Your loneliness is more moving than this world

Chapter 22
I squeezed through the crowd, stood opposite Li Da and said, "I just found out about this, don't you make a fuss in front of so many people? Maybe the reporter will come in a while." When Li Da saw me, he became even more angry. Said: "Guo Xiaoyu, they don't understand, you should understand? This is an event held together with government agencies. The most taboo thing is that the organizers come forward to advertise. Several exhibition units have complained to us, saying that you forced them Talking about cooperation, questioning the nature of our event, there are several customers of our Xingan, aren’t you breaking the stage? This is a mistake made by your people, tell me, what should you do!” I said : "It was my negligence. I didn't tell our staff in time that they should not do this. I apologize to everyone. In this way, from now on, I am optimistic about our people. Anyone who goes to discuss business with exhibitors will seriously Punish someone and make sure this kind of thing won’t happen again, alright?” Li Da said, “Okay, I believe you, but when Mr. Dou comes back, you must go to our side and personally promise us that it won’t happen again. This kind of absurd thing." Liu Jing stood behind and couldn't see it, and came out and said, "What's the matter with Mr. Dou? Didn't our Mr. Guo apologize to you, why did we not come down in front of so many people!" I said Turning around, he said: "Liu Jing, don't talk!" Li Da became angry again, looked at Liu Jing and said, "You little girl, where is it your turn to talk here? If you have the guts, tell me again!" I stopped Li Da's arm, and said: "Don't do this, Li Da, didn't you agree just now? For my sake, everyone go back to eat first." Jing walked backstage.Li Da refused to let go, and said at the top of his voice: "You people, what kind of company do you still do? Go back and sell your broken software, what are you doing here?" Liu Jing cried under the pony's pull, and said : "We are also the organizer, why do you bully people like this!" Li Da's veins burst out, and he shouted: "Whoever bullied you, you have a reason for doing something wrong!"

"Okay, Li Da!" I said with a stern face, "Don't go too far, what did Liu Jing do to you? What kind of people like you are capable of bullying a girl!" Li Dameng turned his head and looked at me with red eyes. Said: "What did you say? I bullied her? For our event, I lost my smile for a long time to those customers who complained, pretended to be a grandson for a long time, and came to you without even eating. Now you say I brought someone here Bullying your girls? Why, are you distressed?" I returned to normal and said, "Li Da, don't do this, it's all my fault, please, take someone back first, and we'll talk about this later Is it okay? For my sake." Li Da shook off my hand and said, "Don't touch me!" My hands stopped in mid-air in embarrassment.Li Da closed his eyes and sobbed softly, turned around and said to the back: "Let's go!"

The onlookers dispersed, and the sales staff sat down and started eating with the public relations staff as if nothing happened.Backstage, Liu Jing cried loudly on the table, while Xiao Ma stood beside her with a dazed expression.I walked over, handed the lunch box to Xiao Ma, and said, "Ma, let's eat first." Xiao Ma said, "Let's put up with this tone? Including this time, they bullied us twice." I said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's eat first." Xiao Ma took the lunch box, looked at Liu Jing and said, "You can persuade her, I have been persuading her for a long time, but it is of no use at all." I shook Liu Jing The arm said: "Okay, let's get up and eat first, those people are gone, it's okay." Liu Jing said, "Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

When Xixi came back from the company to pick up the documents, she gasped and said, "What happened just now? Liu Jing, what's wrong with you?" Liu Jing got up from crying enough, took the tissue in Xixi's hand, and wiped her face while sobbing.Xixi looked at me and said, "What happened?" I said, "I will ask for an explanation for everyone later."

After the sugar and wine exhibition ended, the organizer held an internal dinner. Xingan only sent a few department managers over for dinner. A dozen or so scattered people.Lao Dou called everyone to put the two tables together, called the waiter over and said: "Remove all the dishes that have been moved, and serve us another one according to the original recipe." The waiter said: "Okay."

