The atmosphere in the office was extra relaxed today. As the sunlight poured in from the window, Li Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the headache project before the deadline. He turned around and saw that Wang Xiaoli was also busy at her workstation, and her bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Wang Xiaoli wore a pink dress today, radiant, and an out-and-out sunny girl. Li Xiaodong is a little envious of Wang Xiaoli's extroversion, he is a relatively introverted person, and he always feels a little clumsy when communicating with others. But in working with Wang Xiaoli, he slowly learned how to communicate with people. Wang Xiaoli can always solve complex problems with a few simple words, which makes people feel friendly and professional.
During the lunch break, the two went to the restaurant downstairs together.
"Wang Xiaoli, what do you want to eat today?" Li Xiaodong asked politely.
"Whatever you want today, you decide, Li Xiaodong." Wang Xiaoli left the decision to him, and seemed to have a soft spot for any food.
After choosing two Japanese-style set meals, the two of them found a corner seat and sat down.
"How have you been? Isn't work tiring? Wang Xiaoli asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's mainly because you helped a lot, I have to thank you." Li Xiaodong replied sincerely.
"Wherever and wherever I am, I am also handy to help, and you are also very capable." Wang Xiaoli said, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
The two chatted about family life and interesting things they encountered at work, and time flew by.
After lunch, the two were ready to go back to the office. Li Xiaodong noticed that Wang Xiaoli looked a little embarrassed, as if she was looking for something.
"What's wrong, Wang Xiaoli?" Li Xiaodong asked.
"No, nothing." Wang Xiaoli was a little cramped, but quickly adjusted her mood and squeezed out a smile.
Li Xiaodong knew that Wang Xiaoli was a person with strong self-esteem and never liked to show his troubles in front of others, but he still warmly offered to help, "If there is any trouble, say it, we are friends." ”
At this moment, Wang Xiaoli's mobile phone rang, it was the customer's phone, and she hurriedly got up to answer it.
In the busy work routine, two people with very different personalities gradually become friends. The friendship between Li Xiaodong and Wang Xiaoli is like a small but warm corner of the city. Even if it is not spoken, the mutual support and understanding have quietly grown into an indispensable existence.
With the deepening of the work, the cooperation between Li Xiaodong and Wang Xiaoli has become more and more tacit. Not only are they able to cooperate silently at work, but even their coffee habits are becoming more and more similar.
One morning, Wang Xiaoli was faced with a difficult customer problem, which was a difficult problem about international marketing, and although Wang Xiaoli was very capable of doing things, she still seemed a little powerless for such a complex matter. Just as she was about to report to her manager for support, Li Xiaodong noticed her troubles.
"Wang Xiaoli, you look like you have a headache, can I help?" Li Xiaodong walked over and asked.
Wang Xiaoli hesitated, but still shared the problem with Li Xiaodong. After discussions and collaboration between the two, a bold and effective solution was quickly formed. Li Xiaodong not only provided his own understanding of the international market, but also generously shared his precious industry resources.
"Li Xiaodong, you are really my savior!" Wang Xiaoli was grateful, "How can I thank you?" ”
"Don't say that, we're teammates, we should." Li Xiaodong smiled and waved his hand.
However, Wang Xiaoli still felt that simple gratitude was not enough to express her gratitude, and she secretly decided that she must find an opportunity to repay Li Xiaodong's help.
Soon, that opportunity came. During a weekend of company team building, Wang Xiaoli saw an opportunity to give Li Xiaodong something back.
"Everyone get ready, we will have an outward bound training next time - trust fall." The trainer announced loudly.
Li Xiaodong was not very good at this kind of activity, and he was a little nervous. He hesitated when he stood on the stage with his back to his colleagues and needed to close his eyes and fall back, fully trusting that they would catch him. Wang Xiaoli sensed Li Xiaodong's discomfort.
"Li Xiaodong, don't worry, you fall backwards, I will be the first to catch you." Wang Xiaoli encouraged him.
Sure enough, at the moment when Li Xiaodong closed his eyes and fell backwards, it was Wang Xiaoli who stepped forward and caught him steadily. Li Xiaodong opened his eyes and saw Wang Xiaoli's reassuring smile.
"Look, I'll catch you." Wang Xiaoli said to Li Xiaodong.
Li Xiaodong felt a burst of warmth, and the friendship between them deepened at this moment. Li Xiaodong finally understood that Wang Xiaoli was not only a colleague, but also a trusted friend.
Lunch time was approaching, and Wang Xiaoli proposed to invite Li Xiaodong to dinner as a token of gratitude. Li Xiaodong readily agreed. They chose a cozy restaurant and sat by the window.
"I'll do it this time, your choice last time was great." Wang Xiaoli said and picked up the menu.
