Chapter 242: First Place in Outstanding Employee
Upon hearing this, the people around who had been trying hard to concentrate on their work immediately became excited.
Zhang Yulan also hurriedly said to Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Shuang: "Let's go, while there are still a few minutes before work starts, let's go and take a look."
Su Xiaoxiao was not very interested in the title of excellent salesperson. She really had no interest in the meager bonus of a few dollars.
She waved her hand and said, "Sister Zhang, you can go with Shuangshuang. Forget it. I won't be selected anyway, so it's useless to watch."
"How do you know you won't be elected? You're trying to solicit sponsorship for our department store and train us for the evening show. If you don't get elected, no one else will."
Zhang Yulan looked at her with a look of disappointment, "Xiaoxiao, I have to say something to you. Everyone else is vying for this honor, but you're not even actively involved in something that would bring honor to your family."
Zhang Yulan dragged her into the crowd without saying a word.
The place where the notice was posted was already crowded with people, three layers inside and three layers outside, making it very lively.
Su Xiaoxiao felt hopeless as Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang dragged her one on each side into the crowd. She felt like she was about to be squeezed into a meat patty.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Oh my God! I was chosen!"
Then another person's scream sounded in her ears, and Su Xiaoxiao felt like her ears were about to be deafened.
At this moment, the three of them finally squeezed to the innermost part of the crowd.
Su Xiaoxiao was squeezed so hard that she looked up with despair, and saw Zhang Yulan and Qin Shuang looking at the list of selected candidates from the back with nervous expressions.
Suddenly, they both exclaimed in unison: "I've been chosen! I've been chosen!"
Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that these two people were selected.
Zhang Yulan is an old employee of the department store. She is usually diligent in her work and does not have the sense of superiority that other elderly people have. She is warm and enthusiastic to others and works seriously. It would be unjust if she was not selected.
As for Qin Shuang, he has the backing, so the leader has to show some appreciation even if he doesn't want to give face to the monks.
"Okay, now that we've seen it, let's..."
As soon as she started, she heard the two of them exclaim in unison again: "Xiaoxiao, not only were you chosen, you got first place!"
"ah?"
Su Xiaoxiao uttered a single note a beat late, with a dull expression.
"The top three will get to go on stage and receive their awards. They'll also wear big red flowers, and the leaders will personally present the certificates. What an honor that is! Xiaoxiao, you're amazing!"
Zhang Yulan shook her arms excitedly, and Qin Shuang also looked admiring.
Su Xiaoxiao belatedly imagined in her mind the scene of her wearing a big red flower and going on stage to receive the award. The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. This was not an honor at all, it was clearly meant to make her socially ruined.
Whenever she thought of that scene, she felt completely dark.
"Can I not give up this first place?"
Zhang Yulan looked at her like she was an idiot: "Are you stupid? Others want this great honor but don't have it yet, and you don't want it? Don't you know how many people are jealous of you?"
"Then Sister Zhang, please go up for me. I don't want this honor at all."
Zhang Yulan: “…”
She wanted to go up, but her ranking was too low, so she couldn't go even if she wanted to.
"Not only will you gain respect in front of your boss, but you'll also be noticed by higher-ups. This is a fantastic opportunity. Are you really not tempted at all?"
Zhang Yulan stared at her in disbelief, thinking that Su Xiaoxiao must be crazy, or simply didn't understand the value of first place.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to answer: "Not moved."
Then I saw General Manager Yan Guohua walking towards me with square steps.
She immediately changed her words: "I just feel that I am still a newcomer with too little experience. I don't deserve such an honor at all. I should give this honor to the older employees who have contributed more than me, such as those with more experience like you, Sister Zhang."
"Girl, everyone sees your hard work. You deserve the first place."
To be honest, Zhang Yulan felt a little jealous when she saw Su Xiaoxiao, a newcomer, get first place, but they had a good relationship, so she didn't want to show it.
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say this, I couldn't help but feel touched.
Xiaoxiao is still too naive.
At this moment, loud applause came from behind: "Well said, this is a good comrade with thoughts and consciousness. Everyone must learn from Comrade Su, be neither arrogant nor impatient, and be humble and work hard."
Yan Guohua looked at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration and led the applause.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the hall.
"Comrade Su, modesty is a virtue, but you deserve this first place."
After saying that, he walked away in a square step.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
She actually didn't want the first place at all. When she saw the general manager coming, she wanted to take the opportunity to give it to the old employee.
After all, as the first place, there are no other benefits except standing in the C position when performing social death on stage.
Even the prize money and certificate are exactly the same as the tenth place winner.
But the general manager obviously misunderstood.
What kind of ideological awareness is this? She just feels ashamed, okay?
Just when she was feeling depressed, a lot of people suddenly gathered around her and congratulated her.
"Comrade Su, you're amazing! You're the first new employee ever to do this, breaking the record of our department store in recent years."
"That's right. In previous years, we've never seen new faces in the top three spots. They've all been taken by veterans. Now our new employees can really hold their heads high."
"Comrade Su is not only excellent in his professional skills, but also so humble. He is truly a role model for our generation!"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
She doesn't want to be this role model at all!
She thought to herself that if all else failed, she would just pretend to have a stomachache on the day of the awards ceremony, or if that didn't work, she could just have a fever or a cold.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone shout, "The door is about to open, everyone hurry back to your seats."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd dispersed immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao also hurried to return to her seat, but unexpectedly, she was bumped into on the shoulder by someone just after taking two steps.
The force was so strong that Su Xiaoxiao almost fell to the ground, falling on her butt. It was obviously intentional.
Zhang Yulan frowned and looked over: "Chen Xiaohong, what are you doing? Are you blind? There's such a wide road, why do you have to bump into someone?"
"I'm happy to, what's it to you?"
After Chen Xiaohong finished speaking, she walked past Su Xiaoxiao with her chin held high. As they passed by, she whispered, "Don't get complacent too soon. The higher you praise someone, the harder they'll fall!"
She was about to leave when someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
Chen Xiaohong frowned and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a dark face: "What? You want to hit me back?"
She subconsciously thought that Su Xiaoxiao was provoking her, but she didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao would say something that she didn't expect.
