Chapter 55 The warmth and warmth of human relationships
Chapter 55 The warmth and warmth of human relationships
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Sunlight shines in from the glass curtain wall on the west side.
Many colleagues made a cup of steaming hot coffee and started their daily slacking off.
The entire office area appears quiet and warm.
A new message suddenly arrived in the technical department’s work group.
[Director-Chen Yunteng: "@Backend Development-Tang Song, I officially resigned from the company today. Thank you for your hard work over the past few months."]
At first only a few people saw it.
Soon, the entire technical department office became noisy.
"Tang Song is resigning!?"
"What's going on? Didn't you just get hired as a full-time employee not long ago? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
"Tang Song, have you found a new employer?"
"Could it be that the company is raising funds and is going to target our technical department?"
"Layoffs? Don't scare me, my wife just lost her job!"
...
The news of Tang Song's resignation came so suddenly that there was no warning at all.
It instantly lit up this ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
Some people are concerned about his situation, some are afraid that it will affect them, and of course some people gloat over his misfortune.
At this moment, the director Chen Yunteng, who had thinning hair, walked out of the office.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths and stared at their computer screens.
Chen Yunteng glanced in the direction of Tang Song and said calmly, "Chaoyang, you should hand over your work to Tang Song first. After the May Day holiday, a new colleague will join the company. You can hand over the project to him then."
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Wang Chaoyang agreed quickly.
Chen Yunteng nodded slightly, turned around and left.
Colleagues looked at each other in confusion, and they all realized that something was wrong.
Although Mr. Chen didn't say anything extreme, it could be seen from his attitude and behavior that Tang Song must have offended him.
When a normal colleague resigns, Chen Yunteng, as the director, will take the initiative to arrange a meal or a drink after get off work.
But this time he seemed particularly indifferent and just simply arranged the resignation handover.
For a moment, the entire office area became very quiet and no one dared to talk about this matter anymore.
"Ding Dong——" Another message was received in the department group.
[Director-Chen Yunteng: "Everyone should concentrate on their own work and don't let your mind wander. The company is in a period of rapid development. The structural adjustment of major departments has already begun. The technical support department will announce the specific plan after the May Day holiday. This is a very good opportunity for everyone. Come on!"]
After a while, colleagues responded one after another.
[Development-Du Shaokai: "Got it! Come on!"]
[Front-end-Zhao Yue: “Received! (#Come on)”]
[Front-end-Hu Mingli: “Received!”]
...
This gave everyone peace of mind that the company would definitely not lay off employees, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Jinxiu Trading is a large company with good benefits.
Many people have worked in the company for several years and have entered their comfort zone, and are very worried about being laid off.
After glancing at the messages in the group, Tang Song directly quit the group chat.
Then I quit all other work group chats.
On WeChat, colleagues with whom he had a good relationship would occasionally ask him why he left. Tang Song did not elaborate on the conflict with Du Shaokai, but simply mentioned the salary cuts and layoffs.
Just before the end of the get off work day, HR Liu Huihui came over.
Tang Song handed over all the company's access cards, laptop computers, mice and other office supplies and signed for confirmation.
The resignation process is complete.
He opened his backpack and put all his personal belongings, including water cups, tissues, snacks, chargers, etc., into it.
Looking at the empty desk, I feel a sense of loss for some reason, but of course I am more optimistic about the future.
"Xiao Song, let's find a place to get together." Guo Peng patted his shoulder and said with a sigh, "I really don't want to leave you. You are a good person and have good skills. If you leave, there will be no one to help me watch the server when I take leave in the future."
Tang Song smiled at Brother Guo, stood up and said, "Comrades, thank you all for your continued support. I invite you all to have a buffet at Lanting Teppanyaki. Those who want to go can sign up now."
Hu Mingli quickly said, "Did you quit your job or did you get rich? 299 per person for a buffet is too extravagant. I think we can just go to the Northeastern restaurant next door and have an iron pot stew, which will be lively and bustling."
Guo Peng also said: "Don't be so stubborn, you just bought a car and quit your job, are you going to live like this?"
Tang Song shook his head and smiled, "After I left my job, we have fewer opportunities to meet, so it's only right that I treat everyone to a good meal. Don't worry, I still have the money."
"Well, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go." A colleague suddenly said.
"I had an appointment with my wife to take the kids shopping, but I can't go either."
"I'm trying to lose weight recently. You guys go ahead, Xiao Song. I'll go drink with you alone some other time."
...
Others also followed suit and gave various reasons and refused to attend the dinner.
Zhao Yue hesitated for a long time, and said apologetically: "Brother Song, I have a few bugs to fix here. If I can fix them before 7 o'clock, I will go to you, but I feel it's not good enough. You eat and drink well, take more photos and send them to the group, so that I can satisfy my cravings."
Her impression of Tang Song had just changed, and she had been thinking about developing a deeper relationship with him, but she didn't expect him to resign and offend Director Chen.
Although it felt pity, she still made the best choice.
Tang Song glanced around and found that most of his colleagues were avoiding his gaze.
I can guess the reason in my heart.
The technical department's farewell dinner has always been organized by Chen Yunteng. He didn't bring it up this time, which clearly showed that he was very dissatisfied with Tang Song.
Now is a critical juncture in the technical department's structural adjustment, and everyone has the opportunity to be promoted.
If Chen Yunteng noticed this incident, he might lose this precious opportunity.
After all, they are just colleagues, and Tang Song has already resigned, so they are unwilling to take risks.
Human relationships are warm and cold, nothing more than that.
Tang Song pursed his lips and smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay. Those who have things to do can continue to do their work, and those colleagues who are going can prepare to leave."
Guo Peng closed his computer, stood up and said, "Let's go, I've always wanted to go to Lanting Teppanyaki Buffet for a meal, and today I can finally fulfill my wish."
"I'm going too. I haven't ridden in your Wuling Hongguang yet. We live not far away, so I can just get a ride on the way back." Hu Mingli picked up her bag and waved at him.
There were 16 people in the technical support department, but in the end there were only these two people, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Du Shaokai stretched out his arm and waved, smiling and saying, "Old Song, don't forget to come back and see us when you have time! I will miss you."
Wang Chaoyang, who was standing next to him, scratched his head, stood up a little embarrassedly, and helped Tang Song put on the waist support. "Tang Song, I'll see you off and get you some things."
He and Tang Song were colleagues who joined the company at the same time, were about the same age, and had always had a good relationship.
Now that the other person is leaving the job, it would be fine if he didn't attend the dinner, but he felt a little uncomfortable that he didn't even send anyone off.
Hu Mingli patted Zhao Yue on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyue, why don't you go and see them off? They usually help you a lot."
He looked at Hu Mingli, then at Tang Song.
Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go see him off, and I'll come back later to fix the bug."
