You are a surprise in my heart

To Lu Licheng, Zhong Haotian felt an indescribable gratitude for him still trusting him.

"Shally, print out two copies of the materials faxed by AX to each team member. There is also an afternoon meeting to inform everyone that the meeting will be held late, so that everyone can solve the dinner problem within half an hour. Just order me a box lunch." While reading the documents that had just been faxed, Lu Licheng made an internal call to his assistant.

The signing of the case of AX company was only the beginning of the tough battle. Although the former supervisor approached this case first, everyone knew that it was all thanks to Lu Licheng that the case was successfully handled by them, so of course he was responsible for this case.After checking the materials and meeting items, Lu Licheng put down the pen in hand and stretched.The office building of the Shanghai branch is very grand, and his office is much larger than the one in Beijing.Checking the time, there were still ten minutes to catch up on sleep, so Lu Licheng went to the sofa, lay down, closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.

Despite the high pace of work, Lu Licheng's private life is relatively simple.When he used to rest in Beijing, he would cook some delicious food at home to reward himself, or go to the health club to exercise, and he would also go to the bar to watch the football to relax.However, since he came to Shanghai, he has almost no time to rest, and he has never even been to the gym once. Lu Licheng was a little tired from working overtime all night for the past few days.He had to make this case beautiful. This is his first case in Shanghai, so the meaning is naturally different.

'Ding Dong' sound, is the voice of MSN message.Lu Licheng rubbed his Jingming acupoint, sat up and went back to the computer.

'Elliott, a scan of the full manuscript for the first issue has been emailed. 'It turned out to be Zhong Haotian's message to him.

Since he gave Zhong Haotian an MSN account, they usually use MSN to contact and communicate with each other.

'already received. Lu Licheng refreshed his mailbox, "I may not be able to reply to you today for specific matters."At noon tomorrow, I will email you my opinion.In addition, due to work reasons this week, please do not contact me about the decoration, and we will talk about it next week. '

'OK. 'The other party replied immediately.

"Elliott." Shally knocked on the door.

"Come in." Lu Licheng began to organize his desk and check before the meeting.

"Your lunch box, and a copy of Rory's data sheet." Shally put down the lunch box and the copy.

"You go to eat first, and let everyone go to the conference room in 15 minutes." Lu Licheng casually began to flip through the data sheet.

"Then I'll go out first." Shally turned and closed the door and walked out.

The sky outside the window has darkened.Today may be another sleepless night for Lu Licheng.

After closing the notebook, Zhong Haotian was planning to make dinner for An An.Suddenly, a text message came to the phone saying: Hao Tian, ​​come to the office right away, Ian.

Usually at this point in time, Ian never asked him to go to the office, and the tone of the text message must have caused something to happen.In desperation, Zhong Haotian entrusted An An to Teacher Song next door to take care of him, and then drove to the office immediately.

As soon as he entered the office door, Ian greeted him.

"Hao Tian, ​​go to my office to talk." Ian almost pulled his arm into the office.Zhong Haotian felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In Ian's office, another colleague, Milo, was already sitting there.It seems that today is just waiting for him to arrive.

"Milo, talk to Hao Tian about the situation first." Ian sat down with a more serious expression.

"Senior Haotian, the thing is like this, there is a problem with Mrs. Ma's case." Milo said straight to the point.

'what is the problem? 'Zhong Haotian immediately asked nervously and wrote.

"This afternoon, Mrs. Ma called the office and complained that the newly completed house was flooded with water last night, and all the floors on the ground floor were soaked in water. There was a problem with the plumbing." Milo looked at Zhong Haotian and said.

Zhong Haotian stared at Milo in a daze.

Mrs. Ma's case is jointly in charge of by him and Milo.This case can be regarded as a big case for the firm. Mrs. Ma is the wife of the president of IX Company, and Ian managed to get it with great difficulty.At the beginning, because the firm valued it, he and Milo were put in charge together.Now that there is such a big mistake, they naturally need to take responsibility.But the question is, who is the main person responsible for this responsibility.

Milo has just turned 27 years old this year. He is a relatively young designer in Ian's office, and entered the office almost at the same time as Zhong Haotian.But at that time Milo was unknown, and when Zhong Haotian entered the office, he got the admiration of many colleagues, as long as he was in this industry, he was known to some extent.But as time went by, Milo and his position in the firm underwent subtle changes. One was a newcomer that the firm focused on cultivating while the other was just a person who made a living in the firm.

