Ten years ago, I admired my mother for the first half of my life, and I also wanted to spare no effort to regard my mother as the most shining star in the rest of my life.

Unexpectedly, once I became President Xu's secretary, I was easily and completely convinced, and I offered all the admiration and admiration in my heart with both hands.

Facing Mr. Xu's resume, Secretary Yi can say without exaggeration that Mr. Xu is really an excellent and perfect genius.

Take language talent alone.In addition to his mother tongue, Mr. Xu is also proficient in nine languages, and he is learning Arabic recently, and he will be able to master it in a short time.

But Mr. Xu never deliberately showed off or even made it public. Secretary Yi found out about these things by himself or asked them in private.But even in the face of Secretary Yi's question, Mr. Xu still had a calm expression on his face, as if he was talking about trivial matters that were not worth mentioning.

In the final analysis, Secretary Yi's achievements today are largely due to Mr. Xu.To give a very simple example, without Mr. Xu setting an example, how could he be able to practice the Russian language with a big tongue.

"Oh, it's still not enough." Secretary Yi was a little frustrated, "I don't know when I will be able to do everything like Mr. Xu."

What he said was true, and he was really downcast.

There was no expression on Mr. Xu's face, he just turned his head to look at Secretary Yi, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "You will."

Hearing this, Secretary Yi was taken aback.

"You will" - three simple words, wrapped in a candy wrapper called appeasement, filled with enough trust, and then delivered to him through the strange temperature on his shoulder.

They are like a bunch of fireworks, blooming in his heart, gorgeous and peaceful.Afterwards, the smog that cooled down was lingering, like a long-term memory, which could not be dissipated and gradually became clear.

Yi Tang is indeed an excellent secretary, but excellent does not mean suitable.

Before he got Xu Shizhan's approval and became Xu Shizhan's chief secretary after taking office, he and Yi Tang had a running-in period for nearly a year.

One year, 360 five days.24 hours a day.During that time, except for going home to sleep, they were almost bonded together like conjoined twins.

So to put it simply, they have known each other for eight or nine years.

However, the reality is not so slimy.

At that time, the two of them—the aesthetic Yi Tang and the self-principled Xu Shizhan—although expressed in different ways, they were both young and energetic boys, and it was easy to say that they both looked at each other and hated each other.

At that time, Xu Shizhan was just a department manager who kept his name and worked silently at the bottom, while Yi Tang was a little secretary who had just entered the society and was easily unconvinced by doubts.

Once, the branch cooperated with a British merchant, and both parties communicated by email in foreign languages.

And when Yi Tang translated the content of the email for the first time and submitted it, Xu Shizhan took it and said, "Give me the email too."

Xu Shizhan didn't glance at the translation document in his hand, and directly reached out to Yi Tang for the original email sent by the other party.what does that mean?

To Yi Tang at the time, this meant that Xu Shizhan didn't believe in his translation ability, what's more, he was questioning his level.

It was the first time but not the only time Yi Tang experienced such a feeling during the running-in period of that year.

But if Yi Tang had to describe his mood at that time, he really couldn't remember.He can only remember those scenes, and recall those words and actions like a bystander, but it is no longer possible to have real feelings and experiences.

Therefore, Yi Tang could only speak bluntly. When Xu Shizhan finished speaking, he was stunned for a while.

He was still expressionless at the time, and when he realized it, it was as if he suspected that his ears had heard wrong, his eyes widened a little bit, and his mouth opened and closed, wanting to refuse and refute.

But in the end, he suppressed his disbelief and compromised: "...Okay, just wait a moment." He honestly went to get the original email.

After Xu Shizhan carefully reviewed the original email, and briefly glanced at Yi Tang's translation, he looked directly at Yi Tang and said, "You don't need to do translation work in the future, just show me the original."

Xu Shizhan said this sentence, or most of the words, without any emotion, and his tone of voice and even his speed were very flat.He was like a robot, he only reported the results, his words were straight but without cadence, flat and cold.

But this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Yi Tang, he didn't have time to think, and immediately asked: "How can this be done, won't your workload be heavy?"

Looking back later, Yi Tang felt that he was too abrupt and impulsive at that time.Although he was just eager to prove himself, if Xu Shizhan had been stricter, or if he was facing someone other than Xu Shizhan, then he might not be working at Xu Shizhan today.

But there was no if, he was indeed impulsive, but he was facing Xu Shizhan, Xu Shizhan who gave him a second chance.

