After a tiring day, Tao Ran especially needed a good night's sleep.But people can't control their pets, the charming male and female cats crawled on his bed in the middle of the night, lying on his chest tightly, so he had a night of colorful dreams.

He dreamed of the youthful enthusiasm who had just graduated and joined the former company, and the memories of himself and Xu Yuan.

Seven years ago, he joined the company through the school recruitment channel and began to work under Wu Yueyin.That shrewd and powerful woman was at the rising stage of her career at that time, and she needed and valued the young and ambitious Tao Ran, so she taught and learned from each other, and the host and guest had a good time.

Four years ago, another year of school recruitment, Tao Ran personally recruited Xu Yuan, a student from the department recommended by his fellow graduate students, into the team.

"Senior, can I report to you, Manager Wu looks so fierce, I'm a little afraid of her."

"No. I can take you, but your boss is still her, not me."

"Senior, leave the quota for this project to me. As long as I can help you, I'm not afraid of getting tired. I can travel on business."

"It will definitely come down, at least two or three years, or even longer. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I'm not in the office often, and you don't have to think I'm an eyesore, so...can you, give me a chance. "

"What kind of opportunity, there is no opportunity, why do I have to think about the grass beside the nest."

The first half of the dream was all of these, intermittent and upside down.After three o'clock, Caesar probably remembered that it was time to inspect his territory, and moved his fat body out of mercy.Suddenly, Tao Ran was no longer short of oxygen, but woke up instead.

The curtains were only closed with a layer of tulle inside, and no light from the outside came in, so it was really still late at night.On the spacious two-meter bed, Tao Ran spent 10 minutes lying on his back, 10 minutes lying on his side, and rolling for another 10 minutes. He still had no sleepiness, and finally sat up in despair.

Caesar, who had climbed to the top of the closet and sat in a ball like a fat king, stared at his master with a pair of bright eyes, as if staring at a doomed mouse.

"Why look at me, you don't know how to catch mice."

Caesar refused to talk to him.

"Can you go out, don't run to the bed again in a while, it's really annoying if you can't sleep well, dead cat."

The man and the cat were in a stalemate for a while, Tao Ran knew he couldn't control the ancestor and was about to give up when Caesar suddenly shrank his body and frowned, then rushed out of the bedroom as if he had seen a ghost.

Surprised and surprised, I really couldn't sleep.

……

In all fairness, whether in a dream or in reality, Xu Yuan's appearance is very seductive.Only those who have the habit of exercising since childhood will have such a well-proportioned body shape, with slender limbs and a tall and straight figure. Even if they sit lazily and hunched over, their back is like a bow of strength.

Tao Ran never told Xu Yuan, but in fact many of his gestures remained in his heart for a long time.Tao Ran also missed him silently during the few years when he got together less often, and when he was alone, he brought up these cherished impressions and recalled them one by one.

Every time Xu Yuan came back from a business trip, he would always send text messages to him happily from the moment he got off the plane. Sometimes he didn’t receive a reply all the way, and he would send him very seriously. If you don’t reply, I will get angry.To tease him sometimes, Tao Ran would hold back, waiting to go home and open the door, seeing his tangled expression of not knowing whether to lose his temper or be happy.

Xu Yuan always minds that he earns less, much less than Tao Ran, so he is particularly obsessed with income other than salary.In the beginning, he habitually took money from his family to give Tao Ran gifts, but when he found that he couldn't get used to it, he started looking for part-time jobs to earn money.Every time he saved enough private money and finally bought something that Tao Ran occasionally mentioned, his eyes would always be like a child asking for candy, his eyes would light up with joy and joy.

Xu Yuan seems to be careless in official affairs, and he always doesn't understand the difference between being awkward and confrontational.After running for a long time, he began to feel tired. When he came back, he told Tao Ran that he wanted to be transferred, but he didn't get support. He turned around and went to Wu Yueyin to say the same thing.The boss didn't know about their private affairs, so he was worried for a while, and asked Tao Ran if he could manage Xu Yuan well.At that time, Xu Yuan, who realized that he had overdone it, stood at the door with Caesar in his arms for more than a month. Tao Ran can still remember it as soon as he closes his eyes.

Too many people and things flowed by, making up a vulgar movie.He couldn't tell whether he was asleep or awake, and the alarm clock rang three times in the morning and was pressed.Who made this bad movie, the plot is so old-fashioned, it should be dragged out and killed.

Seeing that he couldn't struggle out with his own perseverance, the wise and wise Julius Caesar swung his paw and slapped Tao Ran awake who had already missed the time to feed the cat.

His bloodshot eyes opened, and it was another new day.

After sleeping so badly, Tao Ran got up early in the morning with a splitting headache and couldn't find the north.When he was shaving, he got a scratch on his chin when he shook his hands. When he brushed his teeth, he poked his gums and stained the foam red. When he got out of the bathroom, he stumbled and knocked his forehead on the rigid relief on the sliding door. Finally, he was pouring fresh bread for Julius Caesar. When I was in a daze, I actually collapsed a small bag on the floor.