The manager of the sales department stood up and said, "Come on, let's have a toast to Mr. Dou." Old Dou raised his glass and said, "The event is over. Everyone is tired these two days. I thank you on behalf of the company." After drinking, Mr. Dou continued to lecture: "I know everyone is not very happy because of some things today, it's okay, it's over, we don't have to think about it anymore, in fact, we don't have to worry about these things anymore. Now that everyone has followed me , trust me, I will definitely lead everyone to independence, we do not rely on anyone, we do our own business, I believe that as long as we unite, we can do better than those who have bad intentions for us." Sales The department manager applauded with tears in his eyes: "Boss said well!"

I'm so lost, I haven't spoken since the dinner party.Old Dou poked my arm and said, "Brother, don't be angry, come and have a drink with my brother." I drank the rest of the wine in the glass in one go, wiped my mouth, and still didn't say a word.

The cold and embarrassing atmosphere was activated by the staff of the sales department. Like the internal gatherings of the past, the anesthesia of alcohol and the stimulation of adrenaline made every colleague present no longer restrained. They all laughed and laughed. Come on! I went, as if everything just passed was just a choking cloud of smoke.I can't be happy, I don't even have the strength to pretend, I just feel that I have stepped into the swamp with everyone here, and I have no sense of security to look for.We have already lost some listed-level customers, and now we have torn face with our largest partner, and what's more, their boss has an unclear relationship with our group's top management.

Liu Jing put together a plate of dishes and brought them to me, saying, "Don't drink too much, you haven't eaten since noon." I took the plate, nodded and said, "Yeah."

That night, when I got home, I fell asleep on the couch with days of exhaustion.In the middle of the night, Li Xiaogan came out of the toilet, straightened my face and said, "Go back to your room and sleep."

In the next month, Xing'an sent people in batches to negotiate the follow-up work. I called Li Da once, but no one answered, so I stopped calling.I confessed my job and asked for bereavement leave to go back to my hometown to attend my grandmother’s funeral. When I returned to the company a week later, I found that everyone’s expressions had changed.I approached Liu Jing and asked her, "What happened recently?" She said, "The chairman came over the day before yesterday for an all-hands meeting. The company has a new direction, and Mr. Dou will tell you later."

"Brother," Lao Dou stood in front of the window and said, "I have decided to give up the cooperation with Xingan, not only Xingan, but also those customers related to Xingan. From now on, we will do it ourselves and only serve Our own customers." I said: "The chairman has agreed, right?" He said: "Yes, the chairman supports us." I said: "Okay then." He said: "I want to hear Listen to your opinion." I said: "Since the chairman has agreed, I have no opinion." He said: "Sit down, brother, I really want to hear your opinion, you don't have to be polite to me."

I sat down and said: "Do you expect the current sales department to develop new customers for the company?" He said: "Not only the sales department, but also the public relations department, they have talked to me many times, I think they should be given a chance .I have confidence in these little brothers. They have made achievements in the IT industry before. As long as we change our thinking and not limit ourselves to food business, the prospects will be much broader, so that we can make something by ourselves. Fan Chengcheng, get rid of Xingan and those difficult state-owned enterprises forever, and we can hold our heads high.” I said, “I don’t understand, what’s the conflict between developing new customers and maintaining old customers? Yes, Xingan and those old customers are I'm very picky, but the company has spent so many years cultivating the relationship between the food and beverage industry, if we say no, we don't want it, will it be too risky?" He raised his voice and said, "Xiao Guo, you haven't had enough of the Xing'an gang yet. Are you angry? By cooperating with them, even if we can maintain some big customers and earn a little money, what’s the point? We will never be able to do them, and we are here to do business, not to help.” I said: "Isn't this the case for everyone in the media? Only by being able to bend and stretch can we accumulate. Which media company doesn't survive under pressure? We are fledgling now, and we are under a little pressure to cultivate vitality. When our human, material and financial resources are enriched in the future, If you have more resources in your hands, you will naturally be able to get rid of Xing'an." "In the future? When will the future be!" He emphasized his tone, "Do you think I don't know how to endure humiliation? Don't you know how Chinese people flatter and engage in relationships? But I'm not that kind of person. What I hate the most in my life is that way of doing things. I took over this stall to do my own thing, not to pick up people's saliva, not to lick the ass of Li Xing'an and those companies behind him !"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Guo, I'm a little anxious." Lao Dou recovered his expression, "Actually, I know what you will say, and you have your reasons, but what you said is not suitable for the development of our company under the current situation. I hope you will cooperate more with the sales department and the public relations department in the future, and the customers they develop will still need to be carried out by your planning department.”