"With all due respect, if your translation level has always been like this." Xu Shizhan was really angry at the moment. Although his expression and tone have not changed, he can still figure out the meaning between the lines, "Maybe Looking directly at the original is my more efficient and less error-prone choice."

How damaging is that last sentence.

After listening to the words, Yi Tang no longer had any resistance, and took away the shocking document that Xu Shizhan handed over, disregarding even the final etiquette, and rushed out the door in a daze.

Yi Tang spent the whole day after leaving the office in torment.

At that time, Yi Tang just came out of the ivory tower on campus, young and confident.He is not as mature and steady as he is now, knowing how to discard some unnecessary emotions.

All Yi Tang has is faith and drive.He wanted to be a very successful secretary, like his mother assisted his father.

With his mother as his goal, he laid the foundation perfectly before working, and after entering the company, he is full of energy and wants to do every job well.

Yi Tang thought that he already had enough strength to be perfect for the job in his mind.Unexpectedly, the reality told him that his ideal was still an ideal.

That emotion was too complicated, mixed with too much unwillingness, dissatisfaction, sadness, frustration, decadence... He was still too fragile to be strong in the future, so that he almost lost confidence.

Fortunately, Yi Tang didn't want to admit defeat in embarrassment, so he pulled himself together and made up his mind to study English hard.

More importantly, I would like to thank Xu Shizhan for showing up in time and stopping Yi Tang from studying hard.

It happened on the fifth night after the mail incident.

At that time, the two were in the branch office. Although they worked overtime from time to time, they hadn't reached the level of continuous overtime.

But ever since Yi Tang was hit, he has been in the company just like he was in the library at school.

Every time Xu Shizhan was off work, the small lights were turned on in Yi Tang's place; in the morning when Xu Shizhan came to work, the small lights were still turned on in Yi Tang's place.After going back and forth for a few days, Xu Shizhan was no longer curious, and had to pay attention to what his secretary was doing.

That day, Xu Shizhan joined the class before leaving.He remembered that it was late autumn, and the headlights were all turned off when he went out.The sky was getting dark again quickly, and it was dark outside, only the faint white light on Yi Tang's desk could be seen.

This time Xu Shizhan didn't go directly, but went around and walked to Yi Tang's desk.

He was going to knock on the table suddenly, but when he saw Yi Tang lying on the table and fell asleep, he involuntarily withdrew his fingers, and even the sound of his breathing became softer on purpose.

When Xu Shizhan was debating whether to wake him up, maybe it was God's help, he clearly saw the translated book that Yi Tang used as a pillow cushion.

Then the truth came out, Yi Tang was trying to improve his English because of the email.

After Xu Shizhan's mind went blank for a moment, he remembered the serious words he said that day.Immediately afterwards, he felt a little helpless and inexplicably guilty.

What he said at the time were all the truth, Yi Tang really didn't need a translator, and he really felt more at ease reading the original text directly.

But Xu Shizhan also forgot to affirm Yi Tang's translation ability and forgot to tell Yi Tang that for him, English is as proficient as his mother tongue.He didn't want Yi Tang to do the translation work. First, he didn't want to waste time. Second, other people's translations might affect his understanding.

But now it seems that Yi Tang is deeply troubled by this.

In the darkness, a dazzling yet gentle white light enveloped the narrow world.

The deep sea in Xu Shizhan's eyes reflected his weakly undulating back, and the surging emotions touched the corners of his mouth. It was probably the first time in his life that he felt dumbfounded, and the loveliness of a person.

Later, Xu Shizhan woke him up anyway.

"You translated very well before, and you didn't have any problems, but it didn't meet my standards, or your personal habits are more correct." That was the longest sentence Xu Shizhan said since Yi Tang became Xu Shizhan's secretary words, but not the last sentence.

"If you want to lighten my workload and prove yourself, you may need to get out of your habit and do things the way I think."

As he said that, Xu Shizhan suddenly produced an A4 paper and put it on Yi Tang's desk, "This is my translation, you can check it out."

After Yi Tang was woken up, he stared in a daze, listening to a lot of people talking in a stupor.Strange to say, for some reason, he clearly realized that it was Xu Shizhan who was talking to him, but he still couldn't cheer up.

In the end, he thought to himself, did Xu Shizhan conjure a magic trick for him, and turned out a dozen papers?

And Xu Shizhan didn't care about Yi Tang's confusion, before he left, he patiently said something he thought was nonsense, "I'm leaving first, you should go back earlier."

No matter how much, Yi Tang recalled, but he just reflected on the reason why he couldn't cheer up at that time.

It must be because that day, at four
