Chapter 5

In many cases, a person's work pressure comes not only from his own ability but also from the working environment.

The same is the department manager, Zhong Lin and his department, and even the entire company, most of the people are more harmonious and friendly, and the departments are also working together.

Zhou Yijin and his company are in a completely different state.

Their boss pursues a wolfish culture, and colleagues are full of intrigues.

The cause of this incident was that last night Zhou Yijin took his business girl to dinner with the boss of a certain company. The boss would not be a man after drinking a few cups of horses, pretending to be crazy and molesting the salesman. , he couldn't lose face and naturally refused to let it go.

Zhou Yijin made a rescue, but the opponent's attitude was arrogant.

Finally almost started fighting.

The consequence of this incident was that the company lost a big client, and the leader held him accountable. If he had explained it clearly, there would be no way to recover it in the future. Moreover, for that kind of client, any sensible leader would not be able to blame his own people.

The disgusting thing is that the salesman was afraid of taking responsibility, so he lied afterwards and put the blame on Zhou Yijin.

In addition, the deputy manager of their department has a close relationship with the leader, and they often try to pry Zhou Yijin's position behind their backs, but they have mediocre abilities. They are always beaten by Zhou Yijin in business, and they feel jealous. This incident gave her Opportunity to make a big fuss.

Zhou Yijin is very smart and eloquent, and he grew up in a very loving family, so even though he has been used to intrigue over the years, he still retains that part of his personality that is optimistic, confident and straightforward.

Zhong Lin has never seen him so depressed since he has known him for a long time. After listening to him explain the cause and effect, he was very angry in his heart: "Aren't you just taking advantage of them by resigning now? It's too embarrassing to leave like this."

"So what if I go back for revenge? The leader is selfish, and I can't win in the end. In fact, I wanted to resign before. I am really annoyed by this kind of flattery outside every day, and I have to communicate with people when I return to the company. It’s time for calculations, and it used to be for the sake of money, but now the entire industry is in a downturn, the overall performance is declining, and the company is still trying to squeeze us, and the money we get is one-third less than before. I don’t want to be fooled by this bird gone."

Although Zhong Lin felt sorry for him, he also felt that it would be meaningless to stay in that environment: "That's right, it's not that there is no choice, there is no need to wrong yourself, capable people can get along well wherever they go. "

"Stop talking about me. I'm full of negative energy here. Let's talk about you. Didn't you say you were going to change bosses? Have you changed?" For dinner, the two of them still chose a seafood stall that they used to frequent. After waiting for a long time, the food was finally served. Zhou Yijin asked him while putting on his gloves while peeling the shrimp shells.

"It's changed, the new boss is my ex-boyfriend." Zhong Lin was also a little hard to explain this topic. Knowing that Zhou Yijin would be curious, he made a concise summary, "We are college alumni, and he is younger than me. It didn't take long after I graduated."

Zhong Lin rarely talked about his relationship problems with Zhou Yijin before. Zhou Yijin only knew that he had an ex-boyfriend. Hearing this, his eyes became shocked and gossip: "I'm going to this bloody plot!"

Zhong Lin said: "I think he came here because of me."

Their company has a good foundation, stable performance, not too difficult a business operation, and everyone is united. Mr. Yang is gone. It is actually no problem to bring Vice President Xiao up or manage the company. It is a waste of resources for Yan Zhengming to come over, and There are so many branches under Xingke, why come here?

Zhou Yijin had a look of disbelief: "No, what do you mean? Want to take revenge on you?"

"He said he wanted to start over with me."

"Why did you leave so affectionately early?"

He thought that Zhong Lin's abstinence all these years was because he was heartbroken by a scumbag.

"No, I was the one who brought up the breakup." Zhong Lin subconsciously explained, "He has been abroad all these years."

"..." Zhou Yijin heard the defense in his words, and asked inexplicably, "Then why did you break up with him in the first place?"

Zhong Lin didn't know where to start, and planned to expose it in one word: "Too many things happened at that time, he and I were too young, and some conflicts could not be understood or resolved. At that time, we felt that it was most appropriate to separate, so we broke up. .”

