you are a bit arrogant

"Come on, Yuanyuan, eat more of this. You usually live alone and you are busy with work, so you can only make do with your meals." He Cuilin distressedly picked up a large piece of ribs and put them in Zhou Shengyuan's bowl, watching him eat Next, he couldn't help nagging again.

"It's good to share the house with the unit, but it's too far away from us. It takes ten days and a half months to go home. I finally hoped you back from other places, but I still can't see people often. Alas. ..."

Zhou Shengyuan was drinking soup, knowing that his mother was complaining that he didn't come back often, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he could only promise to come back often when he was free.

While nagging, He Cuilin served him another bowl of soup, and ordered:

"It's okay to eat less rice, but drink more soup, it's good for your health."

Zhou Shengyuan took the soup again, thanked him and continued to drink, while involuntarily thinking that the soup made by himself is really delicious, and next time he can also make some soup for Qin Xiao.

When the child is still growing up, if he can be fed to make him fat for nothing, that would be considered a great achievement!Zhou Shengyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Seeing that he was drinking happily, Zhou Guoqi and He Cuilin picked up chopsticks to refill the dishes several times.

After dinner, Zhou Guoqi and He Cuilin sent Zhou Shengyuan to the door.

"Yuanyuan, don't you want to sit down longer? Are you leaving in such a hurry?" He Cuilin complained, "I walked in a hurry last time, and this time too."

"Mom, you and Dad don't worry, I'll come back to see you often when I'm free for a while." Zhou Shengyuan stood under the steps, comforting He Cuilin.

"Yeah, they are all in one place, and you can come back whenever you want, so don't be reluctant." Zhou Guoqi also comforted.

"What do you know!" He Cuilin glared at Zhou Guoqi, then held her son's hand and babbled and prudently instructed her a little bit more, then reluctantly sent Zhou Shengyuan into the car, and watched him drive away.

Seeing the figures of his parents gradually shrinking from the rearview mirror, Zhou Shengyuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The misty nostalgia and homesickness that still existed a few years ago have already been scattered and frightened by He Cuilin's relentless pursuit of marriage.He raised his eyes and looked at himself in the rearview mirror.

The traces of time passing away on his body are not obvious. He is still as young as yesterday, but the growth of age is unstoppable, and many "should do" things follow one after another, which makes him extremely worried.

After driving for more than ten minutes, Zhou Shengyuan was about to make a call when the car phone rang. He glanced at the incoming call and answered it with a frown. Then his expression became more and more serious. Has been interrupted, and he has not dialed back.

The black Audi Q3 continued to drive forward, and when it reached a fork in the road, it suddenly chose to turn around and headed in the direction opposite to the original destination.

***

"Hello, Brother Zhou." A little assistant hurriedly walked towards him with a stack of materials, and greeted Zhou Shengyuan when he saw him.

"Yeah." Zhou Shengyuan nodded quickly while holding the phone, then stepped up and walked towards the conference room.

"Sorry, I'm late." He pushed open the door of the meeting room and bowed apologetically.

Hong Gaofeng sat on the main seat, and when he saw him coming in, he nodded casually without showing any anger, motioning him to sit down.

Another colleague at the same level as Zhou Shengyuan was making a work report, and a series of data were displayed on the PPT.

Zhou Shengyuan sent him an apologetic look, then found his own seat and sat down lightly, but when he looked up, he saw Pan Deming's eyes fell on him with special meaning.

This kind of eyes that are being scrutinized out of thin air is very uncomfortable, but Zhou Shengyuan just smiled calmly and nodded to him, signaling to say hello.

Pan Deming also nodded with a smile, then withdrew his eyes and looked at the colleague who was reporting.

After being seated, Zhou Shengyuan looked around the conference room and found something was wrong.

The conference room was still full, but the people who appeared in the conference room now, if Zhou Shengyuan remembered correctly, were all from Hong Gaofeng and Pan Deming's side, while another executive of the same level was at the moment There was no one, not even a familiar person beside him.

The stage was still reporting enthusiastically, but Zhou Shengyuan's hand holding the phone was tight. He quietly opened the message, but did not see any notice of the company's middle-level meeting. Today, it was Pan Deming himself who called to inform him of.

Zhou Shengyuan looked through the news and found that there was no one to ask for the bottom line.The only person he is familiar with is Xiao Zhou and the people in the team are not of high level, and he is not familiar with the people sitting in the same room except Pan Deming and Hong Gaofeng.

He encountered an accident when he first took office. He had already put all his attention on the experiment, and he hadn't had time to take care of his interpersonal relationship, but he didn't expect this loophole to show up now.

He Cuilin's words were still vivid in his memory, Zhou Shengyuan frowned, and while listening to the report, he started to analyze the function of this meeting.

