Zhao Hai stood at the door of the company, the familiar iron door shimmering in the sun, he gently touched the door frame, recalling the smiling faces and sweat of the colleagues who fought side by side in those years. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked towards the station with the already old cloth duffel bag. There was no farewell banquet, no tears, just like his usual style, low-key and realistic.
"Brother Hai, do you really want to leave so suddenly?" Xiao Li said to Zhao Hai in a slightly reproachful tone in the office.
"yes, you didn't even tell us, you weren't prepared at all. Xiao Zhang also chimed in.
Zhao Hai replied with a smile: "The farewell is too heavy, I like to be relaxed." You are young, you still have a long way to go, and my work here has been sorted out, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Back in his hometown, Zhao Hai made a cup of rich tea, sat on the old rattan chair in front of his window, and looked at the familiar land outside the window, his heart finally relaxed. The rare leisure gave him more time to reflect on his past life efforts and gains.
The ringing of the phone suddenly broke the silence of the early morning. Zhao Hai slowly picked up the microphone: "Hey, hello." ”
"Brother Hai, I'm Xiao Li, you... Did you know that something was wrong with the unit? On the other end of the phone, Xiao Li's voice sounded anxious and helpless.
"Oh, what's wrong?" the expression on Zhao Hai's face didn't change much, he just asked softly.
"It's a document, that... You should be responsible, and now the customer is in a hurry to get the result, and we can't find the corresponding record..."
"Have you checked my desk? In the second drawer on the left, there's a blue folder. Zhao Hai calmly guided.
"I've checked, I've checked it several times, but I haven't... Brother Hai, do you remember what it was?"
Zhao Hai suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he was still patient and tried to recall it little by little, although he knew that what he really needed might be a ticket back. Since Zhao Hai left, the originally well-organized work suddenly seemed a mess. Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, and other colleagues who stayed in the company are trying to fill the void he left behind, only to find themselves struggling to achieve his efficiency and accuracy no matter what.
"Xiao Li, what do you think of this report?" Xiao Zhang anxiously walked to Xiao Li's desk with his computer.
Xiao Li took the computer and looked at it, frowning: "It seems that it is not the same as what Brother Hai did, we have to check the data again." ”
"Oh my God, I've checked it three times, can this data be wrong?
Before they could check again, a bigger problem arose than the data. It turned out that an important approval document eventually led to a huge loss of money due to some handover mistakes when Zhao Hai left.
Ma Yuntian rushed out of his office in a hurry and said to the employees in the office: "Everyone, pay attention, there is a serious problem now." The last contract handled by Zhao Hai was due to some problems, and the customer asked us to pay liquidated damages, and we had to find a solution immediately. ”
For a moment, the atmosphere of the whole office became dull.
Zhao Haige has been in charge of this project, and we can't get a clue about him now. Xiao Li said anxiously as if he had lost his soul.
"How do I think we are becoming more and more inseparable from Brother Zhao Hai, I didn't feel that his work was so important before. Xiao Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and spread his hands helplessly.
"Now is not the time to miss and we need to hurry up and solve the problem. Ma Yuntian said eagerly.
Xiao Li had an idea at this time and said, "Mr. Ma, have you looked for Brother Zhao Hai's family? Maybe they can help us find clues." ”
Ma Yuntian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Good idea, let's contact his family." ”
Then, everyone was looking for the contact information of Zhao Hai's home, and finally found the number of Zhao Hai's hometown in the old address book.
Zhao family.
The phone rang, and Zhao Hai's son Zhao Pengfei answered the phone: "Hey, hello, who is it?"
"Hello, I am a colleague of Mr. Zhao Hai, and we have an urgent problem to find your father. ”
"Ah, my dad is retired, and he says he doesn't care about the company anymore. What's wrong?' Zhao Pengfei was a little surprised.
On the other end of the phone, Ma Yuntian quickly explained the situation, hoping that Zhao Pengfei could provide some clues.
After listening to this, Zhao Pengfei looked very embarrassed: "My father hasn't talked much about the unit in the past two days, so I asked him if he knew about it." ”
Hanging up the phone, Zhao Pengfei turned around and saw his father Zhao Hai sitting in a rocking chair at the end of the corridor, pondering.
"Dad, just now the leader of your unit called, saying that there was a problem with an important document and I need your help to recall. Zhao Pengfei said with some concern.
Zhao Hai was silent for a while, he knew that although he had retired, the problem left to the company had not been resolved. It seems that he will have to stand up again and give a final account of his past responsibilities. In this small town, Zhao Pengfei and several of his friends gathered in the small courtyard of the Zhao family, and they were very surprised to hear about Zhao Hai's father.
