Ever since he discovered that he had the talent of "accurate throwing", he kept throwing things all night long and simply couldn't stop. He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until after three in the morning.
I almost couldn't get up in the morning and was yawning all the way.
In this state, whenever he saw something handy, he would have the urge to grab it and throw it away.
He walked to the elevator and saw several colleagues from the company in front of him, chatting in low voices, as if they were talking about the new department that was about to be established.
He was still a little sleepy and didn't listen carefully.
After a while, the elevator arrived. When he entered, those colleagues saw him and greeted him.
"Morning." He responded with a smile.
The elevator door slowly closed.
Colleague A asked, "Chen Xu, have you heard that the company is going to set up a new department?"
Chen Xu nodded, "Yeah, I heard about it."
Colleague B chimed in, "Is there any inside information about this new department? I see quite a few people are trying to get transferred to this new department."
Colleague C whispered, "It is said that this new department was proposed by CEO Liu at the annual strategic meeting, and he persuaded other senior executives to make it a key strategic project for the next year, and CEO Liu will be in charge of it personally. This new department is definitely popular."
Colleague A added, "I heard from a friend in the HR department that in order to show support for the new department, the salary of those transferred there will be increased by more than 20%."
Colleague B said enviously, "No wonder so many people want to transfer there. The salary will increase by 20%. These benefits are too good."
Colleague A sighed, "Yeah, if you go there, you can get a raise, who wouldn't want to go? But unfortunately, it's probably not our turn. Those with connections have already reserved their seats."
"That's not necessarily true."
Colleague C, who is obviously more well-informed, said, "I heard that the final selection will be screened by Director Luo. It's not easy to pass her test. Who knows, maybe we really have a chance."
Chen Xu was already feeling a little drowsy, but when he heard them mention Director Luo, his heart was stirred up a little and he became a little more sober.
"Is she back from her business trip?"
There is only one director in the company with the surname Luo, and the Director Luo they are referring to is naturally Luo Xiyun.
This week, she was out on a business trip and the two hadn't met yet.
As he recalled more and more details about the dream, his mood became somewhat subtle.
With a ding, the elevator arrived.
He put away his thoughts and followed several colleagues out of the elevator.
…………
Chen Xu walked into the office and saw everyone gathered together, discussing matters concerning the new department. The atmosphere was quite lively.
Apparently, word had spread about the salary increase after being transferred to a new department, which had aroused the enthusiasm of colleagues.
He did not go over to join in. After putting his things away, he took out the tea leaves and went to the water heater to make a cup of tea. As soon as he sat down at his seat, suddenly, the whole office fell silent.
He was a little confused. Why did everyone suddenly stop talking? He looked up and saw that everyone was looking behind him.
Behind him was the corridor.
Before he turned around, he heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
An extremely familiar figure suddenly emerged in his mind, and when he turned around, he saw Luo Xiyun, who was wearing a black windbreaker, walking in. She was wearing light makeup, and her long red hair fluttered proudly with her steps.
Colleagues in the office greeted me warmly.
She waved her hand gently, without looking over here, and walked straight into the office.
She turned back into the unattainable Director Luo.
Chen Xu withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, picked up the cup, gently blew away the tea residue floating on the surface, and took a sip.
The slightly astringent taste slowly spreads throughout the mouth.
After seeing her in person, the only fantasy in his heart was completely shattered.
No miracle happened. Her attitude was no different from before. She just treated him as air.
"Everything that happened in the dream should be treated as a dream." He thought silently in his heart.
Deep down, he is a very pragmatic person.
He had already experienced how difficult it was to pursue Luo Xiyun in his dreams. Even if they were the only two left in the world, she would have looked down on him at first, let alone in reality.
Since he knew it was impossible, he was unwilling to waste time, money, and emotions.
He let out a long breath, put down the cup in his hand, and focused his attention on his work.
Now, the most important thing for him is to make money and improve the lives of himself and his family. Everything else should be put aside.
…………
"Chen Xu, come out for a moment."
When it was almost noon, Lao Wang suddenly called Chen Xu over and said, "Let's go, Lao He from the Human Resources Department wants to see you."
Lao He is the head of the human resources department. He is in his early forties, tall and thin, and wears glasses. When he saw Chen Xu, his expression was a little serious.
"I've seen your resume. You came to the company right after graduation and have been working there for almost two years. Manager Wang has a very high opinion of you. The company plans to have you move to a new department. Now, the company plans to set up a new department and wants to transfer you there. Are you willing?"
As soon as he came in, Manager He got straight to the point and got down to business.
Chen Xu also said bluntly, "I wonder what kind of adjustments will be made to my salary in the new department?"
Manager He's eyes flashed with displeasure. He worked in human resources and often discussed salary with employees. However, he did not like the attitude of this young man in front of him. He did not care about the content of the new job at all and asked about salary right away. It left a bad impression.
His tone became much colder, and he said, "The company has considered that the workload of the new department is relatively heavy. In principle, the salary of employees transferred to the new department can be increased by 20% based on the existing salary."
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Then I have no problem."
Manager He frowned and said, "Why don't you ask about your work in the new department?"
Chen Xu said, "I will obey the arrangement."
Manager He's opinion of him became even lower. He didn't want to talk to him any more and said, "You can leave now. Pack your things and report to the new department this afternoon."
Chen Xu left the office. It was not that he didn't realize that Director He had a problem with him, he just didn't care. After discovering that he had the talent of "throwing accurately", his thoughts changed.
He can get more talents and learn more skills from the dream world, and he doesn't have to work. When the conditions are ripe, he can start his own business or choose a better career.
After thinking this way, he didn't want to bother anymore. Changing jobs would cause a lot of trouble. It would be better to stay here for a while. There was a chance to get a salary increase, which made him more determined to stay.
