Chapter 50
When Wang Mei returned to the law firm, the work that had been arranged was waiting, she threw herself into it, and began to get busy again.
After twelve o'clock, most of her colleagues went out to eat, she took out the lunch she had brought from home from her bag, warmed it up a little, sat down to eat, and a colleague at the front desk came over and handed her a letter.
A colleague said; "I'm sorry, it's been a few days since the letter came, because there are other things, it's been delayed, I forgot about it, and I only turned it out today, and I want your understanding."
Wang Mei took the letter, threw it on the table, and said; "It's nothing, forget it, forget it, it's all colleagues, and it's so polite, but I'm embarrassed. Have you eaten it? Sit down and eat some together, I brought a lot of food today, I'm afraid I can't eat alone. ”
A colleague sat next to him and said; "Eat quickly, I've already eaten, I'll just sit here and talk to you, it won't affect your appetite, right?"
Wang Mei said; "What are you talking about, you sit next to me, will I be shy?"
A colleague said; "I'm kidding you, you're serious, two colleagues in our unit have recently resigned and recruited a few more interns, what do you think about this?"
Wang Mei said; "The nature of the audit work determines that the turnover of personnel is more frequent, due to the frequent fatigue and hard work, it is common to change jobs, this is not strange, it is normal, I have no idea, in line with what people often say; Iron battalion and flowing soldiers', are you right? ”
A colleague said; "That's not what I said, the people who went out of our firm in the past were all doing well, I envy them, to be honest, don't you have the idea of changing jobs, don't you want to find a better job?"
Wang Mei thought for a while and said; "I don't want to jump around, that's not good, others will have an opinion about you, I'll just keep doing it here, I don't have any other ideas for the time being."
A colleague said; "I'm different from you, I didn't take the CPA exam, I can only do services at the front desk, it's really not interesting, I keep mixing like this, there is no hope."
Wang Mei said comfortingly; "Don't be discouraged, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be a reward, then again, no matter where you go, you have to work hard, otherwise, no unit will hire you."
The colleague didn't get the answer she wanted, so she got up and left, Wang Mei glanced at the letter on the table, and the word Wenling on the envelope aroused her interest.
Wang Mei hurriedly opened the envelope, and a few lines of words came into view, to the effect that; I have been back to Yinhai for so long, I don't know what I said to her when I left, I don't know if I have thought about it, whether I am willing to come to Wenling to work, the salary is twice as high as in the accounting firm, if I can work for more than two years, I can also allocate shares, I hope to give a reply before the end of the year, and the payment is the financial department of the company.
After Wang Mei read the letter, she quickly stuffed it into her bag, and the other party offered such a good preferential condition, and she was a little excited. I didn't even have the heart to eat, so I sat down at my desk and thought about it seriously.
For a whole afternoon, I don't know how to get over, her mind was messing around, until someone shouted at the end of the day, and she walked out of the office with her colleagues in a daze.
She came home, had a meal in a hurry, and wanted to discuss it with her parents, but after a while, she changed her mind, her parents had worked in the countryside all their lives, and they didn't know much about things outside, and they couldn't come up with a better way, but they made the old man worry about it, and after thinking about it, it was better to discuss it with Zhao Di.
The next day, she got up early, got dressed, washed her face quickly, and her mother called her to have breakfast, she just answered, and hurried out of the door, walked quickly to the nearby public telephone booth, and called Zhao Di's house.
Zhao Di loves to sleep lazily, and was dragged up by her mother in a daze, she walked out of the bedroom, picked up the phone, heard Wang Mei's voice, and said; "Calling so early, is there something urgent?"
She heard Wang Mei on the other end of the phone say; "The sun is getting to the bottom, and you're still sleeping, disturbing your dreams. Without further ado, do you have time today? Let's meet after work, I have something urgent to discuss with you. ”
Zhao Di was still dazed, yawned, and said; "Let me think, oh, by the way, I'm going to go to the field tomorrow to audit, I just have time today, after work, are you looking for me, or am I looking for you?"
