Xue Ling raised his chin and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't mean anything else, I just hope you won't be aggressive all the time. We are just colleagues, not your slaves. You don't need to always have a condescending and arrogant attitude."
Deputy Director Zhen's face turned white and red, and he said angrily: "You - how dare you talk to me like this!"
She has a university degree and was promoted to editor-in-chief shortly after joining the newspaper. Later, the deputy director was transferred to the newspaper in the next city, and she became the deputy director.
In this newspaper office, she is only lower than Director Liu, and everyone else can only be under her jurisdiction.
Ever since she was promoted to deputy director, no one has ever dared to say such a thing in front of her!
This is the opposite!
Xue Ling stared at her, his eyes wide, without the slightest hint of timidity.
"Why don't you dare? I am a regular employee recruited by the newspaper, and so are you. Everyone here is. We are employed by the newspaper and work for the newspaper, not for you. You are one of our managers, not God
, let alone the Queen, who can always insult us casually! We are colleagues, superiors and subordinates, we are not your slaves, we must be obedient to you and be obedient to you!"
Deputy Director Zhen was not a sharp-tongued person to begin with. When Xue Ling retorted like this, he felt angry, anxious and ashamed. He couldn't react at the moment and was hesitant and speechless.
There was silence in the office, and everyone was stunned, staring at them with confused faces.
Xue Ling felt that it was not enough, so he burst out all the anger he had been holding in for a while.
"You take all the credit at work and pass on all the mistakes, big and small, to your colleagues. Only by working together, discussing and caring for each other, can we have a good working atmosphere. You stay around for other people's mistakes every day, and you always make mistakes.
You get angry and stare at your colleagues all day long to find out their mistakes. It’s really hard to work with someone like you!”
"I have not offended you, but you have repeatedly found opportunities to scold me. Every time I submit a manuscript, you always stop in front of Editor Lin, eager to find out my mistakes. I work carefully and conscientiously, but you seem to be on guard.
Watch out for me like a thief, trying to catch me in my mistakes!"
"The bus didn't leave. Wang Qing came here on foot, and her shoes and socks were soaked. As a colleague, I came over to care about her, but you called me 'nagging' and scolded me for being lazy? Why don't I walk away?
In less than half a minute, I was scolded so unpleasantly by you!"
"You are the director, you are the leader, but you cannot use bird feathers as command arrows! This is too disrespectful to colleagues and people! Only by respecting others can others respect you!"
The office was still as quiet as a pin drop, and everyone stared blankly at each other with different expressions.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Suddenly a round of applause sounded!
Everyone woke up from a dream and instinctively looked at the person applauding - it was Liu Xing!
He stood up slowly, clapped and shouted: "Xue Ling! Well said! Well said! You said what I had been holding in my stomach for several years! Thank you! Thank you!"
Deputy Director Zhen's face turned red and he gritted his teeth in anger: "You--you don't want to do it anymore, right?"
Liu Xing was also angry and raised his chin: "It's not up to you to decide whether we want to do it or not! It's the newspaper that hired us, not you! You have no right to fire us!"
"You - I'm going to tell the director now!" Deputy Director Zhen shouted: "Show him your arrogant face! Let him kick you all out!"
Everyone was startled one after another and looked at Xue Ling and Liu Xing hurriedly and nervously.
Editor Lin on the side couldn't stand it any longer and loudly said: "Deputy Director, what you said is wrong. Our newspaper has regulations. Unless a colleague has made serious mistakes many times, he cannot be fired. Xue Ling and Liu Xing did not make any mistakes.
Error, you can’t do this!”
The reaction of the masses is like this. Once the first person eats the crab, others will become bolder and immediately agree.
"That's right! Deputy Director, they are just giving you advice, are you okay with that?"
"Among colleagues, there is a lot to communicate at work, and it is normal to chat occasionally. Besides, it is also a good thing for colleagues to care about each other's lives! Only by building a good relationship and helping each other can we work together better to get things done.
good."
"Harmony is the most important thing in everything, don't talk nonsense! At their age, they are originally angry youths, so they must be more straightforward when speaking. Moreover, I-I don't think what they said is wrong. You are not easy to get along with.
, everyone can see it.”
"Yes! What Xue Ling said just now is right. You are just your boss, and you have a superior-subordinate relationship with us. You always have a superior attitude and are arrogant towards us. Can't you just say it well if you have something to say? Fei
You have to be loud first, then curse! Sometimes it’s really hard to bear!”
When one person speaks, others speak one after another.
In less than a moment, everyone in the office was talking about it.
Wang Qing cried with tears in her eyes and gulped: "You are going too far! Xue Ling just helped me. I walked for a long time and my feet were frozen. She even helped me take off my shoes and socks... She just
Come help me and show some concern for me, do you need to scold me so harshly?!"
She has always been timid and a weak writer. She has a literati vibe about her. She doesn't know how to quarrel or shed a few tears in one sentence.
Editor Lin always loved Wang Qing and Xue Ling, and when he saw Wang Qing crying, he felt heartbroken and once again joined the ranks of "crusade" against Deputy Director Zhen.
Deputy Director Zhen was arguing with one person and scolding another, one on the left and one on the right. He was overwhelmed when he saw that everyone had joined forces to attack him. He was so angry and anxious that he even gasped for air.
"Quiet! Quiet!" Director Liu hurried out and looked at everyone in panic, "What's going on?! What are you doing? What's going on?! What's going on?"
He was on the phone in the office. He was getting older and his ears were not that sharp anymore. Halfway through the conversation on the phone, he noticed that there seemed to be a commotion outside.
He thought it was because his colleagues were having an enthusiastic discussion about important matters, and the silence should be restored soon. Unexpectedly, the noise became louder and louder. It seemed that something big had happened. He was so frightened that he dropped the phone in a hurry and ran out in a hurry.
Is this a quarrel?! Not only two or three people, but about twenty colleagues in the entire office are quarreling!
Director Liu was shocked again!
The colleagues who work in the newspaper office, except for the old aunt in the kitchen and the security guards outside, are all highly educated and high-quality literati.
Normally, everyone speaks in a gentle and polite manner. Except for the occasional loud jokes, they are usually friendly and cheerful.
This kind of quarrel was the first time that everyone was quarreling together!
Deputy Director Zhen shouted "Ouch!" and shouted: "Director! You are finally here! You - come and help me with the review!"
Director Liu shouted irritably: "Shut up, everyone! Quiet! Quiet!"
Xue Ling raised his hands to stop all the shouting of his colleagues.
