The design director skipped work

In a home-cooked restaurant not far from the family area of ​​Ninth Courtyard, Jiang Heng and Wansuo sat opposite each other.

The dishes are ordered by Wansuo, stir-fried yellow beef, baby vegetables in soup, eggplant with minced meat, and old duck soup with bamboo shoots.

Without ordering wine, the two ordered a pot of jasmine.

"Old Zhao said he was not in good health and was in a hurry to go home to rest, so he stopped coming." Wan said.

Jiang Heng responded and poured tea for Wansuo.

"Try this old duck soup, it's very authentic and has the taste of my hometown." Wan said.

Jiang Heng stood up and wanted to serve Wan Suo a bowl first, but Wan Suo raised his hand to signal that he didn't need it: "Just try it yourself, why are you being so polite with me?"

Wansuo smiled again and asked, "Why doesn't Xiao Wu come?"

"He will stay in the institute in the future, afraid of seeing each other..." Jiang Heng paused suddenly when he said this, realizing that he seemed to have missed his plan to leave the job, but after a brief pause, he still answered the sentence Go on, "It's too embarrassing later."

"That's right." Wansuo nodded and looked up at him, "Then you've already made up your mind?"

Although Wansuo didn't say it explicitly, the meaning is obvious.

——Have you made up your mind to leave your job?

Jiang Heng was a little guilty, and he didn't feel bad for anyone who said this idea, because Wan has been supporting and training him in the past few years since he joined the company, which can be said to be a kindness to him.

But just because of this, Jiang Heng couldn't hide anything from Wansuo, so he nodded.

"Under this situation, it is indeed a more appropriate choice for you to resign, provided that you have a reliable next family." Wan said, "Have you considered where you will go in the future?"

"Mr. Wu is going to start a company. The license has already been taken. It is estimated to open this spring. I will help him." Jiang Heng answered honestly.

"The start-up company is very good, suitable for young people with ideas and drive." Wan Suo commented, and suddenly raised his eyes, "Wait a minute, Mr. Wu? That old Wu from the trading company?"

Seeing Wansuo's expression of "this guy actually poached me", Jiang Heng suddenly felt embarrassed, but he still nodded.

"I wrote down this account." Wan Suo said calmly, although he could tell from his expression that Wan Suo was joking, Jiang Heng still wiped his sweat.

"The main reason I came to you today is to say thank you." Jiang Heng said, filling up his own tea and toasting Wansuo, "The other thing is, I want to say sorry to you."

"Thank you, I'll keep it." Wansuo smiled deeply, "I'm sorry, there's no need for it. Young people, it's a good thing to fly to a place where the sea and the sky are vast."

Jiang Heng nodded, he felt that he should say something at this moment, but he couldn't, his throat was a little hot.

"I used to think that you, a Ph.D. graduate from X University, were quite talented when you came to the Ninth Academy. Although our place is stable, the salary is really average in the industry." Wan said, "But you should just look at it at that time. Is the Ninth High School stable?"

"I don't have any background. In the long run, the Ninth Academy is the least risky choice." Jiang Heng admitted.

"It's rare for young people to seek stability. But it's different now. Now you can go out and jump boldly, right?" Wansuo took a chopstick of fried pork into his bowl.

"!" Jiang Heng sat up straight in shock, looking at Wansuo in disbelief.

"Wu Zheng's family is very rich, isn't it?" Wan said, "The previous bidding was thanks to his family. I was a little curious later, why a company suddenly came to help, so I did a little research."

Jiang Heng really didn't know what to say now, this was Wu Zheng's business, he felt that what he said was inappropriate.

Wansuo didn't insist on him answering the question, and happily ate his fried pork, his expression suddenly froze after taking a bite: "Damn it, why is it ginger?"

Jiang Heng laughed out loud, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

In fact, not only wine can be intoxicating, but in a relaxed enough situation, hot soup and hot tea can also make people slightly intoxicated.

The old duck soup with bamboo shoots is milky and white, with an appetizing savory taste. The hot soup in winter will not only warm the stomach, but also make people enter a state of sincere relaxation from the body to the mind.

After drinking a few bowls of soup, Jiang Heng also relaxed. When he first entered this restaurant and saw Wansuo, his whole body was tense, because he didn't know how to tell Wansuo about his intention to go, but Thinking about it carefully, Wansuo should have guessed something from his reaction when he signed the annual leave that day.

Now that everything is relaxed, with a sense of warmth, Wan Suo, who is sitting opposite, is wearing a khaki sweater. His figure is not as fat as many middle-aged people who are careless, and he even looks quite capable. Jiang Heng feels that passing by Some people might think of them as father and son, and he wouldn't mind if that was the case.

For Jiang Heng, in the past three years since he came to the Publicity Office, Wansuo is like a teacher, a friend, and an elder to him.

If you are reluctant to give up, what you are most reluctant to do is that there are still thousands of colleagues in the convention and exhibition center.

"In the past two years, I have been very concerned about your personal problems. Of course, I am not afraid that you will not be found. I think you are so stressed at work, and you are still alone when you go home at night. It is really lonely. Someone should take care of you. .Seeing that you have never had a date, I wondered in my heart at the time, this kid probably likes boys, right? "

Wan Suo paused, his eyes full of smiles: "But I didn't expect it, it really is."

"...Actually, I didn't know what I liked at the time." Jiang Heng still struggled to explain, although he felt that he would not believe it.

