I'm really sorry for my low EQ.

Wu Yuan sent Xu Yang to the airport that night.

Before passing the security check, Xu Yang hugged him hard, and reluctantly left him: "Primary school brother, go back quickly."

Wu Yuan: "Yes."

Xu Yang looked at his motionless feet, and laughed: "I didn't have a good rest last night, go back to sleep early today."

Why didn't you have a good rest? The two of them knew each other well. When their eyes met, they couldn't help showing a hesitant smile on their faces. Xu Yang let out a "ah" with regret on his face: "It would be great if I didn't fall asleep the night before yesterday." .”

Wu Yuan was thinking about his lack of sleep, raised his head and said, "Senior, you should pay attention to rest after you go back."

Xu Yang pinched his face: "Don't worry, I have a score."

Wu Yuan nodded, and said softly, "...Then I'm leaving."

It was only at this moment that the suction force between the clasped hands was truly reflected. Wu Yuan felt as if double-sided tape was stuck on the palms of Xu Yang and Wu Yuan. Once they were held together, they were inseparable.

Xu Yang looked at the hands of the two and said with a smile, "I can't leave this way."

No one wanted to let go first, and Wu Yuan rarely showed a troubled expression on his face: "...then count."

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Okay."

Wu Yuan: "Count to three."

Xu Yang: "Yes."

"three two--"

Before the word "one" could be said, Wu Yuan suddenly held Xu Yang's hand tightly and lowered his head.

He actually didn't want the senior to go.

He didn't know that he was so self-willed at times, but as long as Xu Yang was around, he felt that he could overcome everything, the matter of Director Qin, the matter of the sales department in the upper city, when Xu Yang came, everything suddenly had a direction...

"Primary school brother." The growing grip from the five fingers seemed to be gripping directly on the heart, Xu Yang wanted to step forward to comfort him, but Wu Yuan suddenly raised his head and said: "Senior, I'll go find you next time .”

Xu Yang was startled, and then with a snort, he directly raised his hand to pinch Wu Yuan's face, and gently pulled it to both sides.

Wu Yuan, who was forced to put on a "smiling" expression: "??"

Xu Yang smiled and said: "Don't be stupid, your side is on standby at any time, I just ask someone to look after it for me, I have more time than you."

Wu Yuan: "But it's too hard for the senior to run around."

Xu Yang said softly: "Looking at you, I don't think it's hard work."

Wu Yuan took two steps forward and took the initiative to hug him.

Xu Yang bent over and hugged his back, and said with a smile, "Look, it's too late to be happy if you can still get this kind of treatment."

Wu Yuan didn't speak, and hugged him even tighter. Xu Yang was talking and laughing on the surface, but his heart was already soaked in a honey pot. Ever since they got together, Wu Yuan had never acted like a baby with him, it was all because of him. On the one hand, clinging to him in all kinds of ways, first holding his hand tightly like before, then rushing to hug him, and now being stuffy in his arms and not talking...all things that I never thought about before.

Feeling the strength from his body, Xu Yang felt so beautiful in his heart that he couldn't take care of himself. When parting, he felt both bitter and sweet. He hugged Wu Yuan and messed up his short hair, and smoothed it for him again. He went back and forth several times before he was willing to let go. .

Xu Yang didn't get on the plane until the loudspeaker called twice in a row, which was more dangerous than Wu Yuan's last time.

Wu Yuan sent him away and returned to the apartment alone.When the door was opened, the room was still full of Xu Yang's breath, and there were still traces of him sitting on the bed sheets. Wu Yuan remembered that before Xu Yang left, he took the eau de toilette he often used, and walked into the room as if it was fun. After spraying it, it is still lingering in the house. It is as fresh as a ray of sunlight falling among the grass leaves, the smell of water slowly transpiring.

Wu Yuan took a deep breath, then proceeded step by step, packing up his things and preparing the materials for tomorrow's work. Xu Yang's plane landed in Xincheng an hour later, and he didn't go to bed until he received his safety message.

A new week begins with a busy schedule.

On Monday, Qin Jing still didn't come to work.