I looked at Lao Dou, thought for a while quietly, and said: "Okay, I will listen to you, and I support the company's decision." Lao Dou laughed: "That's right, brother, it should be like this, follow me, do it That's right."

6. Each has a ghost
Some people say that hatred is the biggest driving force for human development. Whether it is a large nation or a small enterprise, it is often dissatisfaction with the enemy that arouses people's fighting spirit.At first, I thought that the company I was working for encountered thorns and thorns, but it was because of laymen. The Xing’an gang kicked the hall, the female salesperson jumped off the building, and the fight at the sugar and wine exhibition.But I was wrong. The mountain of plans, chaotic entertainment, and endless overtime left me no time to think about the true original intention of the company's leaders. The chairman was unwilling to be just an investor, so he hired his own people to take over the Beijing subsidiary , the purpose is to enhance their right to speak at the group management level, which is a gesture of self-reliance.

The company blatantly cut off the relationship with all old customers, and no longer took any orders for food business. The planning, media, design and other departments were temporarily closed, and sales and public relations became the only busy departments.The younger soldiers returned to their old jobs, interviewing various people in the IT industry every day, scrambling to invite these people to dinner, sometimes they deliberately showed off to me, standing in the office hall with a playful smile and saying: "Mr. Guo, this is 'Soulang' The director of the operation department, I won't be busy in a while, you can get to know him."

Lao Dou was even more motivated, calling on the management personnel of all departments to put on a show in the living room, meeting with the vice president of an IT giant, making tea in person, serving tea, and greeting each other, as cordial as reunited comrades-in-arms .Lao Liu and I were forced to participate in the discussion of the new project. I raised some symbolic opinions on cooperation. Lao Liu simply pretended to be crazy, opened his mouth and smiled and said, "I don't know much about IT. I listen to the leader for everything." .” As the dual manager of the media department and the network department, Lao Liu naturally understands IT. His brother is both an IT returnee and an executive of a well-known portal website. I can't change Lao Dou's absurd decision, so he simply becomes an even more absurd supporting role.

In the dark safe passage, Lao Liu lit a cigarette, handed me the lighter and said, "This bunch of mediocre people really hope to have big business. They don't even understand the most basic things in the IT industry. They just want to promote themselves. products, and will first choose a professional consulting company or media platform for Internet promotion, what about us? Humph, these IT companies will at most give us some work on corporate promotional videos, or workshops (situational workshops) Our small public relations activities, our previous government relations, TV station relations, media resources, and exhibition platforms are all useless." I said: "Let's do it first, and this is the only way for now, maybe in a year and a half The company can figure it out." "One year?" Lao Liu sneered, "Let's take a break, Lao Dou will be dumbfounded when the board of directors' financial meeting next quarter is over, and it's still one year, you really think highly of this group of people of."

Liu Jing walked in, woke me up and said, "Don't sleep, I'm asking you something, just now they were discussing a workshop, what is a workshop?" I squinted my eyes and said, "A workshop is where we choose a place for them , Let them eat, drink and play while bragging." Liu Jing wanted to ask, but I snored, and she walked out angrily.

The hottest season of the year is here, hot air is everywhere, the sun shatters the last of the clouds, and blows away the small traders downstairs who are doing business under the scorching heat.I stood in front of the window wrapped in a towel, brushing my hair while answering the phone. Li Da asked, "I heard that you are doing IT orders recently?" "Hey, it's only been a month since we haven't contacted each other, so the tone is so hard?" I said, "We just follow what the company decides. What can we do? Why, are you working overtime today?" She said, "Today Wanhe TV is holding a live broadcast of a charity concert. Would you like to come and watch it? Call your friends.” I said, “No, it’s a hot day, it’s better to stay at home.” She said, “Hey, to be serious , my dad wants to see you, do you have time in the afternoon? Come to our company." I said, "What's the matter?" She said, "I'll find out when I come."

After registration, I followed the girl at the front desk into the public office area of ​​Xingan Media.

