reprieve

There is a not-so-obvious stain on the seat, which is the imprint left by the water stains. At first glance, it looks like a kitten with teeth and claws.

The car shared by colleagues in the company is cleaned once a week or two, and it is not very clean.

Huaian was probably really uncomfortable. Before driving, she had carefully cleaned the driver's seat. At this moment, there was a palm-sized smudge less than [-] centimeters away from her, so she turned a blind eye.

Sui Ran looked at it for a few seconds, then found a wet towel to wipe.

She wiped intently, maybe a little too hard.

A large wet, reflective smear of water rubbed against the surface of the dark leather transformed the recognizable kitten beyond recognition.

Finally, Sui Ran wiped it with a dry paper towel and asked, "Where is Mr. Huai planning to go?"

"Go back to the city."

Huai An turned his head, his eyes and voice were as gentle as ever, and he chose to ignore her long-time evasive silence.

Sui Ran switched to the driver's seat, adjusted the seat and the rear view mirrors on both sides, looked at Huai'an with closed eyes and rested his mind from the rear view mirror, and said with a smile: "I drive very slowly, President Huai will take care of you."

There was a "hmm" sound from the back, and there was no more movement.

The road to the expressway is unimpeded, but when approaching the Haicheng Ring Elevated Road, the navigation route gradually turns yellow and red, reaching the evening peak.

Once again, "The traffic is congested 500 meters ahead, and the estimated travel time is 13 minutes." Sui Ran lowered the volume of the earphones and said, "Mr. Sang asked me why I left my job. There is a reason... The former supervisor mentioned it in the Huanyu Building, you I know. Is there any other reason you are interested in knowing?"

Huai An sat up straighter, and when the eyes of the two met in the rearview mirror, she nodded.

"Four or five months before I left, probably in March, our team—the team led by Hai Cheng, a newcomer arrived, a man."

In the narration with Huai'an, Sui Ran withdrew Liang Qian's name and replaced it with "new colleague".

Liang Qian was 26 and 1.8 years old at the time. Objectively speaking, his skin was considered upright. He was about [-] meters tall and had a fair complexion, unlike a salesman who was exposed to the wind and sun all year round.When he first joined the company, Liang Qian also cleaned up every day. He usually responded quickly to anyone who raised any questions in the group, making him feel warm and thoughtful.

In the first month, Sui Ran vaguely thought, this boy is quite likable.

Most of the front-line business consultants in Haidong Region are boys, and there are only seven or eight girls among the six NO.70 people.

Sui Ran was still very young at that time. Like Yao Ruo now, he had not been out of school for a long time. He was not deeply involved in the world, he was ignorant, and he was not too wary of his colleagues.

It wasn't until Liang Qian joined the job for a month and a half that she noticed the abnormality.

It was early summer, and most male and female colleagues put on single clothes, and those who were not heat-resistant simply changed into short sleeves or rolled up their sleeves.

That Friday, after the party, a girl from the next group came out of the conference room and berated Liang Qian semi-publicly, saying excitedly, "Don't make a fuss, okay!?"

Liang Qian raised his hands up, looking puzzled and confused: "I don't have any."

Colleagues who walked out of the conference room paid attention to the two. The girl's face was flushed, but she didn't say anything loudly under the gaze of many people. She wiped her arm with a tissue and cursed softly: "Shameless!"

"Just kidding." Liang Qian stepped back with his hands raised, and whispered to other male colleagues with a playful smile, "Hey, girls nowadays can't afford to joke."

The male colleagues chuckled.

Sui Ran saw the girl glaring at Liang Qian angrily, and also saw her gnashing her teeth, but didn't think much about it.

At that time, she seldom thought about it—because of her sexual orientation, her gender consciousness was not clear.

A few days later, Sui Ran went to discuss a contract with an owner whom he had never contacted before. Liang Qian said that he was familiar with the owner and volunteered to accompany him.

The owner is a gentle and intellectual woman in her thirties. When the two parties meet, Sui Ran and the owner walk side by side, while Liang Qian lags behind.

After walking for a while, Sui Ran turned around inadvertently, and found that Liang Qian had pulled his hands out of his belt, then lifted his trouser waist, and smiled at her.

