I gave the leader a gift of 20,000 yuan, and he gave back a box of expired tea, and I was promoted the next month. Everyone thought I had succeeded in giving the gift, but I knew in my heart that the leader was warning me. I learned an important truth: in the workplace, success does not depend on superficial transactions, but on sincerity and strength.
"Boss, this is a little bit of my heart for you, please accept it. "I handed the gift money to the leader.
The leader took the gift money and smiled slightly: "Oh, so generous, I accepted it." ”
"Boss, do you drink tea? I have a box of good tea here, specially brought back from Yunnan, and it tastes very good. "I tried to continue to get closer to the leadership.
The leader shook his head unexpectedly: "No, I don't drink tea." ”
I smiled a little embarrassed: "That's fine, I'll bring something else to the boss next time." ”
Soon after, I was promoted to department manager, and everyone thought it was a gift from me. But I clearly knew that the box of expired tea given to me by the leader was a reminder to me that success is not based on superficial transactions, but requires the support of sincerity and strength.
