Li left Mr. Zhang's office, returned to the packing workshop with mixed feelings and depression, pulled up the trailer again, and silently carried the heavy electronic containers. While pulling the car hard, he thought: It's rare to talk to Mr. Zhang once, but this is the result? Why is that? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? He pondered and explored, but he still couldn't figure it out. The workers all looked at him suspiciously, and they were cooing behind their backs. That seems to say: Mr. Zhang is so happy to recognize you as a fellow countryman, and he didn't give you a promotion, at least a good type of work, why did he come back in a gloomy way, and still work as a porter like us? In the end, it is a mountain person, no matter how many books he reads, how much culture he has, or his brain is too rigid, he can't see the wind and steer, and he can't seize the opportunity no matter how good it is, so he has to watch the great opportunity slip away from him. But when he approached them, they stopped talking again, and laughed at him without smiling. He knew in his heart that they were still afraid that he was Mr. Zhang's fellow countryman, and if he was annoyed, he would complain to Mr. Zhang. You people are snobs, too much-minded, and suspicious, and you don't look at it, who is Mr. Zhang? Who am I? Will she genuinely recognize me as a fellow countryman and help me sincerely? But I heard that I am from Daliangshan, and it seems to have something to do with her hometown for eight lifetimes. After the joy passed, he dismissed me as a fellow countryman and drove me out like a dog. How can I say this to you? Isn't there a shame!

He looked at everyone's uncertain eyes, and his heart was so sad that he didn't want to speak, let alone give any explanation. What can he say? Mr. Zhang was happily invited to talk as a fellow villager, and the workers thought that he had climbed the high branch and risen from then on, but he was driven out as a garbage picker in the end, and still returned to the packaging workshop to work as his porter. What other face does he have to speak? And what to say? People think you are a fellow countryman, so they must transfer you to a good job and promote you? Where is this rule? But he was not convinced, and thought indignantly: What does this Mr. Zhang mean by talking to me today? Is it just to hear my story? Hear the story of the mountain people? If you are willing to listen to the story, I will tell you, why do you suddenly turn your face and don't recognize people? What did I say wrong? Or do you have a neuropathy? I can assure you that every word I say is true; It only means that you are neurotic and moody! Either she plays the temper of the eldest lady, treats the people in the mountains as people, and is poor and happy. However, looking at her appearance, she was not happy, but seemed to be very distressed and troubled. These Hong Kong people are highly educated, well-informed, good at calculations, and unfathomable, which is really incomprehensible!

After talking to Li, Zhang Qian did not come to the packaging workshop for several days. Lee was still working as his porter, only more silent than before. He moved the packaged electronic containers to the trailer one by one, stacked them, pushed them into the warehouse, and then moved them down one by one, placed them neatly in the designated position, and then returned to the packaging workshop to repeat the scheduled work. Although the procedure is simple, each procedure requires effort and great care, so as not to break the cargo box and damage the electronic product and be fined. He sometimes even thinks: just quit and stop working here, and find another technician in another company. With my culture and my strength, where can I find a job in Shenzhen? Not here to be teased and humiliated by a woman, and laughed at by co-workers. However, the salary here is not low, more than 1,500 yuan a month, and he is a little reluctant. He thought again: What did you come out to work for? Isn't it just to earn more money and go home to improve the living conditions of the family? What kind of fuss with others? Where is the boss good to the worker? Isn't it all about exploiting the blood and sweat of the workers to fatten themselves? Marx, the teacher of the proletarian revolution, discovered long ago the secret of the exploitation of the workers by the capitalists, that is, the extraction of surplus value. But what if you don't let him squeeze it? He can't afford to run a factory himself, and the factories of the state don't want him, and the wages of the workers of the state are even lower. Let's do it for the time being, see if there is a turnaround, didn't Mr. Zhang say "I'll talk about it later"? She's capricious, and maybe one day she'll call him to talk when she's happy, and he'll still have a chance. It's really desperate, and it's not too late to change jobs. This is the result of Lee's repeated thinking these days.

