Chapter 029: How do rats in this world pretend to be tigers (2)
To be honest, these young people in the office are not easy to get along with. Several of them obviously showed slight disdain and implicit rejection of Zhou Nan, probably because of his "originality" as a graduate of a prestigious university. For these third-rate universities and even
For the clerks who graduated from technical secondary schools, Guanghua School of Management at Kyonghua University is an almost "paradise" existence. Suddenly there is such a person around them, and they would be lying if they said they are not jealous.
Use strong, outward jealousy to cover up a deep, strong sense of inferiority in your heart. What a Western philosopher said actually makes sense.
But Zhou Nan doesn't care about this. For him, his current unit and position are just a platform for him to gain momentum and leverage to start a business, or it can be said to be a "prop" he uses to cover up his dazzling talents. With these so-called
He was a temporary colleague, and as long as they were decent in appearance, he had no intention of getting along with them for a long time, let alone having a deep friendship with them.
But the surface work that should be done still needs to be done.
The next day, Zhou Nan rushed to the office early. He went to work at 8 o'clock, and he rushed there at 7:30. He opened the door, took the initiative to clean, mopped the floor and took out the trash, wiped everyone's desks, and then went back to work.
Drag the hallway.
The corridor was almost full, and other people gradually arrived. It was obvious that most of the people in the office came late on purpose, and intentionally "leaved" the cleaning work to Zhou Nan, a newcomer.
"Xiao Zhou is here early..." Secretary Sun Yan said hello to Zhou Nan, walked over and was about to pick up the kettle to go to the boiler room downstairs to get hot water. There was no water dispenser at this time, so he could only use the kettle to get hot water in the boiler room.
hot water.
Zhou Nan quickly grabbed the two thermos kettles with a smile, and volunteered to fetch hot water. Sun Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou, you just arrived and don't know where the boiler room is. Come on, let's go
Let’s go together.”
Zhou Nan smiled and didn't insist. However, he had a good impression of Sun Yan because of this. Relatively speaking, Sun Yan was a kind and simple person.
…
…
After a busy morning, Zhou Nan sat at his desk near the door, took out a magazine from the denim backpack he brought, and started reading boredly. Although he had only been here to work for a day, he had already discovered that,
Although this is not an organization, it is full of organization style. Most people are basically killing time during working hours. Some are reading newspapers, some are playing with their pagers, and some are knitting sweaters. Only secretary Sun Yan is writing materials at his desk.
, can be regarded as a person who does serious business.
Chen Pengyu, the clerk and mailbox, was seriously playing with the Chinese display pager he had just bought, with a slightly reserved expression. Zhang Hongxia, the deputy director sitting opposite him, suddenly put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, have you paged me?"
Leave a pager number for easy contact.”
Zhou Nan was startled, then turned around and said with a smile, "Director Zhang, I haven't paged you yet..."
Although Lu Yanlin gave Zhou Nan a Chinese display pager, he had no intention of using it. He wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Besides, he now has the big brother Zhang Dongsheng gave him, so he doesn't need to page.
Zhang Hongxia said oh. Chen Pengyu raised his head, glanced at Zhou Nan, and said, "Hurry up and buy one. If there is no pager, how can the leader call you if something happens? It's not easy to contact us inside the office."
Well."
If there is one person in this office that Zhou Nan feels quite "unfavorable", it is undoubtedly Chen Pengyu. Judging from his clothes and demeanor, this person should be a rich man with a good family background. He got off work yesterday.
When leaving, Zhou Nan saw him riding a very fashionable and expensive "Prince" motorcycle, a very fashionable and arrogant one.
Sun Xiaolan, the conference organizer, also smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Zhou Nan, buy one. Our salary is not low. You can buy one with just two months' salary."
Sun Xiaolan's big watery eyes flickered, lingering secretly on Zhou Nan's body. She obviously had some kind of affection for Zhou Nan, not because of Zhou Nan's appearance. Zhou Nan did not belong to the type that was romantic and suave, and did not let women
The innate ability to fall in love at first sight; but because of Zhou Nan's calm and capable temperament and his aura as a graduate of a prestigious university.
