He didn't get enough sleep for several days, the plane landed at [-] o'clock the night before, and it was already past midnight when he entered the house. The next day, thinking about the need for children to set an example, Tao Ran climbed to the company with dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as the mailbox is opened, the unread emails are directly discharged to the lower edge of the screen, and it is booming and in a trance.

The first letter, sent by Chang Zheng and all other partners and senior partners in theory to their direct bosses and immediate superiors in the entire China region, was sent to all the staff in the headquarters office, with just one line.

DaLaoBaniscomingnextMonday,givemesomeface,cleanyourdesksforgod'ssake.

This old British buddy probably hired a physical education teacher to teach Chinese.Chinese is not taught well, and it also harms people's native language level.Tao Ran recited givemesomeface several times in his mind, and felt that these words set the tone of magicism for the whole day.

The second letter is from Chang Zheng.Bai Manman sent a first draft of a ppt at [-] o'clock last night. The little girl was not sure about the wording, so she first sent it to Tao Ran for help.Tao Ran was shaking in the taxi when he received it, so he felt nauseous. He glanced over and saw that there were two consecutive lines beginning with Lead.If he missed something, Chang Zheng would definitely be able to make up for it by looking over it again.

Unexpectedly, when he opened it now, Chang Zheng changed the other Lead to Marshall.

Looking at the two crossed-out leads, as well as the steer and marshall next to him, Tao Ran slowly chewed out a bit of weird and secret charm from the modification of the turkey into a peacock.

Everyone who knows Steer and Marshall is actually looking forward to a chance to use it once. This kind of small, insignificant but unforgettable little dream can be brought into broad daylight. It's such an understatement. Land, realized.

It's like the old man in a lonely boat fishing in a cold river alone, when a fish that is not afraid of death suddenly appears in the river, and he bites the hook with sincerity and consonance.

The rivers, lakes and seas are vast and boundless, and this fish just knows that this moment, this situation, this scene is the most suitable to bite this hook.

As if being pinched by the neck and poured a pot of aged peach blossom wine, Tao Ran began to feel hot on his face.After thinking about it again and again, he felt that Chang Zheng might have deliberately teased him.Being able to play the art of office romance to this level, Chang Zheng and himself are really match.

Bai Huobao didn't know that his ppt had become a tool for the big boss to hook up with the little boss. He walked into the office with a sleepy expression, and suddenly found that the little boss had appeared on his seat.

Tao Ran's attention was still on these two verbs, and he didn't realize until she approached happily. He raised his eyes and nodded at her, saying "Morning".

"Hey boss, why is your face so red! And you're still smiling so much..."

Logically, I shouldn't have asked, but Tao Ran really felt that his face was hot, and his brain was not working well for a while: "So what?"

Bai Manman hesitated: "Can I say it? If I say it, will you be angry?"

"will not."

"Oh... okay, you just smiled expectantly."

"..."

"Boss? Are you angry? One day's plan lies in the morning. Don't be as knowledgeable as a person like me. Be happy."

"Bai Manman."

"what?"

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, come with me and Boss Chang, and have a look at the results of your work this week."

What was originally said was tomorrow morning, and the small-bellied manager Tao said a word, which changed this afternoon.Miss Bai's relaxed and happy morning was instantly frozen into icy slag.Hmph, the little boss, this uncertain and untrustworthy man, agreed not to get angry.

However, thinking about another big boss who is not only uncertain, but also can make her speechless with a single face, Bai Manman thinks it is easier to coax the little boss.The lesser of two evils is the only way to survive. It is really frightening to be in the consulting industry.

The reason why Ms. Bai, who is average in appearance and average in EQ, can do well among the newcomers in this period is firstly because she is taken care of by the bosses at two levels——Tao Ran is just doing her duty, Chang Zheng is just unwilling, and secondly, it is thanks to her Have self-knowledge.The demands of the bosses make her feel helpless most of the time, and they are unlikely to be satisfied anyway. Bai Manman gradually learns to do her best first, then admits that she is powerless, and finally disappears wisely.

As long as she did her best, Tao Ran never asked her to reform from scratch even if she stayed up all night.There were several times when Tao Ran replied to the emails she sent in the early morning. As time passed, she felt embarrassed and had to work harder.This has obviously formed a virtuous circle in which teaching and learning benefit each other. At first, Chang Zheng said that Tao Ran taught too carefully, but later he acquiesced.

It was Tao Ran who had just entered the workplace, and Bai Manman had accumulated virtue.

"Boss, I want to ask you a question."

It was the beginning again, and Tao Ran replied without raising his head: "Don't talk nonsense, just ask."

"In the activity of drawing lots to prepare gifts for colleagues at Christmas, I got Boss Chang. I don't know what he likes to do. It's too careless to just buy one, and I'm really embarrassed."

Tao Ran was noncommittal about her beautiful mood like a crow feeding back: "I think it's better for you not to be distracted. Christmas is only a week away from the end of the year, and the small black house meeting is at the end of the year. If someone reports you for bribery, then you This year it will be for nothing."

The little black room is the nightmare of all the assistant consultants all year round. Bai Huobao was so frightened that he couldn't hold back his smile, and looked at Tao Ran very obediently: "When is the little black room?"

"In the week at the end of December, people who should leave like this won't come after New Year's Day."

The poor girl was so nervous that her back straightened: "That, that, you... will you help me?"

