Dianchi Lake with two bicycles

Chapter 26

The purpose of work is to earn money. Single dogs can use it to buy the materials they need, and married people can use it to support their families. From this perspective, work is not a goal, but a way to achieve goals.Social evolution has given birth to some people who can get money without work. Of course, the definition of work is useless to them. Successors, empty-handed wolves, lazy workers, and so on.When Ge Jun returned to his hometown, his father asked an old friend to help him find a job. People have fear of unknown things and are bored with things that cannot be clearly understood. 20" that articulate boredom.Returning to work after paternity leave, the condition is more serious than the holiday syndrome. He thinks it is a toss made by idlers. Simply put, he has enough rest and does not want to go to work. He is not resting, taking care of his wife and childbirth. Tiredness makes you want to go to work even more.

The work is still easy. Since the year of graduation, Ge Jun has been working in this state-owned enterprise. It is a mining company. It is said that there is an element in it, but according to his conditions, the recruitment conditions of the company back then He complied with all of them. He worked according to the contract. He had a probation for the first year and then became a full-time employee. The contract was signed every eight years, and he received an agreed salary.In the eyes of his family, he doesn't care about his salary at all, which makes Ge Jun somewhat disappointed. Some of his previous assumptions are now shattered, and he hopes that his income will increase, he can cope with various difficulties, and his income will be enough to support his income as the head of the family.Now it seems that he failed to help anyone. On the contrary, after the child was born, the family and parents helped him even more, which made him have some doubts about his work.I work in the office. Since I am a liberal arts student, I am also good at writing materials. However, I gradually discovered that my studies are useless, and I rely too much on Baidu. I am even more disappointed. The director of the office is an old man, very popular, and I will retire immediately. There are two other people, a man and a woman, who came in through nepotism, laborers.At first, I was a little self-reliant and thought that being with them was a lack of knowledge. After a long time, I realized that I was not as knowledgeable as others. For some things, let’s talk about nepotism. It's still the same.Logically speaking, Ge Jun thought, when the old director retires, he must be the one to take over. In a state-owned enterprise, such things are not difficult to understand. It does not mean that he has a stronger relationship than the other two, and the woman is not doing her job properly, looking for a job to pass the time , the man is addicted to games and does not seek to make progress. According to various sources, neither of them will work here for a long time.The old director is an old employee. He has worked in this company for many years. I heard that he was already an office clerk in another branch before this company was reorganized. Later, the current company was reorganized and transferred to work.

It is said that it is a mining company, a large stock company, a branch group, and then a branch company. Ge Jun's current company is a three-tier branch.This kind of engineering company, according to the principle of making profits, is no longer one-sided. Take their company for example, water conservancy, roads, and housing construction. Find a way to get the project, if the qualification is not enough, let the superior company find a way to get it, and continue to work, which often makes him very confused.As for himself, since he is in the office, it is certain to write good materials, but there is one thing that he did not think of in advance, that is, the problem of drinking. He was exhausted physically and mentally, but fortunately his parents and Zhang Xin seemed to understand his difficulties.

In terms of knowledge, these years of work have allowed Ge Jun to know how money comes from, how so many rich people in this place come from, how much money China has invested in infrastructure, and how many bosses are there In the past, when the infrastructure construction was booming, the Fujian people almost controlled all the businesses. They were present in the construction of "Tiegongji" everywhere, which made them a relatively wealthy group. Later, they found that it was too tiring to run around. , when they get older, I don’t want the younger generation to go through the hardships of their older generation. The older generation has done a good job in capital accumulation, and the next generation is of course unwilling to follow the old path, investing in legacy investment, real estate speculators , lived a life of making money with money.It is better to understand mines, direct state-owned property into private property, how much profit is divided privately, that kind of financial route, it will take a lot of time to find an audit company, and sometimes it may not be able to check anything.

There are so many projects that need to be subcontracted layer by layer. Those small bosses used to be employees of the company. Later, they saved some money and relied on their acquaintances to get some small projects among the big projects that the company got. make a fortune.

This day, Ge Jun went to work early. When he arrived at the elevator door, he pressed the floor of his company. When the elevator door opened, he was dumbfounded. A group of black people blocked the door. The agreed plan was divided into two teams, one team blocked the company's gate, and the other blocked the staircase gate, with only one purpose, to prevent anyone from entering or exiting.Ge Jun tried to go in, but failed. Everyone sat quietly on the ground, refusing to give way.

Because Ge Jun has a habit of leaving earlier and later than others, which makes the old director pay more attention to him. In fact, this is not the main reason. After all, the teachers come from the same source. The old director was also a liberal arts student before, so he can chat There are relatively many topics.Naturally, the first thing he thought of was the director. He made a phone call, and then called the general manager to report everything. The purpose was to embarrass the situation out of control.

After reporting everything, Ge Jun tried to talk to them about what went wrong. His first feeling was that it must be a case of migrant workers asking for wages. As he expected, it was the case of migrant workers asking for wages when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Look at the leader, Ge Junyi Thinking it must be the representative, go to negotiate with him:

"What's going on? They blocked the entrance of our company early in the morning. Let's go in first and talk about things.

