Relying on one's own hair

The next morning, when Qiao Ran finished his breakfast and put it on the table, Valentine pushed a box to his hand, "This is for you."

Qiao Ran opened it and saw that it was a new silver-white mobile phone, very beautiful, and it seemed to be the same model as the black one used by Valentine.If he remembers correctly, the market price is about tens of thousands.

He quickly pushed the box back, "No, it's too expensive, I can't afford it."

Qiao Ran's mobile phone was smashed by Gordon's reticulated python last night. He originally planned to buy one after get off work today, and the one at around 2000 points would be enough.

The last time I went to C City to visit Grandma Mary spent almost [-] in three days, but with the [-] reward from the nursing home and the [-] from Andrew, Qiao Ran now has a total of [-] to [-] in his account. Biggest money ever owned.Even so, tens of thousands of mobile phones are still far beyond his consumption concept.

Van Lundin said without any room for maneuver: "This is something I don't use, if you don't want it, just throw it away."

The housekeeping robot R7 caught the keyword, slid over immediately, opened the garbage collection processor in its abdomen, and said crisply: "Master, please throw it away."

Qiao Ran was really afraid that Fan Lundin's tens of thousands of new mobile phones would be ruined by raising his hand, so he quickly grabbed the box in his hand, "Yes, I want it!"

I have to say that there is a reason why you are expensive. The new mobile phone is not only beautiful in appearance, but also powerful in function.Qiao Ran couldn't bear to put it down while eating, and even ordered a protective case online so that she wouldn't accidentally knock her new phone down.

After dinner, Fan Lundin sent Qiao Ran to Xinmei, and before he got off the car, he said, "Be careful with people in the future, and call me as soon as you have something."

What happened to Gordon was a lesson, Qiao Ran obediently agreed.In fact, when he was at home, he had already set up Van Lundin's number as one-touch dialing, so he could call it out quickly when needed.

It was still early at this time, and most of the colleagues hadn't come yet, so Qiao Ran went to the nursing home to deliver food after punching in the card.

Dick's confession was rejected yesterday, but today he is still a little bit embarrassed. He didn't even dare to say anything to Qiao Ran, for fear that he would be upset if he said something wrong.

Qiao Ran took the initiative and said, "Dick, I will treat you as always, and I hope you can still treat me as a friend who can talk about everything."

Dick cheered up a little when he heard the words, "Of course! Even though I was rejected by you, I will not give up on myself. From next month, I will go to the kitchen to learn how to cook cold meals, and I will try my best to become the top of the federation. Chef's!"

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Okay, I wish you achieve your goal as soon as possible."

After Qiao Ran returned to Xinmei, Andrew hadn't come yet, and the door of the general manager's office was closed.Because the boss always came late, everyone didn't notice the difference, and they still did their own things in an orderly manner.

Qiao Ran didn't know how Van Lundin would deal with Andrew, but he believed that the sentinel would arrange things properly, so he didn't think too much, and went back to his station to edit the log as usual.

At ten o'clock, Buck told the staff of the freight department to go to the big conference room for a meeting with a serious look on his face.

When Qiao Ran arrived at the big conference room, he saw that it was packed with people, and almost all the more than 200 employees of Xinmei came.

This kind of scene is rare. Qiao Ran has been in the heart for a year. Only at the end of last year did he attend an all-staff meeting. Today is the second time.

Many colleagues found it strange, and there was a lot of discussion. Andrew has not shown up until now, who will hold this meeting?

After a while, a middle-aged man whom no one had seen before walked up to the podium, stood behind the microphone, and scanned the meeting room.Behind them were several tall security guards in uniform who also looked strange, lined up under the stage.

The man has a strong body, standing upright, with a prosthetic eye in one eye socket, but his appearance does not look arrogant, and the originally noisy conference room suddenly fell silent.

Qiao Ran was a little surprised, this man was a sentinel, because squatting beside him was a wolf with gray and black fur, blind in one eye just like its owner, but still very mighty.

In the silence, the sentry said solemnly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jeff. I am a retired soldier of the L8765 Corps. Due to Andrew's serious dereliction of duty during his five years as the general manager of Xinmei, he is now dismissed from his post. Come to take over. Please help me work together in the future to build a better beauty in my heart."

After speaking, Jeff bowed to the audience.

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Andrew is an incompetent and mean-spirited idiot, and the beautiful employees know that well.But this guy is Colonel Gordon's nephew, he has a backer, and Colonel Gordon has a great person behind him, no matter how dissatisfied everyone is with this idiot, they dare not do anything to him, why is he suddenly dismissed from his post now? Yes, many people heard him swearing angrily in the office yesterday afternoon.

Regardless of the reason, it is a good thing that Andrew is leaving, and the new general manager named Jeff seems to be more reliable, so the employees soon applauded to show their support.

"Thank you, everyone. According to the information we collected and the feedback from the employees, the positions of some management personnel have been adjusted accordingly. The details are as follows." Jeff picked up a document and read it.

As soon as the list came out, some people were happy while others were sad.Several senior executives who were formerly pro-Andrew were either demoted or transferred to less rewarding positions, while the mid-level and low-level employees who were recognized as pragmatic and capable and some experienced old employees were promoted.There were also adjustments in the freight department. An old employee who had worked for six years, Dean, replaced Buck as the manager of the freight department. The latter was sent to the warehouse to watch the gate.

