Chapter 6
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
"Oh!"
Tian Ning walked quickly, and when Xia Xia trotted into the office, he was already sitting behind the desk with his feet crossed: "You buy the gifts according to this list, and send them to me one by one. This is your main task this week. Mission. Come next week for Christmas and New Year's Day!"
Xia Xia took the list and looked at it. There was a long list of names, and the word "Ms." was remarked next to each name. The column on the right was a variety of fashion items with different styles.
"You have so many girlfriends!" Xia Xia was speechless.
"You know what a fart! These are all related households, and have nothing to do with me!"
"Then why are they all women?"
Tian Ning glanced at her contemptuously: "Of course the gifts must be given to the wives or girlfriends of the relatives! Without them blowing my pillow, how would I do business?"
Xia Xia deliberately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's still your thoughtfulness!"
She turned around to leave, but Tian Ning stopped her again and told her, "Don't forget to match the gift with a bouquet of flowers. The florist will use the one I gave you my business card before."
It took Xia Xia three days to get all the ladies on the list in place.When I went to the flower shop to pay the bill on the last day, the beautiful and gentle proprietress gave her a bouquet of pink carnations as a thank you, and she took it back to the company lovingly.
"Mr. Tian, the presents are all gone! This bouquet of carnations is from the flower shop. Where do you put them?"
Tian Ning was busy with his work, so he didn't even glance at it. He raised his hand and impatiently dusted it in the air: "Let's put it anywhere."
Xia Xia looked around, but there was no container for the bouquet. She felt sorry for the fragrance, and ran to ask an aunt in the administration department for a glass vase, filled the water and put it on the tea table in Tian Ning's office.
The white coffee table is matched with pink flowers, delicate and fresh, Xia Xia looked left and right, and couldn't bear to look away: "Mr. Tian, can I have two?"
Only then did Tian Ning look up, indifferent to the beautiful bouquet: "If you like it, take it away."
Xia Xia was delighted: "Really? Then I'll take the bottle away with you! Don't be reluctant!"
"Where did you come up with so much nonsense!"
Xia Xia hugged the vase, stuck out her tongue and slipped out.
As soon as the vase was placed on the desk, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Colleagues who passed in front of her all stopped to strike up a conversation.
"Hey, Xia Xia, who sent the flowers?"
"It's not a gift, it was moved from Mr. Tian's house."
"Wow! So it was sent by Mr. Tian!"
"No..." Before she could finish explaining, she hurried away.
Half an hour later, Wang Jing ghostly came to her for tea, and the two chatted secretly in the tea room.
"How has Boss Tian treated you recently?" Wang Jing's tone was treacherous.
"That's it!"
"It is generally reported that the number of times he scolds you has decreased recently, and the number of times he praised you has increased!"
Xia Xia laughed dryly: "Thank you for me, everyone."
"I think so," Wang Jing stirred the hot honey tea with a spoon, "Our Mr. Tian has the kind of temper that takes hard but not soft, and he probably...is interested in you."
"Interesting?" Xia Xia looked up to the sky and smiled, "Haha, hahaha! You are the only one interesting!"
"Don't believe it!" Wang Jing was slightly annoyed at her attitude, "Xiao Qi was only kept after she had a fight with him, look at how well she is doing now, and has been rated as the best salesman for two consecutive quarters. Already!"
"Didn't you say that Xiao Qi sacrificed that to keep it?" Xia Xia touched each other with her two thumbs.
"That's everyone's guess." Wang Jing said with a smile, "From you, I understand that breaking into the boss's office is not necessarily just to make ends meet, it may also be to get mad!"
As soon as Xia Xia returned to her seat, she moved the vase of flowers back to Tian Ning's office intact.
Tian Ning stared at her dissatisfied, "What are you fussing about?"
"This flower is too eye-catching, it's better to put it here."
"I'm sick!" Tian Ning muttered, and waved to Xia Xia again, "Come here."
When Xia Xia came to the side, Tian Ning pointed to the masterpiece of his hard work on the computer screen, and asked proudly, "What do you think of this icon?"
Xia Xia looked at it horizontally and vertically, and found it difficult to comment.
"Are you dumb?"
"You want me to be honest or..."
"When did I ever appreciate your compliments! Tell the truth."
"I think," Xia Xia lowered her voice cautiously, "it looks like shit..."
"Guo Xiaxia!" Tian Ning gritted his teeth.
Xia Xia shivered in fright, and hurriedly apologized: "The boss calms down, I haven't finished talking yet! It will be much better if you straighten the lines."
Tian Ning stared at her for a full ten seconds before turning his gaze back to the screen, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Fuck! You really look so fucking good when you say that!"
He turned his eyes and looked at Xia Xia again: "You used to talk to Ye Yinfeng with such a sharp tongue in Maixin?"
"No!"
Tian Ning gave a strange laugh: "Then why do newcomers get angry when they run around?"
"Because Mr. Ye has never treated me with a green face and fangs like you!"
"Get out! Talk and talk, and the dog can't spit out ivory!"
Xia Xia gradually figured out the way to get along with Tian Ning. The more unpleasant the words were, the more he could listen to them.This saves her a lot of time trying to figure out what her boss is thinking, and she is happy to go straight to the point.
Xiaochun also asked her about her impression of her current boss. She thought about it for a long time and said, "He... has a bit of a masochist tendency..."
After the New Year's Day, the company's tense settlement atmosphere eased, but Xia Xia knew that Tian Ning was still running for a client named "Wenda". He heard that the company was about to open bids, and Qunxin was there. The foundation is relatively weak, but Tian Ning is unwilling to give up and wants to make a final effort.
Hard work pays off. Two days before the bid opening, Wenda finally agreed to let Qunxin go to the company to give a systematic product introduction to relevant personnel. He rushed to Wenda.
Xia Xia always thought that Maixin's project for Wenda was sure to win, but she didn't know what method Tian Ning used to let him pry open a gap.But to be honest, she was really not sure whether she wanted Maixin to win the order or Qunxin to win the order.
With Tian Ning not around, she naturally had clean ears and relaxed body.But not long after the good times, Tian Ning's call came.
"Xia Xia, help me send me a document in the office marked 'Supplementary Terms of Wenda Plan', hurry up!"
Before Xia Xia had time to ask for details, Tian Ning pinched the phone, and when she called again, the other party turned off the phone.
Tian Ning was somewhat wary of her, so she was not allowed to handle any information related to the client. Today, it was probably because the situation was urgent and she couldn't find anyone to help her. Even Wang Jing was dragged to coordinate the scene. .
Xia Xia rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Tian Ning's office, and finally found the document that Tian Ning mentioned in the stack of drafts on the cabinet. In order not to make mistakes, she even went through the stack of papers from beginning to end. Convinced that only this one match, put it in the folder and hurried to Wenda.
When she arrived at Wenda, Xia Xia explained her purpose, and the guard sent a security guard to go in with her to find someone.
The doors on both sides of the Wenda meeting room were closed, but there were still conversations leaking through the cracks in the door. The security guard pushed the door open for Xia Xia. She hurriedly looked around, and a manager from the group's new technology department introduced product parameters on the stage. , Tian Ning was sitting in the middle of the seat, communicating with a person in charge of Wenda in a low voice.Seeing her, he hurriedly greeted her and left his seat.
Xia Xia felt that his face was not very good-looking. After she handed over the document and Tian Ning glanced at it hastily, his facial expression became even stiffer.
"How did you take this?" He asked dissatisfied.
Xia Xia was surprised: "Isn't this one? But your office only has this supplementary clause!"
"How is it possible!" Tian Ning realized that her voice was too loud and quickly shut up. She squeezed Xia Xia's arm and dragged her to a secluded place in the corridor away from the conference room. Looking for it on the table?"
"Looked for it! No."
"What about my drawer?"
"You're locked!"
Tian Ning cursed and shook the document in his hand angrily: "This thing is not right at all. What I want you to bring me is the final draft. If you have no idea, why don't you call me?"
Xia Xia felt aggrieved: "Your phone is turned off!"
"I'm talking to a client, can you answer the phone without moving!" Tian Ning said in a sharp tone, "If I can't find it, I won't go to Wang Jing? Or Lei Mingyang? You can do things without using your brain?"
Xia Xia couldn't argue, so she simply stopped talking.
Tian Ning stuffed the document into her arms, turned away angrily.
"President Tian, can I go back?"
"If you don't go back, wait for someone to invite you to dinner!"
Xia Xia rolled his eyes at him, and stuffed the documents back into his bag listlessly. This trip was a waste of time.
After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly felt a familiar figure standing in front of a certain door, looking around, the other person was staring at her intently.
Recognizing that it was Ye Yinfeng, Xia Xia's heart skipped a beat. He must have seen all the embarrassment of being scolded just now, and his face suddenly turned red and white alternately.
She didn't feel it when she was being scolded by Tian Ning, but at this moment under Ye Yinfeng's sympathetic gaze, Xia Xia felt the desperation now, she lowered her head, and walked past him without saying a word.
Ye Yinfeng didn't stop her. Behind him, the head of Wenda who was in charge of this project was walking towards him enthusiastically.