The exposed black pipes on the top, the white tables and chairs that can't be seen, the blue-gray shirts that shuttle back and forth, countless flashing screens, the phone rings one after another, and the girl with the MIC (microphone) and the ponytail ran into it without seeing it. On my shoulders, I quickly apologized, then continued to walk away with a straight face and nagging.This is the media industry I know, the media industry I am familiar with, and the media industry I have always wanted to get rid of. I have worked in a similar environment for five years, and now I see the top scale of this industry again. Some exclamation.

At the end of the jungle, stood a girl in a white shirt, blue tie, and curly hair. She stood with her hips akimbo, her eyes glazed over, like a polar queen waiting for her mount.I walked over, she winked, the girl at the front desk nodded and slipped away, she folded her arms and said, "Sure, it's on time, let's go, my dad is waiting in the office."

The door opened, Li Xingan raised his head, Li Da said: "President Li, he is here." Li Xingan said: "Come on, Xiaoyu, sit down, Dazi, you too." I sat down cautiously, Li Xingan picked up the phone and said: "Make three cups of coffee, the kind I brought from South America last time." I said, "Mr. Li, although Mr. Dou called you about the sugar and wine exhibition last time, I still want to tell you in person again. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Li Xing'an said with a smile: "It's over, you don't need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong. This time I didn't ask you to come here to talk about that, I heard Dazi talk about all the food items on your side You did it all, is that so?" I said, "I didn't do it alone, all departments worked together, we are a team." Li Xing'an said, "Xiaoyu, you don't have to see each other, although we haven't met much. Next time, but I know you better than you know me, you may not know, I know the vice president of your previous company, that is, your boss at the time, this industry is very complicated, but the circle is not big." Li Da interrupted and said : "Your female vice president used to be our project manager."

Li Xing'an came over, sat on the sofa opposite me and said, "Xiao Yu, I know that Mr. Dou doesn't like bureaucracy and politeness, and I don't like it either. I'm also a straightforward person. Let me tell you, if you want to work here, I can give you a salary that is [-]% higher than you are now. Dazi said that you and your friend want to change houses recently, come to my place, and I will find you a house near the company , I'll pay the rent... You don't need to rush to answer this matter, go back and think about it carefully, and just tell Dazi when you've considered it."

I stood up slowly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you for telling me this, but I really have no plans to change jobs recently. I have changed too many jobs in the past two years, and I need to stabilize. Our company is currently in the process of groping. At this stage, I still hope that you can help us more in business in the future."

Li Da chased out of the building, panting and said: "You don't need to be so rude to my dad, he didn't force you to work here, you are too rude." I said: "I am really a little embarrassed, I don’t know how to answer, you guys have to work overtime at night to hold activities, and I can’t disturb you, so…” She said, “Do you think that’s what I meant?” I said, “You mean the same as your father Is there any difference in the meaning? I will take this, really, you go back.” She said: “This is an opportunity, you’d better go back and think about it, don’t make a decision so easily.” I said: “Okay, I see... By the way, next Saturday is my birthday, and I plan to spend it at home. If you have nothing to do, come and have a meal." She said: "Okay, what gift do you want?" I said: "Nothing , just come and eat."

Thanks to the efforts of the sales department and the public relations department, an IT company signed a small contract with an attitude of trying. The planning department started to be busy again. I smoothly assigned the planning and execution rights to the sales department. This gesture of assistance quickly won the favor of the sales department, and the younger soldiers no longer looked at me harshly, and their words gradually became more polite.Zidi Bing does have some experience in the IT industry. Although the project operation is a little immature, at least they have regained their enthusiasm for work. Their enthusiasm for the IT industry is obviously more sincere than mine for the media industry.

"Sincerely fart, do you really think they are sales elites in the IT industry? Just now the manager of the administration department complained to me in the corridor for a long time, and the sales department asked him and the human resources department to help recruit. I sent a few newcomers to meet them, but guess what the sales manager said? He directly rejected the salary request, saying that sales don’t need any education and culture, as long as they are obedient and able to do the work, he even said that our company I can find a few high school students who can still do my job.” Lao Liu threw away his cigarette butts, and continued, “What kind of people are you using, what kind of people are you using? A bunch of rough goods from small companies, you really think highly of them .”