Wang Mei said; "Do you remember the place where we had dinner last time, we'll see you there after six o'clock, do you think so?"
Zhao Di said; "Well, it's a deal, and we'll see you there. You're close to the restaurant, go and get a seat early, so you don't have to wait for a seat again. ”
After Wang Mei finished speaking, she hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the street stall, ate some breakfast casually, saw the bus coming, put down the dishes and chopsticks and rushed over, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze up.
She sat at her desk, not thinking about work, her mind was always thinking, weighing the stakes between leaving and staying, and her colleagues were talking to her, and they were also dealing with it randomly, causing dissatisfaction at the next table.
Wang Mei stayed up until the end of work, and the items she carried with her had been packed in advance, she stood up and put on her small bag, took the lead out of the office, and soon came to the restaurant, occupied a seat, and waited for Zhao Di's arrival.
As soon as she ordered the dishes, she saw Zhao Di coming, and warmly beckoned her to sit down, Zhao Di looked at Wang Mei and said; "Are you having a happy event? Then speak up. ”
Wang Mei picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Zhao Di and said; "You just sit down, drink some water first, take a breath and then say, let's talk while eating, here's the thing, I received a letter yesterday, there is a big company in Wenling, let me go to him to do finance, the conditions are very good, double my current salary, work for a certain amount of time, and give the allotment of shares, I am a little tempted, and a little contradictory, I can't make up my mind, so, I will talk to you."
Zhao Di said; "Such good conditions, why don't you go, the treatment is good, the work is easy, it's much better than in the accounting firm, tired and scolded, you haven't had enough, if it's me, I will definitely go, however, I need to emphasize one point, this is just my personal meaning, how to decide in the end, or you have to do it."
Wang Mei lowered her head and thought for a while, felt that Zhao Di made sense, and said; "I have a preliminary idea, say it you listen, I plan to take two steps, one step in place is too risky, don't quit your current job, find a good reason, take a period of leave, go to their company for a few days to work, depending on the situation, if the promise can be fulfilled, I will stay, in case there is a problem, and then come back to work will not be delayed, do you think this method will work? Give me a good counsel. ”
Zhao Di said; "This method is good, it is relatively safe, you have thought it through, I support you, just do what you think, you can go in and back, there will be no mistakes."
The two of them discussed the details for a while, Wang Mei eliminated her worries, and after dinner, she happily sent Zhao Di away, she got on the bus and returned home soon.
When she entered the door and saw her mother cleaning up in the kitchen and her father watching TV, she walked up to her mother and said; "Mom, I'll help you clean up, you go and take a rest, and I have something to talk to you and my dad later."
The mother sat on the couch, waiting for her daughter to come out, and whispered to her husband; "I see my daughter's mysterious appearance, and she is going to talk to us about something in a while, can you guess what she is going to say?"
The old man said; "How can I guess this, I'm not a roundworm in her stomach, when the child says it later, won't you know?"
While the old couple were talking, Wang Mei came out of the kitchen, sat down next to her mother, and said; "Dad, Mom, I have an important matter to tell you. There is a company in the field, let me go there to do finance, the treatment is much more preferential than now, I came back late just now, that is, I went to discuss with my best friend, she also agreed to let me go there to work, I want to ask you, are you willing? ”
As soon as the parents heard that their daughter was going to quit their job, they began to worry, and when they looked at their daughter, they didn't know how to answer, and the father spoke first; "That's what you're talking about, neither your mother nor I understand, and we can't see that far enough to give you ideas. We are all old, we still think it is better to be steady, don't act blindly, I hope you think about it carefully, and leave a way out for yourself. Now that you have made a decision, your mother and I will not stop you, and parents all over the world hope that their children will live well. ”
The mother kept silent, observing her daughter's expression, and said cautiously; "What your father said, you have to think about it, I'm a rural woman, and I haven't seen the world, so it's hard to say anything, and you still have to take the idea yourself."
