Chapter 46 The Moon Will Sink ([-])

On Fairy Tale's first day at work, she had a little trouble.

She stood at the front desk and studied for a long time, her face getting redder and redder. She didn't dare to ask timidly until Zhang Chengnian returned to the company.

"How do you turn on this computer?"

It seems that she still has a lot to learn.

After Zhang Chengnian helped her turn on the computer, he arranged for a female colleague from the design department to teach her basic computer operations.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang." The female colleague was very amiable in front of Zhang Chengnian, but after he left, she turned her face, a little impatient with the fairy tale.

She sneered between the lines: "What, you don't know how to do this, why did the boss recruit you?"

Fairy Tale is a little cowardly: "I was not recruited by the boss."

"I was recruited by Zhang Gong." Fairy Tale explained.

The female colleague was amused by her, and touched the mouse: "Zhang Gong is the boss, you don't even know this."

"Ah, then why not call him Mr. Zhang?" Fairy Tale was taken aback.

"The boss is low-key and doesn't like these hypocrisy." Although the female colleague looked impatient, she was willing to mention her: "But in front of customers, you still have to be called Mr. Zhang, you know?"

Fairytale nodded, and continued to learn how to operate the computer with her.

At night, colleagues in the design department are working overtime.

Fairy Tale didn't leave either, she quietly finished cleaning and sat at the front desk looking at computer materials. It was almost the time of the last bus, so she took the time to get off work.

After a long time, colleagues teased her: "Administration also works overtime, the boss is too ruthless."

Fairy tale shook her head quickly, and she glanced at the general manager's office from the corner of her eye: "No, I'll read some information myself."

Zhang Chengnian is the person who works the most overtime in the company. Often his colleagues leave, but his office is still brightly lit.

Fairy Tale remembered Brother Gu's advice, Zhang Gong ignored everything when he was busy, and his stomach broke.

So, when it was time, I took the initiative to order a fast food for him, knocked on the door and delivered it.

Several times, it was left there intact without a single bite being touched.

Fairy Tale will take the initiative to remind him every tenth, remember to eat well.

These four words can always drive Zhang Gong, as long as the fairy tale is chanted, eat well.

Zhang Chengnian would stop what he was doing, and when he was in a good mood, Zhang Chengnian was also willing to chat with her.

His stomach is not very good, and he will reflux when it is severe, and he will continue to eat after he recovers.

"It's fine if you can't eat it." Tong Hua thought, maybe she was too careless to force the boss to eat.

Holding the spoon, Zhang Chengnian said something nonsensical: "I promised someone."

"what?"

"Eat well." Zhang Chengnian paused for a moment: "The body is the capital of the revolution."

Fairy Tale helped him wipe the bookshelf, she thought for a moment: "Is that the sister you said last time?"

Zhang Chengnian nodded, his thoughts drifted away: "We grew up together when we were young."

"what about now?"

There was no answer to this question, and Fairy Tale knew he shouldn't ask more.

The two chatted, she missed the last train, and Zhang Chengnian drove her all the way back.

"Why are you leaving get off work so late?" Zhang Chengnian asked her in the car.

Fairy Tale sat straight in the back row. This was her first time riding in the boss's car, and she didn't dare to move at all: "I'll read some study materials."

Fairy Tale thought, this sentence should be the perfect answer, which boss doesn't like motivated employees?
This sentence can not only express yourself, but also make the boss happy.

Zhang Chengnian glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing: "Then the company will charge for electricity."

"what?"

It's because she didn't think carefully: "Yes, deduct it from my salary."

Zhang Chengnian stopped teasing her: "I'm just kidding, learning is a good thing, next time I go to my office to pick up two books and a few software tutorials."

Fairy Tale thought that he mentioned it casually.

Unexpectedly, the next day, I took the initiative to bring a few books to her.

It's new, it doesn't look like it's been tampered with.

Although the book is not expensive, it can be seen that the boss thinks highly of her.

Fairy Tale was bought again, and she followed her boss even more wholeheartedly.

The company will have occasional dinners. Fairy Tale is usually submissive. When it comes to drinking, she is not defeated. She worked in a bar in the early years, and she has a good capacity for drinking.

After discovering this, sometimes Zhang Chengnian would bring her with him when he attended dinners.

Most of them are business bureaus, sometimes clients, sometimes friends, and the dinner table is almost always a bunch of men.

Fairy tales are not very suitable for such occasions, and she was timid at first.

Considering that Zhang Chengnian has a bad stomach, Fairy Tale is willing to block the alcohol for him.

Gradually, she also learned to observe words and expressions, and developed a basic tacit understanding with her boss.

With Zhang Chengnian's look, Tong Hua stood up holding the wine: "President Chen, let me toast you three glasses first."

After persisting in this way for half a year, Fairytale has moved from administration to business, and her work ability has been significantly improved.

But she didn't forget her own job, and continued to do odd jobs at the front desk, taking care of her boss.

