Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 230 Insulting the Expert
Gou Wenhua frowned and thought about how to translate for a long time. The Japanese expert stretched his neck, waiting for the translation.Then Gou Wenhua babbled a lot, and the Japanese expert shook his head and talked for a long time.Gou Wenhua translated: "Experts ask why it can't be driven to the west?"

The manager of Party B explained: "In China, going to the West means going to the Paradise of Elysium, which means going to die!"

Gou Wenhua translated again. The Japanese experts were very dissatisfied and kept shaking their heads.

Mr. Zhu's face was a little ugly, and he asked me, "Do you know about this?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, I think ethnic customs should be respected, so I agree."

Mr. Zhu asked Mr. Dong for his opinion, and Mr. Dong replied: "There is such a saying among the people. We have encountered it before. Many truck drivers are unwilling to pull goods when they see the gate rushing to the west. It is understandable."

Mr. Zhu nodded. He thought it was over like this. Who knows that Gou Wenhua said a few more words: "Japanese experts said that there is no scientific basis for this. How can such feudal superstition be taken seriously? It's ridiculous. Hopefully it can be changed soon.”

The manager of Party B said bluntly: "Correct it? He paid for it? It's not that we are superstitious. There are many sayings among the people. This is a kind of inheritance, not superstition."

As soon as Gou Wenhua heard that the manager of Party B refuted the expert's words, he immediately said: "The expert is only raising professional opinions, whether you listen or not is your business. And what qualifications do you have to talk to the expert like that?"

The manager of Party B was not used to Gou Wenhua and said: "Why am I not qualified to talk to experts? I have been in the industry for 13 years and have built hundreds of buildings, large and small. Of course I have the right to speak. What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"

Gou Wenhua said to me angrily: "Can you control your people and talk so inappropriately?"

I was stunned and explained kindly: "Mr. Gou, he is the project manager of Party B, not mine. I have no right to interfere with his right to speak. He can say whatever he wants. After all, he knows more about architecture than you and I." .”

As soon as Gou Wenhua heard that I called him Mr. Gou, he felt very upset, and talked a lot with the experts. The experts immediately became very angry and said directly to Mr. Zhu.

Gou Wenhua translated: "Mr. Zhu, the experts said that this kind of thing is simply unreasonable. Everything must be based on science and technology. You can't just blindly believe in experience, let alone feudal superstition. He saw that many of our construction sites started to kill pigs and release them." Firecrackers are very puzzled, and now they come up with such a reason to refuse the transformation, it is simply nonsense. If this is the case, why call him here, he will not come to help our company again in the future. "

Mr. Zhu's face became even more ugly, and he reprimanded me: "He is not your person, so you can't control him, let him talk nonsense? Why didn't you think carefully about this matter, so you drove west and changed it immediately. , all rectified."

I lost my temper as soon as I heard it, and first said to Gou Wenhua: "This devil has only said a few words, and you just say a lot, is it his original words?" Gou Wenhua said angrily: "You... …you you……"

I continued: "He said that everything should be based on science. Ask him if he dares to sleep with his head facing north? I know that in Japan, no one dares to sleep with his head facing north. Why? Is there any scientific basis? Isn’t it because their dead are all placed with their heads facing north? Isn’t that the same reason? Ah! When you come to China, you talk about science? I really think we don’t know. How many years have we worshiped ghosts? Cannons won’t work? You can translate it for me now!”

Mr. Zhu said to me angrily: "Shut up!"

Mr. Dong knew that I was getting stronger, and he was not afraid of the sky and the earth. Seeing that I still wanted to say something, he immediately stopped me and said, "That's enough, just do what Mr. Zhu said, and rectify immediately. There is a deadline of one week. If you don't give If I change it, I will dismiss you!"

As soon as I heard this, I could bear it, and I was about to explode. Suddenly I saw Mr. Dong glaring at me, so I couldn't hold back my words.

Mr. Li, the provincial president of Party B, saw this situation and hurriedly made a siege: "We will change it immediately, it is a trivial matter, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Dong, don't worry, it is because we are not thinking about things well. If there is anything that needs to be improved, we will make it together.”

After the inspection team left, I was sulking in the project department. Most people didn’t dare to come in when they saw that I looked bad. Mr. Li and Mr. Zou from Party B came in, handed me a cigarette and said, “Mr. Chen, there’s no need, we just change it. Yes, it was originally a warehouse with a steel structure, so it’s easy to change.”

I smoked and didn't answer.Mr. Zou said: "Mr. Chen, thank you very much for speaking up for us. You are the only one who dares to speak up like that. In the past, we didn't know how much we were angry with Party A. You are a real person who does practical things."

I stopped him and said, "Stop it, you didn't hear me, I will be kicked down at any time, leave your flattery to the next leader."

Mr. Zou smiled awkwardly.

