An Qi jumped out of the taxi, opened the corner door of the corridor, and started climbing stairs one by one.
The company she works for is engaged in trading, and together with the boss and the proprietress in charge of finance, there are only seven people working in the boss's old house.
This building is very old and the elevator has expired. Fortunately, the office is only on the twelfth floor, which is not particularly high.
When An Qi reached the fifth floor, she was out of breath and had to stop.
Her right hand subconsciously touched her belly, and a smile appeared on her face.
At the age of thirty-five, she finally has her own baby. Her husband will definitely be smiling from ear to ear, and her parents-in-law will no longer be nagging her in her ears, right?
She rested for a while and continued climbing. One level after another, one level after another.
The huge arrow on the wall is dazzlingly red, and the pictures and slogans posted above are even more eye-catching.
"Did you send the letter to Garcia today?"
"Don't ask why or how, because Rowan didn't ask either!"
"There are always more solutions than difficulties, as long as you are willing to think about it!"
This entire corridor is a display wall for their company's corporate culture.
The boss, Mr. Pan, didn’t know where he got the lesson. He learned a story about taking the initiative. From then on, he was like a treasure. He poured it into everyone’s heads every day, wishing that he could turn these only five employees into responsible and promising Luo Wen.
Luo Wen, a legendary figure in a certain foreign war of country A. Although he was an ordinary low-level officer, he became famous for successfully delivering an important letter to the rebel leader Garcia.
The difficulty of this mission was that no one knew where Garcia was or how to find him, but Rowan did it.
He took over the task without hesitation, not asking why, not asking where the person was, let alone how to find him, but doing his best to complete the mission.
The legendary deeds of this legendary figure became an instant hit, and countless leaders drew nourishment from it.
Of course, it's not that they want to learn anything from Rowan, but they use it to teach and expect their employees to become people like Rowan.
Have the courage to take responsibility, think proactively, do not ask why or what to do, and complete the task perfectly.
Everyone wants such subordinates, or simply strives to motivate current employees to become such subordinates.
This is corporate culture and has nothing to do with money, so they are not prepared to pay a penny more for it - Rowan didn't mention money back then, right?
After finally climbing to the twelfth floor, An Qi opened the door and swiped her card. She felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the office.
When several colleagues saw her coming in, they did not say hello or joke as before, but mostly lowered their heads and avoided her gaze.
"Sister An Qi, Mr. Pan came to see you just now. You should go to his office." Xiao Lin, the salesperson led by An Qi, told her.
When he said this, he blinked slightly. An Qi understood that this was because the boss was in a bad mood and asked her to be careful.
An Qi didn't think much about it. Although today is a rest day, the company's practice is to never rest, so she asked for leave and was prepared to have her wages withheld.
There was no way, this matter was too important, and she really couldn't wait any longer.
"Mr. Pan, are you looking for me?" She knocked on the door in the inner room.
"Come in." Mr. Pan's voice contained no emotion or anger: "Sit down."
An Qi sat down a little uneasily, and saw Mr. Pan raise his head: "An Qi, you came in the year I started the business, and you are the oldest employee in the company."
An Qi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pan, it's been more than ten years in a flash."
She was fooled into the company by Mr. Pan's words right after she graduated from college. She worked hard with him from scratch until now, and now she has become an employee of the company.
It's just that the company did not thrive because of dreams and passion. Instead, after many twists and turns, the company still maintained the true character of a few employees.
An Qi didn't know what Mr. Pan was thinking, but when she thought about it sometimes, she thought it wasn't too bad.
Although some of the trading companies at the same time as them have become bigger, most of them are no longer around.
It's not enough compared to the top, but it's more than enough than the bottom. Being able to persevere is already better than most people.
"Over the years, everyone has moved forward, and our company has also changed." Mr. Pan continued.
An Qi didn't quite understand this sentence. Changed weather? Why didn't she see it?
"I mean, look at the company's employees. Although there are not many, they are all elites." Mr. Pan said.
"That's true," An Qi responded following his words.
"The salesperson you lead, Xiao Lin, has a graduate degree and is currently learning financial accounting knowledge."
"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zheng were all recruited by you. Everyone is excellent and eager to learn."
"Over the years of the company, many people have come and gone, but you are the only one left who has remained unchanged."
Mr. Pan looked at An Qi's face, his expression was very serious and solemn, which was really not the look he should have when chatting and reminiscing about old times.
"What I mean by unchanged is not only that the people are always there, but also that your personal abilities and knowledge reserves are still the same as they were more than ten years ago. There is no change."
An Qi stood up anxiously: "Mr. Pan, actually I do too"
She wanted to explain that it wasn't that she didn't want to use her spare time to improve herself over the years, but that she didn't have the time.
She really didn't have time. In the first few years, she worked as an accountant and salesperson for three people, and she was busy from morning to night every day.
Later, the company improved and hired more people. She was also responsible for training new employees and contacting customers. There was a lot of administrative work, even 996 was missing.
She always thought that all her efforts were in the eyes of Mr. Pan, so no matter how many people in the company changed, she would always be there.
Unexpectedly, now she is disliked by Mr. Pan.
"You don't need to explain this, and I don't want to hear why." Mr. Pan waved his hand and interrupted her.
"An Qi, you can no longer keep up with the pace of the company, so..." He took out an envelope that he had prepared long ago: "Thank you for everything you have done for the company over the years."
An Qi took the envelope numbly, opened it and took a look.
The resignation letter, plus two thousand yuan, is all.
She didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to her too. For a moment, my mouth was extremely bitter, which was in sharp contrast to the joy of giving birth to a new life.
"Mr. Pan, you can't do this. I have been following you since graduation. There is no credit but hard work."
She spoke dryly, trying to change the mind of the person in front of her.
"The company also paid you corresponding remuneration for the work you did before, so no one owes anything to anyone. The two thousand yuan is considered as a subsidy for you in my own name."
Mr. Pan said coldly.
Seeing his expression, An Qi knew that the matter was irreversible.
When Sister Chen left last month, her eyes were red from crying, and Mr. Pan had such a calm expression.
How could An Qi, who has been a subordinate for so many years, not understand that Mr. Pan is impatient.
He won't be moved by the emotion card, he'll just be bored by it.
Additional stamps will be added if the monthly pass is over 20! I saved up another twenty pieces last night, Xiaohai worked hard to get them ready, thank you dear friends!
