within Temptation

Chapter 80 Eliminating the Diaphragm
Finally, the meeting was finally over.Employees from our old company came over to congratulate me one after another, but everyone's expressions were different.

Some people have sincere smiles, as if I became a deputy in the logistics department, which is exactly what he wants to see.Some people looked puzzled, as if they didn't understand why I was promoted.

While accepting congratulations from others, Hu Guoliang also came over to extend his hand to congratulate me.He also very politely said that he would sincerely unite with me at work in the future and cooperate happily.I know he is also full of doubts. I don't know what the relationship between me and Tang Xiaoru is, so I was suddenly reused.

The only one who didn't come to congratulate me was of course Shi Shanshan.When a woman is cautious, there is no reason to talk about it.I knew she was even more suspicious of my ulterior relationship with Tang Xiaoru, and when she got angry, she simply ignored me.

I really can't explain this.Because even I myself was at a loss, and I didn't understand what Tang Xiaoru's intention was in doing this.Isn't she the kind of person who distinguishes between public and private?Although I'm privately friends with her, I really don't have much talent.She suddenly promoted me to be a deputy, can she believe that I am doing a good job?
With this question in mind, after get off work, I called Tang Xiaoru: "Hey, Mr. Tang, it's me, Dai Yong."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Tang, why did you...arrange me as a deputy in the logistics department?"

"What's the matter? Not satisfied?"

"How could it be? You misunderstood me. To be honest...the logistics department doesn't have many people. It's enough to have a full-time leader. Why should I arrange a deputy? And, you know, I'm always Without a diploma, and without ability, I was suddenly promoted, but all the employees under me were better than me. I'm afraid... I won't be able to convince everyone!"

Tang Xiaoru on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Dai Yong, I am very clear about your abilities. I made a deliberate decision to arrange you as a deputy in the logistics department. I know, are you afraid of your colleagues' backs? What are you talking about? Do you take these things so seriously?"

I said: "Mr. Tang, I don't care what others say about me. But in this world, people's hearts are impetuous. Our company is about to be established. , are full of confidence. They think that as long as they work hard and give full play to their talents, they will definitely get the best rewards and prove their worth. But now they suddenly find that a person who is inferior to them in all aspects, In the absence of proof, inexplicably got rewards first. Therefore, they will inevitably be disappointed and suspicious. If they think that I have obtained all this through improper means, then they will think that I will work in the future. No matter how good you are, it's useless. You might as well use your brain and think of other ways. With this kind of thinking, how can you have the energy to devote yourself to work? Mr. Tang, I'm not being hypocritical with you. I think you My appointment may dampen the enthusiasm of some employees, which will be very detrimental to the future development of our company. I personally don't care about anything, please think carefully again, okay?"

Tang Xiaoru was silent again, and after a long time, she said in a relieved tone: "Dai Yong, I am very happy that you are so considerate of the company. This also shows that I have not misjudged the person, you are worthy of me Trust me. I have my own considerations and intentions in arranging you as the deputy of the logistics department, and I know that you will be competent. Believe me, I will never do anything that harms the interests of the company. In my mind, There is really no one else suitable but you."

I froze for a moment, and said cautiously: "Mr. Tang, besides these, do you have any other intentions?"

"Well, a little bit."

"what is that?"

"Now...it's inconvenient for me to tell you. After a while, I will find time to talk to you in detail. Dai Yong, I hope you can do a good job in this position. I believe in you, too. I hope you trust me, okay?"

Although I was puzzled by Tang Xiaoru's intentions, I felt deeply warmed by her trust.I know that Tang Xiaoru will never harm me. Although I have offended her before, if she wants to retaliate against me, there is really no need to use such a complicated method.Through the contact some time ago, I already know that this woman is a kind, docile, open-minded and good person.There must be a reason why she believes in me and values ​​me so much.The ancients said that a scholar dies for his confidant.Although I, Dai Yong, am not an outstanding person, I also know this truth.Tang Xiaoru can trust me so much, then I must be worthy of her trust and take up this position well.

Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Okay then, since you trust me so much, then I'll do it first and see, I hope I won't disappoint you too much."

Tang Xiaoru also smiled, and said, "No, I also believe in my own vision. I know you can do it, and you won't let me down."

