chapter 3 The world's stupidest performance art

"I'm sorry, please give way! I'm in a hurry, let me go up first! Please, I'm sorry!"

The subway slowly left the platform in the morning mist that blocked the sky. As it passed a row of exquisite bungalows and factories with white smoke rising, Callum Zhen's mind was in a daze for a moment. He looked out the window in confusion. It felt as if his soul was heading to another track as crazily as this train.

In order to cover up the fact that he was already a quarter of an hour late, Callum Zhen randomly thrust his briefcase into his best friend Zhou Jesus Zhou sitting at the window as usual. He randomly dug out a coffee cup from the trash can at the door of the big office. When meeting his colleagues, he pretended to be elegant and relaxed, but he also took several sips of cold water on himself.

"s!"

At the moment when Jesus Zhou Mingyao was tiptoeing and carrying Callum Zhen's briefcase, he was about to meet up with his best friend. Supervisor Jacob Sheng slightly sarcastic questioning completely defeated Callum Zhen seemingly seamless plan.

"Stand there, don't act rashly! And you, Jesus Zhou, raise the briefcase in your hands!"

Jacob Sheng's words caused a reflux effect in Callum Zhen's esophagus. The glass of cold water that should have entered the stomach smoothly poured into his throat instantly. If he hadn't been strict with his words, he would have sprayed it hard on the supervisor's face.

"Tell me what time you arrived at the work? Did you go outside and buy a cup of coffee when you got there and got bored? Or did you use the coffee to cover up the fact that you were a quarter of an hour late?"

After Jacob Sheng scrawled a line of words on the white paper, he aimed the pen tip at Callum Zhen's nose and turned it around and around.

"In charge of me..."

Jacob Sheng is a man who pays attention to efficiency and strategy. Callum Zhen, who was already frightened, could not grasp the main idea of ​​the paragraph at once, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to test his theme.

"Don't understand? I just want to know which of the two scripts you just acted according to? Ha, only if I get a positive answer can I enter the plot as soon as possible." As soon as he finished speaking, Jacob Sheng showed a smile that was determined to win.

"The second one." It was no better than Jesus Zhou, who was trembling with shock, because Callum Zhen was so nervous that he almost died.

"Then your actual situation should be completely consistent with Plan B, right?" Jacob Sheng continued to wait for the opportunity.

"Originally, I wanted to be a good colleague like Jesus Zhou and make a guest appearance in your script. But your computer has no trace of being started. The unit's system page was not opened when I arrived at work. You know what this means. What are you looking for?" Just like eyeing a big fish among many customers, Jacob Sheng has not been so excited for a long time.

"I'm sorry, it was me who held the team back. It will be counted as being 20 minutes late. I am obliged to work overtime for 20 minutes in the evening. Oh no! It's half an hour, okay?"Callum Zhen asked directly with a straightforward and humble attitude. .

"I really can't cry without seeing the coffin! Callum Zhen! How do I interpret the smell of sweat on your body? And you, Jesus Zhou, are you pretending to be invisible with your head hanging down? This shouldn't be the first time for you either. Cover him, right? If you don’t call me truthfully, you will pay the fine with Callum Zhen today!"

Even if Callum Zhen could tacitly guess Jacob Sheng's thoughts, he would never know that there was a fraud involved!

"Director Shen! I was the one who was late, and I was the one who forced Jesus Zhou to hand me the briefcase, so please can you punish me alone." Callum Zhen swallowed hard, and then remained sensible and calm. A humble attitude.

"Well, according to our company's rules and regulations, one point will be deducted by the HR department for being late. One point will be deducted for a crooked person like you. In addition, in extreme cases where you contradict your boss for no reason and have a bad attitude, your boss has the right to continue One point will be deducted. How many red tickets are there for one point? As an old employee, you shouldn’t need me to waste any more words!"

The bewildered and exaggerated expressions of the colleagues around him converged into a bright light that stung the eyes and shot straight into the center of Callum Zhen pupils. As the protagonist of this tragedy, Callum Zhen raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and assumed a pretentious and unrestrained posture.

"Why don't you accept it?" Jacob Sheng pursed his lips and looked at him, as if he imagined himself as a proud knight.

"No."

"Of course not. When the boss has all the evidence, the subordinates cannot make excuses! Otherwise, I will deduct one point for your next sentence. As long as you deduct ten points, just carry your luggage and turn around!" Jacob Sheng simply straightened his body and cleared the air. After uttering his throat, he was eager to give the next round of educational lectures to the cowardly guy in front of him.

"Good morning to all colleagues here!" Just as Callum Zhen and Jacob Sheng were both in a state of indignation, the door of the big office was gently pushed open. The next second, everyone was like pages of a book blown by the wind. Turning around, I saw Kyson Cui, the branch manager who had always been taciturn and unsmiling, with a rare bright smile finally blooming on his face.

"Jacob Sheng, you have been a supervisor for a long time. Why is the atmosphere in the office still so messy? No wonder I haven't improved my performance this month. Why didn't I read the painting of harmony and wealth that I personally wrote and sent? Understand?!"

Jacob Sheng, who had been bossing around just now, quickly frowned and poured Kyson Cui a glass of warm water respectfully. Seeing how busy he was, he almost had to use his own mouth to measure the temperature.

"And you, my clan-level employee (the most senior employee), what's wrong with your boss so early in the morning?"

Callum Zhen changed from his previous aggressive state, turned his head away in fear, and leaned his heels tightly against the wall.

"I get so angry when I mention Callum Zhen. President, do you remember what I told you before? He is the late record holder!"

Jacob Sheng once again sent a low-pitched warning to Callum Zhen. From his mouth that was about to move, Kyson Cui could almost see the remains of the cold face remaining between his teeth.

