, talking only about topics related to success, and only caring about the distant future...... No matter what kind of profession you had before Meilu, Meilu's career has completely ended your previous career plan, and these years of non-cannibalism will eventually be left out by the industry experience. Before Meilu, I had at least four years of work experience in many fields, and in contrast, those students who worked in Meilu as soon as they graduated from college or even before graduation were the most victimized...... After leaving the American Road, on the contrary, the bottom 3%, 6%, and 9% of the American Road live more chicly, they have never gotten anything in the American Road, and the time is short and the injury is shallow, so after leaving, there is naturally no burden, and the integration is fast. Once you have it, and then let it go, it's not that easy.

Why do many award-winning people always go around in the circle of MLM after leaving Meilu? Because they can no longer sink down to do those so-called ordinary things. In this field, everyone overestimates themselves to the point of not being able to accept a lot of facts...... A few days ago, he had been discussing these topics with a senior drill in active duty, and he said that he knew very well that he could only survive in the United States, and he really couldn't do anything else. With an annual gross income of only 700,000 yuan, he has been in the city for more than 20 years, and Meilu has been in the city for 16 years...... Even if you become a crown ambassador, you have no social status, and in this city, the crown ambassador usually earns four or five million a year, and you can't even enter the ranks of the rich...... He knew all this, but he couldn't get rid of it.

When I first left Meilu, my brain was always dizzy, when I was doing Meilu, I supported Meilu more than anyone else, the more I looked at the system, the more I felt perfect, how could there be such a earth-shaking change after leaving? Did Meilu "brainwash" or did it really let negative thoughts take over the soul? Let's watch "The Matrix" again, I watched it again several times after I left the American Road. Zhuangzi dreamed that he had become a butterfly, and after waking up, Zhuangzi was confused, did he dream of becoming a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream become himself? I believe that many former American passers-by will have the feeling of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, and they are a little unable to distinguish the real world. But what is real? Should we thank Meilu or scold Meilu? This kind of feeling is something that outsiders such as scholars have never experienced. The scholar brother reveals the beauty road through theory and logic, while we reveal the beauty road through the practice of the flesh, we are the "traitors" bred from the mother's body like Mephis and Neo, and the scholar brother is the person who Zion was born to attack the mother's body. If Meilu is the mother, then what is the world after we come out? Is it still real?

The real world is good, maybe cruel, maybe painful, it is Meilu that makes us understand life, love, cherish, ordinary is happiness...... Should these be credited to Meilu? If we don't do Meilu, maybe we will not understand it until we are 60 years old, but the reality of Meilu makes us understand it so early, is this the so-called growth and harvest of Meilu? Meilu magnifies our dreams to the point that the traditional industry can no longer accommodate us, and then return to the tradition, will we really do it steadfastly, and will not be taken away by other temptations? Meilu made us precocious, perhaps, we should really be thankful, sincerely. But how many people like me can be free from the mind? Not much. Financial and opportunity losses are small things, but not derailing mentally is a big thing. The biggest trauma of Meilu is the psyche, and I may never fully recover because the wound will scab over and will always leave a scar. Therefore, for more ordinary people, the damage caused by Meilu will be greater. Or we should always believe that a lifetime of beauty is happiness, but there will always be a day when you wake up, and when there is a day, you can no longer hold on financially...... But if that's the case, you may not be able to get up for the rest of your life. Perhaps, some people who are very financially well-off can live like this forever.

I've been on diamonds anyway, and there's something to be proud of, no direct financial loss, no debt, but what about the others? Those who have never even been awarded a silver medal have the ability and honor in the United States? In addition to the pain and the pain. And I can still recall the applause, flowers, and cheers on the stage, and those eventful years. On the one hand, he hates Meilu, but on the other hand, he secretly enjoys the so-called sense of accomplishment that used to be self-comforting in the soul. It is difficult to forget the glory of the past, but also regret the lost youth, and it is even more difficult to forget the souls that withered in front of their eyes.

There is a line in the TV series "The Way of Heaven": People have to fundamentally face two problems, one is survival, that is, to live; The second is to answer the value of life...... You still have to grasp the present, you can't always chase the castle in the sky. An annual salary of one million is too illusory in the United States, but in the tradition, especially in the current era of knowledge economy, it is not as far away as you and I think.

