"What? Suicide?"
On Monday night, Azu came home from get off work and lay down on the sofa at Kang's house. Everyone asked him what he was doing so tired. He told everyone what happened in the office today. When he mentioned that his former boss and current subordinate, Miss Tang, committed suicide in the office, everyone was shocked.
Second sister-in-law: "Did she let out blood?"
Xianglan: "Did you take sleeping pills?"
Big Brother Guang: "Is it gas?"
Everyone was speculating on how Miss Tang committed suicide. Azu sat up and said, "Everyone is so gossipy. She took a bottle of active calcium and we thought it was just a sleeping pill."
"Tch! Go to hell. You." The second sister-in-law felt that she had been fooled and was unhappy.
"Why do you talk like this?" Mom said to the second sister-in-law, and then turned to Azu and said: "Let me tell you, Azu, if the old aunt really commits suicide, you... The general manager won’t have an easy time either. You really have to deal with this matter seriously.”
Azu nodded and said thoughtfully: “Mom, I’m wondering if her taking active calcium is a hint. What?"
"I think this matter is really not that simple." Mom thought for a while and guessed: "It was also broadcast on TV that suicide is contagious. Has a friend committed suicide recently? ”
Although mental illness is not contagious, there is substantial evidence that suicide is. Research shows that suicide "bursts" and "clusters" are real phenomena. One suicide is likely to trigger more suicides. And due to the powerful communication power of the news media, the impact of celebrity suicide on others is more obvious.
Marilyn Monroe's death in 1962 was listed as a "possible" suicide. In the months that followed, widespread news coverage intensified the sadness, and the suicide rate in the United States increased by 12% compared with the same month the previous year. This situation is called the contagion effect of suicide, also known as the "Werther effect", which is a suicide imitation phenomenon.
“I’m not sure whether she had a friend who committed suicide, but there is information on Leslie Cheung’s suicide by jumping off a building on her desk.” Azu recalled. The second sister-in-law slapped her thigh as if she already knew the truth of the matter, and said excitedly: "That's it. Maybe Leslie Cheung's depression was transmitted to her. This matter is big or small. She can't stand the excitement now, for example Talking about demotion and salary reduction. You can just buy a wreath."
"Isn't it?" Azu also became a little scared and muttered: "No, this problem has to be solved. She needs to solve it.”
The solution Azu came up with was to mobilize all colleagues in the company to introduce boyfriends to Miss Tang and ask everyone to marry Miss Tang within 10 days. When Miss Tang found out, she felt that she had been greatly insulted, and ran directly to Kang's house to find Mrs. Dou, crying and complaining about Azu.
"I don't expect this bad guy to be incoherent once he succeeds. But he can't trample on the local mud." After Ms. Tang accused Azu of what he did in the company, she said, "Uncle Kang Can you help me persuade Kang Qizu not to be the general manager?"
"Is that so?" Although Lao Dou disagreed with Azu's behavior, he asked him not to be the general manager. It was absolutely impossible for him to agree to become the general manager, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I am not an old man who can decide your company's affairs, but don't worry, I will definitely criticize Azu when he comes back."
Miss Tang left the Kang family angrily when she saw that she couldn't get an accurate word from Lao Dou. I submitted my resignation letter to Azu the next day, and Azu immediately signed and approved it without hesitation. In his own words, he has never written so smoothly before.
"Azu, when will Miss Tang leave?" Xianglan asked.
“I won’t leave so quickly because she wants me to write a letter of recommendation for her so that she can get a job later.” Azu was stunned, and the villain was frustrated and said: “Now she is in my hands. , I wrote about her until she was in bad shape, I asked her to find a job, I made her arrogant"
The more Kang Qirui listened, the more he frowned. He felt there was no need to be so stiff. He knew Azu's temperament. After thinking for a while, he said: "You also said that you are extremely smart. What reason is there for doing this? Don't you want her to leave early?"
"Of course. "Azu nodded.
"Think about it, you wrote her so poorly, what if she can't find a job and she doesn't leave? She will stick to you like a dog-skin plaster for the rest of her life." Kang Qirui said deliberately.
"According to you, I should have written her better?" Azu asked doubtfully.
"Of course, write as good as you want, and brag as well as you can even if it's not that good. In short, find a new job as long as it's helpful for her, so that she can leave as soon as possible." In persuasion. Kang Qirui is a professional when it comes to Azu changing his mind.