For two days after returning from Wenda, Tian Ning's face was as cold and hard as iron, and he didn't even apologize for giving Xia Xia a hard time.
Wang Jing comforted Xia Xia in private: "It's really not your fault. Mr. Tian thought the terms in that document were too disadvantageous, so he deleted it. When we went to Wenda to talk, the other party had some requirements. In order to show sincerity, Mr. Tian asked you to send over the terms. But then again, even if we had this item, we couldn’t win Wenda’s order. It was decided in advance, but Wenda’s headquarters demanded that suppliers must be treated equally. Pull us over there as a foil. Mr. Tian will understand what's going on as soon as he sees Maixin's people in Wenda. If he's in a bad mood, he'll take his anger out on whoever catches him. Don't take it too seriously. "
"I'm fine." Xia Xia curled her lips, "It's not the first day I know his virtue."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "I found you to be quite open-minded. Your ex was scolded and cried by him!"
Qunxin really didn't win the text. When the news came, Tian Ning was discussing the topic of marketing strategy with several key members. Because it didn't involve commercial secrets, Xia Xia was allowed to listen in.
After answering the sales call from the bid opening site, Tian Ning glanced down calmly: "We lost the bid for Wenda."
Everyone had expected it, but such news would inevitably affect morale, and the office was silent for a while, as if in silent mourning.
In such a solemn atmosphere, Xia Xia's cell phone rang untimely, and the ringtone was cheerful. She was so flustered that she pressed the answer button without even seeing the display clearly.
"Xia Xia, it's me... Ye Yinfeng."
Xia Xia froze, out of breath from nervousness: "You, what's the matter with you?"
"Guo Xiaxia, who's call is so important that you have to answer it right now?" Tian Ning stared at her gloomily, with a tone of finding fault.
"I, I'm in a meeting! Let's talk about it later." Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xia Xia hurriedly cut the thread, then raised her head, and continued to grieve with everyone.
Tian Ning glared at her, his face softened slightly.
Xia Xia was calm on the surface, but she was busy in her heart. She didn't know why Ye Yinfeng called her. Besides, why did she call herself at the very moment when she won the project?
Thinking back to hearing his familiar gentle voice just now, Xia Xia's nose couldn't stop turning sore, she was a little annoyed at herself, why did she still react so strongly every time she saw him or heard his voice, what she had to do, wasn't it as soon as possible Drive him out of your heart?
Ye Yinfeng stopped in front of the office window.
It was the first time he felt empty after winning an order, as if he had won a game beautifully, but no one cheered.
There was a misty mist outside the window, and the sun didn't come out for a long time.He thought, he must be bewitched by the gloomy weather to dial Xiaxia's number.
He was looking for her for nothing, nothing else, just wanted to say hello.
He thought repeatedly, if Xia Xia had a good life after leaving, would he not be as upset as he is now?
But in fact, she was not doing well.
That day in Wenda, he saw Tian Ning's ferocity and Xia Xia's grievance, including her tight voice when she answered the phone just now and Tian Ning's sarcasm.
He lowered his head and shook his head slightly, as if trying to shake off the remaining guilt, although he knew it would not be easy.
He hoped that he could do something for Xia Xia.But until sunset, Xia Xia didn't call.
It was clear that she no longer needed him in her life.
According to the usual practice, every time a single leaf Yinfeng is signed, the members of the project team will be invited to a meal to celebrate.After five o'clock, Cui Youxin brought a few beaming young people over to claim credit.
"Mr. Ye, everyone has been waiting for this meal for a long time!"
Ye Yinfeng smiled and expressed his thanks to them, but tonight he was not in the mood to revel with the staff: "Old Cui, I have some personal affairs to be busy today. How about this, you take everyone to have a good meal first, and I will do it tomorrow How about letting everyone relax a bit?"
The young people cheered in unison without waiting for Cui Youxin to make a statement.
As soon as everyone left, Ye Yinfeng didn't want to stay in the office anymore, so he called Wenxuan and learned that she was still in the shop, and Xiaodong was also there.
"Then I'll go pick you up now."
Wenxuan's home decoration business has gradually improved. Residents nearby have heard that there is a beautiful boss here, and they come to watch it curiously.
Every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, Wenxuan asks a newly hired worker to help watch the store, and then goes to a nearby kindergarten to pick up Xiaodong, and then the mother and daughter stay in the store until 06:30 before closing and going home.Sometimes Ye Yinfeng would come to pick them up when he got off work early.
Ye Yinfeng drove to the side of the road opposite the shop, Wenxuan was already waiting at the door holding Xiaodong's hand.
It was raining in the sky.Instead of getting out of the car to pick them up as usual, he lowered the window and waved to the opposite side.When Wen Xuan saw her, she immediately pulled down the shutter door, opened her umbrella, and came across the road with Xiaodong in her arms.
Xiaodong was still the same as before, he didn't cry out when he saw Ye Yinfeng, but just stared at him, and he didn't care.
Wenxuan put away her umbrella, and got into the car with Xiaodong one after another.
"It's early today." Her tone was cheerful.
"It doesn't affect your business, does it?"
Wen Xuan smiled: "I'm not like you. If you close an hour earlier, you will lose one hundred and eighty thousand—Wen Da's list?"
"how do you know?"
"You can tell by the look on your face."
"Hehe, you really know how to read words and expressions."
Ye Yinfeng turned right and merged into a road with relatively less traffic.He would rather take a long detour than frequently eat red lights.
The road conditions suddenly improved a lot.
Ye Yinfeng said: "Tomorrow I will have a dinner with Lao Cui and the others to celebrate winning the order, why don't you come together, after all, you are also the boss of Maixin."
Wenxuan looked embarrassed, and said after a while: "I'm not going, I don't understand what you're saying, it's so uncomfortable to sit there. Besides, I have to take care of Xiaodong!"
That's what Ye Yinfeng said, and he didn't mean to force it. He had already discovered that Wen Xuan didn't like to show her face.
"It's up to you. Then wait until this weekend, and I will invite you alone, and Xiaodong. Congratulations on your second order after coming to Maixin."
"Thank you!" Wen Xuan pursed her lips and smiled.
She turned her head and looked out of the window. The tall buildings in the drizzle were connected together, and there were countless grids inside, hiding many people's dreams of home.
Compared with the vast world, people's needs are so small, but they are satisfied with a place to live.
Xiaodong quietly leaned against her, holding the baby bear in his arms, with his eyes half-closed, as if about to take a nap.The heater was turned on in the car, but Wen Xuan was still worried that she would catch a cold, so she took off her coat and put it on for her.
When they got home, Xiao Dong really fell asleep, Ye Yinfeng carried her upstairs again, and only he and Wen Xuan ate dinner.
"Will going to bed hungry affect your health?" Ye Yinfeng didn't understand children's routines at all.
"It's okay, I gave her some snacks when she was in the shop. She has been in a slump for the past two days, and she is probably going to catch a cold again. This child has been in poor health since she was a child." Wen Xuan sighed.
During dinner, Ye Yinfeng told her the details of the Wenda project. When he mentioned Qunxin, he pondered for a while and said, "Xiaxia is now in Qunxin."
Wen Xuan glanced at him unexpectedly, they hadn't mentioned Xia Xia for a long time.
Ye Yinfeng explained to himself: "Qunxin is also fighting for Wenda's order. I met her at Wenda two days ago."
"Is she all right?"
Ye Yinfeng smiled wryly: "Who knows!"
Wen Xuan scooped up a bowl of soup and put it in front of him, her tone became much calmer: "Actually, it's a good thing that she left you. You used to... take care of her too much."
Her bright eyes stared at him with insight: "If I were her, I would also misunderstand that you took care of yourself like that because you like it."
"You mean... I did something wrong?"
Wen Xuan didn't make a statement, but said slowly: "Of course you are free to treat others how you want, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the relationship between the boss and the staff should not be mixed with other elements, such as friendship, even if you really appreciate it. She. Besides, Xia Xia is a little girl who has just graduated. She hasn't experienced anything, maybe she hasn't even talked about a complete relationship. Suddenly, a handsome man greeted her with care, and of course she fell into it easily. .”
Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt very bored, put down his chopsticks, and leaned back in the chair.
Seeing his eyebrows tightened again, Wen Xuan's long-held displeasure deepened, and she was determined to break through the window paper that she dared not touch before.
"Yinfeng, we've been together for half a month, do you feel happy?"
"Of course." Ye Yinfeng was absent-minded.
"But I don't think so." Wen Xuan stared at him, "Maybe there is a question you should think about."
"...What?" Ye Yinfeng's eyes were slightly confused.
"Are you feeling guilty towards Xia Xia... or something else?"
Ye Yinfeng raised his eyes in shock.
Wen Xuan finished ordering, got up to pack the dishes and went into the kitchen, leaving Ye Yinfeng alone in front of the dining table.
She didn't turn on the hot water when she washed the dishes, and she didn't feel cold at all.With her hands lathered with dish soap, she mechanically moved the cleaned bowls from one side of the sink to the other.
