Li Yue'er

As the New Year approaches, the streets and alleys are lit up with lights, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. As the customer appreciation meeting is about to be held, all departments of the company have recently entered the year-end busy mode. Although it is Kairan's annual routine, it is a major event after all, and everyone dare not be sloppy. Wang Hao recruited me as soon as he entered the office today.

"Xiao Li, the propaganda draft has been approved, and this time it finally meets Mr. Guo's wishes!" He trotted in, sweated in the indoor heating, wiped his forehead and continued, "Come, there are still a few small places in the manuscript that need to be revised, Mr. Guo has already marked it, and you have changed it accordingly." There are still relevant information on these data, Zhang Xiaoqi has them, you can ask her for them. Complete it as soon as possible, and send it to the advertising agency for a sample before getting off work today."

With the approval of Mr. Guo, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took the manuscript handed by Wang Hao, and found that there were not many places to be modified, all of which were some simple additions. As for looking for what Zhang Xiaoqi wanted, it was only the company's awards over the years, and it shouldn't take too much time, so I felt a little relieved.

Wang Hao repeatedly emphasized that the task must be completed before getting off work, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I dialed Zhang Xiaoqi's phone when I returned to my seat and explained to her what I meant, but for some reason her response was a little light, which was very different from the courtesy and politeness of that day.

I didn't know that this was the morning, and seeing that I was about to have lunch, Zhang Xiaoqi hadn't moved at all, and other places had been modified, so she was missing. After a little thought, I realized that this was not the way to go, and I went to her office, only to find that the door was closed and she was gone.

I was a little panicked for a while, seeing that the computer lights in her office were not turned on, it didn't look like I was going to lunch, so I hurriedly dialed her phone, "Sister Xiaoqi, I'm Xiao Li." Can I send me the data I asked for in the morning? Manager Wang was a little anxious"

"Ah, Xiao Li, oops, I'm really embarrassed, I followed Mr. Guo out for a meeting in the morning, and I haven't had time to prepare yet. I guess I'll go back late today, so I'll give it to you tomorrow, okay? ”

Zhang Xiaoqi pretended to be on the other end of the phone, and moved out of Mr. Guo's honorable driver, but I was beating the drum in my heart. I told her this data in the morning, and I have to ask for it today, even if she can't provide it in time when she has something to do, can't she say hello to me first? I've been preparing for both, and now that the deadline is approaching, where can I find these materials?

Thinking of this, I had to explain to her: "Sister Xiaoqi, it may not work tomorrow, Manager Wang said that he will send it to the advertising company this afternoon." Who else can you think of as this? ”

"Well, I'm mainly collecting at the moment, and the others probably don't," her voice was a little lazy disdain.

"You're back late today, aren't you? So what now? I forced the depression in my heart and said anxiously, hoping to let her understand my feelings.

"Yes, Mr. Guo just said that he would have to finish his meal in the evening before going back, and he might go home directly, you know, there are many city leaders in today's meeting, there is no way" Zhang Xiaoqi completely ignored my anxiety and said nonchalantly. "Why don't you tell Wang Hao, and pay it tomorrow, it's not a big deal, give it to the advertising company, it's a little later, it's a little later."

If I thought she was unintentional, now I'm sure she's making things wrong. This reminds me of the scene when we first met, people's sixth sense is really good, Zhang Xiaoqi and I, after all, can't go in the same direction.

It's just that I don't understand, she spit lotus flowers and smiled brightly in front of Wang Hao before, but now she is doing this again. I asked myself, I hadn't offended her, so why did I do this to me?

But now is definitely not the time to dwell on this, Zhang Xiaoqi has a posture of not caring about herself, but I can't be as indifferent as her. After hanging up the phone, I went to Wang Hao's office, explained the situation to him briefly, and then asked him who else could provide information in this regard.

Wang Hao didn't say anything after listening to my words, thought about it and said, "The time is determined by Mr. Guo, and it must not be pushed, Xiaoqi has been in charge of this, and it is true that no one else has these data except her." However, there is another way, which is to find out the company's annual reports over the years and count them one by one, but this is more time-consuming......"

"It's okay, I'll find it right away" I intercepted Wang Hao's words, as long as I can complete the task on time, what is it if it takes a little time.

"Then, okay" Wang Hao didn't hesitate to see me, and also encouraged, "The annual report is available on the company's website, and it will be done, but the content is a bit much, you have to read it next to each other, thank you for your hard work."

"It's fine." I smiled at him, replied gently, and plunged into the intense work.

It took me a full four hours to finally complete all the additions and revisions, and I sent the manuscript to the advertising agency on time.

