I became wary of her, so I only took a small sip, the same amount as before.
She didn't take it seriously, and then picked up the wine bottle and poured herself some wine. After she filled her own glass, she came to ask me: "Dean Feng, let me fill it up for you too."
She always used the honorific "you" to me, and several times I was ready to correct her, but then I thought it was better, because she could at least keep a certain distance between us by calling me this way.
But her behavior now made me feel a little embarrassed. I said to her: "Jiang Mei, don't drink like that, you will get drunk easily."[
She shook her head and said: "Dean Feng, I hope I can drink more. When I was in the hospital, including after I resigned until now, I wanted to invite you out for a chat several times, but I always hesitated.
.Actually, now I still feel that some of my words really can’t be spoken, so I thought maybe if I drink more, it will be fine.”
I said: "Actually, you don't need to drink more to tell me. After all, we are former colleagues, and I also told you when you left the hospital. If you have any difficulties in the future, just ask them. As long as they are
We will definitely help you if it is within the scope of the principles. No matter what, you are a person who has made a great contribution to our hospital. So, you say, it is better to drink less alcohol."
In fact, I was refusing her to pour me another drink in disguise.
She also understood what I meant, so she put down the bottle, "Dean Feng, let me tell you the truth, it's very difficult for me now. After resigning from the hospital, I took on several jobs, but in the end I gave up.
The main thing is that I was assigned office-type jobs, because the most important position in my resume was office director. Although the salary was not bad, I thought that since I resigned, I had to find a way to make more money.
Yes. Later I worked as a sales manager in several companies, but I didn’t have any connections, so I never received any projects. Alas! If I had known that it would be like this, I shouldn’t have resigned in the first place. Dean Feng,
Do you know what kind of dreams I have been having lately?"
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "You said."
She herself was sighing, "Recently, I often have the same dream. I dreamed that I was still working in the hospital, or I got a notice from the hospital telling me to go back to work immediately. Last night's dream was even weirder.
I dreamed that our hospital has been renovated. It is so big and beautiful! Then you came to me in person and said to me: Jiang Mei, our hospital has just been renovated and is in urgent need of manpower. Can you come back to work?
?How about letting you be our office director? In the dream, I was so happy that I agreed immediately. When I woke up in the morning, I still remembered the dream, but I felt so uncomfortable because I knew this
It's just a dream, such a thing will never become a reality. Alas..."
I listened quietly while she was telling her story. Her dream made me feel a little sad. In fact, the subconscious expression of her dream was very simple, that is, she deeply regretted her resignation, and
There are two reasons for her regret: one is nostalgia for her past job, and the other is dissatisfaction or even disappointment or despair about her current life.
I said: "Jiang Mei, I understand your current mood very well. But you have resigned, and it is almost impossible to go back. It's not that I don't want you, but the procedure is unworkable. If you had
It would be nice to apply for a leave of absence without pay or something like that. However, it seems that public institutions are not allowed to apply for leave without pay now, right? So, the possibility that you want to go back to the hospital is not very high."
She nodded, "Yes. I know. I have been the office director for so many years, am I still not clear about such things?"
I looked at her, "Then, what should you do with your reserve funds?"
She shook her head and said: "I don't know either. I don't have any start-up capital to start my own company, and I can't guarantee that I will be successful in the future. I don't have many connections when it comes to working for others. I really don't know now.
What should we do?"
I said: "Jiang Mei, after listening to your words just now, I already have a preliminary concept. I think that until now, you have been doing things because of your face. This is also the reason why you resigned in the first place.
?You said that there are several companies that let you do office work, and the income is not bad, but you are unwilling to do that kind of work, and you have to do sales or something to make a lot of money. So, I think you are the best
The key problem is here, because you care too much about what others think of you, and always hope to make money as soon as possible, so that you can have face in front of your former colleagues or your relatives and friends. Don’t you think so?"
She nodded, "Dean Feng, you are right. I am a woman, and I am also a person who cares about face. And my children also need dignity in school. If I don't do a good job now, my children will be respected by their classmates."