If she loses again this time, then it's just another addition to her failed life.She comforted herself indifferently.
There were rustling footsteps piercing her ears, her whole body tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy, but she didn't turn around.
"I've thought about your question just now." Ye Yinfeng said softly, walked over and hugged her from behind, "I really only have guilt towards Xia Xia."
Wen Xuan closed her eyes tightly, silently breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her body completely relaxed.
"I'm sorry." Ye Yinfeng apologized in a murmur.
Wen Xuan wiped her hands, turned around and hugged him, wrapping her cold hands around his waist, the chill in her palms passed through the sweater and shirt, Ye Yinfeng hugged her even tighter unconsciously.
At ten o'clock, Wen Xuan urged Ye Yinfeng to go home and brought him another bag of walnut kernels.
"I heard your mother mention that she likes it at dinner that day. I bought it when I saw it in the supermarket in the morning. You can take it home. Don't say I bought it."
Ye Yinfeng took it over and looked at Wenxuan: "Come to my house for dinner sometime... It's time for my parents to know."
Wen Xuan just smiled: "Don't worry." Her gaze was meaningful.
Early on Monday morning, as soon as Xia Xia turned on the computer button, Tian Ning appeared in the field of vision full of energy.
"Morning Tian!"
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
Xia Xia had no choice but to leave the computer and get up, suspicious in her heart, wondering what made Tian Ning so excited.
After entering the office, Tian Ning ordered again: "Close the door!"
Xia Xia shivered like a conditioned reflex: "Why?"
"Tell you to shut it down and shut it down! I have something to ask you."
After closing the door, Xia Xia nervously sat down opposite Tian Ning.
"Tell me, why did you leave Maixin?"
Xia Xia's mind suddenly froze: "Why do you ask this?"
"Don't tell me what nonsense career planning is! You jumped to Qunxin from Maixin, it's like walking on flat ground, there is no slope - I want to be honest!"
Xia Xia bit her lip and said reluctantly, "Maixin is not suitable for me."
"Why not?"
"If it's not suitable, it's not suitable." Xia Xia also felt stubborn.
Tian Ning leaned heavily on the back of the chair, the clear look on his face made Xia Xia feel uneasy.
"Guess who I met for dinner at Yushuiyao last night?"
Xia Xia was silent, and was on guard vigilantly.
"I met Ye Yinfeng!" Tian Ning's eyes sparkled, "He is with a woman, oh, and there is a baby."
Xia Xia's complexion turned pale slightly, and the ominous feeling became stronger.
"That woman is very beautiful. I heard that she is the honorary director of Maixin. Her surname is Qiu." Tian Ning smiled, "Ye Yinfeng is quite generous. When he introduced me, he just said that she was his girlfriend. Damn! No Thinking that this competitive guy will end up choosing a woman who drags a small oil bottle!"
Xia Xia couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up abruptly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Tian Ning yelled, "I didn't let you go, I haven't finished talking yet!"
Xia Xia reluctantly sat back.
"At first, I thought you did something stupid to leave Maixin. I heard people say that you left the company for two days, and Ye Yin was very angry. But after seeing him with the woman surnamed Qiu last night, I Got it all."
He stared at Xia Xia happily: "You left Maixin because you were broken in love, am I right?"
Xia Xia blushed before he finished speaking, and said angrily, "Stop pretending to be smart! When did I say that I like Ye Yinfeng! Why did I leave Maixin? What does it have to do with you! If you think I If you don’t do well in Qunxin, you can fire me! But you have no right to laugh at me!”
She stood up with her fists clenched, and rushed towards the door like a little flaming fireball.
"Guo Xiaxia!" Tian Ning called from behind her, "Even if I guessed it, you don't have to react so much! People like Ye Yinfeng will always eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. You should leave him You should feel lucky!"
Xia Xia turned back and growled at him before opening the door: "No matter how bad he is, he is a hundred times better than you!"
"Hey!" Tian Ning pointed at the re-closed door, and said angrily, "It's really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart!"
Xia Xia dodged into the bathroom with her head bowed. The sudden blow made her feel ashamed and angry. She locked herself in the cubicle and couldn't bear it anymore. Can't stand it.
The frustration of the past few days burst across the board on this black Monday morning, and she cried so hard that she was out of breath.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia! Are you in there?" Someone was eagerly knocking on the door of the cubicle, and the voice sounded like Wang Jing.
Xia Xia ignored her, but her crying became weaker.
"Xia Xia, Mr. Tian is looking for you everywhere!" The knock on the door became more and more urgent, "No matter what happens, come out first and then talk about it!"
Xia Xia opened the door, Wang Jing stared in astonishment as soon as she saw her swollen peach-shaped eyes: "...was scolded by Mr. Tian?"
"Why is he looking for me?" Xia Xia's voice was hoarse from crying, and her voice was rustling.
"I didn't say anything, just let me come to you - wash your face well. Do you want skin cream, I have it there!"
"Thank you."
"You're being polite to me! You wait, I'll get it!" Wang Jing ran out the door courteously.
Xia Xia cleaned her tear-stained face by the sink.After crying for a while, I feel much more relaxed, and I have no time to care about what others will think of me, thinking bitterly, it seems that the job-hopping has reached the point of urgency and imperative.
It was easy to clean up. Wang Jing came out of the bathroom with her. Xia Xia felt something was wrong. There seemed to be several times more people around than before. Everyone looked very busy, but everyone had time to look over. Admire her blistered eyes with relish.
Xia Xia could only keep her eyes fixed, and silently said in her heart, "I don't exist, I don't exist..."
Wang Jing was not in the same office area as her, so she turned the corner and left first.Xia Xia returned to her seat, and the computer was still waiting for her to enter her username and password.
As soon as Tian Ning saw her coming back, he immediately jumped out of the office, looked down at her, and exaggeratedly widened his eyes: "Are you really crying?"
Xia Xia typed murderously, with a chilly tone: "What's the matter?"
Tian Ning shrank her neck in fear, and carefully placed the two pieces of paper in front of her case: "Please make a copy."
It was the first time he used the word "trouble" to Xia Xia. Previously, Xia Xia thought that he didn't understand civility and manners at all!
"Leave it alone, I'll send it to you when I'm done." Xia Xia didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Oh, thank you!"
Tian Ning raised his feet and walked back, turning his eyes frequently to check Xia Xia's expression, and accidentally bumped into the wall, and immediately uncontrollable laughter came from the nearby cubicle.
During the lunch break, Xia Xia found a secluded place in the company with her mobile phone and called Xiaochun. After describing the humiliation she had suffered this time in a few words, she urgently asked for help: "Xiaochun, you have to help me this time anyway. , I don’t want to stay in this damn place for a moment!”
"But you found the job with great difficulty, and it's not like you don't know the difficulty of finding a job for newcomers like us." Xiaochun seemed helpless.
"I can't control it, as long as I can leave Qunxin, I'm happy to do anything!"
"Do you want to carry big bags? That doesn't require work experience."
"Lin Xiaochun!"
"Okay, okay, stop joking!" Xiaochun quickly became serious, "Well, let me ask you, anyway, as long as I know you, regardless of seven aunts and eight aunts, go and disturb them again, I still don't believe it. , Digging the ground three feet and still can't find a small broken rice bowl!"
Xia Xia burst into tears of gratitude: "Xiaochun, you are the best!"
If you want to say that a best friend is a best friend, she is absolutely reliable in doing things.Within two days, Xiaochun brought her good news—a metal product processing company wanted to hire an assistant in the financial department, the conditions were very generous, and the salary and benefits were not satisfactory.
"But the location of the company is very remote," Xiaochun said clearly, "there is no shuttle bus, and you have to reverse the car to go to work every day, can you bear it?"
Compared with dignity, this hard work is nothing.Xia Xia didn't think much at all: "No problem! When will you go to work?"
"I don't know about this, I have to interview first! Are you free tomorrow morning? I'll ask Jiang Youtian to pick you up at your home. He happens to be on vacation tomorrow."
"If you're free, you're free! Why don't you just ask for a vacation!" Xia Xia was so anxious, she was really afraid that the duck she got would fly away, "Xiaochun, how likely is this to succeed?"
"Well, I heard from Jiang Youtian that they have interviewed a few times, but they haven't finalized it yet, so they are probably not very satisfied. I advise you not to think too much, and go over there tomorrow to get in touch with the interview. Based on your eyesight, if people are satisfied with you, your small shortcomings can be ignored."
Xia Xia suddenly came back to her senses: "Who is Jiang Youtian? Is it your elementary school classmate?"
Xiaochun was a little awkward when asked: "Yes! What's the matter?"
"Lin Xiaochun, so you're in a relationship!" Xia Xia screamed, "You're so mean, you even kept it from me!"
"That's not the case!" Xiaochun hurriedly clarified, "It's just an ordinary friend. I asked him casually if he had a job opportunity, and he found one after searching around. Don't think wrong!"
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Xia saw Jiang Youtian, who Xiaochun had been thinking about, in the downstairs of her house. Unexpectedly, he was a handsome white-faced scholar. Xia Xia always thought that a tough girl like Xiaochun liked the green forest hero type. It seems I don't know my girlfriend too well.
