mild compromise

Fa, have to go back again.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you here." Guan Meng smiled.

Xiao Chenghao didn't want to leave him alone and bring him into the company.

Stepping out of the elevator, Xiao Chenghao found that the office that was full of people a few minutes ago was actually empty at this moment, all the lights in the office were turned off, and the surrounding was dark.

"Where are people?" Xiao Chenghao felt a little strange.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of several salutes, colorful ribbons fluttered in the air, and slowly fell on Xiao Chenghao's body. All the hidden employees ran out at this moment, and the assistant was pushing a birthday cake towards Xiao Chenghao with a cart. Cheng Hao walked over, and everyone applauded and sang the birthday song for Xiao Chenghao.

Xiao Chenghao suddenly realized that it turned out that asking him to go back to the company to sign was just a cover, and celebrating his birthday was the real thing.

Lin Tianruo jumped out from the crowd, put his arms around Xiao Chenghao's shoulders, and said loudly "Surprise!"

This interrupted birthday party disrupted Guan Meng's birthday celebration plan for Xiao Chenghao. The employees were all in the mood, and Xiao Chenghao, as the boss, couldn't just refuse. Guan Meng didn't want Xiao Chenghao to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to make a Compromise, call to cancel the originally reserved restaurant seats, and stay in the company to celebrate with Xiao Chenghao with everyone.He comforted himself in his heart, in fact, it's not bad, as long as the birthday people can be happy.

"I'm one year older again, happy birthday!" Lin Tianruo smiled and handed the prepared gift to Xiao Chenghao.

Xiao Chenghao opened the gift directly in front of everyone, and there was a Lange watch in the box, and the surrounding colleagues made a lot of noise.

"Mr. Lin's gift to Mr. Xiao is really precious!"

"Is this watch expensive?"

"I read it in a magazine some time ago, and it seems to cost hundreds of thousands."

"Isn't it? Then Mr. Lin's shot is too generous!"

"He is rich. I heard that Mr. Lin's father is the richest man in Chicago. It must be a small case for him to give him a watch."

Guan Meng stood aside, listening to the laughter and gossip of colleagues around him, he quietly put his hand into his pocket, touched the gift he had prepared for Xiao Chenghao, he was going to give the gift to Xiao Chenghao just now Yes, but now he suddenly feels that he can't afford it. Compared with the kind of watches that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, the gift he picked for Xiao Chenghao is just a pair of cufflinks that cost less than 1000 yuan in the counter of the mall. In contrast, my own gift seemed too shabby.

After unwrapping Lin Tianruo's gift, Xiao Chenghao took the initiative to come over and ask Guan Meng for a gift: "Mengmeng, didn't you say you have something to give me?"

Seeing Xiao Chenghao's expectant expression, Guan Meng tightly covered his pockets in embarrassment, and lied: "I suddenly remembered that I left that gift at home, and I will bring it to you when I go back later."

"Mr. Xiao, is this your friend? Why don't you introduce us?" Suddenly someone asked, and the employees expressed their curiosity.

Xiao Chenghao smiled and pulled Guan Meng to his side, "He is my younger brother, named Guan Meng."

Guan Meng was very happy when he heard that Xiao Chenghao introduced himself to everyone as his younger brother, but he also felt a little disappointed when he was happy.

"Why doesn't Mr. Xiao's younger brother look like you?"

"We are not relatives." Xiao Chenghao said with a smile, "He is the child of my mentor."

"I understand. Mr. Xiao means that his relationship with Guan Meng is as good as a brother."

Xiao Chenghao just smiled, without denying it.

When going to work the next day, Lin Tianruo came to look for Xiao Chenghao. He pointed to the pair of cuff buttons that Xiao Chenghao pinned to his shirt sleeve, and asked, "New?"

"You have sharp eyes."

"of course."

"Where did you buy it?" Lin Tianruo is very particular about suits and suit accessories. The cufflinks Xiao Chenghao uses are not well-known brands. According to his understanding of Xiao Chenghao's usual taste, it is impossible for Xiao Chenghao to Picking things out like that himself, though he had an answer soon enough.

"This is from Guan Meng."

Oh no wonder.Lin Tianruo glanced at Xiao Chenghao's hand, "Why didn't you wear the new watch I gave you?"

"I'm used to wearing this watch. I'll put away yours first and use it later." Xiao Chenghao stood up and put on his suit jacket, "Didn't you say go out for lunch? Where are you going to eat?"

"You decide, I'll do whatever you want." Lin Tianruo lowered his tone a few times, but Xiao Chenghao didn't notice it, and left the office with him as if nothing had happened.