It will be very shameless in front of you. Dean Feng, in the final analysis, we are all living for our own face. Do you think so?"
What else can I say? There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, because everyone has different ideas. Some people may think that face is a very important thing to them, and some people live for that thing.
, face is the motivation for those people to do everything.
I thought for a while and said: "I think we should face reality. Everyone has face, but it depends on your own situation. Jiang Mei, let me tell you something: One morning I woke up
Early in the morning, when I went to buy breakfast on the street in the community, I saw two sanitation workers stacking a lot of garbage packed in plastic bags onto a car. The two men were very young, about 10 years old.
He looked like he was in his twenties. One of them was handing the plastic bags containing garbage to the man in the car. The man in the car was very serious about loading the bags one by one. In short, I found that
The two people worked very seriously, and they didn't seem to feel the stench from the garbage around them at all. At that time, I thought, in fact, they must not be willing to do any kind of job, but they accepted their fate because they
If they don't do that job, they may never find another job suitable for them. That's why they are content with that status quo and do the work they do so meticulously and well. The fastest update
Please come and I also thought about it, maybe they can't do that kind of job all their lives, because I believe they may think about their future while doing that job. Jiang Mei, I think you should also have that kind of ability.
Mentality, first do a good job in a down-to-earth manner, and then learn some things you want to learn from it, and then consider other things after you have certain experience and information. What do you think?"
But she shook her head and said: "Dean Feng, although you are right, but I am no longer young, and I don't want to come step by step like that. I spent so many years in the hospital in a hazy state in the past few years, I
No more time can be wasted.”
I still don’t think her idea is wrong, because I think what she said makes sense, but the key thing is that you have to deal with such things according to your own situation? She is a smart person and should understand this truth.
Huh? So, I immediately felt that she really needed my help with something.
So I asked her: "So, what do you want to do in the future? What difficulties do you need my help for? You tell me first, and I will see if I can help you."
She said: "Dean Feng, let's have a bar. I still feel that it is not appropriate to talk to you directly about this matter. I want to drink some wine to see if I can be a little bolder and see if I can deal with it at that time."
You tell me."[
I shook my head and said, "If there is anything you need to discuss directly, I said that as long as it is within the scope of the principles, it will be easy to handle."
She looked at me and said, "Dean Feng, actually I went to see Dean Deng before this, and I talked to him about my current difficulties. He asked me what I was doing recently, and I said I was working in a geological exploration company.
When I worked for the company, I mainly helped the company contact business. At that time, I also told him that a cave was discovered under the construction not far from the obstetrics and gynecology hospital, so I felt that the hospital project needed another geological survey before it could be insured. He listened.
After hearing this, I immediately felt that this matter was necessary... But then I heard him tell me that you did not agree with that matter. Dean Feng, since a cave has been discovered under the nearby construction site, then
It is also very necessary to conduct another exploration for the hospital project? The previous company must have cut corners, so it submitted a report to you that no abnormal geological conditions were found. President Feng, I also remember what you said to me when I resigned
However, if I have any difficulties in the future, I will come to you, as long as it does not violate the principles. Therefore, I have no choice but to shamelessly come to you today."
I looked at her and said, "Jiang Mei, tell me the truth, has a cave really been discovered under the construction site next to our hospital?"
She replied without hesitation: "It's true. I've asked about it and it's true."
I shook my head and said, "I've also asked, why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
At this time, I noticed a trace of panic in her eyes, but she still said to me seriously: "Dean Feng, I really asked, and it is indeed the case."
I said: "This is strange. Logically speaking, if there is really a cave under the construction site, many people around the construction site should know about it. But I asked, and they all said they didn't know about it this time.
It’s something.”
She said: "Maybe the developer doesn't want to let others know about such things. After all, it will cause panic among future home buyers. Therefore, the developer must have kept it secret."
I still shook my head and said: "Impossible. If I were a developer, I would definitely not keep such a matter a secret. Such confidentiality is meaningless, because such a thing will be revealed one day. As a developer
Generally speaking, they are fully capable of turning this unfavorable factor into something advantageous, and they can also use it as a publicity stunt in the future. Didn't this happen not long ago? A developer was in Pingchang.
