I want to have a home

Lin Jiale didn't know anything about procurement. Dai Gao and the others told him in private that procurement is a fat job. I don't know how much kickbacks I will get in a year. It is best to earn extra money. Most people can't get in if they want to. Only relatives or those who are appreciated by the boss can enter.Lin Jiale felt very strange, since such a good job, how could he choose himself?

There are fewer people in the procurement department than in the warehouse. There are seven people including Lin Jiale. One supervisor is in charge of six employees. The supervisor is from Hong Kong, his assistant is also from Hong Kong, and the other four are from Cantonese. Only Lin Jiale A provincial.Everyone communicates in Cantonese, and Lin Jiale also speaks Cantonese with everyone. Everyone is a little surprised to see that he can speak Cantonese. The colleague who was temporarily placed here is said to be just a high school graduate. I don’t know which boss it is His relatives were originally from their own country, so they didn't repel him that much.

Lin Jiale found that when people in the purchasing department work with customers, they are more likely to use Mandarin than Cantonese.But do as the Romans do, everyone speaks Cantonese, and if he speaks Mandarin, he will definitely be isolated.But sometimes Lin Jiale couldn't help laughing in his stomach when he heard his colleagues stutter in Mandarin when they were dealing with clients.

Another thing that makes Lin Jiale very awkward is that his colleagues in the purchasing department asked him to give him an English name. Lin Jiale said weakly: "Everyone can call me Ah Le?"

"No!" The colleague in charge of taking him was a girl named Amy in English. She said, "If you meet a Hong Kong client or a foreign client, you have to write to them in English. Do you still sign Ale?"

Lin Jiale had no choice but to compromise. In fact, he had almost no chance to deal with Hong Kong customers and foreign customers. What he is doing now is very similar to what he does in the warehouse, which is data sorting and entry. I don’t know when he will be able to deal with customers.Since he asked for an English name, he frowned and thought for a long time, should he be called Tom or Polly?No, Polly is the name of the parrot, which seems to be a female parrot.How about Todd?No, "Million Pounds" seems to say that Todd is a fool.He searched his brains and read all the English names he could think of, and finally came up with a good name, called Alan, which was very similar to his A Le.So Mr. Lin Allen was born.

Within a few days, the colleagues in the procurement department discovered that Lin Jiale was a very good-tempered person. He was always very modest and hard-working. Whatever work was entrusted to him, he would do it well in a down-to-earth manner.So everyone was lazy and packed all the receipts in their hands and put them on Lin Jiale's desk.Such a situation often occurs in the office: during afternoon tea time, everyone holds water cups and eats snacks and gathers together to knock their teeth. The person was facing the computer and kept typing on the keyboard.

After about half a month in this situation, one day the supervisor came and knocked on his desk: "Alan, come with me."

Lin Jiale stopped the work at hand, a little wondering if he heard it wrong, except for the day when the supervisor introduced him to his colleagues, he had never spoken to him.The supervisor stood at the door for a while and turned to look at him. Lin Jiale was convinced that he was calling him, so he followed.

Lin Jiale followed the supervisor, except for the office, up one floor and then another floor. The purchasing department was on the fourth floor. Lin Jiale knew that the highest floor was the boss's office.The supervisor stopped in front of the door with the sign of the deputy general manager's office, knocked on the door, and someone said, "Please come in!"

The supervisor pushed the door open and walked in, turning his head to signal Lin Jiale to follow.It was November, and there was still no sign of early winter in D City, and even autumn was faint. Lin Jiale was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt, which is the work clothes of office workers. Four pieces were sent, Lin Jiale thought to himself , It saves money on clothes.The air conditioner was still on in the vice president's office, and a man in a black suit was sitting at the desk by the window.Lin Jiale knew that the window was facing the lawn with the pool, but the window was closed, and the beige inner layer of the curtain was also drawn.

The supervisor greeted the people at the table in Cantonese: "Mr. He."

Lin Jiale withdrew his attention and put it on the vice president. The person in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Lin Jiale thought about it, was it the person who borrowed his umbrella and didn't return it last time? vice president.

The vice president glanced at them, nodded, and motioned for them to sit down.The supervisor sat down on the sofa next to the wall, Lin Jiale had to follow, he didn't dare to sit, the supervisor pointed to the empty seat next to him, Lin Jiale felt that it was not good to stand, so he had to carefully sit on the edge of the sofa .

The vice president closed his files and sat down on the armchair to their left.The supervisor reported work problems to him, Lin Jiale listened with his head down, and occasionally looked up to see them.This topic has nothing to do with me, I don't know what they asked me to do.After the supervisor finished talking about the problem, the topic changed, and it came to Lin Jiale: "Alan is studying recently and has made great progress. I am about to assign work to him. First let him work with Amy as a purchasing assistant."