But on the fourth day, Mr. Zhang came to inspect the packaging workshop again. She has returned to her usual grooming attitude, still with long flowing hair, slim and elegant, full of spring breeze, and swaying freely. Fashionable dress, elegant temperament, witty conversation, gorgeous clothes all over the body, jewelry, otherworldly. As soon as she saw Lee, she took the initiative to greet her:

"Lee, my little fellow, what's wrong with you? A dejected look. Are you homesick? If you don't want to do it, go back. There are beautiful wives and children at home, white-haired parents, looking forward to it, their love is sincere, they want to look at you day and night. You are alone here, lonely and unbearable, no one hurts when you think of something wrong, no one loves you, so pitiful! ”

Li didn't want to talk to Zhang Qian today, because her attitude was capricious, and her words were sometimes heckling or angry, which was unpredictable and difficult to deal with. But after all, she is the general manager of the company, unique, in charge of the promotion, dismissal and welfare of all employees, and takes the initiative to greet him with a spring breeze and talk to him, he can't help but deal with it, this is polite, or he has to get out of the house immediately. So he blushed and said:

"Mr. Zhang, why do you say these words to sarcastically me? I didn't work less, and the shipping records are all in the supervisor's place, so you can check it out. Even the task that I missed that day to talk to you, I made up for it. I will receive your salary of 1,500 yuan, and I must be worthy of it. You don't care if I miss home or not, or how my family thinks about me. Which of the workers here has no home and no relatives? Who doesn't want home? But I still understand the truth of eating the king and being loyal to the king, and I can do it. ”

Zhang Qian could hear that there was a lot of complaint about her in Li's words. She also figured out the reason, it must be that her attitude towards him at the end of that day was too simple and rude, which made him sad. But how could her attitude be good at that time? He talked about the humiliation, hardship, helplessness and tragic fate of so many divorced women, which made her feel very uncomfortable not thinking about her own experience and future. However, in front of a strange man, especially a young man she liked, she could not explain the reason to him, and it was inconvenient to show it in face, so in order to maintain the dignity of the general manager of a company, she had to cover it up like this. Another point is that this young man is too uninteresting, and in that case, he even offered to transfer him to another job. Does he really think of himself as her countryman? I thought that if I was a high school graduate, I had to work as a technician. Now that middle and high school graduates are all over the streets, how many of them want to work hard as porters? However, when she returned, she thought that this young man was quite honest, and did not shy away from asking and answering anything; In terms of cultural accomplishment, it is not bad, and I know a lot of knowledge; and of his fellow countrymen; Especially his tall and straight figure and handsome and lovely face, she couldn't help but think of her ex-husband who she had always loved deeply, and she couldn't help but be reluctant and her heart shook. After a few days of silence, she decided to transfer him and entrust him with a heavy responsibility. That's what she's here to do today. Of course, this is her secret, her heart's words, and she can't tell him in public.

Listening to Li Han's complaints, she felt funny: she didn't want to be a porter, but she wanted to be strong. After all, he was only twenty-three years old, too young to have no city; But it's also straightforward and cute. So she said:

"It's good to understand this truth, to know the kindness of retribution, the virtue of people. I thought you would blame me for talking to me and delaying your work time. ”

"I'm a porter, how dare I. It was my honor for the boss to talk to me, and he looked up to me. Someone else wants you to talk to him, but he hasn't had a chance yet. Li's words were not only for Zhang Qian, but also for the workers in the same workshop, in response to all kinds of ridicule and comments about him behind their backs.

"I'm glad you think so, because you didn't resent me and rejected me because of my bad attitude that day. This shows that you are still tolerant and cultivated. This is very difficult for ordinary young people to do, so I admire you and value you. Well, we're not done talking for the day, and I have some questions for you. Come with me. ”

"Ahh Still want to talk? ”

Li didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would talk to him today, and he immediately thought of her moodiness and his own embarrassment that day. He thought that with her high-minded and no-nonsense eldest lady's temper, if he couldn't get it right, he would be driven back again today, and ask the workers in the packaging workshop to watch his jokes again. After a little thought, he said euphemistically:

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, today, I can't talk with you, because today's work task is too heavy, I'm afraid that if I can't complete the task when I come back from the conversation, I will drag everyone down and be fined."

Li took advantage of the heavy work tasks and was afraid of dragging everyone down, so he politely refused Zhang Qian's invitation to talk to him again. In his opinion, work is the most important reason, and Mr. Zhang cannot but consider postponing or abandoning the conversation. But this is just his idea, and in Zhang Qian's opinion, this is not a reason at all. She said:

"That's what you think. This is easy to do, I asked the overseer to waive your quota for today, and you don't have to make up for it in the future. That's the way it should go, right? ”

She immediately called the supervisor to arrange it and make another arrangement for Li's transportation task today. Li had no choice but to follow Zhang Qian to the general manager's office again.