Guan Meng came over not long after Xiao Chenghao and Lin Tianruo left the company.Earlier, Lao Cai bought a batch of Ethiopian coffee from a friend. He knew that Xiao Chenghao liked to drink this, so he planned to take it to him. Looking for Xiao Chenghao in the company, Lao Cai can probably guess what Guan Meng is thinking, so he might as well make a favor and entrust Guan Meng with the task of delivering coffee.

Xiao Chenghao's assistant told Guan Meng that their boss had gone out for lunch and asked Guan Meng to put down the things. When Xiao Chenghao came back later, she would hand them over to him for Guan Meng.

Not seeing Xiao Chenghao, Guan Meng was a little bit unwilling, "Or I'll just wait here for him to come back."

The assistant let him go, made him a pot of fruit tea, then gave him some snacks for entertaining customers, and continued to work.

While waiting for Xiao Chenghao's return, Guan Meng had nothing to do and played with his mobile phone.

Suddenly there was a quarrel-like sound in the office. Looking up, a foreign man was holding a document in his hand and seemed to be arguing with the employees of the company. The employee couldn't understand what he said, and seemed a little anxious .

The assistant hurried over, and from the content of their discussion, Guan Meng probably knew the whole story.

The foreign man is a partner of Xiao Chenghao Company. Due to an inadvertent mistake made by the planning department, there was a problem with the proposal handed over to the client. Now the other party came to the door angrily and asked them to revise it immediately. .

The client is French, and the interpreter did not come today because he did not make an appointment in advance, which caused the department manager to rush around. No one in the company can understand French. Someone tried to communicate with the other party in English, but the other party could not hear him. I understand, the two sides talked like chicken and duck, and it was a mess.

The client looked annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

"When will Mr. Xiao come back?" The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I have called him just now, and he is on his way back to the company now."

The customer asked the manager a word, but the manager didn't understand what he was talking about, and didn't know what to say other than "sorry" to the other party.

Guan Meng stood up suddenly and walked towards the client and the manager. He said to the manager, "This gentleman said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and asked you where the bathroom is."

The manager was quite surprised. He asked Guan Meng, "Can you understand what he said?"

Guan Meng nodded, and told the customer the location of the toilet according to what the manager said. After the customer left, the manager seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw and pulled Guan Meng: "That's really great, can you help out temporarily? Would you like our translation?"

The manager told him in a pleading tone that this time their company had drawn up a major transaction project with that client, and the employees had worked hard for nearly a year on it. It's all in vain.

Guan Meng nodded, "I will try my best."

His mother used to be a French professor and translator. Under the influence of his mother, Guan Meng learned French at a young age. Although he never touched French in so many years after high school, his foundation is still solid, and he is still fluent when he speaks French again. smooth.

Guan Meng acted as the translation bridge between Xiao Chenghao's company and the client. Although Guan Meng didn't understand some technical terms, he still tried his best to convey the manager's opinions to the other party as much as possible.

Due to traffic jam, Xiao Chenghao delayed for a while, and by the time he rushed back to the company, the client's matter had already been satisfactorily resolved.

The manager praised Guan Meng vigorously to Xiao Chenghao, Guan Meng was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly with his head down.

"Actually, I didn't see him being so exaggerated and capable. I know a little French, so I just helped translate."

A big firm hand was placed on his head and gently stroked, "Honey, you really did me a big favor!"

Xiao Chenghao blurted out the sound of "baby" from the bottom of his heart but subconsciously, making Guan Meng and Lin Tianruo beside him stunned at the same time.

The former was ecstatic, but he tried his best to suppress his inner emotions and dared not express it easily, while the latter felt a little uncomfortable.

This big deal, which has been busy for a whole year, was successfully concluded because of Guan Meng. In the evening, the company specially held a celebration banquet, and all the employees involved in the project raised their glasses to celebrate.

Holding a goblet filled with red wine in his hand, Guan Meng sat on the seat with an abrupt expression on his face. In his opinion, he had only done a trivial favor at the beginning, and he never thought that he would An outsider would take a seat at the celebration banquet.

The department manager made a special trip to toast Guan Meng. He held up his glass, his face flushed, and he was very excited, "Xiao Guan, we are really thankful to you this time! Come, I'll toast you with this glass!"

The wine glass in his hand was suddenly snatched away, Xiao Chenghao returned him a glass of orange juice, raised his head and smiled at the manager: "He can't drink, let me drink this wine for him."

One night, Xiao Chenghao drank a lot of wine. When the banquet was about to end, Xiao Chenghao ran into the toilet. Guan Meng saw that he was walking a little bit staggeringly.
