Christmas was originally a religious festival, but it gradually evolved into a more secular day. In recent years, it has been floating across the sea and spreading into the inland that opened the door. (Niuwen Novel~ Read novels online) Employees of the newly-owned foreign-owned company in Shanghai and Ningbo joked that their greatest benefit is the combination of Chinese and Western: the company's annual holidays include both the Spring Festival passed down by our ancestors and the Westernized Thanksgiving Christmas.

This year marks the fifth year of the company's entry into the mainland market, but it is the first complete financial year after the company moved its R&D headquarters from Singapore to Shanghai and Ningxia. The growth of this year's performance is very gratifying, and a newly developed flagship product has passed the selected user test and will be widely promoted after the New Year. Because of this, the year-end bonus of the R&D department employees will be distributed to their hands in mid-December, and everyone is happy. This year's Spring Festival came early, and the Spring Festival holiday was just around the corner. There are many young people in the R&D department, and the Spring Festival is fine, but the Spring Festival is a bit of a bit of interest. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we instigated our leaders to lead everyone to gather together, and have fun.

As the first leader of the company's R&D department, Ni Shang happily accepted the proposal and booked a small venue on Christmas Eve to organize people from the R&D department to eat, sing and dance. Lu Hao, the president of the company's mainland area, also gave face. He heard that he would take the initiative to participate in it later.

After dinner, several old guys in their fifties greeted the leaders and said goodbye to their homes, leaving a group of young people in their twenties and thirties to go straight to the package. Looking up, the moon was on the treetops, and the long night was just the beginning.

**'s bathroom is very empty, the decoration is luxurious, and the lighting is warm and soft. Ni Shang stood in front of the faucet, looking at herself in the mirror. There was a faint blush on her cheeks, not powder, but the sequelae of drinking. She took out a light red lipstick pen from her small bag, repaired her makeup, and then added foundation to her cheeks.

For no reason, she looked at herself and sighed softly. Until she graduated from college, Ni Shang had almost never put on makeup, except for occasions hosting school-level conferences or TV shows. But after work, light makeup almost became a basic professional habit, and it is said that it was also a kind of respect for her colleagues. She suddenly remembered a sentence someone said many years ago, saying that when girls started to put on makeup, it was a proof that they had already begun to age.

The lotus comes out of the clear water, and it is naturally carved. Am I really old? Ni Shang stared blankly at his own image in the mirror, and suddenly there was some time flying like lightning. The son said on the river that the dead were like this.

In fact, she is only twenty-six years old this year, and half of the people in the box outside are older than her. But as the company's technical director or chief technology officer, she has more employees directly under her command than Lu Hao, the president of the mainland, because the R&D department is directly responsible to the Singapore headquarters.

Facing a group of her peers and a few older subordinates, Ni Shang also spent all her time talking with them. She was not used to the high-ranking management style, which was not in line with the culture of this high-tech enterprise. But her responsibilities were that in order to better carry out her work, she was not convenient to laugh with them too much. For example, on this occasion, she sang two songs and was invited to dance three songs. Every time she finished, she was shockingly cheering. Ni Shang controlled herself, and she had to maintain an invisible distance without being too arrogant and unsociable. She smiled a little reservedly and tried to make the other party feel her gentleness and sincerity when she was in contact with people.

Sometimes she is a little bored, even to the point of hating herself. But reason tells it that this is work, this is etiquette, and this is the responsibility and dedication that comes with her position. In this environment, she should not say anything just to say, laugh when she wants to laugh, and she will lose her face when she is angry, let alone she is young and holds a high position. You must know that in traditional business culture, being too young is an original sin, and it needs to be carefully concealed and compensated.

Ni Shang is not unfamiliar with all this. Since junior high school, it is wrong. Maybe it is elementary school. She was taught to cover up her joys, sorrows and sorrows, and not to expose them like a willful child. In her twenty-six years of life, there may be a few months when facing someone, she had cried when she wanted to cry, laugh when she wanted to laugh, act coquettish when she wanted to act coquettishly, and act coquettishly when she wanted to act coquettishly. Because at that time, she deeply believed that he would be unconditionally tolerant and always understand with a smile. Even when facing her parents, she never did this. It was not because she didn't love them, but because she was afraid that they would be sad and sad. She would carefully choose what she said and all the details of life.

Sometimes, Ni Shang felt that she was a little breathless because of all her self-restraints, because she always thought from the perspective of others, and did not hurt her shoulders because of all kinds of responsibilities. From childhood to adulthood, she was so outstanding and had such high expectations from her parents. Even those teachers from elementary school to university could not forget to take her as an example to educate new children year after year.

Ni Shang won the prize in the competition... Ni Shang was admitted to Ningda... Ni Shang became the president of the student union in his freshman year, and was from the entire school... Ni Shang went to CCTV... Ni Shang was sent to study abroad... Ni Shang published a paper in a famous academic journal... Ni Shang was in a company in the Fortune 500 that was responsible for the business in the mainland...

When the news about her spread, her former classmates, teachers, and even her neighbors' parents' classmates and colleagues would probably grin calmly, as if that was natural. That girl was amazing, I knew she would do whatever she did.

This is perhaps the most comment you have heard.

But nothing in this world is taken for granted, it is obtained with just a hand. She does not have a prominent family background. She always thought (as she once said to that person many times) that her talent is not as medium as possible, at most medium or above. All these small achievements are achieved by her step by step-

Set a goal, do your best, be patient, persist, spend more time than others, believe in yourself, respect others, seriously learn the strengths of people around you, ask them humbly, never reject new things, and actively integrate into the new environment as soon as possible-

All along, this has been the norm she followed, or it can be said that it is the so-called "secret" of her success.

From time to time, when a set goal is achieved, Ni Shang will have a little sense of accomplishment. Although she never feels that she is successful, nor does she feel that she is the indispensable person. She thinks in her heart that she, like most people, does very small things. But in those moments, she still can't help but want someone to share that little sense of accomplishment with her. But looking around, some looking up to her, some looking up to her, some looking at her, some envious and jealous in her heart, some respect and like her, but seemingly being separated by a long distance, but there seems to be a lack of a close person who can express her heart and share joy and pain. Sometimes she doesn't know if she unconsciously seals her private space, and only then can feel that she is looking at the people around her from both sides of the gap.

But Ni Shang is a person with a firm mind. At a certain moment of emotional fluctuation, such as when she stood alone in the bathroom and sighed in the mirror tonight, she could feel biting loneliness, or loneliness. But she washed her face with water, tied her hair up, and smiled in the mirror. She walked out slowly, and was still the radiant, capable, and beautiful twenty-six-year-old woman.

She needs to go on because she is Ni Shang, and she has so many invisible responsibilities on her shoulders.