Xia Xia thanked her repeatedly as soon as she got in the car, Jiang Youtian was very polite, looked at her and said, "You are Xiaochun's close friend? I often hear Xiaochun mention you."
Xia Xia hurriedly said, "To each other."
Jiang Youtian laughed immediately: "We can't 'each other', I'm not her best friend."
Xia Xia was bored in the car, looked around, and said enviously: "You graduated from the same class as us, right? You both have your own car, it's amazing!"
"Where! I borrowed this car from someone else. I just got my driver's license recently, so I would come out and drive for fun when I have the chance. If I say that, you won't be afraid, will you?"
"Ah? No, no!" Xia Xia smiled earnestly, "You drive very safely."
Because of the interview, Xia Xia was nervous, and asked Jiang Youtian for advice along the way, and he didn't teach her anything, he just told her to relax: "Answer whatever you ask, the problem should not be big. Xiaochun said you are the biggest person The characteristic is honesty, what the other party wants is you."
The company was really remote, and after getting off the viaduct, it took a long way to get there. Looking around, the company area is quite large, with a wide view, unlike the urban area where every inch of land is expensive, and it is full of high-rise buildings.
Jiang Youtian parked the car in the temporary parking lot in front of the company, turned to Xia Xia and said, "Go in, I'll wait for you here."
"It's really troublesome for you."
"You're welcome, remember to relax." Jiang Youtian pointed to his face, "You look pretty when you smile, if you can't answer, just smile more."
"Hey, good." Xia Xia entered the factory with a smile on her face, and the little tiger teeth were shaking in the cold wind.It was the first time she heard that she looked good when she smiled.Thinking about it this way, my confidence has increased a lot.
Half an hour later, Xia Xia walked into the factory area with a smile all over her face, and ran towards Jiang Youtian's car.
Jiang Youtian knew something was going on when he saw her expression: "Did you have a good chat?"
"Yeah!" Xia Xia was elated, "The financial manager who interviewed me was very kind and said he was satisfied with me. He even asked me if I was your classmate, huh? By the way, his surname seems to be Jiang!"
"He is my cousin." Jiang Youtian broke the window paper, "The company is also run by their family."
"That's it!" Xia Xia's self-confidence suddenly weakened a lot, it seems that the power of the network is still strong.
Jiang Youtian seemed to guess what she was thinking, and explained: "Although he is my relative, he has never been recognized by his relatives when he picks people. Originally, my cousin wanted to fill this vacancy, but my cousin refused. You can get into his eyes, which means He is really happy with you."
Xia Xia grinned gratefully at him.
And no matter how she was selected, she finally had the chance to leave Qunxin. This alone made Xia Xia feel elated.
Complacent, she couldn't hold back for a while, and revealed the good news to Wang Jing in advance, and finally said comfortably: "Just wait for the other company to send me an acceptance letter, and I can submit my resignation right away."
"Ah! You really want to leave?" Wang Jing expressed regret, "Actually, Boss Tian is not that difficult to get along with. You see, after you cried that day, his attitude towards you eased a lot."
"Hmph, it's late!"
"Xia Xia, how lonely I am when you leave!"
Xia Xia took Wang Jing's hand affectionately: "I am here to be taken care of by you and Manager Lei. Even if I leave, I will never forget your great kindness. I will definitely come back to repay you when I develop in the future!"
Wang Jing's sad mood was immediately destroyed, and she burst out laughing.
After 05:30, Tian Ning came back from the meeting room and found that there was no one in Xia Xia's seat, the desk was tidy, and she had obviously left work.He frowned. He had an urgent matter to call for her, but she was fine and left before talking to herself.
In the past, Tian Ning definitely called her back, but after being frightened by her "flooding Jinshan" that day, Tian Ning found that he was actually a little afraid of her.
He sighed and went back to the office, there was nothing he could do, he had to figure it out by himself.
Just after typing the first two words of the manuscript, a conversation between Lei Mingyang and Wang Jing suddenly came from outside the door. Tian Ning's eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly, "Wang Jing, come in!"
Wang Jing's figure immediately appeared in front of him: "What's the matter, Mr. Tian?"
"Make a file for me before leaving."
"Oh." Wang Jing took the documents and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Tian Ning again.
Tian Ning thought about it: "Based on what you know about Guo Xiaxia, she's going to be angry for a few days before it goes away?"
"This... Mr. Tian, how did you offend her?"
"I just said a few words...well...maybe, maybe it hurt her self-esteem."
Wang Jing couldn't hold back for a while, and felt wronged for Xia Xia: "Mr. Tian, you are really, Xia Xia has such a good temper, and you are always aggressive with her. She cried so badly in the bathroom that day, even I... "
"I didn't do it on purpose." Tian Ning spread his hands, "Besides, I'm trying to make up for it!"
"I advise you to save yourselves, Xia Xia is about to leave, so you..." Wang Jing lost her mouth for a moment, and covered her mouth with her hands in fright.
Tian Ning frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting, Xia Xia, she's gone, she's off work."
Tian Ning put his hands on his hips, and his eyes were piercing: "You think I'm stupid? If I can't even understand the words, how can I do sales? Tell me clearly!"
Wang Jing had no choice but to shake out Xia Xia's "secret" of finding another job with a bitter face, and stared at him pitifully: "Mr. Tian, you won't kill Xia Xia, right? Then I will become a An eternal sinner!"
Tian Ning's thick eyebrows were still tightened, and he waved his hand: "It's nothing to do with you."
"Then... don't tell Xia Xia that I said it!"
"They say it has nothing to do with you!"
Wang Jing was still annoyed: "I..."
"What are you still dawdling about, quickly type out the file for me!"
"Oh." Wang Jing left with a sad face.
Tian Ning sat down on the chair, tapped the pen for a while, tapped the table for a while, and fell into deep thinking.
It was almost ten o'clock when Xia Xia and Xiaochun returned home after eating the small hot pot.She didn't have time to boil the water, so she put down her backpack and checked her emails online.Manager Jiang really kept his word, the letter of appointment had already been sent to her free mailbox, Xia Xia suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally, and every pore was floating.
Whenever she gets excited, she tends to suffer from insomnia. She tosses and turns in bed and cannot fall asleep. Later, she simply doesn't sleep, thinking about how to write her resignation letter.
When she left Maxim she didn't want to say anything, she used the most old-fashioned platitudes.But this time when she left Qunxin, she felt that she had pretended to be accusing Tian Ning.
It took me a while to conceive the draft in the middle of the night, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn.
Although the quality of sleep is poor, the spirit is better.Sitting on the bus, Xia Xia went through the resignation letter from beginning to end again.This is her main task this morning.
Coincidentally, Tian Ning was not there in the morning, and no one disturbed her from time to time, and the letter of resignation was written even more smoothly.After I finished writing, I recited it silently again, and I felt unprecedented narcissism.
Such a good article, with so many allusions and quotations added, if it goes to participate in a high school composition competition or something, maybe it can get a place, and handing it over to Tian Ning is a bit wasteful.
She happily adjusted the format, printed it out and put it in the company's standard envelope.She planned to present the letter to Tian Ning as soon as she saw him.
In the afternoon, Tian Ning finally returned to the company, looking in a good mood.
Xia Xia opened the drawer, carefully took out the envelope containing the letter of resignation, turned around and entered Tian Ning's office.
Tian Ning just sat down firmly on the chair: "What's the matter?"
"I have something to tell you." Xia Xia said refreshedly.
Tian Ning seemed a little surprised: "Really! Then we really have a good understanding! Sit down, I also have something to say."
Xia Xia was slightly stunned: "Then, you go first."
"That's right." Tian Ning clasped his hands on the table, with a sincere expression, "I just remembered something in the past two days. You were transferred to be my assistant, and the salary should be increased accordingly. I Well, I have been observing you secretly for so many days, and I feel that you are good in all aspects, so I plan to notify the personnel department soon, and adjust your benefits to the level that an assistant should have, what do you think?"
Xia Xia was stunned for a while, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked softly, "Probably... how much can I add?"
"My original assistant was [-] when he first came. Of course, he did a better job later than that." Tian Ning said lightly, "I'll adjust it to [-] for you first, and increase it later when I have a chance."
Xia Xia was dumbfounded.This salary is twice what she makes now and three times what she makes in her new position!
God!She felt that pink banknotes were all in front of her eyes, floating down to drown her.
Tian Ning took out a form that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to her: "If you have no objections, just sign this salary adjustment form and hand it over to the HR department in a while."
Xia Xia licked her lips, quietly stuffed the resignation letter into her pocket, and took the letter with trembling hands to read it carefully.
In black and white, it is clear.
Tian Ning saw all the changes in her expression one by one, and secretly thought it was funny.He put the pen in front of his nose and asked leisurely, "It's your turn, what do you want to say to me?"
"Ah? Oh, no, no more." Xia Xia grinned vigorously, "I have nothing to say."
(End of this chapter)
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
"Oh!"
