This afternoon, I was still busy at work. It was not until the street lights outside the window that I realized that it was time to get off work. I used to light a cigarette, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city with night makeup, and a feeling of depression arose in my heart, as if everyone in my sight was happier than me. I knew that I had fallen into the human nature again, and was good at giving myself an answer, making people other than myself so beautiful. In fact, they were also busy looking for a place to live in this boundless night to comfort themselves and comfort the pain caused by friction with this society... I put out the cigarette butts, and I smiled. I thought that after seeing through the essence, I really couldn't afford to enjoy these sadnesses I made!

After leaving the office, I went to the administrative department again and obtained the draft document about the suspension of business in the empty city. The executive manager of the middle asked me: "Mr. Zhao, after the suspension of business in the empty city, how do you plan to resettle those clerks? Do you need the resettlement plan from the Human Resources Department?"

I thought about it and replied, "No need for now. Leave this matter to me. In fact, compared with the closure of business, I still hope to transfer it to others for business. You should know my feelings for this restaurant. Let's first see if there are individuals or units willing to take over, and then make arrangements later."

"Okay, please follow your arrangement."

After finishing my conversation with the administrative manager, I left the company and prepared to go to Chen Jingming's appointment. Although I didn't ask him why he had to make an appointment with me alone on the phone, this did not mean that I was not confused. In fact, I didn't have much contact with Chen Jingming, the old boss, and he rarely asked me for help.

It was at the peak of getting off work, and the road was very congested. When I arrived at the location I agreed with Chen Jingming, I was already 20 minutes late. After I parked the car, I trotted all the way to the teahouse.

......

Under the guidance of the waiter, I arrived at the private room of the teahouse. Chen Jingming had arrived, and there were several cigarette butts stuffed in the ashtray. I guess I had been waiting for a while.

I apologized to him repeatedly, but he signaled that it was okay, but he did not say a few words of blame as usual. This made the atmosphere less relaxed, and this proved that he would tell me something very serious later.

Sure enough, he lit another cigarette and said to me straight to the point: "Today, I saw the Christmas event planning project created by the team over Fangyuan... Most of the resources in it should be integrated by you, right? Even some marketing ideas are made by you?"

I nodded and said, "Yes...but is there any problem with this, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Jingming looked at me without a smile on his face, took a deep breath of cigarette before replying: "I personally don't want you to participate in Zhuomei's Christmas event..."

I was filled with shock and asked, "Why?... Besides, I just participated in it as a third-party cooperation, so it should not affect Zhuomei's normal operation, right?"

"But the energy of your third party is unexpectedly great! The resources you have integrated are unprecedentedly strong, and it is enough to affect the results of this event..." Chen Jingming said and nodded, then looked at me with a sharp look.

I looked at him, put away all the expressions on my face and replied, "If the result cannot be changed, then will my participation be meaningless? And the final result must be beneficial to Zhuomei. Don't you think so, Mr. Chen?"

"I don't deny that this is a favorable result for Zhuomei, but it may be a crisis for Mr. Mi personally!"

I fell into silence again, but my thinking did not stop. I was thinking about why the good result brought a personal crisis to Mi Cai. But I was puzzled and asked him: "Mr. Chen, is there any basis for what you and I said personally... No, it is not a basis, what I want is evidence."

Chen Jingming shook his head with a hint of helplessness and replied: "There is no evidence, this is just my personal guess."

My thinking began to reverse, and replied without any mercy: "Mr. Chen, you should know that this event involves the interests of many partners. How could I remove these resources just by just your words? And I want to tell you that the most important advertising resources are provided by Simei Advertising. Even if I don't participate, Fang Yuan and Simei Advertising CEO Jian Wei have been friends for so many years, they must have been taken down... Now all the resources have been rolled up, like a chariot that has been started at high speed, and no one can stop it from running... You and I can't do it!"

Chen Jingming looked a little ugly, frowned, and said, "Zhaoyang, do you don't trust me as your old boss?"

This is not the time to take personal favors into consideration. I also lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and replied: "It doesn't matter whether you trust you in this incident, because it's too late and no one can stop it. Moreover, you asked me to withdraw from participation, but it was just because of your personal guess and it was not convincing enough. This time I really can't do this thing according to your wishes... Sorry!"

