Urban Life: Our Youth

"I'm going out for a drink tonight, why don't you come and have a drink too." After the meeting, I felt very depressed and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Chuying.

"Where?" she replied to me.

"old place."

"understood."

night.

Lee's BBQ.

Zhang Chuying and I came to this barbecue restaurant. I don’t know why, but the business of this store is very good. Every time we come, it is always full.

I ordered some of her favorite squid, lamb chops, pork skewers, prawns, mushrooms, etc. We each opened a bottle of beer and chatted while drinking.

"I've told you many times that barbecue is junk food and you shouldn't eat too much, but you always don't listen." Zhang Chuying said.

"Be careful next time." I said listlessly.

"What's wrong? Your complexion seems a little off." She looked at me and said.

"It's nothing." I didn't want to say it at first.

"It's nothing. Why do you come here to drink? You're not usually like this."

After her repeated questioning, I told her about the competition for assistant manager and the work meal subsidy.

"So you squandered all your 5000 yuan bonus?" she asked me.

"Yes." I nodded.

"You are really good. However, when you got the bonus this time, you didn't buy me anything." She said.

"I——." I felt a little embarrassed by what she said.

"If you ask me, that Sun Hao is indeed much better than you." She said.

"Do you think so too?"

"Yes, first of all, this is called 'If you are thick-skinned, you will eat a piece of meat, but if you are thin-skinned, you will not be able to eat it.' It stands to reason that the bonus is earned by you with hard work. There is no need for you to invite everyone to dinner. You said please Eating dumplings. When people say they want a big meal, you agree. This is called pretending to be fat. Do you think you borrowed money from your credit card? Don’t you know? Secondly, the lunch subsidy is 15 yuan per person. , why do you treat people to dinner every morning? Two meals a day is fine, why treat them every day? Once people get used to it, they will forget to be grateful and think that it is a treat. Besides, lunch is 15 yuan, so, If you order according to this standard, why do you ask others to order by themselves every time, and why do you have to overspend every time?"

"I think we are colleagues and they are too embarrassed to say no, so they just order whatever they want."

"Excuse me? This is your problem, no one else is to blame," Zhang Chuying said, "Let's talk about the competition. It is reasonable for you to fail in the competition."

"How do you say this?" When I heard this, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"It would be a bit exaggerated to say that the workplace is like a battlefield. However, first of all, you have to understand that there is a difference between colleagues and comrades-in-arms, classmates, and friends. Colleagues often have some interest relationships, and everyone works together. , all for life, there is cooperation and competition. Obviously, Sun Hao understands this truth, but you do not; secondly, you said that he said bad things about you in front of Manager Zhang. In fact, saying it or not saying it is the same. Yes, Manager Zhang has been with you for more than a day or two. She already knows the temperament and temperament of each of you, and this does not affect her judgment. Thirdly, if the leader praises your good sales performance in person, it does not mean that, If he will hire you, they have to consider it comprehensively. There are many factors involved; finally, Sun Hao praised you in public in his inaugural speech. No matter what others think, if they can do this, it is worth it. Praise, you may say he is hypocritical. He clearly knows that you have participated in the competition, but he said he did not know, which shows that he has studied the black science thoroughly, is very experienced, and is a leader. Compared with others, you are Doesn't it look a little immature?" Zhang Chuying said.

"So, according to you, I'm much worse than him?" I felt a little unconvinced.

"It's not that you're worse than him, but you have to reflect on yourself," Zhang Chuying said, "Some things happened in the sales department recently, and I'm also very annoyed."

"What happened to the sales department?" I asked.