Li walked into Zhang Qian's office and immediately found that the interior layout had changed significantly: the boss's desk in Mr. Zhang's office still hadn't moved, but the sofa on the right side of the boss's desk had been moved to the left. On the right side of the sofa, there is a set of desks and chairs, which are much smaller than her boss's desk and chairs, but they look very elegant. He was a little surprised, and asked puzzledly:

"Mr. Zhang, do you want to add someone to work here?"

"Yes, my general manager's assistant."

"Special assistant to the general manager? What about people? Why haven't you come to work yet? ”

"I haven't been appointed yet. Because I'm still thinking about whether he's loyal and reliable, whether he's up to the task. ”

"I see. The special assistant to the general manager is an important position, which cannot be held by ordinary people, and must be loyal, reliable, and capable. The desk and chair have been set up, and Mr. Zhang probably has a suitable candidate. ”

Zhang Qian shook her head: "No." I'm building a nest to attract phoenixes, and I'm waiting for a vacuum. Do you want to try it? ”

"Me?" Li was very surprised, he immediately remembered Zhang Qian's capriciousness, his attitude was indifferent, and he hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, how can I be qualified for such an important job?" The level of education is low, and he lacks social experience, and he is not good at speech and cannot speak. Besides, Mr. Zhang's special assistant should be a woman. ”

"Why? Why should my assistant be a woman? Shouldn't it be a man? Think about it, if I am in danger, is it the woman who is useful, or the man who is more useful? ”

Mr. Zhang looked at him, but his attitude was not indifferent and ruthless, but warm. Li had no choice but to say:

"In an emergency, of course, it is more useful for men, and men have more strength. However, he should be called a bodyguard, not a special assistant. ”

"This, I don't need you to teach, I have my own naming reason. Because what I need is not only a tall and powerful bodyguard, but also a desperate fighter for me at critical moments to protect my safety; I need a friend who knows the roots, is reasonable, and does his best, and he must be bold and careful, thoughtful and decisive, discerning, and know how to use his mind and brain, and be able to understand my mind and understand my intentions, and help me to drive away the reality and inner demons in a timely manner, so that I can get a bright state of mind, a happy mood, so that I have abundant energy and ability, and properly deal with and solve all the things that make me troubled and unhappy by the company and individuals. ”

"So many features? Then I'm even more incompetent. ”

"How do you know you can't do it without trying? Doesn't this mean that you have surrendered before the war is fought? An ambitious young person should face challenges, be fearless and move forward bravely. As your model song goes: 'The more difficult it is, the more forward.' If you don't even have the courage to give it a try, then what world are you going to come to Shenzhen? Let me tell you: Today's Shenzhen, just like Shanghai Tang before liberation, is a paradise for brave and adventurers. If you want to start a business and become famous, you can only bravely break through and take a risk. If you want to make money safely, then continue to stay in the workshop as a porter, sweat hard, don't make mistakes, and get more than 1,000 yuan a month. If you want to be safe, then you should go back to your home in Daliang Mountain, where the mountains are high and dense, and outsiders are afraid of it, and it is the safest. What I need here is a strong and unyielding person, a brave and fearless person, and I don't need a wreckage without ambition! Please think about it. ”

Mr. Zhang looked at Li with contemptuous, yet expectant, eyes, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Li suddenly realized: Zhang is always cultivating me, reusing me, and transferring me to work, a very challenging job that I can't even dream of! This is my ideal, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and today, my opportunity has finally come! Maybe in this life and this life, erase the humiliation and realize the ideals of childhood, in one fell swoop! He immediately remembered the lofty ideals he had when he went to school with Tao and Xing since he was a child, and remembered his solemn commitment to Tao and Xing to his family and fellow villagers, and felt that his blood was boiling and his courage was doubled. The failure of the college entrance examination, the complaints of his parents, the white eyes of the villagers, the hardships of labor, the ambition since childhood, and the flame of ideals that have not been extinguished so far, all of these are emerging in his mind at this moment, surrounding him, stimulating him, actively encouraging him to seize the opportunity, and warning him not to lose again. At this moment, his mood and understanding completely changed, and Mr. Zhang's indifferent and capricious attitude was regarded as a test and experience for him. He didn't have time to think about it, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he immediately stood upright, and said to Zhang Qian solemnly:

"Mr. Zhang, I'm willing to give it a try. If you don't understand something, please teach me, I promise to study modestly, work hard, adapt to the new job as soon as possible, be competent for the new job, and make you satisfied! ”

"Got it figured? I said ugly before, I am not the emperor's imperial garden, playground, there are also many hardships, hardships, tribulations and unsatisfactory places. I have strict requirements for the work of special assistants, and I will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes. You have to be mentally prepared. Don't regret it in the future, blame me again, resent me for not prompting you beforehand. ”

At this time, Li Yixin only thought about realizing his ideals. After listening to Mr. Zhang's warning, he even remembered Mencius's ancient precept that "the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they can't, so they are motivated to endure and forbear, and they can benefit from what they cannot", and he was determined to endure hardships and work hard. He said:

"I figured it out. When I come out to work, I am prepared to endure hardships and hardships, and I am not afraid. ”

"That's good. I will now appoint you as the special assistant to the general manager, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan and a probationary period of one month. After a month, if you are able to do the job, I will give you a raise; If you can't do it, you go back to the packing workshop as a porter. ”

"Yes. I will study hard, work hard, and be competent as soon as possible, and I will not let you down. Please Mr. Zhang assign me a new work task. ”

"Good. Please take your seat in the Special Assistant to the General Manager. ”

Lee immediately sat down in the empty seat. The new and elegant desk and comfortable chair make him feel comfortable and comfortable. However, he immediately thought of a one-month trial period. If he is not qualified for the work here within a month, he will return to the packing workshop to work as a porter, continue to sweat under the supervision of the foreman, complete the fixed task of moving on time, and receive a salary of 1,500 yuan. He was tired of that job and was looking forward to a new one. Now I finally waited for the opportunity, and the salary was 3,000 yuan, which doubled, and it will rise after becoming a regular. He was both happy and worried that he would not be able to do it, after all, he had not gone to college. He warned himself in his heart: for a month, you must persevere, don't be afraid of hardships and fatigue, study modestly, ask questions if you don't understand, and be competent for work as soon as possible. But thinking of Zhang Qian's moodiness, he felt confused and confused. He looked up at Zhang Qian and saw that she was looking at him intently; He quickly sat up straight and listened to Mr. Zhang's assignment of his new work tasks. He wanted to see which jobs he was able to do now and which ones he couldn't do for the time being, and he needed to learn and hone them.

Mr. Zhang said: "Your work is divided into two parts, one is daily work, and the other is special work. Then she made a specific explanation: "There are several things in my daily work: before I go to work every day, you must organize the office and desk in advance, ensure that the room is clean and hygienic, and the office supplies are in order. When I go to work, someone from each department comes to deliver a report or asks for a question, and you have to stand in front of the office and pick them up: when you come, they say, 'Hello! Mr. Zhang is waiting for you. When walking, it is said to walk slowly, or to walk well. 'When one is done and leaves, another one is arranged, and two and more are not allowed to enter at the same time, which will affect my thinking and handling of problems. Also, you have to learn to drive, I go out on errands, you drive, both as my driver and as my bodyguard. I'll arrange a time for you to learn to drive. ”

When he was studying in Surabaya County, he saw that the cars were very fresh, and he was happy to sit in the car for several days; I didn't expect that I would learn to drive a car today, and it was Mr. Zhang's BMW luxury car. He hurriedly said: "I must learn to drive well, and if I learn, I will drive you well." ”

Mr. Zhang continued: "There is another job that is more important than driving for me, that is, I have frozen shoulder, which is very serious, and it will be very painful after intense work, and I need you to help me massage and massage every day, and at the same time talk to me and chat, so that I can eliminate the pain, feel comfortable, and have no worries at work." ”

The work made Lee embarrassed, and he thought, what is this called work? I'm a man, in the office, massaging the shoulders of a young female boss, rubbing my hands against her, what is this like? How embarrassing? Besides, whether you are in a good mood and whether you have any troubles, that is your heart, the problem of thought, I can solve it by talking and chatting with you? Then you might as well listen to Hou Baolin's cross talk, Master Hou's cross talk is witty and vivid, which is guaranteed to make you feel happy, laugh, no worries, and you don't have to spend so much money. But then he thought: Maybe Zhang always has to test my endurance to see if I can adapt to her special job. Well, if my husband can stretch and bend, for the sake of the realization of my ideals, let's be patient for the time being. Since you assigned these tasks to me as work tasks, I have no choice but to accept them as work tasks, complete them, and deal with you slowly. After all, I have been with Tao and Xing for so many years, and I also know a little about girls' thoughts, tempers, desires, and ideas, and I have a set of ways to deal with it, but I am just overcoming rigidity with softness; I don't know if it can be suitable and applicable to this Hong Kong woman? Give it a try.

