Soon, Chen Xu had no time to think about anything else, as he found himself in trouble.

In reality, although only one night had passed, he had spent a full six months in his dream. After such a long time, if he was suddenly asked to do the work that he had only finished halfway six months ago, he would probably be confused.

Now, he sat in front of the computer, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"Oh, the briefcase."

He opened the briefcase and turned out the contents. He found a document, picked it up and read it carefully, and finally got some clues.

Then, he stuffed the things back into his briefcase, picked up the mouse, and opened a document. He vaguely remembered that he used to save all his work materials here.

He spent the whole morning trying to familiarize himself with the information and slowly get back to work. He didn't dare to ask anyone else, as that would be too suspicious.

After finally making it to the lunch break, Old Tang asked him to go eat together.

They went to the restaurant they often went to, which was two blocks away from the company.

When Chen Xu arrived at the store, he was impressed that the food here tasted good and was affordable. They used to come here often for lunch.

Neither Old Tang nor he likes to order takeout, mainly because they don't want to stay in the office all day. They take advantage of the meal time to go out and get some fresh air.

"Did something happen?"

After sitting down, Old Tang suddenly asked, "I noticed that you have been acting a little abnormal these past two days."

Chen Xu knew that he was acting abnormally this morning, and he couldn't hide it from his colleagues who worked with him every day, so he said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little annoyed."

As he was talking, he suddenly thought of changing jobs and could ask Old Tang for some advice.

“Actually, I want to change jobs.”

"Why so sudden?" Old Tang was surprised.

Chen Xu said helplessly, "You know my situation in the company. I've been here for almost two years, and I'm still stuck in the same situation. I don't think I can continue like this, so I might as well change jobs. Maybe there will be better development opportunities."

Old Tang looked at him, thinking of his situation in the company, and could not say anything to persuade him. He asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Um."

"Do you have a goal?"

"Not yet, just send in your resume first. I don't have any other requirements, as long as the salary is higher than it is now."

As they were talking, the food came up and the two of them ate and chatted.

After all, Old Tang had been working for a long time and gave him a lot of useful suggestions.

After dinner, the two returned to the company and did not mention the matter again. It was not appropriate for other colleagues to know about their resignation.

As soon as he got back to the company, he ran into a courier who came to pick up the package. Chen Xu quickly handed the iPhone X to the courier. His high school classmate was in the next city and should receive the phone tomorrow.

Once he gets the money from selling the phone, it will greatly alleviate his financial pressure.

As soon as the courier left, Chen Xu picked up the cup and prepared to make a cup of tea to refresh himself.

In front of the water dispenser, several female colleagues were gathered there chatting about gossip. Chen Xu suddenly heard them mention Luo Xiyun and realized that she was on a business trip.

He was several levels lower than Luo Xiyun, so naturally he didn't know her whereabouts. Hearing that she was on a business trip, he felt relieved. At least, he wouldn't run into her in the next few days.

After getting the water, he returned to his seat, leaned back in the chair, and wrote and drew on the paper while thinking.

He was recalling what happened in his dream, trying to find other opportunities to make money.

The paper ball flew accurately into the wastebasket.

He clapped his hands, turned his chair around, took a sip of tea, cheered himself up, and continued to work hard with the data in the computer.

…………

After that, Chen Xu returned to his previous ordinary life. Only when his high school deskmate received the phone and transferred 9,000 yuan to him, could it be considered a surprise.

He has sent out several resumes, but has not heard back yet.

A week later.

As usual, he came to the company on time. After a week of adaptation, he finally returned to his working state half a year ago.

After arriving at the company, he found that his colleagues were gathered together to discuss something, which was contrary to their usual behavior.

He turned to Old Tang and asked, "What happened? Did something big happen in the company?"

"I just arrived too." Old Tang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"You haven't heard about it yet." At this time, Cai Hao, a colleague next to Chen Xu, came over and said worriedly, "Now there is news that the company is going to set up a marketing department. When the time comes, our advertising department may be abolished. Now, Lao Wang has gone to inquire about the news, and no one knows what the situation is."

Old Tang was surprised. "Why is it so sudden? There was no news at all yesterday."

Chen Xu also realized what this news meant. Their company was not engaged in product development, and the newly established marketing department obviously had some overlapping functions with the advertising department.

At that time, the new department will definitely be stripped of a lot of power, or even worse, it will be directly laid off. No matter which result, it will not be a good thing for the members of the advertising department.

Of course, this had no impact on him as he was already prepared to resign.

To be honest, the company he works for is not a small company. It has nearly ten large chain supermarkets under it, all located in commercial centers.

Including the employees of the large supermarkets under it, the company has more than 2,000 employees, making it a truly large enterprise.

As the advertising department of the headquarters, it nominally manages the promotion of all stores.

However, in reality, each store is very independent, and whenever there is a promotion, they do it on their own. At most, they will send a report to notify everyone, and the advertising department has no way to get involved.

The reason is very simple. The manager of each store is a local official. In name, he is on an equal footing with the director of the marketing department, but in reality, he is more capable than you, earns more than you, has a deeper background than you, and doesn't care about your advertising department at all.

Chen Xu has been working here for almost two years, and basically he is doing some work of summarizing materials. During the peak season, he is also transferred to the store to help run errands, which is really miserable.

This is also one of the reasons why he plans to resign. In such a traditional industry, without a background, the channels for advancement are too narrow.

As for why the company wanted to set up a marketing department at this time, he didn't understand. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

One morning, the entire advertising department was a little panic-stricken and no one was in the mood to work.

Finally, the supervisor, Lao Wang, came back with news, guaranteeing that the advertising department would not be abolished and that there would be no layoffs. The newly established marketing department was responsible for online sales, and its functions did not overlap with those of the advertising department.

In this way, the employees were finally calmed down.

"Chen Xu, come to my office." After Lao Wang announced the news, he called Chen Xu.

No way? Chen Xu was a little depressed. Every time he was called to the office by Lao Wang, nothing good happened. "Could it be that he wanted to punish me because of my poor performance recently?"
