Li Yue'er

I got off the bus and looked up at the 20-storey gilded building in front of me, where the four big characters of "Kairan Chemical" shone brightly in the sunlight. In the hottest season of July, the heat wave in the air is blowing in the face, forming a bipolar world with the coolness of the air conditioning in the carriage, making people sweat instantly.

Young talents come and go, weaving light and shadow animations in front of me, slowly unfolding the life I will have.

From now on, I will start from here and enter another new stage of life, the road ahead is long, joys and sorrows are unpredictable, but the unknown apprehension can not hide the novelty and desire for the colorful world after all. Perhaps, for a college student who has just left campus and entered the society, the meaning of the first job is far more grand than imagined.

It is the courage to face the future without fear, and it is also the original intention to be unfamiliar with the world.

While thinking about it, a black Mercedes stopped in front of the building. A man and a woman got out of the car, the man's figure was stubby, his belly was poopy, his hair was combed on his shiny head, and his eyes were shrewd. I saw that he quickly went around to the back of the car and opened the door, but the fat on his body did not prevent him from being agile. Bending over with a smile on his face, he was courteous in every way.

The woman was dressed in white professional clothes, carrying a briefcase and standing next to the car, looking arrogant and cold in the flow of people shuttling around her, looking at the car with a reserved and delicate gaze, as if the people in it had a huge amount of energy, so that everything around them unconsciously lowered their heads.

"Mr. Guo, it's time to the company, please!" The man leaned against the car door and said respectfully to the people inside.

I wasn't far away, and I heard it well. Mr. Guo? Could it be Kairan's boss Guo Kai? On the first day of reporting, I saw the big boss, and the rookie who had just walked out of the ivory tower was still a little nervous, and I couldn't help flashing to the side.

Guo Kai was dressed in a white shirt and gray trousers, showing his uninhibited entrepreneurial temperament under the simple matching. He is tall, with a pair of thick black eyebrows and eyes on his face that are shining under the lenses, and the stubble on his chin shows the master's decisiveness. I have to admit that this kind of person with his own aura will be a role to be reckoned with in any field.

The three of them did not stay and quickly walked into the company.

As I passed by, I heard Guo Kai say to the men and women following him without looking back,

"Wang Hao, immediately call the sales department to contact Longtu Company, stop the supply without payment, just kidding, he actually wants to bargain with us at that point, don't weigh himself?"

"Xiao Qi, you and the Fulin Hotel confirm the matter of the dinner, today is the first time to invite Mayor Zhao, inquire about the preferences of this new master, the first docking can't go wrong."

The men and women behind him nodded in agreement, and quickly took out their notepads to write them down, but their footsteps did not fall at all. I can't help but be amazed, with such a work rhythm and professionalism, Kairan's success is really not just a matter of luck.

Li Yue'er, you have to come on!

Suddenly I felt a gaze sweeping towards me, I looked up sharply, and found that the man named Wang Hao was passing by me, although I didn't know his identity, but thinking that he must be a colleague in the future, I smiled at him.

As if he didn't expect my reaction, he was stunned at first, and then nodded politely at me in response.

On the other side, the person named Xiaoqi saw Wang Hao's footsteps being slightly late, and he couldn't help but turn his head, and the wind blew across my cheeks, sharp and cold. I just hope that she and I don't have too much intersection in our work. I prayed silently.

A sense of loneliness suddenly swelled up in my heart. It was as if in an instant, I began to realize that I was already in the workplace. The ups and downs of the workplace that I used to only see in books or on TV will gradually come into my life, can a character like me who doesn't ask about the world and doesn't like to socialize adapt? Many years later, will I also build a thick armor and grow sharp edges and corners in the wind and frost, or will I work hard for half my life and return as a teenager?

Thinking about it this way, the excitement and joy of joining the company for the first time have also diluted a lot. Seeing that it was not early, I collected my emotions, tidied up my appearance again, and walked into the door of Kairan.