Everyone in the sales department laughed and gossiped with Wu Yuan about General Manager Xu, and then continued to idle around in the office. The strange thing was that Wu Yuan was uncharacteristically this time and didn't say anything in front of them. Bai Lulu suddenly ignored everything when he saw him , I was overjoyed immediately, thinking that after a while, Manager Wu would be assimilated by them.

Only Fang Jiaming, who had a slightly more sensitive sense of smell than others, could feel the smell of the wind and rain.

The next day, Wu Yuan, like last week, called everyone into the meeting room for a regular meeting early in the morning.

The crowd didn't realize anything was wrong at all. Wu Yuan ignored them the day before, and many people became more courageous, not to mention taking the regular meeting seriously. The coffee plan that failed last time was put on the charter again, and a group of people chattered around Discussing where to eat at the elevator entrance, Jiang Han chased after him, "Wait, where are you going?"

Liu Weiyi was not polite to him, and pointed at him directly: "Tell you, Jiang Han, just turn your elbows out, don't worry about our affairs!"

"That's right, we gave Manager Wu more face last time, but didn't we still discuss it like that?"

"Let's go, don't talk to him." Liu Weiyi pushed the large team into the elevator.

Jiang Han stomped his feet on the spot. He clearly saw the eyes of the people behind him hesitated just now, so he didn't really want to drink coffee. He was going to stop them, but when Liu Wei saw that he was coming, he immediately closed the door, and the elevator door closed slowly. As soon as Liu Wei made a face at him, Jiang Han was so angry that he was about to curse, when suddenly there was a loud "bang" in his ear, which almost shook his soul out.

The corners of Liu Weiyi's upturned mouth froze, turning into a stunned expression, Jiang Han also opened his mouth wide, looked at the white hand stuck on the elevator door, slowly raised his head, and met Wu Yuan who was always handsome, but at this moment he was very handsome. The cold profile.

Everyone present gasped.

"Go back to the meeting."

Wu Yuanyan said concisely.

"B-why listen to you?" Liu Weiyi stuttered in fright, then thought about having Director Qin backing him up, and stiffened again, "Isn't the meeting just to discuss the last time the shop was rented out? With you and Can It’s all right, oh yes, and this little pug—” He pointed at Jiang Han provocatively.

"You say it again?!" Jiang Han is usually a girl, but when it comes to the critical moment, he has a bloody energy, his eyes are red, and he rushes over to argue with Liu Weiyi, but Wu Yuan pulls him back. He also gently pulled Jiang Han behind him, glanced coolly into the elevator, and said in the same tone as before: "For those who don't attend the meeting, I will directly deduct half a month's salary."

Everyone was stunned, Wu Yuan turned around, and the straight shoulder line of the black suit was swept by the incandescent light to reveal a cold pearly light, "There are still 10 minutes, you choose."

His back disappeared into the corridor, and Jiang Han hurriedly followed. Before leaving, he cocked his lips triumphantly at the dumbfounded one in the elevator. As soon as Liu Wei came to his senses, his head was buzzing, and he turned to the crowd and said, "You, did you hear that? How dare you detain us—"

Before he finished speaking, his body was pushed forward by the crowd behind him and he fell two steps forward. No one listened to him anymore. We usually don’t sell houses and live purely on basic salary and company benefits. Order——

"Hurry up, Liu Weiyi, you don't want a salary!" The crowd walked forward, not forgetting to turn their heads to remind him.

"..." As soon as Liu Wei breathed out, he almost suffocated himself, and followed reluctantly. Before leaving, he kicked the elevator door hard. Manager Wu will let you pay for it!"

Liu Weiyi: "..."

The conference room was once again full.

Song Can raised her eyebrows, surprised that people would be so neat. In front of the meeting room, Wu Yuan looked at the documents in his hand, and raised his eyes after a while. The sight that swept down at that moment was as cold as water. Song Can was taken aback, feeling unavoidable. The ground trembled, and Erlang's legs that were raised up slowly lowered down.

Like him, those disobedient employees were all sitting upright at the moment, only Liu Weiyi knocked on the table impatiently, but the rhythm of knocking was chaotic, especially when Wu Yuan raised his head, he clenched into a ball nervously, as if sweating like.

Manager Wu today is not the same as usual.

Everyone finally realized this belatedly.

The paper gently landed on the table, and the hearts of the people raised their hearts, but Wu Yuan didn't give them time to prepare, so he said in this stagnant atmosphere: "Then let me assign everyone's tasks for this week."