Caesar, who was squatting on the side salivating, was furious, pointed his butt at Tao Ran with his tail like a test tube brush, and ignored him until he went out.

Originally, Tao Ran was used to making breakfast for himself, but he looked at the angry Caesar, and then at his chin with the Band-Aid still oozing blood. He rubbed his painful head, got dressed and went out directly.For some reason, there was a vague smell of smoke at the door. Tao Ran's always keen nose played a role. Instinctively, he felt that the smell was very familiar.

Sure enough, there were cigarette butts scattered all over the place at the corner of the stairs, which was obviously the brand that Xu Yuan often smoked.This kind of imported cigarettes is not very easy to buy, and he often complained that he couldn't buy them when he flew back and forth, so Tao Ran often kept two for him for a long time.

This is strange.Xu Yuan, the proud young master Xu, has now learned to sit in front of other people's houses and smoke cigarettes in the middle of the night.

Tao Ran stood there for a while, then stepped on the unwillingness of the people scattered on the ground, and went downstairs without looking back.

This matter can't go on like this, next time he comes to the door, it's better to sit down and talk.The current project has already been decided that they will go to the former company to do it on-site, Tao Ran can't run away as soon as he sees him every time.

Now that one party has decided to look forward, the other party had better quickly recognize the situation. This is probably the last fairness that Tao Ran, as an ex-boyfriend, can offer Xu Yuan.

When his thoughts came to this point, for some reason, Tao Ran suddenly remembered a look that always made him feel a little meaningful.

It was Chang Zheng.

He knew that he couldn't see anything, but when this man turned around outside the gate of the former company yesterday, no matter how he thought about it, it was really weird.

The feelings between people are sometimes very subtle, and maybe under the well-dressed human skin, many people still maintain a vigilant animal nature.Whenever Chang Zheng approached, Tao Ran couldn't help being on guard, almost as inevitable as the connection between the wind blowing and the grass moving.

That afternoon, under such pressure, Tao Ran and Chang Zheng co-starred again.

What the old monster means is that this organizational reform plan must be based on employee appeals and satisfaction surveys from a third-party perspective.This is what it means to use the consulting party as a weapon and ask them to interview employees.

"Mr. Xu, nice to meet you."

This was already the fifth person, Chang Zheng didn't feel tired at all, and smiled as usual when he stood up.

Tao Ran was happy to take a step back and let him lead the awkward communication for half an hour.No matter what I think of him, Chang Zheng's ability is unquestionable and worthy of trust.

After all, Xu Yuan is no longer the reckless young man he was when he just graduated. Now that he has entered the meeting room and sat down, he can already respond decently with "nice to meet you".

Suddenly, Tao Ran felt a strange sense of isolation.In the past, he was too close, and the authorities were confused, but now he finally got an objective perspective. It turns out that Xu Yuan has changed so much.

Back then in this conference room, the last round of interviews for school recruitment, Xu Yuan prepared a naive and clumsy presentation, but he had an excellent attitude and was motivated, so he convinced Wu Yueyin.At that time, I stumbled and my face was flushed, as if I was still in front of my eyes.

It turned out that it had been so long.Even Xu Yuan has become a well-behaved adult, time flies.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of the current organizational structure of the company's personnel department?"

"We don't have a shared service center, which is my biggest disadvantage at the moment. At our current scale, there is indeed a real need for a shared service center to be responsible for recruitment and compensation."

In the past few months, Xu Yuan has betrayed his mentor in the workplace, helped the opponent overtly and secretly, and followed their wonderful whole process of victory.At this moment, seeing that the momentum of this faction is about to be suppressed by the top, in a blink of an eye, they express such opinions in support of change.As sophisticated as Tao Ran, he couldn't help but applaud him in his heart.

Really grown up, three days away.

Chang Zheng picked up a pen, marked down two strokes symbolically, and then asked, "Then, would you like to give us some advice on the staffing of the shared service center?"

"It's inconvenient for me to express my opinion on the company's core personnel arrangements. It's just that at the executive level, it's best to have employees who are directly called by the company's existing personnel system. In this way, the smooth handover of work and the establishment of new processes, I think helpful."

Oh, this is to say that he himself is interested in joining this new structure.To put it bluntly, the shared service center will take over most of the routine affairs in the future, and the ability of the remaining elderly people will naturally rise. This kind of mediocrity is really dangerous.

After asking several times, it was the first one who could speak so clearly.Chang Zheng turned his head and looked at Tao Ran, asking him what he meant.

Hiding all the time was not an option, so Tao Ran had no choice but to speak up.

"Mr. Xu's attitude is very clear, so that everyone's work efficiency will be high. We are very grateful for your cooperation."

Sitting in front of Tao Ran without looking at him or speaking, seemed to be the limit of Xu Yuan's ability.As soon as he heard this familiar voice, his expression changed instantly.

Tao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had infinite hopes for him to keep everything normal.
