"Why did you come back?"

Xu Chetong stood at the door of the office, looking at Wei Nan calmly.

Holding the mouse in hand, Wei Nan grinned at him, "Guess?"

Xu Chetong didn't know how to guess, he said "Oh" and closed the office door for Wei Nan.

It seemed to hear Wei Nan's voice squeezed out from the crack of the door, "How about you guess it for the sake of saving face? I'm your boss, hey hey..."

Feeling that this is Wei Nan, Xu Chetong couldn't help but smile.

Starting today, the second department of their market blew the clarion call to work overtime.

The company respects the "996" system, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, six days a week.

In order not to violate the labor law, there are no hard and fast rules.But once he worked overtime, he would not give up until midnight.

Although Xu Chetong was an assistant, Wei Nan stayed and worked overtime, so he had no reason to leave early.

In fact, he was one of the employees in the marketing department before.

Previously, due to the "wisdom eye" of a certain supervisor, Xu Chetong was called up to be an assistant, and he also applied for a salary increase for him if the project was profitable. As a result, within three months, let alone profitable projects, he messed up the profitable projects. He failed and was fired from the company.

Since then, Xu Chetong has been working as an assistant, and the salary increase is nowhere in sight, and because of the poor performance of the department, there is no plan to transfer him back to his original position.

Their department had been in chaos for too long before, and several supervisors were useless at all, and the project was a mess in the end.

But now the feeling is completely different, no matter what others think, Xu Chetong obviously has this feeling.

Throughout the working day of the week, the whole team followed Wei Nan to catch up with the work progress.But busy is busy, but the department is not as lifeless as before.

The dark circles under Xu Chetong's eyes that had been hard to get rid of after a night's sleep before were firmly entrenched in his eyes after working overtime continuously.

This matter naturally attracted the attention of the branch next door in the same department.

Although everyone is a colleague in the market, but divided into three divisions, everyone is a friend and a competitor.

There was an employee from the first department who came to visit before. This person was born familiar, and he was also familiar with their colleagues from the second department.He saw that the second department was so busy every day that he didn't touch the ground, so he came over to join in the fun, and asked the new supervisor they had never seen before.

So when the employee was standing at the bridge and knocking on the table with his colleagues, he didn't know that it was Wei Nan who was standing by the table and talking.

He also asked in front of Wei Nan: "Is your new supervisor forcing you to work overtime every day? Isn't it a bit inhumane?"

The colleague sat at the desk with an awkward yet polite smile, and glanced at Wei Nan's face.

Wei Nan stood up straight and looked at the employees of the first department next door, and said with a smile, "Do you want to come to our second department?"

One has been ranked first in the quarterly summary for the past half a year.People from the first part have an innate sense of superiority when they come out, so when asked this question, the other party looked as if offended, and said, "Why am I coming to the second part?"

"Work overtime." Wei Nan said, "Don't you care about our department?"

It was only then that the person in the first part realized who he was talking to, but he stretched out his hand calmly and said, "This must be Director Wei, hello."

"Hello." Wei Nan said with a smile, "Please wait for a while until I finish talking with my colleagues about work."

"I'm fine, just come and take a look." The person from the first part turned around and ran away after speaking.

The colleague left behind looked at Wei Nan in embarrassment, with "I'm not a traitor, I don't know anything" written all over his face, please don't doubt me.

I only saw Wei Nan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile that it's all right, let's finish the work first, I never interfere with your private friendship, it's all right.

Xu Chetong watched the incident the whole time, with a feeling of "a child growing up".

In the past, Wei Nan's small group still had a lot of thoughts...

Perhaps it was because of his absence for nearly seven years that Xu Chetong felt that he had such an idea.

But that's all, Xu Chetong didn't think he would have any other feelings for Wei Nan.The old relationship is over and now they are just colleagues.

It was hard to survive until Friday, and we couldn't escape working overtime at night, but everyone felt relieved.

The work progress, which was seriously delayed before, is now being gradually caught up under Wei Nan's management.As Wei Nan said, they don't expect to make a comeback in this year's Q1 meeting, but at least they have to convince the company of their performance.

Xu Chetong sat at the desk and stretched a little. At the moment, Wei Nan was on the phone in the office, and his voice could be heard intermittently.

The Americano coffee that was just brought in must have not been finished. Xu Chetong clearly remembered that Wei Nan didn't drink coffee in the past. He said it was bad, and his hands shook after drinking too much.

