The business of this maocai restaurant is really good, it is full inside and small temporary tables have been set up outside.
She and I chose a place outside and sat across from each other. She took the initiative to order the food and asked me what I wanted to eat. She told me to do whatever I wanted and she treated me.
In the end, I ordered a lot of things. While I was waiting, I asked her: "Have you been employed for half a month?"
"Well, the last time I saw you was the day I came to join the company, so it was twenty days ago."
"how do you feel?"
"It's pretty good! This is my first job after graduation, and I'm very satisfied."
It can be seen that she is a very contented girl, and she always has a bright smile on her face. Even if she is not smiling, she looks like she is smiling.
"What about you? Uncle, you must have been working in the company for a long time, right?" She tilted her head and asked me again.
"It's been a long time, from the establishment of the company to now."
"Wow! Then you are still an old employee. It is said that there are not many old employees in the whole company from the founding of the company to now. I remember Mr. Gao, not even Mr. An."
"You know all this?"
"I also heard what my colleagues said."
But I was surprised, then why didn't he recognize me?
I couldn't help but ask her: "Then do you know who the founder of the company is?"
I thought she didn't know, but I didn't expect that she actually nodded and said: "I have read the company brochure. The founder is also the current chairman of the group. His name is Chen Feng, right?"
I was a little surprised and asked her again: "Then you haven't seen him?"
"No, let alone the chairman, it's hard to even see Mr. An and Mr. Gao."
I finally found out. It turned out that he only knew that the chairman was named Chen Feng, but he had never met him.
I have no intention of telling her the truth, it would be nice to just chat on an equal footing.
The dishes we ordered came out quickly, and they were a big bowl. During the time I was hospitalized in Beijing, I had long missed the maocai and hot pot in Chengdu.
I couldn't wait to eat it as soon as it was served. She reminded me: "Uncle, eat slowly. If you don't have enough, just order more."
"Well, I look a bit ugly when I eat."
"It's okay. I'm very happy to see you like to eat."
While I was eating, I asked her again: "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Tong Xin. Where are you, uncle?"
"childlike innocence?"
She corrected: "It's Tong Xin, children's Tong, Xing Xing Xin Rong Xin."
"Oh, your name is nice and easy to remember."
She smiled and said: "Yes! What is your name, uncle?"
"My name is Chen Chunsheng." I said casually.
"You were born in spring, right? Haha" she laughed immediately.
I really did, so I nodded and said, "Yes, my birthday is next month."
"How old are you? Are you thirty years old?"
"I'm thirty-two this year."
"Then I call you uncle, right?"
"You can scream if you want! But, do I look old?"
"Fortunately, I don't look old. It just sounds more friendly."
"All right."
She seemed to talk a lot, so she turned to me and asked: "Uncle, you have been working in the company for so long and you are a veteran. Why hasn't the leader transferred you to other positions?"
I replied while eating: "I'm not very educated and can't do anything else."
"You can learn! You can't drive a car for the rest of your life, right?"
I smiled and said, "I'm used to it."
"No, you can't get used to it. You're not too old. You have to be motivated, otherwise you won't even be able to find a girlfriend. You don't know that girls nowadays like boys who are ambitious."
"How do you know I can't find a girlfriend? I'm thirty-two years old, do you think I'm not married yet?"
"A woman's first impression is very accurate. I think you are not married and you don't have a girlfriend yet."
I felt helpless, but I didn't explain too much.
After eating, we walked to the company together.
On the way, she asked me again: "Uncle, you have been working in the company for so long, so you should have met the chairman, right?"
"I've seen it before, what's wrong?"
"I heard from my colleagues that the chairman is very young, only in his early thirties. Is this true?"
"yes."
"The chairman is really amazing. He has achieved so much in his thirties. It is said that he started from scratch."
"Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. There are so many people who can start from scratch these days, not to mention the group is so big now. I really want to meet the chairman."
I want to say: Girl! The chairman you mentioned just ate maocai with you.
But I smiled and said to her: "There is nothing to see, they are all human beings, and the chairman is not a god."
"In my eyes, the chairman is like a god. If there is a chance, please let me meet him!"
"Why do you want me to meet you?"
"Because you can have access to it!"
I shrugged and said, "Okay!"
In the elevator back to the company, I bumped into Gao Sheng by chance. It seemed that he had just come back from lunch.
I was afraid that he would expose my identity, so I didn’t want to reveal my true identity in front of this little girl named Tong Xin so soon, because I found her quite funny, and it was fun to chat with her on an equal footing.
So as soon as I saw him, I took the initiative to shout to him: "Mr. Gao, are you going to eat?"
Normally I wouldn't call Gao Sheng that, so he was stunned and looked at me stupidly.
Until Tong Xin also shouted to him: "Hello, Mr. Gao."
He seemed to have just come to his senses and nodded to us, but didn't say anything.
Until we returned to the company together, because the logistics department and our senior office floor were not on the same floor, Tong Xin got off the elevator before Gao Sheng and I.
Gao Sheng then said to me with a wicked smile on his face: "Brother Chen, what's going on with you? Are you trying to be pretentious in front of a little girl?"
I smiled and said, "It's not what you think. This girl is quite funny. She doesn't even know my identity."
"It's normal. She seems to be new here and hasn't seen you before."
"She invited me for lunch today, which was quite fun."
"It's fun, don't overdo it! Be careful, Mr. An will kill you!"
I glanced at him and said, "Where are you thinking? Who do you think is as full of pornographic thoughts as you?"
When I returned to the company, I went directly to An Lan's office and chatted with her about the little girl named Tong Xin in the logistics department.
However, An Lan had no impression of her and didn't even know there was a person like her.
An Lan saw that I was interested in the little girl, so she asked me: "So did you go out to eat with her at noon?"
"She insisted on treating me to a meal at a maocai restaurant outside. This girl is quite interesting."
"What do you mean when you say this in front of me?" An Lan's sharp eyes shot straight at me.
I touched my nose and said with a smile: "I'm just telling you this to prevent you from thinking wildly. In fact, it's nothing. I just think this girl is funny. She doesn't know my identity yet."
"Then do I have to let her know?"
"No, it won't be fun if you know. This girl is very motivated. She says she has been looking for opportunities to get in touch with the leadership."
