Chapter 1 I'm on vacation
I pushed open the door of the business department office, and the oncoming heating immediately made my almost frozen body feel extremely comfortable. I took off my coat and shook off the remaining snowflakes on it. I also smiled and said, "The snow outside is so heavy. I haven't seen such heavy snow in several years. The snow on the ground is thick--"
I suddenly found that the office was very quiet, as if I was the only one talking. When I looked up, I saw my colleagues either not looking at me, and the eyes of the people who looked at me were filled with the words of sympathy, just like looking at a pig about to be pulled to the slaughterhouse. My heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over me.
My colleague Zhao Yanjin walked over with a piece of paper in his hand, patted my shoulder, and sighed: "Old Tang, the performance report of last month came out, you are again - Alas! The mother big worm is waiting for you in the office, she wants you to see her as soon as you come back. Brother, take care of yourself!"
I took the report he handed over and saw my name in the last place. I remembered that last month, the female big worm shouted at herself: "Tang Qian! You have ranked last in performance for five consecutive months, setting the highest sales ranking since the company was established. It's so glorious! Let me tell you, if you are the last one next month, you should prepare to roll the bed and go home. This is your last chance-"
Actually, I know that I am not a sales person by nature. I am introverted, dull, not good at speaking, not good at interacting, and very serious. I can't stand some evil things and can't do it. Therefore, sales can be said to be the job I am the most unlucky and unwilling to do. But by chance, I can only do things to deal with customers. I am depressed myself. How can I do a good job that I don't like? Although I have worked very hard.
After tidying up the instrument, taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door of the office of the business department manager Gu Ruoyan.
"Come in!" someone said inside.
When I opened the office door, I saw the female big worm sitting behind the desk, typing quickly towards the computer. She looked up and saw that it was me, pointed at the chair in front of the desk with her chin, and said, "Sit down first, wait for me, it's all right away." As she said that, she continued to quickly type something into the computer.
I had to pull away one of the chairs in front of her desk, sit down, and watch her busy in front of the computer-
She didn't know Gu Ruoyan's nickname is the mother big worm, but in fact she was still affected by her surname Gu. Isn't there a lady Gu nickname in "Water Margin"? In addition, Gu Ruoyan is usually serious and treats subordinates very strictly. Everyone in the business department's employees are like mice and cats when they see her, and they are afraid of death. This big worm is a tiger, and tigers are cats, so the employees privately call their boss instead of the manager or the name, so the big worm just calls it.
In terms of heart, Gu Ruoyan is completely incompatible with felines. She is about 31 and 2 years old. She wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and has a beautiful face. She should be fine and the place where she should be fine. She can be said to be a mature beauty. But she always faces people with a cold face at work, making people stay away from her. But she doesn't know what kind of person she is in her daily life? Are she also treats her family with a cold face?
I was thinking so randomly, Gu Ruoyan on the other side had already lost. She left the keyboard with both hands and turned to look at me. Under her cold eyes, I suddenly felt an invisible pressure, which made me unconsciously sit up straight and swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Gu Ruoyan didn't speak immediately. She just looked at me, and her right index finger unconsciously hit the tabletop, making a "tuk-tuk" sound.
I actually knew what she was going to say in my heart. I had a premonition that misfortune came, so I made enough mental preparations and just waited for her to speak.
After a long time, she finally said, "Did you see the performance report for November?"
"Yes, I'm the last one."
"what do you think?"
“—”
"No?"
I sighed and said, "There is no way, I have tried hard, but I still can't."
"Yes!" Gu Ruoyan's right index finger was still beating the table "tuk" on the table. She looked at the heavy snow outside the window and said, "You are really working hard. It's so cold outside and it's so snowing. Other colleagues are hiding in the heated office and refuse to go out. Only you are still braved the wind and snow to run business outside. I appreciate this kind of diligence."
I was a little surprised. It turned out that the female insect knew this.
Gu Ruoyan continued: "Don't think that I only look at performance, regardless of performance. In fact, I see every move you usually do. In our business department, you can say that you are the most serious and diligent employee."
The female worm suddenly praised me, which made me a little unexpected. But deep down, I still felt something was wrong. I didn't dare to show a flattered look at the moment, just lowered my head and didn't say anything.
Sure enough, the female big worm changed the subject and continued: "A person who works as hard as you ranks the last in succession of performance. Don't you think this shows any problem?"
"I-I-" Actually, I know the reason, but I can't tell it.
