you are a bit arrogant

"Dong dong." Someone knocked on the glass door unexpectedly from the outside.

Zhou Shengyuan stopped the hand that was about to press the voice call button, and looked towards the door.

I saw the only completely transparent glass door, a short man with a broad body was waving at him with a naive smile.

Zhou Shengyuan exited the interface, turned off the phone and put it in his pocket, got up quickly and walked over with a smile on his lips, and took the lead to push open the door and said, "Director Pan, you are here."

"Yes, Shengyuan." Pan Deming kept his hands behind his back as usual, with a beer belly, several layers of flesh on his chin, his broad and fat body looked naive and smiling.

He stretched out an equally fat hand and patted Zhou Shengyuan's shoulder, and then walked in with a smile.

Zhou Shengyuan smiled and let go of the door to close automatically, and followed politely. When Pan Deming sat down, he went to the water dispenser in the corner and poured water from a paper cup, and brought it to Pan Deming himself.

As a senior engineer, Zhou Shengyuan has an independent office and assistants, and has just taken over a new team.

Pan Deming took the water with a smile, and after looking at the office, he said in a complimenting tone: "Sure enough, flowers are more beautiful with flowers, and people are more delicate with flowers. With you, this office will be different in an instant , which symbolizes a bright future."

Zhou Shengyuan sat down next to him, also smiling, and said with some kindness and respect: "Director Pan, it's a great honor to join your company."

"Hey Shengyuan, why are you being polite to me?" Pan Deming waved his palm, with the confidence of someone who has been in power for many years, but also generous and appreciative, "Your ability is here, and you will be able to display your talent well if you join our company !"

Zhou Shengyuan laughed along, neither affirming nor denying, but also praised Pan Deming in the same way as playing football.

Pan Deming was the one who brought Zhou Shengyuan into this state-owned company.Usually this kind of company is not capable only, but also needs contacts, and Zhou Shengyuan is a talent with great ability, so when Pan Deming invited him, Zhou Shengyuan readily agreed.

In the end, he had to come back. Since this was the case, Zhou Shengyuan had no reason to refuse a job with a suitable profession and good salary.

Pan Deming has always taken good care of Zhou Shengyuan, and looked at him with kindness and kindness. He is in charge of talent introduction, and he didn't have much professional communication with Zhou Shengyuan, but he still got along well, but he didn't know what he was here for now.

In the morning when Zhou Shengyuan went to work, he took care of everything in advance. Logically, Zhou Shengyuan should treat him to a meal as a thank you.

As the two came and went, Pan Deming continued to speak kindly: "Are you familiar with the company?"

Zhou Shengyuan smiled and nodded: "I also have to thank you, director, for specially arranging Xiao Zhou to familiarize me with it. I have already gotten to know almost everything, and I have met everyone in the team."

Pan Deming nodded affirmatively, and said approvingly: "It's good if you are familiar with it, and don't talk about a director. Although I am ten years older than you, I still appreciate you very much. You can just call me brother."

"No no no, how dare you do that, you are much more senior than me, it would be disrespectful for me to call you brother." Zhou Shengyuan waved his hands repeatedly, frowned and refused, with a regretful expression on his face.

Anyway, after working for so many years, even though Zhou Shengyuan was tired of coping with the world, he could still see these polite words. While practicing Tai Chi, he waited for Pan Deming to get to the point.

Sure enough, after complimenting each other first, and then being polite, Pan Deming finally said:

"Sheng Yuan, there is something I still need to tell you."

He frowned, showing a worried and worried look, and said with some hesitation:

"It's not very good to talk about this matter. After all, public institutions still focus on work, but we are not newcomers anymore, don't you think so?"

Zhou Shengyuan straightened his waist, put on an attitude of being open-minded and receptive, and said sincerely: "Yes, please tell me, Director."

"I don't treat you as an outsider anymore, so I'll just say it straight," Zhou Shengyuan's attitude made Pan Deming very helpful, and he continued, "You are a key talent, not only me, but Manager Hong and the others value you very much. Therefore Ah, originally at noon today, we wanted to have dinner with some of your newly introduced talents, so as to get to know each other better, so as to facilitate the development of future work, you said, this is also a good intention, right?"

Having said that, Zhou Shengyuan basically understood why he came here, it was Xingshi who came to ask the crime, he nodded politely and said: "Yes, you are right."

"But when Xiao Zhou came to look for someone at noon today, he couldn't find your person," Pan Deming said earnestly, "The leader's time is also very precious. Although the noon time is a break time, you can move freely, but the leader can't find you." To people, this effect is not very good, right?"

The words had become clear, and it was supposed to be the time when the leader met the newcomers, but he disappeared.He didn't get the slap in the face that should have been given, but he gave the leader a slap in the face instead.

Zhou Shengyuan sneered in his heart, but his face showed a shameful expression: "Yes, yes, you are right about this matter, and it is indeed my fault."

He lowered his head and said apologetically, "Something happened at home at noon. I was in a hurry to go back. I didn't even receive a call from Xiao Zhou. I really shouldn't!"

