Mother Yun received a call from her daughter during dinner and asked strangely, "Duoduo, what's the matter?"
"Mom, let me ask you something."
"Well, you said."
"When I was looking for this job, did you entrust someone?"
Mother Yun avoided answering, "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"
"Mom, just say if you're looking for it or not." Yun Duo said, but she was already certain, because her mother's tone was hesitant, there must be something to hide from her.
Mother Yun seemed to weigh it, and then said, "That's right, after discussing with your father, I did find him a college alumnus who is the deputy editor of your newspaper. I didn't tell you at the time, because I was worried about affecting your mood, but Your dad doesn't know that deputy editor very well either..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Yun Duo, "Mom, how can you do this?!" Because she was a little excited, she raised her voice unconsciously, which attracted the attention of the people around her.
Lin Zi glanced at her, then continued eating steak silently.
Mother Yun was taken aback by her daughter's sharp emotions. Duoduo has always been gentle and patient, rarely when she is in a hurry with others, not to mention that now she is yelling at her own mother. Mother Yun was also a little unhappy, "I didn't do this for you?"
"But why didn't you tell me then?"
"Will you still go?"
"I... Whether I go or not, you should let me know, I have to make my own decision."
"Then what? Without the help of me and your dad, you went out and ran into the wall, just looking for a temporary worker? No establishment or hukou?"
Yun Duo was still trying to suppress her emotions, but when she heard her mother's words, she became a little angry for a moment, "Hukou Hukou, go to its Beijing Hukou! How many people are fighting for a broken Hukou! Do you know me? This registered account was robbed from others? What is the difference between this and robbery?"
"You kid! Why do you talk like that? You mean that my dad and I did something wrong? You took great pains to pull down your old face to run a relationship with you, but it turned out to be a robbery for you? Do you still have a conscience?!"
When Yun Duo heard this, her eyes were red, "I know you are good to me, but I don't want this kind of good!"
The mother and daughter broke up on the phone like this.
After putting down the phone, Yun Duo was not in the mood to eat. She pushed aside the cups and plates in front of her, drooping her face and saying nothing.
Lin Zi put down the knife and fork, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, with an elegant posture. He said, "Although it may not be pleasant to say this, I still want to say, Yun Duo, you are wrong this time."
"Where did I go wrong?"
"You are too naive. Absolutely healthy competition does not exist, and human resources are also a resource. If you have this resource but don't use it, it is a waste."
"But it's not fair to others."
"Heh," Lin Zi shook his head and smiled, "so to say that a fresh graduate is hypocritical. If you want to be fair to others in such a situation, you must first sacrifice the fairness that your parents worked so hard to create for you. Don't think that your trust relationship is unfair. Many people are trusting relationships. Compared with those who trust relationships, you can only trust relationships that are truly fair. Of course, you can also choose to hand over your fairness to others. It is a person of noble character who sacrifices the ego to achieve the greater ego. However, you think that you are fulfilling the rules, but in fact, you are fighting against the rules, against the potential rules, that is, the real rules.”
After he finished speaking, Yun Duo's face collapsed like a collapsed bridge. She felt that what he said was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute it. In all fairness, she is not a kindergartener, of course she knows the existence of unspoken rules, but this unspoken rule happened to her suddenly, and her back was smeared, which made it difficult for her to accept it. Thinking of what Cheng Mei has lost, Yun Duo wants to slap herself. She used to think that the person who spread rumors to kill her must be disgusting, but now, she feels that no matter what Cheng Mei does, she will Not too much.
Yun Duo sighed, "I know your eloquence is good, and I'm not arguing with you. But I still think you're wrong. Thank you anyway, thank you for letting me know the truth." Although the truth hurts me a lot.
Lin Zi also sighed and looked at her helplessly, "Time will teach you everything, you are too childish now." However, I still like it, I'm not sure how much I like you.
Yun Duo went home angrily, as if he had lost his soul, Erbai came to play with her and ignored it, and hid in the room by himself.
Dad Tang and Ms. Lu in the living room looked at each other, Dad Tang said, "Is Xiao Yunduo in a bad mood?" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little guilty, "Could it be because of the dog I drew?"
Madam Lu gave him a sideways look, "Nerve!"
Ms. Lu felt that the bad mood of a woman in love was mostly related to emotional problems. She touched her chin and said to herself, "Did you quarrel with Doudou?"
