Capítulo 895: Chapter 718_2

However, the current visitor is evidently the first case.

Nan Zhubin thought for a mont and decided not to guide the conversation imdiately.

The visitor continued on his own: “But this morning, after finishing my chat with Chen Lizhou, I just…”

He suddenly looked up: “Teacher Nan, you know Chen Lizhou, right? I saw you greet him in the elevator before. He’s the director of our departnt, I’m under him.”

Nan Zhubin didn’t directly answer the question because he wasn’t sure how much Chen Lizhou had disclosed about their consultation to the visitor.

Without his own permission, all his relationships with Chen Lizhou are protected by confidentiality agreents.

But Nan Zhubin couldn’t deny knowing Chen Lizhou either, as that would violate the principle of [sincerity] toward the visitor.

So Nan Zhubin took a detour, posing a guiding question back: “It sounds like sothing happened between you?”

The visitor’s mouth ford a straight line: “Yes, Chen Lizhou… he told this morning that my work has been poor lately, dragging down the project, and he said I should… find a way out for myself!”

The visitor looked up suddenly: “aning he wants to resign voluntarily!”

Nan Zhubin felt a jolt in his heart.

He was aware of the recent layoffs at the company, but why would the task fall to Chen Lizhou?

Or perhaps soone else assigned it to Chen Lizhou to handle? Or did Chen Lizhou take it upon himself?

…

There are many possibilities, but these aren’t the main issues to consider right now.

Nan Zhubin’s pupils slightly lost focus, and his thoughts collided in a [Flow State] for a mont.

Then quickly returned to normal.

The visitor didn’t need Nan Zhubin to respond, as he continued speaking: “Recently, there were rumors in the company about layoffs… but they kept being postponed, never officially starting.”

“So people believed it, while others thought it was just the company putting pressure on us because we’re rushing the project. They wanted us to voluntarily work overti. This isn’t the first ti either.”

“I thought the sa and even advised my colleagues not to worry too much…”

The visitor abruptly laughed: “I didn’t expect the layoffs to really happen now, and I’m the first one to be cut.”

His laugh vanished quickly. After briefly licking his lips, he bit down viciously.

“Why should I be laid off?!”

“Teacher Nan, I’m in sales, and you may not know how I work regularly. Everyone in our departnt does! I spend less ti at ho than I do at the company or traveling!”

“I often skip als to follow up with clients, and last year I got sick from my eating habits and schedule. But I didn’t even have ti to go to the hospital when sick—I held on until my annual leave to get hospitalized—”

The visitor waved his arm to emphasize: “—annual leave for hospitalization!”

He genuinely works very diligently and responsibly.

Facing this heightened emotion, Nan Zhubin adjusted his expression, presenting a subtly frowning [empathy] face, nodding continuously.

The visitor’s chest rose and fell heavily: “I’ve been doing sales under Chen Lizhou for so long, whether it’s developing new clients, maintaining old ones, or managing client paynts—I’ve never complained even when dealing with areas outside my responsibility, as long as he asked, I’d do my best to help—I’ve always thought I was his right-hand man…”

Saying this, the visitor’s voice dropped slightly, adopting a hint of his previous bitter smile: “Considering my performance, I thought I ranked at least in the top five, maybe even top three in our departnt.”

After a brief pause, his voice rose again.

“But what happened in the end?”

“Not only are there layoffs, but Chen Lizhou is the first to cut ! Those sales who usually slack off, produce no results, and don’t bother following up with clients aren’t being laid off; it’s who gets cut despite my ability to achieve results and handle challenges. Is this reasonable? Is it?”

“Not only are they laying off, but I’m the first to go!” the visitor emphasized.

“Yes, I know I’m the first—because Chen Lizhou hasn’t had a one-on-one talk with anyone for a long ti. I’m the first recently!”

The visitor gasped for air: “I can’t believe it’s , it’s …”

His voice weakened again.

The incident happened in the morning, not long ago, and it was clear the visitor was still in a state of pent-up frustration without an outlet.

He hadn’t even accepted the current “fact” yet.

Nan Zhubin thought for a mont, planning to first guide the emotional release, then gather more information.

Lucky for him, he could taste a different vibe from the visitor’s emotions.

Nan Zhubin said: “It sounds like this was an unexpected event—especially for your job, it’s destructive. Anyone would have trouble accepting it.”

“Yes, I can’t accept it!” the visitor nodded sharply.

“Also, from what I’ve heard, your emotions right now—” Nan Zhubin gestured a circle between his chest and abdon, “are not just about the ‘potential layoff,’ a large portion is directed at your director, correct?”

This [feedback] was very precise.

The visitor bit down again, looking like he was ready to breathe fire.

But then he froze.

He maintained that furious deanor, breathing continuously.

With each breath, it seed he exhaled a wisp of anger through his nose.

Nan Zhubin watched as the visitor’s anger was gradually expelled, emotions slowly diminishing.

After a while, the visitor leaned back on the couch: “Yes, Chen Lizhou, I used to call him Brother Chen.”

The visitor’s expression turned into a hardened coldness, like clay fired dry.

“He used to be good to , or rather good to everyone in the departnt. As sales, theoretically we are the most profitable departnt in the company. And those who co to the sales position usually can’t go to technical positions and think administrative positions don’t pay enough—aning we co for the money.”

“But Chen Lizhou was different. He would actively lead us and introduce us to clients when taking on projects. Teacher Nan, you might not know, in our departnt, clients are resources that need to be tightly held. As long as you have clients, you can stand firm anywhere…”

Saying this, the visitor suddenly laughed: “Actually, when I first heard about the layoff rumors, internally I wasn’t worried. On one hand, because I had performance, I felt it wouldn’t affect ; on the other hand, I thought I was close to Chen Lizhou, he wouldn’t target ;”

“Plus, I have clients, even if I change jobs, I have the resources to settle down, no fear of losing the livelihood…”

Saying this, the visitor suddenly smirked: “Most of these clients were introduced to by Chen Lizhou. So were secondary introductions by clients he introduced to .”

He took a long breath, then exhaled fiercely: “Unwilling as it may be, my current success is largely thanks to Chen Lizhou.”

Emotions seed to have cald, the visitor gazed at the air between him and Nan Zhubin, as if reminiscing.

Occasionally shaking his head gently.

“So—I can’t understand,” the visitor said, “how can a person change so drastically?”

“He used to be a good person, or at least he acted like one. I’ve worked at other companies, I know who is good, who is bad.”

“But Teacher Nan, do you know? This morning, he was a completely different person from before!”

Nan Zhubin squinted slightly.

He’s curious as well about what kind of person Chen Lizhou has beco today.
