My name is Li Xiangyang, I am 25 years old, and I am the nephew of my uncle Li Zhiqiang. My parents have passed away a long time ago, and I was raised by my uncle when I was a child. My uncle was very kind to me, not only providing me with room and board, but also sponsoring me to go to school.
But when I was a sophomore in high school, my grades plummeted, I became addicted to online games, and I ended up dropping out of school and staying at home. When my uncle found out that I had dropped out of school, he was very angry, but he still didn't give up on me.
One day, my uncle talked to me and said seriously: "Xiangyang, you can't go on like this, you must have a chance, I decided to let you work in my company, start from the grassroots level, learn to be a Xi person and do things." ”
When I heard that there was a job opportunity, I immediately begged my uncle to arrange a job for me, and my uncle thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a position for you in the company, you have to work hard and not let me down." ”
At this time, a middle-aged aunt-like person came over, looked me up and down, and said, "You are Li Zhiqiang's nephew, he asked you to report for duty? ”
I followed her to a dilapidated warehouse, where she pointed to a pile of miscellaneous items and said, "These things need to be sorted and organized, so let's get to work." ”
I was surprised, a little dissatisfied, and said, "I'm here to work, how can I be given this kind of work?"
The aunt sneered and said, "You think you have something great, but you are Mr. Li's nephew, and you have to start from the grassroots level." Hurry up and get to work, or I'll tell Mr. Li. ”
I could only get to work obediently, but I didn't feel good about it. I thought my uncle would give me a formal position, but I just wanted me to work here as a handyman. It's literally taking advantage of my labor, I do so much that I don't get paid a penny.
When I got home from work in the evening, I couldn't help but complain to my uncle: "Uncle, you let me go to work, I thought I could learn something, but I didn't know that I was just doing chores in the warehouse, which was not decent at all." ”
The uncle said solemnly: "Xiangyang, you have to start from the grassroots level, no work is easy." You can only grow if you have endured enough hardships. ”
I was about to say something, but my uncle had already turned and left. I could only endure my dissatisfaction and continue to work.
At noon, the aunt in the warehouse ordered me to go to the canteen to buy food. I couldn't help but ask her, "Aren't I here to work, why do you arrange me to do these errands every day?"
My aunt gave me a blank look and said, "Boy, who do you think you are, you have to start from the grassroots level, and you have to do all this work, you know?"
I could only go shopping in silence, and my heart was very unbalanced. I had been thinking about it all afternoon, thinking that my uncle had gone too far by using me like this.
When I got home in the evening, I plucked up the courage to say to my uncle, "Uncle, I've been working in the company for a week, but I'm doing some chores, which is different from what I thought." ”
The uncle put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Xiangyang, you have to know what it means to start from the grassroots level." These chores may seem simple, but they develop your patience and perseverance. ”
I said anxiously: "But uncle, I feel that I am being used, I work so many hours a day, and I don't have a penny of salary, I really can't accept it!"
The uncle was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, for the sake of your nephew, I'll arrange a formal position for you and go to the sales department as a salesman." But you have to remember that you have to start from the grassroots level, and you can't be proud. ”
I suddenly found the sales job to be very interesting, dealing with customers and paying attention to communication skills. It was different from what I had thought before, and I started to like it a little bit.
In the days that followed, I went out with different salespeople to visit customers and learn Xi their communication skills. I've also gradually found the ropes to build good relationships with my clients.
I decided to keep working hard and strive to be a great salesperson. Time flies and I've been working in the sales department for more than a year. Over the past year, I have relied on my own efforts to improve my sales performance and gradually win the trust of customers and leaders.
One day, the department had a big project that the salesperson needed to work on. Director Wang called me to the office and said, "Xiao Li, this project will be handed over to you, your performance is good, this time I will test your strength!"
I said excitedly, "Thank you, Director, for giving me this opportunity!" I will definitely go all out to fight for this project." ”
This is a large project in cooperation with the municipal government, and the order amount is up to 500,000 yuan. I carefully prepared the plan and presentation, and conducted several rounds of negotiations and demonstrations with the relevant person in charge of the municipal government, and finally won the order after a month.
After Director Wang saw the order, he said happily: "Xiao Li, you are indeed very talented in sales, and if you can get this big project, your performance can be promoted to the supervisor level." Keep it up!"
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Director for his recognition of me. When I came home in the evening, I excitedly said to my uncle, "Uncle, I have performed well in the company, and I can already be promoted to supervisor!"
Uncle smiled and said, "Xiangyang, you have done a good job, I am proud of you." But you can't be proud, you have to continue to work hard, and one day you can become a pillar of the company!"
I nodded, determined to keep working hard and strive for greater achievements.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been working in the company for 5 years. In the past 5 years, I have made great efforts, and my performance has been continuously improving, and I have become the backbone of the company's sales department. I have also contributed to the development of the company.
On this day, my uncle suddenly talked to me with a serious expression. I was a little nervous and didn't know what my uncle was going to say.
Uncle said: "Xiangyang, in the past 5 years, you have worked very hard in the company and performed well, I am very pleased. But you can also see that I haven't paid you a salary once in the past 5 years, you should have your own ideas, right?"
I plucked up the courage and said, "Uncle, I haven't received a penny of wages in the past five years, and it is really unreasonable to work so long hours every day. I thought about getting out of here, too. ”
Uncle nodded and said, "I understand your thoughts. But I do this in the hope that you will grow. Since you already have your own ideas, then I respect your choice. ”
After saying that, my uncle took out an envelope and asked me to take it and think about it. I took the envelope in confusion, and my uncle turned and left.
I was shocked by this sudden change, and I looked down at the envelope in my hand with mixed feelings. What the hell is this envelope, should I open it and see?
