A fast food restaurant is very popular among white-collar workers in the surrounding office buildings. The prices are cheap and they can fill their stomachs, otherwise they will eat pork trotter rice.
Design manager Li Ming and his friends from other companies usually have to choose between pork knuckle rice and fast food, but today they're eating fast food. Shenzhen is almost entirely populated by people who have come from outside to work hard, earning money to support their wives and children. They're thinking of making more money to buy an apartment in Shenzhen and bring their families over. Otherwise, every time he feels lonely and calls his wife, she always says breathlessly and tiredly on the other end of the phone: "Honey, I love you...Honey, I'm running at night...Honey, don't hang up yet, let's talk a little more...ah..."
Li Ming knew his wife was a sports-loving woman who exercised regularly, sometimes running during the day and sometimes running at night. Every time he wanted to video chat with his wife, she would say, "I'm running right now...it's not convenient to answer the phone...wait...I'll...call you again after I'm done..."
My wife is definitely running, because every time she finishes running and opens the video, she is sweating profusely, her face is flushed, her eyes are blurry and she looks tired.
"It's not easy for my wife to be alone at home, alas..."
Li Mingxin said that every time he went back to his hometown, he left in a hurry and did not feed his wife enough.
"Mr. Li, come and eat more broccoli, greens, and bok choy to supplement your nutrition. These are natural, organic green vegetables."
The friend pushed the dish in front of Li Ming.
"Thank you, Lao He. I really should eat more vegetables recently to replenish my body."
Li Ming was eating green vegetables with big mouthfuls, and inadvertently saw Chu Qingning walking outside. She trotted to the Michelin three-star restaurant opposite, and from a distance, she was hugging a man very intimately.
"she?"
"Who is it?"
"A female intern in my department went to the Italian restaurant across the street and cuddled with a man. That's not right. Haha, it's obvious she's just vain and found a rich man. Sigh... Girls nowadays are so materialistic and vain. My wife is still the best."
Lao He said, "I heard there's a girl named Chu Qingning among your interns?"
Li Ming: "That's the girl I'm talking about. Look, she's hugging and kissing the rich guy across the street for money. I guess there are other services, haha."
Li Ming sneered, because although ordinary people can afford a Michelin three-star restaurant, his inertial thinking would make him think - Chu Qingning is very beautiful, such a beautiful girl would never get close to an ordinary man, she must be with a rich second-generation, and being with a rich second-generation is definitely for money.
Lao He: "An intern in our company talked about this Chu Qingning before. I heard that she graduated from Magic Dance and was very popular in school."
Li Ming: "School is school, society is society. Moreover, this female intern is terrible. She doesn't obey the leadership's arrangements and is even argumentative. She will not pass her internship."
Bosses love unconditional obedience, regardless of design proficiency. They want control. If they ask you to work overtime, don't push them. If they tell you to make changes, you do. You only have the right to obey, not to object. So what if Chu Qingning's design skills are excellent? Bosses hire obedient people. Disobedient employees only cause frustration. They can accept mediocrity in their department, but they won't accept a talented, insubordinate employee.
Lao He: "You mean you'll be fired once your internship is over?"
Li Ming: "She has good designs. She has several good ideas. Let her complete them first, then reject her proposal, saying her design is not good enough and she hasn't passed her internship. Then show the proposal to the client. This way, I don't have to pay her commission and I can get rid of this thorn in my side."
Lao He said "Oh~" and didn't say much. There are many unspoken rules in the workplace. There are many examples of this kind of free plan, where the plan is first denied and then activated.
There is no need to respect these beasts of burden at all, because if you don't do it, others will be eager to do it. You can say that this company is unethical or something like that, other employees will not say a word, because they all have to support their families, and they won't care as long as it doesn't happen to them.
Opposite restaurant.
Lin Can and Chu Qingning were no longer in the mood for a romantic date at a restaurant like this. After four years of marathon love, they had become an old married couple. Chunchun was just here for a work meal worth ten thousand yuan.
"Eat slowly."
"I'm still rushing back to work on a plan. Sister, I'm bursting with ideas right now. Once this plan is ready, I'll definitely pass my internship."
"Why all that pressure?"
"You think I want it, but it's the pressure you put on me." Chu Qingning complained, "I could just rent a cheap place, but you insisted on buying such an expensive one. It puts a lot of pressure on me. I have to work hard to prove myself, otherwise I won't even be able to pass my internship. How can I face people?"
Lin Can smiled and said, "I know your ability very well. You will definitely pass the internship period."
"Okay, I'll try my best. After I'm done eating, I'll go back and continue working."
"No nap?"
"Take your time to sleep."
"Didn't you say you wouldn't work overtime?"
"Lunch break is not overtime, I just want to finish the plan, mua~" Chu Qingning kissed Lin Can on the forehead and left in a hurry.
When the other colleagues came back, they saw Chu Qingning carefully revising the plan at her workstation. Lily asked, "Qingning, aren't you going to take a break?"
Chu Qingning: "There are still some designs that need to be modified."
"Holy crap! Guess who I just ran into downstairs?" A colleague ran in excitedly, "Lin Can! Master Lin of Yunchuan! So handsome."
Chu Qingning: ...
Lily: “Is this true?”
Colleague: "Of course it's true. It's just downstairs from us. That Ferrari is his."
Lily scratched her head. Something wasn’t right. There was clearly a figurine of Chu Qingning in the car. Could it be the same style?