Don't say it, I've been here a few times, and every time I say this

That won't solve the problem either.

No one wants to solve the problem, give us wages to go home for the holidays, otherwise it will be useless to say anything today

Then you have to tell me the story

Who are you?What do you mean?

I am an employee here

I don't talk to you, it's useless to talk to you

Well, don't talk, you have to let me go to work

No, no one will let you go today"

Ge Jun was right, they had no choice but to wait for the person in charge to come and ask for an explanation. It seems that money is really needed to solve the problem today.I am not in charge, so it doesn't work at all. I thought I would call the police to dissuade him, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.I was just thinking about what to do, but the company couldn't get in, and I couldn't retreat by taking the stairs. I just waited for the elevator to go down. Just as I had this plan, the elevator door opened, and the general manager came out:

"what happened?

manager, they came to ask for salary

How to ask for salary to come to us?

This... they don’t talk about it with anyone except the leader.”

What Ge Jun said was to push away his own responsibilities. He was not the leader, so of course he knew that if he had a good tongue and solved this kind of thing, he might be able to give the leader a good impression.It's not like this kind of thing has happened before, and it's mostly because some banners were hung downstairs, and nothing happened in the end, unlike today's blocking the door of the company to prevent people from entering and leaving. Since he came to the company, this is the first time once.Ge Jun thought, now it depends on the leadership ability.General manager:

"Who are your representatives?

I am! ’ replied the leader, as if knowing

"Let's go in and talk

Don't go, don't pay, don't go

It doesn't matter if you don't go, which boss did you do it with?

Boss Chen

What about our company?

He said he got the project from you guys

All right!I don't care about this, and I don't care what these bosses say, you come to ask for money, it's fine, give me the IOU, and I'll give you the money." Speaking of this, the leader suddenly lost his confidence, and he didn't have the momentum to win, but still say:

"We work with the boss. There is no IOU, and he didn't give it to us. Now we can't find anyone, so we can only come to you

this is okay too?Believe it or not, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to tell you about the fraud, you can give the money, but you have to give a reason, give a basis, do you owe money and IOUs?

We don't have this"

Now the roles are all reversed, and the unreasonable has become justified. The boss watched the manager use his trump card and hit the point with his words. Everyone ran to the stairwell to discuss countermeasures.Ge Jun followed the manager in, but the manager walked straight into his office without saying anything, without saying a single word to Ge Jun's words and deeds.Ge Jun also came in and did what he was supposed to do, thinking that it was nothing to do with the matter anyway, and he himself did not mishandle this matter, so he didn't think much about it at all.After waiting for about ten minutes, I thought that the gang might have left, so I calmed down and reported the work of the day to the manager one by one.

Migrant workers are so pitiful. They know they have been deceived, but they can’t find a way to spread their word in the end. A group of simple people are expressionless in the stairwell, and they are all looking at the boss’s face. The pressure is great.The leader didn't know what to do, so he had to ask everyone to wait there, and went downstairs by himself, not knowing why.

When Ge Jun came out to go to the bathroom, the man came back again, he was the only one, and the rest were waiting in the corridor.The man looked ashamed. Seeing Ge Jun apologizing quickly, he took out a good pack of cigarettes. Seeing that Ge Jun didn't pick it up, he was embarrassed to take it back. Seeing that Ge Jun couldn't please him, he went to the manager's office in shame. .Feeling ashamed as well, he knocked on the manager's door.

"Come in! (Looks down at the material, ignores it)

Hello manager!

Didn’t you make it clear? (looks up in shock)

Yes, it's clear, we vulgar people, I want to apologize to you, I'm sorry!

This is not necessary, go back!It's business, you closed my company today, I'm already very angry

sorry!We can't help it, it's not on purpose."

The manager stopped writing and began to talk seriously with the migrant worker:

"This kind of thing is not just an apology and it's over. If you change someone else and they call the police, you have no evidence and no evidence, and you will inevitably have to sue in the Mid-Autumn Festival." The manager is actually not angry until now. I have never been angry, but in order to prevent similar things from happening again, and to imitate others, I have to pretend to be reasonable and not to be seen.After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and was busy with his own affairs, but the leader suddenly knelt down:

"Great leader, please! I kowtow to you to compensate for my mistake."

After speaking, the man burst into tears, and the man now became a pile of soft meat, which was completely spread there, and the manager responded quickly. Although he knew that it would be better to have more things than less things, seeing this man like this, there is really nothing he can do. His words also violated the norms of human beings, so he hurried over and leaned over to help him, only to see that the man had no intention of getting up at all, while holding the manager's hand with both hands, he lowered his head, trying to hit the tiled floor with his head, while choking:

"We are wrong first, and then I ask you for something, see if you can think of a way to help us settle the money

Brother, get up first, let’s talk if you have something to say, I can’t stand this.”