Chen Jingming was silent...just smoking a cigarette.

Of course I had a little concern in my heart and asked him again: "Mr. Chen, what is her attitude towards this matter?"

"If Mi Zhong has the attitude, he will just stop this event, and I don't have to come to you specifically."

"Mr. Mi can't stop it. This is Zhuomei's best opportunity, which can completely surpass Polytechnic Department Store... I'm afraid that this massive event is also the collective will of Zhuomei's board of directors?"

Chen Jingming did not deny it and said, "It is indeed the will of the board of directors, and it has allocated the highest funding for this event unprecedentedly... However, Mr. Mi is now busy with Zhuomei's listing and has no time to take care of the affairs here, otherwise there will be actions... You know, she has always wanted to find an opportunity to clean up Fang Yuan from Zhuomei, which is also the best opportunity. After all, it was Fang Yuan himself and Mr. Mi who made a military order. If he failed to achieve the set goal, he withdrew from Zhuomei."

Chen Jingming's words had touched my bottom line and immediately replied: "After all, you just hope Fang Yuan will leave Zhuomei... Mr. Chen, can I think so: Fang Yuan has threatened your position in Zhuomei? Or stop this event, the biggest beneficiary is his competitor Polygon Department Store. Then I can think that you have unclear contact with Polygon Department Store?..."

Chen Jingming's expression became extremely ugly and he said, "Zhaoyang, what do you mean by saying these words? Do you question me!!"

I shook my head and said, "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. If you talk about reason and evidence, you say I question you, but you are also questioning Fang Yuan. I just want to tell you that doubting requires evidence, not nonsense, otherwise it will be difficult to convince people. For example, if I have no evidence to question you now, you are also very annoyed! Right?"

"Speak nonsense?... Zhaoyang, your wings are hard!... I can't change anything even if I speak softly, but I have done everything I should do and I have a clear conscience! Leave the rest to time to verify." Chen Jingming left after saying this.

I stayed alone in the private room of the teahouse and lit another cigarette in a bored mood. I was a little disgusted with human nature and could not understand. I could only say half-believing and half-doubting about Chen Jingming's words, but this was not important, because Zhuomei's Christmas activities have been carried out in a vast manner in the collective will, and there is no personal will to fight, including Mi Cai, the chairman of Zhuomei. Therefore, whether Chen Jingming met me and said these words will not change anything.

A cigarette was about to finish, and the cell phone on the tea table rang again. I picked it up and looked at it. Fang Yuan called it. This was an unexpected call. If Fang Yuan was playing with Chen Jingming within Zhuomei, he would definitely know that Chen Jingming would come to me. This time, he must have explained something to me.

I answered the phone, and he asked me without saying a word, "Where are you?"

"Oriental Garden Teahouse."

"Are you alone?"

I simply replied: "Chen Jingming just looked for me, but he has left."

Fang Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "He has indeed gone to find you... This old boss is really disappointing. You are waiting for me there, and I will go to find you now."

"Um."

.........

While waiting for Fang Yuan, I was smoking a cigarette, and my heart became more and more bored. In this upcoming event of Zhuomei, I saw the unpredictability of human nature, but whether it is Chen Jingming or Fang Yuan, or whether they lost fairness and bottom line for their own interests, they fought with mistakes and mistakes, which made me feel sad. I clearly remember: At the most negative stage in my life, these two people gave me so much help and protection. I really hope that they can focus on harmony and work together to help Micai manage Zhuomei's huge commercial warship.

A quarter of an hour later, I looked at the brightly lit street through the dark glass window, and then the black Audi A4 in the square radius appeared in my sight. He didn't even have time to get his briefcase, so he hurriedly got out of the car and trotted into the teahouse.

I took a deep breath of cigarette, raised my head, and slowly spit out the smoke stuck in my mouth, without opening my eyes to see the ceiling that was close to me but complicated.

I let out another sip of cigarette, and the door of the private room was opened. I finally opened my eyes and looked at Fang Yuan, but couldn't find an expression that could interpret my current state. I just looked at him like this, then raised my hand and took a sip of cigarette, and then poured him a cup of hot tea. But I became less and less awake, and I was a little weak in the confusion and falsehood of reality!