Fairy Tale's recent work is a bit special. She held a sign and went to the station to pick up a middle-aged old man. The old man didn't like to talk, and his face was stiff, with an expression of not being close to strangers.

Fairy Hua accompanied the old man to the hospital, went through the hospitalization procedures and paid the outpatient fee, and saw that the information and address on his ID card were exactly the same as Zhang Gong's.

The old man didn't know what documents the hospital wanted, and he even handed over his household registration book to her.

In the household registration book, she saw Zhang Chengnian's information, and the two were father and son.

She immediately cheered up and waited carefully on the saddle.

The two were born with a difference in generation, and language communication was difficult. The uncle could not speak Mandarin, and Tong Hua could not understand his dialect.

Chatting is like you draw, I guess, the difficulty value is extremely high.

The strange thing is that after the whole course of treatment, Mr. Zhang did not show up.

Fairy Tale reports the situation to the boss on time every day. My uncle suffers from diabetes, which is common among the elderly. It is not a serious problem. The doctor said that after the treatment is over, just pay attention to diet.

Zhang Gong's official reply: OK.

There is no text.

The hospital has been busy for half a month, and Fairy Tale wants to take his uncle for a stroll and go to the beach for a vacation to relax.

Fairy Tale gestured with hands and feet for a long time, and uncle probably understood what she meant.

He doesn't like trouble and says no.

On the day of seeing him off, Fairy Tale sent Mr. Zhang the train schedule information again.

Fairy Tale sat in the waiting hall with her uncle, who was rarely interested in chatting this time, and took the initiative to find topics with her, and the most frequent word in his mouth was 'orange fruit'.

The two parties had questions and answers, and the content was basically wrong.

The mouth of the chat was dry, and finally it was time to check the ticket. Uncle's eyes swept across the crowd inadvertently.

But Zhang Gong didn't show up.

The old man was carrying a simple plastic bag, just like his back when he came, he staggered and blended into the sea of ​​people.

This time, Fairy Tale was not in the company for half a month. When we saw each other again, colleagues gathered around her to exchange their hearts, crying and complaining that the company would not be able to do anything without her.

Fairy tales are responsible for everything as small as a flower and a piece of paper, as large as itinerary and work arrangements.

Not only are the colleagues uncomfortable, but the boss who is used to her is also moody during this time. Normally Zhang Chengnian rarely makes things difficult for others, but this week, two colleagues were reprimanded.

The boss even pretended to be in the hospital at the wine table.

Fairytale knows where the boss's emotions come from, and she doesn't know the grievances between father and son.

But listening to the flattery of my colleagues, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, I didn't expect myself to be so important.

She beamed with fruit and went to the hospital to visit her sad boss.

Sure enough, it's not a family, and you don't enter a family.They even entered the hospital in pairs.

Zhang Chengnian had a stomach attack, he was recuperating on the hospital bed, and his complexion was much better.

He finally realized how much work Fairy Tale had undertaken: "How about I hire another administrator."

Fairy Tale was stunned, tears fell uncontrollably: "Boss, are you going to fire me?"

Zhang Chengnian explained: "I will give you a helper."

Oh oh.

That's right, Fairy Tale nodded.

In the future, she can also put on a small note, that's fine.

Fairytale picked up Zhang Chengnian and left the hospital. She went to the outpatient clinic to pay for the materials and ran up and down.

Although she couldn't understand the data and reports above, she understood the word stomach cancer.

She confirmed with the doctor in disbelief: "Is this order wrong? It's not from our boss."

After checking with the doctor, he said it was correct.

Fairytale couldn't accept this cognition for a while.

Zhang Chengnian didn't say much, he knew it already, and he has been actively cooperating with the treatment.

But for Fairy Tale, he is not only the boss, but also the master who leads her life. At this moment, she can't express the feeling in her heart.

She got off work early today and went to Brother Gu's company. When she asked about this matter, Old Gu was not surprised.

Talking about this issue, Lao Gu asked Zhang Gong's father's health by the way.

Fairy Tale retells the doctor's words truthfully, there is nothing serious, just pay attention to diet.

But she felt sorry for the old man: "Why is the relationship between Mr. Zhang and his father so indifferent?"

Lao Gu said with emotion: "Xiao Zhang can do this, and he has no regrets in his heart."

Old Gu didn't say it clearly, but Fairy Tale pondered over and over in his heart.

Reluctantly, she asked about Zhang Gong's obsessed girl: "Then does his sister know?"

Lao Gu made her tea and shook his head: "On the day the little girl got engaged, he had not recovered from the operation and flew from Shenzhen to Changsha."

"And then?" Fairy Tale continued to ask, "Has she changed her mind?"

Lao Gu's tone was far-reaching and had a long meaning.

"Most people in this world are indifferent to reality. Xiao Zhang values ​​friendship. If others treat him well, he will return very much. Maybe that girl can let go, but he has to remember it forever."

