    ?

    During the whole meal, I just had a toast with my wife with drinks.  That is to say, even if the leaders have rewarded me, I can't use this to narrow the relationship with the leaders.  My whole life is doomed not to get any benefit from the wine culture.  No wonder my father complained about my non-drinking during his lifetime.  Indeed, in today's society, a teetotaler loses many, many opportunities.

    In any case, in the end, the banquet ended smoothly and successfully.  For us, it can be regarded as an end to a worry.  After all, reciprocity has become a common practice. If a colleague gives a gift, then we must treat him or her to show our gratitude, otherwise it will be considered rude.  Of course, this is only limited to ordinary colleagues.  Because the leaders generally don't give gift money.  For example, the top leader of the unit came with money from the trade union.  In the eyes of the top leaders, he represents the unit, and the gift money from the trade union happens to be paid on behalf of the unit. Therefore, the top leader takes it for granted that the gift money from the trade union is his own gift money.  It may be related to China's unique political system. In many cases, trade unions, which are supposed to protect the interests of ordinary employees, have become affiliated organizations of enterprises or units.  Such a trade union that has completely changed its quality is far more terrifying than a symbolic falsehood that has no practical effect.  Because such trade unions often unite with leaders to oppress ordinary employees.  Alas, such a union is worse than no union at all.

    Although I also invited some leaders, I actually didn't care much about whether they came or not.  All I care about is whether those colleagues who have paid gift money have come.  Of course, even if they didn't come, but in the case of having been invited, in terms of etiquette, I no longer have any faults.

    Although there were not many colleagues from our unit this time, it was a bit embarrassing for me, but judging from the final result, this was a good thing.  Because, after we estimated the number of tables, when we booked at the hotel, they kindly suggested that we should book less appropriately.  Judging from their past experience, under normal circumstances, the actual number of people who come will be a little less than estimated.  Moreover, according to the rules of the hotel, if there are really few people who finally come, then at most one table can be removed with flexibility, while the dishes on other tables can only be shown.  Therefore, even if there is no one there, the money for all the tables that have been served must be paid in full.  In fact, such a rule is also understandable.  After all, after you set the table and order the dishes, other restaurants need to prepare in advance.  At that time, they are ready, but you say no one will come, so the loss may not necessarily be borne by the hotel, right?  Therefore, it is not easy for other restaurants to be accommodating and help to reduce the cost of a table of food.

    After listening to the suggestions of the hotel staff, when we made the reservation, we subtracted one table from the original estimate.  Later, when I learned that there were not many people from my unit, I communicated with the hotel staff in time, and subtracted another table within the scope allowed by the rules.  That is to say, because the colleagues from my unit came less frequently, two tables were saved for me in the end.  On the other hand, if there are more people, then maybe, even if we do not reduce one table when we make a reservation, it may not be completely enough.  Of course, within the scope permitted by the rules, it is also possible to add a table.  But it is impossible to add too much, because if you add too much, the dishes prepared by the hotel must not be enough.  At that time, the excitement was lively, but I needed to spend more than three thousand to nearly four thousand yuan for it.

    From the perspective of face, I may choose to like lively; but from the perspective of saving money, I will definitely choose to be calm.  The so-called "two benefits whichever is more important, and two evils whichever is lesser", compared with "saving face" and "saving money", of course I would choose "saving money".  Therefore, after a short period of loss in my heart, I began to become joyful again.

    At the end of the bill, I spent thousands of dollars on meals, plus cigarettes and drinks, and the total cost was nearly 10,000 yuan.  If all the leaders and colleagues give me face, then I will definitely spend more than 10,000 this time.  Therefore, after checking out, I secretly liked my "obscurity" again.  It seems that being unknown is not a bad thing, at least this time it saved me thousands of dollars in expenses.  Maybe, you will think that I am a bit snobby.

    However, even if I don't look at it from the perspective of fame and fortune, I actually like to be unknown.  On the one hand, itĄŻs because IĄŻm really not very talented, so even if I want to be vigorous, I canĄŻt do it; on the other hand, itĄŻs because of my personality. IĄŻm a relatively quiet person, and I donĄŻt want to be disturbed too much by the world.  If you are in the limelight, it may be difficult to keep your privacy, let alone undisturbed.  Therefore, today's popular stars may be infinitely beautiful in the eyes of others.  The material life is incomparably rich, and it attracts attention everywhere.  but theyBut I may not like that feeling.  If you had to wear a mask even when going out to prevent paparazzi from secretly taking pictures, would you still envy the celebrity's attention-grabbing feeling?

    ? Compared with the high-profile, obscurity brings more loneliness and neglect.  This is often intolerable for people.  Perhaps, this is the disadvantage brought about by obscurity.  But it is precisely because you are not taken seriously that you can be troubled less, and you can have more space of your own.  As long as you don't see this space of your own as loneliness, then you can take this opportunity to think a lot.  Thinking about gains and losses, thinking about learning, thinking about life, thinking about the world In your free thoughts, you can even think wildly.  As the so-called "my space, I call the shots", I like this feeling of freedom.  I prefer to write about this freedom.  Write down what you think, think, feel

    Just like what I wrote in the comment area, "Don't ask for clicks, don't ask for monthly tickets don't ask for fame".  Perhaps, throughout my life's writing career, I will remain unknown.  But I will never give up writing because of obscurity.  I didn't write to be famous.  Only when I am not burdened by fame and wealth can I write more freely, and I also like this feeling of free writing.  Of course, you can also regard my thinking as not seeking to make progress.  In fact, I also feel that I should belong to the type that does not seek to make progress.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