"No, quarreling so soon?" Dad Tang also imitated his wife to touch his chin, thought for a moment and shook his head. "To be honest, the two children have good temperaments. It's hard for me to imagine what their quarrel would be like."
"You don't understand this, young people are like crazy when they fall in love. They quarrel every three days." Ms. Lu said, seeing a message coming in from her mobile phone, after reading it, she shook the phone at Dad Tang, "Look Bar."
The message was sent by Tang Yibai: Mom, did Yun Duo go back
Dad Tang gave a thumbs up, "Wife, you are really Zhuge again. I feel like Doudou is doing a ward round!"
Ms. Lu sent a message back to her son: come back.
Tang Yibai: Hmm.
Don't look at only one word, the message it wants to convey is very rich: I will not talk to you in advance now.
So Ms. Lu had reason to believe that the brat turned to harass Yun Duo next.
In the room, Yun Duo really received a call from Tang Yibai.
Cloud: "Hello?"
Tang Yibai said resentfully, "Didn't you tell me when you go home?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot."
Tang Yibai heard bad emotions in her somewhat suppressed voice, and he asked, "Why, are you unhappy? Didn't you have a good talk with your colleagues?"
"No, Tang Yibai, I..." Yun Duo suddenly choked up as she spoke. She was not a crybaby at first, but now listening to his gentle greetings in her ear, a feeling called "grievance" suddenly erupted. She covered her mouth, afraid that her tears would fall, so she dared not speak again.
When Tang Yibai heard Yun Duo's voice choked up, his heart was about to twitch. He hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Who bullied you? Say it, and I'll avenge you."
"It's not that others bully me, it's me who bullies others." Yun Duo sniffed, holding back her tears to tell what happened today.
Tang Yibai listened quietly and asked Yun Duo, "So what are you going to do next?"
"Tang Yibai, do you think I'm wrong too?"
"You're not wrong, Yun Duo, I know how hard it is for a person to stick to himself."
After holding back tears for a long time, when I heard this sentence, I finally couldn't bear it any longer. Yun Duo's tears were rushing, she wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Tang Yibai, thank you for understanding me."
"What are you polite to me?" His voice was low, gentle and slow, "You are my person, no matter what choice you make, I will stand by your side. Don't worry too much about this matter, most of all It's worse than quitting, such a bad job, it's better to quit, the big deal is that I will support you."
"What," Yun Duo laughed through tears, "who wants you to support."
After a pause, Tang Yibai said again, "Yun Duo, in fact, I can't help you with this matter. Although my profession is highly competitive, I rarely encounter such unspoken rules. But I know that there is someone who can help you, at least I can give you some advice."
"Who?"
"my mother."
Ms. Lu is in the management of a large state-owned enterprise, and she has never seen what kind of intrigue and conflict of interests. After Tang Yibai asked Yun Duo's opinion, he told his mother about it. So after a while, Ms. Lu came to knock on Yunduo's door in person.
In the face of this powerful elder, Yun Duo is always in awe and obedience unconsciously.
Today, Ms. Lu tried her best to disguise herself as amiable, and even smiled... It is quite hard to do things that go against her nature. ==
She said straight to the point, "I've heard Doudou about you. Well, what do you think about yourself?"
Yun Duo also calmed down a lot at this time, her thoughts were clear, she replied, "Auntie, in fact, I am not particularly disgusted with using network resources to help me increase my chips in the workplace. But the problem I am facing now is that my opportunity is not here. What I won in competition is to grab the opportunity that others have already had. This is beyond the bottom line of what I can bear. I am ashamed. I think it is I who harmed Cheng Mei. I am afraid that I will not be able to face her in the future. Can't stay in my position with peace of mind. I...I can't get past my own."
Ms. Lu has been listening quietly. After listening, she asked, "So you have made your choice?"
Yun Duo nodded, "Actually, the process was a bit difficult. If my mother knew what I was going to do, she would definitely fly over overnight."
"Yunduo, anyway, mom and dad are for your own good, don't blame them."
"Well, I know. Mom and Dad love me, and I love them too. But I don't want to compromise unconditionally because of love."
Ms. Lu smiled, this time from the heart, she said, "Sometimes you look a lot like that stinky boy."
Cloud blushed and lowered his head.
