Chapter 337 Yes
The Duan family's network security upgrade was done quietly and not many people knew about it.
The following days were peaceful and calm, making people sleepy. Zhao Ruoming went to teach Du Honggen how to speak every morning, and after class, he played with Feng Xiaobao for a while as Fu Dongshu. Duan Hongji was very busy every day and rarely appeared at home.
Duan Ye crammed for a few days and took several final exams with a fearless attitude. He came back with a sad face and looked like he had lost his parents. It seemed that after the results came out, he would not be able to escape Duan Hongji's caress again.
In such warm, quiet and regular days, Duan Ye's first semester ended, and Du Honggen's first stage of language teaching also ended.
Du Honggen is very intelligent, but she is unable to speak. Her silence means that Zhao Ruoming's plot line cannot be completed.
Zhao Ruoming was not in a hurry either. He taught step by step without any intention of rushing the students.
After class that day, Du Honggen took out his mobile phone, typed a few words on the screen and showed it to Zhao Ruoming.
[I will be going back to my hometown in a few days and will not be back until next semester. But I will study hard at home, don't worry.]
Du Honggen's hometown is far away in the countryside, and it is extremely inconvenient to travel to Haicheng. Du Honggen has to take an 11-hour train ride and another hour bus ride to get there.
Zhao Ruoming looked at the line of words and his expression flickered slightly.
The summer vacation lasts for one or two months. It would take too long for Du Honggen to come back after the vacation.
"Why don't you bring your grandmother over to live with you?" Zhao Ruoming suggested, "That would be more convenient."
This question was a bit ridiculous. Even Du Honggen was stunned for a moment, as if wondering why Zhao Ruoming asked such a question.
Fortunately, Zhao Ruoming quickly said the following: "I know that the housing prices in Haicheng are very expensive. It is not realistic to buy or rent a house. But can you try to find a job that includes accommodation?"
Is this something a human can say? Finding a job is not as simple as Zhao Ruoming talking. Only Du Honggen has a good temper. If it were someone else, he would have retorted by now.
Du Honggen typed: [It’s not that easy to find. I haven’t graduated yet.]
Zhao Ruoming thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the Duan family?"
Who in Haicheng doesn't know the Duan family? Du Honggen nodded.
Zhao Ruoming pulled out some information he had prepared long ago from his phone and handed it to Du Honggen. "Large companies like Duan's will provide some jobs for special groups in order to give back to society."
Special groups, that is, people with disabilities. Du Honggen took Zhao Ruoming's phone and looked at the information on the screen silently.
"For example, Duan's business has flourished in many fields, including industry and finance. Duan's business has a manual department that specifically recruits special people for jobs."
This department was not founded by Zhao Ruoming, but was the legacy of Duan Hongji. Duan Hongji was born in a poor family, and he had deep sympathy for the lower classes. This was also good for creating a positive image for the company, so he set up many such departments to absorb poor laborers, and was praised by the government.
Zhao Ruoming said slowly, "This handcraft department is responsible for hand-carving and producing some handicrafts. Due to the special circumstances of the workers, they are often focused on their work, and the workmanship is more refined. It is sold overseas and is quite famous. Although it is only a small department, it has contributed a lot to the positive corporate image of Duan's."
Du Honggen gestured slowly: [You mean, let me try here? ]
"Yes." Zhao Ruoming nodded, "What do you think?"
Du Honggen didn't say anything, but Zhao Ruoming was keenly aware that the other party seemed to be in a low mood?
Why? Do you think you are not capable enough?
Zhao Ruoming pondered for three seconds, and looking at the whorl of hair on Du Honggen's head, he suddenly had an idea.
"Xiaohong, do you think I'm disappointed in you?"
Du Honggen suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruoming in surprise.
Zhao Ruoming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "I recommend you to work in a department that specializes in recruiting people with disabilities. This means that I think you will never learn to speak in your life and can only be a mute. Is that what you think?"
Du Honggen's face gradually turned red and he lowered his head.
Zhao Ruoming patted her shoulder and motioned Du Honggen to look up and look into his eyes.
Zhao Ruoming said patiently: "Xiaohong, that's not what I meant. It is precisely because I believe you can learn to speak that I recommended you to work in this department of Duan Corporation."
Du Honggen looked at Zhao Ruoming in confusion, as if asking, is it true?
"Of course it's true." Zhao Ruoming said, "I had the honor of visiting that department of Duan's." Although he visited as the boss, "everything about this department is good, except for one thing: it lacks a leader to manage and dispatch this department."
[How could such a large enterprise lack a leader of a small department? ] Du Honggen typed quickly.
