Perhaps life is unpredictable. When I graduated, I was full of ambitions. When I stepped out of school, I set my goal for myself was to buy a car in three years, buy a house in five years, get married and have children at the age of 30, and then live a comfortable and happy life.
Eight years have passed. I am 33 years old and only own a used car. As for the original goal, it has long become a dream. Just when I wanted to give up, I listened to my parents and returned to my hometown, the appearance of a woman changed all this and even made my dream a reality.
My name is Li Jinlong, and her name is Wang Haiying. She is a woman ten years older than me. When I met her, she was at a birthday party of a colleague. That day, although she was not the protagonist and she was not the best-looking one on the day, her generous personality and the temperament of the elder sister she exuded are still fresh in my memory.
met her again. She came to our company to discuss cooperation. I thought she had forgotten me as a little person, but unexpectedly, after she saw me, she appointed me to contact her. Her actions made the leader, who has always been snobbish, look up to me.
After more than a month of negotiations, she was not very satisfied with our company's products, but due to my affection, she still signed a one-year contract.
This made me, who was thinking about staying there for another year and was about to go back to my hometown, ushered in the dawn of hope again. When I got the bonus, I left the idea of returning to my hometown behind.
According to Wang Haiying, the reason for signing this order was that she regarded me as a friend.
After getting the bonus, I naturally wouldn't pretend to be stupid. I bought a few boxes of supplements that are said to be beauty and skin care, and the price was even more expensive, but when I think of her identity and background, I really can't make it cheap.
She seemed very happy about my visit and didn't care much about the gifts I bought. Perhaps this is the gap between me and her. Things that I dare not see normally are still unavailable in her eyes.
But the truth is that I was thinking too much. She didn't like what I bought, but she liked me to see her more.
After chatting with me for a while, she gave the nanny a day off and said she wanted to make a meal for me personally. This surprised me and I don’t know why she was so kind to me.
When she was cooking, I naturally wouldn't sit there, but went to the kitchen and started to fight her. At this time, there were only us in the room, and the chat atmosphere became relaxed and humorous. At this time, she lost the temperament of her eldest sister, but she was more like a housewife.
During the meal, when I talked to me about my salary and benefits, I told her without hiding it because in my opinion, my little money is not yet at the point where I need to hide it.
After listening to me, she paused for a moment and said, "Dragon, why don't you come to my company and your salary will double, and you will guarantee to double again in two years."
To be honest, I was really moved by such treatment, but in order to look less promising, I said with a smile; "Sister Haiying, thank you for your kindness. I am quite satisfied with my current job now, and I have no idea to change jobs for the time being."
I thought that after I finished saying this, she would show a satisfied look like in the TV series, and then smiled and said to me, "A good boy values friendship and other words, but every sentence she said next was stuck in my heart.
"Dragon, it's 33 this year. I heard you say that you haven't bought a house yet. Do you want to sink into it? Don't you want to make a name for yourself? Even if you go back to your hometown and do well, and go back to call Yijin to return home, what's your name when you go back now? Others will only say that you can't make it in a big city and you have returned to your hometown. I don't need to say the difference between the two. You should understand how big the gap is. It has nothing to do with whether your mentality is good. Even a saint will not feel good when facing sarcasm, let alone a mortal like you and me?"
Although what she said was unpleasant, it was indeed a fact, which caused ripples in my heart again.
Seeing my changes, her face became gentle and continued, "Come to my company, what I said before is the truth."
" OK."
In this way, I switched to her company and my position changed. I was no longer a sales manager, but a general manager assistant, who was her assistant.
In three months, I went to various parties and various alcoholic parties with her, which made me very confused because most of her gatherings were small managers, which was very different from her identity.
After she attended again, I couldn't help asking the reason, and she said with a smile, "Don't look down on anyone, especially in our industry. Maybe one day, some of them will help you. Even if you can never use it, the so-called human shadow tree bark is all about face. "
I nodded in a vague way, and I couldn't fully understand what she meant, but I just felt that she was saying something reasonable.
At this time, some rumors appeared in the company, saying that I followed the leader all day long, did nothing, and ate delicious food and drink spicy food all day long. Even in the meeting, when I was present, several department managers talked about this in public.
When facing their words, she did not explain too much, but said a few points less and then changed the topic. When I was sending her home in the evening, she said to me with a smile, "Don't care about what happened today, I'm optimistic about you. "
Later, when someone talked about me, she always came forward to protect me. Seeing that I couldn't beat me up, many people who changed their attitude towards me made a 180-degree turn to me, and some even started to give me gifts, which also gave me a nickname "second leader". In an environment like
, after a year of training around her, I was mentioned to her position as a department manager. My appointment was recognized by everyone. Even if someone was dissatisfied, there was still a bright smile on his face.
Just when I felt good about myself, I heard her talk with another leader.
"Haiying, are you a bit sloppy when you lift Li Jinlong up? Is he worthy? "
" You don't have to worry about this, I feel that he is worthy. "
" Then if you say that, I will persuade you. I really don't know what you like about him. He looks average and has no outstanding abilities. Is it because he is young? "
" You are right, half of it, in addition to his youth, I also like his personality very much. "
" Look at how he looked like he was smiling all over his face. I hope he was not Pan Renmei . "
" Even if he is Pan Renmei, I will admit it. "
is ridiculous, sad, and even a little pitiful. After hearing this sentence, except for surprise, these three feelings were very strong. I was ridiculous and thought that I was really capable. The sad thing was that my success was given by her, and the sad thing was that everything I got was just her liked me.
When I sent her home in the evening, when I was about to arrive, I smiled and said, "Sister Haiying, I want to eat the food you cooked. "
" OK, don't leave today, I'll do it for you. "
The reason why I said this is because I want to make it clear to her tonight.
She seemed to see what I wanted to say. Whenever I muster up the courage to say it, she would interrupt me. After a few times, when she asked me to say it, I couldn't say it. Finally, I only said one sentence, "Sister, eat more."
Seeing me, she laughed "haha".
also said in a complimentary tone; "So good." "
After dinner, I sat next to her swimming pool, and my eyes gradually became firm.
At this moment, she jumped down from the other side of the swimming pool, watching her figure in the water gradually approaching me, and the last struggle in her heart disappeared.
When she swam in front of me, when she got ashore, she looked at me staring at her, and she seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "Along, we have known each other for so long, how do you feel about me. "
" is very good to me. "
I didn't say much. I just struggled with my heart, and I really couldn't say much.
"Then how about I marry you?"
Although I was prepared, my heart still skipped a beat.
"Okay, but I hope there is a child who takes my last name."
Maybe this is my inner heart, the last stubbornness.
She was stunned for a moment, smiled and touched my head and said, "Why are you still so cute?" After I got together, I realized that what she said about marrying me was not to let me marry into my family and become a son-in-law, but just to say it casually.
A year later, she and I held a wedding. Although I did not receive my parents' sincere blessings, I think they wouldn't blame me so much in my heart when they saw them living in the big new house she bought.
After I met her, I realized one thing: opportunity is more important than talent. No matter how great the talent is, it is equal to zero. As the saying goes, "A horse that is often found in a thousand miles is often found in a man's heart, but not in a man's heart."
