Chapter 192: First Step into the Workplace
After the National Day, Ruyi’s company has notified the specific time of the internship assessment, and the three friends who originally had a good relationship suddenly switched roles.
Among the three, Xiaoya has always been the most sober. After receiving the assessment notice, she was the first to draw a clear line between herself and Ruyi and Kang Kang.
Apart from a greeting when we meet every day, I don't communicate with each other during work hours, and most of the time I rest alone at my workstation during lunch break.
Ruyi certainly also hopes that she can stay, but she and Kang Kang both seem to be more reserved about social conventions.
Every day was still the same as usual, we would eat together during lunch break, but the topics of conversation had obviously become a little more awkward.
In the company where Ruyi is doing her internship, it is customary to have a private discussion some time before the assessment. The leader will have a one-on-one conversation and communication with the intern to get a preliminary understanding of the employee's internship situation.
Ruyi was the first person to be interviewed by the financial manager. Although Ruyi already had some work experience and had not made any obvious mistakes during her internship, she was still visibly nervous when she entered the meeting room.
The meeting room is not big and is usually used as a waiting area for visiting guests. There is a small table in the middle of the room and two single sofas by the window.
Perhaps the manager did not want to create a too tense atmosphere, so he did not sit at the conference table in the middle, but sat on the sofa by the window.
After seeing Ruyi come in, the financial manager smiled gently and motioned Ruyi to sit on another sofa next to him.
Ruyi sat stiffly on the sofa and answered several professional questions from the financial manager.
Fortunately, the questions he asked were not very difficult, and Ruyi answered them all fluently.
The financial manager nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Zhong has been performing very well. He is very professional and hardworking. Do you want to stay in the company and become a full-time employee?"
Ruyi smiled and nodded. While she was still wondering why the financial manager asked such a nonsense question, the financial manager suddenly reached out and patted Ruyi's thigh.
"Not bad, not bad. Young people should have their own ideas. Xiao Zhong is a smart man. If he wants to stay, he must continue to work hard."
Ruyi's back tensed instantly because the financial manager's hand didn't seem to have any intention of taking it away from her leg.
As a young girl who had just graduated from school, Ruyi had never experienced such a thing. She was completely confused at the time. She didn't know what to do or how to react correctly.
For about a minute, Ruyi sat stiffly on the sofa, her mind racing and she dared not move. The financial manager's hand remained on Ruyi's thigh and she never took it away.
It was not until the sound of high heels was heard in the corridor that the financial manager smiled, moved his hand away, and picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table.
"I'm going to go out to work first."
Ruyi stood up and walked quickly to the door of the meeting room. Then she said something nervously to the financial manager and quickly ran away.
Although Zhong Ruyi has never been a well-behaved child since she was young, encountering such a thing when she first entered the workplace was still a huge shock to her.
Being naughty as a child does not mean that one will become tough when he grows up. On the contrary, the older people get, the more they understand how to weigh the pros and cons and be careful in what they say and do.
For Ruyi, firstly, no one saw the financial manager's actions, and secondly, he just put his hand on Ruyi's leg without any other actions.
So Ruyi knew very well that the financial manager's behavior did not constitute anything at all, so she naturally did not dare to tell anyone about it. However, she was absent-minded during work that day.
That night, Ruyi used the excuse of being too tired and did not meet Xiao Huya. When she returned home, Darong and Zhong Yunxing were not at home.
After selling the excavator, Zhong Yunxing bought an old Xiali and drove a taxi around the southern suburbs every day. It was the kind of taxi that was later defined as a "black taxi". He left early and came back late every day, and he made a lot of money.
Ruyi was in a bad mood, so she stayed in her little room after returning home and did not call Darong. It was not until Darong called that Ruyi learned that her grandfather was hospitalized again due to cerebral infarction.
When Ruyi rushed to the hospital, Mr. Zhong was still in the intensive care unit.
"Mom, how is my grandpa?" Ruyi walked up to Darong and asked about Mr. Zhong's condition.
"The doctor said the blockage was quite large. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and my life is not in danger now. However, my mobility may be affected in the future and I need someone to take care of me."
After Darong briefly described Mr. Zhong's condition to Ruyi, the whole family stood silently against the wall in the hospital corridor.
Because of Mr. Zhong's sudden hospitalization, Darong and Zhong Yunxing also became busy. Although Mother Zhong has always been the main caregiver in the hospital, several children also took turns to be on duty and go to the hospital to take care of Mr. Zhong.
As daughters-in-law, Darong and Wenying also followed Zhong Yunxing and Zhong Yunsheng silently and took on the responsibility of taking care of Zhong's father.
The only sober person in the world, Wu Meifeng, always believes that taking care of Mr. Zhong is his own responsibility as a child and has never shown up.
And no one in the family tacitly asked about her. Maybe Zhong Yunhong was too embarrassed to save face, so he could only make an excuse that she was not in good health and didn't want to say anything more.
Ever since Ruyi had the interview with the financial manager, her attitude towards work has become noticeably more slack.
As the cost manager, Accountant Liu had always been supportive of Ruyi, but after seeing her recent state, he criticized her several times.
"Xiao Zhong, you can even make mistakes in counting such a simple material inspection. Do you still want to do this?" Accountant Liu threw Ruyi's inspection report directly on her desk.
Ruyi quickly picked up the report from the table and read it through, but damn it, she couldn't find anything wrong.
People who make mistakes tend to be nervous, and Zhong Ruyi, who couldn't find where he went wrong, seemed even more flustered.
"Here!" Accountant Liu looked at Ruyi's expression and knocked on the wrong spot unhappily.
"You graduated from the School of Finance. What does missing a zero mean? What did your teacher teach you..."
Accountant Liu seemed to be getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he started to scold Ruyi.
Ruyi was indeed panicked. She knew very well what a zero in the amount of materials meant in the process of calculating the amount.
Such a low-level mistake left Ruyi with no room for explanation. She could only lower her head and let Accountant Liu keep talking to her.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. Do you have to make a fuss so loud that other departments can hear it?"
After hearing the noise outside, the financial manager came out of his office to rescue Ruyi.
Ruyi didn't know how to describe the look Accountant Liu gave the manager at that time, but the contemptuous snort she gave when she turned around was still fresh in her memory.
"Xiao Zhong, come to my office." After saying this, the financial manager turned around and went back to his office.