"Ah?" Bai Lulu was stunned for a moment, "Manager Wu, what do you mean by the task?"

Wu Yuan didn't raise his head and said: "Bai Lulu, I'm in charge of doing research for next month's real estate exhibition, and report it to me on Friday."

Bai Lulu sat up: "Wait, wait a minute—"

Wu Yuan: "Jiang Han, together with Bai Lulu, did research on the fair, and made a table with the information of the real estate companies participating in the fair, and compared it with the new project of Lvhai. Similarly, I will hand it over to me this Friday."

Jiang Han was extremely excited, Xing Xingyan said: "Yes!"

Bai Lulu was dumbfounded, "Wait a minute, Manager Wu, I've never heard of—"

"Fang Jiaming," Wu Yuan interrupted her, "You are in charge of contacting all old customers and investigating their purchase intentions. You are a senior, and I will give you a few team members to work with you. You will allocate their workload -"

The corner of Fang Jiaming's mouth twitched. Hearing Wu Yuan read the names of several team members, the people who were read breathed a sigh of relief and blinked desperately at Fang Jiaming. Fang Jiaming gave them a reassuring look cunningly, but Wu Yuan seemed to understand As if reading minds, he looked at them and said indifferently: "Report the work progress to me before leaving work every day. If you can't finish it on time, the team leader will take full responsibility."

Fang Jiaming raised his head abruptly, and looked at several team members. The latter were all panicked and looked at him stupidly. Fang Jiaming gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, they can't finish, and I'm the one who was punished?"

"That's right," Wu Yuan lowered his eyes, and was about to call the next person's name when he suddenly heard a sneer.

Liu Wei put his arm around and said "huh": "Manager Wu, isn't this too ridiculous?"

Wu Yuan raised his eyes, and Liu Weiyi saw his palms sweating. He raised his neck and said stiffly, "Did you get the approval of Director Qin for doing these things? Our sales department in the upper city has never done this before. Assigning tasks, when we Is it a child?"

One sentence aroused dissatisfaction among the people present. Many people were already baffled by Wu Yuan's actions. Faint voices of discussion and incomprehension boiled over. When one person opened his mouth, the others were afraid of being excluded, so they all followed suit. Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat, and he sweated for Wu Yuan. Although Wu Yuan's approach was correct, it was a great threat to the sales department in the upper city, which had always been leisurely. He looked up anxiously, but saw Wu Yuan press Standing on the table, he looked over calmly with indifferent eyebrows and eyes.

"Those who don't want to do it can leave now."

Jiang Han: "!"

The room was silent, Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, "You, what do you mean by leaving?"

Wu Yuan: "From today onwards, I will no longer be an employee of Lvhai."

Liu Wei's face turned blue, and he stood up abruptly: "Everyone here has signed an employee contract! What right do you have to fire us?"

Wu Yuan was cold-hearted, and said word by word: "Since I said it, it means I have this right."

Liu Weiyi opened his eyes in disbelief, and Wu Yuan said decisively: "This is the company, not a place for you to relax and relax. The company's employee benefits are not for supporting idlers. From today onwards, only those who have completed their work can get benefits. If you don’t want to, then please leave now, and I will recruit new people.”

How could it be possible to resign?How can other companies be as comfortable as here?Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other's reactions. As soon as Liu Wei was silenced, everyone went to see Fang Jiaming, their senior, and secretly prayed that he would say something, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a cold voice was thrown on the table: "Don't look at others."

Everyone was taken aback, Wu Yuan clenched his fists tightly, he had already noticed and realized that these people in front of him were like a group of spoiled children who completely lost the ability to respond when threats came, and could only subconsciously They looked at each other and waited for someone to come to the rescue.

"You have already entered the society, and you should be responsible for your own life. Do you still have to look at other people's reactions before making every decision in the future?"

One sentence hit the psychological state of many people, all of them blushed, and wanted to refute in anger, but Wu Yuan didn't give them this chance, he was uncharacteristically and sternly said like never before: "Why do you think work is a shameful thing?" Why are people who work hard are regarded as different? Do you really hate this job, or do you cater to others because everyone has nothing to do to avoid being excluded?"