Wang Mei looked at her mother's worried look, she understood the old man's mood very well, and said; "It's a good thing that I can earn money, and my younger brother will build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, so I don't have to worry about it. He works in other places, and his salary for a year is not much, and the company will give me shares in the future, and our family's future life will be guaranteed, and you don't have to worry about the dowry of my sister's marriage, right? ”
Father said; "Child, if it's really as good as you say, it's too late for me and your mother to be happy, how can I stop you from going to a high place?"
After Wang Mei explained, the parents also knew about their daughter's new job, and if they could earn money, they would acquiesce, Wang Mei said happily; "Dad, Mom, don't worry about me, don't go anywhere, rent a house without retreating, just live here and take care of yourself. It won't be long before I'll arrange that over there and I'll be back to pick you up soon. ”
Wang Mei had no fetters, and began to proceed according to her own plan, thinking that the project she was responsible for must have a beginning and an end, and she must not leave a bad impression on her leaders and colleagues.
Saying goes; 'People are in good spirits when they are happy'. Wang Mei seems to see a good life beckoning, her mental outlook has also changed, and when she sees her colleagues not smiling or talking, she has changed people's impression of her shyness.
Wang Mei happily put herself into work, the audit efficiency has been greatly improved, she is close to crazy work, colleagues think she is in love, otherwise, where is such a big motivation.
She was about to leave, and her parents had not yet visited the silver sea, so she took her parents to the river on Sunday, bought cruise ship tickets, and prepared to go to sea.
While waiting in line to get on the boat, Wang Jianguo suddenly appeared in front of them and said; "Uncle, aunt, the weather is good today, Wang Mei is with you to play, it just so happens that I also bought a ticket for this time, let's go to sea together to see."
Wang Mei saw that he was wearing a brand new dress, and he was also very energetic, and said with a smile; "The two of you are also resting today, looking at your suits and leather shoes, are you going to go on a blind date or to play?"
Wang Jianguo felt that she had changed, and began to joke with himself, with a sense of joy in his heart, but also a little restrained, and said; "You've never joked with me, today it's like a different person, is there something happy, say it and we'll be happy together."
When she was about to speak, the flow of people in the queue slowly moved forward, they followed closely, and after a few people got on the boat, the cruise ship quickly drove to the middle of the river, and the high-rise buildings on the riverside looked shorter.
Wang Jianguo and his friends accompanied Wang Mei's parents to the bow of the boat, brought two chairs, and politely invited the two old men to sit down.
Wang Mei looked at Wang Jianguo surrounding her parents, buying drinks and talking with her, just like her son, she took care of him considerately and thoughtfully, and she had an inexplicable good impression of him.
They took a luxury cruise ship, the waiter on the ship, walking around with a drink in one hand, the service attitude was very good, Wang Jianguo bought three cups of coffee, two cups of milk, and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River with great interest.
The cruise ship sailed out of the estuary, circled the offshore water, turned back, returned the same way, and headed for the place of departure, and the time passed unconsciously.
After the group went ashore, Wang Jianguo accompanied Wang Mei's parents and went to the City God Temple for a walk, and after coming out, he invited the two old people to go to the Western restaurant for a light meal, and the old man said embarrassedly; "Young man, it's very expensive to eat out, don't break the bank, leave the money to marry a daughter-in-law, we will get home soon by bus."
Wang Mei's parents couldn't shirk it, Wang Jianguo looked at her helplessly, his eyes showed the meaning of asking for help, Wang Mei also wanted her parents to eat Western food once, so she said; "Dad, Mom, you haven't been to the Silver Sea Hotel yet, there are a lot of foreigners there, go and see what they look like, and when you see the old family in the future, you can also tell a few jokes."
When they came to the Russian restaurant, Wang Jianguo asked for a private room, Wang Mei's parents saw that there were no chopsticks on the table, and in front of the five people, there were knives, forks and spoons, and asked their daughter in a low voice; "Why don't you have chopsticks, how to eat here, you tell the waiter, can you take two pairs of chopsticks, I and your mother will use them."
She whispered into her father's ear; "Dad, you are rare and strange, foreigners don't know how to use chopsticks, they use knives, forks and spoons to eat, don't be surprised."
