Walking out of the company, I got on the car of Wenbei Su’s car.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t protect you well. It’s my fault to let you be treated so badly while your performance is excellent.” He said miserably.
“You’re my second brother. You don’t have to say that. It’s you who saved me from the prison. My accommodation and job are arranged by you. And you don’t owe me. Saying sorry is not necessary.”
” You’ve been working hard and good performance can be seen by people. I just can’t understand why they treat you like that.”
“I’m about to tell you that, second brother. You said if you couldn’t find out who’s against me, you would fire all the Management Group. Is that real?”
“Do you think I ‘m that stupid to fire all of them? The result would be the system of company being paralyzed.”
I’ll say, how can a smart person like him make such a stupid decision.
“But right now you’re doing it. I think even if someone has told the issue to the leaders, he or she won’t stand out to admit that. How should you end up all of this?”
With breath out, Wenbei turned to me handsomely. ” there’s no conflict between you and the executives. It’s not necessary for them to go against you. Besides, you haven’t done any of these things. If someone has sued you, there must be somebody to check. However, without checking, you’re fired. In addition, they all know that I recommended you to this company. How would they do something against you under my eyes?”
I understood, ” so no one sued me. The excuses that the headquarters fired me were made up by the leaders.
Wenbei nodded.
“Then why do you handle the problem in this way? You definitely know no one would admit. What’s the meaning of doing this?” I was confused.
” These managers have their own connections. They will find out who’s gotta fire you with all of their means. Finally some information can be traced with so many efforts. And it’s better to let them do it rather than I do it myself.”
I thought that made sense. These managers will try their best to seek for the fact because they’re worried of the loss of the job. In this way, they will give Wenbei a word. There must be someone who can tell with so many people and so many ways.
“Then what if no one can find out? After all, maybe it’s hard. What would you do at that time?” I asked Wenbei.
” If they couldn’t tell, I won’t be allowed to fire all of them. The headquarters will stop and then I can tell them it’s because of your pleading for them. Then we can have a happy ending.”
I nodded, ” Okay, surely everything is in your hand. I have worried too much. But second brother, you don’t have pay all of your attention since I don’t care if I could stay. I’ll just find a new job if it doesn’t work.
” No, I won’t let you suffer.” Wenbei said firmly.
” But even if we know who wants to play tricks on me, you can’t make enemies with them. It’s of no good for you and I don’t want you to be influenced for me.”
Wenbei shook his hands, ” Don’t worry. I’m one member of the headquarters and vice president. I just don’t understand why they should push you out. Is it because of that reason…”
He suddenly stopped by saying this.
Though he stopped, I’ve heard clearly. He said is it because of that reason.
Which reason?
It reminded me one thing. Once I was in charge of the cooperation project between Hua Group and Nanhe Group. Later project leaders were recalled. Moyun Feng from Hua Group made tricks at the first time. However, at the second time, Nanhe Group raised the requirements. All of these have explained that someone in Nanhe Group didn’t want my participation.
The other time I was first invited to Nanhe Group’s celebration, but then my qualification was canceled, which explained the truth that someone who’s staring at me didn’t want my relating to Nanhe Group.
Wenbei knew and has experienced all these things. And he must remember it. For such a long time, maybe he made private investigation but without any results. I’m not sure.
” Second brother, I can guess a little of that reason.” I said with smile,” Do you believe it?”
Wenbei’ tone became soothing, ” Oh yes? Say it.”
” We know in our mind, second brother. If people in Yang City couldn’t bear me , I’ll go. Go far. I’ll live a good life even without work, since I have some savings. Don’t be afraid.” I smiled and said.
” No, I won’t let you go. I’ll protect you well.”
…
The next morning, when I was about to go working with my clothes well-dressed, I realized that I was unemployed.
Now that I have got up, I don’t want to go back continuing sleeping. I changed my clothes and stared to clean. Nan House , large and designed as an old house, was hard to clean. I did the cleaning all morning with difficulty.
When it’s near to lunch time, Wenbei called me to sooth me. I could stay and work. But working at what position hasn’t been decided yet.
I wasn’t afraid at all. I knew he would try his best to me stay. And if not staying, I didn’t care
I said then what should I do. He said I didn’t have to do anything. Just had some rest and waited for his news.
I felt empty and idle waking up from the noon napping. I felt lonely being alone in the large and wide old house. I decided to go out.
I drove to the flower shop to buy a bunch of white lotus. Then I found out Nan Su’s grave in the cemetery. Putting down the flowers, I sat by the stone bunch.
I couldn’t say clearly why I came here, and had no idea why every time I saw Nan Su’ grave , I was unstable.
Undoubtedly, the cemetery was the quietest place where only sound of trees rustling. I sat there quietly without any aim. And I just wanted to sit there.
Then I found out something weird when I saw his grave.
The finest bluestones were used and cracks were well connected. With winds and rains in so many years, there’re some trails weathering on the bluestones but not damaged.
However, now what I was seeing was one stone with obvious damaged marks, one corner lacked. The connections between the stones appeared to have obvious cracks.
I walked there with careful observation. The stones showed clear imprints of being prized. Someone must have moved Nan Su’s tomb.
