During the Chinese New Year, I sent a message to the leader to thank him for his usual help and support, and said that he had mailed something, but the other party has not replied, is it for nothing?
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the unit has a ten-day holiday. I come from a small city, and after working for so many years, I have the opportunity to go back to my hometown. Before leaving, one of my plans is to send some New Year's goods and special products to several leaders of the company, which can be regarded as a kind of gratitude and gift.
My direct supervisor is Manager Wang, a middle-aged man in his early forties, who is diligent and conscientious, and has a solid and steady work style. I have learned a lot from Mr. Wang, and I have also received a lot of help and guidance from him. Therefore, I decided to send a special product to Manager Wang to express my gratitude.
In the New Year's goods store in my hometown, I carefully selected some high-quality local products, including pickled handmade sausages, home-brewed old vinegar, locally produced organic sweet potatoes, etc., and entrusted the courier company to deliver them to Manager Wang's house overnight. Early the next morning, the courier company showed that Manager Wang had personally signed for the delivery. I was happy, so I sent a message to Manager Wang:"Manager Wang, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year! I will remember your help and guidance to me over the past year. This is a little bit of my hometown specialty, not a respect, I hope you and your family have a satisfactory Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after tasting. "
However, in the following days, Manager Wang turned a blind eye to my message and did not reply for a long time. I wondered if the gift I gave was not expensive enough. Or does Manager Wang not want these country goods at all? I began to regret it, wondering if I had made the wrong decision.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was at home on holiday, and my home was also a lively scene. But I always lingered in my heart, and the faint uneasiness that Manager Wang didn't reply to. Could it be that I didn't think it through and caused him some trouble? At noon, I finally couldn't hold it anymore and sent a second message to Manager Wang:"Manager Wang, have you received the New Year's goods? If you don't like it, let's take a look at it next time and see what specialties you like. Happy Chinese New Year! "
As a result, Manager Wang still did not reply, and I had no idea at all. Is it really a gift for nothing? Before going to bed at night, I comforted myself that as long as Manager Wang received a piece of my heart with my heart, it was good to use no gifts. After all, our relationship is more than this, and his usual support and care for me far exceeds this small favor.
The next day, the first day of the first lunar month, I was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers from the uncle next door. I opened my sleepy eyes and habitually checked my phone first to see if there was any new information or important notices. As a result, what caught my eye was a voice message from Manager Wang.
Happy New Year, Xiao Zhang! I've received the New Year's gift from you, thank you so much. My family says you're so well-intentioned. I'm sorry, I've been too busy these two days and didn't have time to reply until today. These specialties are treasures from your hometown, and we all love them, so let's try them tonight. In the new year, I hope you are happy in your work and life, let us work together to create greater value for the company! "
Hearing this kind voice, I felt much more at ease. It seems that my gifts and intentions were delivered, and they were not wasted and neglected. In the workplace, we often have excessive suspicion and self-blame for some small things, in fact, as long as we treat others sincerely, others will understand.
I immediately replied:"Happy New Year, Manager Wang! Great, I'm relieved. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and good health! "Workplace