Tian Ning walked quickly, and when Xia Xia trotted into the office, he was already sitting behind the desk with his feet crossed: "You buy the gifts according to this list, and send them to me one by one. This is your main task this week. Mission. Come next week for Christmas and New Year's Day!"
Xia Xia took the list and looked at it. There was a long list of names, and the word "Ms." was remarked next to each name. The column on the right was a variety of fashion items with different styles.
"You have so many girlfriends!" Xia Xia was speechless.
"You know what a fart! These are all related households, and have nothing to do with me!"
"Then why are they all women?"
Tian Ning glanced at her contemptuously: "Of course the gifts must be given to the wives or girlfriends of the relatives! Without them blowing my pillow, how would I do business?"
Xia Xia deliberately nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's still your thoughtfulness!"
She turned around to leave, but Tian Ning stopped her again and told her, "Don't forget to match the gift with a bouquet of flowers. The florist will use the one I gave you my business card before."
It took Xia Xia three days to get all the ladies on the list in place.When I went to the flower shop to pay the bill on the last day, the beautiful and gentle proprietress gave her a bouquet of pink carnations as a thank you, and she took it back to the company lovingly.
"Mr. Tian, the presents are all gone! This bouquet of carnations is from the flower shop. Where do you put them?"
Tian Ning was busy with his work, so he didn't even glance at it. He raised his hand and impatiently dusted it in the air: "Let's put it anywhere."
Xia Xia looked around, but there was no container for the bouquet. She felt sorry for the fragrance, and ran to ask an aunt in the administration department for a glass vase, filled the water and put it on the tea table in Tian Ning's office.
The white coffee table is matched with pink flowers, delicate and fresh, Xia Xia looked left and right, and couldn't bear to look away: "Mr. Tian, can I have two?"
Only then did Tian Ning look up, indifferent to the beautiful bouquet: "If you like it, take it away."
Xia Xia was delighted: "Really? Then I'll take the bottle away with you! Don't be reluctant!"
"Where did you come up with so much nonsense!"
Xia Xia hugged the vase, stuck out her tongue and slipped out.
As soon as the vase was placed on the desk, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Colleagues who passed in front of her all stopped to strike up a conversation.
"Hey, Xia Xia, who sent the flowers?"
"It's not a gift, it was moved from Mr. Tian's house."
"Wow! So it was sent by Mr. Tian!"
"No..." Before she could finish explaining, she hurried away.
Half an hour later, Wang Jing ghostly came to her for tea, and the two chatted secretly in the tea room.
"How has Boss Tian treated you recently?" Wang Jing's tone was treacherous.
"That's it!"
"It is generally reported that the number of times he scolds you has decreased recently, and the number of times he praised you has increased!"
Xia Xia laughed dryly: "Thank you for me, everyone."
"I think so," Wang Jing stirred the hot honey tea with a spoon, "Our Mr. Tian has the kind of temper that takes hard but not soft, and he probably...is interested in you."
"Interesting?" Xia Xia looked up to the sky and smiled, "Haha, hahaha! You are the only one interesting!"
"Don't believe it!" Wang Jing was slightly annoyed at her attitude, "Xiao Qi was only kept after she had a fight with him, look at how well she is doing now, and has been rated as the best salesman for two consecutive quarters. Already!"
"Didn't you say that Xiao Qi sacrificed that to keep it?" Xia Xia touched each other with her two thumbs.
"That's everyone's guess." Wang Jing said with a smile, "From you, I understand that breaking into the boss's office is not necessarily just to make ends meet, it may also be to get mad!"
As soon as Xia Xia returned to her seat, she moved the vase of flowers back to Tian Ning's office intact.
Tian Ning stared at her dissatisfied, "What are you fussing about?"
"This flower is too eye-catching, it's better to put it here."
"I'm sick!" Tian Ning muttered, and waved to Xia Xia again, "Come here."
When Xia Xia came to the side, Tian Ning pointed to the masterpiece of his hard work on the computer screen, and asked proudly, "What do you think of this icon?"
Xia Xia looked at it horizontally and vertically, and found it difficult to comment.
"Are you dumb?"
"You want me to be honest or..."
"When did I ever appreciate your compliments! Tell the truth."
"I think," Xia Xia lowered her voice cautiously, "it looks like shit..."
"Guo Xiaxia!" Tian Ning gritted his teeth.
Xia Xia shivered in fright, and hurriedly apologized: "The boss calms down, I haven't finished talking yet! It will be much better if you straighten the lines."
Tian Ning stared at her for a full ten seconds before turning his gaze back to the screen, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Fuck! You really look so fucking good when you say that!"
He turned his eyes and looked at Xia Xia again: "You used to talk to Ye Yinfeng with such a sharp tongue in Maixin?"
"No!"
Tian Ning gave a strange laugh: "Then why do newcomers get angry when they run around?"
"Because Mr. Ye has never treated me with a green face and fangs like you!"
"Get out! Talk and talk, and the dog can't spit out ivory!"
Xia Xia gradually figured out the way to get along with Tian Ning. The more unpleasant the words were, the more he could listen to them.This saves her a lot of time trying to figure out what her boss is thinking, and she is happy to go straight to the point.
Xiaochun also asked her about her impression of her current boss. She thought about it for a long time and said, "He... has a bit of a masochist tendency..."
After the New Year's Day, the company's tense settlement atmosphere eased, but Xia Xia knew that Tian Ning was still running for a client named "Wenda". He heard that the company was about to open bids, and Qunxin was there. The foundation is relatively weak, but Tian Ning is unwilling to give up and wants to make a final effort.
Hard work pays off. Two days before the bid opening, Wenda finally agreed to let Qunxin go to the company to give a systematic product introduction to relevant personnel. He rushed to Wenda.
Xia Xia always thought that Maixin's project for Wenda was sure to win, but she didn't know what method Tian Ning used to let him pry open a gap.But to be honest, she was really not sure whether she wanted Maixin to win the order or Qunxin to win the order.
With Tian Ning not around, she naturally had clean ears and relaxed body.But not long after the good times, Tian Ning's call came.
"Xia Xia, help me send me a document in the office marked 'Supplementary Terms of Wenda Plan', hurry up!"
Before Xia Xia had time to ask for details, Tian Ning pinched the phone, and when she called again, the other party turned off the phone.
Tian Ning was somewhat wary of her, so she was not allowed to handle any information related to the client. Today, it was probably because the situation was urgent and she couldn't find anyone to help her. Even Wang Jing was dragged to coordinate the scene. .
Xia Xia rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Tian Ning's office, and finally found the document that Tian Ning mentioned in the stack of drafts on the cabinet. In order not to make mistakes, she even went through the stack of papers from beginning to end. Convinced that only this one match, put it in the folder and hurried to Wenda.
When she arrived at Wenda, Xia Xia explained her purpose, and the guard sent a security guard to go in with her to find someone.
The doors on both sides of the Wenda meeting room were closed, but there were still conversations leaking through the cracks in the door. The security guard pushed the door open for Xia Xia. She hurriedly looked around, and a manager from the group's new technology department introduced product parameters on the stage. , Tian Ning was sitting in the middle of the seat, communicating with a person in charge of Wenda in a low voice.Seeing her, he hurriedly greeted her and left his seat.
Xia Xia felt that his face was not very good-looking. After she handed over the document and Tian Ning glanced at it hastily, his facial expression became even stiffer.
"How did you take this?" He asked dissatisfied.
Xia Xia was surprised: "Isn't this one? But your office only has this supplementary clause!"
"How is it possible!" Tian Ning realized that her voice was too loud and quickly shut up. She squeezed Xia Xia's arm and dragged her to a secluded place in the corridor away from the conference room. Looking for it on the table?"
"Looked for it! No."
"What about my drawer?"
"You're locked!"
Tian Ning cursed and shook the document in his hand angrily: "This thing is not right at all. What I want you to bring me is the final draft. If you have no idea, why don't you call me?"
Xia Xia felt aggrieved: "Your phone is turned off!"
"I'm talking to a client, can you answer the phone without moving!" Tian Ning said in a sharp tone, "If I can't find it, I won't go to Wang Jing? Or Lei Mingyang? You can do things without using your brain?"
Xia Xia couldn't argue, so she simply stopped talking.
Tian Ning stuffed the document into her arms, turned away angrily.
"President Tian, can I go back?"
"If you don't go back, wait for someone to invite you to dinner!"
Xia Xia rolled his eyes at him, and stuffed the documents back into his bag listlessly. This trip was a waste of time.
After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly felt a familiar figure standing in front of a certain door, looking around, the other person was staring at her intently.
Recognizing that it was Ye Yinfeng, Xia Xia's heart skipped a beat. He must have seen all the embarrassment of being scolded just now, and his face suddenly turned red and white alternately.
She didn't feel it when she was being scolded by Tian Ning, but at this moment under Ye Yinfeng's sympathetic gaze, Xia Xia felt the desperation now, she lowered her head, and walked past him without saying a word.
Ye Yinfeng didn't stop her. Behind him, the head of Wenda who was in charge of this project was walking towards him enthusiastically.
