Chapter 273: Give Yourself a Vacation
Things in the company have finally come to an end. Due to the dismantling of the market, the volume of freight has also decreased all of a sudden, and my work schedule has returned to normal.
After the weekend, I was flipping through the books I needed to refer to for writing my thesis, and I suddenly felt that reading these books at the moment was different from before. I especially want to put some of my new understanding of the topic into words and enrich my thesis, and this feeling is so strong! I couldn't wait to start revising my paper right away.
In the past two or three years, I seem to have put all my energy into my work. Recall that you came to Moscow for the sake of this perverted job?
Seeing my classmates leave one by one, do I really want to delay my studies because I will never earn enough money?
To be honest, I don't really like my current job. Our customs clearance company, as Sergey said, its legality is open to debate. Today, the shrinkage of our sector is proof of this. In the long run, this is a job with no future, and I really need to think about what I want to do next!
Maybe I've made some money in the past two years at the customs clearance company, but I don't feel like I need it so much.
Also, the company's headaches really tortured me enough, and I also needed to take a break from my body and mind to relax my nerves.
Sergey will not expand the company as frantically as he used to, and my departure will not cause too much trouble to his work.
By the way, didn't Andrey always want to see Lake Baikal? It's probably the most beautiful time of year there. Maybe we'll find a chance to go there together in between trips. He has been working very hard for the past six months, and the hot springs in Buryatia will definitely make my Andrey stronger. If Li Bailing's boyfriend had gone there to recuperate earlier, wouldn't he have been so young......
I came to Sergey's office on Monday and saw that he was as busy as ever.
- "Sergey, are you free?" I'll invite you to lunch in a moment. I laughed
A hint of surprise flashed in Sergei's eyes when he heard my words, but he didn't ask much and said with a smile:
- "That's good! ”
At a pizza shop near our company, I handed him the recipe and said:
- "Don't think you're going to get a big meal, even if I'm willing to spend money, I'm afraid you don't have enough time." ”
- "It's a nice place. Originally, I just wanted to have a simple meal in the company restaurant at noon today. Sergey replied with a smile.
After ordering, Sergei looked at me with a smile and asked:
- "Linna, what advice?" ”
- "Hmm! Instruction is there. Not mine, though! I'd love to hear what your thoughts on the future of our company? I said
Hearing me say this, Sergei stared at me with his big blue eyes in his hand on his chin, smiled and said:
- "Linna, I should have thought you had this doubt. ”
The waiter brought us pizza, Sergey cut off a piece and put it on my plate and said:
- "The future of the company is indeed an issue that should not be avoided. Lina, I think you've already seen that the way we set up our company and the way we work is one thing – speculative! This is also the basis of the existence of this company. The course of development of Russian society provided such conditions, but as everything gradually became formalized, the conditions for the survival of the company gradually disappeared. How long the company can exist depends not entirely on our own management and operation, but on the direction and course of Russian society......"
- "Do you love what we do?" I asked
- "Good question, Linna! I've asked myself this question as well. ”
Sergey's eyes lit up at me and continued
- "At first, I agreed to set up this company because I wanted to challenge myself. Hehe...... Although I had predicted the difficulties of managing such a company, it was much more than I had imagined. The customs clearance company is really a different company! ”
Sergey smiled bitterly and continued
- "However, this is also the reason why I have always insisted on it, to say that I love this career, hehe, Linna, do you think this is possible?" I don't even think we're in a business at all, it's just ......"
Sergei raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
- "It's just that you think this kind of work has also given you too many unexpected gains, right?" I said
Sergei didn't squeak when he heard this, but I saw in his eyes the approval of my words.
I suddenly remembered that Andrei said that my eyes could not hide anything. Looking at Sergei in front of me, I thought to myself, although Sergei's personality makes people feel a little hidden, but his big eyes will still reveal his heart to some extent.
- "Linna, what do you think about this job?" Sergey asked
- "I came for you to be reinstated this time. Now I don't think the company will need so many people in the future. Would it be difficult for you if I stayed here? I laughed
- "Linna, you were invited back by me. I do appreciate your talents, and I think we've always had a great time working together, but now you're in a different position? Or do you feel that the job is not going well? Sergey asked
- "To be honest, I don't really like the work itself. But I'm glad you invited me back to work. As you said, we've been a great time working together, and you've taught me so much...... So it's always been a privilege for me to work under you. I don't have any job I want to change jobs! I just feel like I should concentrate on finishing my studies first...... Hehe...... Anyway, I haven't made any less money from you in the past two years. I feel like I have the conditions to study full-time now," I said with a smile.
- "Although our customs clearance company has laid off a large number of employees, however, Linna, don't worry, I guarantee that this will not be your turn!" But, from the point of view of your own development, I think your idea makes sense!
Judging from the current development trend, even if a customs clearance company like ours does not go bankrupt in the future, it will never have the glory of the past. The country's supervision of customs is becoming more and more strict, and there will no longer be such a large number of gray customs products.
I don't know how much interest the board has in such a company that doesn't bring in a lot of profits. Sergey said
- "Will the board of directors let you run another company?" I asked
- "I haven't thought about this yet, but, Lina, I'm already preparing my own company, and I hope that one day, I can invite you over and we can continue to work together." ”
Sergei said with sincerity in his eyes.
- "Great! Sergey, I'm really looking forward to this day! Looking at the ambitious Sergei, I said happily
