An inspirational story about an ordinary girl who worked hard in Shanghai

Introduction: Lu Xun said:? The most painful thing in life is that there is no way out after waking up. ? People who have dreams are the happiest. Without a dream, it is like walking in a desolate desert, dry and barren, and the road ahead is confused. The following is an inspirational story of an ordinary girl I found for you. I hope I can give you encouragement!

Today, a little girl from the department came to see me and said that she would resign.

Most people quit their jobs, and I always ask why. The little girl said timidly that she was too tired in the company and had to work overtime every month, and her family didn't want her to work so hard. I know that her family is good and she is an only child. She understood and immediately approved her application for resignation.

Looking at the back of her departure, I thought that when I first joined the work, I was as old as her, but not as lucky as her. I can find fault with my work, because I don't want to work overtime and resign willfully.

When I graduated, there were so many college students that it was difficult to find a job. It was not until the end of August that I found my favorite job, selling animal experimental instruments in a foreign company. Many people have never heard of this industry and think it is an unpopular industry. Because the company gave good treatment and the company brand was the first in the industry, they signed the contract without hesitation.

The company is headquartered in Italy. The year I joined the company was the fifth year when the Italian head office set up a branch in China. Many systems are not very mature and their management is not standardized. The company has dozens of people in Shanghai, mainly responsible for domestic sales and after-sales.

The boss is a young rich second generation, 40 years old, unmarried, from Beijing, studying abroad in his teens. After graduation, he entered the Italian head office for sales and was assigned to the China market. He is tall and handsome, and he can charm a lot of little girls with a smile, much like the mature and handsome uncle in Korean dramas now.

On the first day I reported to the company, the boss pointed to my dress and said, your dress doesn't match the temperament of the company. The company is located in Lujiazui, Shanghai, with a 5A office building. Looking out of the company window, you can see the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl.

Look at the colleagues in the company. They are well dressed and elegant. I looked down at myself, wearing the only white shirt with striped pants from Taobao, no high heels, a pair of sneakers and a clean white backpack. After the boss said this, I kept biting my lip, my nails were embedded in the meat, and my self-esteem collapsed a little.

After work that day, I borrowed some money from home and went to the mall to buy two sets of discounted formal clothes and a pair of leather shoes. Always wear those two sets of clothes, for fear that summer will pass too quickly. There is no extra money to buy formal clothes in autumn, and I have been silently praying to leave later in summer.

In this place of Shanghai, everything costs money except breathing. As a salesman, he often has to pay his own money, and reimbursement is a very slow process. I don't dare to spend my salary at ordinary times, because I have to buy tickets, book hotels and pay rent on business trips.

I clearly remember that once I was arranged by the company to attend an exhibition held in a local five-star hotel. My colleagues in the company said that they had booked a hotel for me and arrived at the hotel at midnight. When I checked in, the front desk of the hotel said that the company had not paid the accommodation fee and asked me to pay the accommodation fee. The exact amount has now been forgotten, except that there was not enough money in the bank card at that time and there was no credit card available that month.

I didn't know what to do then. More embarrassing than panic. The receptionist said softly, I'm sorry, madam, but we can't let you in without the delivery fee. ? I went outside the hotel and called my friend to borrow money, which was my sky-high room rate.

Back to the hotel, I was in no mood to see the high-end equipment of five-star hotels. This is the first time in my life that I have stayed in such a luxurious hotel. I come from the countryside. Like all girls who come to big cities to work hard, I just want to take root in this cement forest city. We have a seemingly decent job, but we struggle to live every month, renting a small room of several square meters, and watching what we like is always in the mall, even if it is discounted, we may not dare to buy it.

When I think of my parents in the countryside, they have never stayed in a hotel, eaten western food once, and worked hard to pay for my college education, but I can't even afford to buy them a decent gift. I lay in bed and cried loudly.

Sometimes I envy a little girl in the sales department of the company.

She is the sales department of the company. After graduating from junior high school, she went to study in England. She sits in the office every day, wearing delicate makeup and carrying a brand-name bag. I have been to the house she rented. I live alone in one room and one living room, less than ten minutes' walk from the company, and have a famous cat. I thought her cat was much happier than me.

Of course, these are not what I said. People are like this, and they will never confide in people who are better off than you. My pride and vanity tell me that it must be so. Many times, they are talking about perfume, lipstick and going on holiday abroad. I pretend to be busy answering customers' emails and don't participate in the chat.

