Li Qiang muttered to himself in the face of a large pile of decoration materials in the living room, "We have to decorate well this time, after all, this will be our home in the future." He caressed the wall, imagining his future life. As a middle-level manager of the company, he doesn't talk much, but every sentence reflects his stability and shrewdness.
Li Meili brought two cups of freshly brewed tea from the kitchen, she gently patted her husband's shoulder and said, "Husband, the location of the house I bought this time is really good, and the environment is also elegant, we both have to work hard to make it change." ”
"Yes," Li Qiang smiled faintly and took the teacup, "I have to thank Mr. Zhao for giving such a good price." ”
"He is really good to you, telling you such important information, and giving you such a big discount." Li Meili smiled, "To be honest, I was a little worried at first, and I always felt that there was something behind it." ”
Li Qiang looked at Li Meili, "Your imagination is really rich, I am quite relieved that Mr. Zhao is a man and does things." Let's not think so much, people can buy it if they want to sell it, let's also make it convenient. ”
"That's, that's." Li Meili nodded, but suddenly approached her husband's ear mysteriously, "But oh, if you are promoted by Mr. Zhao because of this house, it will be really a double happiness." ”
"Don't think nonsense," Li Qiang chuckled and patted his wife's hand, "If I can be promoted, it's because of my own ability." ”
Although the conversation between the husband and wife is plain, it is enough to show the deep affection and tacit understanding between them. Li Qiang's dependence and trust in Li Meili, as well as Li Meili's support and trust in Li Qiang, constitute the solid foundation of this family.
Just when the husband and wife were planning their new home, the phone rang suddenly, and it was Mr. Zhao calling. "Li Qiang, how is the project at hand recently?"
Li Qiang immediately put away his smile and switched to work, "Mr. Zhao, I have been following up closely, and the current progress is very smooth." ”
"That's good, I've always been reassured of your abilities. By the way, what you need to add to your new home, just ask. After all, you are a very capable talent in my mind, and the future development of the company depends on you. Mr. Zhao's words were full of appreciation.
After the call, Li Meili asked curiously: "Why does Mr. Zhao still care about the decoration of our home?" ”
"Ha, Mr. Zhao is like this, he is very serious at work and cares about people." Li Qiang paused, "Perhaps, he is really optimistic about me, and he also hopes that I can go to the next level in the company." ”
"Then you have to behave even better." Li Meimei's eyes were full of pride in her husband.
In addition to adjusting the atmosphere, Li Qiang also knew in his heart that no matter whether it was because of buying a house or not, he would continue to prove his value with his strength. This is not only a response to Mr. Zhao, but also for the future of himself and his family.
As for Li Meili, she has always been the strongest supporter behind Li Qiang, and no matter what challenges her husband faces, she is the one who will always be on his side.
The walls of the new house have been painted in a pale beige color, and the furniture is in place. Li Qiang stood in the middle of the living room and nodded with satisfaction. A breeze blew through the windows, carrying a faint smell of paint and the smell of a new home.
"Husband, I heard that the company has been promoted recently, have you heard of anything?" Li Meili asked casually while arranging the pillows on the sofa.
Li Qiang put down the nail and hammer in his hand and turned to his wife, "Oh, you mean the position of the department manager?" That's true, but it's not yet certain. ”
"I'll just say it." Li Meili said happily, "You are so good, sooner or later." If we can go up, our home will be better furnished. ”
Li Qiang smiled and didn't care too much, "Okay, wife, whether there is this promotion or not, we have to tidy up our new home." ”
Li Meili put down the work in her hand and frowned, "However, I heard Sister Liu in your office talking about you behind your back today." She seems to be hinting that Zhao always considers promoting you because of this house? ”
Li Qiang couldn't help but be upset after hearing this, "You can't talk nonsense." Mr. Zhao promoted me because he valued my work ability and past achievements. This house is not a big deal, and I think it's better for us to be less involved. ”
"I know, I know," Li Meili hurriedly covered her mouth, "I said it casually, don't take it to heart." I have the most confidence in your abilities. ”
A cell phone ringing interrupted the conversation between the two, an email from the company, and Li Qiang was told to attend a leadership meeting next week. "It looks like this promotion is in earnest." Li Qiang was a little excited in his heart.
"Great!" Li Meili hugged him excitedly, "Look, I said that you will have a great day." ”
Li Qiang smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He knew that no matter what, he would prove everything with his strength. In any case, he needs to keep a clear head and not be swayed by the rumors around him.
Not long after, during an overtime work at the company, a colleague bumped into Li Qiang preparing to go home after working overtime. "Hey, Brother Li, are you tired today? I see you've been in good shape lately, is there any good news? The colleague said half-jokingly.
Li Qiang put down the folder in his hand, "Ah, it's okay." Nothing good news, just the daily routine. ”
"Don't be modest, we've all heard that you're about to be promoted in the company. I bought Mr. Zhao's house at a low price, and now it is estimated that there will be a return, right? The colleague winked his eyes playfully.