Relieved, I stood up, it was early in winter, and the sun was getting dark outside the window. At the beginning of the lanterns, the whole city is shrouded in a dim halo, lined with the fire trees and silver flowers in the streets and alleys, adding a bit of gloom. Looking back on half a year of hard work, working hard alone in this strange city, although the ups and downs are not exhausted, the five flavors are mixed, but I have also experienced, and finally gradually gained a foothold in Kairan, I can't help but sigh.

The new year is coming, what knows and the unknown awaits me?

Retracting his thoughts, looking at his colleagues in the office, he suddenly found that although he and they work well on weekdays, it seems that it is limited to this, after all, the workplace is a vanity fair after all, and the more people around you, the more likely it is to encounter conflicts of interest. This innate sense of distance from the people around me made it logical for my first friend at Kairan to come from the R&D department, which had the least deal with the administration department.

In fact, Kairan has been able to develop so fast in recent years, and the R&D department has contributed a lot, and it is said that the company's core technology came from Chen Ran, the director of the R&D department. However, Mr. Chen has left the company three years ago, but it is strange that Mr. Guo has not been looking for a new candidate, and he is still the R&D director.

This was the first time I had heard Chen Ran's name, and it was inexplicably imprinted in my mind when Yang Xi was gushing about the company's customs and customs at lunch.

Yang Xi was the first friend I made in Kairan, and it was quite dramatic to talk about meeting her on a narrow road. Many years later, when we recalled the scene of the first meeting on both sides of the ocean, we still couldn't help but laugh, and then we were very emotional.

The first time I participated in the company's year-end appreciation meeting, although I was mentally prepared, I still felt embarrassed when I arrived at the scene. In the most spacious peony hall of the largest five-star hotel in C city, Fulin Hotel, the huge LED screen "Kairan Chemical ** Year Customer Appreciation Meeting" is dazzling, and the walls on both sides of the hall are hung with company profiles and advertisements of various products.

There are hundreds of seats under the stage, all departments have dispatched people to run before and after running to perform their duties, and hotel waiters are also shuttling back and forth to add wine and cloth dishes, lights and music, interweaving a hot but orderly spectacular scene. I can't help but sigh that with such a scale of business and such a style, Kairan is indeed well-deserved as a leader in the industry.

The administrative department of such an important conference event must be fully dispatched, and my responsibility is mainly responsible for customer guidance and data distribution, and my partner is Yang Xi from the R&D department.

Yang Xi is a little baby fat, combing the kind of student head commonly known as "Sanfang Qi", a pair of big eyes flickering on her round face, as if there are countless whimsical ideas, and her meaty mouth seems to be ready to debate with others, and she is a student girl who is engaged in science and engineering research in a university, and it is really suitable to work in the R&D department.

But she didn't seem to be interested in me, and after introducing each other, she looked at me carefully a few times and then stopped talking. I'm not a familiar person, and I've only been in the company for half a year, so I'm still a newcomer in the strict sense, and I'm not smiling at the moment, we are doing our own things sullenly, and there is no communication for a while.

The customers who participated in the thank-you meeting arrived one after another, and the hall gradually became noisy.

Of course, there are some hiccupes.

As soon as the sign-in began, a customer came over and checked the identity information, which turned out to be the owner of a small company, surnamed Li. Boss Li is about fifty years old, short in stature, and his sparse hair barely covers the oily head, seeing me and Yang Xi, his eyes seem to light up, and he immediately stepped forward and said:

"Little beauty, did I come to you to get the information?"

Cantonese, Yang Xi and I glanced at each other, the unique Cantonese accent and the smiling face were really a little greasy. Yang Xi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is silent, so I have to point to the entrance of the venue and admit: "Boss Li, this is the seating chart and your information, please go this way"

Boss Li took the form and information, and had no intention of leaving. He saw my work card at a glance, "Oh, little beauty, it turns out that your surname is also Li, we are a family!" As he spoke, he deliberately approached me and looked at me carefully, "What's your name?" Li ~ Yue ~ Er, what a nice name! I'm sorry, I can't look closer."

He pressed his head almost to my chest, and I was so embarrassed that I reflexively leaned back. Seeing this, he took the opportunity to help me, "Be careful, my sister," he said with a smile and pretended to pinch my waist.

My heart was stagnant, my brows were twisted into pimples, but I couldn't get angry because of the company's face, and my face was red. Immediately jumped away from his groping pig hand, stood three meters away from him and held back his anger and said: "Boss Li, the thank you meeting is about to start, please enter the field from this side."

I didn't know that this scumbag completely ignored the meaning of my words, but instead stepped forward again, "My sister, my eyes are not good, you can't see so many names on this form, or you can take me in to find a position" After speaking, he dragged my hand inward, and his eyes swirled straight on my face in confusion.