I hesitated, my palms sweating. This envelope could change my fate, and I don't know if I have the courage to face it.
Just before I was about to open it, Director Wang suddenly called and said that the company had an important customer that I needed to visit, and we had to win this business.
I could only carefully fold the envelope and go to this important business appointment first. I fought hard and negotiated with the customer for a long time, and finally persuaded the other party to sign the order.
When I was done, my mind returned to the mysterious envelope. On the way home, I pondered whether I should turn it on.
When I got home, I tentatively said to my uncle, "Uncle, about the envelope you gave me, I'd better not open it, just don't see it." ”
Uncle said calmly: "Xiangyang, I respect your choice. However, there are some problems that must be faced, and avoiding them will not solve them. ”
I hesitated, but finally plucked up the courage to pick up the envelope and carefully tear the seal. It contained a piece of 4 paper, which read: "I have not given you a cent less than my salary for these five years." ”
I was stunned and hurriedly asked my uncle, "What does this mean?
Uncle nodded and said, "Yes, in the past five years you have worked in the company, I have paid your salary and bonus according to the standard, but I did not give it to you directly, but deposited it in the bank in your name." ”
I was shocked and had no idea that this would be the case. I was so moved that I couldn't speak.
Uncle continued: "Xiangyang, in the past five years, I have asked you to start from the grassroots level, just to cultivate your patience and perseverance. Not only do you learn the skills you need to work, but you also develop a sense of responsibility. I'm glad you grow. Now, you can choose your future. ”
I burst into tears and gave my uncle a big hug. It turned out that in the place where I couldn't see, my uncle had been silently caring for me and perfecting me.
I decided to stay with the company and approach each day with a new mindset. I want to turn my uncle's expectations into reality and try to prove to him that his teachings are not in vain. Whenever I get stuck, I think of that envelope and stick to it.
There is still a long way to go in life, and I know that as long as I am willing to put in the effort, I will definitely become the person my uncle expects. All of this is thanks to my uncle's careful cultivation in the past five years. I definitely won't
I will not let my uncle's expectations be disappointed.
A few days later, my uncle talked to me again, and he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiangyang, you have grown into a person who is in charge now, and I want to hand over an important position in the company to you." ”
I hurriedly said, "Uncle, I am still young and not qualified to take on such an important position. Let me gain more experience. ”
Uncle nodded and said, "Okay, since you still want to exercise more, I'll give you a few more years." Remember, leading a team requires responsibility, intelligence, and patience. These take time to accumulate. ”
Over the next few years, with the support of my uncle, I took over the company's core business unit and managed dozens of employees. In the beginning, I often had disagreements with my subordinates over the way I handled problems, and the team didn't work closely together.
But I didn't get discouraged, but repeatedly self-reflected and put myself in the shoes of my subordinates. I also asked my uncle how he had run a company before. He said that the most important thing is the word "sincerity". Only sincerity can influence others.
I kept my uncle's teachings in mind and communicated openly with my subordinates to understand their thoughts. Gradually, we built trust and teamwork got better.
Under my leadership, the performance is booming, and my uncle is very pleased to see it.
After another two years, my uncle called me to the conference room and said in front of the whole company: "Xiangyang, I see your growth in the company over the years." You have successfully led the business team and proven yourself to be the head of the company. Therefore, I have decided to pass on the position of chairman to you and let you take over the overall operation of the company. ”
I was so excited, but I was at peace. I looked at my uncle and said solemnly, "Uncle, I will remember your kindness and love for me over the years." I will definitely carry forward your entrepreneurial spirit and run the company better!"
Uncle nodded in satisfaction, a relieved smile on his face. In the presence of all the employees of the company, I officially took over the company.
There are too many uncertainties in the journey of life. But one thing is certain, and that is that the love my uncle has given me will make me persevere and live and work with a positive attitude. I will pass on this love and make it the most valuable spiritual wealth of this enterprise.
It has been a year since I took over the chairmanship, and in the past year, I have worked hard to implement my uncle's last wish and lead the company to continue to grow.
The company's performance has been booming under my leadership, but I am not complacent. I always keep in mind my uncle's teachings and maintain a modest and prudent attitude towards my work.
One day, my uncle suddenly called me, and his tone was full of deep concern: "Xiangyang, I am very pleased to hear that you have led the company to great development. It's just that you are now burdened with heavy responsibilities, and you must not be proud of your achievements, but you must keep a humble heart. ”
I immediately replied, "Uncle, you are absolutely right. I will take care to maintain a humble mindset and not be complacent with momentary achievements. ”
The uncle said with satisfaction: "Xiangyang, you have become an excellent entrepreneur now, but never forget your original intention. Always check your heart and try to keep that kind and humble heart. ”
"I remember your teachings, and I will definitely keep in mind my original intention and be a warm entrepreneur. "I solemnly promise my uncle.
After hanging up the phone, I pondered my uncle's words and felt that I still had a long way to go.
A month later, the company was going to hold an annual meeting, and I wanted to keep a low profile, but the employees took the initiative to hold a celebration to thank my leadership.
At the annual meeting, every employee took the stage to speak, expressing their respect and gratitude to me. The atmosphere was warm, and everyone wanted to send me blessings and gifts.
Under everyone's gaze, I smiled and slowly stood up, saying, "Thank you very much for your affirmation and encouragement. But the results we have achieved are the result of the joint efforts of all employees, and I just represent you. In the future, we will continue to maintain a humble heart, continue to surpass ourselves, and let the company go further. ”
There is still a long way to go in life, and I will continue to uphold my uncle's teachings, keep that kind and humble heart, and live and work with a positive and enterprising attitude. I believe that as long as my heart is strong, there is no need to be afraid of the storms in the outside world, and I will definitely be able to turn my uncle's expectations into reality.
