Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 54

Strangely, Brother Zeng neither beat nor scolded the gangsters, but just looked at Xiao Hong, his eyes were like knives.Then suddenly he picked up a glass ashtray and smashed it at Xiao Hong, hitting Xiao Hong's eyebrows, and a bloodstain ran down the eyebrows.Xiao Hong was motionless, blood dripped into his eyes, and his eyes were still wide open.Just as I was about to say something, I felt Xiao Hong was wronged too.

Brother Zeng spoke: "Do you know why I didn't beat you?"

Xiao Hong nodded and said, "I know, it's my incompetence!"

Brother Zeng pointed at Xiao Hong and scolded: "You still know that you are ineffective, did I say that if something goes wrong in the karaoke hall, no matter who is at fault, I will look for you, such a big dance hall is not good for you, what can I do? I expect you to do other things? Let them know what will be the consequences of making trouble in my karaoke hall. Who will dare to do so in the future? It’s not like you don’t know who is here today. I even told you specifically, and now I’m hurting people. , do you still want my old face?"

The more brother Zeng talked, the more angry he became. He picked up another ashtray and smashed it, hitting Xiao Hong's chin, which began to bleed. I couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Brother Zeng, the tax worker is fine. Well, I can't blame Xiao Hong for this, I'll let it go!"

Brother Zeng shook his head and said, "I can't, forget it today, it will happen tomorrow." Then he said to Xiao Hong, "I don't care what I do with it, but if you let me know in the future, if something goes wrong in the karaoke hall, get out of here. .”

Xiao Hong, who had never spoken, just replied, "I know Brother Zeng."

When Brother Zeng and I left the private room, there were already mourning sounds from inside. I didn't have to think about it to know that Xiao Hong's anger just now was all vented on these gangsters.

When I went to the hospital, the tax worker had two stitches on his head. Qi Qian was wiping her tears while looking at the tax worker's wound.I comforted Qi Qian a few words, then took the car sent by Brother Zeng and went back to the factory.

When I entered the room, the tax collector came in and said a few words, and I nodded.The tax collector asked me, "Is there any wine here?" I said, "Yes, but you just took anti-inflammatory drugs, can you drink?" The tax collector didn't answer.

After we had a beer, the tax collector said, "Don't you think I'm unkind? Do you know why I treated you like that before?"

I shook my head, and the tax collector said, "I envy you, and I also envy you, you are so good at being a man, and everyone likes you so much, but I have been careful since I joined the company. It's just disrespect and bullying. It's very unfair to me, but I can endure these, the only thing I can't bear is sympathy, and although you said justice for me at that time, it was all sympathy for me. Sometimes compassion is more hateful than bullying."

I actually wanted to explain to him that I didn't sympathize with him, I just couldn't bear to see unfair things, but I was too lazy to explain, and felt that there was no need to explain. Since he said it all, it means that he no longer has this knot in his heart.

I interrupted the tax worker and said: "You know 100 yuan, I rolled it up, tore it in half, threw it into the trash can, then picked it up, cleaned it up, and pasted it, can it be used? , why? Because 100 yuan is 100 yuan, no matter how you trample it, it still has its value, no one can deny it, the only thing that can make it lose its value is itself, because it depreciates."

The tax worker thought about what I said, and then I said: "It's your own heart, you may say that you came from a small village in Jiangxi, and through your own efforts, you were admitted to a famous university and entered with excellent grades. Go to a big company, and then work silently to prove my ability, but it's still not as good as if I didn't graduate from a famous university. I just entered the company through relationships. I’ve thought that doing good interpersonal relationships is also a part of ability, and sometimes being straight-forward is often more affirmed by people than swallowing it up.”

The tax worker's face was almost distorted and defended: "Isn't it? I have a higher starting point than you, a better attitude than you, and a desire to be recognized more than you, and what did I get? What I got was just cynicism, and a share of what I got. Your sympathy gives you a chance."

The tax worker didn't give me a chance to refute and continued: "I can accept all of these, and I also know that you are not a scheming person, but today Qi Qian saw your ability to do things here. I said, how are you? What can I do? I'm a man!"

I said innocently, "What does this have to do with me?"

The tax worker lowered his head and said, "It's ridiculous. As soon as you entered the company, I took you as my competition target, but you went further and further away, and what about me? I can only follow in your footsteps. My only pride, my wife also thinks you are better than me, tell me what to do?"

I suddenly felt that the tax worker was very funny and pitiful, but he was not worthy of sympathy. I looked at the tax worker and said, "What should I do? Some wife doesn't praise other people's husbands to motivate her husband. This is normal. You always think that you are the most unfortunate person in the world, but you don't think about why? Is it someone else's reason? Why don't you look for the reason in yourself. In my opinion, you are a professional technology who is dedicated to your duties and strict with yourself Personnel, your professional knowledge is better than mine, and your business ability is higher than mine. You also have a high IQ, but your EQ is zero. You will never get along with your colleagues, superiors, or your wife. Two people get along best. The way is not to give her the best, but to give her the most comfortable and most suitable."

If the tax worker was struck by lightning, he grabbed his hair with his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he made up his mind and said, "It's exactly as you said, that's what happened between me and Qi Qian, I gave her the best, and I gave her the best. , all I can give, we were married for four years, my salary was not high at that time, her salary in the sales office was double my salary, we didn’t have a house or a car, she loved face, and didn’t let me pick up and drop off every day, and colleagues didn’t get together. Let me go, I hide for fear of embarrassing her.

She often loses her temper, and because of the pressure of work, she is often embarrassed by clients, which I can understand.I wash clothes, cook, and even wash her underwear, underwear, and panties by hand, and serve me carefully, but in exchange for her endless betrayal.

Once I found a hotel room card in the pocket of her clothes, and when I asked her, she said it was a temporary resting place when the company held an event, I believe.

I often drink drunk and smoke, and come back at [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, saying it is a social event, I believe.