Follow the front desk to the personnel department, it turns out that there are new employees who have reported today one after another, and the department is busy in an orderly manner. After completing the entry procedures, I was originally a substitute player, and I was naturally assigned to work in the administration department.

The administration department is on the 19th floor of Kairan Chemical, which is one floor from the boss's office, after all, it serves as the boss's secretary, and the location of this building near the water is deserved.

The first step for new employees is, of course, to worship the leader's mountain. The little sister of the personnel department took me to knock on the door of the manager of the administration department and said to the man sitting inside: "Manager Wang, this is a new employee in your department this year, Li Yue'er."

Looking up at the voice, I couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't the man sitting opposite who was with Mr. Guo before, it turned out that he was Wang Hao, the manager of the administrative department, no wonder he was sent to a set of such a familiar twist.

It's closer to see it now. The fat man looks young, Wang Hao looks only in his 30s, and the two thin lips on his round face reveal a slippery energy. The administrative department coordinates inside and outside, and clever words are indispensable, and Wang Hao's skin complements the content of the work.

"Hello Manager Wang, I'm Li Yue'er" I was just an ordinary colleague before, but I didn't expect it to be a serious master, so I hurriedly said hello.

"It's you!" Wang Hao also thought of me, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Li Yue'er? ”

"Well, yes, Manager Wang, please take care of me!"

"Yes, yes, we have another beautiful woman in the administration department. Graduating this year? What do you study? Wang Hao asked with interest

"Well, yes, just graduated this year and studied administration"

"That's the professional counterpart, little girl, it's a good talent to come to us!" Wang Hao said as he looked through my file, "Yo, have you published an article?" Love to write? ”

I realized that he had seen the manuscripts I had written in college, so I nodded and replied, "Yes, it's an interest." ”

"That's great! Our administration department, don't look at such a bunch of people, they are all masters of eating, drinking and having fun, let me stare dryly when I write something, and I am angry. Now that you're here, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Yes, yes, the personnel department finally gave us charcoal this year! Come on, come on, I'll take you to meet these wine-colored men and women in our department! ”

Wang Hao didn't stop breathing, although his mouth was full of numbers, but it could be seen that the relationship between him and his subordinates was good. Even if I am new to the school today, he has no leadership at all, which makes me feel a little comforted, after all, a good leader and a harmonious working environment are a blessing for both new and old employees.

Wang Hao led me around the department and introduced me to a group of colleagues one by one, and everyone greeted me cordially. I just found out that the administration department is full of young people, almost all of them have entered the company in the past one or two years, each other is of similar age, naturally there are many common topics, although usually busy at work, but the young heart is pure and happy after all, and can sit upright when going to work, after work is still with Wang Hao is not big or small, and does not regard him as a leader, such an atmosphere gradually infected me, there is a trace of happiness growing in my heart, as if in front of me is Kairan paved for me to pave the broad road, all the way to flowers, all without the ups and downs that I thought at the beginning.

"Xiaoqi, come, introduce you to the new beauty of our administration department!" Wang Hao raised his head and beckoned to the door.

I followed Wang Hao's voice and saw the cold and glamorous woman who had accompanied Mr. Guo with Wang Hao before walking in with high heels. I can't help but chuckle in my heart, it seems that Fang Cai's prayers are not working, and the reality often backfires.

"Xiao Li, this is Zhang Xiaoqi, a top student in our department, with high education, good looks, and high figure, referred to as 'three highs'!" Wang Hao smiled casually, Zhang Xiaoqi "spitted" him, turned his head and looked at me carefully, and then stretched out his hand and said:

"You were at the door of the office this morning, right? It turned out to be our new colleague, hello! Zhang Xiaoqi's words are neat, but her voice has no temperature, it is just a formula greeting for her.

Even so, as a newcomer, the posture still has to be sufficient, "Yes, I saw you and Manager Wang in the morning." I'm Li Yue'er. Please advise", I shook her hand and kept a proper smile.

