1, water and wood combination
5:30 am.
"I love Yoona~~I love..."
Amidst the unique electronically synthesized alarm sound, he covered his forehead and sat up from the bed.
After squinting his slightly bloodshot eyes for a while, he couldn't help but look at the luminous alarm clock on the bedside that was particularly bright in the dark.
He was thinking something bad.
After thinking about it for a while, he still sighed with regret.
This object called the Yunshi Alarm Clock was something Lin Yinxi brought back to herself from South Korea last time.
The point is not his foreign origin, the point is that this was given to him by Lin Yinxi.
"Even if I throw away the things I don't want, they are still mine." This is one of the tenets of life that that damn girl abides by.
If I fail to suppress the thoughts in my heart, I will be blamed for the consequences.
"Shua——"
I got out of bed, put on my slippers, walked to the window and opened the heavy curtain with my own hands.
Suddenly, a familiar scene that seemed to have never changed every day jumped into view——
Under the pitch-black sky, the huge city was still dotted with lights.
The splendid streets are like criss-crossing comet trajectories, with the same eye-catching brilliance, but with different clear boundaries.
The street lights on the street downstairs were still as bright as before, and the light fell on the ground in white, but the road conditions seemed much deserted, and everything around was quiet.
Only occasionally, along with the sound of approaching cars gradually echoing, the red light from the rear of the car will flash across the street in front of me. Without thinking about it, I know that I am either returning home late, or I got up earlier than myself.
people.
Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, SH at this time feels a little less prosperous. Of course, this is just an illusion. Although the lights have dimmed, they have not been extinguished after all.
I looked at the thick fog on the river in the distance. It was so vast that I couldn't see anything, so I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
Sometimes, he always felt that the city was like a huge submarine.
Even if the light fades away and dives into the deep seabed, it still does not stop working, and the "parts" inside are still playing their respective roles.
Big cities have big city survival rules. No matter how late you work, there will always be someone who is later than you. No matter how early you get up, the world is still one step ahead of you.
When the concept of time begins to blur, there is not much difference between day and night.
Just like myself, a "conscientious part", I have been busy every day recently due to work matters.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, and finally took a deep breath of cold air and turned to wash up.
…
More than an hour later, when he was panting on a greenway and took off his earphones, and looked back to see the white fish belly slowly appearing on the horizon, a faint smile appeared on his lips again.
The "submarine" began to surface.
After returning home, he saw that the house was still dark and quiet, and there was no surprised expression on his face.
I didn't turn on the light, I just walked slowly into the darkness, and relied on my body's memory and a little visual adaptation to accurately find the location of the refrigerator.
"This girl..."
As soon as he opened the double doors of the refrigerator, the soft blue lighting made his eyes squint at first, and then he spotted a familiar sticky note.
Thick and soft eyebrows raised slightly, and he whispered helplessly. While taking out a large bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, he casually took off the sticky note with a pink "SM" handwritten LOGO and looked at it carefully.
One glance.
The few lines of small regular script with hairpin flowers on it look as pleasing to the eye as ever, but the handwriting is a little sloppy. It seems that the big sister of the fan meeting is busy today.
【Dear wood
I'm going to attend a club activity today
very important
Thank you for your hard work at lunch
Contact me online tonight!!!]
Next, there was a blank space. Maybe after the girl finished writing, she felt that something was missing, so she added two sentences in a formal way.
【Don’t worry about school!
The report card will be handed over to me soon by the girl with both hands]
The signature at the end is, "Dear Water". The word "water" seems to be flying out on the wind, which looks quite cool.
The so-called "social activities" are just a way of saying that Lin Yinxi euphemistically calls them.
The so-called "beautiful name" means that this is not the case.
The fact is that in Lin Yinxi's concept, only activities that she participates in and are interested in can be called "club activities."
In recent years, the only thing that Lin Yinxi can call "club activities" is the star-chasing activities that the fan group she currently belongs to carries out every once in a while.
It was different from the reaction of most parents in the country. He understood this matter and did not want to interfere too much. In fact, he could not interfere.
‘Societies activities are voluntary mass activities carried out in order to realize the common wishes of club members and satisfy the needs of individual interests and hobbies. They are all extracurricular activities anyway, so why can’t I treat star chasing as my own club activities?’
