Chapter 1023: Self-Admiration of the Histrionic Personality

Qin Hao had just come out of the office and was about to clock out when he bumped into Na Wei.

"Mr. Qin is off work."

Qin Hao smiled: "Yes, you still haven't gotten off work until it's time."

"Oh, I still have some unfinished business, so I'll stay and work overtime..."

Seeing Na Wei's coy look, Qin Hao knew that something was wrong with him: "You want something from me?"

"No, it's okay. What can I do? I just happened to pass by and get some water."

"But, I remember the tea room should be over there, right?"

Na Wei's face was full of embarrassment, Qin Hao patted his arm: "Okay, just tell me if you have anything to do. You also know that I hate guessing riddles the most."

"Isn't this what I did last time? My wife thinks we should thank Mr. Xiao Qin properly, so she wants to invite you to our house for a meal..."

Na Wei rubbed his hands: "Hey, I told her that Mr. Xiao Qin is so busy... You also know this woman..."

"What did I think it was? I have to go if there is something to eat. When?"

Qin Hao's words instantly relieved Na Wei's embarrassment.

"Do you have time after get off work tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's make a deal then, I'll save my stomach for tomorrow."

"Then you must eat well. I'm not bragging. The braised pork made by my wife is really excellent."

"Yeah, then I have to taste it."

Na Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you go about your business first."

"Okay, bring something good for my sister-in-law."

After Qin Hao left, Na Wei let out a long breath. In just a minute or two, he felt as if a century had passed. It wasn't that Qin Hao had put much psychological pressure on him. It was because he had changed at his age. I was trying to curry favor with a young man in his early twenties, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Just when Na Wei was about to return to his office, Jiang Shan emerged from nowhere and said with a joking face: "Brother, you are quick enough."

"What's going to happen quickly enough?"

"Pretend, keep pretending. Just now I saw you and Mr. Xiao Qin getting close to each other. That's right. Now the situation of our company is very clear. Mr. Ling's management level is average. Qin Feng is nonsense and will only cause chaos. , Xiao Qin has the final say every day now, as long as you please him well, you will have a lot to do in the future. "

Na Wei wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. What did he say? Inviting Qin Hao to dinner is not considered flattery? Who can believe it at this juncture?

"Brother, really don't feel embarrassed. We used to fawn over Big Brother. Don't look at Mr. Xiao Qin's youth, but his ability is definitely this." Jiang Shan gave a thumbs up.

"Not to mention other things, the hyaluronic acid mask he launched and the live-streaming e-commerce model came out, and now the entire industry is imitating it. The upstream and downstream industry chains that my brother had not connected for so many years, he suddenly opened up. , this is ability.”

Na Wei nodded with emotion: "Yes, it is indeed amazing. Two months ago, who would have thought that our company could achieve this performance."

"So, brother, don't be embarrassed, especially at this critical moment of layoffs. Who will go and who will stay? Isn't it just a matter of Mr. Xiao Qin's words?"

Na Wei knew that what Jiang Shan said was actually taking care of his face. Jiang Shan had a large number of customer resources in his sales hands, and no matter how many layoffs he did, it would not be his turn, but what about him? Loyalty, the only core competitiveness, is almost non-existent in Qin Lingling.

"Brother, I understand, thank you."

"Hi, who among us brothers is following whom?"

Afterwards, Na Wei worked overtime until ten o'clock in the evening before clocking out. Many employees in the company also got off work at about this time. After all, no one wanted to be among the 20% who were laid off.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Na Wei got home. He opened the door softly and found Shen Lin sitting on the sofa.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Shen Lin scratched her hair: "Can't sleep."

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you everything? Have you made an appointment with Mr. Xiao Qin?" Na Wei asked with concern.

Shen Lin hugged the pillow and analyzed with a solemn expression: "Husband, even if you are lucky enough not to be laid off this time, have you ever thought about your position in the company?"

"Position? I'm the vice president, where am I? So many people in the marketing department are not under my control. Everywhere the company spends money has to go through my signature, and it's my position. It's really interesting." Na Weibu He happily threw his coat on the sofa.

Shen Lin did not appease Na Wei, but said seriously: "Just because you are the vice president of the company, I am worried that your position is too high and you cannot reach this level with your ability..."

Before he finished speaking, Na Wei interrupted impatiently: "I don't like to hear what you are going to say. What do you mean that my ability cannot reach this level? What happened to my ability? I graduated from college with nothing and climbed up to now. , let you deny it with one sentence."