Zhang Xiaoqi belongs to the kind of typical urban beauty, tall and tall, with exquisite makeup, two bent Danfeng eyes looking forward to shining, but the smile she shows always varies from person to person, which makes people really unapproachable.

The induction between people is really a strange thing, some people meet for the first time but seem to be reunited, and some people only know that they are not good with each other in just one or two sentences. Zhang Xiaoqi and I obviously fall into the latter category.

Wang Hao seemed to be unaware, and continued to say: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Li's writing is very good, and we can finally unload the burden in the future."

"Oh? Is it? Zhang Xiaoqi raised his eyes and looked at me, his face changed slightly, and he immediately hid it just right, turned his head and smiled at Wang Hao: "Of course it's good, you only knew how to torture me before, but now there are multiple torture objects, of course it's comfortable!" ”

"Huh? Haha, Xiao Li, don't listen to her nonsense, she has always been neither big nor small in front of me, yes, you treat me as a manager, I can treat her as a leader, I can't afford to provoke her"

The surrounding colleagues all snickered when they heard Wang Hao's teasing, and squeezed their eyebrows at Zhang Xiaoqi. The latter blushed and glanced at him with disgust, "Lao Wang, Mr. Guo asked you to arrange a dinner party."

"Okay, okay, leader, subordinates take orders, let's do it, let's do it!" Wang Hao completely ignored Zhang Xiaoqi's flushed face, and replied one after another, and everyone couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

Zhang Xiaoqi looked at me, and then looked at everyone, his brows were slightly furrowed, but his face was not angry at all, and even a little shy, "You ......" Before he finished speaking, he turned around and entered his office.

I can't help but blink, what's going on between these two, right?

Chen Ran

I can still recall the scene when I asked Guo Kai to leave the company. On that day, it was also such a depressing late spring afternoon, and layers of cumulus clouds poured up in the cloudy and uncertain sky from time to time, as if accumulating the last strength to wash the world away.

I came to Guo Kai's office, he was studying the performance data of the sales department, looked up and saw that it was me, and said happily: "Chen Ran, look, our sales in the past few months have been double-digit growth, and the situation is very good!" I told you a long time ago, now we have to take advantage of the policy to do anything, our high-tech brand is hard currency! At the beginning, you didn't agree with me to do this, saying that these are all virtual, and it turns out that the virtual can be transformed into the real, and the virtual and the real are born together, and you are still almost a fire when you are immersed in technology~"

Guo Kai pointed to the data on the computer and continued to gush: "Now that we have the foundation in all aspects, the next step is to strike while the iron is hot, and immediately march into several neighboring provinces, and take all the great rivers and mountains in the southwest of our motherland!" Brother, let's work together! ”

Guo Kai's eyes are full of excitement and hope, he has always been such a person, ambitious and ambitious, and he made a vow to make Kairan one of the top 100 in China and then enter the top 500 in the world. If he knew what I was going to say next, he wouldn't know what it would be.

But at this point, no amount of reluctance is just a foreshadowing, and we all have to face the coming separation, even if it is a difficult decision for me.

Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, "Lao Guo, I'm ready to leave Kairan." ”

"Huh? Want to travel? You've been living a chic day, and we've been busy lately, don't you? I won't approve your fake! "Guo Kai is still immersed in his own grand cause, obviously not understanding what I mean.

I paused and continued: "I said, I want to go back to N City, and Kairan will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Guo Kai raised his head and was stunned for a moment, "Chen Ran, what are you kidding, did you take the wrong medicine!?" ”

"I'm not joking, I didn't tell you at the beginning, Xiaojuan and I have a three-year appointment, and in these three years, she gave me enough time to let us achieve Kairan together; Now that three years have passed, I must return to her no matter what the circumstances. ”

As I expected, Guo Kai's disbelief and shock and anger were all written on his face, he stared at me for a minute as if he didn't know him, suddenly got up and slapped the table, pointed at me and scolded:

"Just kidding! How is it possible, what a three-year covenant, you never mentioned it to me! This is a company, an enterprise, not a hotel, how can you just go! Guo Kai irritably took out a cigarette and lit it, and was choked carelessly, his face swollen red, "Are you and your sister-in-law too child's play?!" ”

I saw that the bruises on his forehead were exposed, and he rarely had such gaffes, but I understood, understood very much, and in this way, the other party's blood was still boiling, and he was tantamount to a basin of cold water from head to toe, which no one could accept.