Zhang Qian continued: "Special work, this part is the most important, and it is the main reason why I decided to hire special assistance. Therefore, it is called special, which means that the work content and working hours of this part are uncertain, and it may happen at any time, or it may not happen for a long time. However, if it happens, whether you are out of the office during normal working hours or when you are not in the office, as long as you receive my notice, you must be on call, rush to the scene as soon as possible, listen to my instructions, and immediately provide special assistance. If you miss the time, miss my business, or the assistant is not effective, I will punish you severely. On the contrary, if your assistant is timely, competent, effective, and satisfactory to me, I will also reward you heavily, and the amount of the bonus, determined by your work performance and my satisfaction, is far more than your salary! ”

Li Xiang: Special work is so important! Heavy rewards and penalties, bonuses far exceed wages. This is very attractive, isn't it just to make more money when you come out to work? I'm going to do a good job and be on call. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do here, other relatives and acquaintances. However, if I am off work and not in the office, how can I be on call? Did she send someone to call me? I don't know where I am!

At this time, Mr. Zhang took out a mobile phone and put it on the desk, and said: "This is a mobile phone, you have to carry it with you, turn it on 24 hours a day, do not turn it off, listen to my call and command at any time, and you must ensure that you are on call." I hope you will be rewarded more, and don't let me punish you. She thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about phone bills, this is a work expense, and how much is reimbursed by the company." ”

Lee nodded. He walked over and took back his mobile phone, looked at it repeatedly, groped around, but didn't know how to use it, and was afraid that he would be punished for delaying Mr. Zhang's affairs, so he had to say: "Mr. Zhang, you still have to teach me to use a mobile phone, I haven't used this kind of phone, for fear of delaying your big event." ”

"It's easy, come here and I'll teach you."

Li walked up to Mr. Zhang, bent down, lowered his head, and listened to her professor using his mobile phone. Zhang Qian looked at him, her good-looking face was full of youth, she patted his face with her hand and said, "Look, just use it." She taught him patiently.

Li's face immediately turned red, and he felt that the place where he had been slapped by Zhang Qian was hot, like being burned by a soldering iron. His face, when he was a child, his parents touched it, and when he grew up, he touched it with a peach and an apricot, and the rest have not been touched by other women. Now he was touched by Mr. Zhang's fragrant hand. Although there was a faint and faint smell of excellent smell on his face, he still felt humiliated. I thought: Your hand is so noble, it is impossible for anyone who wants to touch it; Why did you touch the face of a mountain baby today? I just pulled the trailer, and I got a stinky sweat on my face, and I'm not afraid of soiling your white and noble jade hands? Thinking so in her heart, it was inconvenient to say it, which made her embarrassed. Thinking about it again, this is nothing, Hong Kong people are very open, do not pay attention to the difference between men and women, and give and receive kisses, this is just a kind of affectionate expression of the boss in order to get closer to his subordinates, and there is no deep meaning; He threw it away and didn't think about it anymore.

He put away his mobile phone, looked at Zhang Qian and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you do in special work, can you make it clearer, I can also study in advance and make the necessary preparations?" ”

"I can't say this now. In short, it's something that happens at any time, and no one can predict it. When something happens, I'll keep you informed of what to do. The preparation you have to do is to be mentally prepared, to listen to my phone calls at any time, to be ready to act. If you lose time and the special assistance is not effective, I will immediately fire you and hire someone else. Remember! ”

"Remembered."

Lee nodded solemnly.

"That's good. You should now write down the work tasks, salaries, rewards and punishments I have assigned to you, and form a mutual agreement, which you and I will sign separately and take effect immediately. In the future, we will do the same, and no one can go back and have no opinions. ”

Li was shocked again: this woman is amazing, she does things step by step, step by step. However, I also think that the labor relationship should be like this, and the commitments of both parties are written into the contract, and there is a good basis for resolving labor disputes in the future. According to what Mr. Zhang just said, it was sorted into articles and written in duplicate; Both of them had no opinion when they read it, and signed their names respectively, one for each person, and stored them separately.
