face-blind spring

Passing by the workstations of his subordinates with a water glass in his hand, Li Zhaohua turned his head and glanced at the corner where the young man was.They all had thick hair, and they were either concentrating on their work or fishing hard. He was a little envious of their state, or rather, a little bit jealous.

Li Zhaohua feels that he is old. Although there are still more than ten years before retirement, he is still middle-aged and in the golden period of his career, but it is difficult to find a job when he is over 35 years old, let alone him. My mentality is already old, and I no longer have the same hard work as I did when I was young.

He hid in the small office, closed the curtains, and started fishing. First, he opened the stock trading software and looked at the stock trend. Alas, he lost another ten thousand.He closed the stock software in annoyance, turned to open the news app, and was immediately dazed by a bunch of trending search pushes.Whenever this happens, he will find depressingly that he has not kept up with the times, but now, even fishing is so tiring for him.

Li Zhaohua squeezed the space between his eyebrows, fell back on the back of the chair, and sighed deeply.The office chair that has been with him for many years seems to have heard his inner voice, and lamented with him, it was a very strenuous "creak".

Maybe my life is like this. I have been working in the same company for ten years, and when I come home, I still face the same wife.If anything has changed, it's just that sometimes the subordinates change jobs. You can change to a new subordinate who is often not as useful as before, and the wife's face that has become more and more fierce.

Li Zhaohua thought so dejectedly and peacefully.

However, on this day, the sky seemed to draw a curtain on him and gave him a rare opportunity.If this opportunity is grasped well, it can bring him a turning point in his life.A manager who claimed to be surnamed Wang called him, saying that Liu Zilong, the successor of Hilong Group, invited him to have dinner with him and wanted to discuss important matters with him.

Having worked in the workplace for more than [-] years, Li Zhaohua certainly knew what kind of dinner this was, it was just a different form of interview.It's just that I didn't expect the president to interview him in person, which was a bit grand in the past.

Li Zhaohua attached great importance to this interview.Before going to the appointment, he ironed the black suit meticulously, polished the leather shoes brightly, and specially patted several layers of the fairy water used by his wife on his forehead to achieve the effect of oil control and moisturizing.Finally, use a comb to comb through the few remaining bangs one by one, and gather them neatly to one side.

Realizing that the fairy water was used a little too much, he skillfully opened the bottle cap, poured some tap water in, closed the bottle cap, shook it well, and put it away gently.

The place where I met Liu Zilong was a high-end Japanese restaurant. Mr. Liu reserved a private room for their meeting, and he had to slip off his shoes at the door before entering.Li Zhaohua placed the leather shoes that had been polished for half an hour neatly at the door, feeling a little pity.

Li Zhaohua deliberately went to the banquet 10 minutes earlier, but Liu Zilong arrived earlier than him and was already waiting for him on the tatami.

Liu Zilong looked him up and down unabashedly, as if with contempt and hostility.But Li Zhaohua is a mature middle-aged man after all, and he has learned to hold his breath in such a situation. Maybe this is just a stressful situation.He sat down calmly, smiled and introduced himself: "Mr. Liu, I am Li Zhaohua, the manager of Secco Medical Contract Department. I have more than 20 years of management experience. It is a pleasure to meet you." After finishing speaking, take the initiative He extended his hand to Liu Zilong.

Liu Zilong didn't shake hands with him, but put a menu into his hand: "Look at what you want to eat, order whatever you want."

Li Zhaohua looked through the menu and found that the dishes here are popular ones, but the prices are ridiculously high, and he didn't know how to order for a while, so he kicked the ball back: "I can do it, Mr. Liu, what do you want to eat?" something."

Liu Zilong raised his eyelids and glanced at him, without any nonsense, he called the waiter directly, ordered several dishes in a hurry, and he didn't even look at the prices.

I hope he can do the same when discussing salary, Li Zhaohua secretly thought.

Soon the dishes were served, the waiter stepped back and closed the sliding door.The private room was so quiet that the other party's swallowing sound could almost be heard.Li Zhaohua ate a little cautiously, for fear of making some indecent noises and lowering the impression of his future boss.

After eating two slices of sashimi, Liu Zilong cleared his throat: "Mr. Li, you may also be wondering why I suddenly asked you to meet. I think we might as well be more direct. I will speak directly when I have something to say. Look at it."

In fact, it wasn't that sudden, Li Zhaohua thought to himself, after all, you have already delivered food to my department, so I can probably guess what you're thinking.But he nodded respectfully: "Mr. Liu, tell me."

Liu Zilong said: "Look, if you give me Xiaoye, how much will it cost?"

"You mean Ye Lin?"

"Yes, what I told you was about Ye Lin."

Li Zhaohua suddenly realized, as if struck by lightning.That's right, although the takeaway was delivered to his department, the recipient was Ye Lin.It turned out that it wasn't me that Liu Zilong wanted to poach, but Xiaoye.

Li Zhaohua was stunned for a while, remembering that when he almost lost his job a few months ago, Robbin, the company's senior executive, called Xiaoye into the office alone for a secret meeting, probably talking about the replacement of the department head.If Xiaoye hadn't accepted the promotion for me at that time, I would have been laid off.

Xiaoye's work ability is obvious to all, but is it so good that two such big leaders are so eager to flock to it?Besides his usual work, does he have other shining points that I haven't discovered?Could it be that my level of thinking is not high enough, so I can't see it?

Li Zhaohua's thoughts became very complicated.

On the one hand, he was disappointed and aggrieved. He didn't understand how he was worse than Xiaoye, was it just because he was older?But along with the accumulation of age, there is also experience, his experience, his experience, which point is not better than Xiaoye?What's more, Xiaoye was brought out by him.Oh, he remembered, Xiaoye has a lawyer's license, but he doesn't, but the contract department doesn't need a lawyer's license at all.

On the other hand, he really cares about Xiaoye and thinks about his future.It is known that Mr. Liu of Hilong Group values ​​Xiaoye and wants to poach him, but Robbin of SECCO also values ​​Xiaoye and wants to promote him. Under such circumstances, is it really beneficial to rashly change jobs?

Balancing left and right, of course out of selfishness, Li Zhaohua said: "Mr. Liu, I think you probably asked me this question because you knew about my relationship with Xiaoye. The relationship between superiors and subordinates." I treated him like my own child.

He paused, then continued: "To be honest, your question just now was very straightforward, but I can understand it, and I think you are a very frank person... First of all, I want to express my gratitude to you, and I am honored that you You can value our Xiaoye..."

Liu Zilong frowned and interrupted him: "I like Xiaoye, do you feel honored?"

Li Zhaohua: "Of course I'm honored. You value Xiaoye because you think he's good at his job, right? I'm not bragging. When we first met, he was a blank slate. Later, everything he knew, he knew. I taught it by hand, if you appreciate his work, can I not feel honored?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhaohua sensitively noticed that Liu Zilong's complexion had changed and became more gloomy. Not only did he blush, but even a blue vein burst out at the base of his neck.

Liu Zilong smiled coldly, and his heart was a little terrified: "Are you sure, you really didn't mean to brag in front of me?"

Knowing that Mr. Liu understood what he meant, Li Zhaohua immediately took over the topic: "Let's be smart people don't talk dark words. Even if Xiaoye and I have such a good relationship, I can't make decisions for him. At most, I can give him some Suggestion, are you right? Since you came to me today, it means that Xiaoye has rejected your kindness, so you will save the country with a curve. Of course, I also know Xiaoye's personality. Emphasis on feelings, I guess he is also unwilling to leave my place and go to your place... I guess right?"

Liu Zilong reluctantly nodded.

Li Zhaohua immediately came to his senses: "The current situation is like this, I am sitting in front of you, and I will put forward my ideas without reservation——Since Xiaoye is not willing to come, do you think you can consider choosing me? I also said Yes, Xiaoye was brought out by me, I will do what he can do, and I can do what he can't do... The budget is negotiable, and my request must be within a reasonable range."

He finished speaking in one breath, and nervously twitched his fingers under the table, but still pretended to be confident, and looked at Liu Zilong, waiting for his answer.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zilong's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief: "You asked me to give up Xiaoye and find you instead? Just rely on you?"

It is said that the rich second generation are easy to be scumbags, this sex is too rude, Li Zhaohua scolded his mother silently in his heart.But on the surface he still maintained a smile and decided to give it another go.

"I claim that my work is no worse than Xiaoye's. Of course, I also respect your wishes. If you think it's inappropriate, you may wish to listen to my other ideas." Li Zhaohua said eloquently, "If you agree, Xiaoye and I can Come together. I understand his temper, if you look for him alone, he may not be willing to come, but if I bring everything with him, he may be willing."

Unexpectedly, this proposal aroused Liu Zilong's fury, he slapped the table and stood up: "You still want 3P?"

Li Zhaohua was terrified and almost felt that Liu Zilong wanted to kill him: "What does 3P mean? Does it mean people? There are 4 people in our department plus myself, which is 4P. I just think that there are not many companies with professional contract departments. If you want to build a team, you can consider poaching our entire department instead of just poaching one person.”

Liu Zilong's expression gradually softened, and he smiled inexplicably: "Mr. Li, I have a personal question to ask you. Do you know that Xiaoye has a date?"

Li Zhaohua: "No, I haven't heard of it. There is only one woman in our department, and she already has a child. She won't take maternity leave. Don't worry."

Liu Zilong held Li Zhaohua's hand: "I will take your opinion into consideration, and please ask Brother Li to go back and ask Xiaoye if he is willing to work in our company. I am willing to recruit your entire team."

Li Zhaohua said excitedly, "Okay, Mr. Liu."