I lit a cigarette, silence, only silence, this is what I should bear, this thing is that I can't stand him.

"Chen Ran, can't you communicate more with your sister-in-law? No matter what the agreement is, it has to be reasonable, right? You see, now that Kairan is developing well, we have a lot of income every year, is my sister-in-law dissatisfied? Why do you have to do such a desperate job? Guo Kai took a few puffs of cigarette and said something hesitantly.

I slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, "Lao Guo, if I could communicate, I wouldn't be sitting here today and talking to you like this." "Through the mist, we couldn't seem to see each other's faces clearly.

"Kai Ran, we did it single-handedly, just like our children, do you think I'm willing to let go?" I looked at Guo Kai, and my eyes were also gloomy, "Xiaojuan, my thoughts are different from ours, I don't blame her, it was originally an agreement, and I am not qualified to blame her." ”

"But what do you tell me to do when you leave, what do you ask me to say to a bunch of employees? There are so many things we need to do together! Guo Kai sat down on the chair dejectedly, his voice gradually lowered, and he was very frustrated.

I don't understand the blow of my departure to Guo Kai, and I don't want to witness the development and growth of Kairan with him, but as I said before, the establishment of Kairan is more of a chance to create, and it does not mean that I am a very ambitious person.

I'm no longer young, and although my marriage has long since gone flat, it doesn't mean that I want to have a conflict with it. After all, life is not an either/or proposition, and everything, which step you take, is actually a joint effort, so why bother to toss a multiple-choice question?

Maybe Guo Kai and I are still different people in essence, he needs a career to achieve life, and I only feel that life is itself, and I don't need anything to achieve it.

In my life, there are not many things that I want to fight for with all my might.

There was a "boom" of thunder in the sky, and the ink clouds were like weaving, and the black pressure was piled up above the city, making people breathless. The raindrops of beans have accumulated for a long time, and they quickly fell one after another, and the raindrops could be seen clearly first, and after a while, they were connected into a vast silver thread, and they were overwhelmingly blind.

The heavy rain finally fell.

Retracted his gaze, looked at Guo Kai who was sitting opposite, thinking back to the past three years, when we were poor and white, whether we could do it for three months was uncertain, all the way to the present, Kai Ran also began to take shape, as if it was just a blink of an eye, and each other was full of emotion.

After treating me coldly for a week, Guo Kai finally calmly agreed to my departure. However, he also put forward two conditions, one is that I am not allowed to give up my shares; The second is that when Kairan is in danger, I must come back.

I agreed.

——In order to make Guo Kai feel at ease, maybe he also has a little incomprehensible extravagant hope for Kai Ran.

The whole company was shocked and shocked by my departure, but since the two bosses had reached a tacit understanding, they naturally couldn't say much. Later, Guo Kai held a grand farewell ceremony for me, but his expression was solemn from beginning to end during the ceremony.

The night before leaving, Guo Kai called me to a tavern next to the train station to have a drink. This is where we first had our first meal in City C, and I understand what he meant, when we only came to this strange city by chance, with the courage and fragile hope, desperately chasing something called a dream in the race against time, how could we have thought that there would be today.

We all drank too much that night, and when we were drunk, Guo Kai put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Brother, I knew that you had a three-year contract, and I wouldn't have asked you to start a business, but if it weren't for you, how could there be Kairan Chemical." ”

With that, he fell asleep on the couch, tired.

And I, looking at the gurgling night rain outside the window, couldn't help but moisten my eyes.

Kairan, did my fate with it really end here?
