By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 25 He lived his life as a symbol

However, although……

Zhu Qingyue will still share her secrets with Gan Tian without reservation.

But at this moment, Gan Tian on the plane shouted: "You're crazy, you must be crazy! You said it yourself, that guy has an ex-girlfriend."

Zhu Qingyue had anticipated Gan Tian's reaction. She said seriously, "First of all, I'm just very curious about him right now, not to the extent you understand."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Secondly, I still have my first love, but I don't care if my boyfriend is my first love or not. What I care about is him as a person. If he's good enough, even if he's had previous relationships, his exes are just cannon fodder. Cannon fodder, you understand? Cannon fodder is just there to highlight me."

Gan Tian stared blankly at Zhu Qingyue. She knew very well that her best friend, though seemingly gentle and easygoing, was a very proud person at heart.

Gan Tian shook her head repeatedly and muttered, "You're simply insane. The cannon fodder I understand is ash that has been bombarded by artillery fire. Why don't you pay attention to whose artillery fire it was?"

Zhu Qingyue pretended not to hear Gan Tian's witty and unserious remarks, and said, "When I go back this time, I will convince my parents to officially start a long-term trip. I have earned some savings from writing novels in the past two years, enough for me to keep going for a while and wander the world. Besides, I can write novels, so I can write them no matter where I am and earn money to support myself."

Gan Tian asked with a long face, "What about me?"

Zhu Qingyue paused for a moment. She knew that Gan Tian could never let go of everything like she did. For Gan Tian, ​​travel could only be a spice in her life, not life itself.

Zhu Qingyue didn't answer Gan Tian; it was really hard to answer, since they had been good friends since kindergarten.

Seeing Zhu Qingyue's expression, Gan Tian knew she couldn't persuade him no matter what. All she could do was keep repeating things like "You're crazy."

……

It's a sunny day today.

Lin'an City.

For Chenke Group, a Fortune 500 multinational corporation, being promoted to manager is something that makes people happy for a month.

All eyes were on General Manager Shi Xiaolin. This quarter, their department had performed exceptionally well, securing two major projects from state-owned enterprises.

As a key contributor to one of the victories, Zhang Jun is undoubtedly the most likely candidate to become the new manager. In fact, Zhang Jun had already celebrated with champagne the night before.

He felt that no one could openly take this position away, as everyone knew that Chenke was a very pragmatic and fair company.

Everyone was waiting for Shi Xiaolin to announce the results.

Today, Zhang Jun specially changed into a brand-new white shirt and wore an expensive Hermes belt with his trousers, which he had bought with his savings of several months. After being promoted to supervisor, his salary would be four times what it is now, so indulging in a little luxury now and then would be within his acceptable range.

He looked forward to it with enjoyment, not in a hurry at all. After all, what's the rush when something is certain?
He figured no salesperson could possibly take the manager's position. He also remembered that just yesterday, the girl he'd been pursuing for so long had finally shown some signs of relenting. Zhang Jun knew that as long as he waited for Shi Xiaolin's official announcement and then asked the girl out that evening, she would definitely agree.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned towards them, intentionally or unintentionally. Some were envious, some felt it was the expected outcome, and a few even harbored jealousy.

Zhang Jun simply accepted the gazes with equanimity.

Shi Xiaolin finally got to the point, saying, "The headquarters has a high level of recognition for us on this project, which is the result of the joint efforts of the entire company. The headquarters has specially created a new supervisor position for us."

Everyone in the department remained silent. By this point, what Shi Xiaolin had announced had already spread and was no secret.

After a pause, Shi Xiaolin continued, "Now, let's have the new supervisor come in and say a few words to everyone." The air grew even quieter; no one had yet realized what was happening.

The door was open, air began to circulate, and Zhang Jun froze.

What does "invite the new manager to come in and say a few words" mean? Shouldn't it be "invite the new manager to stand up and say a few words" in this situation?

He sat in the best seat today, his back ramrod straight, and he even polished his shoes, all so that he could stand up and speak to everyone. He had even rehearsed his speech 800 times in his head.

He became furious, but he restrained himself, wanting to see who this newly appointed supervisor from Chenke was.

Then, a man walked in from outside. He was dashing and imposing. He walked in with his head down, his bangs covering his eyes.

“Huang Xiaoyang is from the technical department.” He raised his head, his gaze captivating.

This time, everyone was petrified.

Zhang Jun's previously restless heart plummeted to freezing point the moment he saw Huang Xiaoyang.

For Chenke, the name Huang Xiaoyang is certainly not unfamiliar. There isn't a single Chenke employee who has been with the company for more than a month who hasn't heard of him.

But for most people, they've only heard his name, seen him but can't remember what he looks like. This is partly because people in the technical department rarely appear in social situations, and partly because Huang Xiaoyang has become a symbol himself.

At the project conference, he spoke on behalf of the new generation of technical engineers; at the employee sports meet, he was the core guard for the Greater China region, his three-pointers piercing the hearts of other regional teams; at the company's annual meeting, many people saw him playing the violin from afar, his slender figure almost embedded in the light and shadow.

It is said that Huang Xiaoyang, such a talented person, had already been shining brightly for a long time during his university years.

If someone else had taken that supervisory position, Zhang Jun could have objected and appealed to a higher-level department. Given Chenke's reputation for fairness, this wouldn't have been difficult.

However, if the person was Huang Xiaoyang, Zhang Jun wouldn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.

From the sales department's perspective, he might be the absolute hero of these two projects. But within the context of the entire group, his contribution seems insignificant.

Everyone knows that the core reason they won those two projects was the group of top talents in the technical department. They spent three days revising a solution that other companies couldn't finish in a month, and ultimately won the bid.

And the best among them is none other than Huang Xiaoyang, who is standing right in front of us.

The only problem is... how did he, a tech guy, end up in a sales position?
Huang Xiaoyang's gaze swept across everyone's faces before he calmly said, "From now on, we'll all be colleagues."

There was no lengthy speech, nor any deliberate attempt to connect with the audience; he remained a symbol, greeting them from afar.

After the brief meeting, Huang Xiaoyang did not linger in the office.

When he came out of the office building, he looked at his watch and realized that it would be lunchtime in half an hour.

He took out his phone and made a call to someone.

The name displayed on the phone screen is Li Younan.