As he spoke, he looked at the person who was secretly reading the information before, the latter lowered his head instantly, his face was hot, but Wu Yuan's voice echoed in his head for a long time: "Others will not be responsible for your life, you live a good life It has nothing to do with them. The only person in this world who can be responsible for your life is yourself. So don't be afraid of hard work, and don't choose blind comfort at the best age. Only when people can endure hardships can they grow and understand Look at family, company, and society as a whole with gratitude."

Taking a deep breath, Wu Yuan's calm brows concealed Feng Rui in the blink of an eye: "There are many injustices in this society, and there are many people who get something for nothing, but the truth still exists under the same system, that is, as long as you pay, you will be rewarded." People who get rewards and get something for nothing get comfort, but lose growth, even if they live comfortably now, they will be eliminated by this society one day in the future."

With a "click", the pen spinning in Bai Lulu's hand fell to the table.

Everyone raised their heads in bewilderment, only to find that bloodshot eyes were creeping up in Wu Yuan's black and white pupils, and blue veins appeared on the back of his transparently white hands. At that moment, they suddenly became dazed—they could see it. , Wu Yuan is worrying for them, no one has ever been so worried about them before—the parents only want them to have no worries about food and clothing, Director Qin will only protect them unconditionally, only Wu Yuan is really thinking about their future——

What good does he do?Why would he do this for them?

Everyone was puzzled.

Manager Wu didn't know how to adapt, didn't understand humor, and tried countless times to destroy the harmonious atmosphere between them. They couldn't see him through, and never tried to understand him, and even secretly laughed at him behind his back. Until that moment just now, It was like a lightning strike that split the gap between them—a long crack. They looked in against the cold air blowing on their faces, trembling physically and mentally.

They see a person's shining, unwavering character.

At that moment, their eyes changed.

Wu Yuan didn't notice this, he just stood there firmly, and continued: "The reason why you don't feel a sense of crisis now is because Director Qin is here, but have you ever thought about it, if one day Director Qin doesn't work here Now, who else will protect you like him?"

Liu Wei's whole heart was pounding, he didn't dare to look directly at Wu Yuan, he lowered his head and said stiffly: "How could Director Qin not be here, he said he would always—"

"Dong dong."

Two knocks on the door suddenly interrupted Liu Weiyi's words. Everyone was taken aback for a moment, thinking that they were employees from other departments upstairs, but they saw a strange middle-aged woman slowly pushing the door open. Everyone was in a meeting, and their faces were apologetic: "Sorry to bother you, I yelled outside for a long time but no one answered, so I came in—"

Wu Yuan went up to meet him: "It's okay, what's the matter with you?"

The woman came to the sales department several times in private, but this was the first time she saw him, "Young man, who are you?"

Wu Yuan: "I am Wu Yuan, the sales manager."

"Oh, so it's the manager." The woman happily took his hand and said with a smile: "The manager should be very familiar with our A Jing, hello, hello, my name is Wang Lin, and I'm Qin Jing's mother , Qin Jing hasn’t been home for a long time, I’ll come and see him, do you know where he went?”

Liu Weiyi was stunned: "Director Qin's..."

Wu Yuan shook his head: "Director Qin is not here now, please sit over there first, and I will give him a call."

When Wang Lin heard this, she immediately had a sad face: "Aren't you here again? Oh, where did this kid go? It's useless to call him. I've already called him. Alas, he doesn't come back home, he doesn't come to work, and he doesn't want to go to work. Just don't go, I told him to resign early to help his father..."

She was nagging and talking to herself, and everyone listened to her, as if struck by lightning.

Resign?Director Qin?

Liu Wei turned pale, and was the first to shout out: "Director Qin is going to resign?! ​​Auntie, is it true?"

He called Wang Lin his aunt, but Wang Lin didn't even look at him. She was angry with the young people in the house. If it wasn't for them, Ah Jing would have gone back to take care of the family company.The whole room was full, so she had a good impression of Song Can and Wu Yuan, whom she met for the first time, especially Wu Yuan. When she came in just now, she heard the child's lecture, and she never expected that there was another kid in this group of foolish boys. Being sensible, she couldn't help secretly cheering in her heart. Although she was Qin Jing's mother, she had to admit that Ah Jing was too fond of these children, and someone should have woken them up long ago.