The meeting room became lively again for a while, the employees applauded, applauded and cheered, laughing and joking, it was like a party.

The financial manager was dismissed on the spot like Andrew because of embezzlement of public funds to enrich his own pocket. He blushed and shouted in front of the venue: "No, you are slandering and slandering! I want to find Colonel Gordon to complain about you!"

Jeff didn't say a word of nonsense, he just waved his hands, and immediately two new security guards came over, holding down the financial manager from left to right.The rest of the managers who were punished were terrified when they saw this, and they shrank in their seats obediently, not daring to speak out.

Among all the people present, Qiao Ran was one of the few people who were mentally prepared for this situation, but he did not expect such a big change. The beauty in his heart was equivalent to a whole body change. The shot is really ruthless.

"Qiao Ran, an employee of the freight department—" Jeff paused after saying these words, and looked away from the document in his hand to the audience, as if searching for this person in the crowd.

Qiao Ran's heart tightened, why did he mention him?He is neither a management member nor a veteran who has worked for many years!

His stunned expression and black hair and black eyes, which are different from most people, are very obvious among the employees watching the excitement. Jeff's expression fluctuated imperceptibly, and then he continued to read: "I have been working diligently for a year since I joined the company. Practical, with outstanding performance, now adjusted to the assistant of Dean, the manager of the freight department, to assist Dean in completing the performance appraisal and work scheduling of department employees."

Qiao Ran was very surprised, Dean's assistant?Then don't you have to drive to deliver food in the future?

Is this also the arrangement of Valentine?

Thomas, who was sitting next to him, wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately retracted his hand as if he had been bitten by something. He just smiled and said, "Okay, Joe, you got promoted and made a fortune, congratulations!"

The position of an assistant does not sound high, but performance appraisal is very important, and it is directly linked to salary, bonuses and various benefits, so other colleagues from the freight department also gathered around to congratulate Qiao Ran, which made him overwhelmed.It was not until Jeff knocked on the table on the podium to signal silence that everyone sat back in their original positions.

After the meeting was over and he left the meeting room, Qiao Ran was stopped by Nelson in a corner with few people.

Nelson's expression was as stiff as if he was wearing a plastic headgear, and his smile was uglier than crying. He couldn't help apologizing to Qiao Ran: "Joe, I'm sorry, I was all to blame for the lotus root incident last time! But I didn't do it on purpose, I was taken by Andrew. It's crooked, you must not be as knowledgeable as me. How about I invite you to dinner tonight as an apology?"

Now, when Qiao Ran heard someone asking for a meal, she felt apprehensive, and she immediately refused: "No need, you can work hard in the future and don't be perfunctory. I hope the last time about the lotus root will be the last time."

Wiping away his cold sweat, Nelson obediently agreed.

Now that he became an assistant to the manager, Qiao Ran's office seat has been adjusted, from the noisiest position near the door to next to Dean's office at the back. It is spacious and bright, much better than the previous one.

When he was packing office supplies in his original position with his head down, Thomas passed by with a cup of coffee, glanced at him and couldn't help lowering his voice and jokingly said, "Joe, when did you become so fashionable that you actually got tattoos?" .”

Qiao Ran raised her head strangely, "What tattoo? No."

"Then what's that red thing on the back of your neck?"

When Qiao Ran lowered his head just now, Thomas accidentally caught a glimpse of a small red mark on the back of his neck outside the collar of his T-shirt, but he didn't see clearly what it was.

Qiao Ran raised his hand and touched his neck, wondering, "Could it be a mosquito bite?"

"Really? Then this mosquito is quite artistic."

After Thomas made a joke, he walked towards his workstation. The new general manager, Jeff, is serious and pragmatic, and the overall atmosphere of the company is also new. , You have to work hard and strive to make progress.

After packing up her belongings, Qiao Ran went to the bathroom. Remembering what Thomas said just now, she pulled down the neckline of her T-shirt, and then looked sideways at the mirror.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but now he looked in the mirror and found that there were a few light red round spots at the junction of the back of his neck and his back. There were a few small ones on the top and a slightly larger one on the bottom. Only... cat paw prints?

Qiao Ran was very surprised. This "cat paw print" was indeed a bit like the tattoos that young people get nowadays, but he was sure that he had never had one.

Is it really an artistic red envelope created by mosquitoes inadvertently?But that spot feels as smooth as the surrounding skin, it doesn't hurt or itch, and there is no abnormality at all, which is really strange.

At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Jeff, the newly appointed general manager, came in. He happened to see Qiao Ran turning his head to the mirror as if he was pitying himself.

Qiao Ran was so embarrassed, he quickly tidied up the T-shirt, and said politely, "General manager, hello."

"Hello."

Jeff responded, his eyes fell directly on the back of Qiao Ran's neck, his expression slightly shocked.His gray wolf shook its head and tail at Qiao Ran friendly like a big dog, wanting to approach but hesitated to go forward.

Qiao Ran felt itchy when he saw Furry, and reached out to touch Gray Wolf's head, but Gray Wolf jumped back as if being scalded, and hid behind its master.

"..." Qiao Ran's hand froze in mid-air. What's going on? The furry spirits he met before were very close to him, and rushed to ask him to pet him. Why is this gray wolf a little afraid of him?

Jeff immediately said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Joe, my spiritual body is not rejecting you, but a sentinel who respects you."

my sentry?Qiao Ran looked up at the new general manager, not knowing why.