Gu Ruoyan stopped beating the table. Seeing that I was unable to say it, she said directly: "It means you are not suitable for the sales job. Your personality and temper determine that no matter how hard or hard you are, you will not deal with customers, do not understand or be good at guessing customer needs, and cannot do things that you think are hindering your face, so your performance will never be as good as others. Are you saying I am right?"
I sighed and nodded helplessly.
Gu Ruoyan said again: "When Manager Cao left, he told me to take care of you more. I also gave you countless opportunities. According to the company's regulations, the performance ranking at the bottom for three consecutive months must be implemented. And this is the sixth month, and I really can't help but not deal with it. After all, the company also has company rules, do you understand?"
What should come is always coming, and I no longer have any fantasies. I stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "I understand, I will hand over the resignation letter to you later."
"What are you doing? Sit down! Who wants you to resign yourself?" Gu Ruoyan pointed at my chair and shouted in a low voice. I was stunned and sat down again.
But Gu Ruoyan ignored me first, moved his mouse and clicked on the computer. After a while, she said, "Tang Qian, I heard that you were in the R&D department when you first joined the company. This is your director! Aren't you graduated from the Chemistry Department of Z University? The R&D department is where you show your skills. Why did you get transferred to the business department again?"
Yes! I felt a little emotional. Four years ago, after I graduated from college, I recruited a beverage company under Watson Group as a product development researcher. At the beginning, I was full of enthusiasm and active work. Not only did I put forward many suggestions for the company's original beverage products, but I also focused on the research and development of a new tea beverage. Just when I was doing it well, I offended Guo Yuhua, the head manager of the R&D department. That boy not only disdained my opinion, but also made many difficulties in the research and development of my new product, which made my research and development process very slow. Finally, there was one time
I couldn't bear it and had a big fight with him, so Guo Yuhua broke up with me. Fortunately, Cao Ziping, the business department manager at that time, sympathized with me very much and transferred me to the business department as a salesperson, and worked until today. When Cao Ziping was there, he took great care of me and had no performance. He never criticized me, so I made it through day by day. The good times didn't last long. A year ago, Manager Cao was transferred to the Shenzhen branch as general manager, and the new manager was the mother Gu Ruoyan. She was a manager who was merciless and only talked about performance, so my life became sad.
Looking at Gu Ruoyan, I had a lot to say, but as soon as I reached my mouth, I simply said: "It's nothing, I offended the leader."
"Is that true?" Gu Ruoyan glanced at me and continued, "In this way, I don't have the right to decide whether you will or not. The general manager has the final say. Don't worry, the general manager will come back from Hainan next week. Let's talk about it. Maybe there will be other arrangements? But you can stop in the business and explain what you should say. You can have a vacation in the next few days, and you will decide everything after the general manager comes back."
Actually, there is no difference. I have no friendship with the general manager. After he comes back, wouldn’t he still want to fire me? After coming out of the office of the big worm, Zhao Yanjin immediately came over and asked me: “Old Tang, how about it?” I first took out a cigarette box from my pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath. Then I smiled bitterly and said: “Old Zhao, please run for me from Baozheng’s company. I’m on vacation, maybe it’s forever.”
Zhao Yanjin actually expected this result, so he patted my shoulder speechlessly and sighed. On the other hand, colleagues Li Xiaoling, Zhang Shijun and others came to comfort me. I was in no mood, so I cleaned up, put on my coat and left the company.
The snow outside was very windy and snowy, and the snow was very deep. I felt very depressed. I walked to a bar and sat in front of the bar to drink. Actually, I don’t like drinking too much. At worst, I sometimes drink a little with customers, but once I have something to do, I will find a place to get myself drunk alone.
A pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine. After I wiped out all of them, it was already dark outside.
I staggered out of the bar and stopped a taxi and returned home. When my parents saw me coming back in a drunken state, they complained to me a few words, but sometimes I would come back like this when I ate and drank with customers, and they didn't think it was strange. I fell on the sofa in the living room, and the little sister ignored me and was watching TV attentively. I watched it without a glance, and it seemed that the movie awards ceremony was being played on the TV. It was time to announce the best actress.
I felt dizzy, and the alcohol came up, feeling extremely sad, so I closed my eyes. But I heard the little sister cheer and shouted: "That's great, it's Xu Shu. I've expected that anyone else would be qualified to win the award besides her!"
I opened my eyes and saw that the host had just finished announcing, applause from the audience was everywhere. A beautiful girl stood up with a smile and waved her hand to the stage. I vaguely remember her name: Xu Shu. Isn’t she a singer? Why are she acting in a movie again now? She won the Best Actress Award.
