Li Xiaomei's career is like a hot-blooded comic that has just begun, and every page is full of unknowns and surprises. And today, this sunny Thursday, seems destined to be a highlight of her career.
Li Xiaomei stood in the kitchen, holding a hastily prepared snack in one hand and a steaming cup of coffee in the other, ready for an important video conference to come. It was an occasion for her to present the company's top management with the brilliant progress of her first project. However, the god of fate seems to be particularly fond of playing tricks on this newcomer to the workplace, and an unexpected "farce" is about to unfold.
Just five minutes before the meeting was about to start, Li Xiaomei's kitten, the usually well-behaved and cute little guy, suddenly rubbed at her feet like a little gluttonous cat, obviously hungry. Li Xiaomei was distracted, and by accident, the cup of freshly brewed hot coffee poured down like a waterfall and poured directly on her shirt, which was as white as snow. For a moment, her shirt changed from professional and capable to colorful "art" works, as if she had just participated in a coffee spill competition.
In the face of this sudden "disaster", Li Xiaomei had nothing to do, because time did not allow her to change her clothes. In her haste to pick up a heavy folder, she held it over her chest like a shield, hoping to cover the conspicuous coffee stains. I silently prayed in my heart that this folder could play its "multiple values" today.
Li Xiaomei hurriedly logged in to the video conference system, only to see that the leaders and colleagues on the screen had joined one after another. She nervously adjusted her position and angle, trying to find the best angle to shoot that would look decent and subtly hide the stains.
However, just as she sat down and was about to start the presentation, the mischievous kitten seemed to be attracted by the atmosphere of the meeting, and jumped up and jumped directly onto the computer keyboard. In an instant, the PPT on the screen was like a hacker attack, with text, pictures, and scroll bars messed up, as if a crazy visual feast had been staged.
Li Xiaomei was scrambling to try to catch the troublesome "little assistant" while trying to restore the normal state of the PPT. Her anxious expression contrasted with the chaos on the screen, triggering bursts of laughter from the rest of the meeting.
Just when Li Xiaomei finally calmed down and was about to start a formal report, she suddenly found that her microphone had been muted. At this point, she had no time to explain the confusion on the screen and her own embarrassed expression. Fortunately, her direct boss stepped forward in time to relieve her, and he said with a smile: "Li Xiaomei, it seems that your little assistant also wants to participate in our discussion today!"
The meeting continued in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Despite many twists and turns, Li Xiaomei finally succeeded in completing her report. Her project was recognized by her leadership, and she learned from this experience the importance of uncertainty in the workplace and the importance of a sense of humor and resilience to deal with unexpected situations.
After the meeting, Li Xiaomei gently stroked the kitten that jumped on her lap, and her heart was full of emotion. She decided that in order to cope with the future video conference, she would not only prepare a spare shirt, but also a better toy for the kitten so that it would not break into her work territory again. And today's thrilling video conference will also become an unforgettable and unbearable memory in her career.