The company has a dinner party every month, and the boss likes to eat Japanese food, so we eat Japanese food almost once a month.

The first time I ate, I ate carefully and painfully. In order not to let others know that it is my first time to eat Japanese food, I have to watch how others eat before I dare to eat it myself. I can't name the food at all. I'm anxious to know what it is, thinking that I must take my parents to experience authentic Japanese food.

They don't have to like it, but I want them to know that these things exist and what Japanese materials are like.

A few years later, my little wish came true. When I was finally able to rent a decent house in Shanghai, I took my parents from my hometown. I have been holding their hands, for fear that the crowded crowd will break us up.

I proudly told them that I work in the most expensive part of Shanghai, and I can see the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl from my company. I took them to the rental house. I cleaned up the house and told them with my eyes that I would buy a house in Shanghai in the future and take them all there.

I took my parents to the shopping center, but they refused to buy anything. Despite the opposition, I bought a better watch for my father. I once heard a colleague say that all men need a good watch, and this sentence has always been kept in mind.

Dad is still wearing that watch. Later, after I had a certain financial ability, I wanted to change my watch to a better one, but he never agreed. I bought a sweater for my mother. My mother stood in the shop wearing a sweater and asked me if I looked good. At that moment, my eyes were moist. She wore it every time she went to visit relatives, proudly telling others that her daughter bought it for her in Shanghai, and she was eager to prove her daughter's ability to others.

I took them to the high-end Japanese restaurant that the company often went to eat, told them to take off their shoes when they came in, ordered a lot of dishes, and told them that this is salmon, this is saury, how to eat sea urchins and how to eat prawns. My father and I drank sake slowly and watched my mother frown after eating mustard.

That meal was the happiest meal in my life, and I finally took them to eat authentic Japanese food myself.

I was in charge of Central China, which was a brand-new market with almost no user base. I started from a strange visit, contacted customers step by step, and established my own customer base.

I go out on Monday and go back to the company on Friday. I get up early every morning, carrying a heavy backpack and wandering around the city. Our customers are mainly animal rooms in hospitals, universities and local scientific research institutes, and all kinds of animal rooms come in and out.

People who have never been in this industry may not know what an animal house looks like. There are all kinds of mice, rabbits, dogs and monkeys in the animal house. Of course, these are raised separately, but the smell is terrible, and the strong ammonia smell makes people want to cry.

I especially admire those researchers who are engaged in the animal industry. China's animal industry is not very developed, and it can't guarantee the most basic welfare of animals. They are engaged in the most dangerous work in a difficult environment, and all our research and development of drugs, foods and antibodies are inseparable from them.

I go back to the hotel very late every day, then I have to deal with internal mail and customer mail, sum up my day's work, and learn English by myself before going to bed. In those years, I didn't sleep before 12 pm.

All the documents and materials of the company are sent from Italy in English, not translated into Chinese, including the communication with Italians, but also in English. When I first entered the company, I was afraid to talk, afraid that I would make jokes in English with a strong accent. In fact, Italians also speak poor English, so that every time someone laughs at the poor English of the Japanese, I will smile and say, don't forget, there is another country whose English is as poor as that of the Japanese? Italy.

Sales work is far from as simple as I thought. Sometimes it's not how hard you work, and customers will agree with you, but your sincerity will definitely impress customers. I gradually understand that the so-called growth is not to be smooth and hypocritical, but to uphold a group of true spirits and learn to follow suit.

I have met clients who are difficult to deal with. When I was following up a project in Hubei, I still can't imagine how those days came.

The client is a doctor studying in the United States, and there is wind at his feet. Does he use it when he is angry? Angry? It is no exaggeration to use it to describe it. Every time I see his legs, I can't help shivering. I was rejected by customers again and again, and the company put a lot of pressure on me at that time. Every time the boss calls? Don't come back until the project is discussed properly? .

Several times, I came out of the client's office, ran into the bathroom and cried, wiped my tears and went to the client's office.

Life can't be as good as you think, but it can't be as bad as you think. I think people are more fragile and strong than I thought. Sometimes a fragile word can make me burst into tears, and sometimes I find myself gritting my teeth and walking a long way.

A few years later, I finally bought a house in Shanghai by my own efforts and moved into a new house. At that moment, I felt that I really integrated into the city. Lights are brightly lit outside the window, neon lights are flashing, pedestrians are in a hurry, some are radiant, and some are exhausted. Among them, there are countless me.