For two days after returning from Wenda, Tian Ning's face was as cold and hard as iron, and he didn't even apologize for giving Xia Xia a hard time.
Wang Jing comforted Xia Xia in private: "It's really not your fault. Mr. Tian thought the terms in that document were too disadvantageous, so he deleted it. When we went to Wenda to talk, the other party had some requirements. In order to show sincerity, Mr. Tian asked you to send over the terms. But then again, even if we had this item, we couldn’t win Wenda’s order. It was decided in advance, but Wenda’s headquarters demanded that suppliers must be treated equally. Pull us over there as a foil. Mr. Tian will understand what's going on as soon as he sees Maixin's people in Wenda. If he's in a bad mood, he'll take his anger out on whoever catches him. Don't take it too seriously. "
"I'm fine." Xia Xia curled her lips, "It's not the first day I know his virtue."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "I found you to be quite open-minded. Your ex was scolded and cried by him!"
Qunxin really didn't win the text. When the news came, Tian Ning was discussing the topic of marketing strategy with several key members. Because it didn't involve commercial secrets, Xia Xia was allowed to listen in.
After answering the sales call from the bid opening site, Tian Ning glanced down calmly: "We lost the bid for Wenda."
Everyone had expected it, but such news would inevitably affect morale, and the office was silent for a while, as if in silent mourning.
In such a solemn atmosphere, Xia Xia's cell phone rang untimely, and the ringtone was cheerful. She was so flustered that she pressed the answer button without even seeing the display clearly.
"Xia Xia, it's me... Ye Yinfeng."
Xia Xia froze, out of breath from nervousness: "You, what's the matter with you?"
"Guo Xiaxia, who's call is so important that you have to answer it right now?" Tian Ning stared at her gloomily, with a tone of finding fault.
"I, I'm in a meeting! Let's talk about it later." Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xia Xia hurriedly cut the thread, then raised her head, and continued to grieve with everyone.
Tian Ning glared at her, his face softened slightly.
Xia Xia was calm on the surface, but she was busy in her heart. She didn't know why Ye Yinfeng called her. Besides, why did she call herself at the very moment when she won the project?
Thinking back to hearing his familiar gentle voice just now, Xia Xia's nose couldn't stop turning sore, she was a little annoyed at herself, why did she still react so strongly every time she saw him or heard his voice, what she had to do, wasn't it as soon as possible Drive him out of your heart?
Ye Yinfeng stopped in front of the office window.
It was the first time he felt empty after winning an order, as if he had won a game beautifully, but no one cheered.
There was a misty mist outside the window, and the sun didn't come out for a long time.He thought, he must be bewitched by the gloomy weather to dial Xiaxia's number.
He was looking for her for nothing, nothing else, just wanted to say hello.
He thought repeatedly, if Xia Xia had a good life after leaving, would he not be as upset as he is now?
But in fact, she was not doing well.
That day in Wenda, he saw Tian Ning's ferocity and Xia Xia's grievance, including her tight voice when she answered the phone just now and Tian Ning's sarcasm.
He lowered his head and shook his head slightly, as if trying to shake off the remaining guilt, although he knew it would not be easy.
He hoped that he could do something for Xia Xia.But until sunset, Xia Xia didn't call.
It was clear that she no longer needed him in her life.
According to the usual practice, every time a single leaf Yinfeng is signed, the members of the project team will be invited to a meal to celebrate.After five o'clock, Cui Youxin brought a few beaming young people over to claim credit.
"Mr. Ye, everyone has been waiting for this meal for a long time!"
Ye Yinfeng smiled and expressed his thanks to them, but tonight he was not in the mood to revel with the staff: "Old Cui, I have some personal affairs to be busy today. How about this, you take everyone to have a good meal first, and I will do it tomorrow How about letting everyone relax a bit?"
The young people cheered in unison without waiting for Cui Youxin to make a statement.
As soon as everyone left, Ye Yinfeng didn't want to stay in the office anymore, so he called Wenxuan and learned that she was still in the shop, and Xiaodong was also there.
"Then I'll go pick you up now."
Wenxuan's home decoration business has gradually improved. Residents nearby have heard that there is a beautiful boss here, and they come to watch it curiously.
Every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, Wenxuan asks a newly hired worker to help watch the store, and then goes to a nearby kindergarten to pick up Xiaodong, and then the mother and daughter stay in the store until 06:30 before closing and going home.Sometimes Ye Yinfeng would come to pick them up when he got off work early.
Ye Yinfeng drove to the side of the road opposite the shop, Wenxuan was already waiting at the door holding Xiaodong's hand.
It was raining in the sky.Instead of getting out of the car to pick them up as usual, he lowered the window and waved to the opposite side.When Wen Xuan saw her, she immediately pulled down the shutter door, opened her umbrella, and came across the road with Xiaodong in her arms.
Xiaodong was still the same as before, he didn't cry out when he saw Ye Yinfeng, but just stared at him, and he didn't care.
Wenxuan put away her umbrella, and got into the car with Xiaodong one after another.
"It's early today." Her tone was cheerful.
"It doesn't affect your business, does it?"
Wen Xuan smiled: "I'm not like you. If you close an hour earlier, you will lose one hundred and eighty thousand—Wen Da's list?"
"how do you know?"
"You can tell by the look on your face."
"Hehe, you really know how to read words and expressions."
Ye Yinfeng turned right and merged into a road with relatively less traffic.He would rather take a long detour than frequently eat red lights.
The road conditions suddenly improved a lot.
Ye Yinfeng said: "Tomorrow I will have a dinner with Lao Cui and the others to celebrate winning the order, why don't you come together, after all, you are also the boss of Maixin."
Wenxuan looked embarrassed, and said after a while: "I'm not going, I don't understand what you're saying, it's so uncomfortable to sit there. Besides, I have to take care of Xiaodong!"
That's what Ye Yinfeng said, and he didn't mean to force it. He had already discovered that Wen Xuan didn't like to show her face.
"It's up to you. Then wait until this weekend, and I will invite you alone, and Xiaodong. Congratulations on your second order after coming to Maixin."
"Thank you!" Wen Xuan pursed her lips and smiled.
She turned her head and looked out of the window. The tall buildings in the drizzle were connected together, and there were countless grids inside, hiding many people's dreams of home.
Compared with the vast world, people's needs are so small, but they are satisfied with a place to live.
Xiaodong quietly leaned against her, holding the baby bear in his arms, with his eyes half-closed, as if about to take a nap.The heater was turned on in the car, but Wen Xuan was still worried that she would catch a cold, so she took off her coat and put it on for her.
When they got home, Xiao Dong really fell asleep, Ye Yinfeng carried her upstairs again, and only he and Wen Xuan ate dinner.
"Will going to bed hungry affect your health?" Ye Yinfeng didn't understand children's routines at all.
"It's okay, I gave her some snacks when she was in the shop. She has been in a slump for the past two days, and she is probably going to catch a cold again. This child has been in poor health since she was a child." Wen Xuan sighed.
During dinner, Ye Yinfeng told her the details of the Wenda project. When he mentioned Qunxin, he pondered for a while and said, "Xiaxia is now in Qunxin."
Wen Xuan glanced at him unexpectedly, they hadn't mentioned Xia Xia for a long time.
Ye Yinfeng explained to himself: "Qunxin is also fighting for Wenda's order. I met her at Wenda two days ago."
"Is she all right?"
Ye Yinfeng smiled wryly: "Who knows!"
Wen Xuan scooped up a bowl of soup and put it in front of him, her tone became much calmer: "Actually, it's a good thing that she left you. You used to... take care of her too much."
Her bright eyes stared at him with insight: "If I were her, I would also misunderstand that you took care of yourself like that because you like it."
"You mean... I did something wrong?"
Wen Xuan didn't make a statement, but said slowly: "Of course you are free to treat others how you want, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the relationship between the boss and the staff should not be mixed with other elements, such as friendship, even if you really appreciate it. She. Besides, Xia Xia is a little girl who has just graduated. She hasn't experienced anything, maybe she hasn't even talked about a complete relationship. Suddenly, a handsome man greeted her with care, and of course she fell into it easily. .”
Ye Yinfeng suddenly felt very bored, put down his chopsticks, and leaned back in the chair.
Seeing his eyebrows tightened again, Wen Xuan's long-held displeasure deepened, and she was determined to break through the window paper that she dared not touch before.
"Yinfeng, we've been together for half a month, do you feel happy?"
"Of course." Ye Yinfeng was absent-minded.
"But I don't think so." Wen Xuan stared at him, "Maybe there is a question you should think about."
"...What?" Ye Yinfeng's eyes were slightly confused.
"Are you feeling guilty towards Xia Xia... or something else?"
Ye Yinfeng raised his eyes in shock.
Wen Xuan finished ordering, got up to pack the dishes and went into the kitchen, leaving Ye Yinfeng alone in front of the dining table.
She didn't turn on the hot water when she washed the dishes, and she didn't feel cold at all.With her hands lathered with dish soap, she mechanically moved the cleaned bowls from one side of the sink to the other.