A Zu was indeed moved, "Gao, he is really tall." He didn't even eat, picked up his briefcase and ran back to the room to write a letter of recommendation. "Ms. Tang Guomin used to work in our company. She made money in life, was diligent and courageous, and acted bravely. She dared to take the lead in the face of difficulties. She worked conscientiously in her work and never fought for fame or gain. She always gave up opportunities for promotion to Others do more work but get less money. In short, she is a rare mainstay of the company." Azu read it in front of Miss Tang and stamped it with the company's seal before handing the recommendation letter to Miss Tang.
"Thank you, Manager Kang." Seeing that Azu had written her a letter of recommendation full of praise, Miss Tang did not confront Azu any more. Once he called Azu his manager.
At this time, Azu also had many memories flooding into his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He thought for a while and said, "You're going for an interview later, right? How about I go with you."
"Huh?" Miss Tang was stunned for a moment, then declined: "No need. ? With your letter of recommendation, I am very confident.”
"Ms. Tang, you really don't know something. Your current boss cares about your previous background. If I talk to him as your former boss, praise you a lot, and guarantee that you can join the job immediately, that's it. It saves you from looking for a job every day." Azu said this sincerely. Although he didn't want Miss Tang to stay in the company, he had been working with her for many years and he very much hoped that Miss Tang could find a good job.
Miss Tang was also moved by Azu's sincere words, "Manager Kang, I really didn't expect you to be so busy and still rush about my affairs. I have done something wrong before, so don't take it to heart. ”
The two of them seemed to be laughing away their grudges, but the subsequent interview did not go as smoothly as expected. They interviewed several foreign-funded companies but failed. Others' reasons for rejection were very direct. "Why would you approve such an excellent employee's resignation when she has no shortcomings at all?" Azu was speechless and couldn't answer at all.
"Mr. Kang Qizu, this time I am really hurt by your letter of recommendation. Every one of those foreign-funded companies I see is failing." Miss Tang said with a speechless face.
"That's because they are short-sighted. They won't appreciate such a big pearl like yours in front of them." Azu didn't admit that it was an issue with his recommendation letter, so he could only talk about it.
"It's not like you've never accompanied me to interviews. You've accompanied me to three companies. Each company asked why you didn't want such a good employee. Did you answer correctly?" Miss Tang glared at Azu and complained. .
"I find that you are really smart on the surface but confused on the inside. Since you find that there is something wrong with this letter of recommendation, just don't show this letter of recommendation to others." Azu continued to be tough.
Miss Tang looked at Azu like a fool and said with a sneer: "Kang Sheng, is this your first time working in a foreign company? Which foreign company doesn't read letters of recommendation? You tell me and I'll listen."< br>
"Um" Azu frowned, changed his mind and said, "Actually, there is no need to have a foreign company. The situation in our country is great and there are many good companies waiting for you, right?"
“You don’t need to say anything.” Miss Tang had her own persistence. She slapped the table and said, “I swore ten years ago that I would never go to a non-foreign company.”
"Then I really can't help you with this. You have also seen that I have done my best. It is said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. Is there any boss who will accompany a resigned employee to apply for a job?" Azu also It's very aggrieved, he really means well.
After listening to this, Miss Tang thought for a long time and then said, "I have decided to give this letter to you now." She picked up the letter of recommendation and handed it to Azu, "I formally recommend to you The company is applying for a job."
"Huh?" Azu was stunned, and then said, "But you may not meet our company's requirements."
"Mr. Kang Qizu, what did you just say? I put such a big pearl in front of you, you can't be blind, right?" Miss Tang used Azu's words just now to deal with him.
“But what about your work ability?” Azu said.
Miss Tang pointed to the content of the recommendation letter and interrupted him: "I am the mainstay of your company, and my work ability must be no problem."
"But what about your work attitude." Azu also said Want to continue struggling.
"I have always neither strived for fame nor profit. I did more and got less money." Miss Tang continued to respond to Azu with the evaluation in the recommendation letter, "Mr. Kang Qizu, this is the evaluation you wrote for me. You shouldn’t admit it, right?”
Azu took the letter of recommendation from Miss Tang with a speechless expression, “Yes, it was written by me, so what do you want?”
“There’s no reason why you don’t want me to be such a good employee, right?” Ms. Tang also thought clearly just now that it is really difficult to find a job at her age and in the current situation, so she is currently focused on coming back to work. "Okay, I decided to sit back at my original desk. I just looked at it and it's still the same as before." (End of Chapter)
