My name is Wang Xiaoming, and I am an ordinary company technician. I am introverted, conscientious and responsible, and have a simple and regular life.
Three months ago, a new colleague Xiao Fang came to the company's marketing department. Xiaofang has a sweet appearance, a smile as warm as the spring sun, and a strong ability to work, and quickly integrates into the team.
One day at noon, I was eating alone in the company cafeteria as usual. Xiaofang came over with the meal and sat down opposite me, and said with a smile: "Wang Xiaoming, let's eat together." I see that you always eat light and boring alone. ”
I looked at her with some surprise and said shyly, "Oh, okay." It's true that I'm not usually Xi used to eating with my colleagues. ”
You're too old-fashioned, aren't you? Xiaofang complained, "We've been colleagues for a month, and it's time to get acquainted." I see that you work very hard and your skills are great, but you just don't like socializing, do you?”
Haha, I'll tell you the truth, I'm shy. I laughed a few times, a little embarrassed.
Oh, boy, there's no need to be so shy. Xiaofang smiled and said, "In the future, I'll introduce a few girlfriends to you, maybe you can be brave enough to chase girls!."”
I blushed and couldn't speak. During the chat with Xiaofang, I secretly looked at her and found that she smiled sweetly and lovely, and her tone of voice was also very kind, which gave me a feeling of spring breeze.
In this way, under Xiaofang's active invitation, we gradually got acquainted with each other, began to eat together, chatted after work, and I gradually developed a good impression of her. Fang can always find a topic to talk to me about, and doesn't mind that I sometimes have to answer evasively.
One day, Xiaofang suddenly came to me and said that the marketing department wanted to make a new product promotion page and needed my help to do the technical implementation. I readily agreed, looking at her expectantly and with a little pride.
Xiao Ming, thank you for doing me this favor!Xiao Fang said sweetly, "I'm super looking forward to this new product, it will definitely sell like crazy!."”
Haha, you're welcome, I'm looking forward to it. I said shyly.
So we started working closely with the project. I often need to go to Xiaofang's desk to explain some technical details to her, or ask her for advice on page design. I have become more and more appreciative of Xiao Fang's work ability and professionalism, and she will often praise me, "Xiao Ming is really good at learning, he can program and design, he is simply the prince of the technology world!."”
While I was flattered, I was also more convinced that I really liked Xiaofang, a cheerful and generous girl who was very good at work. I've even fantasized about having a relationship with her and then forming a warm family.
For the first time in my life, I had the urge to pursue a girl. I made up my mind that after this project is over, I will muster up the courage to confess to Xiaofang!
Just when I was secretly looking forward to confessing to Xiaofang, an accident happened, which also made a subtle change in my relationship with Xiaofang.
I worked late at my seat that day, and most of the people in the rest of the company had already gone home from work. In the dead of night, I decided to go to the bathroom. When I passed by Xiaofang's desk, I suddenly saw that she was still inside!
I took a closer look, and saw Xiao Fang doing something with her back to the door, and a safe on her desk.
Xiaofang, why are you still here?I shouted in surprise.
Xiao Fang was obviously taken aback by me, she hurriedly closed the safe, turned around, and her face was obviously a little embarrassed: "Oh, Xiao Ming, you haven't left yet." I just haven't finished some things yet, so go back, I'll be back soon!”
I immediately noticed her abnormality, and seeing her flustered look, I couldn't help but have a doubt in my heart - could it be that Xiaofang was doing something unsightly in the office?
Xiao Fang, what did you just take in the safe?The company's safe needs to be kept secret, right?I asked tentatively.
What a safe, don't talk nonsense!Xiao Fang raised her voice, as if to hide something, "I just turned it off, it's all inconsequential material." Xiao Ming, you have to trust me!”
I looked at Xiao Fang's crying appearance, and my heart was mixed. I liked her so much that I even wanted to confess, but now it seems that she is hiding some secret that I don't know.
