Pity

Author Little Sun's Star and Heart

Life is like a galloping carriage, there are bumps and rocks that block the road, it will fall and fall, it depends on the driver's mind, and the bluestone road that is occasionally broken by horses' hooves will be broken, cracked and cracked. It is obvious but always there, just like it is engraved on the heart board, it will not be forgotten, and when I look back on it a few years later, there is nothing left but sadness.

Her name is Peach, and it was a regret in my workplace when I was 24 years old.

The boss, who was very happy at the time, was eager to expand his overseas business, so he urgently recruited an overseas secretary to be in charge of business, translation and reception, so in addition to me, there was a new business secretary, that is Taozi.

Peach gave herself a charming and lovely name, but I suspect that she took the wrong name. She is not a gentle and sweet pink peach, she is a red rose with thorns.

Taozi first arrived. As her senior, I enthusiastically introduced everything about the company to her, and it didn’t take long for her to become acquainted with her. She is very talkative, unlike me, who doesn’t like to talk about family affairs. She and I don’t know much. God, just talking about her family affairs, she told me that she was poor since she was a child, and she couldn't pay the health insurance premiums at home. Several years of health insurance premiums have been paid, and now the family finally enjoys health insurance….

She was quite complacent about her contribution and achievements to the family as the eldest daughter. For me, who lived in the elite area of the metropolis since I was a child, I couldn't pay the health insurance premium of hundreds of dollars, and the whole family owed it for several years? This sounds like a fantasy to me, and I was stunned when I heard it.

On the second day of coming to the company, the boss, Manager Lin, asked Taozi to photocopy the documents. When Taozi returned, he was holding a lot of photocopies in his hand. He passed by my seat, leaned over and whispered to me, "I didn't come to photocopy! "Seems to be quite dissatisfied with the job she was given. I thought to myself, you don't want to print these negotiation materials with customers, do you want to ask your boss, Manager Lin, or my senior, to print them? However, I have only known people for 48 hours. Forget it, I smiled and said nothing.

At noon, we always eat together. Before she comes, the man who always invites me to dinner is the male accountant of the company. This accountant is a heavenly soldier. He seems to have not eaten for three days. , but also take out a huge bag of rice, I am not used to it. When I was a teenager in my twenties, I was embarrassed to turn down his invitation to lunch. Peaches came and did me a big favor.

Although Taozi will not eat as much as a male accountant, nor will she be greedy for petty cheapness, but her problem is that her pockets are empty and there is no money in her wallet...

She always said that when the first salary is paid, she will definitely invite me back to eat good food. I think it's just a few bowls of braised pork rice, a few bowls of pasta, a few commercial packages... What's there to pay back? don't care.

She kept saying that she would pay me back for my lunch and treat me to a big meal, but I couldn't wait until this day...

Not long after she came in, the real big trial came! The four companies of Japanese customers are coming to negotiate important business separately. The boss is bound to win this time, which is also the main reason why the company hires Taozi.

For the client's visit, Taozi paid a lot of money to have a big wavy hair perm. The boss is a well-known appearance association. Taozi herself has beautiful facial features and a graceful figure. She applies powder makeup and bright colors. The red nicotine and her exaggerated curly hair made her look like a sturdy red rose ready to go to the commercial battlefield.

But it is a pity that her red and beautiful image is not favored by the boss. The boss does not like red roses, but peaches. When she appeared in the company with a big curly hair like Zhang Ailing in Shanghai in the 1930s, the first person to react was neither Manager Lin nor me, but the boss.

The boss didn't see her for 30 seconds, so he pulled me aside and said, "That...how about a peach? What's that hot? The client won't like it! Hurry! You go and tell her to get it straight back! Really...can you see it? ?!"

A person who can't even pay for lunch, you ask her to get straight? And boss, you must be taking care too much, right? I thought to myself.

Three minutes ago, Taozi happily told me how seriously she dressed up for a client's visit, and she spent a long time saving money to perm this latest trendy and super expensive hairstyle... Within three minutes, my left ear was filled. Jin Taozi's excitement, the boss's dissatisfaction rushed to his right ear, as if he had taken a sauna.

In the face of such her, to the boss's order. I really couldn't say anything, so I smiled and said nothing.

I asked Manager Lin to speak, and Manager Lin waved his hand and said, "What do you tell a woman about her hair? I don't want it!"

Then...then I don't want it either! A childish ghost in my twenties, like me, didn't know that this was a major event that would later affect Taozi's career, and decided not to say anything at that time.

Finally, the two big deals that the boss is bound to win are here! It is negotiable that the company's money is rolling in, but the ten-day travel reimbursement for employees in Europe cannot be negotiated. Everyone in the company was trembling like an enemy. All the itinerary planning and liaison arrangements were full and exciting, and they almost turned me over.

