The meeting lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, and finally Zhang Kun pinched the bridge of his nose, looked at the in-service leaders of Tongyuan with different expressions, and said: "I think I expressed it very clearly, and the wishes of your General Manager Jiang are also very clear." I hope that the plant will enter a new cycle of operation by the third quarter of next year, according to the plan. Until then, I don't want to be here a second time. After speaking, he raised his hand and moved his finger at the secretary behind him, and the secretary immediately contacted the driver to get ready to go.

Zhang Kun passed through like a typhoon, and his impact in Tongyuan was absolutely huge, but a small employee like Shi Jiaojiao couldn't immediately detect it. With her first income after graduation, she adapted to the "winter vacation" of less than ten days and had a smooth New Year. "Ahh Dad said to his daughter who was leaving, her mother packed Shi Jiaojiao's luggage, and laughed at her husband and mother-in-law, "Can people who go to work compare with those who go to school?" ”

This time, Shi Jiaojiao brought a set of "Dream of Red Mansions" given to her by Xia Lei, she used to think it was too long and a classical masterpiece, and she couldn't calm down to read it, but now she just used her spare time to savor it. Sitting on the bus to City B, the car drove out of the city to usher in a wilderness. Outside the car window was the remnants of the heavy snow of the previous night, and on the undulating gray-white horizon, old trees stood with their leaves gone. Lili and Lao Liu sent text messages to ask if they had gotten in the car, and Shi Jiaojiao felt a little sad, because her vacation was suddenly shortened, and the three of them couldn't get together in time, and they didn't even see each other in the New Year.

I heard that in previous years, the workshop holiday was longer than that of the office, but this year it was especially long, and it was not until after the Lantern Festival that the other five roommates came back one after another. On the night when everyone arrived, Shi Jiaojiao participated in their cooking in the dormitory for the first time, using a small rice cooker, and took out her mother's homemade sausages to eat. "You're finally here, the whole building is empty at night, and the road from the bathhouse to the house is really scary!" Shi Jiaojiao held a small bowl and said to everyone.

Last time, the girl with the apricot held chopsticks, covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled: "The guts are as big as a mouse!" Shi Jiaojiao scratched her head embarrassedly, and another eldest sister in her thirties asked Shi Jiaojiao, "Why do you seem to have changed during the New Year, you never opened a small stove with us before!" Shi Jiaojiao replied embarrassedly: "How long have you been together, I know that everyone is a very good person, and I will trouble you to take care of it in the future!" Everyone laughed shyly.

There are two sisters in their early twenties in the dormitory, both of whom are in the hardest and highest paying welding workshop. The younger sister leaned into her sister's ear, and while shyly peeking at Shi Jiaojiao, she said, "She speaks nicely, and she is crepe-like." My sister looked at Shi Jiaojiao and smiled, "College student!" Then he pointed to Shi Jiaojiao's bed, "I see you reading a thick book!" Shi Jiaojiao nodded, "There is a lot of time after work, look at it to pass the time!" ”

At this time, the eldest sister took a slice of sausage, looked around and said: "I guess you can't finish reading this book, I heard my husband's leader say that the factory has been taken over, and it is estimated that there will be layoffs!" Looking at Shi Jiaojiao's surprised expression, the sister added, "Didn't you hear a letter in the office?" My husband said, just lay off your office, and the workers in our workshop have no impact. Shi Jiaojiao really didn't notice it at all, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to carry a big book, planning to read it for a long time.

The next day, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't wait to go to the office and find someone to ask what the sister said. There are not many people who can talk to her, and she can inquire about the news of layoffs and will not attract blame, except for the affectionate front desk girl and a few other departments at the same time, only Wen Jie, who came to the same office half a year earlier than herself. "Who did you listen to?" Wen Jie was obviously taken aback, Shi Jiaojiao said that she heard it from the workshop, Wen Jie saw the supervisor's shadow moving from the big office outside, and hurriedly asked Shi Jiaojiao to do something, "Let's eat together at noon." ”

The two specially chose a corner away from the crowd, and as soon as they sat down, Wen Jie looked around, and whispered: "Even the general manager and factory director are going to be replaced, and the group will send people down." Shi Jiaojiao wanted to ask her how she knew, and it wouldn't be strange to think that her sister-in-law was the department manager. She is most concerned about whether she will be affected, "Then is it really going to be laid off?" Wen Jie raised her eyelids and looked at Shi Jiaojiao for a while, "The executives are definitely going to have a big change, what is the difference between you and me, and the grassroots level of the workshop?" Shi Jiaojiao felt enlightened when she heard this, and immediately laughed stupidly.

Not long after I was relieved, all departments in the office started a large-scale step-by-step interview from top to bottom. The first confidential interview that people found was in the late spring, when the vice president found a backbone of the business department who had worked for six years. After the May Day holiday, Wen Jie was also called by the supervisor to talk. Shi Jiaojiao was the only one left in the office who was not interviewed, and she strongly realized that this conversation must have something to do with layoffs.

