Chapter 69: The Pie and the Trap
Happy times are always fleeting. It is both nostalgic and helpless. Life can't keep you in a dream forever, it needs you to work hard for it, to fight for it. The sweetness it gives you is only to motivate you to work hard and fight for it, and it is a source of motivation for you, not the final result that you can enjoy forever.
After returning from a vacation in Southeast Asia, Kim Junchun returned to his company and felt that he had returned to reality from his dream. He found that everything needed to start all over again, and his job position adjusted.
Jin Junchun went from being a salesman in a department to being an assistant to the head of the department. He's busier than ever. I am busy formulating various plans and tasks, compiling various project plans, and often going on business trips to other places, and they are all long and far away, so busy that it is rare to meet Jin Xiuyu once a month. Every time he returned to Jin Xiuyu's house exhausted, Jin Xiuyu had fallen asleep.
Soon after returning from vacation, Jin Xiuyu felt unwell, and Jin Xiuyu's mother took her to the hospital for more than a dozen tests, and it turned out that she was somewhat unexpectedly pregnant. Knowing the news of Xiuyu's pregnancy, Deputy General Manager Jin and his wife stayed up all night happily, and after the two discussed, they arranged a separate room facing the garden for Jin Xiuyu and re-laid a thick carpet. According to Xiuyu's wishes, she purchased a new set of more advanced audio equipment so that she could conduct prenatal education on the fetus.
From the day they learned that Xiuyu was pregnant, Kim so-yu's parents made a clear request to Kim Jun-chun that they could no longer share a bed with Kim so-ok. They were afraid that he didn't understand what they meant, so they didn't want to hint at it, but informed him directly and arranged another room for him. He certainly had no problem with such an arrangement, but felt a deep distrust of the way they had treated him. Deputy General Manager Jin treats all his subordinates like he does in the company and never asks for his opinion. What was decided, just informed him, he could only accept the arrangement, and he did not have any right to choose.
Under the care of Deputy General Manager Jin, Jin Junchun was arranged to a branch in the field from the position of assistant to the head of the department, and asked him to serve as the assistant manager of the branch, saying that it was to focus on cultivating his organizational and leadership skills. Jin Junchun can only express his gratitude to the leaders of the head office for their trust in him. Returning to this home once in a while made him feel that he had become an uncommon guest in this house.
When the child was born, Jin Junchun was also in a branch in a foreign country, and it was not until he came back from vacation a month later that he learned that Xiuyu had given birth to a boy, and his name had already been named, and he had also registered at the police station. The child's big name is Jin Huiye, and his small name is Panpan. Jin Junchun felt that although he was the father of this child, he had nothing to do for the child. Although Xiuyu didn't explain it to him, he could also guess that this name meant the glorious Jin family's business.
Kim Junchun just thinks that the child's nickname is too cheesy. Unexpectedly, when Deputy General Manager Jin heard him say this, he laughed out loud: "It's just a little cheesy, a little cheesy is better, and a cheesy name will make the child healthier." You're from a rural background, don't you know that? ”
He remembered his nickname, the nickname given by his parents after he was born, and no one else could guess it anyway, it was called Little Pig. He sometimes thinks it's funny when he thinks about it, he asks his parents why they have this nickname that embarrasses him when he hears it, and what they say is almost the same as Deputy General Manager Jin: "The name is cheap and easy to raise up, as long as the person is not cheap." ”
Of course, Jin Junchun's nickname is only known to his friends in the same village, and no one calls it anymore after he goes to college. Colleagues don't even know, he never mentions this matter in front of outsiders, but occasionally thinks about it, and he always feels a little depressed in his heart. After listening to Deputy General Manager Jin's words, he could only nod in agreement and said, "Also, the child's nickname is cheesy, and it seems that it is easy to raise up." ”
On that day, Jin Junchun seemed to have a trace of sadness in his heart inexplicably, he felt that in this family, he was just an insignificant outsider, and no one would feel his existence except himself. Jin Xiuyu only has children in her eyes, and they only have children in their eyes, and they all seem to be blind to him.
When Jin Junchun's vacation was about to end, he finally couldn't help but ask Jin Xiuyu suspiciously: "Am I air?" I seem to have become the air that everyone needs and everyone ignores? In this home, I can't even feel my own presence? ”
Jin Xiuyu looked at him a little melancholy, then shook her head and said, "Why do you have such thoughts?" It's because you're too careful, at least in my heart, there is your place, you shouldn't have this kind of heart. He smiled bitterly and glanced at the child Jin Xiuyu was holding in his arms, he wanted to tell her that Deputy General Manager Jin had not listened to him report on his work for several months, was this his own care?
After returning to the branch, Jin Junchun began his busy work again. When you get busy, you will naturally have fewer worries. One day, when he was sitting in his office thinking about his thoughts, the assistant walked in: "Deputy General Manager Jin came to inspect the branch and asked you to meet him." He was a little stunned, in the past, when Deputy General Manager Jin came to the branch to inspect the work, he would not come directly to call him.
