The day when the "Lucky Little Melon" arrived happened to be Family Day on Saturday. Although the team leader looks like a middle-aged, fat man who is trying to save face, he is actually a good father who loves his family and children.
So as soon as the cantaloupes arrived, the team leader couldn't wait to share them with his wife and son. After all, they were expensive fruits, and he had no idea what they tasted like.
Of course, the team leader didn't dare tell his wife how much money he had spent. He just joked that this was the same style as their young and talented boss, and everyone in the office had bought it. He just wanted to take advantage of the trend and have a try. He didn't know whether it tasted good or not.
But now it seems that there is no need to say anything about the quality of the fruit, because as soon as they opened the express package, a burst of fruit fragrance came directly to their noses, and these cantaloupes were big and round. The team leader bought one kilogram, and the store gave them a little more than one kilogram, a total of three small cantaloupes, just enough for each family member to share one.
The aroma of the fruit even made the team leader's son, who didn't like fruit very much, look over with envy. So, the family each shared one and ate it. It must be admitted that the fruit was really delicious. After taking a bite, they couldn't help but take another bite and couldn't stop. The team leader loved his wife and saw that she liked it, so he gave her half of his own fruit and only ate half himself. Needless to say, the taste made him even more greedy.
No wonder this fruit is sold at such a high price. If it were a few hundred dollars cheaper, he would probably have bought a few more kilograms. The team leader couldn't help but think so as he savored the fragrance of the cantaloupe.
Until the afternoon, my wife and sisters went out to play mahjong, and my son went to the game room with his friends. Only the team leader was left to work hard on his unfinished work.
There is no way. The team leader has been a bit unlucky recently. His plan was actually well written and was approved by the leader in one try, but somehow, compared with the previous ones, it was particularly difficult to get sponsorship for this plan.
It has been more than three months and there is still no accurate reply. Even the bosses who are usually generous and have good cooperation with him have become hesitant.
But this is not going to work. We still have a few weeks left before we have to submit this achievement. If we don’t have a sponsor, having our performance deducted is the least of our worries. I’m afraid we might even lose our job.
After all, the team leader is a bit older than the average age of the company, and his performance is not enough to compete with others. I heard that the young team leader of the next group has already attracted a lot of sponsors.
Thinking of this, the team leader couldn't help but sigh again. Looking at the bosses he used to work with, he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment. After all, asking for help is always the most difficult thing to do.
However, before the team leader could mentally organize his draft, he suddenly received a call. He looked down and saw that it was one of the big bosses who sent him a message, asking if his previous plan was still in the pre-launch plan. If so, he wanted to participate, and he thought the plan was good and wanted to invest more.
Did this mean… that he'd finally secured sponsorship? And a substantial amount? The team leader was so excited that he barely managed to suppress the scream that threatened to break out. He quickly regained his professionalism and immediately analyzed the proposal's details and benefits.
"Sure, no problem. I trust you. I was planning to invest in another project, but then I took a closer look at your proposal. In terms of long-term returns, yours is more advantageous. It's really strange. Why didn't I notice that when I looked at it before? Haha, but luckily I suddenly remembered it now. Besides, we are old friends. I trust your character and I feel at ease leaving it to you."
These words touched the team leader so deeply that he promised to follow through from beginning to end. Just as the call ended, another boss suddenly called him. He said he didn't have any investment plans at the moment, but his boss friend had reviewed the proposal and thought it was good and wanted to invest. He asked the team leader if the plan was still viable and if they could discuss it in more detail.
There is nothing impossible, of course it is possible. The team leader was immediately inspired and immediately demonstrated his professional level. After a detailed discussion, the other party seemed very satisfied with it and said that he would participate in the investment. He also gave the team leader a list with the names and contact information of more than a dozen small companies. At this time, the team leader suddenly realized that the boss friend the other party was talking about was not just one person, but a whole group of people!
But that wasn't all. For nearly the entire afternoon, his WeChat and other channels were constantly inundated with messages expressing interest in his proposal and a desire to invest, driving the team leader completely crazy. Happiness had arrived so suddenly that he couldn't even think about it. He immediately analyzed and reported adjustments to the plan, urgently petitioned his superiors for expansion, and so on. Everything was going incredibly smoothly, a complete reversal from the bad luck he'd experienced in the previous three months.
It was not until after six in the afternoon that they slowly stopped. The exhausted team leader still had a look of disbelief on his face, as if he was dreaming. Not long after, there was a sound of a door opening outside. Turning around, the team leader saw his wife coming home in a daze, and she didn't even notice that she was wearing her coat inside out.
Did he lose a lot of money playing cards? His family wasn't very lucky, but luckily, no one was addicted to gambling. Besides, his wife wasn't very good at cards, and her cards were bad, so losing was a common occurrence.
Of course, his wife didn't mind. Playing cards is fun, and winning or losing is not particularly important. After a certain point, you just have to stop.
To be honest, the team leader had never seen his wife so distraught. After thinking about it, the only possibility was...
"Did you lose badly? It's okay, one or two times is nothing. When playing cards, there are always winners and losers, right..."
"Hubby, that's not right..."
"Hmm? Why doesn't that make sense? You're the winner now, aren't you?..."
"Well, I won. I don't know what happened, but I felt like a gambling god. The cards were so good, and I didn't lose a single round...Hubby, pinch my face and see if I'm dreaming."
His wife spoke in disbelief, and it was obvious that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