If she loses again this time, then it's just another addition to her failed life.She comforted herself indifferently.
There were rustling footsteps piercing her ears, her whole body tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy, but she didn't turn around.
"I've thought about your question just now." Ye Yinfeng said softly, walked over and hugged her from behind, "I really only have guilt towards Xia Xia."
Wen Xuan closed her eyes tightly, silently breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her body completely relaxed.
"I'm sorry." Ye Yinfeng apologized in a murmur.
Wen Xuan wiped her hands, turned around and hugged him, wrapping her cold hands around his waist, the chill in her palms passed through the sweater and shirt, Ye Yinfeng hugged her even tighter unconsciously.
At ten o'clock, Wen Xuan urged Ye Yinfeng to go home and brought him another bag of walnut kernels.
"I heard your mother mention that she likes it at dinner that day. I bought it when I saw it in the supermarket in the morning. You can take it home. Don't say I bought it."
Ye Yinfeng took it over and looked at Wenxuan: "Come to my house for dinner sometime... It's time for my parents to know."
Wen Xuan just smiled: "Don't worry." Her gaze was meaningful.
Early on Monday morning, as soon as Xia Xia turned on the computer button, Tian Ning appeared in the field of vision full of energy.
"Morning Tian!"
"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"
Xia Xia had no choice but to leave the computer and get up, suspicious in her heart, wondering what made Tian Ning so excited.
After entering the office, Tian Ning ordered again: "Close the door!"
Xia Xia shivered like a conditioned reflex: "Why?"
"Tell you to shut it down and shut it down! I have something to ask you."
After closing the door, Xia Xia nervously sat down opposite Tian Ning.
"Tell me, why did you leave Maixin?"
Xia Xia's mind suddenly froze: "Why do you ask this?"
"Don't tell me what nonsense career planning is! You jumped to Qunxin from Maixin, it's like walking on flat ground, there is no slope - I want to be honest!"
Xia Xia bit her lip and said reluctantly, "Maixin is not suitable for me."
"Why not?"
"If it's not suitable, it's not suitable." Xia Xia also felt stubborn.
Tian Ning leaned heavily on the back of the chair, the clear look on his face made Xia Xia feel uneasy.
"Guess who I met for dinner at Yushuiyao last night?"
Xia Xia was silent, and was on guard vigilantly.
"I met Ye Yinfeng!" Tian Ning's eyes sparkled, "He is with a woman, oh, and there is a baby."
Xia Xia's complexion turned pale slightly, and the ominous feeling became stronger.
"That woman is very beautiful. I heard that she is the honorary director of Maixin. Her surname is Qiu." Tian Ning smiled, "Ye Yinfeng is quite generous. When he introduced me, he just said that she was his girlfriend. Damn! No Thinking that this competitive guy will end up choosing a woman who drags a small oil bottle!"
Xia Xia couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up abruptly.
"Sit down, sit down!" Tian Ning yelled, "I didn't let you go, I haven't finished talking yet!"
Xia Xia reluctantly sat back.
"At first, I thought you did something stupid to leave Maixin. I heard people say that you left the company for two days, and Ye Yin was very angry. But after seeing him with the woman surnamed Qiu last night, I Got it all."
He stared at Xia Xia happily: "You left Maixin because you were broken in love, am I right?"
Xia Xia blushed before he finished speaking, and said angrily, "Stop pretending to be smart! When did I say that I like Ye Yinfeng! Why did I leave Maixin? What does it have to do with you! If you think I If you don’t do well in Qunxin, you can fire me! But you have no right to laugh at me!”
She stood up with her fists clenched, and rushed towards the door like a little flaming fireball.
"Guo Xiaxia!" Tian Ning called from behind her, "Even if I guessed it, you don't have to react so much! People like Ye Yinfeng will always eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. You should leave him You should feel lucky!"
Xia Xia turned back and growled at him before opening the door: "No matter how bad he is, he is a hundred times better than you!"
"Hey!" Tian Ning pointed at the re-closed door, and said angrily, "It's really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart!"
Xia Xia dodged into the bathroom with her head bowed. The sudden blow made her feel ashamed and angry. She locked herself in the cubicle and couldn't bear it anymore. Can't stand it.
The frustration of the past few days burst across the board on this black Monday morning, and she cried so hard that she was out of breath.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia! Are you in there?" Someone was eagerly knocking on the door of the cubicle, and the voice sounded like Wang Jing.
Xia Xia ignored her, but her crying became weaker.
"Xia Xia, Mr. Tian is looking for you everywhere!" The knock on the door became more and more urgent, "No matter what happens, come out first and then talk about it!"
Xia Xia opened the door, Wang Jing stared in astonishment as soon as she saw her swollen peach-shaped eyes: "...was scolded by Mr. Tian?"
"Why is he looking for me?" Xia Xia's voice was hoarse from crying, and her voice was rustling.
"I didn't say anything, just let me come to you - wash your face well. Do you want skin cream, I have it there!"
"Thank you."
"You're being polite to me! You wait, I'll get it!" Wang Jing ran out the door courteously.
Xia Xia cleaned her tear-stained face by the sink.After crying for a while, I feel much more relaxed, and I have no time to care about what others will think of me, thinking bitterly, it seems that the job-hopping has reached the point of urgency and imperative.
It was easy to clean up. Wang Jing came out of the bathroom with her. Xia Xia felt something was wrong. There seemed to be several times more people around than before. Everyone looked very busy, but everyone had time to look over. Admire her blistered eyes with relish.
Xia Xia could only keep her eyes fixed, and silently said in her heart, "I don't exist, I don't exist..."
Wang Jing was not in the same office area as her, so she turned the corner and left first.Xia Xia returned to her seat, and the computer was still waiting for her to enter her username and password.
As soon as Tian Ning saw her coming back, he immediately jumped out of the office, looked down at her, and exaggeratedly widened his eyes: "Are you really crying?"
Xia Xia typed murderously, with a chilly tone: "What's the matter?"
Tian Ning shrank her neck in fear, and carefully placed the two pieces of paper in front of her case: "Please make a copy."
It was the first time he used the word "trouble" to Xia Xia. Previously, Xia Xia thought that he didn't understand civility and manners at all!
"Leave it alone, I'll send it to you when I'm done." Xia Xia didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Oh, thank you!"
Tian Ning raised his feet and walked back, turning his eyes frequently to check Xia Xia's expression, and accidentally bumped into the wall, and immediately uncontrollable laughter came from the nearby cubicle.
During the lunch break, Xia Xia found a secluded place in the company with her mobile phone and called Xiaochun. After describing the humiliation she had suffered this time in a few words, she urgently asked for help: "Xiaochun, you have to help me this time anyway. , I don’t want to stay in this damn place for a moment!”
"But you found the job with great difficulty, and it's not like you don't know the difficulty of finding a job for newcomers like us." Xiaochun seemed helpless.
"I can't control it, as long as I can leave Qunxin, I'm happy to do anything!"
"Do you want to carry big bags? That doesn't require work experience."
"Lin Xiaochun!"
"Okay, okay, stop joking!" Xiaochun quickly became serious, "Well, let me ask you, anyway, as long as I know you, regardless of seven aunts and eight aunts, go and disturb them again, I still don't believe it. , Digging the ground three feet and still can't find a small broken rice bowl!"
Xia Xia burst into tears of gratitude: "Xiaochun, you are the best!"
If you want to say that a best friend is a best friend, she is absolutely reliable in doing things.Within two days, Xiaochun brought her good news—a metal product processing company wanted to hire an assistant in the financial department, the conditions were very generous, and the salary and benefits were not satisfactory.
"But the location of the company is very remote," Xiaochun said clearly, "there is no shuttle bus, and you have to reverse the car to go to work every day, can you bear it?"
Compared with dignity, this hard work is nothing.Xia Xia didn't think much at all: "No problem! When will you go to work?"
"I don't know about this, I have to interview first! Are you free tomorrow morning? I'll ask Jiang Youtian to pick you up at your home. He happens to be on vacation tomorrow."
"If you're free, you're free! Why don't you just ask for a vacation!" Xia Xia was so anxious, she was really afraid that the duck she got would fly away, "Xiaochun, how likely is this to succeed?"
"Well, I heard from Jiang Youtian that they have interviewed a few times, but they haven't finalized it yet, so they are probably not very satisfied. I advise you not to think too much, and go over there tomorrow to get in touch with the interview. Based on your eyesight, if people are satisfied with you, your small shortcomings can be ignored."
Xia Xia suddenly came back to her senses: "Who is Jiang Youtian? Is it your elementary school classmate?"
Xiaochun was a little awkward when asked: "Yes! What's the matter?"
"Lin Xiaochun, so you're in a relationship!" Xia Xia screamed, "You're so mean, you even kept it from me!"
"That's not the case!" Xiaochun hurriedly clarified, "It's just an ordinary friend. I asked him casually if he had a job opportunity, and he found one after searching around. Don't think wrong!"
