My colleague invited me to a restaurant for dinner, but she said that the dishes were very rich, and I refused outright
One morning after a holiday, I was busy doing laundry at home, and suddenly received a ** from my colleague Xiaodan. After a moment of hesitation, I still took the **.
Xiao Dan said at the other end: "Sister Jing, I had a treat at noon and chose a restaurant in the town. The food there is really delicious, I'm going to order a hearty meal, you must come!Everyone is on vacation, so don't say you're busy every day. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's get together, several colleagues have already arrived, and I am waiting for you at the hotel. ”
Without hesitation, I replied, "Sorry, I have guests at home at noon today, so I don't have time to eat." ”
After saying that, I hung up **, and I didn't even wait for Xiaodan's reaction. At that time, I thought that even if Xiao Dan ordered a delicious meal, I would not go, because I had already seen her as a person.
Xiao Dan is my colleague in the company, her appearance is very outstanding, especially those eyes, exuding a kind of tenderness and sweetness. When she first joined the company, she always had a smile on her face and spoke softly, which made a good impression on us.
Since Xiaodan is younger than us, everyone is willing to take care of her at work. When faced with difficulties, people are always willing to lend a hand. At these times, Xiao Dan always smiled and said to us, "Thank you for helping me, it's great to have such a good colleague." ”
However, as the time spent together grew, everyone discovered a characteristic of Xiaodan: she likes to take advantage of small advantages very much.
In the company, many colleagues are in a hurry to work every day, and some have to take care of the elderly and children at home, so they don't have time to eat breakfast at all. Therefore, it is common for people to bring some breakfast or snacks and eat a little on the road or between work. Since Xiao Dan came, when she found someone eating snacks, she would walk over and say with a smile on her face, "Seeing that you eat well, can you let me taste it?"I woke up late this morning and didn't eat at all. ”
Whenever this happens, everyone will not hesitate to give the snacks to Xiaodan, and sometimes even directly hand her the snack bag and let her take it. Xiao Dan always happily took these snacks and left, but never asked, "Have you eaten?"If I take all of this, what will you eat?”
I still remember that at the beginning of this year, during the Chinese New Year, I brought a small bag of tangerines to the company and shared it with my colleagues nearby, and the remaining half was left. Xiao Dan in the distance immediately noticed that someone was eating sugar oranges, and she hurriedly walked over. 
Sister Jing, this sugar orange looks delicious, I haven't had a good appetite lately, can you get me a few more?"Xiao Dan said, putting the sugar orange in his pocket.
Since she was wearing a cotton coat and her pockets were large, the tangerines were almost stuffed by her, and she took a few more, and in the end there was only one tangerine left.
While eating oranges, I turned my head and left, I could only be speechless, because a few colleagues had not yet received oranges, and Xiaodan had almost taken them.
With the passage of time, everyone gradually discovered a phenomenon: as long as someone eats snacks, Xiaodan will always come over to ask for them, she often says that she didn't eat breakfast, but she never brought snacks. In our factory, we share snacks with each other because no one wants to take advantage of others.
However, Xiao Dan is different, she has never brought snacks for half a year, and asks her colleagues for food every day. Sometimes we bring very few snacks, just enough for one person. But Xiaodan got used to Xi, and when she saw that everyone no longer took the initiative to let her eat, sometimes she took it directly, causing us to go hungry.
Although the value of snacks is not high, Xiaodan's behavior is difficult for everyone to understand. As a result, our impression of her is getting worse and worse.
One Sunday, I didn't go to work, I cleaned up all morning, and my husband took the children to a relative's house. So I decided to go out and buy a bowl of braised noodles, and I didn't want to cook at home alone.
As soon as I walked into the restaurant where I often eat, I just ordered a bowl of braised noodles, and I heard a familiar voice calling me: "Sister Jing, you are also coming here to eat!."Come over to us, there are some cold dishes. ”
When I turned my head, it was Xiaodan calling me, and there were two strange middle-aged women sitting next to me, with a few plates in front of them, and the cold dishes were almost finished.
As a courtesy, I stood up, and Xiao Dan took my arm and asked me to sit down at their table.