Xiaofang, you in the end. Just as I was about to ask, I heard the office door open open. It turned out that the department manager came back to pick up something, and he was also surprised to see the two of us here.
You two haven't left yet, huh?It's time to take a break from overtime. The manager said with a smile.
I was about to find a reason to prevaricate, but Xiaofang rushed out with red eyes, leaving me and the manager looking at each other.
Xiao Ming, is there anything going on with Xiao Fang lately?Something wasn't quite right with her just now. The manager asked me with concern.
I struggled to tell my manager what I saw. After much hesitation, I still decided to tell the truth: "Manager, I saw that Xiaofang had secretly opened the safe just now and seemed to have taken something, and when I asked her, her reaction was very strange, and she looked weak. But I don't know exactly what the situation is. ”
Hearing me say this, the manager's face immediately became ugly: "What?".She opened the safe without permission?That's the repository of the company's important information and contracts, and this kind of behavior is a serious violation!It seems that the situation is serious, I must investigate it clearly, thank you for telling me about this, Xiao Ming. ”
I nodded, but my mind was full of tears and helplessness on Xiaofang's face. I know that with her behavior, the company is likely to take drastic measures.
When I went to work the next day, I saw Xiao Fang hovering at the door of the office with red eyes. I stepped forward to care for her, but she ran away crying, and my heart suddenly tugged.
At noon that day, the department manager came to me into the office and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Ming, after my investigation, I found that Xiao Fang did open the safe without permission and took away some of the customer's contract documents. This is already a serious violation of the company's regulations, and I can only dismiss her according to the procedure. However, considering that you usually have a good relationship, this matter is still confidential and will not be announced to the public, and you should not make a noise. ”
After hearing this, I felt sad about Xiaofang's situation, but also understood that the company's decision was reasonable.
Manager, in that case, can you give Xiaofang a chance to explain?Listen to her thoughts before she fires, maybe things are not what we imagined. I pleaded tentatively.
The manager thought for a moment and said, "I understand your good intentions, but the facts are clear, and the company's decision will not change." We also gave Xiaofang a chance to explain, but she admitted her mistake herself. I'm sorry, Xiao Ming, I know this has a big impact on your relationship, but work is work, and I hope you can understand the company's position. ”
I walked out of the manager's office gloomily, numb. In the hallway, I saw Xiao Fang sitting alone on a bench, her head hanging deeply, motionless.
Xiaofang, the manager told me, don't be too upset. I tentatively walked over to her and whispered to comfort her.
I'm sorry, Xiao Ming, for causing you so much trouble. Xiao Fang raised her head, her eyes full of tears, "I know that what I did was wrong, and I can only accept the company's decision." Maybe you're disappointed in me now, but I didn't expect me to be such a person.
My heart broke when I saw her devastated appearance.
Xiaofang, I believe you didn't mean to. If you're willing to tell me why, maybe I can find a way to intercede for you. I plucked up the courage to say.
Xiaofang was silent for a long time before she choked up and said, "My mother is sick and needs money to be hospitalized, and I, as a daughter, can only find a way to solve the urgent needs of the family." But I didn't have much money, so I had to borrow the company's contract to pay the expenses first, and then find a way to repay them. I knew it was against the rules, but I really had no other choice. ”
Hearing her say this, I instantly understood that she was not selfish, but just loved her mother too much, so she made the wrong choice in desperation.
Xiaofang, don't worry, I will find a way to help you intercede with the manager. Although you did something wrong, the starting point was good. Perhaps there is hope for a mitigated punishment. I patted her on the shoulder and encouraged.
Thank you, Xiao Ming. But I'm ready to accept the company's decision, and you don't have to speak for me anymore, so as not to bother you. Xiaofang wiped her tears and said.
I was silent, not knowing what to do. On the one hand, I understand the company's position, but on the other hand, I can't watch Xiaofang leave. That's when I thought of a possible solution.