At that time, I accidentally discovered that there were springs everywhere underground. Logically speaking, the soil quality is very bad, because after building a house in such a place, there will definitely be dampness on the ground floor. However, the developer took advantage of this situation.
The publicity said that they had discovered hot springs and that they could connect hot springs to every household in the future. They also advertised that 'you can enjoy the joy of hot spring bathing at home'. As a result, the pre-sales of that community were very popular. I think
, if there is really a cave underground next to our hospital, it should definitely be a good thing for the developer. Therefore, it makes no sense that people around us don’t know about it.”
Although I have said so much, I still feel a little strange in my heart: If this matter is really a rumor created by her, wouldn't she be worried about us investigating? I think she would never be like this
Mentally retarded. So, after I finished saying this, I looked at her and said, "Jiang Mei, it's not that I don't believe you, but I think this thing is too strange. And, even if that thing is true,
The most we can do is ask the previous company to replenish the diamonds, and we have good reasons not to pay them any more."
Her face suddenly turned red, "I'm sorry, Dean Feng, I exaggerated the matter. But it was indeed discovered during the geological survey that there were some holes underneath. Although the holes were not very big, the area
It is certain that the ground below is a karst landform.”
I thought: Maybe this is right. "Jiang Mei, I said, even if that's the case, we can't find another geological survey company to do the geological survey again. You know, if we do it again
A geological survey will cost more than one million. This is a matter of principle, so I can't help you. Please forgive me."
She picked up the wine glass and took a deep sip, and then came to me and said: "Dean Feng, it seems that I thought about the problem too simply. You are right, I can't embarrass you. Hey, do it now
Why is one thing so difficult?"
I comforted her lonely and said: "I still say, don't be anxious, some things have to be done slowly. And I also think that you should do the project you are most familiar with. You shouldn't have studied geological survey before, right?
?How do you go to work in a company like that?"
She said: "I also went there temporarily... Oh, a friend told me that as long as any unit is engaged in high-tech infrastructure construction and has acquaintances, it will usually get some projects. So I
So I went to that company.”
I immediately felt strange. First, she seemed to have missed the point in her previous sentence, and second, I still felt that her going to that geological prospecting company was a bit unbelievable. So I had to think of another possibility:
What if Deng Feng took the initiative to bring up the matter of our hospital's geological survey to her? You know, Deng Feng is the vice president in charge of logistics and infrastructure of our hospital, so he is so familiar with the situation around the hospital.
So I thought, if the assumption I just made is true, then I have to doubt the relationship between Deng Feng and the woman in front of me. Maybe Deng Feng is the same as Chu Dingnan, and it is hard to say that he is also a lover of this woman.
Well. After all, she is still pretty. Maybe the real side of the matter is this: Deng Feng knew that there was some karst landform underneath the land next to our hospital, so he felt that the opportunity to help Jiang Mei had come.
Then she was asked to contact a geological survey company.
In the past, I usually accepted the suggestions that Deng Feng put forward to me, but he didn't expect that this time I would reject it all at once. In fact, in the final analysis, it was because of his insufficient consideration of the problem, and
That is, he did not regard the hospital construction funds as the cost of future hospital operation. Maybe he only had one thought in his mind: the money belongs to the hospital anyway, and I will definitely put safety issues first, and will never
For the sake of just over a million and the risk of future project problems.
Thinking of this, I nodded and said: "In the final analysis, you are still running around without a goal. Jiang Mei, you may not know that for this matter, I severely criticized Dean Deng, because
He actually made such a suggestion to me directly without going through specific investigation and research. Fortunately, I did not adopt his suggestion, otherwise he and I would not be able to explain clearly in the future. Jiang Mei, we used to be colleagues, and I also know that you
The relationship with Dean Deng is very good. But I really don’t want him to make any mistakes in the future. The matter with Dean Chu is right in front of us."
