Someone sent me an email.
Xu An rubbed his eyes, yawned, sat up from the rocking chair, and casually opened the email, glancing at the sender.
From: Shanghai Machinery & Equipment Expo!
After seeing the sender's name, Xu An's last bit of sleepiness vanished, and he even felt a little excited.
I skimmed through the email, then carefully read the requirements.
The bidding will begin tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM in the Qihang Conference Room at the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center. Those who are absent will be considered to have automatically forfeited their bid.
You need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation and relevant documents to comprehensively and fully showcase your store's advantages.
'.'
Please note that formal attire is required.
Xu An glanced at the time in the upper right corner of his phone. It was 4:07 PM, and there were less than 16 hours left until 10:00 AM the next morning. The time was far too tight!
They require formal attire, but I only have short sleeves and shorts, which don't meet the requirements. I have to go buy some clothes!
I have prepared some bidding materials, but I haven't organized them into a document yet. My computer is still at the store, so I have to go back there to make a report.
There's no rush with the clothes. The mall usually doesn't close until 10 pm. I'll finish the report first, and then go to the city to buy clothes.
Why didn't this email come sooner? If it had come earlier, I could have bought some clothes on my way home at noon instead of making a special trip.
But now is not the time to complain about these things. Xu An filled a basin with water for Grandma Xu and placed it by her bedside so that she could wipe her body and go to sleep at night.
For dinner, we asked our third grandmother to cook an extra portion for one person so the two of us could eat together.
I definitely need to keep Xu Kang and Xu Le by my side. Grandma's foot hasn't fully healed yet, and if the two of them get naughty, Grandma won't be able to handle them.
After settling things at home, Xu An rode his electric tricycle, carrying Xu Kang and Xu Le, towards the Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Liu Tong's friend, Liu Zhaowen, feels that he has been experiencing a period of bad luck since his senior year of college, and it has continued unabated until now.
During my senior year graduation project, I was in the final stages of modeling when my cat suddenly jumped onto the computer case. The power button was right on top of the case, and its pink paw landed squarely on it.
That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was turning on the computer and finding that all the progress I'd made working on all night hadn't been saved!
Yes, for a whole day and night, Liu Zhaowen didn't press save even once!
Then, during the campus recruitment season, I slipped while playing basketball and fell flat on my face, hitting the basketball hoop and getting a concussion. My head was buzzing the moment I moved it, and I unfortunately missed the campus recruitment.
After graduation, I started applying for jobs through social recruitment. I won't go into the details of the companies I interviewed with; they were all...unpleasant experiences.
Later, I met the company I work for now, which is just a hair's breadth away from becoming a listed company and can be considered a well-known large enterprise in Shanghai.
I thought Mercury retrograde was over and a bright tomorrow was coming.
But after starting the job, I discovered that the company had laid off hundreds of people six months ago, my boss had only joined a month earlier than me, and 80% of the employees in my department were new hires.
With the idea of working for half a year to gain some experience before changing jobs, Liu Zhaowen persevered and has stayed until now.
But today, he was once again burdened with an extremely serious accusation. He felt that he was carrying too much and too heavy a burden, and his young back was starting to give way. The thought of quitting resurfaced.
This company has no future.
This job has no future;
There's no future for me if I stay here any longer.
His childhood dream came to mind: to open a small shop, where he could sell whatever he liked to eat, and if it didn't sell, he could eat it himself.
Suddenly, a plump, fragrant duck foot, dripping with amber-colored braising liquid, appeared before me, inviting me enthusiastically: "Come and eat me! Come on, eat me! Hurry up, if you catch me, you can take a bite!"
Liu Zhaowen's right hand reached out uncontrollably, slowly approaching, and just as he was about to grab the tempting duck's foot, someone slapped his hand hard.
"Liu Zhaowen, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and revise the plan, it's due today!"
The mind returned to reality, and the plump and tempting duck feet disappeared.
All I could see was a computer screen emitting a stark white light and an endless stream of files waiting to be processed.
Staring blankly at the computer screen, my hands numbly typing on the keyboard, the duck's foot that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared in front of me, constantly rotating and enlarging, trying its best to entice me.
Liu Zhaowen's right hand had somehow left the mouse and reached for his phone. He opened QQ, found Liu Tong's account, and sent him a message.
"Shall we go to Xu's Fast Food after work and buy some braised food to take home and eat?"
Xu's Fast Food Restaurant closes at 2:30 PM.
Bang----
This time, the plump and tempting duck feet really disappeared completely from his sight. The white light on the screen became increasingly dazzling, and the words "resignation" formed a circle in Liu Zhaowen's mind, creating a lively bonfire party.
Upon closer inspection, the bonfire was also composed of the words "resignation".