The girl's eloquent words were still in my ears, leaving me speechless.
Having a sister who is good at studying is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that if your parents are not around, you can only take care of her as a father and a mother, and you have to be criticized by her every day.
He has always considered himself a good brother and has a broad mind, so he chose not to refute.
It seems that I have to squeeze into the company cafeteria with Lao Li at noon today.
As soon as an idea came into my mind, the cell phone next to me rang at the right time. I took it over to take a look.
A name was displayed on the screen: Li Zhengyao.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
"Hello? Even if I'm sure you have a problem with getting up early, you'll definitely wake up now."
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
After opening the mineral water in his hand and taking a few sips, he held his cell phone between his neck and shoulders and walked towards the bathroom.
"Tsk, look at that cold face. Let me tell you, Lao Lin, you are a model of burning bridges. Not long ago, you were with me. The two of us were stuck together every day. News of us living together was almost spread on the ninth floor!
"
The secretary's office on the 9th floor of the company is known as the birthplace of gossip and scandals in the company's entire southeastern China headquarters, including everything from Minister An's own parents to the love affairs of a young intern in the company.
The overall ratio of male to female company secretaries in SH headquarters is 1:9, which means that in this information age, the convenience of communication tools has fully encouraged more than 90% of the company’s secretaries to serve the people all the time.
Worry, the spirit of worrying about the organization.
For a boss, who can he hide from his wife? Either the driver or the secretary. Since all company buses are driven by drivers appointed by the company, there is only one answer left.
"Have you finished speaking?"
He turned on the light in the bathroom, listened patiently to Li Zhengyao's complaints, and then said with a relieved look on his face: "Then I'll hang up."
"Hey! Oh, I owe you!"
Really unable to deal with this guy's bad temper, Li Zhengyao lowered his voice on the other end of the phone and said to him in a mysterious tone: "According to reliable sources, I have obtained important information related to this year-end summary meeting!
"
"You finally know that this year's year-end summary meeting is hosted by Lao An?" He successfully told a cold joke with his unreliable sense of humor.
"If I hadn't known that Lao An personally intervened in this meeting, do you think I could have kept you busy for a month just based on the after-dinner chats of those little girls on the 9th floor?!"
Sure enough, Li Zhengyao fully expressed his inner dissatisfaction with his naturally loud voice.
He held his mobile phone in one hand as usual and said calmly: "Now it's not just an after-dinner conversation."
"Do you even need to tell me about this? The announcement was made in the company on Friday afternoon the day before yesterday. I guess many people have been crazy busy these two days. Hey, who knows what Lao An thinks this year? The year-end company summary meeting was stunned.
It is linked to the personnel changes after the year. This time, some of the bastards who usually muddle along will be dumbfounded~"
"Anyway, the focus is not on the performance report. They can just have time to justify themselves in the summary report tomorrow."
He continued casually, then paused, as if he noticed something, and put down his hand that had just taken out a folded clean bath towel from the bathroom cabinet, and asked on the phone: "You know what?
What?"
Li Zhengyao on the other end of the phone immediately smiled, "Have you forgotten? The rumors in the company a while ago?"
A flash of inspiration seemed to flash in his mind, and he suddenly said: "You mean, about layoffs?"
"It is true that the SH headquarters is the head of the company in the southeastern region of China, but the sales department is indeed too bloated. I have received news that this time Lao An will probably decide on the list of personnel changes after the year based on the results of the year-end meeting. No
It only involves promotion, but also personnel retention."
After listening to Li Zhengyao's words, he thought about it and said: "Layoffs should be a matter for middle-level and below-level personnel."
"Yes, the layoffs have nothing to do with us, but what if it is a dispatch?"
Suddenly, he realized something, "You mean..."
Li Zhengyao sighed on the other end: "The way to solve the bloated department is not only through layoffs, but many capable employees are not willing to be laid off casually. Dispatch and transfer to other regions is also a way."
He came over knowingly, frowned and asked, "Are you sure about this news?"
"You don't know how many people our company has been short of in the past few years. Even the headquarters is now a bit short of staff. Unfortunately, our China branch has always been short of everything, except for people. The company has been short of people for a long time.
Chapter completed!