Although my Diamond Award was only systematically recognized in September 2006, Yahan was recognized as a Diamond by the company as early as 2004. And the experience of working hard together began when the team only had seven or eight guns, and at that time, Yahan's actual award was only 12%. Of course, a lot of active U.S. passers attack me for not being a diamond — and as far as the company is concerned, I'm certainly not; But in terms of systems, abilities, and experience, I'm more diamond than a lot of diamonds...... If you really know what a beauty road is. Don't people often say that it's not that you are a diamond if you do it today, but that you have become a diamond when you haven't done it yet? Aren't there many leaders who instruct the team to call themselves a certain drill in order to encourage themselves and motivate the team when they are preparing to drill drills? According to this logic, shouldn't someone like me, who has been recognized by the system for a long time, be more likely to be a diamond? If it weren't for giving up the award and leaving the United States, how respectfully they would have taken the book and recorded my quotations in the audience, and it was their turn to let loose here today?

Looking back on the past seven years, I feel that my Meilu is abiding by the corporate culture, but within Meilu, abiding by the culture is destined to be incompatible with the requirements of the system, so it is foreseeable that a rational romantic like me will leave. When I got to know the taste of sorrow, I wanted to talk about it, but I said that the weather was cool and autumn - this is the feeling in my heart seven years later. Why are there so many refugees in every system? Why is it that every system has so many "corpses" that follow the wrong system and go the wrong way? Why is it that every system has to be the top few to succeed? In fact, the answer to the pearl "cloth tiger" children's shoes has already been told to everyone, that is: there is no right answer to the wrong question! Yes, this is exactly the problem that Meilu has always been difficult to face!

Let's look forward! If you can afford to put it down, it is weightlifting, and if you can afford to put it down, it is weight-bearing! It's okay to be a weightlifter, don't be a weight-bearing mule for the rest of your life! Finally able to let go of the beauty road, true self-confidence is not only the courage to win in the face of difficulties, but also the calmness at all times without fear of loss...... Only if you are willing to let go; Let go, in order to be at ease.

A few nights ago, I went to pick up my mother from work as usual, accompanied her to Yuanrong Times Square, watched the Tianmu movie, and ate Pizza Hut, and then went to the Kewen Center to watch a movie together. This is just a very ordinary night for us, and life has been going on......

We didn't have a camera, and that's because a pizza is nothing to photograph, and as long as you're not at the bottom of society, I think anyone can afford to eat a "kaifeng dish" or a Pizza Hut, and even more so for beef noodles. I was laughing when Pizza Hut was holding a knife and fork to divide the cake, and my mother asked me what I was laughing at, and I said that successful people in Meilu like to take pictures of what they want to swallow in their stomachs before moving their knives and forks, and then upload them, in their opinion, this is a very successful way of life, and it is very worthy of showing off to the downline. Because most of the people in the United States are poor, it is also necessary to upload a photo of a bowl of beef noodles, not to mention an Italian delicacy worth 56 yuan that looks like Xinjiang naan with meat. So, we are enjoying the life of a successful person in Meilu...... The circle mother smiled, and the successful life of most American passers-by is probably like this.

After two and a half years of leaving Meilu, I bought a car and a house, although I haven't renovated or gotten married, but in the two and a half years since I left, my new life has finally started again. Although I still feel that I am poor and not financially well-off, I am richer and more comfortable than ever.

There was no trace of wings in the sky, but the birds had flown by; My heart has not been cut by a knife, but the pain is so clear. These softest parts of the chest, the wounds that have been hurt by Meilu, are far sharper than the injuries suffered by those limbs, and perhaps only time can heal slowly.

The ruthless facts are very different from the successful ideas advocated by Meiluzhong, is it true that everyone can get a diamond? Amorous is always blown away by the rain and wind, or wake up, is Meilu's success really so clean? Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said: "It's harder to be kind than to be smart." Cleverness is a talent, and kindness is a choice, talent is innate, and the choice is quite difficult. The most unforgivable mistake you can make as a commander is to bring your soldiers to a corner! So, I chose to disband the individual team...... Charging into battle is the nature of a soldier, but ordering a retreat at a critical moment requires the wisdom and courage of a commander.

Lies written in ink can't hide the fact that they are written in blood, and perhaps, only after the tide recedes, will you really know who is swimming naked! Farewell, Meilu, this is the most rational choice in my life, just like when I first joined; Farewell, Meilu, goodbye, or the next life!

Balzac's epitaph reads: Loved, lived, wrote. The beauty of laughing is finally over, but the beauty of countless people is still continuing......
