Chen Jiaxian calmly changed the subject: "What is Zhou Ke's current position?"
At first, it was her friendship with Zhou Ke; later, it was her friendship, Zhou Ke, and Zhou Yixing; now, as her position grows, she and Zhou Yixing play more.
"She has always been a junior commissioner," Zhou Yixing said.
Zhou Ke is older than both of them. Chen Jiaxian thought that Zhou Ke was at least a senior commissioner: "How could that be?"
Zhou Yixing said: "It's normal for her to be like this. You and I are promoted quickly."
Chen Jiaxian repeated: "Promoted quickly?"
Zhou Yixing said matter-of-factly: "Zhou Ke's boss is Pan Qiaomu, but your and my boss is Jun Ziyi."
Chen Jiaxian said: "Isn't my boss Guan Xi?"
Zhou Yixing said: "Guan Xi can help you get a full-time job at most. Does she have the power to let you upgrade to three levels in a row?"
Chen Jiaxian was silent for two full minutes.
She whispered: "But Zhou Ke's working ability is better than mine."
Zhou Yixing said: "A good wind must rely on strength to reach the blue clouds."
On this day at the end of her 20s, Chen Jiaxian understood another truth: position is more important than work ability.
Power is an invisible big hand that can knock people into the mud or lift them into the sky.
But, if this is the truth, should it be this way?
The feeling of being a mayfly came back. Chen Jiaxian began to feel suffocated.
She understands, but she doesn't want to understand.
…
After completing the formalities at Yuecheng Company and returning to the Changlefang project, the project secretary immediately took out a few drawings: "Dear, here are three new workstations to choose from. Pick the one you like."
Chen Jiaxian looked at the internal red-headed document released just a minute ago in disbelief. Documents show that she will be transferred from the public relations department, and her direct boss will no longer be Guan Xi, but Yang Zhi.
It was about her transfer, and she had no prior knowledge of it.
Chen Jiaxian said as politely as possible: "I saw the email. I'm sorry to bother you to ask in person."
The project secretary smiled and said: "Print it out, it will be easier for you to read."
Chen Jiaxian suddenly realized:
The project secretary is managing upwards, and he has become the "upper".
So, what is the name of the project secretary?
She raised her head to read the project secretary's badge.
"Thank you, Xu Nan," she said, "but I don't want to move."
The project secretary's smile remained unchanged: "This is the entrance to the office. There are many people and your desk is too small."
Chen Jiaxian insisted: "I won't move."
The project secretary nodded and placed the three drawings in front of Chen Jiaxian: "Then you can choose."
…
Guan Xi called Chen Jiaxian into the office: "Why don't you change workstations?"
Chen Jiaxian looked at Guan Xi, and suddenly her nose felt a little sore.
"I won't change." She said angrily, "What's wrong with me sitting here?"
Guan Xi said: "You are no longer an intern assistant, why are you unwilling to accept the new work arrangement?"
Chen Jiaxian said: "I don't know, if you accept the new arrangement, you have to give up what you already have."
Guan Xi looked at her and said nothing for a long time.
After thinking for a moment, Guan Xicai said: "Why do you think so? Changing from one work direction to another is just an ordinary job change, why can't you accept it?"
Chen Jiaxian looked at Guan Xi steadily.
She asked with tears in her eyes: "Why are you so calm? Can you accept it no matter what? Is there nothing outstanding about me as your assistant that you can't bear to part with? Even without me, if it were anyone else, as long as I By following you, she can live a good life, right? Position is always more important than the person, right?"
Guan Xi returned his gaze to the computer: "You are trying to get into trouble, and I refuse to answer your question."
…
Returning to her workstation, Chen Jiaxian opened her mailbox and saw an email copied to her from Guan Xi to Zhou Yixing, senior project personnel specialist, applying for a new assistant.
So what do you think?
Chen Jiaxian sat at the door of Guan Xi's office, feeling cold all over.
…
There was a knock on the door, and Guan Xi said, "Come in."
Chen Jiaxian pushed the door in without saying a word and closed the door tightly with her backhand.
Neither of them spoke first.
After a long stalemate, Guan Xi sighed: "We have to say goodbye."
…
How do people say goodbye?
Chen Jiaxian raised a pair of brown eyes, like boiling mud or bubbling lava.
Guan Xi said: "I am your first leader after working, right? When you come to a new environment, I am the first person to help you and guide you, so you will trust and rely on me wholeheartedly."
Chen Jiaxian said: "Yes."
Guan Xi said: "Is it necessary to complicate a simple relationship?"
Chen Jiaxian said nothing.
Guan Xi said: "What you have is just a nestling complex. When you first met me, I became your emotional sustenance. You don't need to have such feelings for me."
Chen Jiaxian said forcefully: "I don't need you to define my feelings."
Guan Xi sighed and changed his words: "Let's keep things official, okay? You are one of the countless children I have taken care of, and I am one of your countless bosses in the future. To you, I will not be the worst Yes, but not the best.”
Chen Jiaxian clenched her clothes with both hands and said forcefully: "To you, I am just one of countless people, right?"
Guan Xi nodded emotionlessly: "Yes."
Chen Jiaxian's tears flowed down.
Guan Xi turned a blind eye: "I am just a passerby in your career. No one can take you forever, not me, and no one can. Your path can only be walked by yourself."
Chen Jiaxian ignored the tears on her face. She slowly loosened her grip on her clothes and put her hands into her pants pockets. There was the work ID card she had stolen from Guan Xi's office.
She held on to her work card tightly.
Guan Xi noticed her little movement: "Do you have anything to give me?"
Chen Jiaxian shook her head vigorously: "No."
Of course she was lying.
No matter how she gets it, it will become her nourishment.
And she will continue to walk on, with the courage to destroy everything.
Guan Xi stood up and saw Chen Jiaxian out for the first and last time: "You are no longer my assistant. I will see you off."
Chen Jiaxian stepped out of Guan Xi's office. She looked back.
Guan Xi looked at Chen Jiaxian tenderly: "It's your turn to take charge. Goodbye."
…
Chen Jiaxian changed to a new workstation.
In the most secluded corner, the desk is a few times wider than before, with a rack for hanging clothes and a cabinet for personal items.
Right next to her was the floor-to-ceiling window. In super first-tier cities, light, like silence, is a luxury.
She opened her collaborative office software, and the title above had changed to Senior Specialist. She opened her mailbox again and saw her promotion announcement.
Chen Jiaxian got up and went to the tea room. As soon as she walked in, the design supervisor said hello: "Hi, Xiao Jiaxian."
Chen Jiaxian held the cup and smiled at him.
The design director leaned next to the coffee machine: "Have you heard? Zhou Weiqiang was fired from the company for deliberately destroying public office supplies in the office."
Chen Jiaxian's mind was spinning and she nodded without saying anything.
The design director whispered: "I heard that Zhou Weiqiang publicly accused our public relations director Sun Jiwen of engaging in 'workplace bullying', right?"
Chen Jiaxian didn't say yes or no, she just smiled.
Seeing that Chen Jiaxian didn't reply, the design director smiled, asked what Chen Jiaxian wanted to drink, and took the initiative to help her operate the coffee machine, like a truly enthusiastic gentleman.
In fact, after working together for so long, this was the first time that the design director took the initiative to talk to her.
What about before?
The design director could not see her as a person at all.
