Working Prophet

The ringtone of his cell phone woke Li Yu up from his half-asleep state, reminding him that he was about to arrive at the station.

Li Yu took off his headphones, stood up early, walked to the middle door and stood up.

Because the departure interval of the night bus is relatively long, you have to wait for a long time if you miss one. Therefore, the drivers are all better at controlling time, and the stopping error between stations will basically not exceed one and a half minutes.

As the female voice announced "The vehicle is entering the station, please sit tight and hold it tight...please be careful when opening the door, please bring your luggage..." sounded again, and No. 6 stopped in front of the lonely bus stop.

Li Yu got off the car and walked straight ahead through two intersections, then crossed an overpass and a row of low walls with the slogan "Salute to the most beautiful strivers" and returned to the rental community.

This community called Jinhe Garden is a relocation house. The building is relatively new. It has elevators in the garden and is not far from the subway station, so it attracts many tenants.

Li Yu shared a small two-bedroom apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, about 70 square meters. Li Yu was in the master bedroom, and a programmer named Wang Guowei lived in the second bedroom.

Li Yu arrived home at 0:39, and the house was dark.

This is not because Wang Guowei has gone to bed. In fact, that guy is also an out-and-out night owl. Due to his youth, he often gets off work at 11 or 12 o'clock, plays games until one or two in the morning, and then shows up with a pair of panda eyes the next day. Get up early and go to work.

But tonight his door was closed, and there was no movement inside.

Li Yu glanced at the shoe rack and knew that he was the first of the two to arrive home tonight.

Turning on the chandelier in the living room, put on his slippers, and threw his backpack on the second-hand IKEA sofa that Xianyu found. Li Yu sat down at the dining table, picked up the disposable chopsticks, and began to eat the cold fried noodles alone. .

And he had just taken two bites and the phone in front of him vibrated again.

Li Yu glanced at the screen and found that the department leader was @him in the work group, saying that he had made suggestions for modifications to the three versions of the plan that he had submitted before.

Li Yu replied with a received message.

After finishing the fried noodles, I turned on the computer again, downloaded the ppt I had made previously from the cloud disk, spent twenty minutes completing the modifications, and then sent the work email again.

This time there was no response from the department leader, probably because he had fallen asleep.

Li Yu turned off the computer, washed briefly, and lay down on the bed.

It was obvious that his body and brain were very tired, but for some reason he still couldn't fall asleep.

After lying down for a while, Li Yu turned on his phone and found a podcast explaining European history as a hypnotic reading. After listening to it for more than half an hour, he finally fell asleep.

…………

It was already half a month later that I received the interview call from Third Century.

Li Yu even forgot about it.

Although the economic situation was not very good during this period, his career resume was very good. Even though he graduated from an ordinary school instead of 985 or 211, he still got offers from several companies.

The original company has also filed for resignation and has now entered into the handover process.

This is also the most relaxing time since he joined the company.

There is no need to work unpaid overtime until late at night every day, and there is no need to deal with complex workplace relationships and pay for customers' sudden whims.

Li Yu now clocks in and clocks in on time, never arrives late or leaves early, never stays in the office for more than a minute, cooperates with all reasonable requirements of human resources, and hands over the work at hand to his successor.

Although the department has serious overtime, Li Yu heard that in order to control costs, the company did not plan to recruit new people after his resignation, but would only distribute the work he was responsible for to other colleagues.

After the news came out, mourning flooded the land, but this had nothing to do with Li Yu.

Because Li Yu usually has good work efficiency and often works overtime without any complaints, several leaders in the department are generally satisfied with him. When they heard that he was resigning, they even tried to retain him.

I have had several rounds of talks with him. In addition, I have indeed spent a lot of money on promotions and salary increases. There are also semi-finished words such as "the company was training and inspecting him before, and he will be of great use in the future." The pie is half-true and half-false, but it is still a little behind compared to the several offers Li Yu has on hand.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yu has decided to leave.

After realizing this, the company no longer forced it. The top leaders came forward and invited everyone in the department to have a farewell banquet at the nearby South Beauty.

During the dinner, the guests and the host had a great time. The big boss also changed his past aggressive and domineering style in the company and became warmer. He even had a drink with Li Yu with tea instead of wine. He talked about his hard work and all his hard work. I asked Li Yu to change his plan in the middle of the night some time ago, and I hope he won't take it to heart.

Li Yu expressed his understanding. In the final analysis, everyone from ordinary employees to company management such as senior leaders has KPI pressure on their shoulders.

Putting aside some of the problems with character, most people can still treat things right and people wrong in the workplace.

Even if we really don't agree with each other in the end, we should laugh at each other and let go of grudges. After all, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies. There is a long way to go, and there may not be a day when we meet again in the future.

However, understanding is understanding, which does not mean that Li Yu can agree with this kind of behavior.

After dinner, Li Yu went to the administration to return his work badge and other office supplies belonging to the company. He logged out of the OA and company email, exited the work group, and received a resignation certificate with an official seal.

And this also means that he has finally completed the complete resignation process.

Li Yu said goodbye to several familiar colleagues again, took one last look at his empty workstation, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the company door without looking back.

The sunlight outside the building was a bit dazzling. Li Yu stood there for about half a minute, still not used to the days without deadlines.

It was as if someone had taken away the small hourglass above his head that had been keeping time.

Li Yu looked at his phone. It was only half past two in the afternoon. His original plan was to find a place to relax after resigning.

When he was working crazy overtime before, he always hoped to have a vacation to take a breather, but when the vacation really came, he became confused again and didn't know what to do.

Looking for a place to have a drink? Or stay at home and watch the entire show in one go? Play games that have been stored on your hard drive for a long time, or find a hill to climb...

However, no matter what kind of relaxation method, it is essentially a safe haven. Through alcohol, artistic creation, and beautiful scenery, people can temporarily escape the troubles of the real world.

However, Li Yu found that this trick was becoming less and less effective for him, because he knew very well in his heart that any happiness was only temporary.

Unless there is a red pill like in The Matrix, when the vacation is over, you will eventually have to return to reality.

Thinking of this, it was even difficult for Li Yu to immerse himself in it as before.

Just at this time, he received another text message from the Third Age, reminding him not to forget the interview scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Li Yu couldn't find a way to relax, so he simply spent the remaining time preparing for the next interview.