The next morning, I plucked up the courage to go to the manager and say that I was willing to pay off the contract arrears for Xiaofang, on the condition that the company could cancel her dismissal.
The manager was surprised when he heard this, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Xiao Ming, I understand your kindness, but the company system still has to be observed." As employees, we all have a responsibility to keep the bottom line. Now that it's over, let it pass. However, I appreciate your courage to take responsibility, and the company will focus on cultivating you. ”
I left gloomily, and after all, I couldn't change the outcome for Xiaofang. The dismissal procedures were quickly completed, and Xiaofang came to say goodbye to me on the last day of her resignation.
Xiao Ming, thank you for everything you have done for me. It may be difficult for us to see each other again in the future, but I will always remember you. ”
I watched her back drift away, and tears finally welled up in my eyes. I couldn't accept that I would never see her again.
After Xiaofang left, I would think about the bits and pieces of our work together every working day, and those laughter and laughter became a lingering shadow in my heart.
Xiao Ming, you've been in a bad state lately, is it because of Xiao Fang's incident that has affected you?"One day, the manager came to talk to me with concern.
I smiled wryly and nodded: "I know that I shouldn't let personal matters affect my work, but I really can't adjust my mentality immediately, please understand." I'm going to try not to make more mistakes in my work. ”
It's not that I blame you, it's mainly that I want you to get out of this past. The manager patted me on the shoulder, "But then again, last time you helped Xiaofang repay the loan for free, it also made me see your kind and upright side, and I appreciate your quality." Or, if you agree, I can recommend you to the top and give you the position of head of department, how about it?”
I pondered for a while and said sincerely, "I am very grateful to my manager for trusting me, but I think I still need to accumulate work experience and am not qualified enough to take on the role of supervisor." Give me a little more time to grow and I'll live up to your expectations. ”
Good!I appreciate your attitude. The company needs such modest and cautious, hard-working young people. The manager patted me approvingly on the shoulder.
Back at home, I thought about my manager's advice. Indeed, only by putting yourself into work can you forget Xiaofang. As a result, I began to concentrate on my tasks and work with great efficiency and quality. Working overtime has become my daily routine.
After a few months, I was rated as an excellent employee by the company, and my promotion was just around the corner. However, whenever I am alone, I still think of Xiao Fang's bright smile. This longing has become a weakness in my heart.
One night, I worked late and walked out of the office building tiredly, but I saw a familiar figure downstairs - Xiaofang standing under a tree with tears on her face.
Xiaofang, why are you here?"I couldn't believe my eyes.
Xiao Ming, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come to you. But I'm desperate. Xiao Fang choked up and told the sad news that her mother was critically ill.
My heart was full of heartache and self-blame. Xiaofang is at a low point in her life, and I shouldn't abandon her because of my emotions.
Don't say I'm sorry, blame me for not keeping you at the time. Let's go, let's go to the hospital. I took her cold hand and stopped a taxi.
Her mother was so sick that she was unconscious, and Xiaofang hugged her and cried bitterly. My wordless companionship gave her strength. Finally, with our silent company, the old man passed away peacefully.
My mother is gone, how will I live alone in the future?Xiao Fang couldn't cry.
You're not alone. I took her hand and said solemnly, "Be with me and start over." ”
Xiao Fang looked at me suspiciously. I mustered up all the courage to say the words hidden in my heart: "Xiaofang, I like you, very, very much. From the first time we met, you were the most important person in my life. We have misunderstandings and regrets, but I still want to go through all the ups and downs hand in hand with you. I can't promise how good it will be, but I'll do my best to make you happy. ”
Xiao Fang stared at me, and the complicated emotions in her eyes gradually turned into clear: "Start over with me." ”
I hugged her excitedly. When our lives hit the lowest point, we finally opened our hearts and found the strength to move on.
Later, we moved to a small seaside town and lived a simple and happy life. Whenever the sea breeze blows, I will be grateful for this gaze of life, because of love, I have become more brave and strong.