Soon into June, the last month of the second quarter. Shi Jiaojiao was finally called to an independent office by the supervisor, and unlike Wen Jie's solicitation of personal attention, she was waiting for a persuasion to leave. All administrative staff who have worked for less than a year are discouraged from retirement due to the development needs of the company. "The company gives you a month to find a new job and a place to live. Of course, the salary is paid in full, and there will be a subsidy. Shi Jiaojiao staggered back to her desk, the supervisor's words still swirling in her head.

I can't believe it, yesterday I was still struggling with whether to apply for a two-person dormitory, and today I was told that I was unemployed.

"Oh my God, your contract was signed on June 1st, but you will be on duty in May, this is too wrong!" While Wen Jie expressed sympathy for Shi Jiaojiao, she also inadvertently exuded the sense of superiority that she was able to leave behind. Shi Jiaojiao closed her materials and said strongly: "Yes, I can only work hard to find a job!" ”

Wen Jie patted her on the shoulder and left, and soon sent a message to Shi Jiaojiao from the instant chat tool, which was the connection to major job search websites, as well as the address and information of the recent large-scale job fair. Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at Wen Jie, Wen Jie replied with gentle and encouraging eyes, raised the cup in her hand at her, and said with her mouth: "Come on." Shi Jiaojiao turned her head, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

What will happen to others before and after graduation, the arduous experience of submitting a large number of resumes and running interviews crazily, Shi Jiaojiao only began to experience it after working for a year. Everyone in the department understands the situation, so no matter how often Shi Jiaojiao asks for leave, no one raises any objections. I don't know if it's because the competition is too fierce, or because Shi Jiaojiao is too picky: seeing that more than half of the month has passed, I have received no less than ten interview notices, but I still haven't found anything.

"By next Monday, you have to move out of the dorm and hand over the keys!" After taking a shower at night, the dormitory administrator took the registration form and found Shi Jiaojiao and said. After the administrator left, there were only two people in the dormitory, the girl with flat bangs and Shi Jiaojiao, and the girl endured it for a long time before she cautiously asked Shi Jiaojiao: "Have you found a place to live?" Shi Jiaojiao lay flat on the bed, staring at the upper plank in a daze, without saying a word.

The Sunday when she was about to move out of the factory dormitory was unusually hot, and Shi Jiaojiao ran to most of the city early in the morning to participate in a special job fair for "mechanical automation" in the Chengdong High-tech Development Zone. As a result, she didn't even send out a resume. The girl who walked out of the venue didn't have time to be disappointed, she was still busy moving.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I rushed back to the dormitory, and my sister who worked the night shift had already packed her luggage, and she was taken to the bus stop not far from the factory. "Thank you, sister, you say goodbye to everyone on my behalf!" Shi Jiaojiao put the suitcase and said, my sister put the big canvas bag with the futon on the bench, wiped her sweat and looked at Shi Jiaojiao, "Hey, I must bring it." Be happy, you are highly educated and smart, and your future is very good! When the time comes, pass by here and come and see us! Shi Jiaojiao blinked, smiled wryly and nodded.

Shi Jiaojiao stood in the platform and watched the eldest sister hurry away. Before the sun set, the sun suddenly disappeared, and I looked up to see dark clouds surging in the sky, brewing a torrential rain. After a red bus stopped diagonally opposite, it started slowly, Shi Jiaojiao looked over, a girl looked around, and when she saw Shi Jiaojiao, she ran across the road.

"Have you waited a long time? I left two hours early! Meibao ran to Shi Jiaojiao, and her hand naturally landed on the big canvas bag. Shi Jiaojiao felt that Meibu was bubbling cold, which was the result of being locked in an air-conditioned car for a long time. "What's the matter, you think I'm late?" Mei Bao turned her bag into a backpack and carried it behind her, laughing and teasing Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao took a deep breath, suddenly opened her arms, and threw herself into Mei Bao's arms, her voice trembling, "Mei Bao." ”

Meibao tried her best to withstand Shi Jiaojiao's sudden hug, patted her back, and said softly: "I'm here, I'll take you home immediately." Shi Jiaojiao closed her eyes and opened them again, forcing back the surging tears, and muttered, "I'm sorry, I'm going to cause you trouble!" Meibao looked at the cloudy sky and scolded softly "nonsense".

"It's good to get on the train close to the terminal, so many seats!" The two found a convenient place to take care of their luggage and sat down, and Meibao intended to make Shi Jiaojiao happy. Shi Jiaojiao nodded cooperatively and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of taking a car in the city?" Meibao grinned, "It's late now, and it is estimated that there will not be many people in the city, so when you experience it yourself, you can stand without touching the ground!" Shi Jiaojiao listened to her exaggerated speech, covered her mouth and laughed.

After driving a few stops, there were not a few people in the car, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said to Meibao: "You must tell me about the rent and other expenses, and they will all be divided equally." I'll find another place as soon as I can. Meibao rolled her eyes and said, "You are still so virtuous, and you are bent on me as if you are careful." Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, "Suddenly looking for you has disrupted your life." Meibao rubbed Shi Jiaojiao's head and whispered, "I'm actually very happy." ”