Jin Junchun walked into Deputy General Manager Jin's temporary office with some uneasiness, Deputy General Manager Jin's face was full of anger, and he casually threw a few photos in front of him: "Can you explain it to me?" He picked up the photo and was shocked into a cold sweat, it turned out that when he received a kickback from a customer, someone secretly took a photo and left evidence.
Jin Junchun's worst worry still happened, he was originally resolute not to give the kickback from this customer, but he couldn't withstand the repeated persuasion of the customer, and finally accepted it. He knew that the identity of this customer was a little special, he was an old friend of the branch manager, and the branch manager was the confidant of Deputy General Manager Jin himself. Jin Junchun thought very simply at the time, they must have given themselves kickbacks for the sake of their father-in-law's face. In this case, this customer will definitely not say it, and nothing will happen. He never expected that he still miscalculated and fell into the trap set by others.
Who will set this trap? Jin Junchun was puzzled. He had all kinds of answers in his heart, maybe it was his former rivals, they didn't get into Deputy General Manager Jin's house to become Chenglong's fast son-in-law, and they set a trap with envy and jealousy, intending to see his jokes. Maybe it's the opponents in the business field, those opponents are everywhere, you don't know where you will spoil the good things of others, and they are worried about it, they have all kinds of ways to kill you......
"You've let me down so much. Can you please tell me, how do I go about this to the general manager? How do I explain this to the other partner? Tell them you're my son-in-law and break up with them? Announcing the withdrawal from the partnership? Or let the company go out of business? Going with you to drink the Northwest Wind? Don't you know who you are now? Someone else can do something like that, just punish him. It's not the same thing that you did such a thing! It will shake the mutual trust that has been built up between the company's partners for decades, and this mutual trust is not easy to come by. Without this mutual trust, there would be no sincere cooperation between the partners of the company. The result of mutual suspicion is inevitably the bankruptcy and collapse of the company. There's no way I'm going to allow that to happen, so you're going to have to eat the consequences. ”
Deputy General Manager Jin looked at him mockingly: "If you are given the right way, you don't leave, but you have to engage in this set of tricks." It's your own choice, and no one else can help you. Let's go, leave the company, leave Xiuyu. Go far away, and don't let me see you again. ”
Jin Junchun's brain seemed to have been hit by something, and he suddenly felt that he had been deliberately calculated. He began to doubt Deputy General Manager Qijin, and he also began to doubt everything he had been through. In the end, he was convinced that he had stupidly fallen into the big pit designed by Deputy General Manager Jin, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle, so he could only leave consciously with a disgraced face.
The love he had had was just a gentle trap, and now he could only nod his head to agree to the divorce, just like facing a crashing computer, he had to press the restore button, and everything was back to its original state.
Dongfang Siyi looked at the plaintiff Jin Xiuyu and asked, "Plaintiff Jin Xiuyu, do you insist on asking for a divorce?" ”
Jin Xiuyu took a napkin from the table again, wiped the tears on her face and said firmly: "I insist on divorce, if he is willing to divorce, we can sit down and negotiate conditions, and I can accept mediation." If he does not agree to the divorce, ask the court to make a judgment in accordance with the law. ”
Dongfang Siyi turned his head to look at Jin Junchun again: "Defendant Jin Junchun, the plaintiff insists on divorcing you, do you agree?" ”
Jin Junchun knew that he didn't even have the strength to fight anymore, the child was surnamed Jin regardless of his father's surname or his mother's surname, and the child who was still breastfeeding was naturally raised by his mother, and they wouldn't care and would not ask him to bear child support, not because they were kind, but because they had complete contempt for him: "I agree to the divorce, but I hope they can give me, the person who works for them, a minimum of respect, and I reserve the right to visit the child in the future." ”
He looked sadly at Jin Xiuyu, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat opposite, and felt that the last bit of dignity on his face was being stripped away little by little. He didn't hate her, he knew that she was as sad as himself at the moment, and when family and love encountered a desperate situation where they couldn't live together, it was irreproachable for her to choose the family affection that she couldn't give up.
Jin Junchun finally admitted in his heart that it was not her who was wrong, it was himself who was wrong, he had neither the ability to defend his love, nor the moral height to evaluate the abandonment of others, he needed to have a dignity, as the confidence to be a man and the last courage in life, but because of his mistakes, he was unable to maintain the dignity he lost.
When he chooses to start from scratch, he may eventually understand that the dignity of the human person is priceless, and if you care about it, you must be careful to protect it. Dignity can only be maintained by one's own struggle, and any dignity obtained with the help of external forces is fragile, and where it comes from, it will also be lost. The dignity of the human personality has nothing to do with money, status, interests, etc., it is only the guardian of the self-reliant and self-confident soul in your heart.