For technical secondary school graduate Sun Xiaolan, Zhou Nan, a graduate of Guanghua School of Management of Beijing University, is like a mountain that she envies and looks up to. Of course, this kind of "good impression" and love are actually thousands of miles away.
"Oh." Zhou Nan responded casually, but he was actually a little absent-minded.
If Sun Xiaolan hadn't inserted this sentence, this episode would have been laughed off. When he caught a glimpse of Sun Xiaolan looking at Zhou Nan with a smile, he was quite interested in her. Chen Pengyu, who had been chasing her for a while but had not caught up, suddenly felt very happy.
Unhappy, he replied nonchalantly, "Two months' salary is nothing, just buy a digital one. If you want to buy it, buy Han Display, otherwise don't buy it. For a brand like mine, the screen is big and the quality is guaranteed.
It’s only 2,400. Xiao Zhou, if you’re in a hurry, I’ll lend it to you and pay it back to me after you’ve paid your salary. I can repay it in installments and I promise not to charge you a penny in interest.”
With that said, Chen Pengyu used the key to open his drawer, pulled out a blue ICBC passbook, and threw it over with seemingly boldness, "There is an ICBC savings bank at the door. Go get it yourself. The password is six to eight."
The blue passbook drew an arc in mid-air, flew over Secretary Sun Yan's head, and flew towards Zhou Nan. Before Zhou Nan could react, the passbook fell to the ground with a pop.
Zhang Hongxia frowned, but didn't say anything. She lowered her head and continued to read her newspaper.
Zhou Nan was heartbroken, but his expression remained unchanged. He leaned over to pick up the bankbook, walked over and gave it back to Chen Pengyu with a smile, "Brother Chen, thank you, but I don't need it..."
Chen Pengyu may not really want to lend Zhou Nan money, but he is just showing off in front of Sun Xiaolan or venting some of his inner dissatisfaction. Seeing Zhou Nan's refusal, he took the passbook back indifferently.
Seeing that he had taken it back, Zhou Nan walked back to his desk and sat down, continuing to read his magazine.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who pretend to be tigers and eat pigs, and those who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. Those who pretend to be tigers and eat pigs may not necessarily be awesome in themselves, but they just have to pretend to be mighty and show their power.
To scare others. On the contrary, those who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers are heroes like tigers, but they hide their edge and keep a low profile for a certain purpose.
Zhou Nan has no intention of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but in his eyes, Chen Pengyu is at best a person who pretends to be a tiger and eats a pig. In the final analysis, such people are just the so-called "rats in this world, how can they pretend to be tigers" as Zheng Banqiao refers to
.
He is originally a rat, no matter how much he pretends to be a tiger, he is destined to behave like a dragon or a tiger instead of a dog. There are too many people who are bluffing like this, especially in idle state-owned enterprises. How could Zhou Nan get along with such people and be so idle?
The whole morning passed like this. Zhou Nan seemed to be looking down at a magazine, but in fact his mind was no longer here.
Dai Long appeared at the door, raised his hand and said, "It's time to get off work. In a moment, our office will go to the 'Little Sichuan' opposite for a dinner party to catch up with Xiao Zhou."
It can be seen that this is a practice that has been developed in the office for many years. When new people come in, they have a group meal, and everyone responds with a smile, and no one makes a fuss. The office is in charge of the reception of the whole company, and handles such a meal.
It's easy. Even if there are no new people, we often go out for dinner.
Zhang Hongxia also stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, everyone, please put down what you are doing... Xiao Chen, you guys go to the hotel to book a room first, Xiao Lan, you will take Xiao Zhou there later."
"Yeah." Sun Xiaolan agreed with a smile.
Chen Pengyu was a little unhappy, but he did not dare to refute Zhang Hongxia's face in person. He reluctantly left the office laughing with Sun Yan and others.
