Last week, I participated in a farewell party held by a retired colleague Lao Wang in the hotel, and I couldn't help but think of the cold atmosphere when my colleague Lao Sun retired last month, and I felt some emotion in my heart.
Lao Sun was in the same group as me, and he entered the unit two years earlier than me, but because he couldn't speak the scene and was honest, he had no chance to be promoted for so many years, and he has been doing low-level work.
Looking at the people around him who came later than him, and some young people who were promoted and raised, it was all false to say that they didn't envy him, but Lao Sun still "did his own thing", never took the initiative to tie up any leader, and stayed at his post and worked diligently.
In fact, I admire Lao Sun in my heart, although Lao Sun has a straightforward personality, he can be generous, and he has never been red because of work and leaders and colleagues, nor has he worn small shoes for others.
When Lao Sun was about to retire last month, his face was red every day, I asked him, just thinking about retirement, after retirement, there will be no one to chat with you and play chess, don't you feel uncomfortable!
Lao Sun said, uncomfortable and uncomfortable, should I retire or have to retreat, there are so many young people below, we have to give people a chance, but if the leader values my ability and hires me back, I will definitely fight for the company for a few more years.
After listening to Lao Sun's words, I thought to myself, it is impossible to re-hire, this simple and easy work, several leaders' relatives are waiting, how can you be asked to re-hire.
After a while, Lao Sun cleaned up the documents on the table, and even hummed a little song, seeing that he was so happy, I couldn't help but ask again, Lao Sun, why don't you just retire, are you so happy!
Lao Sun glanced at me, looked around again, made sure that no one was there, and then came to my side and whispered to me that when he went to deliver the documents last night, he heard that the leader was going to hold a farewell party, oh, it was for retired people.
You think, I'm the only one who is about to retire these days, this farewell party must be for me, our unit hasn't done this for many years, can I be unhappy.
If you really give me a farewell party, don't care if it's grand or not, I'm content, and it's not in vain that I sold my life for our company!
After saying that, Lao Sun hummed a little song and left, looking at the happiness he revealed from his back, I couldn't help but be a little worried, such an uncomposed thing can be true.
Besides, Lao Sun is just an ordinary employee in the company, and the company will spend that manpower and material resources to hold a farewell ceremony for him, I think this matter is hanging.
But I didn't tell Lao Sun what I thought, don't there be a case for things in this world, in case the leaders of our company are merciful, I don't make Lao Sun sad now!
With the passage of time, the day of Lao Sun's retirement is approaching, but the leaders above have not issued any documents about the farewell party, let alone documents, not even verbal notices.
From beginning to end, I only heard what Lao Sun said to me, and I now have a little doubt that he was overjoyed and said what he thought in his heart as the truth.
A week before my grandson's retirement, I still couldn't help but remind my grandson, but he said disapprovingly that maybe he wanted to surprise him, and he should not have known in advance, and told me to think that I didn't know.
Time flies, and Lao Sun ushered in his retirement day, and on this day, he specially put on a suit, shaved his beard, and specially pushed his head.
After completing the retirement procedures, Lao Sun slowly packed up his things, basically put something in the box, and came to talk to me for half an hour, and I had no intention of working.
It dragged on until noon, when Lao Sun had just finished cleaning up the things on the table and followed me to the cafeteria for a meal.
After eating, Lao Sun said to me, "Didn't you see my colleagues on the road, and they didn't ask me why I hadn't left yet?"
I didn't speak, I followed Lao Sun back to the office, and waited until about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Sun still had illusions and refused to leave.
But he was also a little anxious to wait, pacing back and forth in the office, I really wondered, isn't it just a farewell party, why is there any need to participate or not.
After staying for about half an hour, Lao Sun couldn't wait, so he went out and asked the person who went through the retirement procedures if there would be a farewell party tonight.
As a result, the man looked at Lao Sun with a puzzled face and said, I said that you are also the old man of our company, how many years have this kind of thing not been held, why are you still asking this, no.
Lao Sun asked another person without giving up, and the answer he got was indeed exactly the same, and then Lao Sun walked into the office with a decadent face, picked up the box on the table and was about to go out.
I saw that my grandson was in a state that was a little wrong, so I hurriedly chased after him, and my grandson almost cried when he saw me, and told me that there was no farewell party, it was all because I thought about it too much, and I took myself too seriously.
After saying that, Lao Sun went out with the box, and I saw people coming and going in the corridor, no one said a word to Lao Sun, and he left the company quietly.
Afterwards, I called a few good colleagues and asked my grandson to have a meal, which was also a farewell ceremony we held for him, and also made him feel more comfortable.
However, what Lao Sun heard before was indeed right, and the company did hold a farewell ceremony, but it was held in a personal name in the hotel, and the person who sent him off was Lao Wang.
Lao Wang is a well-known slippery head in our company, "see people talk about people, see ghosts talk nonsense" to describe him is the most suitable, although he has no big skills, but he relied on a mouth to win people's hearts and was promoted to team leader.
Because the hard conditions are not up to standard, he has not been rising, but the leaders value him very much, and even the employees under him are very respectful to him.
In fact, there is another main reason why Lao Wang is so popular, that is, he has a good son, although his son is a businessman, he has a very wide network.
Last time, I helped our manager and sent his little grandson to a key middle school in the city, which is still a top class, and the department manager has always been very polite to Lao Wang.
Last time, the mother of a colleague in our group fell ill and needed to be transferred to a hospital in the city for medical treatment.
Although there was little intersection between our two groups, Wang still extended a helping hand, and even went to the hospital to visit the colleague's mother in person afterwards.
It's no wonder that everyone in the company respects Lao Wang, and Lao Wang does a very good job, so that others can't find fault with it.
This time I held a farewell party for Lao Wang, but I also wanted to keep his connections, after all, who has no children and old people, I can't say that I will use Lao Wang one day.
The scale of the farewell party is quite large, basically a company of people have gone, the company also notified the old grandson, but the old grandson has a grudge in his heart, only asked us to congratulate the old Wang, and did not show up.
At the banquet, the people in the company went to Lao Wang one by one to toast, and some even took the opportunity to give generous gifts, putting out their own purposes, which was too realistic and lost the meaning of the original farewell party.
But Lao Wang didn't accept it, he just told the big guy that if there is something that needs help in the future, he will try to help as much as he can.
After the farewell party, I heard a colleague in the group say that the people in Lao Wang's group took turns to invite him to a meal, and some people from other departments also invited him, but there were very few.
None of us in the group invited, the reason for not inviting is also very realistic, most of our parents have passed away, and our children have stable jobs, as for the grandchildren's generation, we don't have to worry too much, just let it be, there is nothing to use to him, and naturally we will not spend this unjust money.
After that, I had a few meals with Lao Sun, and also talked about this matter, in this regard, Lao Sun said, this is the reality, people have connections, resources, there will be people to seek after, and we people have nothing, except for conscientious work, waiting for retirement, there is no other way.
I really didn't expect that the place where we have worked all our lives has become a field of interests, and the affection between people is all supported by money and interests, and there is no human touch at all.
It seems that the old saying is right, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, I look at me, or work honestly for two years, and then wait for retirement, I don't think about any farewell ceremony, just let me go quietly.