Mr. Li said: "No, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Dong are all sensible people, and you will not be dismissed because of this trivial matter. You are too straightforward. Didn't you see that Mr. Gou and the Japanese devils were so angry that they jumped up. gone."

I laughed all of a sudden: "Really? I didn't pay attention. When I called us back to my hometown, I left in a despondent way, and now I come here arrogantly. Why? Just because I'm short, We have to care for the weak and the weak?"

Both Mr. Li and Mr. Zou laughed, Mr. Li said: "You have risen to the level of national hatred and family hatred. What a big deal. He also has something to say. Are you an expert? They are all like this, only recognize technology!"

As soon as he left the construction site, President Dong called and said in a blunt tone, "Come over to my office!"

I didn't answer, so I hung up the phone.

When we arrived at Dong Zong's office, Xiao Li pointed at me and whispered, "You are finished, Dong Zong is angry, and the consequences will be serious!"

I didn't even knock on the door, so I pushed it open and went in, thinking to myself, if the master doesn't fight the west, and I have done nothing wrong, if Mr. Dong is unreasonable, I will not be unreasonable either.

Mr. Dong saw me coming in and didn't say a word, so he let me stand there. I didn't show any politeness, so I just pulled a chair and sat down.

Dong Zong looked at me and said, "You are welcome, did I ask you to sit down?"

I hesitated whether it was too impolite, whether I should stand up, but if I wanted to stand up now, wouldn't I lose in terms of momentum?Hesitating, his ass is between sitting and not sitting, looking a little embarrassed.

Mr. Dong was amused by my appearance, and said, "Sit down, why are you being cowardly now?"

I said stiffly: "Where am I cowardly? I respect you, not be afraid of you."

Dong Zong pulled his face down again and said: "What's the matter with you today, it's all like that, why are you still talking back? It's not a big deal, but you messed it up. Now Mr. Zhu's impression of you suddenly Much worse."

I explained: "It's so irritating. After working hard for several months, I finally let a devil's words be denied. I can bear it, and Mr. Zhu is too. Can the devil's words be believed? Then He is an enemy who wants to destroy our country, can you believe his words?"

Dong Zong said angrily: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is. He is an expert, and he is right. He was invited back by Mr. Zhu with a lot of money. You said that you made the expert unable to come down on the spot. Isn't this a slap in the face of Mr. Zhu? Can you always be happy? It would be nice if you didn’t dismiss you on the spot. How many times have I told you to be calm when things happen, why are you still so impulsive? Last time you beat someone, I haven’t settled with you yet? This time I made this again, how do you want me to say hello?"

I thought about it, once I got this temper, I couldn't hold it back. I have suffered a lot, and I have to change it.

He replied: "Mr. Dong, I also know that I am a little impulsive. In fact, I am not directed at Mr. Zhu, but at your dog assistant, the whole traitor. Don't blame me for speaking harshly, I just don't like him." After finishing speaking, I regretted it again, why did Lao Tu enjoy his mouth.

I sneaked a look at Mr. Dong, and Mr. Dong showed signs of having an attack, so I immediately stood up and said, "Well, Mr. Dong, please do your work first. I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first!"

Dong Zong said loudly: "Sit down for me, and you want to sneak out after talking about it. How can it be so easy? What's wrong with Gou Wenhua? He graduated from a prestigious school, works diligently, knows two foreign languages, and his writing style is not bad. You are handsome and talented, what is worse than you? You don’t like people! What qualifications do you have? Ah, just because he didn’t sign for you, you can’t get the money a few days later? Are you so vengeful?”

I curled my lips and said, "I'm not that stingy. He's good. You can just use him. I'll leave! Anyway, he's familiar with the experts, so let him do it."

Dong Zong said angrily: "You will lead our army, right? If he can do it, what's the matter with you? As soon as you came up, you took the position of others. They didn't say anything about you, but you talked about others. Is it? It's a small belly."

I am speechless.But I thought my first impression must be right, so I said: "I'm very accurate in judging people. If you have a sharp face, you will be rebellious in your life. Gou Wenhua has a rebellious face. There is a reason why I called him a traitor. If you don’t believe me, President Dong, just wait and see.”

Dong Zong went on to say: "I know who he is better than you. Why didn't I find you so mean before? Talking bad things about people behind their backs, a set of tricks, why are you such a gossip?"

I broke the jar and said: "Why? Anyway, it's like this. I am a person who doesn't like anyone at first sight, and it's hard to like him later. I'm telling the truth, even if he is here today, I dare to say that .”

Dong Zong nodded and said: "I believe this, you really dare to say it, but you can understand it at your age, if you are not angry, you are not a young man."

I was puzzled, I was talking about me last moment, but now I understand me again.He said: "Well, you also said, Mr. Dong, young people are inevitably impulsive, and I am also impulsive." After finishing speaking, she smirked at her.