"At that time, what happened to the supervisor? Also, Mrs. Ma called me and told me that she had asked a third party to check this batch of water pipes, and it was not the batch she designated at that time." Ian leaned on the chair with sharp eyes. Sweep over both of them.

"Boss, I am responsible for this matter." Milo said first: "At that time, I was in a hurry to prepare for the entry to Hong Kong, so most of the things were left to Senior Hao Tian. The Case was already a waste of time and energy, Hao Tian Senior Tian has a lot of experience, so he helped me a lot. If I hadn't been so involved in the Hong Kong game, I wouldn't have made such a mistake." Milo's tone was sincere and apologetic.

Ian looked at Milo, then at Zhong Haotian: "Haotian, what do you think?"

Zhong Haotian was silent for a while, took out a pen and wrote in his notebook, 'I am responsible for this matter.At that time, Milo was preparing to represent the firm to participate in the competition, and there was a lot of pressure.I think, it's not that I haven't done this kind of case, and I want him to concentrate on participating in the competition.It was because of my negligence in supervision. Regarding the matter of water pipes, I may not have communicated well with the shipper when I checked and accepted. '

"Didn't communicate well? And then the water pipes turned into such inferior and shoddy products that the floor of the whole room was ruined? Zhong Haotian, what did you do!" Ian raised his voice and shouted at Zhong Haotian, causing colleagues outside the office Hear it clearly.

"Senior and I take responsibility for this matter together." Milo immediately pleaded for Zhong Haotian.

"Now, the most urgent thing is to apologize to Mrs. Ma. The office will immediately deal with this mess." Ian looked at Zhong Haotian and dropped the pen in his hand angrily.

"Tomorrow, senior Haotian and I will go to apologize to Mrs. Ma. The water pipe problem must be caused by the shipper's mistake." Milo gave Zhong Hao an angelic look.

'The main responsibility lies with me, I can just go tomorrow. Zhong Haotian glanced at Milo and shook his head with a smile.

"The trouble you caused, of course you go! Milo, don't you still have to go to Hangzhou for a trip? For this matter, half a month's salary will be deducted from you, and the rest will be left alone. Haotian, clean up this mess for me. "Ian sat on the seat, looking at Zhong Haotian expressionlessly.

"Understood, Boss." Milo nodded and blamed himself.

"Okay, this matter is over for today. Haotian, you should go back first. Early tomorrow morning, remember to visit Mrs. Ma's house to apologize and discuss how to solve it. Do you understand?"

Zhong Haotian nodded, his eyes were as calm as ever, as if the harsh words of accusation were not about him.

Walking out of Ian's office, Zhong Haotian walked straight to the door of the office, behind him he could feel the eyes of colleagues around him penetrating his body.He walked leisurely at his usual pace, without any special expressions, and finally turned around and said goodbye to his colleagues with a smile.Just as he was about to leave the office, he was stopped by Milo.

"Senior Haotian, when you just came here, I found that your complexion was not very good. I bought you a cup of hot milk, take care of your body." Milo said with concern.

Zhong Haotian took the hot milk with a smile, thanked him and left the office.Before walking into the elevator, he threw the cup of hot milk into the trash can next to him.

The night sky in Shanghai today is rare and bright.Zhong Haotian raised his head and looked at the sky that was brightly dyed by lights, where the few faintly shining stars were hanging and twinkling.Suddenly remembered, he once looked at the starry sky like this and proposed to Yang Zhenzhen.At that time, he was a proud designer with many visions in life.Who would have thought that a few years later, it would be like this.

Milo, the name popped into his mind, Zhong Haotian laughed at himself.In Mrs. Ma's case, the two had a clear division of labor at the time, and because of the background of the other party, Milo took the initiative to ask for performance and stopped everything.He has difficulty communicating and the main contact with customers is Milo.The matter of the water pipes was originally handled by Zhong Haotian, but Milo snatched it on the grounds that he wanted to practice more.Zhong Haotian is not interested in grabbing merit, what he cares about is that this case can bring him considerable income, and that is enough.But I didn't expect that Milo was so courageous that he would be greedy for money in Mrs. Ma's case.

Ian called him over today, partly because the two of them were in charge of the case together, so it was natural to ask him.On the other hand, I just want him to take the blame.If he doesn't take the initiative to stand up today and take the main responsibility, he will find a way to pin the matter to him in the future.At that time, when things got serious, he was even more embarrassed.