That smile gave Sui Ran a very strange feeling, and she shivered abruptly on a day of more than 30 degrees.

From then on, Sui Ran suddenly tightened the string of "gender consciousness".

Colleagues in the same company are just a kind of social identity, and on top of that, there are essential differences between men and women.

After paying attention, she found that Liang Qian liked to have physical contact with girls, and was used to approaching girls when talking. If the other party didn't express disgust or didn't pay attention, he would wrap his arms around the other's shoulders and touch the other's skin further.

Having seen it more than three times, Sui Ran mentioned Liang Qian's inappropriate behavior to Hai Cheng.

Haicheng didn't take it seriously at all: "If you don't like him doing this, just tell him. If he wants to touch you, you can hit him back. Boys, they like to make some light-hearted jokes and bully you little girls."

Haicheng thought it was just a "joke".

She used "you".

Sui Ran was sure for no reason that Liang Qian would definitely not mess around with Haicheng, and he wouldn't even mess around with other girls in front of her.

Boys also have different targets for joking.

It is "you little girls" who bully.

What really made Sui Ran unbearable to the point where he got angry at Hai Cheng happened at the end of summer.

There is a group meeting in the small conference room, Hai Cheng is at one end of the square table, Liang Qian is on her right, and Sui Ran is at the other end of the square table.

In the middle of the meeting, Liang Qian moved his chair, Sui Ran didn't pay attention at first, she shifted her gaze after Liang Qian looked at her several times for no reason.

Then she saw Liang Qian with his legs crossed and his hands in his pockets constantly moving.

Sui Ran's scalp exploded - Liang Qian was facing her.

She immediately threw away the pen and left the conference room, Haicheng called her, but she didn't look back.

One or two minutes later, Haicheng came out and asked her what happened.

Sui Ran couldn't describe the situation at all, she finished speaking incoherently, but Hai Cheng was very impatient: "Then you can sit in another seat. It's a meeting, what does it look like when you throw something like that, can you give me some?" Have you lost your face?"

She asked Sui Ran to go home first, saying that we would talk about it later.

After that, Sui Ran tried to avoid contact with Liang Qian, and waited for a week before Hai Cheng came to look for her, so she took the initiative to find Hai Cheng.

However, Hai Cheng kept talking about him from left to right.At one time, it was said that the boys may not pay attention to their image if they are careless and careless. At another time, it was said that Liang Qian had a big project in his hand, and her making such a fuss would affect the performance progress of the entire group.

Disappointment with a person is sometimes bit by bit, and sometimes it is an instant.

For Haicheng, both are applicable.

"The day after I finished talking with Haicheng, she assigned me a lead—it was a client with a huge bid, and she could retire immediately after completing the order. I don't know if she was out of compensation or what, anyway, the first She also went to an interview with a client." Sui Ran shook her head, "The client, Haicheng and I call him Boss N."

Boss N is a southerner. He is not tall and wears casual clothes, but he has a demeanor, and his temperament fits the general definition of a successful man.

The first exchange lasted all morning, and Sui Ran had a general understanding of his company.

Boss N is one of the first batch to switch from hotels to mid-to-low-end long-term rental apartments. It is earlier than several major domestic hotel brands such as Huaqian and Bolang, and the field is more refined.

At that time, long-term rental apartments were still a new concept in first-tier cities, at least to Sui Ran.

In the morning communication, Boss N talked about a lot of industry information, mentioned the cooperation with the official, and showed his personal and company background.

Even looking back now, Sui Ran still feels that there was a lot of dry stuff in that exchange, which opened a door for her, allowing her to get in touch with a wider world.

Therefore, she was very concerned about the cooperation with Boss N, and she was very cautious. During that time, she did a lot of research.

"One day, a colleague recommended a new project to me. I thought it was very suitable for Boss N's needs, so I asked Boss N to inspect it. But when the appointment came, my colleague couldn't go because of something, so I was the only one in Boss N's car. .”