"Your only core competitiveness is loyalty, but now you have changed bosses. Does the new boss recognize your core competitiveness?"

Shen Lin did not wait for Na Wei's rebuttal and continued: "And do you feel that your company is different from before?"

"What's the difference?" Na Wei said unconvinced.

"In the past, most of your company's performance relied on cooperation with medical beauty institutions, so how to maintain a good relationship with the heads of these medical beauty institutions is the most important. This is also the greatest value of veterans like you, but it is different now. Your newly launched hyaluronic acid mask has suddenly opened up the consumer market. If I were your boss, I would definitely focus more on this in the future.”

After hearing what Shen Lin said, Na Wei was still unconvinced: "So what?"

"There are only a limited number of high-paying positions in a company. If you occupy the pit, how can the new boss promote new people? Otherwise, why do you think there are sudden layoffs? Just to let you old people give up your positions!"

"This layoff is just a signal. Your company will definitely continue to replace new blood in the future until all of you are kicked out."

Na Wei folded his arms and said unhappily: "Then according to what you say, it's no use trying to flatter Mr. Qin. I can only stretch my neck and wait for death. Then why treat him to dinner? I'll call him and tell him He won’t be coming tomorrow.”

Shen Lin was so angry that she slapped Na Wei's arm hard: "You insist on arguing with me, right? I'm just helping you analyze the current situation. You have a knife on your neck right now and you don't even know it."

"Okay, since you analyzed it so thoroughly, what do you think I should do now?"

Shen Lin thought for a moment and said, "Husband, why don't you take the initiative and ask Mr. Xiao Qin to remove you from your position as vice president."

"What a stupid idea you have, and you even took the initiative to demote me. Why don't you let me resign?" Na Wei exploded upon hearing this.

Before Shen Lin could answer, the door to her daughter Yueyue's room opened.

"Can you two stop talking so loud? It's so noisy."

There was no other way, Shen Lin and Na Wei could only go back to the room.

Shen Lin didn't care that Na Wei was still sulking, and lowered her voice and said: "Husband, I'm not kidding you. With your ability as a department manager, maybe people can let you do it because of your good execution ability. Keep working, but if you keep occupying the position of vice president, you might be laid off next time. You have forgotten what happened last time. Based on your current situation, can you still find a suitable job? "

Na Wei turned sideways and remained silent. He admitted that his wife's words were not completely unreasonable, but he was really unwilling to accept it. He finally climbed to the position of vice president and asked him to apply for demotion. How would his colleagues in the company view him then? ?

Seeing that Na Wei didn't respond at all, Shen Lin was also a little annoyed: "Huh, I can't stay at home any longer. I have to go out to work. Otherwise, when you are laid off one day, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind. "

"No, why are you drinking the northwest wind? Even if I am laid off by then, I will still have compensation and option rewards. No matter what, it will be enough for our family to live for a long time. Besides, in your hands Don’t you still have savings?”

"The money you don't put in your pocket is not yours. Sooner or later, you will be poor if you just sit there and have nothing. Anyway, I have decided that I will find a job after the Chinese New Year. This family must have other income."

Na Weijian couldn't convince Shen Lin, so he became sulky. He turned around and pretended to be asleep and ignored Shen Lin. Shen Lin was so angry that Shen Lin hit him on the back several times to vent her dissatisfaction.

The next day, when Na Wei went to work, he felt that there was a low pressure in the company, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Every employee came earlier than before, especially the senior executives who used to wait to come back at ten o'clock, but now it is eight thirty. Already arrived at the company.

The 20% layoffs will not be finalized for a day. There is a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, and everyone may be laid off.

In the marketing department office, Na Wei was a little absent-minded, and what Shen Lin said last night kept echoing in his mind.

Before I knew it, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.

Na Wei stared at Qin Hao's office eagerly, and when he saw him coming out, he hurriedly packed his things and chased after him.

"Mr. Xiao Qin."

Qin Hao smiled at Na Wei: "Mr., after a while, I won't drive anymore. Let's take your car back."

"Of course that's fine, but my car is a bit old." Na Wei said a little embarrassed.

"Hey, a car is a means of transportation, as long as it can reach the destination smoothly."

During rush hour after get off work, it took more than forty minutes to arrive at the community where the Wei family lived.

"Mr. Qin, please..."

Qin Hao smiled: "There's no need to be so polite. It's not the first time."

Speaking of this, the smile on Na Wei's face was somewhat embarrassing.

