I waited until I heard the sound of the door closing before I stepped out of the cubicle. Listen to what you just said. It’s not hard for me to think of Li Jingyan’s days at Fangda Group.
That’s right, since ancient times, trees attract the wind. If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
Someone who can make Luo Xiangdong praise him without hesitation. Naturally, he is a top figure in the industry.
Thinking of Luo Xiangdong's disappointment in still not getting what he wanted from Li Jingyan. I stood in front of the sink in the bathroom and didn't go out immediately.
Turning on the faucet, I washed my hands and thought quickly. If I take advantage of the situation now and lure Li Jingyan to the Luo family. Isn't this taking advantage of him? After all, he sincerely wanted to help me. In today's utilitarian and impetuous society, people like Li Jingyan who have stayed abroad for a long time have escaped from being contaminated by some bad trends.
But then I thought about it, Luo was not a fire pit. I took Li Jingyan to the Luo family. Luo Xiangdong naturally took good care of him, and it was not in vain that he helped me in the first place.
Thinking this, I immediately shook my hand. Wipe the water off your hands with paper towels. Then he took out his cell phone and pulled out Li Jingyan's number.
To be honest, I never thought I would have the opportunity to contact Li Jingyan. Maybe everything is destined, otherwise there are 20 million people in Night City, how could we let the two of us meet
When I called the phone, Li Jingyan didn't answer at first, and I was a little nervous, because if he didn't answer, I might have to think of other ways.
Just as he was thinking about it, a man's slightly deep voice came from the phone. He said, "Miss Liang? Do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"
I only met Li Jingyan twice. Once in a nightclub, I regarded him as a "prodigal son" and avoided him; the second time was in the reception room of a travel agency. I still didn't know his identity, but Some people moved him because of a stranger's incident, and he was able to visit several times in a row.
In fact, we really don’t know each other well.
But for the sake of the next words, I had to bite the bullet and temporarily pretend that we have a very deep relationship, and lowered my voice: "Li Jingyan, please stop talking. Is there anyone around you?"
When Li Jingyan heard the sound, he paused obviously, and then said 'hmm'.
I said, "You go out now and come to the bathroom. I'll wait for you here."
Li Jingyan was also very happy and responded directly: "Okay."
I didn't hang up the phone, so I heard some noise in the background, as if many people were together. Someone asked Li Jingyan where he was going, and Li Jingyan said to answer the phone.
There was a man's joking voice inside saying: "Don't take the opportunity to answer the phone and run away, you haven't finished your drink yet."
Li Jingyan didn't say anything else. I took my phone and walked outside the bathroom.
This corridor is very long, running straight from left to right. I stood at the door of the bathroom and looked around. Not long after, Li Jingyan, dressed in professional attire, appeared from the end of the corridor on the left. I looked at his figure. Although he was still walking in a straight line, his steps were slightly frivolous.
I also have good eyesight, and I could see at a glance that Li Jingyan's face was red because he was drunk.
He stepped towards me, and I stepped forward slightly to meet him. He raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, you are also eating here?"
I said, "That's right. If by chance you don't know what kind of dire straits you are living now."
Hearing what I said, Li Jingyan looked visibly surprised. I looked around and said to him, "Come here, I have something important to tell you."
Li Jingyan followed me and ducked to the security door on the second floor. It was a blind corner and no one would come.
Li Jingyan asked me: "What's wrong? Seeing that you are so anxious, what happened?"
Li Jingyan thought I had something to ask him for help. I looked up at him and asked instead of answering: "How is your work at Fangda Group? Is it going well?"
Li Jingyan's reaction was a little slower than normal because he drank too much. After a two-second pause, he nodded with a faint smile: "It's not bad."
I asked again: "Do you still get along with your colleagues?"
This time, the smile on Li Jingyan's face really couldn't be held back. He looked at me and asked, "Did you hear something?"
I said, "I just heard your colleagues gossiping in the women's restroom, saying that your life at Fangda Group was particularly difficult."
Li Jingyan smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "I made you laugh."
I said, "I'm not the only friend you have in Night City. Why don't you tell me this kind of thing?"
Li Jingyan seemed a little surprised, as if he didn't expect me to say such a thing. And to be fair, I think this is half sincerity and half half benefit.
Looking up at Li Jingyan, I continued without waiting for his answer: "If I hadn't overheard those gossips today, I wouldn't have known you were so miserable at Fangda Group."
Li Jingyan was of Western style. He shrugged his shoulders and replied with a slight smile: "It's not as frustrating as you think."
