At first, Ling Ling was very satisfied with her job. Although they are not what brand-name university graduates of high school students, but work diligently, polite, and even the table of water cups are others placed neatly. In short, is a very difficult to pick out the fault of the person. The working environment is also good, the office specification is definitely the standard configuration of the white-collar class in the TV series. The boss is nice to talk to, coworkers are nice to get along with, the work is not easy but can be handled with ease. This is for just graduated, stepping into the workplace of the rookie, also counted on the right place, right time, right person and all have.
But this good feeling didn't last long, it was broken. It was actually just a few hours ago.
On the weekend, Lingling asked her college roommate, Fifi, to come out for milk tea.
Unlike Ling Ling, Fei Fei is a person who quickly wants to get rid of the workplace rookie, in the work of the emerging people, so she bought herself a lot of workplace newcomers "textbooks". What "you have to know the workplace rules 100", "how to get along with your colleagues" and "the boss's mind is not difficult to guess", and will be used in all of these "combat".
"How are your coworkers, do they get along?"
"It's all good, everyone takes care of me, I feel pretty good."
After listening to Lingling's expression, Fifi gazed at Lingling with incredulous eyes for 5 seconds.
Lingling was clearly confused by Fifi's exaggerated expression.
"What's wrong?"
Following Orderly's words, Fifi shook her head while letting out a heavy breath.
"I said, you've been on board for almost half a year, how come you're still in this state of workplace whiteness ah, you know, the office is like a palace drama, if you don't pay attention, you'll die a horrible death."
"Will not ah,", Ling Ling still do not know, "you think too much yourself."
"Big sister, you grow up, especially like your kind of public relations company, you have to keep a lot of heart."
?
Yingling took a sip of her strawberry-flavored yogurt, a bit distracted.
"Think about it, the coworkers around you, how they treat you differently than they treat other people, how your leader treats you differently than he treats other people."
After saying that, Fifi confidently took a sip of coffee and waited for Order's answer,
"Different ......." , Lingling bit into her habit, lost in thought, she could no longer taste the yogurt at all.
Speaking of different,令令 remembered. Last weekend, the same group of Liu Wen took a project, I do not know which colleague suggested a sentence to go to the bar to celebrate, the whole office responded enthusiastically. Lingling was too embarrassed to refuse, so she went along. In fact, she really did not like this situation, she just wanted to be alone and stay at home, even if she did not do anything. Lingling had planned to sit for a while and then leave, but things were just so unfortunate. That night, everyone was playing "No Dare", the rules of the game is very simple, turn the table, the carousel, the carousel has two pointers, respectively marked loss and win, they point to the person is the loser and the winner. The leader of the group is a good-looking young man, only to make you feel a little immodest, he always ruthlessly put forward some of the nature of the mooching punishment, such as the losing person let the winning person to touch the breasts, spanking, and so on and so forth conditions.
A few rounds down, there have been a number of female colleagues and male colleagues were touching breasts or spanking. The team leader laughed and said that this is to cultivate the professionalism of a public relations. Just as Lingling was about to leave, the carousel stopped again, with the losing pointer pointing to her and the winning pointer pointing to the team leader. In an instant. Lingling felt her scalp go numb. About because her expression at that time was so ugly that it made the team leader a bit embarrassed, the team leader did not make a move for half a day, he said, "It's no fun to keep playing those, forget it, let's play something else." Colleagues did not blindly coaxing, and soon put into a new game, we play very high, so that when you go no one noticed.
After listening to Lingling's memories, Fei Fei, like a long time ago, guessed the same.
"Do you know what you call this?"
Lingling shook, waiting for Fifi to explain. "You are the typical marginalized person in the workplace in the book, the transparent person who is not liked by his colleagues and boss! Let me ask you, that Liu Wen, is she also just graduated this year? Did she hit it off with her coworkers a long time ago?" Fei Fei aggressive.
Looking at Lingling nodding, Fei Fei seems to be greatly encouraged, "My big miss, your job is public relations ah, who will like you such a crepe public relations? You have long been ostracized by your colleagues."
"So what am I supposed to do?"
"Listen to me and change!"
After saying goodbye to Fifi, Ling Ling kept doubting herself. The footbridge that led to the bus stop was even longer and more tedious than usual. Lingling thought back carefully. She wasn't exactly ugly, nor was she pretty enough to be threatening, so she shouldn't be ostracized by others in that regard. There wasn't anything wrong with her work, she worked diligently, wasn't late or often on vacation, and was usually friendly and didn't talk much. If there is a disagreement with others, she is also the first to back down, not to mention the disagreement, he or she is in the corridor will be far away to others to give way to the kind of one. In any case, they should not be ostracized ah.
But Fifi's words have always stuck in your throat.
The next day at work, Lingling was preoccupied, and things became more cautious.
