Due to Li's hard work, half a year later, the business of Shenzhen Zhang's Electronics Company has been expanded, and some employees need to be supplemented. Li asked Zhang Dong, who was very satisfied and instructed him to recruit on his own. Li handed over this work to Secretary Wang, put up advertisements, and recruited talents.

On this day, Secretary Wang's office walked into a tall, thin, glasses-wearing, well-mannered young man, who said that his name was Ding Kai, a graduate of Hebei Institute of Technology, and had worked as a marketing manager in a local state-owned factory. Li happened to come in, listened to the introduction, looked at the young man carefully, and felt familiar, so he stepped forward and asked:

"Your name is Ding Kai? Graduated from our provincial institute of engineering? ”

"Our province? Your home is also from Hebei Province? Ding Kai looked at the tall, handsome and personable company executive in front of him, thinking in his heart who he was and why he asked like this.

Secretary Wang listened to their conversation and explained: "This is the general manager of our company, Li Dai, and his hometown is also from Hebei Province. ”

Li then nodded and introduced himself: "I am from Daliangshan District, Liangshan City, Hebei Province. ”

"You're also from Daliang Mountain?" Ding Kai was surprised.

"Have you been to Daliang Mountain?"

"Nope. One of my college classmates is from Daliang Mountain. ”

When Li Wen heard this, he immediately thought of Xing, because so far there is only one college student in Daliang Mountain, and he is from Hebei Institute of Technology. He immediately blurted out:

"Apricot! The classmate you are talking about must be apricots? ”

"yes, you know apricots too?"

"Don't you know? Fellow! of the same village. ”

Li is almost certain that the Ding Kai in front of him is Xing's former boyfriend in the engineering college. Through other classmates, he learned about Xing's life in the engineering college, and knew that she fell in love again after entering college. He used to feel glad about it, thinking that Apricot was back in love and had a new boyfriend to care for her, so he could feel less guilty about Apricot from then on. I didn't want Xing to meet a white-eyed wolf, but after this person was assigned work, he empathized and fell in love with his factory director's daughter, left Xing, and got married. But Xing still misses him, and has been assigned to work for many years, but he is still alone and has not fallen in love and married. He really wanted to know about Ding Kai's love life in order to judge this person's character and decide whether to hire him. So he said to Secretary Wang, "This gentleman, I want to talk to him alone." ”

Li brought Ding Kai into the general manager's office, asked in detail after giving up his seat, and this person was really Xing's ex-boyfriend.

Li wanted to know the real reason why he abandoned the apricot and the current situation, so he continued to ask: "Didn't you say that after you joined the work, you married your factory director's daughter and lived a very happy life, why did you come out to work?" ”

Ding Kai saw that he asked about the old things and sighed: "It's really hard to say! ”

He said that after a period of marriage, life was relatively happy, and his father-in-law promoted him to be the director of the marketing department and bought them a three-bedroom building. Later, his father died of illness, and his mother was alone in the countryside, so he took his mother to live with him. But the wife couldn't tolerate it, saying that her parents bought the house for her, and she could only live in it for him, not for his mother. He said that his parents were only one of his sons, and now that his father has died, who does his mother not live with him? The wife said that it was his business, she didn't care, anyway, she didn't live with his mother. He thought that his wife was just talking, so he forcibly picked up his mother from his hometown in the countryside. Unexpectedly, his wife did what she said, and she kicked his mother out of the house and threw out all the things his mother brought from home. When he saw that he couldn't make sense with his wife, he went to his parents-in-law, hoping that they would come forward to persuade his daughter to accept his mother, but he didn't want them to say that it was your family matter, and they were inconvenient to meddle and refused to help, obviously towards their daughter. He had no choice but to send his mother back to his hometown and come back to have a big quarrel with his wife. The wife said, "You must live with me or with your mother, and you can't have both." He said, "If you don't accept my mother, I won't accept you." So he left his wife and rented a house. After half a year like this, they refused to give in, and finally divorced. After another half a year, he decided to resign and find another way to make a living, so he came to Shenzhen.

Li asked Ding Kai: "Do you have any children?" ”

"Nope. My parents have always wanted a grandchild, so they always wanted me to get married early, because I was an only child. But she has always refused to give birth, saying that women are easy to age when they give birth. Maybe she was premeditated. ”

"Not necessarily, because the divorce happened later."

"You don't know, because my family is rural and poor, she and her family have always looked down on me, and even more on my parents."

"Then why did she marry you in the first place?"

"Because I'm a college student, it's rare to find a few in our factory."

"Your ex-wife is also a college student?"