This is the historical legacy left by Duan Hongji. In order to prevent employees who are "physically healthy but not morally qualified" from discriminating against or oppressing disabled employees and causing a bad impact on the company's reputation, Duan Hongji set up this department and specifically issued an order - this department is managed vertically by Duan Hongji himself, and Duan Hongji is the only immediate supervisor of these special employees.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is not so beautiful. Not everyone is like the original Duan Hongji, who works 24 hours a day. Most people in this world do not have this kind of quirk of working like a cow or a horse but enjoying it.
For the sake of money and the corporate image of the Duan family, Duan Hongji could do both. But Duan Hongji was about to die, so where could he find another Grandet who valued money over life like him?
Fortunately, these employees are all honest people. Duan Hongji has been in charge for such a long time, but they haven't caused any major problems. This inconspicuous department is still running smoothly.
The world is a makeshift team, a mountain of code with bugs piled on top of bugs - if the program can run, don't change it.jpg
Zhao Ruoming smiled, for the original Duan Hongji, and also for the Duan Hongji who was about to die - "It's a historical problem. Duan Hongji, the head of the Duan family, is also very troubled by this little thing. So I think you can give it a try."
How did Zhao Ruoming know this? Maybe Boss Duan Ye told him. Du Honggen didn't think much about it.
[Can I do it?] Du Honggen frowned, his eyes a little timid. [Such a big boss and company, there are many talented people, how could they be interested in me?]
Zhao Ruoming encouraged like a gentle older sister: "This department needs more than just talented people. It needs someone who can empathize with the difficulties faced by special groups and is not afraid of other people's strange looks."
Du Honggen was still hesitating: "Why not wait until I graduate before trying? I'm too young now, I don't have much experience or knowledge, and I don't even have a degree yet."
Zhao Ruoming laughed: "Xiaohong, your academic performance is very good. Many teachers praise you. You also learn languages very quickly from me. I think you can give it a try. Even if you fail, you will gain experience."
[But how can I meet Mr. Duan Hongji?] Du Honggen was a little tempted, but more hesitant, [Such a big boss, he probably won't let us meet casually.]
Zhao Ruoming coughed lightly and said, "This is easy. You just need to wait two more days at school. Duan Ye failed four subjects this semester. Mr. Duan will definitely go to the school board with gifts in a few days and plead for Duan Ye."
Du Honggen: “…”
-----
Two days passed quickly. Two days later, Duan Hongji arrived at Haicheng University with a gloomy face and a frosty complexion, just as Zhao Ruoming said.
Slightly different from what Zhao Ruoming said, Duan Hongji did not mention any gifts, probably because he was afraid of attracting attention. However, there was no shortage of rich second-generations and second-generation rich people in the school. Who didn't know the names of Duan Hongji and the Fire Prince Duan Ye?
When they saw Duan Hongji, the second-generation rich looked at each other, and I pouted, with eyes full of gloating - so what if Duan is the richest man? Don't you still have to clean up Duan Ye's ass yourself?
Du Honggen was also among the crowd watching from afar. Du Honggen had seen Duan Hongji's photos, but it was hard for him to connect the handsome and heroic man in front of him with the dull news photos.
She thought about it and sent a message to Zhao Ruoming: [Ming, I saw Mr. Duan. He actually came in person! I thought he would send his secretary! ]
Zhao Ruoming was not with Du Honggen today, which made Du Honggen feel very uneasy. He could only gain some courage by sending messages to him.
Zhao Ruoming replied after a while: [He sent a secretary last year, but this decision almost cost him the life of an elite secretary who had been with him for three years. This year, his secretary refused to comply, and Duan Hongji couldn't stand losing talent because of his stupid son, so he came in person.]
Du Honggen asked curiously: [How do you know so much? ]
Zhao Ruoming replied: [Guess what? Duan Ye is still squatting in his friend's house, scared as a bastard.]
It turned out that it was Boss Duan Ye who said that.
[What should I do now? ] Du Honggen asked nervously.
Zhao Ruoming replied after a long while: [Wait for him to come out, then stop him and tell him why you are here.]
So direct? Du Honggen was shocked. [But he looks a bit fierce...]
Duan Hongji was wearing a big black windbreaker and walking very fast, making the wind blow. With his tall stature, he looked like a big black tower walking towards him in the snow.
It would have been fine if he had acted a little more amiable, but the expression on his face was as if he had been soaked in ice for three days, which made people feel nervous.
Zhao Ruoming said: [If my son failed four subjects at the end of the semester, I would have the same expression. It’s okay. I have dealt with Duan Hongji before. He is very kind and easy to talk to.]
Du Honggen was still nervous, so Zhao Ruoming replied: [I believe you can do it. Duan Hongji will definitely appreciate your ability.]
About half an hour later, Duan Hongji came out of the office. Compared with before he entered the office, Duan Hongji's expression was obviously much calmer, which seemed to be because Duan Ye's problem had been solved.