I couldn't help but shudder, and the alarm bell sounded in my heart, and I pulled out my hand vigorously while prevaricating, "No, no, Boss Li, I can't go in, your position is at table 40, and there are colleagues in it to guide you"

"My sister, we are so fateful, you can take me in for a while," Boss Li still didn't give up, "Does your company treat customers like this?" Isn't it preach the supremacy of the customer, and you can't take me in for a while? ”

This scumbag himself was unreasonable and actually bit back, I was anxious and annoyed and couldn't attack, I was a little at a loss for a while, seeing more and more customers, I looked at us one after another, and Boss Li still wanted to step forward to entangle, and I suddenly had no idea in my heart.

"Li Yue'er, your Manager Wang's call, come and answer it! Shen Dazhi, this Boss Li can't find his place, you hurry up and bring a belt, 40 tables! ”

A crisp voice sounded, and I saw Yang Xi waving the phone in his hand and shouting to me, and the one on the other side who was called Shen Dazhi agreed, and immediately came to us, "Boss Li, I am Shen Dazhi, the manager of Kairan R&D Department, please don't worry, I'll take you in, please go this way" After speaking, he respectfully stretched out his hand to guide, and Boss Li saw that a middle-level was coming, and it was not good to be presumptuous, so he muttered a few words, and had to follow.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I came back to my senses, and ran over in three steps and two steps to answer the phone, only to see Yang Xi wave his hand, "Miss Li, you really should have a phone?" If you don't say that, how much oil are you going to be rubbed by that old pervert, you should be honest," Yang Xi glanced at me and sighed with hatred.

It turned out that she was helping me out! I realized that I was not mistaken, and sure enough, she was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. The first time I encountered this kind of workplace harassment, I did have too little experience with a simple heart, thanks to her help, otherwise I don't know how to step down today. Thinking of this, my heart was moved, "Thank you, Yang Xi, it's the first time I've encountered this situation, I really didn't expect that there are such people in the customer" Thinking that he was eaten tofu by the filthy old man who was about to catch up with my father just now, and he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, he suddenly felt aggrieved, and his eyes turned red.

Yang Xi glanced at me a few times, and when he saw that I was emotional, his tone couldn't help but soften, "There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, no one can guarantee that Kairan's customers are all morally noble, you have no combat experience, you will inevitably suffer some losses." ”

"When I first arrived at the company, I encountered a similar situation. Although we can't turn our faces directly, we can't bear to carry it to death, these salty pig hands will get worse, so we still have to learn some tricks to protect ourselves. Yang Xi winked at me, "For example, just like the Boss Li just now, you have to be on guard when you see him making excuses deliberately, and you can call the colleagues who guide him directly to take him." Besides, that's not a small word, right? Will he not be able to see clearly? Try to change these words into money, see if he can see clearly, these people are monkey spirits, which is a fuel-efficient lamp. Girl, you're too innocent."

"yes, I should have made an excuse sooner. Blame yourself for being so inexperienced."

Yang Xi patted me on the shoulder, "It's okay, Comrade Xiao Li, who doesn't eat a trench and grow wise, take your time, don't worry, just look for me if you have anything." Hey, then again, you're from the Administration Department, new here? ”

Yang Xi is articulate and informal, and it seems that I have been classified as a fellow believer in his words, and I am of course happy to see it happen when I associate with such a person.

"Well, I've been in the administration department for almost half a year."

"No wonder, girl, you look so smart, alas, all the good resources are given to the Administration Department, looking at the "white bone spirits" in your department, I envy and hate the little girl. Yang Xi rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, "That Zhang Xiaoqi in your department, tsk, every time he passes in front of us, his eyes are almost high to the sky, looking down on our round and jade run, our Tang Dynasty is still fat as beauty, she is like that, in the Tang Dynasty, it is the life of a maid!" ”

I laughed out loud, no wonder she was not salty to me at first, it turned out that there was still this relationship. Yang Xi's sharp teeth made me a lot happier, thinking of the super popular "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" on TV, I called her Pleasant Goat by the way. I didn't expect her to accept it, and bluntly said that it was much cuter than her own name.

I asked her how dare she call the department manager's name, she was stunned for a long time before she understood that I was talking about Shen Dazhi, and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that everyone in the R&D department had a master of grass (flowers), but Shen Dazhi and Pleasant Goat were single, and colleagues loved to put the two of them together when they laughed and talked on weekdays.