"We had a good chat in the car, I think so. My colleagues on the project have been staring at it for more than half a year. After contacting Boss N, we confirmed the project. Afterwards, we went through several links with the owner and communicated with the official department. The bid for land use change. Of course, the main work is to be coordinated by the owner, and our intermediary is to verify and verify."

The research report she brought with her was more than 100 pages long, all of which she worked overtime.

"Boss N praised me, saying that I am serious and meticulous in my work, and said that he wanted to have a deeper chat before inspecting the project. I didn't think much about it."

Sui Ran really didn't think much about it.

Can't think of that anyway.

Boss N parked her car downstairs in a hotel chain, and she even asked, "Is the office here?"

The other party took out his ID card while locking the car, and pointed in the direction of the lobby: "Go inside and wait for me."

Sui Ran reacted.

But she couldn't think of what to do.

She was in a mess, the sun was scorching, and her hands were so cold that her fingerprints could not be recognized.

Coincidentally, Ruan Shuo sent her a message at that time, asking her to meet up sometime.Sui Ran gave Ruan Shuo her number and asked her to call and discuss in detail.

After making an appointment on the phone for an hour, Sui Ran bid farewell to Boss N as tactfully as possible, even apologetically.

I never contacted him again after that.

Boss N sent her a lot of messages, showing his luxury cars and mansions, and issued a scanned version of the carte blanche agreement—usually, such an agreement means that the client belongs to someone from an intermediary agency, It means that as long as a deal is reached in the future, Sui Ran can claim to charge a commission.

The conditions given by the other party are not unfavorable.

But the meaning behind it is also self-evident.

Sui Ran ignored them all.

After hanging him out for a few days, probably seeing that she didn't respond, Boss N came to his senses and sent a message like this: "Xiao Sui, how is that project going? Why didn't I see you introduce the progress later? Last time you had I left in a hurry and didn't contact me afterwards. Did you misunderstand me?"

Sui Ran hesitated for a long time, and decided to go straight, asking: "Why do you want to go to the hotel?"

Boss N sent a series of rose and red emojis, quickly withdrawn, and changed a message: "The hotel is convenient for talking about things. We talk about things and open a room at the nearest hotel. Be quiet. If you mind, I will pay more attention to it in the future." [呲牙]」

After that half a day, Sui Ran's brows never loosened.

Rose and color are juxtaposed, implying is equal to expressing.

But she can't block the company's customers, Zhaoyue's dedicated customer service team will return to visit customers from time to time.

There is pressure on performance, and service scores are also given by customers. Below a certain score has a great impact on promotion.

So even if she knew that Boss N was the kind of male client who would take advantage of the convenience of her work, she couldn't prove to her superiors—and Haicheng—that the client had bad intentions and was not a good thing.

Will Haicheng say that you are overthinking, or that you sacrificed a bit for the sake of performance?

"Sometimes I feel that there is no technical threshold in our industry, and we can only rely on services to strive for performance." Sui Ran said, "To put it bluntly, customers and service providers are naturally not equal, and the customer will always hold the initiative."

The car enters the urban area and merges into the endless river of lights.

Missing a green light and facing a long 99-second red light, Sui Ran pulled up the handbrake and pressed the window lift button.

The noise flooded into the car in an instant.

"I like you...you." Sui Ran whispered, "You can also understand it as admiration."

She didn't know if Huai'an could hear it, it was better not to hear it.

To this day, she still feels that she was very lucky to meet Huai'an at the beginning of her career.

Although the process is very hard, the trial can be called the difficulty of hell.But being able to cooperate with Huai'an on a complete project and get her approval, the harvest is far greater than the effort, and a lot of things learned are enough to benefit a lifetime.

For example, in the second half of her career in the previous stage, she rarely encountered situations that she could not cope with.Even if you feel tricky occasionally, you can quickly change your mind and face it calmly.

Is there a customer who is more difficult to serve than Huai'an?

No.

Three seconds counted down at the red light, Sui Ran raised the car window, "Next, I will transfer your project to a colleague, and she will mainly follow up."

Huaian was noncommittal.

"I will keep an eye on the details." Sui Ran immediately added, "Although this colleague is young, she is very careful and down-to-earth. She is familiar with both sides of the Haidong and Haixi Rivers. I will continue to communicate with her in the future. In other words, the teamwork of our company is still very good.”