"How could your father leave because of work, isn't he already retired?" asked my little friend Xiao Liu suspiciously.
Zhao Pengfei frowned: "I don't know very well, the leader of the unit said that because of a document problem, he is in a hurry to find my father now." But Dad didn't seem to mention it at all. ”
"Could it be that he has encountered some unspeakable trouble? Otherwise, how could he not say goodbye. Xiao Chen speculated beside him.
Zhao Pengfei said uneasily: "I always feel that there is some misunderstanding in this. Dad has worked so hard for so many years, it is impossible to just ignore it. ”
The friends were talking, and everyone was speculating about why Zhao Hai suddenly left his familiar environment, relatives and friends.
"No, we can't just guess. We have to do something!" Xiao Li stood up, his voice full of determination.
Zhao Pengfei felt that Xiao Li was right: "Yes, if my father really has difficulties because of the company's affairs, we should help him solve it." ”
So, Zhao Pengfei and his friends began a journey to find Zhao Hai.
They first decided to dig up clues from Zhao Hai's old colleagues. Xiao Zhang is Zhao Hai's good friend in the unit, and he is also surprised by Zhao Hai's departure.
Xiao Zhang said to Zhao Pengfei: "Brother Zhao is a very responsible person, he did everything very well when he was in the unit. He retired and left, catching us all off guard. ”
"Then do you think there is anything wrong with my father's behavior before he retires?" Zhao Pengfei asked eagerly.
Xiao Zhang thought for a while and replied: "Actually, Brother Zhao was indeed a little depressed before he retired, but we all thought it was just normal reluctance and confusion after retirement. ”
The friends were silent for a moment, and Zhao Pengfei suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Let's go to Brother Zhao's favorite fishing place to have a look." ”
So they drove there.
When they finally arrived at the shore of the lake where they were fishing, it was getting late and the lake was sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun. At a glance, they saw Zhao Hai in the pavilion by the lake, where they were silently fishing for fish.
Zhao Pengfei stepped forward and whispered, "Dad, everyone is worried about you." ”
Zhao Hai turned his head and saw his son and a group of friends, showing a hint of a smile: "I'm fine, I just want to come here quietly." ”
"But do you know that the unit has a big problem because of a document, and now the leaders are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Zhao Pengfei said anxiously.
Zhao Hai sighed, "I know, there should be a blue folder in the second drawer on the left side of my desk..."
"We've looked for that, but no. Zhao Pengfei interrupted.
Zhao Hai was silent for a while, and finally spoke after staring at the water for a long time: "Then I should take it home and put it in my study..."
A simple answer set off waves in the hearts of several people, but it also revealed the truth to them: behind Zhao Hai's departure was not a big problem as they imagined, just a small negligence. In the pavilion by the lake, Zhao Hai carefully explained the whereabouts of the document in detail, and Zhao Pengfei was relieved after hearing it.
"Dad, my friends and I are worried about it, it turns out that this is the case. Zhao Pengfei said helplessly and guiltily.
Zhao Hai patted his son's shoulder and comforted him softly: "I am very grateful that you can care about me so much." I should have made this clear to you sooner. ”
When he returned home, Zhao Pengfei immediately called Ma Yuntian: "Mr. Ma, the documents were found, and my father brought them home by negligence for a while." ”
"Great!" Ma Yuntian let out a long sigh of relief, "Mr. Zhao's diligence and professionalism over the years are something we can't ignore." ”
Subsequently, Ma Yuntian personally drove to Zhao Hai's house, not only bringing an apology to Zhao Hai, but also sincere thanks for his past contributions.
"Mr. Zhao, we didn't realize that your work is so important to the company, and this accident has taught us a profound lesson. Ma Yuntian said sincerely.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let the past pass, I'm already retired, let these things be left to the young people." ”
With family and old friends in the company, Zhao Hai found the peace of retirement. Through this accident, Zhao Pengfei and his friends also better understood Zhao Hai's hard work and dedication, and their family relationship was deepened in this special experience.
At the family dinner, Zhao Hai raised his glass and said, "Today, I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and understanding. ”
"We owe a debt of thanks, Dad. Zhao Pengfei looked at his father, his eyes full of respect.
As night fell, Zhao Hai sat quietly in the backyard, thinking about his ordinary and meaningful life. He looked at the stars in the sky, and a deep sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
The wind blew gently, bringing with it the scent of rice wafting from afar. Zhao Hai muttered to himself: "Does a person really need too much fame and fortune to prove his worth?"