Ms. Lu said, "In fact, no matter what you choose, it's just to start a new plot for your life, just like playing a board game, so don't put too much pressure on it. Talk to your parents well, they will understand."
"Um!"
"But what I'm saying right now is that you're so naive."
"Ah?" Yun Duo raised her head incomprehensibly. Could Aunt Lu also scold her like Lin Zi? But not like...
"Yun Duo, you must always remember that what others say is not necessarily the truth."
Yun Duo was stunned, "Auntie, you mean... Lin Zi lied to me?"
Ms. Lu shook her head, "No, he shouldn't lie." His concern for you is real.
"Then... Cheng Mei lied?"
She still shook her head, "That girl shouldn't lie either." Her hatred for you is also very real.
Yun Duo was at a loss, "So what is it..."
"What if someone lied to Cheng Mei?"
Yun Duo opened his mouth, "No, no?"
"Why not? I have been in a state-owned enterprise for more than 20 years. There are many things here, and what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many things like displacement and replacement in recruitment, but there is a principle here. Because It is not in compliance with the regulations, so it is also risky, and everyone is very low-key. Then Cheng Mei, a newcomer who has only joined the company for more than a year, how can she know these inside stories? And so in detail? Does she have a backstage? Does she have a background? If If there is any, it's definitely not her who gets ripped off. If you want me to do this, I don't have to lie. I just casually reveal a few truths to ensure that she can think wrong. That little girl, she thought she was very smart, She may be really smart, but she is still young after all, she was cheated and even helped to count money. Besides, you applied through the unified school recruitment process, and interviewed with Cheng Mei. If someone in the unit really wants to protect you , just keep it, why bother to grab food from other people's bowls? Leaders also have dignity."
"But, why do you do this? Provoking me and Cheng Mei?"
"This is the crux of the problem. If someone really deceives Cheng Mei, then provocation should not be the main purpose. I think the biggest possibility is that Cheng Mei's registered account was stolen. In other words, the person who really obtained the registered account That person will not be employed in your unit, but only occupies a position. This stolen household registration may have been given to a relative of a leader, or it may have been sold directly. This situation is more difficult than Cheng Mei's. The hypothetical one is much more serious, after all, you are still in the unit. So the person who operated this matter was afraid that Cheng Mei would make things worse after knowing it, so he simply asked you to be the scapegoat."
After listening to Aunt Lu's analysis, Yun Duo felt that her outlook on life was about to be overturned.
Ms. Lu patted her on the shoulder, "So it's too early for you to decide whether to resign or not, let's get things clear first. It was just my guess, but I personally believe in these guesses. Given Cheng Mei's quota, many questions are inexplicable."
Yun Duo nodded, "I'll find out."
"Well, find a reliable person to inquire, it is best to find two or three more, otherwise it will be difficult to judge one-sided words."
"Um!"
Today, after talking so much in one breath, Ms. Lu is also a little tired. She stood up, "Okay, let's do this first, you can make a decision based on the situation. Hmph, I can deal with the stinky boy."
Yun Duo's face turned red, "Thank you, Auntie."
The next day, Yun Duo went to Teacher Sun first. Her most trusted senior in the unit is Teacher Sun. Unfortunately, Mr. Sun did not participate in the interview at the beginning, so he could not give specific information at this time. However, he said, "You suspect that you have grabbed Cheng Mei's place, which is basically impossible. If you decide to choose you instead of her, you would have already interviewed her directly, so why bother." It was exactly the same as what Aunt Lu said last night.
Yun Duo went to Qian Xudong again. Qian Xudong happened to have participated in the interview at the beginning. When he heard Yun Duo's question, he said, "I will tell you about this, but you are not allowed to spread it."
"Um!"
"After the second interview, the deputy editor suggested that you be admitted, but the editor thought you couldn't do it. In the end, Director Liu insisted on keeping you."
"Huh?" Yun Duo felt that he must have heard it wrong, "Who?"
"Director Liu."
"No? Director Liu has always hated me."
"He hates you because you don't live up to your expectations. Is there any new recruit who dares to single out a senior reporter from an authoritative online media at the interview site? You still have reason with you."
"Okay, it's my fault," Yun Duo quickly admitted, "That Cheng Mei..."