Before the management held this meeting, it was really good for her to keep her as anxious as all the contemporaries.If she showed that she had the chance to win, wouldn't she be the best in the woods.So Tao Ran still didn't look at her eager little eyes, and casually gave a correct answer.

"That's not something you can ask."

Bai Manman became even more worried when he heard the words: "How can I buy gifts. How about I give you Boss Chang?"

Tao Ran scolded her for being heartless in his heart: "Not good."

"Why? You have such a good relationship, do you have the heart to let him receive the shit I prepared for Christmas?"

Tao Ran finally turned his head and took a look at her, his eyes were so cold that a polar bear could freeze to death: "What if I get a colleague I don't know well? Is it enough for me to spend a small amount of money at will? You asked me to prepare something for Chang Zheng. Li, are you causing trouble for me?"

Bai Manman rolled his eyes, and suddenly became wiser: "So, boss, you haven't seen who you have drawn yet, right? Right?"

Tao Ran didn't bother to nod, just acquiesced.

"Then let me open the envelope for you? What if the person you draw is not as good as the usual boss? Your just in case is my hope!"

Who knows what the little girl is thinking, it's rare that there are no new characters in the morning, so Tao Ran just plays with her.He opened the drawer, took out the envelope, tore open the seal himself, and pulled out the cardboard with the reindeer and Christmas tree printed on it.

"Who is Max?"

The muscles on Bai Manman's face froze immediately, and it took several seconds for him to regain his vitality. The final expression was still dumbfounding: "It's Wei Fangcheng from the professional consulting team."

Tao Ran vaguely felt that something was wrong, he let his thoughts fly for a while, and then fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

"Is that system of equations called Maxwell?"

"Yes..." Miss Bai took a few deep breaths with lingering fear, as if the four words Maxwell were enough to suffocate her: "It's too scary, the name is so good, and only the English name I gave myself when I was in the first grade of elementary school used to use it. It's a famous fight."

"Can the English name still be used?"

Bai Manman shrugged helplessly: "Yes, I had to change it later. I named myself Slow according to the Chinese homonym."

Tao Ran once again suspected that the way he opened today was wrong.

"Okay, Maxwell is yours. Chang Zheng's signature is for me."

Miss Bai was overjoyed: "Really?"

"If you say one more word, it will be invalidated immediately." Tao Ran picked up the notebook and took the coffee cup, and decided to leave this magical place of right and wrong: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, don't be late."

The company is so big, the door of the meeting room closest to Tao Ran's seat in the public area opened, and Chang Zheng was sitting in it again, thinking about something on the screen of his laptop.

Tao Ran had given up on himself for meeting him everywhere.

Chang Zheng raised his eyes and saw that he had come in, so he naturally pointed to the seat opposite him, motioning for him to sit down and work: "I just heard you mention Wei Fangcheng, did you just know his name is Max?"

"Well, I don't have time to care about his English name, I don't have time to hide from him."

Chang Zheng suddenly sighed lightly: "The last time I talked to him, I tried to make things as bad as possible. I really don't like his type, so I told him not to waste his efforts."

Indeed, people of this type, represented by Wei Fangcheng, are always disliked because they want to be liked too much.

Wei Fangcheng's entire social life is almost a performance art.Even if he just sat there alone, quietly eating and snacking, his gestures were still like a show.His attention is always floating in the air like a spider's thread, and it is possible to catch another individual at any time and anywhere, and then the big spider Wei Fangcheng himself will rush there at the speed of light, and use more and more viscous attention to cover the opponent's head and face Wrap tight.

Probably God is going to kill him. His personality, who loves to show off extremely and longs for external approval to repeatedly confirm his self-cognition, is especially easy to be hated by people like Chang Zheng who have already figured out who they are and what they want. .Just living has exhausted all the energy in the body, and life itself is time-pressed and the task is arduous. Who would want to coax such a giant baby and take care of its feelings all the time.

He likes Chang Zheng, and even follows him in a gesture that most people in the workplace can't do. In essence, he just likes Chang Zheng who can understand him.But in Chang Zheng's heart, it wasn't understanding, it was just pity.

How humble and pitiful it is to live for the eyes of others.But Wei Fangcheng wanted to show that strong and affectionate appearance again, and repeated it several times, making Chang Zheng even more afraid to avoid it.

Tao Ran didn't know much about the process and details, but his expression at this moment was clearly full of understanding.After being stared at by him for a while, Chang Zheng finally couldn't help but speak.

"He doesn't have to do anything, just look at me like he's here to collect debts. He wants to perform, and I should pay attention to it, or I will be condemned. This is too tiring. I don't want to do this charity. I want to help him understand quickly, and it’s better for everyone to stay away from me as soon as possible.”

This is the case with emotional encounters between adults.A slight difference is a thousand miles away.Tao Ran thought about it, but was still speechless.

The conference room quickly became silent amidst the crackling sounds of two people typing on the keyboard separately.It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time later, when Chang Zheng reached for coffee on the spur of the moment, while looking at Tao Ran, he tapped the bottom of the cup on the table, as if toasting him across a table.

What are you paying homage to, Boya Ziqi's friendship?Or in this turbulent world of mortals, two exceptionally sober people stand together and understand the desolation of human feelings in each other's silence?

Tao Ran accidentally picked up his own cup, and knocked lightly on the table.