However, he didn't blame Ian.The firm is now going to participate in a government bidding project, and Milo is naturally involved. He just won the design award last month, which is a good bargaining chip.If something happens to Milo at this time, the project is likely to fail.He is neither the famous designer Zhong Haotian, nor will he participate in any important cases in the future.If he doesn't take the blame, who will take the blame?This time I took the initiative to stand up, and I also hope that Ian will feel a little bit guilty about him, because apart from Ian, what firm would accept a designer like him?Today is different from the past, the world is so big, I am afraid that only here can accommodate him.

Zhong Haotian's face turned pale.After the operation, the stomach was damaged because the feeding tube could not be inserted into the esophagus to eat.Enduring the pain in his abdomen, Zhong Haotian bought bread at a roadside convenience store to satisfy his hunger, and then drove home.Tomorrow, in addition to apologizing to Mrs. Ma to deal with the accident, he also has to wait for the result of the handling from the firm.

On a sunny afternoon, Lu Licheng was in a good mood. The first phase of AX’s case is over, at least I can rest for a few days and relax.Open the mailbox and accept the mail as usual.I found out that Ian's office had sent him an email, and the content was that Zhong Haotian might not be able to take on his case temporarily due to physical reasons, and asked him if he changed designers and gave several designers' works and introductions.As soon as Lu Licheng read the email, he knew that something was wrong with Zhong Haotian. Unless he was sick and couldn't get up, how could Case change people for no reason? A few days ago, he also received design suggestions from Zhong Haotian.

If it was the beginning, Lu Licheng would definitely change the designer along the way.However, the cooperation between him and Zhong Haotian is very pleasant at present, and the other party is also very responsible.He has no reason to change people casually, and after looking at the works of other designers, he can't find what he wants.Remembering that I made an appointment to go to the gym with Ian after get off work today, I can ask what's going on.

When Ian found Lu Licheng in the gym, he was already sweating profusely sitting in a corner panting.

"Do you want to work so hard, be careful that your legs and feet will be sore that you won't be able to walk tomorrow." After changing his clothes, Ian started jogging on the treadmill to warm up.

"Since I came to Shanghai, I haven't been exercising, and today I found that I have a small belly." Lu Licheng said while wiping his sweat.

"Is there? Let me see." Ian walked off the treadmill with a smile, took Lu Licheng's arm, and poked his abdomen.

"Don't press indiscriminately, hiss—" Lu Licheng realized that he had indeed exercised a lot today, and his abdomen was very sore from being pressed by Ian.

"You're not too young, so take it easy. Find a woman to start a family while you're still beautiful. Don't get old and frail, no one will want you." Ian grinned, walked back to the treadmill and started jogging.

"Even if a woman wants it, she can't be like you." Lu Licheng clicked his tongue and said, staring at Ian's belly.

"So, I was forced by my wife to come to the gym." Ian sighed.

"I received an email from your office at noon today, saying that Zhong Haotian had health problems, and asked if I should change designers. What's going on?" Lu Licheng leaned on the treadmill and asked Ian.

"Didn't you always want to change?" Ian pierced Lu Licheng's mind and said, "It's just that your health is not good, and you want to take a rest."

"I'm a customer and have the right to know. Also, this kind of official answer is useless to me." Lu Licheng looked at Ian and said.

"Haotian's other case had some mistakes, and he needed to deal with it. So, in order not to delay other customers, I just dealt with it like this." Ian paused, and said while trotting.

"Then he must have made a big mess for you." Lu Licheng said, "Don't be too soft-hearted. The business field is not for charity. If it's not possible, don't renew the contract with him. By the way, does he have a disability certificate?"

"Disability certificate?" Ian looked at Lu Licheng who was jogging beside him strangely.

"You don't know the government's preferential policies? If he is like this, the government of your office will give corresponding preferential policies to encourage the employment of disabled people. There are quite a few in our company." Lu Licheng glanced at the old classmates beside him. In his eyes, Ian has always been a soft-hearted businessman, it's really rare to take in someone like Zhong Haotian.

"Forget it, it hurts one's self-esteem." Ian shook his head and said.