The lunch break, Ling Ling did not have the appetite to eat, she went to the pantry to get a cup of water, the office of Coco sister and Nana is around the water dispenser while waiting for the water to open the gap to discuss the relationship between the man's middle finger and the degree of that aspect of the great, Ling Ling stood aside to listen to a moment, Nana immediately fussed.
"Oops, this kind of topic, you this kind of little girl or don't listen." After saying that, he screeched to a halt and walked away after catching the water.
"It's not like anyone doesn't understand." Ling Ling thought to herself.
Office colleagues, from the team leader onwards, like to make some large-scale jokes.
For example, the team leader, his most never idle from the time he entered the office. "Nana ah, last night's technology how, convinced or not? How about tonight we are on a date."
The fat girl called Nana, not slow to the mouth stuffed with breakfast, "good ah, good ah, about, about!" Everyone was happily cheering from the sidelines as well. It was only then that the team leader started to shake the baggage, "Say yes, you memorize the room number, Happy Landlord, Room 6 in District 10." At this time in the office, it was a complete atmosphere of drinking beer and bullshitting at the dining table. But every time you get to Lingling here, it comes to a screeching halt, without context.
The colleagues in the office do not have a bad attitude towards Lingling, but it's as if everyone has said goodbye, no matter how much the office jokes will be like the last time in the bar, skillfully avoiding her. The team leader every time to their own account of the task, are concise and clear, never dragged the mud, all without half a sentence of nonsense, to maintain a superior to the subordinate should be the distance and respect, never and their own fight. Other colleagues in the unit is also, every time to open some peachy jokes, always skip the order. The same is true at work. The last time, there is a very good project, was supposed to be distributed to Lingling, but that night when talking about business, Coco sister said, the boss is more difficult, and love to take advantage of girls, afraid of Lingling inexperienced at a disadvantage, and finally the project was distributed to Liu Wen.
The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
These make Ling Ling's heart more than a lump, she was alarmed suddenly realized the problem.
After work, Lingling made a call to Fifi.
"I think well, I listen to you, I want to change."
"That's right!" Fifi encouraged Order like a leader. "You always give off an olfactory look, how can you not be ostracized and how can you be a good publicist?"
Fifi's words strengthened Lingling's determination to change, she could imagine that she was so bland in the eyes of the team leader and other colleagues that she was like a blank sheet of paper, and to be on the safe side, it was better not to joke with herself.
The next day, Lingling went to work and spoke like a different person. The team leader is joking with Coco, and there is a contract in her hand that she is about to hand over to the team leader.
"The team leader, yesterday about who went, let people good wait ah."
The opportunity is rare, Lingling see the needle.
"Of course it is good I about ah," Ling Ling finished the smooth trend of the arm on the shoulders of the team leader.
The team leader and Coco sister was obviously shocked by this move of Lingling, the two people looked at each other, do not know what to say. Lingling was ready to ride out the storm.
"Tonight, Team Leader, also asked me out, to rain on the parade."
After saying this, Lingling stuffed the documents into the arms of the team leader, leaving a dashing back and sailed away.
"What do you think happened to Lingling today? Sick?"
Hearing Sister Coco say this, Lingling's face brushed red, it's fine, just get used to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to.
The next start, Lingling began to learn some crazy peach color paragraph, lunch break, Lingling in the pantry with female colleagues to discuss their own ex-boyfriends have not.
"You know, I used to have a boyfriend who actually liked to wear women's corsets when he slept."
"Seriously." Amidst the incredulous exclamations of her coworkers, Ling Ling seemed to be encouraged.
"Sure, I'll tell you ......"
The peach gossip was really useful, and the female coworkers were attracted to Lingling. Lingling tried to keep herself relaxed and casual, to create a feeling of a veteran of the love field, laughing and joking, so that people have to re-know her, in order to redefine her aura. Such peachy gossips made Ling Ling more and more enthusiastic, so much so that at one point, she was so excited about her talk that she didn't notice that the team leader behind her was looking at herself with a complicated face.
"In short, ah, men are animals who think with their lower bodies." A few male coworkers on the side of the embarrassed laugh, female coworkers laugh even more raw. Lingling was simply mesmerized.
It's not hard to realize that what has changed is also the way Lingling dresses. The change began with a dot, and then a little bit of a dot slowly spread. She began to wear short skirts, stomped on high shoes, and wore heavy makeup. The original Lingling, even on the hottest day of the year, she hated to wrap herself up in monotonous black, white and grey clothes, just like a junior high school teacher's outfit. You are going to listen to Fifi's, let your own jump a little, not so modest. In this way, the hot ultra-short skirt was put on Lingling's body. She did not hesitate to change into it, wriggled out and squeezed the bus, all the way as if she had done something she should not have done.
Finally, her colleagues in the office started to notice her change, and they kept bombarding her with their amazement. Lingling pressed the fresh excitement in her heart and continued to observe without moving. She felt that everyone would soon be able to accept her, and she would soon be able to mingle with everyone, and then make some uncensored jokes.