If it's just a simple report, there is no need to ask him to come back.Firstly, he asked for leave, and secondly, he has been employed for less than a month, so what can he report?

Then, the most fundamental use of this mobilizing and clear-cut meeting is not to report, but to make clear.

Show boundaries.

This is it again.

Zhou Shengyuan's hands holding the phone were clenched even tighter, his face was a little ugly.Why are Hong Gaofeng and Pan Deming so eager to urge him to stand in line?What is the reason for such haste?He was thinking secretly, suddenly, a man next to him elbowed him suddenly.

Zhou Shengyuan came back to his senses suddenly, and saw that most of the people in the conference room were looking at him. Following the gesture of the man beside him, he turned his eyes back to Hong Gaofeng who was standing in the main seat.

The previous person's report was over, and Hong Gaofeng was looking at him with a smile on his face. Even though he could see that his mind was obviously distracted, he was not annoyed. He just repeated what he just said with a smile.

"Come on, this is Zhou Shengyuan! This is one of the outstanding talents who just joined our company not long ago. I haven't had the chance to introduce you to everyone. Now let's get to know each other officially. Applause!"

Everyone applauded, Zhou Shengyuan also got up with an awkward smile, and bowed his body as a gesture.

He was worried that Hong Gaofeng was deliberately promoting him, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Hong Gaofeng used the same words and tone to introduce two other colleagues who also joined not long ago, and they were also at the same level as him. .

Zhou Shengyuan calmed down a little, and when he sat down, he was keenly aware that besides the ones here, there were two newly promoted colleagues who were not there.

Although he is not familiar with him, Zhou Shengyuan secretly wrote down the brief information of his colleagues at the same time out of instinct, and now he can immediately tell who is missing when he meets his face.

His eyes swept over the two of them one by one, and the matter was roughly cleared up.

Looking at the room full of Yingying, he suppressed his doubts a little bit, no matter what he would face next, he had to be prepared and face it with all his strength.

The ups and downs of the workplace depend half on ability and half on thinking.

He is also a person who has almost ten years of work experience. Even such a storm, he can accept and face it.

They relaxed a bit, but the meeting lasted an unimaginably long time, almost half of the people came up to report, Zhou Shengyuan became more hesitant as he listened.

It's all things that can be said or not, and there is no need to report them at important meetings, but these old employees at the management level are more detailed one by one. It's like telling newcomers like them.

He quietly paid attention to the reactions of the other two, occasionally bending the corners of his lips gracefully when they looked at each other unexpectedly.The two were equally mature and stable, and they knew each other well.

When the meeting reached six o'clock, there was no sign of ending, and Hong Gaofeng was talking nonsense again.Zhou Shengyuan took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat interface, and sent Qin Xiao a WeChat message.

[sheng: I need to work overtime at night, so I can handle dinner by myself, don't wait for me. 】

It took a long time for Qin Xiao to reply. His WeChat account was bound to Zhou Shengyuan's other mobile phone number, which was temporarily used for expropriation. Even the WeChat name was given by Zhou Shengyuan. Qin Xiao just glanced lazily at that time, Follow him like watching a child.

[Smile: Oh. 】

With a simple word, Zhou Shengyuan didn't send any more messages. After staring at it for a while, he was about to put his phone away, when another message popped up in the top box.

[Smile: Boss Zhou works hard and earns money. 】

Zhou Shengyuan raised the corners of his mouth and started typing.

【sheng: What do you do to make money? 】

[Smile: Raise me. 】

Qin Xiao then sent another emoji of sticking out his tongue, and then there was no more movement.Zhou Shengyuan guessed that he probably left the tablet and went to watch TV or read a book, so he didn't reply, but just stared at the chat interface for a long time with a funny face.

"What are you looking at, brother?" It was the man who reminded Zhou Shengyuan just now, and he leaned over curiously.

"Talk something to your family." Zhou Shengyuan turned off the phone with a smile, and politely greeted the man beside him, "Zhou Shengyuan, Ri Chengcheng, the source of the source, please take care of me in the future."

"My name is Chang Shi, and it's time." Chang Shi smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking Zhou Shengyuan slightly.

"That's a lot to talk about." After shaking hands, he whispered to Zhou Shengyuan familiarly.

With a smile on the corner of Zhou Shengyuan's mouth, he nodded slightly like a student whispering in school.

Seeing that Zhou Shengyuan was willing to respond to him, he immediately pulled people to chat.

Changshi is already in his thirties and has been in this company for many years. He is older than Zhou Shengyuan, but he is not tall, has a baby face, and has a lively personality. He looks younger at the moment some.

While talking with him in a low voice, Zhou Shengyuan paid attention to Chang's body language and gestures calmly, thinking inappropriately in his mind:

Doesn't it always look younger like this, and he looks older like this?