"Boys or girls, in my opinion, are fine, as long as they don't cause trouble to you, and the two of you can live a good life." Wan said, "I didn't think much of Wu Zheng before. He is very capable, but His work attitude is weird, now that I know him a little better, I can understand him a little bit."

"He's actually a very nice person." Jiang Heng immediately began to whitewash his boyfriend, "Although he's a little sloppy, he's always been serious about the project, and the results are very good."

Wansuo nodded again and again, grinning until the corners of his mouth reached his ears: "Understood, I see you are in a hurry."

Jiang Heng also realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly shut up, looked at his nose, his nose, and his heart, and seriously ate soup and vegetables.

"I will leave the publicity office after the next year, but Lao Zhao is still there." Wan said, "It would be selfish to say that Wu Zheng was promoted. We can't do this kind of thing, but Wu Zheng himself should not have been promoted. For other things, in terms of work and life, I will ask Lao Zhao to take care of him more as an old friend."

Jiang Heng originally wanted to ask Wansuo about this, because he always felt worried about leaving Wu Zheng alone in the institute, but he didn't expect Wansuo to take the initiative to say so. Jiang Heng was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

-

After the holiday, Jiang Heng's new job was basically finalized. Wu Zheng said that the holiday was not good, and he didn't go to see the aurora or see the humpback whales, and he didn't go snorkeling. Heng promises that he will be compensated for a vacation in the future.

Jiang Heng and Mr. Wu made an appointment to join the company in March. To ensure sincerity, the two signed a provisional agreement, and then went to the office to resign.

Jiang Heng is such an outstanding talent, and he also has a high position in the publicity office, it is impossible to leave immediately, but Zhao Suo and Wan Suo of course agreed to his resignation application, and did not deliberately make things difficult for him.

However, considering that he still needs to report to the hospital office, and Jiang Heng's work will indeed need to be handed over for a period of time, the official resignation date is set in one month, which is after the end of the Spring Festival holiday.

When the specific resignation details were finalized, three days had passed since Jiang Heng submitted his resignation application to the firm. He walked out of the Human Resources Department feeling relaxed, and even a little bit reluctant to give up.

The time was six o'clock in the evening, of course Wu Zheng hadn't left yet, waiting for him in the big office, Jiang Heng sent Wu Zheng a WeChat message saying: It's done, I will leave in late February.

Wu Zheng replied with a [little raccoon touching head] expression. After the two lived together, the number of WeChat messages dropped sharply, which caused the little raccoon to fall out of favor. Suddenly, he was a little surprised to see it.

Then Jiang Heng asked Wu Zheng in a bit of embarrassment, when did he think it would be better for him to tell his colleagues in the department about his resignation plan.He hasn't told the people in the department about it yet, because thinking about it makes him feel reluctant, and it's hard to open his mouth.

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, years ago, when I was preparing for the party, I would like to mention it to everyone. Everyone was immersed in the joy of being able to rest for seven days, so they didn't care about the sad thing that the head of the department was about to leave.

Jiang Heng actually felt that it was not right, but he couldn't think of any better option for a while, so he replied, let's make it so for the time being, I will go to find you now.

Wu Zheng replied with a "hmm".

When he walked to the door of the big office, Jiang Heng already felt that something was wrong. Normally, the door of the office was always ajar when Wu Zheng was around, but this time the door was closed, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Naturally, The door was opened, and the big office was pitch black.

Jiang Heng was stunned.

A patch of fireflies suddenly lit up in the darkness, Jiang Heng was completely stunned, his eyes adapted to the darkness, and he finally realized that in front of him was a big cake filled with candles, like the brightest cake in the sky of stars.

Jiang Heng blinked hard, only to realize that the person pushing the cake cart was Su Jin.

At this moment, Jiang Heng's head was completely blank. He blankly followed Su Jin's smile, looked behind her, and saw Ding Ran, Wu Zheng, Xiaoliu, Ziqing, Xiaowei, Yingying, Xiaosong, and Sister Wang. ...

The colleagues in the entire department stood behind Su Jin and looked at Jiang Heng.

The most critical moment in Jiang Heng's life for more than 20 years should be now.

He stared blankly at the colleagues in front of him, unable to say anything, his mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't even form a complete thought.

It's already off work, and these colleagues haven't left, they are waiting here pushing the cake.

Jiang Heng looked at the cake, it was a big square cake, the outer circle was decorated with cream, and in the middle was a large photo printed out with edible sugar powder. In the group photo taken together, Jiang Heng was standing in the middle, holding a trophy, while Su Jin was holding a pennant on the side.

On the outside of the photo, there was a stick figure drawn with a thin mounting mouth. That was Liang Ziqing who hadn't joined the job last year.

"The director didn't tell us in advance when he was going to leave." Su Jin said with a smile, as if she was complaining, but also as if she was nostalgic, "Say it a few days earlier, so we can make some mental preparations."

Standing in the crowd, Wu Zheng was in a worried mood. He secretly told Su Jin and Ding Ran about Jiang Heng's resignation in the first few days, so all the members of the convention and exhibition department called everyone except Jiang Heng. group, planning how to give the director a small surprise.

He looked at Jiang Heng's expression nervously, afraid that Jiang Heng would get angry, after all, Jiang Heng never wanted to tell others about himself.

Jiang Heng kept a blank expression, staring at the cake for a full ten seconds, the tears of the candles had already started to melt, the candlelight outlined a semi-dark shadow on his face, the scene was very quiet.

Just when Wu Zheng was thinking nervously whether he should say something hot, Jiang Heng turned around and quickly wiped his eyes.