Speaking of this itinerary planning, in addition to business negotiation and visiting customers, Yangmingshan, Muzha Maokong, the Forbidden City, Linsen North Road... From outings, art visits, to adjusting the body and mind, there are all kinds of things, I and I have everything. The peach soldiers are divided into two groups, one person leads two companies, two routes, non-stop every day, during the daytime meeting, by the way, goodwill and sightseeing, and at night, they have to go to the company for a meeting.

During the day, I entertain customers, translate and drink with laughter, eat and drink spicy food, and at night there are hot springs and tea-making trips, but in fact, it is work, and I have no mood to travel. Turning wrong is often the boss's eyes. But basically my clients and I are like friends.

What I like more is that the boss arranged for Linsen North Road, so that I can go home earlier that day without accompanying me. Although the ladies from Linsen North Road are not as fluent in Japanese as I am, they have transcendence language and do not need mine. , words between men and women, so I'm also happy to let them go.

Sometimes when the boss is not there, clients will ask me to go to Linsen North Road, and the ladies there will be very happy to chat with me, bring me a lot of delicious food, and help me keep out the wine, except for the bill when I leave. Aside from the surprise, other wines are poured upside down. I don't reject them, and I think it's very fun. Before leaving, the lady will chase after the door, blow kisses to customers and give me sweet words and explanations. , "I must bring them again next time, remember, it's "Xiang x"! Not next door! Make no mistake! "

In retrospect, I lived a period of "Bliss Taiwan", and the controversial book "Bliss Taiwan" was indeed not exaggerated.

Once I was drunk and full of food, I was full of alcohol, and I kissed a client inexplicably. It was completely emotionless. Of course, after the incident, neither of us admitted it, and we agreed in unison. It was everyone who was drunk and misunderstood! Fortunately, I was not seen by the men at the time, otherwise the murder and dismemberment tragedy would have occurred sooner, let alone writing about it here (smile).

Back to the original topic, back to the peach. Because of the reception in batches over the past few days, Taozi and I have not been able to talk properly for many days. One night we had a meeting and finally met at the company.

Peaches looked weird, and the boss who was with her also had a bad face. I ask what's wrong?

Taozi looked angry and resentful, "I'm a translator, and I'm not here to accompany the wine! Why should I pour wine for them?!"

I almost dropped my jaw when I heard it, peach! If you don't pour the wine, do you want the boss to pour it?

I say peaches! Did you tell your boss this? ! Before Peach could answer me, I was dragged to a meeting to translate.

The next day, the clients were finally leaving. I was about to get in the car, and I looked around and couldn't find the peach. Strange, her own client, didn't she deliver it?

I jumped out of the car to look for Manager Lin and asked where is Peach? Manager Lin gave me a decapitation gesture, "Peach what peach? You're still running away! Peach shows his face to the guests, the business seems to be ruined! The boss is very angry! The boss has given an order! The boss said that he came back from the airport. From now on, I don’t want to see Peaches again!”

"Clams?!" I was so surprised that my mouth wide open could swallow a bunch of worms.

"How did this happen?! What happened?" I asked.

Before Manager Lin could explain, the uncle of general affairs had already shouted, "Miss secretary! Are you going to get in the car? The whole car is waiting for you!"

"Get on! Get on! I'll get in the car!"

I was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Manager Lin, "You help me keep her, wait for me to come back! Wait for me to come back! Wait for me to come back!..." I don't know how many times I said, wait for me to come back....

After sending off the client and returning to the company, the peach seat in front of me was clean and there was nothing left, as if no one had ever sat there.

I gave Manager Lin a look, where's Peach?

Manager Lin didn't do anything for me, and spread his hands to me, "Don't look at me, this is the boss's order."

Just like that, Taozi left. I only knew her for two weeks. Since then, I have never seen her again. I just remember that the last thing she said to me was, "I'm not a restaurant girl!"

The me now, looking back on this matter, if I told her clearly then, "You are here to make a photocopy! You need to pour wine! You go and straighten your hair, the boss doesn't like it!" Is it everything? Will things change?

I don't know what has passed, I only know that she appeared and disappeared for a short time, turning into a rift and regret engraved in my heart. I've only known her for two weeks, but I remember many things about her deeply. When I think of her, I wonder if she still owes her health insurance premiums? She doesn't need to pay me back, but I'm worried if she has any money in her pocket?

But she didn't show up after that...

A lot of things are just between one mind, the content of work, the level of occupation, the position of people's poverty, wealth and wealth... are all the values that people give them, in fact, there is no contact (at least I don't, sometimes it is I love to play), just like a waiter in a restaurant pouring wine, she doesn't want to, that's not forcing. If I can still meet Peaches, I want to tell her,

"Without bullying, contempt, and equality, don't think too much about anything, you just need to do the job in front of you!! With your talent, you will definitely succeed!"

I hope she lives a good life in a certain corner of the world, with deep blessings.