Her expression suddenly changed, "Dean Feng, this matter is all my fault. You must not blame him."
I nodded, "This matter is mainly caused by his lack of meticulousness and carelessness in his work. Fortunately, it has not caused any consequences. Therefore, I do not plan to continue to pursue this matter because I think it is unnecessary. But I will ask before
That geological survey company provided me with a more detailed report. Jiang Mei, this matter is indeed not something you are familiar with, so I don’t think you should join in. Also, after all, you are someone who left our hospital, so
I don’t think it’s good for you to participate in any of our hospital’s projects. You know that when a unit is big, there will always be people who gossip. What do you think?”
She whispered: "I'm sorry, Dean Feng... Then, this matter will not have any impact on Dean Deng, right?" [
I immediately knew something from her question: In fact, for her, because she has been working in a relatively simple environment like a hospital for a long time, her thinking about problems is still a bit simple.
Therefore, I don't dislike her for this.
But I think there is something obviously wrong with Deng Feng. After all, he is the vice president of the hospital, and he should not take matters of principle as a favor.
I said: "Of course not, he didn't make any mistakes. Wrong decisions are inevitable, including myself, and there may be problems of one kind or another."
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, I wanted to ask her about her relationship with Deng Feng, but I really couldn't ask. After all, such a thing involves a woman's face. She told me earlier about her relationship with Chu Dingnan, and that incident
She knew that I was clear about the matter. I think the reason why she told me that matter might be to show her sincerity to me.
At this time, silence began to appear between us. I felt a little embarrassed, so I said to her: "Jiang Mei, let's stop here today. I can't help you, I'm very sorry."
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, I'm used to being disappointed anyway."
Immediately, a sad expression appeared on her face. At this moment, my heart felt a little soft. At this moment, a thought suddenly emerged from my mind.
"Jiang Mei, I'm going out for a while." I said to her immediately.
She looked at me and said, "Dean Feng, please don't go and pay the bill. I sincerely treat you to this meal."
I have to admit that this woman is quite smart, because she at least saw my purpose. I said: "I'd better treat you, after all, my current conditions are better than yours. Jiang Mei, in fact, it's better if you treat me
My request to you is the same. The most important thing is that we had a good communication today. What do you think?"
She smiled sheepishly and said, "Dean Feng, you make me feel really embarrassed like this."
I smiled gently at her, "It's okay. You may not know it. I really want to drink today, so it's appropriate for me to treat you. And I'm very grateful to you for calling me in time."
She said: "But, you didn't drink much?"
I smiled and said to her: "If you promise to let me pay the bill, I will drink."
She smiled, "Okay. You can pay."
I also laughed, "That's great, but I still have to go and make myself comfortable first."
In fact, she didn't know that the purpose of my going out just now was not just to check out, nor just for convenience.
After arriving outside the private room, I immediately took out my mobile phone and called Yang Shuguang, "Director Yang, what are you busy with?"
He smiled and answered me: "Stay at home and write your speech."
I was a little surprised, "What speech?"
He said: "I received a notice before I got off work today, saying that the competitor and I would each give a speech in front of the department leaders, and we would talk about what is called competition for employment."
I couldn't help but burst out laughing, "This method is not bad. But I think both you and your competitor should be very eloquent. The final key is who has the background."
He sighed: "How could I not know that this is just a formality? But I don't dare to be careless, I can only prepare well."
I then said to him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have spoken about your matter for you again, and the leaders above will speak for you."
He suddenly said in a very happy tone, "Great! Brother Feng, you are such a great friend. Knowing you is really my great luck in eight lifetimes."
I hurriedly said: "Don't say that. We are friends. Wouldn't it be too rude to say this? By the way, Director Yang, I want to ask you something. Are you familiar with the leaders of the insurance company?"
He replied: "I have a classmate's father, who is now the vice president of our Jiangnan Provincial People's Insurance Company. Brother Feng, tell me, what's going on?"
I said: "As far as I know, car damage assessors in the car insurance section of insurance companies are very profitable, right?"
