At about eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Lu Xin came to the company.
Not Guard Department, but the business company where he had taken leave for more than a week.
Although Chen Jing had given himself three days off to have a good rest, Lu Xin thought about it carefully and found that he had nothing to rest for. He gave himself three days, but he didn't know where to go during these three days...
... So why not just go back to the company? At least you can get one day's salary, right?
Director had originally granted him a week's leave, but he had not gone to work for eight or nine days.
This is not good.
And if I remember correctly, the time to appraise model employees is coming soon.
When I followed the narrow stairs and arrived at the cramped cubicle of the company, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the stair passage, mixed with the sound of someone being scratched by his wife, which colleague was dressed very beautifully today, and would definitely go to the bar after get off work. As long as I go drinking somewhere at night, I might meet her...
Lu Xin, who had been in a good mood recently, felt a familiar feeling. He sighed and walked up quickly.
Then when he appeared at the top of the stairs, the hilarity next to the corridor suddenly stopped...
Several colleagues were still in a playful posture. One person was holding another person's shoulder from behind, while the other squatted down, with his palms in the shape of a monkey and peach, and was digging towards the colleague whose shoulder was held with a smirk on his face.
The colleague who was grabbed by the shoulders and was about to have his peach stolen smiled as if he wanted to refuse.
The atmosphere is indescribably joyful!
But this happy atmosphere was suddenly frozen.
They stared at Lu Xin with wide eyes, and they could clearly see the muscles on their faces twitching.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Liu, Brother Meng, good morning..."
Lu Xin originally wanted to join them for a smoke, but seeing how nervous they were, he had no choice but to smile and say hello.
"Okay... okay..."
Several colleagues looked at Lu Xin blankly. It took them a while to react, and they forced out a stiff smile.
Lu Xin tightened the bag on his body, turned around and walked into the office.
Like the stairwell, it was not yet time to go to work, so there was a lively atmosphere.
Some of the colleagues were munching on pancakes and fruits, some were lying on the partitions, chatting with a smile with a female colleague who was married with two children, and some were talking in a low voice in the tea room about the problem of their husbands not paying the public salary...
Then as Lu Xin walked into the office, the atmosphere began to freeze inch by inch.
Everyone stopped and followed the figure of Lu Xin with their eyes, and even a piece of egg fell out of the pancake fruit.
Lu Xin walked to his partition, put down his bag, and looked up at his colleagues.
"Wow..."
Colleagues were busy each other, either getting files or turning on the computer, or immediately forgave their husbands.
"Did someone say bad things about me..."
Lu Xin thought a little strangely, "Why do I feel that my colleagues' reactions are weird..."
"Haha, you are working hard today, and your work attitude is worthy of encouragement. Please work harder and strive for another top performance this month, so that two less people can be fired... Then who, Xiao Wang, send me the list of model employees..."
Director walked in excitedly with a bag under his arm.
I found that the atmosphere in the office was much more tense and cheerful than before. I thought that my usual strict orders were effective, and I was in a good mood. I walked to my office while boasting, and I didn't forget to remind my subordinates about the documents I requested when I got off work yesterday.
But as he was talking, he suddenly realized that Xiao Wang's expression was not right, and he was secretly looking in one direction.
He turned his head subconsciously and looked in that direction.
Then the smile on his face suddenly tightened.
Lu Xin raised his head from the cubicle and showed a smile to Director.
Director's face turned to horror, and then he tried his best to change from horror to a smile, his voice trembled slightly. "This..."
"This... Xiao Lu, is... back?"
"..."
"Yes Director."
Lu Xin smiled gratefully at Director: "Don't you welcome me back?"
"No..."
The words Director were almost shouted out, and they quickly became normal. He laughed and said, "How is that possible? The company needs you, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Haha, um... how is your sister's health?"
"You have to do your best to take care of your family. Do you think I should give you another... approval for how many days?"
"..."
"No need."
Lu Xin said hurriedly, "My sister is very good, and she is very happy these days."
While smiling gratefully, he glanced around a little strangely. "Colleagues... why are you so weird?"
"Uh-huh!"
The colleagues around him were also stunned, and their hair stood up a few centimeters.
"How could... how could..."
Director was sweating all over, with a smile on his face, and suddenly clapped his hands vigorously. "Welcome, welcome, welcome Xiao Lu back..."
"Papa"
"Papa pa pa"
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah"
"..."
Everyone in the entire office applauded, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.
"Welcome Little Lu Brother back to work..."
"Congratulations to Xiao Lu and his family on their recovery..."
"..."
Colleagues clapped along with Director and gave Lu Xin a kind smile.