Shen Dazhi smiled and didn't take it seriously, Pleasant Goat was not happy, she knew that she had no achievements in appearance, and she didn't ask the other half to be beautiful and beautiful, but at least she had to be funny and humorous, right? This Shen Dazhi is a typical science and engineering man, he doesn't know anything about human accidents, he has dedicated his life to a bunch of chemical elements, the laboratory is his home, no matter how you look at it, he can't satisfy our Pleasant Goat's basic fantasy of the lover in his dreams, so he was sentenced to death early and sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. It's not enough to go into the eighteenth layer of hell, but you have to step on two more feet to be satisfied. This Shen Dazhi is strange to say, no matter what Pleasant Goat says, he has a "three noes" policy of not confrontation, no argument, and no anger, and he runs diligently when he has something, as if Pleasant Goat is his leader. Miss Pleasant Goat is also not polite to accept all the orders, and she only increases and drinks to others.

I shook my head and said with a smile in my heart, isn't this the joyful enemy of "one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer".

Because I came to Kairan two years earlier, Pleasant Goat is naturally more familiar with the company's situation than me. Coupled with a woman's gossip nature, her gossip is like a baby in the pocket of a robot cat jingle bell, inexhaustible, thanks to her chatter, I also know a lot of company anecdotes.

For any company, the importance of the sales department is self-evident, and the sales department of Kairan is even more wealthy, with a sense of superiority of the company's food and clothing. On the one hand, this is because of the rapid growth of Kairan's sales in recent years, almost monopolizing the entire southwest market; On the other hand, it is also because Guo Xin, the head of the sales department, is the younger brother of Mr. Guo, and the royal relatives show off their might, what else can the people say.

In other words, Guo Xin actually joined the company after the departure of R&D director Chen Ran, and it is said that he was a sales manager of a Fortune 500 company before, and his performance was not bad. The reason why Mr. Guo poached him is obvious, private enterprises need resources, markets, and trust, Guo Xin has all of them, and he is naturally the best candidate. However, it seems that in the three years since he joined the company, he has offended many people because of his nobody's personality, and the relationship with his brother has gradually become suspicious.

Of course, these "seeming" and "supposed" news all come from Yang Xi's eyes and ears. In fact, I personally don't care much, everyone has their own way of living, not to mention the boss's housework, which is 108,000 miles away from me, but Pleasant Goat is refreshing by nature, fast talking but pure in heart, which is why I am willing to listen to her nagging.

It was also from her that I also learned that Wang Hao, the manager of our administrative department, turned out to be a divorced golden bachelor, and I also knew that Zhang Xiaoqi had always had a soft spot for him, no wonder Zhang Xiaoqi changed his face with me, so it was! I can't help but sigh, it is true that everything has a cause and effect.

Chen Ran

As Xiaojuan said, after her parents knew our plans, they expressed their support, Xiaojuan has always been the pearl of their palms, spoiled and compliant, and of course they are unwilling to let go of this opportunity for exchange and promotion. My parents were not against it, but they were somewhat reluctant to let us go. I understand their feelings, northerners are not used to living in the south, if it weren't for me, how would they want to leave home to this thousands of miles away, as the only child in the family, it is ashamed that they can't fulfill their filial piety by their parents' side, and now they have to keep their parents alone in the empty house, and they feel even more unhappy.

But it's impossible for them to go with them right now, after all, Xiaojuan and I are in the exchange room of the unit where we live, and the one-bedroom apartment can't squeeze more people. Besides, both parents are in N City and take care of each other, which I agree with Xiaojuan.

The old man was finally reasonable, I probably explained the situation, and they no longer insisted, so after settling down at home, Xiaojuan and I came to H City, a famous modern metropolis in the east of our country, ten miles of oceans, singing and dancing, time in the neon light and extinguish like a white horse passing by, in the blink of an eye is two years.

In the past two years, Xiaojuan's career has been smooth, not only successfully integrated into the local work team, but also won an excellent commendation, it seems that she is one step closer to the reserved seat.

And I also founded my own technical consulting company with the help of a friend, with the reputation of "Kairan", I didn't expect the business to be good, I got a few orders in the first year, although there is not much profit, but it is not a problem to maintain the company's operation.

However, for some reason, I often feel a little empty in my heart, and many times between work, I can't help but think about what "Kairan" looks like at this time, and after three years, are they all good?

Leaving Kai and then not talking to Guo Kai on the phone, but it seems that we both tried their best to avoid talking about the company's situation, in addition to the year-end dividend Guo Kai laughed and scolded me for "eating for nothing", I also have a "close affection" mood for Kai Ran, this emotion is very complicated, and sometimes it makes me feel that I will go back again in the future.

Of course, from the amount of dividends I get every year, it can be seen that Kai Ran's situation is still good, and it seems that Guo Kai's younger brother still has a few hits. Guo Kai mentioned to me that he had poached his brother, and I agreed, after all, the sales department is not trivial, Guo Kai is not omnipotent, he needs a partner, especially after I left. However, in the past year, Guo Kai has occasionally revealed his dissatisfaction with his younger brother on the phone, but he is reluctant to say more, and it is inconvenient for me to ask more.