……

After sending Huai'an to Binjiangyuan, Sui Ran sent a message to Yao Ruo in the underground garage, asking how many clients she has been following recently.

Yao Ruohui has one or two small clients who are not very stable.

Her qualifications are still young, and she will not assign too many clues.

Sui Ran pushed Yao Ruo's business card to Huai'an, leaving a message: "After resuming work, I have received your support and benefited a lot. Thank you."

After sending the message, she didn't drive immediately, and watched the numbers on the top of the screen jump again and again until the screen dimmed and went out.

Then lights up -

Sui Ran hurriedly put on the earphones and tapped to answer.

"Manager Sui." Huai'an's tone was calm, which seemed to follow the scriptures, "You know our company's needs best. If you change the intermediary contact person rashly, the time and labor costs are too high. I don't think it is necessary."

"Ah."

"I just summed up the general situation to Fiona, the administrative director of our company, and she is fully responsible. I pushed your business card to her. Pay attention to the verification information."

"Okay." Sui Ran switched to the WeChat interface, and there was a small red dot in the address book.

"From the day after tomorrow, I will be on a business trip for two months... at least one month, to go abroad." There were two or three crisp and even rhythmic sounds from the opposite side, like knuckles tapping on a wooden table, "During this period, I hope that Manager Sui can assist Fiona Complete branch preparatory work."

"Oh, fine. I'll do my best."

"Thank you."

The call should be here to say goodbye to each other and a friendly farewell.

But no one offered to hang up.

After a long time, the other person coughed lightly, and the voice came again: "Sorry, I didn't think carefully."

Sui Ran shook her head, even though she soon realized that the other side couldn't see, she didn't translate into words.

Just couldn't help laughing.

She knew that Huai'an had understood the intention of the two past events she told.

And understand the deeper meaning.

Before deciding to tell the past, Sui Ran was uneasy, because the other party kept silent for a long time, and she was also worried that the other party would become angry from embarrassment.

Later she thought, someone else would, but Huai An wouldn't—she hoped, she firmly believed.

The sensor lights in the underground garage turned to energy-saving mode one by one, and the darkness from far and near swallowed up the sound and the surging emotions.

The earphones completely cut off the world, and only accommodated the light and depressed breathing on the other side.

"Then..." Huai'an broke the silence with two words, and then there was no words for a long time.

The fence is still there, and both sides still keep their respective hole cards. The other side seems to be at a loss as to what to say, Sui Ran didn't press the question, and when there was another knocking sound without rhythm from the other side, she opened her mouth:

"Waiting for your return."

"it is good."

Sui Ran heard the other party sigh, she turned on the car lights, and woke up the sensor lights on the other side, almost at the same time, a bright smile flashed in her mind.

"wait me back."

The positioning of this article is realistic, that is, there is no overlord, no infinite favor.

Some of the situations that Sui encountered in his work were actually encountered by himself, or the sources were real.

There are subtle and straightforward bullying in the workplace, and many of them may not be understood by young people.

Various forms of harassment abound. If you have just entered the workplace or have not reached a certain level of qualifications, you can only knock your teeth and swallow your blood if you suffer any grievances.

In the article, from the very beginning, the relationship between the two was not equal. No matter how smooth and rainy Mr. Huai was, the difference in status was still on the surface.

If Mr. Huai's order is completed, will there be any gossip in the company? You can let others say that you are doing well and sitting upright, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.

But everyone speaks for themselves.

And, what happens in an unequal relationship?

One side dominates most of the time, and the other side mostly passively accepts.

This kind of relationship will not last, let alone long-term-only refers to the current character.

Therefore, this potential contradiction must be faced openly.

Some students mentioned that Mr. Huai's back post——

Does Huai always post backwards?I personally don't think so.

Because liking has several levels and dimensions.

I like you and I hope to do my best to make you happy every day.

I like you and I hope you have a better future even without me.

I like you, I must be with you, if not, I will take revenge on the society.

I like you, I hope to have you in my future, if not, I sincerely wish you.