When Liu Wei saw that Wang Lin was ignoring him, his face was a little embarrassing, but at the moment he didn't care about anything else, his mind was buzzing with the news that Director Qin was leaving, combined with what Wu Yuan just said Only then did they finally realize that Manager Wu was not trying to scare them on purpose. If Director Qin really left the sales department, it would be a dream for them to continue to live a comfortable life.

"Manager Wu, Director Qin - will he really leave?"

After Wang Lin left, Liu Weiyi took the initiative to walk up to Wu Yuan for the first time, and asked anxiously, he has been in the sales department for a year, and he has learned nothing except eating, drinking and playing, and he dare not think about the future at all.

"Whether Director Qin leaves or not, he can't stay with you all your life."

Wu Yuan's eyes were not as sharp as before. Liu Wei thought that he might ignore him when he asked the question. About the same age, he might even be older than Wu Yuan.

He suddenly felt ashamed.

As soon as they heard that Director Qin might leave, many realistic factors that had never been considered came to the fore. Only then did everyone in the sales department realize that they had been living in the utopia that Director Qin had built for them. Without Director Qin, they would have nothing to do. no.

Director Qin is so kind to them, so good that they think that everything in life is at their fingertips, but they can't blame Director Qin. In the position of gold medal sales, they didn't even distribute a few leaflets.

******

Two weeks later, Wu Yuan found Qin Jing's apartment with the address.

In an old-fashioned old building, clothes hung from wires overhead, Wu Yuan stopped in front of one of the units, and walked to the door of Qin Jing's house along the half-lit stairs.

Ding dong.

"Who?"

Qin Jing looked out along the cat's eyes, and a pair of enlarged, pitch-black eyes came into view.

Qin Jing: "..."

"excuse me."

Wu Yuan slipped into the house.

"What would you like to drink? Tea or a drink?" Qin Jing was standing in the kitchen, wearing a black vest, with a slightly hunched back. He was tall, and the hunched was even more obvious.

Wu Yuan sat in the small living room: "No, I'll leave after a while."

Suddenly, something flicked the calf, and a black cat jumped up without warning, staring at him with its golden eyes, Qin Jing put the tea in front of him, and smiled lazily: "It's so rare, it It's never like that in front of strangers."

Wu Yuan: "What's its name?"

Qin Jing: "Dark Knight."

Wu Yuan: "..."

"Black Knight." Qin Jing scratched his face, and seemed to think that the name was a bit of a middle school, so he changed the subject and said, "What do you want from me today?"

Wu Yuan rubbed the black knight's head, lowered his eyes and said, "Director Qin, you haven't come to work for two weeks."

Qin Jing looked up at the ceiling: "Oh? Has it been that long?"

Wu Yuan: "Director Qin doesn't come to work, does it have something to do with the family you met before?"

A hysterical wife, a silent husband, and a little boy holding Qin Jing's hand.

Qin Jing smiled, didn't answer, stood up and said, "You sit down first, I'll go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette."

The moment he stood up, his expression was extremely indifferent, Wu Yuan paused, "Can I come with you too?"

Qin Jing was surprised: "Do you know how to smoke?"

Wu Yuan: "No."

Qin Jing: "Then you..."

Wu Yuan looked at him without speaking.

Qin Jing raised his forehead and found that he couldn't communicate with him at all, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, come here."

The two stood on the balcony.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Qin Jing squinted: "Are you here specifically to smoke second-hand smoke?"

Wu Yuan stood at the mouth of the wind, his voice was as cool as the wind: "Director Qin, I want to apologize to you."

Qin Jing directly choked on the cigarette.

After coughing for a long time, he raised his head with tears in his eyes: "You don't need to do this if you want me to go back to work?"

Wu Yuan frowned, and said seriously: "No, I completely denied Director Qin before, but now that I think about it, it's a bit too hasty."

Qin Jing: "..."

Wu Yuan: "Director Qin, is it because of that family that you deny 'customer sentiment' so much?"

Qin Jing grinned against the wind: "If I don't answer you, will I not leave today?"

Wu Yuan shook his head sincerely, "I still have a job, even if Director Qin doesn't answer, I will leave."

Qin Jing coughed and laughed.