He also didn't know what happened to make him change his habits. Xu Chetong was rarely curious, so he didn't intend to investigate.

Just thinking about it, the phone on the table buzzed.

The name that lit up on the screen of the mobile phone was the word "Headhunter". Xu Chetong blinked, then quickly picked up the mobile phone and walked to the staff lounge.

It was not afternoon tea time, and the staff lounge was empty.

Xu Chetong stood by the window and answered the phone, "Hello? Hey...why are you calling me at this hour?"

A lively voice came from the phone, "Ah Xu!"

It was Song Mo, Xu Chetong's classmate and friend in college.

Xu Chetong was still very happy to hear his voice, and asked with a smile, "What do you need from me?"

Song Mo snorted, "I have to have something to do? Ah yes... How about it? Are you free on the weekend? Let's meet for dinner."

"You know I'm only free on Sundays." Xu Chetong rested his arms on the window sill, hanging down the wind that leaked in from the window.

Song Mo said: "I know, so I made a reservation for the restaurant on Sunday, and I will watch a movie in the afternoon. I heard that you have changed a supervisor. How is this person? You won't even exploit your Sunday, right?"

Xu Chetong thought to himself that he really deserves to be Song Mo, who even knows this.

But he said, "You know what? The new supervisor is Wei Nan."

On the phone, there was silence. Xu Chetong was a little strange. He glanced at the phone, and the signal was full.

After listening to the phone again, Song Mo finally said, "Is that Wei Nan? I want to hear this name from you, and there should be no one else."

Xu Chetong stood there with one hand hanging down from the window sill, with a calm expression on his face, and said, "Yes, it's 'that' Wei Nan."

Song Mo and Wei Nan are not classmates, they are university alumni.Xu Chetong knew him because after Wei Nan went abroad, there was a vacant bed in their dormitory, and it happened that Song Mo applied to live on campus from day school, so he was allowed to live in it.

In just two days, Song Mo became acquainted with all three people in the dormitory, and had the best relationship with Xu Chetong.

Song Mo knew a lot about Wei Nan.

When Xu Chetong learned that Wei Nan applied for studying abroad, he was depressed for a period of time, and it was Song Mo who walked out with him.

Xu Chetong has always been very grateful to Song Mo, and the two of them have become best friends since then. Even if they work in different fields after graduation, they are still as close as before.

This time when Wei Nan came back, Xu Chetong would never have forgotten to tell Song Mo about it if he hadn't been too busy with work.

Xu Chetong said: "The exploitation is a bit exaggerated, but you know that if our department doesn't come up with something, we may be laid off."

"Then you also need to know." Song Mo said briskly, "If you are laid off, don't be afraid. I will recommend a job for you. The annual salary will definitely be higher than now, and it will be easier than it is now. I can give you a guarantee. If this job It’s not good, I’ll change it for you again, years of headhunting are not for nothing, Xu, how is it? Are you moved?”

Xu Chetong laughed out loud, jokingly perfunctory, "Yes, yes, I'm so excited."

"Hey, I'm serious." Song Mo also said, "It's absolutely fine if you can't find me to support you."

Xu Chetong didn't take his words seriously at all. He smiled and said, "Forget it. Is the money I earn enough for you to pay off your mortgage? I understand. If one day I really don't want to continue working, I will definitely ask you to help me with major work issues."

Song Mo's tone was full of regret, "All right."

Just before hanging up the phone, Song Mo said, "Then make sure we meet on Sunday!"

"As long as you don't work overtime, it's fine." Xu Chetong said, "I'll call you before I get off work today, just in case..."

"It's Friday and you can't be sure?" Song Mo objected, "How dare you say he's not exploiting?"

"You have feelings for him." Xu Chetong said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm already fine."

He heard Song Mo sigh softly on the phone, but said to him in a cheerful tone: "Okay, that's fine, I'll wait for your call."

When Xu Chetong came out of the lounge, he saw Wei Nan standing in front of the office area talking.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense." Wei Nan glanced at Xu Chetong who was coming, "I'm going on a short business trip this weekend, let me see who is so lucky to go on a business trip with me?"

As soon as the words finished, Wei Nan's hand lightly fell on Xu Chetong's shoulder, "It's just you, my assistant."

Xu Chetong looked at him, "Huh?"
