Zhao Hai's hometown is in an obscure small village in Anhui Province, and his family is poor. With the dream of changing the status quo and the infinite vision for the future, he embarked on the journey to Nanjing. In this strange city, Zhao Hai opened a new chapter in his life.
At first, Zhao Hai got a job as an accountant in a small and medium-sized enterprise.
Although the position may seem insignificant, he devotes himself to it and is full of enthusiasm to take care of the big and small affairs for his boss. Just to be able to put down roots in this city and realize your dreams.
However, after a long time, Zhao Hai found that his efforts did not seem to be valued by his boss. I can't help but feel a little annoyed and disappointed in my heart.
He complained to the old employees about this, and the advice he got was to take the initiative to get close to the boss and serve at any time.
Zhao Hai conscientiously comprehended the profound meaning of this suggestion. Since then, he has always kept an eye on his boss's every move and is always ready to help.
Even if it's a lunch, he will worry about the boss and make proper arrangements. Slowly, the boss began to treat him differently and treated him as his right-hand man.
With the boss's appreciation, Zhao Hai's younger brother quickly became a regular in the company, and his salary was much higher. Seeing that his family's life has finally changed, Zhao Hai is extremely relieved.
He thought that through unremitting efforts, he had finally found his place in the city.
However, the good times were short-lived. Due to various internal power struggles, the boss was eventually demoted and transferred.
Before leaving, the boss said to Zhao Hai, "I will come back, and I will need your help then." Zhao Hai is full of anticipation and is determined to prepare for the return of his boss.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Hai has been silently handling many preparations for the reinstatement of the boss. He meticulously completed all the preparations, from salary adjustment to interpersonal relationship building, so as not to miss the slightest omission.
The hard work paid off, and the boss finally returned to the company's top management with Zhao Hai's efforts.
This was supposed to be the time when Zhao Hai was rewarded heavily, but he was unexpectedly treated coldly by the boss and ruthlessly transferred to the marginal position of the warehouse.
Zhao Hai was extremely confused at the time, and questioned the boss's decision, but got an unforgettable reply: "You trust others too much, not everyone in the world is worthy of your trust." ”
In this way, Zhao Hai left the company in endless loss. But this experience taught him a lot of precious life philosophy, and he gradually grew from a simple rural youth to a mature and old professional.
After leaving that company, Zhao Hai moved to a new job as a department manager.
With the precipitation and lessons of the past, he has gradually improved in the new environment, and his work has also been impressive.
However, in the dead of night, that heartbreaking experience still comes back to him from time to time.
Zhao Hai began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong back then, and he had attracted such a poor treatment from his boss. After pondering for a long time, Zhao Hai finally found some reasons for this result.
First of all, in the workplace, no boss wants his employees to contribute more than himself, otherwise he will appear useless.
And Zhao Hai blindly wanted to be promoted through contribution, which was a wrong idea in itself.
Secondly, no boss wants these difficulties to be known to outsiders when they hit a low point.
However, Zhao Hai not only knew the boss's situation well, but also publicized his various contributions in the boss's most difficult period, which undoubtedly made the boss feel embarrassed.
Moreover, in Zhao Hai's view, he was out of kindness back then, hoping to help the boss get through the difficulties by going all out.
But in the eyes of the boss, this kind of behavior has exceeded the employee's duty, and even has a bit of a taste of self-righteousness.
In short, this experience taught Zhao Hai a heavy lesson. Since then, he has learned to keep a certain distance from his superiors, no longer blindly flattering and inviting credit, but winning the appreciation of his superiors through real work performance.
At the same time, he has also learned to navigate the complex interpersonal relationships in the workplace, and is no longer as simple and confused as before.
The cost was not small, but the experience gained was invaluable. It allowed Zhao Hai to truly grow from a rural youth to a veteran in the workplace, and knew how to survive and develop in this city.
Since then, Zhao Hai has gradually gotten rid of the simple and persistent style of the past, and has become more intelligent and urban.
Whether it is the response at work or the philosophy of life in life, he exudes a profound atmosphere that makes people awe-inspired.
Zhao Hai knows that a person's growth is by no means achieved overnight, and needs to be slowly precipitated in ordinary years.
Only by suffering losses and injuries can we continue to sublimate in the experience of life, and finally achieve our own brilliant and dazzling life.
This is the road that Zhao Hai has walked, ordinary but not mediocre. The transformation from a rural youth to a veteran in the workplace has witnessed the whole process of his growth in the big city.
With his rich experience, he finally became familiar with the unspoken rules of urban survival. He is no longer blind or naïve, but has learned to weigh carefully and maneuver through change.
It is this workplace wisdom that allows him to survive and succeed in a complex environment.