In the early morning of the next day, Xia Xia saw Jiang Youtian, who Xiaochun had been thinking about, in the downstairs of her house. Unexpectedly, he was a handsome white-faced scholar. Xia Xia always thought that a tough girl like Xiaochun liked the green forest hero type. It seems I don't know my girlfriend too well.
Xia Xia thanked her repeatedly as soon as she got in the car, Jiang Youtian was very polite, looked at her and said, "You are Xiaochun's close friend? I often hear Xiaochun mention you."
Xia Xia hurriedly said, "To each other."
Jiang Youtian laughed immediately: "We can't 'each other', I'm not her best friend."
Xia Xia was bored in the car, looked around, and said enviously: "You graduated from the same class as us, right? You both have your own car, it's amazing!"
"Where! I borrowed this car from someone else. I just got my driver's license recently, so I would come out and drive for fun when I have the chance. If I say that, you won't be afraid, will you?"
"Ah? No, no!" Xia Xia smiled earnestly, "You drive very safely."
Because of the interview, Xia Xia was nervous, and asked Jiang Youtian for advice along the way, and he didn't teach her anything, he just told her to relax: "Answer whatever you ask, the problem should not be big. Xiaochun said you are the biggest person The characteristic is honesty, what the other party wants is you."
The company was really remote, and after getting off the viaduct, it took a long way to get there. Looking around, the company area is quite large, with a wide view, unlike the urban area where every inch of land is expensive, and it is full of high-rise buildings.
Jiang Youtian parked the car in the temporary parking lot in front of the company, turned to Xia Xia and said, "Go in, I'll wait for you here."
"It's really troublesome for you."
"You're welcome, remember to relax." Jiang Youtian pointed to his face, "You look pretty when you smile, if you can't answer, just smile more."
"Hey, good." Xia Xia entered the factory with a smile on her face, and the little tiger teeth were shaking in the cold wind.It was the first time she heard that she looked good when she smiled.Thinking about it this way, my confidence has increased a lot.
Half an hour later, Xia Xia walked into the factory area with a smile all over her face, and ran towards Jiang Youtian's car.
Jiang Youtian knew something was going on when he saw her expression: "Did you have a good chat?"
"Yeah!" Xia Xia was elated, "The financial manager who interviewed me was very kind and said he was satisfied with me. He even asked me if I was your classmate, huh? By the way, his surname seems to be Jiang!"
"He is my cousin." Jiang Youtian broke the window paper, "The company is also run by their family."
"That's it!" Xia Xia's self-confidence suddenly weakened a lot, it seems that the power of the network is still strong.
Jiang Youtian seemed to guess what she was thinking, and explained: "Although he is my relative, he has never been recognized by his relatives when he picks people. Originally, my cousin wanted to fill this vacancy, but my cousin refused. You can get into his eyes, which means He is really happy with you."
Xia Xia grinned gratefully at him.
And no matter how she was selected, she finally had the chance to leave Qunxin. This alone made Xia Xia feel elated.
Complacent, she couldn't hold back for a while, and revealed the good news to Wang Jing in advance, and finally said comfortably: "Just wait for the other company to send me an acceptance letter, and I can submit my resignation right away."
"Ah! You really want to leave?" Wang Jing expressed regret, "Actually, Boss Tian is not that difficult to get along with. You see, after you cried that day, his attitude towards you eased a lot."
"Hmph, it's late!"
"Xia Xia, how lonely I am when you leave!"
Xia Xia took Wang Jing's hand affectionately: "I am here to be taken care of by you and Manager Lei. Even if I leave, I will never forget your great kindness. I will definitely come back to repay you when I develop in the future!"
Wang Jing's sad mood was immediately destroyed, and she burst out laughing.
After 05:30, Tian Ning came back from the meeting room and found that there was no one in Xia Xia's seat, the desk was tidy, and she had obviously left work.He frowned. He had an urgent matter to call for her, but she was fine and left before talking to herself.
In the past, Tian Ning definitely called her back, but after being frightened by her "flooding Jinshan" that day, Tian Ning found that he was actually a little afraid of her.
He sighed and went back to the office, there was nothing he could do, he had to figure it out by himself.
Just after typing the first two words of the manuscript, a conversation between Lei Mingyang and Wang Jing suddenly came from outside the door. Tian Ning's eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly, "Wang Jing, come in!"
Wang Jing's figure immediately appeared in front of him: "What's the matter, Mr. Tian?"
"Make a file for me before leaving."
"Oh." Wang Jing took the documents and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Tian Ning again.
Tian Ning thought about it: "Based on what you know about Guo Xiaxia, she's going to be angry for a few days before it goes away?"
"This... Mr. Tian, how did you offend her?"
"I just said a few words...well...maybe, maybe it hurt her self-esteem."
Wang Jing couldn't hold back for a while, and felt wronged for Xia Xia: "Mr. Tian, you are really, Xia Xia has such a good temper, and you are always aggressive with her. She cried so badly in the bathroom that day, even I... "
"I didn't do it on purpose." Tian Ning spread his hands, "Besides, I'm trying to make up for it!"
"I advise you to save yourselves, Xia Xia is about to leave, so you..." Wang Jing lost her mouth for a moment, and covered her mouth with her hands in fright.
Tian Ning frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting, Xia Xia, she's gone, she's off work."
Tian Ning put his hands on his hips, and his eyes were piercing: "You think I'm stupid? If I can't even understand the words, how can I do sales? Tell me clearly!"
Wang Jing had no choice but to shake out Xia Xia's "secret" of finding another job with a bitter face, and stared at him pitifully: "Mr. Tian, you won't kill Xia Xia, right? Then I will become a An eternal sinner!"
Tian Ning's thick eyebrows were still tightened, and he waved his hand: "It's nothing to do with you."
"Then... don't tell Xia Xia that I said it!"
"They say it has nothing to do with you!"
Wang Jing was still annoyed: "I..."
"What are you still dawdling about, quickly type out the file for me!"
"Oh." Wang Jing left with a sad face.
Tian Ning sat down on the chair, tapped the pen for a while, tapped the table for a while, and fell into deep thinking.
It was almost ten o'clock when Xia Xia and Xiaochun returned home after eating the small hot pot.She didn't have time to boil the water, so she put down her backpack and checked her emails online.Manager Jiang really kept his word, the letter of appointment had already been sent to her free mailbox, Xia Xia suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally, and every pore was floating.
Whenever she gets excited, she tends to suffer from insomnia. She tosses and turns in bed and cannot fall asleep. Later, she simply doesn't sleep, thinking about how to write her resignation letter.
When she left Maxim she didn't want to say anything, she used the most old-fashioned platitudes.But this time when she left Qunxin, she felt that she had pretended to be accusing Tian Ning.
It took me a while to conceive the draft in the middle of the night, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn.
Although the quality of sleep is poor, the spirit is better.Sitting on the bus, Xia Xia went through the resignation letter from beginning to end again.This is her main task this morning.
Coincidentally, Tian Ning was not there in the morning, and no one disturbed her from time to time, and the letter of resignation was written even more smoothly.After I finished writing, I recited it silently again, and I felt unprecedented narcissism.
Such a good article, with so many allusions and quotations added, if it goes to participate in a high school composition competition or something, maybe it can get a place, and handing it over to Tian Ning is a bit wasteful.
She happily adjusted the format, printed it out and put it in the company's standard envelope.She planned to present the letter to Tian Ning as soon as she saw him.
In the afternoon, Tian Ning finally returned to the company, looking in a good mood.
Xia Xia opened the drawer, carefully took out the envelope containing the letter of resignation, turned around and entered Tian Ning's office.
Tian Ning just sat down firmly on the chair: "What's the matter?"
"I have something to tell you." Xia Xia said refreshedly.
Tian Ning seemed a little surprised: "Really! Then we really have a good understanding! Sit down, I also have something to say."
Xia Xia was slightly stunned: "Then, you go first."
"That's right." Tian Ning clasped his hands on the table, with a sincere expression, "I just remembered something in the past two days. You were transferred to be my assistant, and the salary should be increased accordingly. I Well, I have been observing you secretly for so many days, and I feel that you are good in all aspects, so I plan to notify the personnel department soon, and adjust your benefits to the level that an assistant should have, what do you think?"
Xia Xia was stunned for a while, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked softly, "Probably... how much can I add?"
"My original assistant was [-] when he first came. Of course, he did a better job later than that." Tian Ning said lightly, "I'll adjust it to [-] for you first, and increase it later when I have a chance."
Xia Xia was dumbfounded.This salary is twice what she makes now and three times what she makes in her new position!
God!She felt that pink banknotes were all in front of her eyes, floating down to drown her.
Tian Ning took out a form that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to her: "If you have no objections, just sign this salary adjustment form and hand it over to the HR department in a while."
Xia Xia licked her lips, quietly stuffed the resignation letter into her pocket, and took the letter with trembling hands to read it carefully.
In black and white, it is clear.
Tian Ning saw all the changes in her expression one by one, and secretly thought it was funny.He put the pen in front of his nose and asked leisurely, "It's your turn, what do you want to say to me?"
"Ah? Oh, no, no more." Xia Xia grinned vigorously, "I have nothing to say."