However, when the waiter brought the ordered meal, Wang Xiaoli unexpectedly found that she had forgotten to bring her wallet, and she instantly fell into embarrassment.
"It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing." Wang Xiaoli's face was flushed as she spoke.
"It's okay, Wang Xiaoli, I'll come this time." Li Xiaodong saw Wang Xiaoli's embarrassment and took the initiative to take out his wallet.
In the process of lunch together, Wang Xiaoli was very touched by Li Xiaodong's generosity and carelessness. Peers are close to each other, and mutual understanding and support between colleagues have become an invisible bond between them. Helping each other makes the friendship between the two more mellow like old tea, and also inadvertently paves the way for the arrival of the main event.
The climax of the story comes to a delicate moment. Since that lunch, Li Xiaodong has remembered the 760 yuan every time he meets Wang Xiaoli. He knew that Wang Xiaoli didn't mean it, and thought that maybe she just forgot about it for a while.
The days passed like a white horse, and the busy work made the two rarely have time to chat, and the matter of the money has been put on hold. Although Li Xiaodong has enough trust in Wang Xiaoli, he can't help but feel a little anxious, because for him, 760 yuan is not a small amount.
Whenever after work, Li Xiaodong would inadvertently look at Wang Xiaoli's back, thinking about whether to mention the money for that lunch. Fearing that he would accidentally damage the rare friendship between his colleagues, he had no choice but to hold an uneasy mentality, telling himself again and again: "Wait, she may just be too busy to forget." ”
On this day, when it was time to get off work, the people in the office were almost gone. Wang Xiaoli seemed to be working overtime, Li Xiaodong tidied up the desktop and walked to Wang Xiaoli.
"Wang Xiaoli, do you still have any more work? Need my help? Li Xiaodong asked tentatively.
"Well, I need to deal with some more documents today, you go first, Li Xiaodong." Wang Xiaoli didn't look up, and the pen in her hand moved quickly.
Li Xiaodong stood for a while, wondering if he should settle the matter by the way today. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Xiaoli suddenly put down the pen, looked at him and said, "Li Xiaodong, can you give me a ride later?" It's also easier for me to pay back the money for that lunch. ”
Li Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Of course you can, Wang Xiaoli." ”
On the way home, the two didn't say much, and there was an inexplicable tranquility in the car. When the car stopped in front of Wang Xiaoli's house, she handed the envelope she had prepared in advance to Li Xiaodong.
"Thank you for taking care of you all the time." Wang Xiaoli said sincerely and warmly.
Li Xiaodong took the envelope, he knew that this was not only 760 yuan, but also Wang Xiaoli's sincerity and simplicity. This incident taught him a valuable lesson: sometimes trust and wait are valuable, and it can bear witness to the value of friendship.
Their eyes are full of gratitude and understanding, which is the most sincere emotional exchange between colleagues. Their smiles brightened in the warm yellow light under the headlights, and the precious mutual help and trust between colleagues is a haven of tranquility in this bustling city.
Under the warm light, Li Xiaodong drove the car and sent Wang Xiaoli back to her door. With a soft sound of the car door, Wang Xiaoli turned around and handed Li Xiaodong an envelope.
"Li Xiaodong, this is the money for lunch that day, I should pay you back." Wang Xiaoli said.
Li Xiaodong took the envelope, and the stone in his heart finally landed. He looked at Wang Xiaoli and said sincerely, "Thank you, Wang Xiaoli." It's not just about money, it's about your integrity and sense of responsibility. ”
Wang Xiaoli smiled faintly, "We are colleagues, but also friends, and we should help each other." ”
Gently closing the car door, Li Xiaodong drove away, thinking about this little episode. In the workplace, whether it is a busy or quiet day, trust and support between colleagues play an important role. Wang Xiaoli's behavior is not only to return 760 yuan, but more importantly, she reaffirmed the moral code of integrity, which lit up the temperature of human nature in the business society, which Li Xiaodong never expected.
The next day, in the office, the two smiled and nodded, and their respect and trust for each other were self-evident. This experience was like a gentle wind, blowing away the uneasiness and doubts in Li Xiaodong's heart, and what brought him was hope and persistence for the future.
In the days to come, they continued to struggle in their respective jobs, and that warm memory became the most valuable wealth in their hearts. This simple but solid bond between colleagues has become a valuable positive energy within the company, inspiring everyone to work towards a common goal in their own responsibilities.
Afterwards, the sound of the two people talking in a relaxed and happy manner can often be heard in the office. Others may not know what happened in between, but for Li Xiaodong and Wang Xiaoli, they both know in their hearts that this is a friendship deepened by trust and integrity. For Li Xiaodong himself, this is not only a spiritual growth, but also a positive reflection and understanding of the concept of work and life.