"I still have to say a few more words about you! Jacob Sheng, have you never been a boss in eight lifetimes? Even if you want to establish your prestige, you can't be so harsh early in the morning! Before the promotion candidate is finalized, my impression of you will remain In your role as a warm man who pursues perfect ideas! Now, the warm man has become a boss, and the pursuit of perfection has become too picky, right?"

Jacob Sheng's pupils dilated instantly, and he looked at the branch manager with a surprised look on his face full of hostility and ridicule. Behind Kyson Cui, two other group supervisors seemed to be whispering maliciously. And in the next moment, the atmosphere in the office seemed to have experienced a change of dynasties. Even Little A, who had always been submissive, began to cast rude looks at him.

"President, I..." This time, Jacob Sheng had a bitter look on his face and leaned his heels tightly against the wall. Although he knew that this look was embarrassing, facing an overstepping situation that was even more terrifying than an unexpected situation He had no choice but to obey his boss's rebuke respectfully.

Kyson Cui put his index finger on his mouth, signaling him not to make any sound.

It wasn't just the teeth that were chattering, but Jacob Sheng's entire body was twisted as if he was about to crawl into the wall.

"Don't be so formal, it's just a small talk! Because we are colleagues and we are handling the same official matter together, I feel itchy! Could it be that you let me chat with you about family issues in front of everyone!"Kyson Cui brushed Shin Jacob Sheng He then stretched out his hands and put them on the shoulders of Jacob Sheng and Callum Zhen, facing everyone specifically.

"I've been particularly interested in reading human ethics philosophy recently, and there's a saying that I think is especially applicable in our work and life. People have to have some flaws to show their humanity! Otherwise, what's the difference between them and wood! So Zhenghuan, you can't Be harmonious, but you must not be ignorant of tolerance. Otherwise, you will become a depressed person like the supervisor who was just fired."

Jesus Zhou had been carefully observing the duel between the three men. After listening to Kyson Cui's words, he nodded as if he was deeply moved.

Kyson Cui moved his eyes to see through Jacob Sheng, cleared his throat, looked at Callum Zhen with a kind face, slowly dragged him closer to his ear, and said in a voice that was difficult for ordinary people to hear.

"Although I have been criticizing him just now, it does not mean that you are not wrong at all."

Callum Zhen's hands were shaking uncontrollably in his sleeves, but his face still showed an expression of urgency that he didn't know when to wait.

"That president, I am so ashamed of you. But in terms of performance, I am confident that I can..."

"Pass!"Kyson Cui said forcefully.

"I'm talking about clan members. I wonder if you have the habit of reading books on traditional culture. There is a saying that says you are not deaf or blind and you are not a rich man. The general meaning when used today is that when I am not around, you can do whatever you want, but as long as Stand in front of me, no matter you are a manager, supervisor or an ordinary employee, please stop doing this." Kyson Cui raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him steadily, and blocked Callum Zhen's loyalty with some words.

The sky, which was bright and bright just a moment ago, turned out to be so dark and gloomy at this moment. Callum Zhen had a calm look on his face, but from the bottom of his heart, he could not suppress the uneasiness that was rising like a cloud.

"Okay! Callum, don't worry too much, but you can't help it. You can still understand the meaning of the words "enough is enough!" I saw through the fact that you and them are not the same people three years ago. Although everyone is wrong, when I think of their virtues of coveting promotion and money, I know which end to pick first no matter how angry I am."

Callum Zhen, who had been looking down at his toes, raised his face. The look in Kyson Cui eyes that stood in front of him was unpredictable.

"Remember what I said, if you want to survive in the vast jungle, the first thing you have to do is to be more low-key than anyone around you and don't let your opponents notice you. Then, there is a word of urgency hidden in the stability, quietness There is a word of competition hidden in it. Before you have absolutely overwhelming strength, you must be light-hearted and gentle! Although a competitive person can easily win the favor of his boss, the more such a person is, the more impatient he will be. Otherwise How can there be a saying that the first shot is the first? However, a peace-loving and transparent person will not be disliked wherever he goes!"

Callum Zhen Kyson Cui 's explosive connotations, but he still pretended to be very speculative and shook hands with Kyson Cui in a daze in front of everyone.

"Hey, Team Leader Khalil Pan? Has the PPT for our afternoon meeting been revised? Not yet? Oh! It doesn't matter. I have a very clear idea about the points I emphasized to you last night. Why don't I just go to you now? Bian, I said you can just record it!"

In front of Kyson Cui, Jacob Sheng gradually showed an unsuspecting smile on the phone. To Jesus Zhou and Callum Zhen, who had had enough of high temperature and high pressure treatment, this seemed like a dream.

Looking at Callum Zhen from the side, his hair shines like black jade, the skin on his cheeks and swan neck is as delicate as porcelain, a vague smile moves between his thin lips, and a pair of black and white pupils There seemed to be a hazy white mist shrouding his eyes, and the man was as handsome as a prince in a fairy tale. This moment would be so shocking to anyone.

"By the way, Callum. Can you accompany me to the golf course after work tonight?"

Just when Callum Zhen completely moved his eyes to Jacob Sheng, a low but loud voice came from his ears.

"President Cui, do you really think so? I am so willing. You are the person I admire most in the whole branch. It's a great honor, haha, a great honor..."Callum Zhen suppressed a smile, but there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. I am already happy.

Kyson Cui gently patted Callum Zhen's arm.

"But, Callum, why are you so wet?"

Callum Zhen lowered his head in embarrassment and covered his face with his bag. After Kyson Cui looked at it inexplicably for a moment, he used the corner of his eye to cast a final sidelong glance at Jesus Zhou, who was standing aside and laughing non-stop.
