Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 1 Preface
Zhang Yong has been in foreign companies for many years, and he has never used his English name, but insisted on his real name, "Yong".

In fact, his personality is not extreme, and he is not against English names. It’s just that Europeans usually pronounce “Ge” when pronounced “Ge”, so when used by foreigners, it becomes “Yongge”.

Enjoying the treatment of all the bosses, no matter the president or the HR, you must respectfully call him brother Yong. Zhang Yong enjoys it and is reluctant to give up his Chinese name.

Many years later, with the rise of the self-media, Zhang Yong gave himself the screen name of XX Yongge, and was ridiculed by countless people for being too earthy, Zhang Yong laughed it off.

……

In early spring in Marseille, France, this group of foreigners who kept calling Yong Ge was holding a new year's business start-up meeting.

Zhang Yong sat quietly behind his boss Francois. Francois is a very commonly used French name, roughly equivalent to Li Jun, Zhang Wei, Liu Li, and Wang Fang in China.However, most Chinese people don’t know the pronunciation of this name, and they like to translate it into Francis by intuition. In fact, the correct translation should be François, and the pronunciation of the last two syllables is actually infinitely close to the Chinese “Sewa”.

However, Zhang Yong's boss, the director of the Asia-Pacific region sitting in front of him, and the boss's boss, the CEO who is speaking on the stage, all have this name. Yong made full use of the wisdom of the Chinese people. He called his boss Xiao Se Wa and the CEO on stage Da Se Wa.

Da Sewa's thick French accent made Zhang Yong, who had not yet adapted to the jet lag, drowsy. There was no coffee at the meeting. In order to stay awake, he kept drinking water, and the mineral water in front of him soon bottomed out.

Still sleepy, he nodded to the ghosts on the left and right, then unceremoniously took the water in front of them to his own, opened it and continued to drink.

The devils on both sides frowned slightly, but did not object. At the same time, a question arose in their hearts, is China a country that is short of water?
Finally, Zhang Yong stopped thinking about dozing off, and another physiological need in his abdominal cavity successfully replaced the drowsiness.

This need was gradually increasing. When Zhang Yong realized that this feeling was more difficult to restrain than sleepiness, there were already four empty water bottles in front of him, and everything could not be reversed.

Da Sewa on the stage was talking happily, and the PPT charts on every page seemed to be dancing. Zhang Yong felt that the rising arrows seemed to describe the water level in his body.

He finally couldn't help it, and wanted to leave secretly to solve it, but found that Da Sewa's PPT had turned to the last page.

He decided to endure it a little longer. Anyway, the latter link is irrelevant, and there are not many opportunities to listen to the boss's speech. It is best not to be absent because of the flood.

But he didn't expect that Da Sewa put countless enthusiasm into the last page of PPT, and the report was like a torrential river, continuous, and Zhang Yong felt that his dam was about to fall.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he bent down as low-key as possible, and stood up quietly, trying to escape quietly by taking advantage of Xiao Sewa's burly back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he caught Da Sewa's attention, "Hey, brother Yong, can't you wait even a minute?"

Zhang Yong knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn't understand how Da Sewa could notice him at a glance among so many people. He endured the pain in his stomach and wanted to explain a few words, but found that Da Sewa was smiling , full of infinite love for his gaze.Faintly felt that Da Se Wa's call to stop him should have nothing to do with his desire to pee, there should be other reasons.

Sure enough, Da Sewa was full of joy, and continued: "Next, I will announce an appointment. It was originally planned to be announced at the dinner, but it seems that Brother Yong can't wait any longer. In the past year, our business in China has grown rapidly. Yongge’s achievements in China are obvious to all, and since Celina has returned to TS Group, I officially announce that Yongge has been appointed as our new China chief representative.”

There seemed to be scattered applause from the audience, and Zhang Yong was stunned. He had been looking forward to this ending for a long time, but it was the news he least wanted to hear now, and he urgently needed to end this session quickly.

Zhang Yong straightened his body upright, and immediately felt that his water level was being oppressed, and it was rising again, and at the same time, there was a tendency to rush down.

The applause began to be enthusiastic, and Xiao Sewa took the lead in applauding, so the atmosphere was driven, and the audience applauded thunderously.

The foreigner sitting next to Zhang Yong stretched out his hand to Zhang Yong regardless of the revenge he had just had for seizing the water, "Congratulations, brother Yong!"

"Brother Yong, do you want to say something?" Da Sewa's smile was full of kindness and anticipation.

Zhang Yong was silent for a second, and then under the double pressure in his stomach and heart, he said word by word:

"Mr. President, I am very grateful for your trust and the support of all colleagues at Mag. The past few years working at Mag have been one of the happiest times in my life. However, I am very sorry, but I am afraid that I cannot accept your appointment. accept."

The big and small children's smiles were all condensed on their faces, and the lively atmosphere in the audience was also frozen.