Ge Jun witnessed all of this, and felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. He had only heard of ancient people kneeling down to officials before, but now this incident reminded him of some words: A man has gold under his knees; a penny is hard for a hero.Thinking that the contradictions of these common sayings are so abominable, there are reasonable explanations for both good and bad, it is extremely abominable, and I am ashamed of my indifference just now, after studying for so many years, I finally became like this, this The look I hated the most before.

When the man came out, he still greeted Ge Jun, and with the same apologetic smile, quickly wiped away the tears and saliva on his face with his hands. After thinking for a while, he heard the manager call his name: "Xiao Ge!" Bigger than usual.

Ge Jun reacted quickly and went in too, but when he went in, the manager was on the phone. Seeing that there was a missed call, he hung up and threw the phone on the table, and said casually: The surname of □□ is Chen!

By the way, Xiaoge, call me the person in charge of the company's finance

OK"

The office is next to the manager's room, which is convenient for the leader to order, so in many cases, as long as the manager does not deliberately close the door to talk about it, the office can hear it clearly. Up to now, there has never been a leader talking behind closed doors. , which shows that Ge Jun and his office staff are at ease. This is an unspoken affirmation. There is a saying that "the office is the place closest to the heart of the company", which seems to have some basis.

When it was almost time to leave work at noon that day, Ge Jun looked at the time. It was already a while after work time. In the morning, the old director asked for leave and did not come. The two colleagues left more punctually than Rolex watches. He left, but Ge Jun didn’t even notice. Seeing that the manager’s door was still open, he thought he had already left, but now he found that he was still inside, so he went to knock on the door:

"Manager, off work

Oh, it's Xiaoge, you go first, I won't be back at noon." When he said that, he turned back his thoughtful eyes looking out of the window

"Then go get something to eat!

Don’t go, you can do your own work, don’t worry about mine.” The answer is still the same. In fact, Ge Jun has no desire to go home, and he has to go to work after staying at home for less than an hour at most. Traffic, maybe even late, just happened to encounter this kind of thing today, don't want to go home after get off work, have no appetite, he thinks maybe the manager is the same.

Ge Jun went downstairs to order some fast food, and when he returned to the office, he made a cup of tea and went in. At the manager's place, because it was off-duty time, he would not be too cautious. Besides, the previous exercise at school made Ge Jun now Don't panic in front of people, even if you see the leader, you won't be submissive:

"Eat some, manager, I typed a little casually below

oh you don't want to go home

Well, I won’t go back. To be honest, when I encountered such a thing today, I really felt bad in my heart.

You are also affected by this matter, of course, you came the earliest, maybe the two of us know about this matter, those workers knew that they were wrong and hid in the corridor, and the other employees probably didn’t even know there were people inside.”

Judging from everyone's expressions and working hours, no one really knows that there are people in the corridors. Most of them like to take the elevator. Moreover, their floors are also high, and no one will use the stairs when there is nothing to do.Seeing that the manager hadn't eaten, Ge Jun drank the tea he made himself. After drinking for a while, he looked at the two boxes of fast food on the table and said to Ge Jun:

"It's okay, now it's off work time, don't be restrained, you eat yours, I will eat later"

Seeing that the leader had spoken, and people were drinking tea, after buying something by himself, he had to eat it first before others would be ashamed to eat it. In order to get closer to the leader, he originally wanted to come down to eat by himself before going up.It doesn't seem necessary now, no matter how strong a person is, like the leader just now, he is also extremely weak at critical moments, so he let go and picked up one of the boxes of fast food and ate it without appetite:

"Manager, why did you advance the company's money to them first?"

Seeing Ge Jun asking while eating, he pulled out of the thoughtful state again, took a sip of tea, and put the teacup on the table:

"It's about to celebrate the festival. I don't need to give it if I have to do business. I have worked on the construction site before, and I know it is not easy to support my family. Besides, people have a conscience. When I saw that strong man kneeling down, to be honest , I don't know what to do

Then what should we do if we encounter this kind of thing again?

I confessed to him, a man has face, and he has to do this to get back the money that originally belonged to him. First, he will not go out and say it. Second, you can see his guilty expression. It is not ordinary people who do not achieve their goals. of"

Throughout the afternoon, Ge Jun went to class in a daze, without a trace of motivation. People commute to and from work on time, and it seems that there is nothing unusual. Behind the cards, something very different from the words happened in the morning.The manager used the company's money to advance the wages of the twenty or so people so that they could go back for the holidays. I don't know how many things like this will happen in other places, and how many of them are as lucky as these people today?

When he got home from work, Ge Jun didn’t feel tired at all. He saw Zhang Xin putting the child to sleep. He didn’t bother him and walked to the balcony. This time he was still looking at the southwest direction, but he had other things in his heart. The scene of that scene is still in his mind, and the aftermath of the shocking force is like an earthquake, lingering for a long time. He is very worried that he will face such a predicament one day. After all, life is hard-won now. In addition to cherishing what he has done, he has to work hard. The phrase that the manager said to him, "You can take care of others only when you are well" is firmly in his heart, and he probably will never forget it in this life.

The author has something to say: The first novel is mainly about practicing pens and cultivating writing habits. I plan to stop when I write 10,000+, stick to it! ! !