"Alan?" the vice president asked, and the name Alan came out of his mouth, which was quite pleasant.

Lin Jiale almost got goosebumps, he moved uncomfortably, and answered in a low voice, "It's my English name."

The vice president laughed, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes could see the smile through the black-rimmed lenses: "Not bad." Then he said to the supervisor, "Eric, let's arrange it as you said. You first Go back, I'll chat with Allen."

The supervisor nodded: "Okay." After speaking, he stood up, opened the door and went out.

Lin Jiale watched the door close, and turned his head to look at the vice president with some puzzlement.The vice president stood up, took a black umbrella, and put it on the glass table in front of the sofa: "This is your umbrella. I have been busy since then and have no time to send it back to you. Thank you." He said in Mandarin.

Lin Jiale didn't move, who knew he was actually the vice president, he heard that the boss of Hongrui said that he didn't care about the affairs here, and that the vice president has the final say on all the affairs of the factory, that is to say, he is here boss.Lin Jiale said somewhat restrainedly, "You're welcome."

"My name is He Fangxu, and my English name is Wen Sheng. I am the vice president of Hongrui. I believe you have heard of it. You can call me Wen Sheng." He Fangxu said with a smile.

Lin Jiale felt his face twitch. This was the first time the boss introduced himself to him. He didn't know how to respond. The other party was the boss. With ten courage, he didn't dare to call him by his first name.He later learned that Westerners generally call their bosses by their first names. He Fangxu was brought up under the influence of British culture, so many of his behaviors followed the habits of foreigners.

"It's my idea to transfer you to the procurement department. I think talents should not be buried. Compared with warehouse management, I think the procurement department is more suitable for you." You need to master a lot of data, and you are a very careful and conscientious person, and I believe you will be able to do a very good job."

Faced with the boss's appreciation and cultivation, Lin Jiale would be lying if he said he was not moved. He nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. He for your appreciation, I will definitely do well."

He Fangxu said: "Okay, you go back first. Your supervisor will arrange practical work for you soon. I believe you will be able to do it. I look forward to your good news and work hard!"

Lin Jiale nodded: "I will. Thank you Mr. He, goodbye!"

Lin Jiale's figure disappeared behind the door, He Fangxu took off his glasses, bit his glasses leg, and smiled inscrutablely.

Lin Jiale is full of enthusiasm and longing for the whole world at this time.He thought the world was fair, just like the song sang: there is justice in the world, and there is always reward for giving.As long as you work hard, there will be rewards.It was as if he was managing in the warehouse. Because he was willing to use his brain and hands, he was qualified to be promoted to the purchasing department.What followed was not only a change in the working environment, but also a one-third increase in wages and benefits.Food and housing are included every month, and he can still get [-] yuan. His expenses are not big, and he can save [-] yuan a month, and he has a double salary at the end of the year.It is said that there will be more increases in the future. Of course, he has no courage to think about customer rebates. Now that he has been paid, he should do his own thing in a down-to-earth manner, and he should not do things that harm himself and benefit others.

Lin Jiale thought it over, after two years of doing this, he can save thirty to forty thousand yuan, and then he can go to school.If you want to go to a full-time university, this amount of money may not be enough, but there are bonuses in the university, and you can also work and study, so you can definitely support it.He has read a lot of such things from those inspirational stories. If others can do it, he can do it himself.

After arriving in the purchasing department, there is another advantage, that is, under normal circumstances, he does not need to work overtime at night, so he has more time to study.In order not to completely waste his studies, he also went to the waste recycling station to get a set of high school textbooks. He had to do English, mathematics, physics and chemistry from time to time, otherwise he would forget them all.

He also found that he didn't even need to learn English after get off work, he could study it during working hours.His current job also includes dealing with Hong Kong and foreign customers. He communicates in English by email and ICQ, which made him secretly happy for a long time. It doesn’t mean that he can learn much, but at least he won’t let himself lose English.

Lin Jiale is as busy as a happy bee. On the days when everyone does not work overtime, that is, every Wednesday night, he will go to play with the brothers in the warehouse.Some of them were married, others had girlfriends, but most of them were bachelors like him.Everyone may not get the same number of people every time, but it does not affect everyone's feelings. Everyone will take Lin Jiale to the Internet, teach him to play games, sing karaoke, go shopping in the night market, and once even went to the bar.However, the consumption of the bar is really too high. A bottle of beer costs 25 yuan outside, but it costs [-] yuan in the bar. Everyone went there once and said they were cheated.