I said: "Isn't it aggrieved to be tricked by someone with false information? Isn't it aggrieved to have a bunch of people exclude newcomers? Look at your face, you may have been drunk a lot. Isn't this aggrieved?" "
Li Jingyan was a little dodged by my scolding eyes. He put his hands casually in the pockets of his suit pants and found the steps for himself: "Maybe... they need some time to adapt to the new people."
I lifted him up the stairs without mercy, looked at him and said, "I tell you, abroad it is possible to earn a living and get promoted based on your ability, but at home, you must not only have the ability, but also be prepared to deal with villains at any time. I think you have been abroad for too long and cannot adapt to the unspoken rules of the domestic workplace. In China, those who get promotions and salary increases must be people with real ability, but not those with real ability. You will definitely get a promotion and a salary increase. The key is not about promotion but about how to work while you are still alive.”
Li Jingyan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that serious, right?"
I said: "You came to Night City from the United States, and you are not familiar with the place here. When you first came to Fangda, you were put in high regard by your boss, which naturally made your colleagues around you jealous. You are engaged in stock venture capital, What you are playing with is data. Do you know what it means if the people around you dare to hand you false data? If the company suffers heavy losses due to the final results you give, it is very likely that you will not be simply dismissed. Your career is over. So I’m really surprised, how can you still talk and laugh with those villains in such a working environment?”
Come to think of it, Li Jingyan's life in Fangda was not easy either. He knew whether it was warm or not like a fish drinking water. After I said a few words, he also had a look of helplessness on his face, sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this. "
I said: "You didn't expect that it's not your fault. Who asked you to receive Western education as a child? But those who cheat you behind your back will not think so. They will use your generosity and tolerance as a bargaining chip to get worse. I I don’t believe that people like you are so idiotic that they can’t tell who is good to you and who is bad to you, but seeing that you can still sit and eat and drink with those people, I guess you must want to use this method to ease the differences between you. contradiction."
Li Jingyan said: "They proposed the meal, saying they welcome new people to the department. I know they intend to exclude me, and I just want to give everyone a little time to let everyone know what kind of person I am."
Seeing that his eyes were blurred after drinking, I said, "But what's the result? Hongmen Banquet?"
Li Jingyan could only smile awkwardly and said: "I haven't drank domestic liquor for many years. They just set up a wine array for me and said that after drinking it, I would officially become their working partner."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It is said that everyone's life is all about balance. For example, whichever point is outstanding will definitely become a weakness that is inferior to others. Maybe Li Jingyan is so outstanding in his field of work that his emotional intelligence... I won't dismiss him as having low emotional intelligence. He is just a nice person.
I tried not to show a weird expression to Li Jingyan, but I still couldn't help but said to him: "Are you stupid? If they say we are friends after drinking, then I won't say anything. They say you After drinking, you are officially working partners, so what do you think you are now? You have been here for a while, what do they think of you? "
Li Jingyan sighed, and then said after two seconds: "I also feel that the working atmosphere is not good, but I have promised Fangda's boss a long time ago, and I have only been here for a few days. If I say I want to leave, I am afraid I will break the trust of others."
I keenly captured some information from Li Jingyan's words, and I asked tentatively: "You didn't sign a contract with Fangda?"
Li Jingyan didn't hide anything from me. He nodded and replied, "No, I owe Boss Fangda a favor, so he wanted me to return to China and join his company, so I agreed."
This news really makes me happy and excited. It's better if there is no contract. It's not like I can just leave whenever I want.
Suppressing the ecstasy in my heart, I said calmly: "You think you are sorry for leaving, Boss Fangda. But have you ever thought about it, when you are at Fangda one day, your colleagues in the same department Those people will definitely try their best to punish you, so that if you don't do good things, they won't focus on work. If one day the situation develops to the level that affects work and the company's interests, you will think it's easy. Boss Da, are you going to give up the entire department’s employees for you, or are you going to give up for them?”
Li Jingyan was obviously moved by my persuasion, and while he was wavering, I said another sentence: "You have fulfilled your original promise when you returned to China and refused all invitations from big companies to join Fangda directly. It's not that you want to leave now, it's that others force you to leave. Instead of waiting to embarrass Boss Fangda later, it's better for you to resign now when everyone is not too emotionally hurt. I don't think Boss Fangda is either. You are a man who makes things difficult for others, otherwise I would really be sorry for your love and righteousness.”
Li Jingyan was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Let me think about it."
I looked at him and said, "Remember, if you don't want to scheming with others, then go to a place where everyone is strong."
Li Jingyan didn't respond. I thought about it a lot and finally added: "To be honest, I'm telling you so much today because I can't bear to see others bullying my friends. Secondly, I also have selfish motives. I want you to start from Fonda leaves, can you help my husband?"
Li Jingyan looked at me, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, and then he said: "Luo Xiangdong?"