"Little President Lu You are back. Without you keeping an eye on that project, I would never have done it..."
Even Brother Zhang, who was helping Lu Xin run the procurement project, ran over excitedly and placed a thick stack of documents on the desk in front of Lu Xin. Lu Xin's sharp eyes noticed at a glance that there seemed to be an envelope sandwiched inside these documents.
Pretty thick.
"Thank you, thank you everyone..."
Lu Xin was also a little happy and gave everyone a kind smile. This is the atmosphere that should be there.
"Okay, okay, let's continue working..."
Director's hands turned red when he clapped, and he pressed down. He originally wanted to turn around and go back to the office, but seeing Lu Xin still looking at him with a smile, and feeling a little guilty, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Xiao Lu is a leader in our company. It's a good thing to be back at work. It just so happens that today is Friday. How about this? Everyone should finish their work early today. I'll treat you to dinner after get off work, okay?"
"Okay..."
A group of colleagues shouted excitedly, they were really happy.
"Okay, okay, you guys handle your work first. Xiao Lu wants to ask for leave and then come to me..."
Director felt that the atmosphere made him feel more at ease, and returned to the office with a smile.
Xiao Wang under his hand sent the list of model employees for this month. Director was wiping cold sweat while scratching out all the names on it, and then wrote a two-letter name on it, with the surname Lu and the one with the shortest attendance time.
"What happened..."
Director looked at Lu Xin's position through the transparent glass partition, wiping away cold sweat and sighing:
"I heard that this seemingly honest person is actually a vicious person who dares to take advantage of the chaos in the city to do evil everywhere and break other people's legs with a stick. Rumors are spreading throughout the company that he is the illegitimate son of a certain big boss in the city..."
"Killing without batting an eye, breaking a leg and stealing money..."
"It's over, it's over, what should we do..."
"The man who brought a gun to work is back..."
"..."
Lu Xin quickly got into working mode and checked the work details submitted by Brother Zhang with the bill.
Seeing how seriously he checked, Brother Zhang and Sister Sun felt a little guilty. After discussing it, they improvised an envelope and sent it to him.
"It was handled very well."
Lu Xin spoke highly of their work.
I was also a little surprised that they had completed this procurement project well even when I was not in the company.
So what is your responsibility as the project leader?
While thinking about it, he looked at the two thick-looking envelopes...
Are you responsible for this?
Director treats guests generously, it must be because the company will reimburse him.
Colleagues all like Director to treat guests, because this way they can relax and have a big meal.
As for this dinner party, Director was especially generous because Lu Xin was coming back. He added two more dishes and drank as much wine as he wanted.
Colleagues were also full of enthusiasm, especially after drinking a few glasses of wine. They were completely relaxed and came to talk to Lu Xin with wine glasses. Some said that he was the model employee, and some said that the company would be doomed without you. Their attitude towards Lu Xin suddenly changed from awe during the day to enthusiasm after drinking, and awe and enthusiasm showed two obvious extremes...
Even Director, after a few glasses of wine, slammed the table hard, pointed at Lu Xin and said, "Xiao Lu, I have to criticize you!"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised and looked up at Director.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and all colleagues stopped and turned to look secretly.
The fat on Director's face trembled, but he still put on a full leadership posture. "You said that you, little brother, are obviously dedicated and conscientious in your work, and your performance is so good, why didn't I see your supervisor application?"
"What is our company's emphasis? It's about being proactive and daring to be the first!"
"If you don't take the initiative to apply for this supervisor position, what will I do?"
As he spoke, his eyes widened. "Of course I'm applying for you..."
"Don't worry, I'll leave it at that. The supervisor is yours. Whoever dares to disagree will see if I don't scold his ancestors behind his back!"
"..."
Lu Xin was in awe and hurriedly toasted to Director.
I really didn't expect this. Director not only cares about his subordinates, but is also... quite humorous?
The surrounding atmosphere has become more harmonious. Everyone is a good friend and a good colleague.
Those who toasted with toasts, and those who spoke with confidants spoke with confidants. Lu Xin suddenly gained several friends of life and death...
In fact, Lu Xin doesn't like this kind of occasion very much. He just feels that he can't refuse the kindness of others, so he tries his best to integrate into it.
He waited until his colleagues dispersed drunkenly, and Director held his hand and repeatedly assured that even if he did not carry a gun to work, he would definitely be a model employee and the supervisor position next month, and then the last group left the hotel.
Slowly walking, he arrived near the Guard Department, the location of the orphanage.
I looked downstairs at the lights on upstairs. I wanted to go up, but I felt it was too late and drank again.
So after standing for a while, he took off the utility bill posted at the entrance of the corridor and walked away silently.
