Chapter 1: Strange Dreams
In May, the sun is blazing.
In the past, May was full of flowers and verdant spring, but this year's May seems to have entered the hot summer in advance.
The sky was hung with a fireball-like sun, and the clouds seemed to be burned by the sun, and the edges glowed fiery red, reflecting the entire sky in orange, and there was not a trace of blue in sight.
In particular, the heat is inescapable, causing headaches, whether you are walking on the road, or entering the shadows of trees or houses, whether in the morning or at night, the heat is always with you, haunts you, and upsets you.
The news media rushed to report on this unusual weather phenomenon.
Experts expressed their opinions, and the mainstream theory is that global warming seriously threatens the earth's own heat balance system, resulting in abnormal weather, and at the same time calls on human beings to protect the earth's environment, reduce carbon emissions, and take care of our homeland......
Chen Haotian had a nervous breakdown, feeling that his head might not be normal and on the verge of going crazy.
Lately he's been having the same dream every night.
Other people's dreams are not colorful, at least they have to have some plot ups and downs, and as a result, he only dreams of a group of large fireballs falling from the sky and smashing them at him with dazzling light.
"Chirp...... Boom ......"
Night after night of "chirping...... Boom", the bad heart that Chen Haotian felt in this dream, every time he deeply felt the heat that he couldn't breathe, the pain of the flames scorching his skin, and even the burnt smell of hair......
Every time he woke up, he was sweating profusely and couldn't fall asleep again.
Friendship Medical Devices, Inc.
In the open office area, Chen Haotian sat in his seat, listless and yawning.
"Smack!"
A quarterly business report appeared on Chen Haotian's desk, which frightened him so much that he almost jumped up, and when he looked up, he saw the company's manager with his eyebrows upside down, his face burning with anger, and then a roar followed.
"What are you tweeting about? I want the second quarter report, what are you giving me? What are you thinking about all day? Don't you want to do it, don't you want to do it, get out of here......
The other members of the office hurriedly bowed their heads and made a busy gesture.
Chen Haotian hurriedly stood up and explained to the manager: "I'm sorry, manager, I may have taken it wrong, you see, many colleagues are watching! I have been ...... in the past few days."
He has been dreaming of big fireballs at night recently, and he is drowsy as soon as he goes to work during the day, and he has been worried about it, always thinking crankily, analyzing whether he has a tumor in his head or has schizophrenia.
It is conceivable that in this state, he didn't have the heart to work at all, and in the process of analysis, he accidentally scribbled the dream onto the quarterly report, and the manager estimated that he couldn't stand his listlessness every day, and completely broke out.
"Why, you still know it's a shame?"
The manager picked up the report and threw it on Chen Haotian's desk again.
"Look at what you're doing, the business volume is zero, forget it, and fill it all with tweets, and draw a big fireball next to it, what's the matter? I'm afraid I can't understand it?
"Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you here, go to the finance and get this month's salary, and get out. ”
After the manager finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his office.
"I'll you......"
This made Chen Haotian angry, in front of so many colleagues, he trained himself like a third grandson, and no one could bear it!
I saw that the general manager turned his head suddenly, his eyes were like copper bells, which frightened Chen Haotian, and quickly swallowed the word "uncle" back into his stomach.
"I'll you...... Office, manager, you've got to listen to me!"
Chen Haotian plans to admit that he has not received his basic salary this month, and he scolds himself twice to be happy, and his salary is probably gone, and then by the way, see if this matter can be reversed, and survive this summer.
On this hot day, I can't look for a job everywhere at all.
The manager waved his hand: "No need to explain, hurry up, go to finance." ”
The manager was in a very pleasant mood.
Chen Haotian is also good-looking, very affinity, and eloquence, but his ideas always conflict with the manager, so the manager never tires of it.
For example, the manager thinks that the stents for heart bypass imported from Germany have a purchase price of more than 1,000 yuan, plus doctors and sales commissions sold to patients for more than 40,000 yuan, which is cheap in China.
Chen Haotian felt that it was too profitable, and even proposed to reduce the price at the meeting, saying that the company should build a conscientious enterprise in order to maintain sustainable development......
The manager thought, "You've made a lot of achievements!" What kind of sustainable development do you talk about as a small salesman, is it your business? It affects the morale of the company's employees, can such a black sheep be retained by the company?
After receiving his salary, Chen Haotian said goodbye to his colleagues one by one under the tearful gaze of his colleague Huang Ying.
His performance in the company is average, mainly because he is more resistant to the medical device industry, feels that it is not in line with his outlook on life, and is even more reluctant to deal with hospitals.
But he is more enthusiastic and usually helpful, so he has a good relationship with his colleagues.
Especially the new colleague Huang Ying, Chen Haotian saw that she was kind-hearted and diligent, and usually gave her a lot of help, so that later the two helped each other in work and made progress in thought, and they both became revolutionary partners.
This separation......
"Brother Xiaotian, why don't you go to the manager and talk about it again?" Huang Ying came to him, and said with red eyes.
Chen Haotian looked at the girl in front of him, her long straight hair spread out on her back, a simple headband set off the black and bright hair, and under the neat and quiet bangs, a pair of eyes were moving.
Huang Ying bit her lip lightly with her upper teeth, and stood there slim, as delicate as a flower.
Chen Haotian's heart was pounding and he was reluctant to give up.
Chen Haotian patted the little girl on the shoulder: "Don't do it, I didn't have much interest in this industry, people always have to do something they like." As for you...... Forget it, call me if you have any difficulties. ”
As the words fell, Chen Haotian waved his hand with the other colleagues and turned to leave.
The girl looked at Chen Haotian's back, opened her mouth, and finally did not speak. After a pause, he suddenly clenched his small fist, waved it vigorously, as if he had made a decision, turned around and walked to his desk, opened the computer file, and typed the words "resignation letter......
When Chen Haotian came to the street, a wave of heat hit his face, making people breathless.
On the road, the asphalt had been softened by the sun, the trees stood lazily on both sides of the road, the leaves curled, the flowers in the flower beds bowed their heads, and the grass bent down.
Everything seemed listless, just as he was in the mood.
Suddenly, he felt as if a fresh breeze was coming slowly, penetrating his heart and spleen, and the heat and boredom were swept away.
My heart moved, and I suddenly looked up and saw that across the road from the busy traffic, there was a Taoist priest smiling at him......
The Taoist priest is wearing a gossip robe, a hairpin on his head, a blue cloth bag, sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his demeanor is elegant, and his face exudes a clear light like water, which makes people feel extraordinary in temperament.
Well, this is normal, the Taoist priests who swagger and abduct are all dressed like this, but Chen Haotian inexplicably feels close to the Taoist priest, and he actually has a feeling of blood connection.
The Taoist priest beckoned to him on the other side of the road and motioned for him to come over, his eyes full of kindness......
Chen Haotian thought to himself: "This is too professional, with this face, just this equipment, I'm afraid ten or eight pieces can't be sent away." He felt that if he let the Taoist priest fool him, he might not be able to bear the salary he just received.
So, he made a decision, turned around and ran......