At Na Wei's house, Shen Lin was busy in the kitchen. When she heard the door open, she immediately shouted to her daughter: "Yue Yue, put away your homework and get ready for dinner."

"Oh." Yue Yue came to the door quickly and gave Na Wei a hug.

"Dad, you are back."

Na Wei rubbed his daughter's head: "This is dad's boss, why don't you hurry up and call someone."

"Hello uncle, I'll get you some slippers."

Qin Hao smiled at Na Wei and said, "That's always a blessing. It's really enviable to have such a well-behaved daughter."

Na Wei shook his head: "When he's well-behaved, he's pretty good, and when he's naughty, he's really naughty."

He made a face at Na Wei with increasing dissatisfaction, and then ran to the kitchen to complain to Shen Lin.

Shen Lin casually brushed it off and came to the living room.

"Mr. Xiao Qin, it's great to have you here. I never had the chance to thank you for what happened last time. So I just prepared some home-cooked food. Don't dislike it."

Qin Hao spread his hands: "Sister-in-law, what you said is obvious. You see, I came to the house twice without bringing anything. If you continue to be so polite, I won't come next time."

"Look, I said something wrong again. I'll be punished with a drink later. How about you guys sit down for a while and eat some fruit? There are two more dishes and the meal will start soon."

Just as the two were exchanging polite words, the doorbell rang again.

Na Wei and Shen Lin were both stunned, and both looked at each other. When they opened the door, they found that it was Shen Lin's brother Shen Lei and his wife Xie Meilan, and both of them looked a little ugly.

Shen Lin was a little at a loss for a moment. She had spent a lot of effort to invite Qin Hao to dinner, but her brother Shen Lei's expression was clearly troubled, and he also brought Xie Meilan with him. She couldn't ask the couple to go back.

Na Wei was also stunned. This situation was completely unexpected to him.

Before Na Wei and his wife could speak, Shen Lei said in a serious tone: "Sister, brother-in-law, we just came back from the hospital, and Meilan's mother has been diagnosed."

At this time, both Na Wei and Shen Lin fell into silence. Xie Meilan's mother has been in poor health. She came to the capital for a checkup before, and it was found that she had a lung problem. The doctor said before that the situation might not be optimistic. Now that she has confirmed the diagnosis, then It must be a serious illness, most likely lung cancer.

"Yes, in the early days..."

Xie Meilan burst into tears. Shen Lei put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Late stage."

"Then, are you planning to..."

Before Shen Lin could finish her words, Xie Meilan said categorically: "Treat it even if you bankrupt your family and fortune."

Shen Lei also agreed upon hearing this: "Even if there is only one percent hope, we will not give up."

Qin Hao is eating melon on the coffee table. Yes, eating melon in the real sense - cantaloupe.

Even though Xie Meilan looks heartbroken now, I think she is filial. In fact, her so-called filial piety is more of a self-impression of her acting personality.

We must know that for patients with advanced lung cancer, the cancer cells have spread, and all radiotherapy and chemotherapy are in vain, and will only increase the patient's pain.

Later, Xie Meilan also said to Shen Lei: With you, even if I live, I will not live well, and I will not die happily.

This line should actually be said to Xie Meilan's mother. It is estimated that if Xie's mother could stay sane, she would definitely persuade her: Just let me go and give me a happy life.

The most powerful evidence is that when Xie's mother was dying, it was Shen Lei, her son-in-law, who took care of her at the bedside. What did Xie Meilan do every day? Go to work as usual, even work overtime sometimes.

Being busy at work is not an excuse. When something like this happens, Xie Meilan will definitely get a leave if she wants to. What's more, Xie Meilan's boss, Lu Jie, is also interested in her.

To put it another way, even if Xie Meilan can't take leave, can't she resign?

Don't use the excuse that she has no money for medical treatment without a job. How effective can her monthly salary of 20,000 yuan a month be? In the end, wouldn't it be better to use up all the family's savings and borrow money from Lu Jie, who was interested in her?

As the saying goes, there is no filial son in bedside for a long time. Apart from borrowing money, Xie Meilan did not take care of her mother in bedside at all. On the contrary, Shen Lei, her uncle, took care of her wholeheartedly.

In the end, Xie Meilan blamed her mother's death on Shen Lei for not having the connections to find experts or borrowing money to use targeted drugs.

What kind of filial piety is this?

Purely self-moved, look at me taking on huge debts to save my mother, am I filial enough?
