To be honest, I was curious about what my colleagues were chatting about. In the past, everyone in the unit where I worked would talk about gossip and anecdotes, but the content was completely different from what I heard here.

Colleagues in Russian companies seem to be very concerned about world affairs and are especially keen to talk about politics. Including international politics and perceptions of the Russian government. Of course, they sometimes complain about the shortcomings of their own people and the people and things that make them unhappy.

However, I think the most talked about is about some news topics, especially about some sports competitions.

Female colleagues pay more attention to fashion, and occasionally pick up their husbands or boyfriends' troubles together.

Of course, the opinions of leaders and colleagues are not silent, but they seem to be all complaints in a few words. It's the first time I've heard everyone gather together so blatantly to talk about the rights and wrongs of a certain leader and colleague. It seems that the focus of my Chinese colleagues is also very different from that of my previous Russian colleagues.

When I think back to my work experience, I suddenly feel that I have never understood the mentality of my colleagues in the domestic workplace, let alone the sophistication of the people here.

My first job after graduation was as a translator in a Sino-Russian joint venture shopping mall. I was the only one working in our mall in Chita, two Chinese, a kind Chinese manager who often returned to China.

At that time, I seemed to learn Russian most often with my Russian colleagues, and I didn't seem to know that I could tell you gossip about acquaintances.

A year later I went to Moscow.

Let's not mention that I didn't even have time to meet with the owner of the seafood seller, even later in Sister Yuan's company, I only got our "Chinese Daily" in my office. I didn't have much contact with other colleagues.

After that, I worked in the customs clearance company led by Sergei, and I couldn't finish the serious things I was busy with every day, so how could I have time to talk about those gossip!

I think the most I think is to complain to Katya about Sergei who kept us from resting, and then to listen to her and me about her and her boyfriend's "Love and Hate".

I originally thought that I already knew the rules of the workplace, but I was really frustrated in Mr. Jia's travel company.

However, my relationship with Natasha and Jima was so tense that I couldn't even communicate normally, let alone chat together.

The reason I left Roman had to do with their standard Russian corporate management system.

Although we were working with a Chinese contractor, the management was all Russian. It's like I'm still working in Russia, and I don't feel the Chinese corporate culture at all.

Speaking of which, Dr. Zhang's Internet company is quite down-to-earth, but our fledgling colleagues don't seem to have been contaminated with workplace vices, and I was fired before I had time to have any conflicts with everyone.

Speaking of which, Mr. Su's group allowed me to really step into the domestic workplace.

If it weren't for the work experience of Mr. Jia and Dr. Zhang, which made me feel a certain amount of mental preparation to deal with domestic leaders, I really don't know how many jokes I would make with my tendonous personality.

Thinking of this, I began to look at my colleagues and say to myself, I am not close to my colleagues.

I thought it might be more of my responsibility. Because, I know my personality, and even if I don't feel like I'm rejecting people, I'm definitely not particularly enthusiastic.

Actually, I've always been a person who does things according to my feelings. I can't always muster myself to compliment and please people and things I don't appreciate, even though it's sometimes necessary. But I'm just not good at it, and I can't learn it.

I hate this flaw of myself. However, that's the ceiling of my emotional intelligence.

I really don't know how to overcome and change this shortcoming.

Today, I understand the profound meaning of the phrase "overcoming yourself is the most difficult".