"It's not. I dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school. ”

"Vanity! I have a low education, and I want to find a husband with a high education, not to follow the knowledge and culture, but to put on a façade for myself; This is a common problem for girls from this kind of family. At about the beginning, she didn't really love you, but for her own good looks, improve her worth, and not be looked down upon by others, saying that she was uneducated. So he persuaded Ding Kai: "This kind of person, just leave, there is no regret, since she has this kind of thinking, problems will happen sooner or later." ”

Li didn't know why he made a comment about Ding Kai's ex-wife's vanity, but he didn't blame Ding Kai for his tendency to be inflammatory, liking the new and forgetting the old, and seeing different things.

"Is your mother well? How does she live alone in the countryside? Li thought of Ding Kai's statement that his father had died and his mother was living alone in the countryside, and he couldn't help but ask when he thought of his parents.

"Not good. My mother was seriously ill after returning home, and after she recovered, she always coughed, and in spring and autumn she was better, but in winter she coughed and wheezed so much that she often had to take medicine and injections. So, I have to hurry up and find a job so that I can send my salary to my mother's medical treatment. ”

"What a dutiful son! Well, I also came from the countryside, as long as you are willing to work hard, I will help you. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Li! I won't let you down. ”

Ding Kai heard that Li was always Xing's fellow countryman, so he took the opportunity to ask Xing about his situation after graduating from university. Li told him that after graduation, Xing was assigned to work as an engineer in the Liangshan Tractor Factory, and although the salary was not much, the job was quite satisfactory. Ding Kai sighed and said: "It's all to blame for my eyes and ignorance of Jin Xiangyu, vanity, I met a fox spirit who fascinated my eyes, and I didn't distinguish between good and evil, and as a result, I married a bad woman, hurt and lost a good woman, and I regret it in this life!"

Hearing Ding Kai say this, it seems that there is a sense of regret and repentance. Who young man has not made a mistake? I've done it myself. So Li told him: "I heard that Xing is not married yet, maybe you still have hope to get back to the old days." And asked him to take the initiative to get in touch with Xing. Ding Kai sighed and said: "I rejected her back then, and now I have fallen into such a situation, and I have no face to reminisce about the old feelings." ”

It seems that this man still knows a little bit of shame. Li didn't know Xing's true thoughts, whether he had been in love recently, and it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he had to leave him first. After discussing with Secretary Wang, he decided to hire Ding Kai and assign him to work in the marketing department.

Ding Kai thanked Li Neng for putting down the general manager's shelf, opening his mind, talking with him about the old days, and hiring him and assigning him a good job, so he respected Li very much. To learn more, he knew that Mr. Li was not only Xing's fellow villager, but also a classmate from elementary school to high school, and his wife's name was Tao, and she was the deputy general manager of his hometown Liangshan County Tourism Corporation, so he believed that this Mr. Li was the Li who wrote an apology letter to Xing. He saw that Li was upright, noble, and had a good reputation in the company, so he believed that Xing's words were true and credible, and he was suspicious and wronged Xing.

Li has also been paying attention to Ding Kai's performance, and saw that he was conscientious and responsible for his work, down-to-earth and hard-working, not afraid of trouble and hard work, and was humble and polite, which was quite praised. He received a monthly salary, which he first sent to his mother, and then arranged his own life. He lived a frugal personal life and never smoked or drank too much. He also often called his mother to inquire about his physical condition, and told his mother to pay attention to the cold and warmth, and to see her early if she was sick. Another good habit is to keep a diary every day to record the life experiences and thoughts and feelings of the day.

After a period of observation and testing, Li felt that Ding Kai was a good person, although he had been ambitious and had seen different ideas in the past, but the setbacks had made him accept the lesson, and there was a sense of repentance in his words. Today, he is careful and steady, polite to others, and a humble gentleman. And he is very knowledgeable, and his work and ability are very good. is still a dutiful son, and he is concerned about his mother in the countryside. It is rare for people to be like this. He felt that if Xing was willing, they could reconnect with the old relationship and renew the old friendship, which would be a good thing. He even planned to recommend Ding Kai to Zhang Qian and take over his work after he left.

Maybe it was Li's enthusiasm that touched Ding Kai, maybe Ding Kai still thought about Xing's good to him, one day after work, Ding Kai took the initiative to find Li, hesitated, he said that he still loved Xing in his heart, and hoped to apologize to her, get her forgiveness, and get back together. Lee said, "That's a good thing, and I support you. And wrote Xing's mailing address to Ding Kai. Ding Kai said that he used to hurt Xing too deeply and too heavily, and he was afraid that if he contacted her directly, he would be rejected or even humiliated; I hope that Li will do some work from it, and then, he will contact Xing directly. Li immediately promised him that he would definitely help him with his work