"Stubborn and stupid, like a cow."

What kind of animal is a cow?

No one knows better than the Chinese that during the thousands of years of farming, its strength is solid and stable, its mind is silent and forbearing, and it often works hard without complaint or regret.

Zhang Chengnian is such a cow in his heart. He was born in a low-level peasant family, gritted his teeth and walked through every step of his life, from a boy herding cattle to a poor student, from a youth with nothing to today's achievements.He has his own rules and beliefs, and the love in his heart is as firm as a rock.

Fairy Tale understands that Zhang Gong is such a person, and Lao Gu is smooth and sophisticated on the surface, but in fact he is also such a person.

The teacup she was holding was rippled, and the wet liquid fell from her cheeks.

Why is such a good person living so hard.

After the broadcast of the decoration program, Zhang Chengnian disappeared from the public eye. He was immersed in the initial stage of his career, and Chengyuan Design Office gradually got on the right track.

His audience favorability is very high, many business cooperation invited him to participate in the program, Fairytale refused one by one according to Zhang Chengnian's request.

But there was something embarrassing for her. The former leader Xu Zong, who was also a small leader of the original program producer, called Fairy Tale several times, asking for a favor.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, President Xu sincerely expressed his apologies on the phone many times. Fairy Tale was often wronged when she worked under her hands.

Now that Feng Shui is taking turns, it's not that Fairy Tale deliberately made things difficult, but she is also very embarrassed, so she tried her best to speak politely and politely refused.

Mr. Xu went straight to the company after several failed attempts. She gritted her teeth while looking at the fairy tale, and went through the registration procedures with a pleasant face.

She sat in the conference room and waited for more than two hours, and Fairy Tale thoughtfully prepared tea for her.

Flipping through the documents on the table, Mr. Xu took a look at her, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Boy, the tea is pretty good."

Previously, Fairy Tale worked as a handyman under Mr. Xu, but now Zhang Chengnian is just doing handyman here, and he has learned how to take Joe.

Fairy Tale's polite smile, she is no longer the dull and clumsy little girl she used to be, and she can understand some deep meaning when facing Mr. Xu's tit-for-tat.

Zhang Chengnian walked into the meeting room, and Fairy Tale walked out with him. The two talked for about an hour. After the end, Zhang Chengnian had an extra interview in his itinerary.

Fairy Tale felt awkward on this occasion, but she needed to accompany Zhang Chengnian as an assistant part-time driver.When preparing behind the scenes, President Xu saw Fairy Tale and habitually arranged for her to run errands.

There will be a lack of props for a while, and tools will be repaired for a while.These are all tasks that Fairy Tale used to do before, and now they can handle them with ease.Recalling the past, she felt somewhat emotional.

"Don't you have any staff yourself?" It was Zhang Chengnian who said this. He was always good-tempered, and his voice was obviously displeased at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I'm short of manpower today. When I saw Xiaotong, I thought I could help." Mr. Xu stepped forward to smooth things over.

"If you're not ready today, let's wait until next time." Zhang Chengnian glanced at his watch and got up to leave.

A large group of people prepared the venue, equipment, and personnel for today's interview. How could it be impossible to say that it would not be recorded? Mr. Xu was deliberately embarrassing Fairy Tale. Seeing Zhang Chengnian's expression, she immediately acted accordingly. , Good words and persuasion finally stayed.

After recording the program, Zhang Chengnian did not refuse, and participated in the dinner that the group had set in advance.

Most of the wine tables were filled with new faces, basically people with a certain status, either this or that director, everyone chatted and laughed and exchanged business cards, Zhang Chengnian took the initiative to introduce the girl next to him: "This is my colleague Fairy Tale."

Fairy Tale sat on the sidelines, saying that she was a colleague, which undoubtedly raised her status a lot.

Mr. Xu also understood the meaning of it. She was a person who took care of the overall situation. She stood up with a smile on her face and toasted Fairy Tale for three glasses of wine.

Zhang Chengnian reminded him that he still had to drive after the end, and Tong Hua picked up the water glass and returned the salute with tea instead of wine.

Humans are like this. When you are valuable, others will respect you three points.

Fairy Tale was elated once, feeling wonderful in his heart, humming a little tune on the way back.

On the way she drove Zhang Chengnian home, she looked at the dozing man in the back seat through the rearview mirror, secretly sizing him up.

This man is used to silence and never expresses his heart.But if others treat him well, he will return very much.

The former fairy tale just helped him submit a resume, but he didn't expect that not only changed Zhang Chengnian's life path, but also changed her life path.

The city of Shenzhen has no shortage of dreamers or young people.Fortunately, such a good master led her way and helped her shelter from the wind and rain.

The fairy tale sent him to his destination. Looking at his back blending with the night, it seemed that all the loneliness in the world was on his shoulders.

Such an outstanding person, but Fairy Tale thinks that he is far away from the crowd and is peerless and independent.