Fifi also kept cheering on Ling Ling.
"Look, how is it, isn't the effect obvious? Keep it up, never keep it up."
But things did not go as Lingling imagined. The leader of the group was very serious to talk to her.
"Lingling, is there something on your mind lately? Your performance is declining ah."
Lingling playfully smiled, "It's not, it's been a long time since I've had a date with you, of course I have something on my mind."
The leader of the group tensed his face, not the slightest bit ready to answer.
"Kong Lingling, there is nothing to do, work well. Go away."
Lingling was obviously a bit overwhelmed. She has never seen the team leader angry.
When she came out, Sister Coco sweetly comforted Lingling.
"It's okay, he's a person who is not right about things, so don't take it to heart and work hard. There is a negotiation with Mr. Hu in the afternoon, the meal is booked, he is the company's biggest customer, you behave well."
Lingling nodded, but the heart for a moment no idea. Taking the opportunity to go to the toilet, Lingling decided to give Fei Fei a call, let her analyze the maze for herself.
"Hey, this is a good thing, this is the leader of the strict performance of you, shows that you have performed well during this period of time, want to focus on promoting you. Look, your recent homework is starting to pay off."
"Really, how do I feel ......." Lingling was clearly bottoming out.
"Of course, listen to me, yes. By the way, you'll have to be good at the socializing this afternoon."
"But, I heard that the client in the afternoon is the company's old patron, and the company's big boss is also there, it's not good for me."
"Think about last time, that Liu Wen how to get the customer you can not handle? Lingling, success or failure is here."
Hanging up the phone, Lingling took a deep breath. The last time this own effort to nine bulls and two tigers can not get the customer, the result of the dinner table by Liu Wen a few head scratching, between the cups of wine and easily get it done.
This time, Ling Ling feels that the stone of the other mountain can attack the jade.
In the afternoon, she made up her makeup and chose a nightclub-style tights, which did not let go of the exposed places. As a result, when she arrived at the hotel, she was dumbfounded. Everyone is wearing very formal formal wear, even Liu Wen has put on light makeup, the team leader's face is not good. Just when everyone was puzzled about Lingling, the big boss and the legendary Mr. Hu arrived. Obviously, Lingling was extraordinarily eye-catching among them. Although the boss's face was still springy, his eyes looking at the team leader were full of reproach.
Lingling decided, the sword to go sideways. This is very important to the company's General Manager Hu, is a big belly already bald middle-aged man. The company's main goal is to make sure that the company is able to meet the needs of its customers, and that the company is able to meet the needs of its customers, and that the company is able to meet the needs of its customers. The whole table, as if sitting on the boss, Mr. Hu and Lingling three people, completely did not put the other people in the eyes, and from time to time also walked over, intentionally or unintentionally and Mr. Hu to have some physical contact. She bounced around and kept clinking glasses, doubling up on all the drinks she had missed out on before. As a result, she got drunk before anyone else.
The boss's face was clearly not looking good anymore. The leader of the team kept giving Lingling a wink, and Coco, who was next to her, tried to pull Lingling back. But Lingling, who was already drunk, was full of excess strength.
"Hey, look, how come our team leader's face has turned into a pig liver color. Oh, is it because I didn't ask you out last night?"
Ling Ling couldn't remember how she got out of the box. Mr. Hu had already pushed her down to the corner of the wall, his hand unconsciously put down on his lap, she unconsciously struggled.
"Why, you female public relations don't just say no ah. Girls like you, I like."
Ling Ling was ready to push away that fat body, just at this time, she saw a strange middle-aged woman rushing towards her, she was going to call for help, the woman pulled away from Hu, Hu stumbled a few steps, fixed her mind, and had a look of horror on her face.
"Wife, it's not what you think, we had a good talk about cooperation, they are afraid that I won't, so they used this beauty trick."
令令 heard this sentence, did not react, a slap was slapped hard.
"Good little bitch, actually seduced my husband!"
Lingling couldn't hear what the woman was cursing again, the woman cursed while rushing over to grab her hair. In a daze, someone came over to pull the fight. Soon, Lingling sobered up half of the wine. Eventually, the woman cursed and dragged Mr. Hu away, we are not happy to part, the cooperation of things into a fiasco. Lingling saw the group leader's angry red face, and other familiar faces in the office.
"That, don't come to work tomorrow." The boss came over, didn't even look at Lingling, didn't even bother to call her by name, said directly to the team leader, and then walked away without looking back. Everyone dispersed one after another with the boss, no one said anything.
Sister Coco came over, looked like she wanted to say something, shook her head and left. Lingling looked at the back of everyone leaving, her face hung with tears of collapse. Like a paper man, she slowly squatted on the ground, her two arms crossed to hold herself tightly, as if a crack had exploded around her and she could see the bottomless abyss.