"What about now? Do you want to try again?"

Zhong Lin shook his head: "I don't want to try."

"Why?" Zhou Yijin felt that Zhong Lin hadn't completely let go of his ex-boyfriend in his heart. Zhong Lin didn't say the specific reason for the breakup. A long-term lover, you have such a good personality, as long as the other party's temper is not too bad, you should be able to get together, not to mention you are still so young, what do you want to do so much, try it."

"I'm not suitable for him. The personality is very different, and the family background is also very different. His mother doesn't like me."

"Cut~ It looks like someone is taking money from his family. Does the family have a mine?"

In Zhou Yijin's mind, Zhong Lin is also a very good person. Whether it is appearance or temperament, he has an innate nobility in him, and he feels calm and confident in everything he does. What kind of family can make him also feel inferiority complex?

"His name is Yan Zhengming. You may not have heard of him, but you must know his father, the chairman of Xingke Group."

"..."

Zhou Yijin silently gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Zhong, you really are a person who does great things."

With Zhong Lin's face and ability, he doesn't think it's unusual to be matched with a company boss with an annual salary of one million, but it's pretty awesome to make Xingke's future heirs completely devoted to him, mainly because he has already dumped him once.

"Get lost~" Zhong Lin almost died of anxiety.

Zhou Yijin originally wanted to persuade him, but he stopped after hearing the identity of the other party.

Zhong Lin is such a proud person.

Can't stand those who are wronged.

After a moment of silence, he smiled: "That's right, when it comes to dating, making money is the kingly way. When I get rich, brother, I will change one every day."

Zhong Lin couldn't hold back, and yelled at him: "You are a single dog who has been widowed for 26 years, and you still change one every day. It's good to have one."

"You look down on people a bit." Zhou Yijin was not convinced, "I didn't like it, it's not because I couldn't find it."

This is the truth. He is beautiful and has a high EQ. Many people chase him, but he has been single until now.

There is only one reason, cowardice.

He has a good cousin who is an inspector in the AIDS department of a certain CDC. After knowing that he is gay, she sent him short science essays every three days, or pictures of various stages after getting sick, which scared him. I have never dared to fall in love, I feel that I can't trust anyone, and I am afraid of getting sick. The only one I can trust not only doesn't like him, but also bumps into him.

Zhong Lin teased him with a smile: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou is extraordinary in appearance and a natural charmer. The only reason why he is so widowed now is because he keeps himself clean and has high vision, not because he is cowardly."

Zhou Yijin retorted: "It's not that you have a high vision. Up to now, I have only taken a fancy to you, but you still don't want to."

Zhong Lin suppressed a smile, pretending to be aggrieved: "Didn't you say we hit each other?"

Zhou Yijin teased him: "Why don't you feel wronged and go back to the one above, let's try?"

"Get out~" Zhong Lin reprimanded softly, "You are eating, don't be a fool, if you are really lonely, I will go online and buy you a massage stick for you later. Try whatever you want."

"The touch is different from the real one, right?" Zhou Yijin said, his eyes became gossipy, "Do you think the real one is more comfortable or the fake one is more comfortable?"

"Everyone's constitution is different, and their feelings are also different. My experience is too simple to be a reference." Zhong Lin said solemnly, "I'm so curious, I suggest you experience it yourself."

Zhou Yijin couldn't laugh or cry, and teased him: "I really admire your braking skills."

Every time, no matter what the topic is, as long as Zhong Lin doesn't want to talk, I feel that he can end the topic decently with one sentence.

"Mr. Zhou has won the award." Zhong Lin pushed the peeled shrimp meat in front of him, "It may not be your boyfriend who peels the shrimp shells for you, but he must love you. This is my love for you." , eat."

"Zhong Lin, you are my ideal type in these aspects."

"Unfortunately we are both zero."

"Fuck, you're so heartless."

The two chatted and joked while eating, Zhong Lin ate less at night and spent most of the time helping Zhou Yijin peel the shrimp shells.