He said: "Yes. Those car damage assessors are all well-connected. They mainly work with auto repair shops and 4S shops to make money from insurance companies. This is an open secret in the insurance industry. Brother Feng
, why are you asking me about this? Is there someone you want to arrange to do that job? "
I thought this guy was really smart, "Yeah. Can you help me arrange it?"
He said: "It should be no problem. Let's do this. I'll call my classmate right away and ask him to ask immediately. Then I'll get back to you right away. Okay?"
I was very happy in my heart, "That's great, I won't say any words of thanks. By the way, I also want to ask you, how much money can an evaluator like that earn in a year?"
He said: "I don't know the specifics, because I haven't asked specifically, and people inside the family won't say such things casually. But I can make an estimate. There are so many novice drivers now, so it's easy to crash and get stuck.
Things are relatively common. If a car damage assessor from an insurance company handles one accident a day, and he earns 500 yuan per accident, then it should be close to 200,000 yuan a year, plus salary.
If so, it must be more than 200,000. This is still my most conservative estimate, so I think there should be no problem for them to earn 300,000 to 400,000 a year."
What he said was similar to what I imagined, "Thank you very much. Please call me as soon as possible. I'll wait for your reply."
He laughed, "Brother Feng, are you too polite?"
Then I went to the toilet and then returned to the private room.
When Jiang Mei saw that I was back, she smiled and asked me, "Dean Feng, can I fill it up for you?"
I smiled and said, "Okay. Fill it up."
She looked at me and said, "Dean Feng, did you encounter something happy when you went out just now? I see you are very happy."
I laughed and said, "Don't tell me yet, you are really accurate."
She smiled and asked me: "Dean Feng, can you tell me? What happy event happened to you? Did you see a beautiful woman? Hehe! I was joking with you, don't blame me?"
I found that this woman is actually very strong, at least she can still maintain such a state under such circumstances.
I didn't joke with her, but immediately asked her: "Jiang Mei, what is your expectation for your annual income?"
She looked at me in surprise before replying: "Actually, my requirements are not high. I would be very satisfied if I could earn an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year."
I nodded towards her, then picked up the wine glass and said to her: "Your requirements are indeed not high, I believe you can achieve it. Come, for your dream, let's have a drink. Haha! Don't finish the drink.
Ah, let’s just drink one finger.”
She said: "Thank you, Dean Feng, do you mean to say that you can help me achieve such a dream?"
I said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I believe you have such ability."
In fact, her requirements are indeed not high, but for her, she can only think that way, because when she was in our hospital, her total annual income was less than 60,000 yuan. Also, if she does this
If she really got me to agree to do the geological survey project again, I think the agency fee she could get would be at most 5%, which is just 50,000 yuan.
This is true for all industries, and the standards for agency fees are similar. Because of this, my view of Deng Feng has changed a lot: In order to create an income of tens of thousands of yuan for Jiang Mei, he actually tried to
It is really too much for the hospital to spend millions of additional funds.
Jiang Mei sighed: "Dean Feng, you overestimate my ability."
I laughed "haha", "A person's ability is not overestimated or underestimated by others. Ability is in a person's blood and spirit. The key to the problem is that capable people must be given a suitable
platform."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Dean Feng, you said that very well. Dean Feng, do you mean that you will give me such a platform?"
I found that this woman was really good at pestering people, because she kept trying to steer my conversation towards the direction she wanted. I smiled and said, "It's not that I give you that platform, but that you need to find it yourself."
Such a platform.”
She smiled and said: "Dean Feng, I understand. You must have already thought about what you want me to do. Isn't that right?"
I immediately felt that she was a little annoying. You know, such things can only be understood and should not be fully explained. So I couldn't help but think: maybe the most suitable job for her is that of a car damage assessor.
.
I didn't answer her anymore, just smiled lightly.
Maybe she also realized that she was too anxious, "I'm sorry, Dean Feng. I didn't mean anything else. I was just too anxious and annoyed because I found out that making money is really difficult after I resigned."
.”
At this time, my phone rang, and I knew it must be Yang Shuguang.
Sure enough it was him.
