50. All gifts of destiny come at a price
After the fashion show, Xu Fei's life underwent unexpected changes.
My aunt is popular.
On Sunday afternoon, the fashion show ended in a hurry due to the loss of control of African lions and the intervention of the detectives.
That night, more than 30 anchors and up owners posted videos labeled "Beauty and Beast" on various video platforms.
The "wild beast" in the video is naturally a majestic African lion, but the "beauty" is not the model dressed in sexy and exposed, but Xu Qing, who spread her arms and blocked her in front of Xu Fei.
In just a few seconds of video, the African lion jumped down from the runway, crushed the guardrail, and rushed towards the crowd fiercely. In a panic, people ran around in scattered, howling and screaming, only one figure was still standing still. She firmly blocked the lion and shouted resolutely: "Xiao Fei, run quickly!"
Then, as if she was shocked by her momentum, or as if she was tamed by the brilliance of her motherhood, the lion stopped and finally turned back to the runway.
As soon as this video was released, it caused heated discussions across the Internet, and the number of views and likes on various platforms soared rapidly.
At first, many netizens who regarded themselves as rational raised questions. They firmly believed that this was a carefully arranged show by the organizer, but after the video of the TV interview with Xu Qing was broadcast, they quickly changed their positions and liked and forwarded them.
Because these netizens' reasons for changing their views are surprisingly consistent, a new meme has begun to be popular on various short video platforms:
Ms. Xu is so beautiful, everything she says is true.
In the first two days, Xu Fei was happy about this matter. Because the negative impact of the fashion show was minimized, his aunt not only was not criticized for this accident, but instead received a considerable bonus. Not only that, after it caused heated discussions on the Internet, his aunt's status in the company rose rapidly, and promotion and salary increase was no problem.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
Four days after the situation fermented, Xu Qing returned home with a tired look on her face. Although she covered it up well, Xu Fei still saw the anger hidden in her eyes. After some inquiries, he realized that the company's boss wanted her to take this opportunity to transform into an anchor.
According to the boss, Xu Qing can attract a large amount of traffic as soon as she appears on the camera, so while the popularity is still rising,
The company hopes to sign a new contract with Xu Qing. As long as the new contract is signed, the company will fully support it. If you want money and people, it will surely make Xu Qing a well-known internet celebrity. At that time, she will also become the company's image spokesperson, which will benefit and win-win.
This description is very beautiful, as if fame and fortune are at your fingertips, but Xu Qing is no longer the innocent college student who has just entered society. She understands that all gifts from fate have their own prices, and all gifts that come from the sky have already marked the price in invisible places.
She knew that once a new contract was signed, it was equivalent to signing a contract for sale, and she could not help herself from now on.
Furthermore, Xu Qing does not have a high demand for material things. She is very satisfied with her current life and likes her work very much, so she politely rejected the boss's proposal.
Of course, the company's senior executives would not let go of such a good opportunity. The two sides disagree and ended up with disagreement.
Xu Qing thought the matter ended here, but she didn't expect that the company would release a list of layoffs that afternoon, and several colleagues in the company who were close to her were the first to be affected.
The financial situation of these colleagues is very average. One of them is a single mother in her forties, carrying a mortgage and car loan on her back. In order to save her child's nutrition and tuition, she spends a piece of bread and a glass of water for lunch every day. After receiving the news of layoffs, she immediately found Xu Qing and begged.
"You are young and beautiful. As long as you want, you will be able to live a wealthy life soon. I am different. If I lose this job, I will lose anything. The employment situation is so bad now. How can you let Xiaobao and I live? Am I going to deliver takeaway? Or do you go to DD? I will die! Please, you promise the boss!"
This is the original words of that colleague.
There is no doubt that this is pressure, coercion, and moral kidnapping, but Xu Qing does not blame her or hate her, because Xu Qing knows how difficult it is to raise a child alone.
Of course, Xu Qing did not agree to her, but just told her tactfully that she would not transform into an anchor and would not accept moral kidnapping, but would try to get the senior management of the company to cancel the personnel change plan.
After listening to my aunt's mischief patiently, Xu Fei soaked a cup of warm brown sugar water and brought it to my aunt.
Xu Qing took the water cup, and the resentment in her eyes was diluted by the sweet mist. She sighed quietly and said, "Actually, we shouldn't tell you about these negative energy things, but I don't know who else can tell you."
Although he wanted to help his aunt solve this problem, Xu Fei had no workplace experience at all and could not come up with a suitable suggestion after thinking about it, so he had to ask, "What are you planning to do?"
"Resign." Xu Qing replied without thinking, "I will resign tomorrow."
In the past, my aunt said she wanted to resign, but this time she obviously made up her mind.
Xu Fei blinked and was a little confused: "Will the company cancel the decision to lay off employees if you resign?"
Xu Qing smiled helplessly: "Of course not, so I have decided that tomorrow I will not only resign, but also make it clear to those idiot bosses that as long as they dare to lay off those colleagues, I will immediately go to their competitors to start a live broadcast, and then take all those colleagues in the name of building a new team."
"But, aren't you unwilling to start a live broadcast?"
"Yes, I just scare them. I can be angry. They can't be angry. They can't be angry. They can't be angry because they know in their hearts that I am fully capable of saying what I say. Yesterday, a headhunter contacted me. As long as I nodded, the new company will help me handle the competition agreement. People say that at most, they can go to a lawsuit, no shortage of money, and they can afford it! If I jump to a competitor at this time, the company's major shareholders will want to peel off the skin of those bosses."
"Oh!" Xu Fei suddenly realized, and then had another question, "In this way, you can force them to compromise without quitting, right?"
"Don't you want me to quit?"
"That's not." Xu Fei has always supported his aunt's decision unconditionally. "I just think that since they dare not break up with you, you can use this matter to threaten them to cancel the layoff plan. Why do you have to resign?"
"That's right, but, um--" Xu Qing held the cup and pondered for a moment, her eyes narrowed into slits with stubbornness, "Those bastards dare to threaten me, hum, I will definitely give them a gift."
"Okay!" Xu Fei rolled up his sleeves, bulged his strong biceps, and asked, "Do you want me to beat them up for you?"
Xu Qing glanced at him: "What are you talking nonsense? A society ruled by law is not allowed to do anything randomly!"
"Just kidding."
When Xu Fei was speaking, he felt the phone in his pants pocket vibrating. He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from Cao Yifei:
