After spending almost a day in the gym on Sunday, Tao Ran was extremely tired and fell asleep, but his sleep was restless.He inexplicably dreamed several times that it was already dawn and he was going to be late, but every time he woke up, there was an impenetrable chaos outside the window, and he couldn't tell what time it was.

When the alarm clock finally rang, he got up and fully opened the curtains with a gap, and only then did he understand the real reason why the dawn will not appear.The tall and short buildings in the smog have lost even their outlines, and the sunlight is pale, unable to touch the dust and the world.

This weather makes people not happy at all.Tao Ran took a shower, went downstairs to grab a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and when he arrived at the lobby, he saw Xu Yuan who was avoiding eye contact with him in the check-out line, and felt his mood go down again.

Before leaving, Xu Yuan received a call saying that the North District Office wanted him to attend the sales meeting on Monday afternoon.After all, he is a personnel from the China headquarters, and asking him to see the mental outlook of his colleagues in the North District, so that he can say a few words in front of the old monster when he goes back, is also the meaning of the question.

That being the case, the company's car will send him away first.Although Xu Yuan suggested that Chang Zheng and Tao Ran could be sent to the distributor first, but considering the time, it would be great if the driver could deliver him before noon, and in the end he set off alone.

Watching the car disappear from view, the remaining two were visibly relieved.Chang Zheng suddenly asked without thinking: "Is the matter between you and him settled?"

He doesn't know what happened, but it has deeply affected his mental health during the business trip.

Tao Ran reached out to stop the car: "I tried my best, I hope."

The dealer is quite rich, and has enclosed a piece of land on the outskirts of the city, and met the park as an office location.The road was blocked, and because of the weather, he didn't dare to step on the gas pedal. Tao Ran was disgusted by the stop-and-go rhythm, and felt that the breakfast he hadn't eaten was churning in his stomach.

"Why did you look so ugly in the morning, did you have a bad weekend?"

"No, a little motion sickness." Xu Yuan's reaction was under Chang Zheng's nose every day, and Tao Ran didn't bother to hide it: "I talked to him once at the weekend, and procrastination is not an option."

Chang Zheng laughed it off: "I get annoyed sometimes, and I also like to go to the gym and stay longer."

Tao Ran seized the opportunity unceremoniously: "What are you upset about? I saw you send someone out of the room yesterday."

"...Can I change the subject?"

Tao Ran was kind and generous, and took out his phone to take a look at it casually.Seeing this, his brows immediately frowned.

"It's not over yet, and the time needs to be changed again."

Chang Zheng was also aroused, and took it over and glanced at the wording: "You still dare to talk like that, just write that the situation has changed, and you don't even have an apology?"

"It doesn't matter whether we talk about it or not. Last Friday, Xu Yuan agreed to them, saying that they can change it to today. I wanted to discuss with you and go back. Is it really important to lose this family?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. They always have to show an attitude. It doesn't matter whether it's through a face-to-face meeting, a phone call, or even an email." Chang Zheng took out his mobile phone and dialed the number Tao Ran gave him: "But This has already happened, so it can’t be left alone.”

"Hi, I'm Chang Zheng."

"I know the time is not enough. I am calling to inform your company that we have decided to cancel the interview."

"I believe that your plans have changed, and I'm really sorry, but we are only a consulting agency that works according to the commission, and our projects also have schedules, so we can't always spend so much time on small things that change day by day."

As he talked, his mood gradually improved. Tao Ran saw that Chang Zheng changed his sitting posture and put his elbows on his knees, so he understood that he was in the play.

"Well, no need to apologize, I can understand. No matter what conflicts your company has with our clients, what we need is just two hours for a brief chat, and we don't intend to represent clients to discuss any cooperation with you The substantive issue of the matter. That is a matter for both of you."

Every sentence is not a reproach, and every sentence is worse than a reproach.

"We are going back now, yes, there is no need to set another time. I will truthfully tell the customer about your company's attitude and actions. We are a third-party company, and it is our right and obligation to be objective... No need, thank you Goodbye, your time."

Tao Ran sat in the front row and enjoyed a performance called "Anger". There was no need to buy a ticket, and it was very interesting.

The control and use of emotions is an important part of emotional intelligence. Chang Zheng's icy attitude disappeared as soon as he hung up the phone, and he turned his head very easily and said to Tao Ran: "How is it, is it enough?"

"It's not only enough, it's really wonderful." Tao Ran looked at him and smiled: "The old monster used the consulting company as a knife, which means you understand it vividly. I'm afraid he wanted to scold him for a long time, these dealers How many holes have been dug for him in the open and in the dark, today you have avenged him."

Chang Zheng unscrewed a bottle of mineral water to moisten his throat: "When Xu Yuan left early in the morning, I guessed that he still won't see anyone for a while."

"You think he already knows?"

"Whether he knows it or not, the meaning has already been laid out. Since he thinks this is not that important, he can go first, so what are we insisting on?"

After saying this, Tao Ran felt a little relieved.Sure enough, Xu Yuan has grown up, he can say what he can say, how much he can say, and he doesn't need to say anything at all, and now he has a good grasp of it.Due to his previous habit of getting along with each other, Tao Ran always refused to speculate on him too much.Now it seems that it is really wishful thinking.

As expected, he was scolded by Chang Zheng over there, and soon called Tao Ran, who was immediately dismissed.

Easy, easy.Needless to say a single extra word, it is luck to meet such a colleague, Chang Zheng did not hold back his eyes full of admiration.Tao Ran felt a little scared by him, so he had no choice but to say "Thank you".

Chang Zheng couldn't help laughing.Tao Ran found that he didn't dare to look into his eyes, so he moved away consciously.