"What's hurting your self-esteem? It's a fact that he's dumb. It's good for him to get a disability certificate. The government will take care of him. Also, he made a big mistake for you. You can find an excuse not to renew the contract. Don't you Do you want him to drag your firm down?" Although Lu Licheng had a good impression of him before, he also hated people who made big mistakes in business.What he pays attention to is the interests and efficiency of the entire company. Zhong Haotian's efficiency is already a big problem, but now there is such a big mistake that Ian has to stop his work. This kind of person is no longer worth staying in the company.

"Poor Haotian, this matter is over. He has almost handled that matter by himself." Ian waved his hand and said.

"You are just soft-hearted." After finishing speaking, Lu Licheng was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Ian who was running beside him and smiled knowingly, "I think...is he the one who took the blame?"

After hearing this, Ian turned to look at Lu Licheng, speechless for a moment.

"I think you are too kind to him. Well, I don't care about your office affairs." After Lu Licheng finished speaking, he turned and got off the treadmill.

Getting along with Zhong Haotian these days, Lu Licheng still believes in his own eyes. Since Case took over, Zhong Haotian can be said to be quite responsible, and his efficiency is very satisfactory.Although he often finds it troublesome, he likes the results very much.He wondered how such a person could make a major mistake.Just because Ian was his old classmate, I didn't think too much from his perspective.Seeing that Ian was so protective of Zhong Haotian who made a mistake, he immediately saw that the matter was not that simple.Apart from taking the blame for others, I can't think of any other reason.Seeing Ian's reaction, it was already obvious.

Back at the hotel, Lu Licheng turned on the computer to look for files, and saw the scanned document that Zhong Haotian emailed to him.Double-click to open the file, and the clear drawings are carefully marked with the handwritten descriptions of Zhong Haotian.Recalling the first time I saw Zhong Haotian, it was raining outside, and when he walked into my line of sight, there was a chill from the outside, and the rain ran down his hair along his cheeks, but he stood straight in front of him without showing any embarrassment.He knew why Zhong Haotian took the blame, because he couldn't afford to lose this job.This is the reality, no matter how much talent you have or how hard you work, once you lose the basic condition of competition, you can only be a weak person at the mercy of others.

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was choking.Zhong Haotian was sitting in the emergency room, receiving disinfection and bandaging from the doctor.

"Don't touch the water when you go home, and change the medicine in two days." The doctor instructed.

Zhong Haotian nodded, walked out of the emergency room and prepared to take the bus home.

Mrs. Ma's house was flooded with water because of the plumbing problem.The wooden floor on the ground floor was completely scrapped, and it needed to be pried open to reinstall the water pipes and arrange the floor.But it's not easy to pry open the entire bottom floor, and you need to find an engineering team. Ian sent people, but only got two people, and they were all temporary laborers.

He knew that Ian was doing a full set of plays, and Ian was doing it for everyone in the firm. He could only pry open the rotten wooden boards by himself. While prying the board, a piece of wood accidentally stuck into his hand, and blood flowed immediately.If it weren't for the serious injury, Mrs. Ma, who was watching coldly, would never let him go to the hospital.

"The physical disability may be due to retribution." Recalling what Mrs. Ma said to him when he apologized, he could only bow deeply to express his apology.In fact, she was right.Zhong Haotian himself thinks that this is the retribution for what he did before, and he has failed too many people's hearts.It seems that for a while, I can't drive.Zhong Haotian only thought that from tomorrow onwards, he would have to leave the house an hour earlier, and An An simply left it at Teacher Song's house next door. During these days, he left early and returned late, so it would be better to entrust all the children to Teacher Song. Of course, he paid a sum of money for them.In a few days, it will be An An's birthday. He may not have time to celebrate An An's birthday, but he has already ordered a big cake for Mr. Song to accompany An An.

Except for An An, what makes him most uncomfortable is that all his cases have been stopped by the firm.Those clients who received the email naturally knew it, and changed designers one after another.With little savings, I don't know if he can survive until the day the firm resumes his work.The money saved for An An can't be moved no matter what.

When I got home late at night, I was too tired to lift my spirits, and when I opened my mailbox, I found a new email—it was from Lu Licheng.The letter is very simple, saying that there is no need to change designers.Zhong Haotian couldn't believe it was true, he thought that the first person who wanted to change him was Lu Licheng.Unexpectedly, he was willing to continue to use himself.To Lu Licheng, Zhong Haotian felt an indescribable gratitude for him still trusting him.