Showing a sincere apology, he picked up the water glass in front of Pan Deming and held it in front of Pan Deming's eyes: "Director, I'm at fault for this matter, and I'll trouble you to point it out to me, I'll make a note of that."

Seeing Zhou Shengyuan's reaction, Pan Deming took the water and said relievedly: "Don't pay too much attention to it, I just mentioned it to you. After all, the impression left in front of the leader is not good or bad, do you think so?"

Zhou Shengyuan nodded repeatedly, and said again: "But I'm sorry that this is the way it is, how about this, tonight, I invite you to have a meal with Manager Hong as an apology, do you think it's okay?"

Just waiting for this sentence, but Pan Deming still pretended to evade a few times before agreeing: "Shengyuan, Manager Hong and I value you very much. You are capable and considerate in dealing with others. As long as you have this enterprising heart, Work hard, you will have a bright future!"

Zhou Shengyuan got up to send him out, and politely echoed his thanks: "Thank you, Director."

Pan Deming waved his hand and slowed down his pace, but Zhou Shengyuan didn't have a single real meaning in the whole conversation except for the sentence "I invite you to have a meal with Manager Hong".

Looking at Zhou Shengyuan politely opening the door for him with his hands behind his back, Pan Deming thought more deeply.It would be a good thing if he could be won over, but Zhou Shengyuan's attitude was a bit unbearable, he was polite, he didn't say a word, but he didn't say a word to the point, they were all things that should be done.

He secretly thought, Zhou Shengyuan is a good move, but which side's move will have to be seen later.

Zhou Shengyuan had a polite and kind smile on his face, and it gradually dissipated when Pan Deming walked away.

He turned back and sat back on his chair, looking out the window.

There are no fools in the workplace, let alone such a company. Zhou Shengyuan knows what Pan Deming has in mind. He looks like a Maitreya Buddha with a smile, but in fact he is a thousand-year-old fox with a knife hidden in his smile.It was only his first day in the company, and he was eager to get him to stand in line.

The two of you come and go with the same skills, but Pan Deming didn't see anything when he probed Zhou Shengyuan's tone. This kind of thing will definitely not happen less in the future.

Zhou Shengyuan pinched his eyebrows a little irritably. He had foreseen all this since he decided to enter this company, and he was already prepared not to participate in any factional struggles.But as long as there are people, there will be various conflicts of interest.

Not to mention such a fat place.When pies fall from the sky, whoever falls on the head, everyone around will be jealous.Really annoying.

He managed to straighten his back with some effort, pulled himself up with the swivel chair to the window with a little force with his fingertips, and then took out his cell phone.

After not replying to the message for a long time, all kinds of strange conjectures have popped up on Liu Yuan's side, but now he is not in the mood to reply.

He directly blocked Liu Yuan's WeChat, then he clicked on the call page, pressed a few keys and dialed a number.

It took a while to pick it up, and then came a lazy "Hello".

Zhou Shengyuan cleared his throat, and said in a deliberately soft voice: "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

"In the room," Qin Xiao lazily replied, "Why are you calling again, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay." Zhou Shengyuan put his fingertips lightly on the suit pants, looked at the busy traffic outside the window, and changed his words: "It's a little thing, a small thing."

"Oh, tell me." There was a rustling sound from the other end. It should be that Qin Xiao changed his position or sat down directly.

Listening to the voice, Zhou Shengyuan said: "I have something to do at night, and I will be home very late, and you have to settle the dinner yourself."

"Oh." Qin Xiao replied coldly.

Both ends of the receiver fell silent, Zhou Shengyuan didn't know what to say for a while, his eyes caught a glimpse of the people not far away from the office, some melancholy breath rose from the bottom of his heart, and when he was about to hang up the phone, a voice came from Qin Xiao's side.

"Boss Zhou, you have to work overtime on the first day of work. It seems that it is not easy for you to make money." Qin Xiao's voice was lazy, and even the teasing was casual, Zhou Shengyuan's mouth curled up, and he Continuing:

"Yeah, I used to raise myself, just work and paddle, but now I have to raise a child, so I have to work overtime."

Qin Xiao sneered obviously, and said: "Raise a child to guard against old age, if you work harder now, you will save more for your pension in the future!"

It is estimated that "raising children for old age" hit Zhou Shengyuan's joke, and he burst out laughing.The two had long since lost the tense atmosphere they had at the beginning, father and son had become a common point of jokes, Qin Xiao hated Uncle Zhou Shengyuan, Zhou Shengyuan laughed at Qin Xiao the child, the two laughed and laughed, neither could do without the other.

When Zhou Shengyuan finished laughing, Qin Xiao suddenly said: "I said, Boss Zhou, how many times have you called me on your first day at work? You even asked someone to bring me out to have dinner with you at noon. mean?"

It’s okay not to talk about this episode, but when it comes to this, the discomfort and depression just now began to come up again, Zhou Shengyuan suppressed it, and was about to give Qin Xiao a good lecture, when Qin Xiao said slowly and without a tone :

"Why, isn't it like three autumns every day if you don't see each other, and you miss me as a handsome guy after a few minutes?"

After finishing speaking, Qin Xiao let out a burst of laughter, making himself sick to the core.