That day, Xiao Dan enthusiastically introduced me to her colleagues in her brother's company, and I could only keep saying hello to strangers. When the waiter came over with the bowl of braised noodles I ordered, Xiao Dan hurriedly took it and asked me to sit down and enjoy it. 
When I saw the bowl of braised noodles I ordered brought to the table, I was stunned. I don't want to sit down with them to eat, I only have a little leftovers on my plate, and I don't like to eat leftovers.
I hurriedly finished my braised noodles, and the rest of the dishes were not moved with chopsticks, saying goodbye to Xiaodan and preparing to leave.
However, Xiao Dan kept chasing me outside the hotel and said anxiously: "Sister Jing, I invited two guests to dinner today, and they helped me do things." I went to the front desk to see, the meal fee is 258 yuan, the hotel gave me a discount of 250 yuan, but I only have 200 yuan in my mobile phone, can you lend me 50 yuan?I will pay you back as soon as I am paid. ”
After hearing this, I hesitated. Xiao Dan is usually a person who likes to take advantage of small advantages, she borrowed money today, can you pay me back?But I also consider that we are colleagues, if we reject her, how will we face her in the future?
In the end, I transferred 50 yuan to Xiaodan. She repeatedly promised to pay me back as soon as she was paid.
However, after the salary was paid at the end of the month, Xiaodan did not mention the repayment of the money, and when she saw me, she still looked relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
One day after work, I asked Xiaodan directly: "Do you remember the other day in the hotel, you invited a guest to borrow me 50 yuan?"”
Sister Jing, I remember that all the wages paid this month were spent, and they didn't have much money on hand, and they didn't help with that treat, and they spent 200 yuan. I remember your 50 yuan, and I will pay you back when I have money. Xiao Dan left in a hurry after speaking.
Looking at this scene, I was speechless. 50 yuan may not be much, but it makes me see the quality of a person. This can only be regarded as a lesson for 50 yuan. For people like Xiao Dan, I decided to keep my distance.
Three months later, one morning, Xiaodan actually called me ** and said, "Sister Jing, there is something delicious at noon today, you must come, my colleagues have arrived." ”
However, I didn't hesitate to tell her: I was busy today, I had guests at home, and I didn't have time to go to the restaurant. (Actually, there were no guests at my house yesterday, which was just an excuse not to want to go to the hotel.) ）
We all went to work after the holidays. When my colleague Sister Zhang saw me, she quietly pulled her aside and whispered, "Jing, Xiaodan invited me to dinner that day, so I had to go." By then, three colleagues had already gone, and I saw that Xiaodan kept calling you, but you didn't go. You're so smart, I'm glad you didn't go. ”
Sister Zhang, did Xiao Dan not order so many dishes at all when he invited everyone to dinner, but only ordered a few?You haven't eaten, have you?I asked curiously.
No, Xiao Dan did order a table of delicious food that day, but we were not in the mood to eat it, so we hurriedly left after a few symbolic bites. She invited everyone to dinner mainly to borrow money, her brother is about to get married, the woman's family needs a car, Xiaodan doesn't have much money on hand, and wants to borrow 20,000 yuan to buy a car for her brother. But usually she always said that her family had money, and her brother drove her to and from work every day, and this time she borrowed money again, and everyone felt that she was not sincere enough and did not want to borrow money, so they all found an excuse to leave. Afterwards, several of our colleagues discussed on WeChat and decided to stay away from people like Xiaodan. Sister Zhang said with a frown.
After learning Sister Zhang's statement, I suddenly realized: it turned out that Xiaodan had not changed at all, and she invited everyone to eat that day to borrow money, otherwise how could she invite everyone to enjoy such a luxurious meal?Luckily, I didn't go to the restaurant that day.
Here I want to emphasize: the subtle things see the character, and the details reflect the heart. Although Xiao Dan and I are colleagues, in my daily life, I can already perceive that she is not a sincere person. She always sought to take advantage of small advantages, and never considered the feelings of others. After recognizing her as a person, I thought it was necessary to keep my distance from her!
In our daily lives, in addition to family and love, we meet a wide variety of colleagues and friends. When dealing with them, it is essential to be honest and respectful with each other. We need to consider each other's feelings and work together, only in this way can our life path be wider and broader, and life will become better!