Zhou Yijin was also used to being served by him, and he ate and talked to him about the rare news and interesting things he encountered while running business, and stopped mentioning those unhappy things.

Zhong Lin used to have many friends, but after something happened to his family, most of them became estranged from him.

Zhou Yijin was the only friend he made after working.

He likes Zhou Yijin's vigor, optimism and open-mindedness. He only complained at the beginning after being wronged so much, and then he kept making jokes with him to make him happy.

Zhong Lin's heart was soft, and he was extremely considerate and indulgent to him. He even agreed with Zhou Yijin when he said that he wanted to go to the nightclub after dinner.

When most people mention nightclubs, they may think of bad negative words such as Neptune fishing and self-deprecation, but for Zhou Yijin, nightclubs are simply a place for him to relax and entertain.

He likes to be lively, and likes to let out the negative energy in his heart wantonly in places where no one knows anyone. When he is tired, he goes back to take a shower, goes to bed and sleeps, and wakes up the next day as a working dog full of energy.

At eight o'clock in the evening, they came to the most famous POPHOUSE club in Lishui City.

Zhong Lin accompanied him once before, but he still couldn't get used to the deafening DJ dance music and the laser-like lights sweeping the audience, but he belongs to the kind of person with special self-discipline and strong willpower. As long as he wants to, no matter how noisy the outside world is, , he can be as calm as water.

They came early, and there were still a lot of card seats in the arena, but Zhong Lin insisted on letting Zhou Yijin open a second-floor card with a lower cost.

The two of them are not here to fish, it doesn't matter whether it's "boss card" or "toilet card".

Not long after the snacks and drinks were served, after Zhou Yijin's favorite DJ came on stage, he couldn't help but follow him off.

The explosive music, gorgeous lighting, mixed with excited screams and laughter, brought the atmosphere of the scene to a high point.

Zhong Lin sat on the railing on the second floor and looked down. He had a panoramic view of all living beings.

He saw a beautiful woman with a hot figure walking between the various booths. After biting her ear in the arms of the person, she turned her head to hug and shake with the person again.

I also saw a dozen men and women squeezed into a six-person booth, playing wine table games.

Human nature is magnified countless times under the stimulation of alcohol and hormones.

Zhong Lin glanced at a white-haired man on a booth in Area A who was straddling a potbellied man asking for a kiss.

It just so happened that someone texted him.

Only then did Yan Zhengming realize that Zhong Lin had let him out of the little dark room.

The first sentence sent was the familiar "I miss you dear".

Then without waiting for anyone to reply, I sent another message with the second sentence: "Where are you, my dear?"

These two sentences once accounted for a large part of their chat records.

Zhong Lin didn't like being restrained, but at the very beginning, whenever the two of them were not together, he would report his whereabouts to Yan Zhengming.

Later, when he started working, Yan Zhengming was still studying, so he couldn't be together often, and sometimes he was too busy with work, so he no longer responded to him at any time like before.

Yan Zhengming's uneasiness intensified, and he tightened his grip.

It was also at that time that he realized that Yan Zhengming had an excessive desire to control him.

This is one of the reasons why they broke up in the first place.

Zhong Lin had quarreled with him more than once because of this issue.

It's a pity that Yan Zhengming still hasn't gotten rid of this problem yet.

Zhong Lin originally planned to ignore it as before.

A thought flashed in my mind, and I took a photo of the dance floor below with my mobile phone and sent it to him, with a few words: nightclub disco.

Then I imagined Yan Zhengming's expression after seeing it, and I felt extremely happy all of a sudden.

Don't you want to chase me again? Let's get rid of your stinking problem first!

After waiting for a while, there was neither the expected series of fatal calls nor the bombardment of text messages.

Zhong Lin was surprised.

Between doubts, a strange voice came from the noise: "Hey, isn't this our senior Zhong!"

I thought about it, it’s better to go ahead to around 18:00, it’s not going to be around 7 o’clock, it will delay my cooking time (嘤嘤嘤~