Wu Yuan glanced at him and didn't know why he was smiling, "Director Qin, you chose to find an agent because you didn't want the employees in the sales department to suffer the same experience as you, and keep them away from customers, right?"

Although I don't know exactly what happened to Qin Jing, but judging from Qin Jing's resistance to the client and the attitude of the family on Saturday to Qin Jing, we can roughly guess it.

Qin Jing grinned with a cigarette in his mouth: "Who knows..."

Wu Yuan: "Director Qin told me the other day that ideals are based on reality. I have thought about this sentence for a long time."

Qin Jing couldn't help laughing: "You are quite interesting, kid, did you really go back and think about it?"

Wu Yuan said unceremoniously: "Then I found out that what Director Qin said and what he did were really contradictory."

Qin Jing: "..."

Wu Yuan: "Director Qin said that this society is realistic, but he lets the employees in the sales department live in an ideal, and prevents them from contacting the cruel industry you said. Are you really doing it for their own good? .”

Qin Jing sneered: "It's better than getting hurt, right?"

Wu Yuan shook his head: "No matter what job you will encounter, you will be slandered, but that should not be a reason to escape."

Qin Jing: "..."

Wu Yuan said lightly: "Director Qin, your fault lies in depriving them of the ability to think and choose independently."

The soot was blown into pieces by the wind, Qin Jing smoked the remaining half of the cigarette in silence, threw it under his feet, and gently crushed it.

When he looked up again, his face was a little embarrassed, and he looked over with a smile: "I thought you came to apologize to me."

Wu Yuan: "Apology and criticism are not contradictory."

Qin Jing squinted at him, the morning sun shone in his eyes, and after a while, he snorted: "Now I finally know why Mr. Nian sent you here."

Wu Yuan nodded: "I know too."

Qin Jing smiled deeper, shook his head and said nothing, and handed him a cigarette: "You really don't smoke?"

Wu Yuan: "No smoking, Director Qin will not smoke either."

Qin Jing quickly took out a cigarette: "I will listen to what you say?"

Wu Yuan smiled faintly, put his arm on the window sill, and said softly: "Director Qin, the other day I asked you if you like to sell the house, and if you said you did, it wasn't really what you meant."

Qin Jing's hand holding the lighter froze.

Wu Yuan: "Director Qin stayed in the sales department because he really liked selling houses, or because he couldn't let go of the employees in the department."

……

How much courage does it take to give up something you love?

Qin Jing thought about it plainly, and felt that pain was greater than courage.

What I thought I could stick to for a lifetime, suddenly became torture even thinking about it. From passionate to ashamed, only the person involved can understand the struggle process.He also worked hard, trying to think about the things he loves in this industry, but every time he thinks about it, the faces of the Yuan family will come up, and in the end there will only be deeper pain.

Can't afford it, can't let it go, can't bear it.

He was surprised that the young man could understand his suffering at the moment.

Qin Jing lowered his head and smiled, and his voice was hoarse: "Manager Wu, you have a personality of talking and talking, you will suffer in the future, you know."

Wu Yuan shook his head: "I'm not afraid of losing money."

Qin Jing raised the corner of his mouth: "But if you really suffer in the future, you can come to me."

Wu Yuan: "..."

Qin Jing said with a smile: "My company is in garden planning, so it's not a problem to recruit a waiter."

Wu Yuan paused for a long time, but his face was not as relaxed, "So Director Qin has already made a decision?"

The voice fell to the ground, and the question seemed to trigger a certain point. Qin Jing took a deep breath of cigarette against the wind, and all the smiles in the last second suddenly disappeared. The corners of his mouth were serious, and his expression looked like he was about to collapse. Wu Yuan Turning his head away in time, without looking at his face, Qin Jing's back became more and more hunched from the corner of his eye, his shoulders trembled, and streams of white smoke exhaled from his nose and mouth.

For persistence, compared with persistence, it is actually more difficult to give up.

After all, I once loved it.

But who's to say that "letting go" isn't another option.

Wu Yuan looked up at the endless clear sky, raised his arm, and patted Qin Jing's shoulder comfortingly.

"Director Qin, come to the sales department to have a look when you have time."

The sun lightly caressed the brows, and he lowered his eyes, with a warm smile on his lips: "They are different from before."