I really don't know where Tang Xiaoru has such confidence in me, but no matter what, no one will not be inspired and moved by her words.I decided in my heart that no matter what, I must be worthy of her trust.Do my best not to let her down.

After the call, I felt a lot more relaxed.No longer caring about other people's opinions, I accepted this position with peace of mind.

After returning home, not long after dinner, I saw Yingying sitting in the room alone, holding her small radio, silently listening to a song sung by someone.My mother was washing dishes in the kitchen. Taking this opportunity, I walked into the room gently and came to Yingying.

Although my footsteps are very light, blind people always have more sensitive ears than normal people.Yingying quickly raised her head, turned her face to the direction where I was standing, and did not speak, but it was obvious that she already knew who the person in front of her was.

I slowly squatted down and looked at her delicate little face.Except for a pair of godless big eyes, everything else is so beautiful and perfect.

My heart is full of pity.Softly said: "Yingying, whose song are you listening to?"

Yingying's expression seemed to hesitate, but she finally answered me: "A Taiwanese singer named Wang Xinling."

I groaned, and started to get to the point: "In the past few days, I found that you really like listening to music. Among so many singers, who do you like the most?"

Yingying didn't seem to expect that I would ask her such a question, she couldn't see my expression, she could only sit up a little, and said a little nervously: "You...do you have anything to say to me? "

I had no choice but to sigh, thinking that in her mind, am I still the bad boy who bullied her back then?Even chatting with her is worth her nervousness and precautions?

I tried to soften my tone a bit, and said, "No, I just want to chat with you. It's been a long time since you've been at home, and I haven't had a good conversation with you. Yingying, don't be afraid, I Like my mother, I regard you as a family member. I hope you won't be so alienated from me, okay?"

Yingying's small mouth moved, and after a long time, she finally spit out a few words: "I...not..."

I know she just didn't dare to do it. Maybe what happened in her childhood had too much influence on her.So much so that I am still afraid of me and think I am a bad person.

So, I had no choice but to bring the topic back to what she was interested in, and said: "It's fine if you don't have one, let's talk about it? I also like listening to songs, especially Xu Shu's songs. I don’t know much, can you introduce me to some good singers and some of their songs?”

In fact, I almost never listen to music.As for Xu Shu, he only knew that she was a peerless beauty that was rare in a hundred years, not only the queen of music in the Chinese world, but also a world-class movie star now.But in order to get close to my sister, I had to tell a little lie to get closer to her.

Sure enough, as soon as Yingying heard what I said, her expression became surprised, and she couldn't help but said softly: "You...you also like Xu Shu's songs?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, I am her most loyal fan. My MP3 is full of her songs. As long as I have nothing to do, I will put on headphones and listen to a few songs."

Yingying is still a girl after all, when she heard that the singer she liked was also my idol, she immediately became excited and said, "Really? I...I am also a fan of Xu Shu. We...we..."

I smiled and said, "Really? So we still have a common idol?"

With mutual preferences, the gap between Yingying and me seems to start to disappear.Next, we will have a friendly chat around this topic.Fortunately, Xu Shu is so famous that even I, who doesn't care about the entertainment industry, have always heard a lot of rumors about her from others intentionally or unconsciously.When talking, you won't appear too ignorant, and Yingying will see through the lies.Moreover, despite Yingying's usually depressed and taciturn appearance, when talking about her idol, she can also talk endlessly, with joy on her face.

I'm not surprised that no one is born that silent.Apart from her tragic experience, I think maybe she is too lonely.Although my mother is close to her, how can my mother talk about singers with her?No one talks to her about the things she is interested in, no wonder she is so withdrawn and indifferent.

I am secretly glad that I found the right way, maybe starting tomorrow, I really have to make up lessons.The more you know about Xu Shu, the more topics you can talk to Yingying.She is still so young, she should not just live in grief and loneliness all day.Let her be happy and forget the pain, this is what I should do.

Yingying talked for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and her small face showed a look of anticipation and hesitation.The small mouth opened, but never said anything.

I said, "What's the matter? What do you want to say?"

Yingying hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up her courage, and said softly, "You... you said, you have an MP3, and it contains... Xu Shu's songs?"

I laughed and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

"I... I... Can I... Can I..."

"Hehe, no problem, you can take it and listen."