After performing a full set of plays, he quickly replied to the message.

——The boss is angry, I can't answer the phone, sorry.

The other party is the senior assistant of the dealer's boss, and he is also a role in a private enterprise.Since you called, it means that you are still willing to cooperate with the end of the trick.Five minutes later, the call still had to be dialed back.

Before connecting, Tao Ran signaled Chang Zheng to keep quiet, and he nodded clearly in response.

"Hi, hello, I'm Tao Ran." Chang Zheng suppressed his voice while speaking, seeing that the corners of Chang Zheng's lips were already raised, Tao Ran asked himself if he could pick it up, he would be able to play, quickly turned sideways, and stared at the plastic inside the car door The line separated from the felt made himself calm down: "I'm sorry, I really couldn't connect it just now."

"The time is changed again and again, and we stayed for an extra weekend. He must be very angry, and I can't persuade him."

"There's really no way this time, so let's forget it. When we go back, you can bother to arrange a video conference with your boss. I won't let our regular boss show up... that's fine, or you can just talk to your boss Let’s go over all the problems, organize a document, and if there is anything that needs to be discussed, you and I can solve it privately.”

The other party was thankful, and a slightly excited voice came to Chang Zheng, like a waving white flag.

"Well, you're welcome, bye."

Before Tao Ran joined the company, when Chang Zheng was appointed as a partner, he actually spent time sorting out the existing resources in the company.The senior partners are divided into factions, and the current partners are much more full-fledged than him, so there are very few people who can be used by him.

In order to keep his own way, he never showed any opinion on some colleagues who admittedly have limited abilities, even if doing so means that he has to do too many things by himself, and the workload is even worse than that of himself as a project manager. The stage of competing for the first place in the hierarchy is still long.There is also someone like Yang Bojun who is likely to have an innocence, and he can't tell what the relationship is with his former master. The situation is pressing, so it's not easy to turn him away.It's better to be mediocre for a while than to go it alone.

He himself didn't realize that his heart about employing people at work was truly settled after hearing Tao Ran make this phone call at this moment.

He will never be unavailable again.No matter what, he will try his best to win over Tao Ran.We are lucky to have such help.

It's a pity that it may not be so easy to recognize the master of the famous sword.Chang Zheng is conceited that he is good at reading people, but he still hasn't understood what Tao Ran is looking for.Fortunately, he has a long time to come, and he still has a lot of opportunities to observe this person slowly.

The place where they asked the driver to turn around is still a long way from the high-speed rail station, and the congestion is immeasurable during this period, and it is even more distant.Thinking of this, Chang Zheng unconsciously closed his eyes.

Tao Ran was also tired, and kept silent while wearing earphones.Never looking for something to say, it was originally one of the things they were most satisfied with after a few weeks of cooperation.

What a precious quality timely silence is, time has given them the same gift, impartiality.

This day was probably really not suitable for traveling. The two of them had a hard rest under the brakes of the driver. Not long after, another phone call came in.This time it was Chang Zheng's phone.

"Hey, I'm looking for personnel. It's probably about the interview before leaving. Let's listen together?"

He wasn't afraid that something that he shouldn't be listening to would leak out. Tao Ran thought I couldn't be shameless, so he immediately took off his earphones and opened his eyes, pretending to be listening attentively.

Chang Zheng smiled and gave him a "pretentious" look, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Hello, Boss Chang. The candidate Bai Manman who participated in the interview before you and Manager Tao seemed dissatisfied with our starting salary, and has not signed back the letter of intent to hire. She got you out of the three votes that day. These two votes, so I want to ask for your opinion, should we fight for it, and how to fight for it?"

"How did she tell you that she was not satisfied with the salary?"

There was a sound of footsteps over there, and the personnel said in a low voice, "Excuse me, I'm looking for a meeting room", and then it sounded like it was muted.

Chang Zheng used this gap to ask Tao Ran: "What do you think of people? If you feel normal, you can pick people at the end of the next batch. When they come, you take them with you, and you decide for yourself."

Tao Ran replied lightly and quickly: "He's not bad, it's best if he can come. The later you come, the worse the quality of the noodles. I've done school recruitment for several years, and I know it well."

Chang Zheng nodded at him, and returned his attention to the call.

"Okay, I'm in the meeting room. Bai Manman didn't say it was a salary issue, but we gave her a thousand lower than the expected number written on her application form. I guess it's because of this. I also talked to her before. Several times, she had no concerns about our situation other than salary. Also, she said..."

"If you have any other information, you can tell as much as you can."

The personnel girl showed a little smile, and Tao Ran could clearly hear the inconceivable in her tone when it was heard from thousands of miles away: "She actually told me that she still has a chance to face the last round on Friday, and she plans to wait After the results are out there, we will compare and decide which one to take.”

Now Chang Zheng was also surprised: "Oh? She even told you this? And there is such a... sincere kid?"

There was also some sighing: "Yes, I don't know if it's sincerity or stupidity."

Chang Zheng thought for a while, then took a quick look at Tao Ran, and saw that his expression hadn't changed, so he began to explain: "That's it, you wait until after work on Thursday, call her and say we can wait for her to leave work on Friday at most, or Set it down, or forget it. She is young, and her psychological quality is not very good. If you put it this way, she may not have a good face on Friday."

The other party was silent for a moment, and seemed to sigh: "Then we, really wait until Friday to get off work?"

Meeting Chang Zheng's eyes, Tao Ran said that he thought so too.Stupid people do have stupid blessings, but there should be a limit.

"Yes, it's only when you get off work on Friday. If she really intends to compare us, then forget it, there is no shortage of her."

Miss Bai Manman was so confused, in a few words, she was calculated.