Li Qiang replied indifferently, "Work is work, and buying a house is a private matter." I've never thought about these two things together. ”
The colleague laughed a few times, patted Li Qiang on the shoulder and left. Li Qiang looked at the back of his colleague leaving, and then at the other people in the office who were still working overtime. Knowing the complexity of competition in the workplace, he should stick to his duty and pay attention to his work.
Li Meimei's support, the complicated eyes of his colleagues, and Mr. Zhao's appreciation all constitute Li Qiang's rich working life, and in the future, he has to face more challenges and opportunities.
As time passed, the promotion announcement that made Li Qiang look forward to and be nervous was finally released. As always, he was promoted to department manager as he wished, and this news caused quite a stir in the company.
Li Qiang stood in his new office, surrounded by silence, and through the window he could see the company's employees busy, and there was an indescribable feeling surging in his heart - joy, as if it were something else.
In the evening, Li Qiang returned to his new home, and the room that had just been tidied up looked particularly warm. After work, Li Qiang wants to continue to take care of his new home, especially the basement that has not yet been tidied up. He rolled up his sleeves and opened the door that led to the basement.
While helping to tidy up, Li Meili joked, "Husband, if you weren't so capable, I'm really worried about whether the company will have a plan." ”
"Haha, you know to be kidding me all day long." Li Qiang said with a smile, using a flashlight to illuminate the front.
While they were moving some old furniture, Li Qiang suddenly found a wooden box in the corner covered by cobwebs, and he walked over curiously. When I opened the wooden box, I saw two boxes of mud-sealed Moutai liquor, with obvious year marks on them - 1850.
"Wow, what is this?" Li Meili also came over and stared at the two boxes of antique wine in surprise.
Li Qiang couldn't hide his excitement, "This, this should be Moutai many years ago." Look at this mud seal, this vintage, if it is true, then this value may be ......"
The sudden wealth made him have mixed feelings in his heart, and he knew that these two boxes of Moutai were very valuable, but they brought a complicated trouble.
"Husband, you can't just deal with this wine." Li Meili said cautiously, "I remember that Mr. Zhao mentioned at the company dinner before that the Moutai collection left by his ancestors was accidentally lost. ”
Hearing this, Li Qiang was silent, and he realized that the meaning of these two cases of Moutai may be far more than just money.
If this matter is made public, it will undoubtedly cast an unnecessary shadow on the joy of promotion, and it may have a great impact on Mr. Zhao. He had to make a decision – to remain silent, or ......
Li Qiang took a deep breath, he would not avoid this question, he needed time to think carefully about how to face this unexpected challenge.
Li Meili looked at the silent Li Qiang and said softly, "No matter what, I support you." ”
Late at night, Li Qiang was still sitting on the stairs in the basement, holding a bottle of dusty Moutai in his hand, thinking. This is not only a choice of a sudden opportunity, but also a test of one's own morals and principles.
Li Qiang sat in the swivel chair in the office with great ambition, looking at the bustling staff outside, and he had a decision in his heart. These two boxes of Moutai are an unexpected touchstone, and he can't let it become a stumbling block on the road to the workplace.
After getting off work, he didn't go home directly, but went straight to Mr. Zhao's office. "Mr. Zhao, I have something to do with you." As he spoke, Li Qiang's voice was a little heavy.
"Oh?" Mr. Zhao put down the work in his hand and looked a little surprised, "What happened?" ”
"That's right," Li Qiang explained the two boxes of Moutai he found in the basement, and confessed his doubts and considerations, "I think these two boxes of wine are most likely the ones you once mentioned." ”
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he showed a nostalgic look, "Those two boxes of Moutai were specially collected by my father for his daughter's wedding, but I couldn't find them when I moved, I thought I had lost them a long time ago." ”
"Now they're in my house." Li Qiang said.
Mr. Zhao smiled at the corner of his eyes and patted Li Qiang's shoulder, "Xiao Li, I am very moved by what you do." You know, these days, there aren't many people who pay attention to integrity. ”
"That's as it should be, Mr. Zhao. Your cultivation in the company, I always keep it in mind. Li Qiang's tone was firm.
"Okay, it's so late, why don't you go home soon? By the way, you can keep one of the two boxes of Moutai, which should be my reward for your honesty. Mr. Zhao waved his pen and said without hesitation.
"How good is this..."Li Qiang hesitated.
"There's nothing bad about it," Mr. Zhao interrupted him with a smile, "For your honest sake, I'm very happy in my heart." ”
Li Qiang's heart warmed, and he nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao." ”
When she got home, Li Meili knew what was going on when she saw Li Qiang's expression. "How is it, how did you talk to Mr. Zhao?"
"Mr. Zhao decided to let us leave a box of Moutai as a reward." Li Qiang said lightly.
"It's a real surprise." Li Meili was slightly incredulous.
"Well," Li Qiang stared into his wife's eyes, "this incident has given me a great education." At all times, the most important thing is to keep your heart and integrity. ”
They stared at each other for a few moments, and both of them smiled. Home is not only a warm harbor, but also a place that carries their emotions, and Li Qiang's prestige in the company is not only because of his ability, but also because of the integrity he has shown.
Under the light, Li Meili looked at Li Qiang quietly, thinking about his words. They all understand that in the game between the workplace and family, they have chosen something more profound - integrity and responsibility as a person.
