Chapter 30: A Sudden Opportunity
A moment later, Mi Cai sent me to Robben's residence. Today I will make my life safe in this ten-square-meter attic.
I was still dizzy and headed straight to the bed, then became drowsy.
Half-open and half-closed my eyes, I saw the busy Micai. She found an electric kettle, boiled hot water, went downstairs, and a moment later, bought milk powder and honey, and soaked me a glass of honey milk.
"Don't sleep for now, drink the milk."
I didn't want to move at all, and said vaguely: "You put it over there first, I'll drink it later."
"It will be cold later."
I struggled for a moment and sat up from the bed. Mi Cai handed me the milk and sat on the chair opposite me and looked at me.
The milk that had just been washed out was very hot, and I drank very slowly. Mi Cai urged me again: "Drink quickly, I'll clean up after drinking and leave."
"There is nothing to clean up. If you are anxious, just leave first."
"Wash the cup and pour you a cup of hot water to keep you thirsty and drink it." Mi Cai said.
"Why are you so kind to me?" I said and took a big sip of milk, but it was so hot that I couldn't swallow it.
Mi Cai asked in surprise: "I just made you a glass of milk. Is this considered good for you?"
Yes! Mi Cai just made a glass of milk for me just a little bit, but why do I think she is very good at it?
It took me a long time to realize that I have been lonely for too long and have not been accompanied by a woman by my side for too long. Every time I drink more wine, I just vomit myself. After vomiting, I vomit my head and sleep when I can't vomit. Where did a woman ever soak a glass of milk for me?
Finally, she drank a glass of milk. Mi Cai washed the cup and poured me a cup of boiled water. This time she did not urge me to drink it. She put it on the table beside the bed and said, "Please keep this glass of water, and you will drink it when you are thirsty."
"oh."
Mi Cai picked up his handbag and was about to leave. She asked me as if she remembered something, "Do you remember what you want to do tomorrow?"
"Get up on time to go to work." I replied without hesitation.
Mi Cai frowned: "No."
"What is that?"
"Think about it yourself, I'll leave first." Mi Cai said as she walked out of the house, brought it to the door, and instantly disappeared from my sight, but left my doubts to me.
I lit a cigarette, and I sat on the bed. After thinking for a long time, I didn't remember what I needed to do tomorrow besides going to work. So I simply put off the cigarette butts, covered the quilt and started to sleep. Since Mi Cai was talking about tomorrow's things, I would like to think about it tomorrow...
...
The next day, when I got up, Robben was still asleep. The nature of his work determined that he had to live in the dark and daytime. Yesterday he seemed to have not come back until the early morning.
After a simple washing, I found a bowl of bucket noodles in a box in the corner of the wall, soaked it as breakfast, and hurried downstairs and waited for the bus to go to the company.
Robben's residence is relatively remote, and the bus has been swaying on the road, so during the hour on the road, I kept thinking about what Mi Cai reminded me when she left yesterday.
Finally, I was more awake in the morning. I remembered that Mi Cai cooperated with me in a show last night. Of course, she would not help me for no reason. There must be some exchange between us. Following this idea, I suddenly realized that I had to buy insecticide powder for her to sprinkle it in the bathroom today.
I was afraid that I would forget it, so I set up a schedule reminder on my phone, and then I felt safe.
After arriving at the company, before I could make a cup of tea for myself, I was summoned by our planning manager Chen Jingming.
I came to Chen Jingming's office. He seemed to be in a good mood and asked me to sit down.
"Manager, you summoned me early this morning. Did I mess up something again?" I asked subconsciously. Chen Jingming came to me for the past two years of work, and basically criticized me.
Chen Jingming smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, there is an important task to you this time."
"What mission?"
"i set up cabinets in our department store, allowing our Polygon Department Store to officially enter the ranks of top department stores. The company wants to take this opportunity to carry out a comprehensive marketing campaign, strive to be huge and attract more international first-line brands to cooperate with our department store."
"Manager, what do you mean, I will be responsible for planning this event?" I asked in shock.
Chen Jingming nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this is a rare opportunity for you. You know, the traditional retail industry is now fiercely competitive, and has been strongly impacted by online shopping in recent years. The living environment is very bad. Taking the high-end route, branded management is the foundation for our Polygon Department Store's survival in this industry. We must attract as many international first-line brands to operate on-site operations as much as possible and strengthen our Polygon Department Store's brand advantages. Therefore, this activity is a reflection of our company's core values. The decision-making level above attaches great importance to it. I hope you can take on this important task."
"Manager, you don't know how much I weigh. You should give this big event to Fang Yuan."
"Zhaoyang, opportunities are not common. Fang Yuan has taken the position of deputy manager of the planning department, because he has made enough contributions to the company and the planning department. Others have no gossip. Where is you, Zhaoyang? I want to promote you to become the leader of the planning copywriting team. I am afraid others will have gossip... Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course I understand what Chen Jingming meant. He wanted to use this event to justify me as the leader of the planning copywriting team. This is indeed a rare opportunity for me in several years.
I was silent for a while and finally asked, "When will the preparations for this event start?"
"As soon as i signed the entry contract with our department store, the preparations began. By the way, i was preparing to shoot the promotional poster for opening on the 15th of this month. You can confirm with the graphic model whether there is a schedule. This matter must not be made. Do you understand?" Chen Jingming's expression became more and more serious as he spoke.
"I understand, I'll call her to confirm immediately."
Chen Jingming nodded and said, "Seize this opportunity well. Not everyone can be lucky enough to meet it."
"Thank you for the opportunity," I said sincerely.
After coming out of Chen Jingming's office, I immediately called Le Yao and told her the date of shooting the promotional poster. She confirmed that there was no problem. My heart was finally overwhelmed. I should indeed do something for my life, so I must hold this opportunity firmly!
This is the first time I have been eager to make progress and look forward to a qualitative change in my life after more than two years of unwillingness to make progress.
...
After a busy day, I came back to my senses and it was already past seven o'clock. The various lights on the street began to make the city's night dazzling again.
Sitting on the swaying bus, all my mind was thinking about the event marketing that was about to be prepared. Chen Jingming said right, this opportunity is once a lifetime for me, and I cannot be careless at all.
After a long time, the car was still swaying on the road. I took out my phone from my pocket to see the time, but found that the phone was automatically turned off because it was out of power.
I looked up at the electronic clock on the bus. It was already 8:30 at night.
At half past eight! I suddenly remembered that after get off work today, I had to buy insect-killing powder for Micai to deal with the cockroaches that she hated!
I remember in the morning, I was afraid that I would forget and set a schedule reminder on my phone, but my phone happened to be out of battery. This coincidence was enough to ruin my character and made Micai completely dislike me.
Chapter completed!