"Stop," Qian Xudong waved his hand, "I know about Cheng Mei, but I definitely won't say a word. If you're curious, ask Director Liu, he's not afraid of offending people."
How could Yun Duo go to Director Liu and ask this. But she really wanted to know why Director Liu insisted on keeping her in the first place, and even the editor-in-chief spoke up... It seems that the deputy editor-in-chief didn't play a big role.
But... Director Liu! Because Director Liu doesn't like her, she doesn't like Director Liu either. She has always regarded him as a villain, but now, the villain has transformed into a decent elder. This impact is really great.
After Yun Duo digested the news, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Qian. I'll treat you to dinner later."
"Who cares about eating from you, you can help me find out what stocks Lin Zi is buying recently."
"… it is good."
In this way, the two completed the exchange of benefits. According to various evidences, Yun Duo now believes that she did not compete for Cheng Mei's place, and the moral shackles she forced on herself yesterday can finally be taken off.
She let out a long breath.
Then she couldn't hold back, and finally went to Director Liu.
"Director Liu, I heard that you insisted on keeping me when our group of freshmen were second-hand."
Director Liu was looking down at the document. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked over the upper frame of the reading glasses to look at the clouds.
Yun Duo continued, "Thank you for your trust and love for me. It was you who gave me this rare opportunity, but I didn't cherish it well and let you down. I'm very sorry."
Director Liu snorted, "It's good that you know."
"I will work hard in the future to become a good reporter."
Director Liu was a little impatient, "What the hell are you trying to say?"
"I'm just curious why you insist on keeping me." Yun Duo stopped being long-winded and said bluntly.
Director Liu put down the document and straightened up, looking up at the young girl in front of him. With a sullen face, the wrinkles on his face remained unmoved, he said, "Because you have qualities that some journalists should have, but more and more practitioners are losing."
Yun Duo was a little confused, "I don't quite understand, can you be more specific?"
"You don't need to understand now, you'll understand when something happens. Well, I know what else you want to ask. I'm sorry about Cheng Mei, but I won't tell you. Go and call Cheng Mei over. ."
In this way, Yun Duo was blasted out, and Cheng Mei entered Director Liu's office.
When Cheng Mei came out, her eyes were red, and Yun Duo didn't know what Director Liu said to her. She walked towards Yun Duo, and Yun Duo stood up and wanted to shake hands with Cheng Mei to make peace.
However, Cheng Mei looked at Lin Zi who was sitting on the chair, "Lin Zi, I have something to tell you."
Lin Zi and Cheng Mei went to the conference room together, and there happened to be no one there.
Cheng Mei looked at Lin Zi with complicated eyes, grievances, resentment, resentment... This made Lin Zi feel a little uncomfortable. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Mei smiled, with tears falling down her eyes, "You only have her in your eyes. For her, you came to me to be pretentious and lie to me."
"Don't talk like you're innocent."
"Is it because of her that you can do all the despicable things?"
Lin Zi sighed, lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, he said, "Look, you know what it's like to like someone. You still like me when I treat you like this? No way, I can't help myself, I can't help myself. Talk to myself. After a long time of persuasion, we turned around and ran over with one look. Cheng Mei, for the sake of both of us, you don't need to mention this."
Cheng Mei pushed him angrily, "Why are you like this!"
Lin Zi held the corner of the table and said, "So, let's talk about business. Have you considered resigning?"
"What do you mean? Drive me away? Are you afraid I will get in her way?"
"You don't get in the way of anyone here, only yourself. To be honest, you're smart, smart, and tough, and being a newspaper editor is a feat, if you will," he said, pulling out of his jacket pocket. He took out a business card and said, "This is my friend. He started a company by himself, and he did a good job. If you are interested, you can go to him. It's just that I introduced you to the past, and he may not give it to him at once. You have a great position, but it will definitely give you an adequate stage to develop."
Cheng Mei glanced at her business card and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Is this compensating me?"
"Cheng Mei, we are a kind of person, you should understand, um—" She blocked all the next words. Feeling the soft, hot touch on his lips, his eyes widened in shock.
Even being kissed by a little girl, Lin Zi didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed, so he pushed her away. Wiping his lips, he frowned, "Even if you do this, we can't be together."
Cheng Mei raised the corner of her mouth, "Whatever, I've already taken advantage of it anyway." She said, flicking the business card, "Thank you."