Du Honggen tried desperately to encourage himself, but his feet seemed to be out of control and he couldn't move a step!
Duan Hongji came closer, and was about to walk to Du Honggen. Du Honggen had no time to hesitate, he gave himself a few pep talks, rushed to Duan Hongji, and opened his mouth - but no sound came out.
Du Honggen stood there and muttered a few times, then suddenly realized in frustration that he was extremely wrong!
Can Duan Hongji understand sign language? Even if he can, in this freezing weather, what are the chances that Duan Hongji would stop and look at a stranger standing there making gestures?
Du Honggen was so embarrassed that she almost cried. How could she be so useless? Or could she not learn to speak? She didn't even make thorough preparations and just rushed up so clumsily!
To her surprise, Duan Hongji stopped after walking a few steps. He stopped in front of Du Honggen.
Duan Hongji stood in front of Du Honggen, lowered his head and looked at him: "What can I do for you?"
Duan Hongji stopped? !
Du Honggen was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
Duan Hongji's size was second only to that bear-like Russian Fyodor among the people Du Honggen had seen. Now that he was standing in front of her, Du Honggen was completely shrouded in Duan Hongji's shadow, which was quite scary.
There is naturally a thick barrier between adults who have entered society and innocent and foolish college students, not to mention a middle-aged man like Duan Hongji who has been through many hardships and has rich experience.
Perhaps he was aware of his own oppression, Duan Hongji's tone was very gentle, and his expression could be described as gentle: "Do you have something to ask me?"
"!!" Du Honggen nodded, and quickly took out his mobile phone as quickly as possible and showed Duan Hongji the few lines of words that had been typed on it.
[I won't take up too much of your time. Can you come with me to the classroom? ...]
A few minutes later, Duan Hongji sat in the classroom of Haicheng University and raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you want to work in Duan Group?"
[Yes.] Du Honggen nodded awkwardly. The ease he imagined in his imagination had disappeared without a trace. Du Honggen now just wanted to complete this informal self-recommendation, and then quickly run back to the dormitory to cry about his own uselessness.
Duan Hongji did not make any sarcastic remarks, nor did he show any displeasure. He just looked at the information in front of him - this was what Du Honggen had just taken out of his bag and showed to Duan Hongji.
These documents include Du Honggen’s academic transcripts, certificates of honor from various competitions, and proof of his participation in some social organization activities.
At Du Honggen's current age, she was able to produce these things, which was enough to prove that she was an outstanding young person. Moreover, she was a mute girl. Needless to say, the hardships and obstacles involved.
Duan Hongji picked up a report card, read it through, and said calmly: "Your GPA divided by three is actually 0.1 higher than Duan Ye's GPA this year."
Du Honggen: “…”
Boss Duan, Boss Duan, you...
No wonder you’re hiding outside and dare not go home!
Duan Hongji looked at the certificates on the table again and said with emotion: "The last time I saw so many certificates and proofs was when Duan Ye got into a fight with a group of people and the hospital issued the injury certificate."
Du Honggen: “…”
Du Honggen was very EQ and held back her laughter. She didn't want to laugh at Boss Duan, nor did she want to embarrass Boss Duan.
Duan Hongji leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair. For a moment, Du Honggen was surprised by his familiar movements. The information she found said that Duan Hongji was a rough man who started from scratch. But Duan Hongji's movements now were so natural, as natural as a student for many years.
Duan Hongji had long arms and legs and was huddled in a chair. He still looked very big, but not as oppressive as before.
"But these things can only prove that you are an excellent student and that you may be an excellent employee, but they cannot prove that you will be an excellent leader." Duan Hongji looked directly at Du Honggen, "As you know, I have been worried about this department recently. But it is better to have nothing than to have something mediocre, do you understand? You can come here and be an ordinary worker, but how can you prove to me that you can be a qualified leader?"
Duan Hongji's tone was calm, without any pressure. His eyes did not show any contempt or pity, as if he was talking to an equal, ordinary peer: "You need to prove your strength. Prove to me that you can do it."
Under such a gaze, Du Honggen's heartbeat slowly calmed down.
It's no big deal. It's just a failure.
Du Honggen opened his mouth.
"I can."
……
!!!
A strange, pleasant female voice with irregular intonation and pronunciation was heard, and both Du Honggen and Duan Hongji were stunned.
Du Honggen imagined the scene of her first words many times. She fantasized that her first words must be to Zhao Ruoming. She must call out Zhao Ruoming's name and then say thank you to him, saying that it was all thanks to him.
Zhao Ruoming also imagined the scene when Du Honggen said his first words many times. She imagined that according to the original novel, the first words Du Honggen said should be to Duan Ye. He should say "I love you" or "Duan Ye, does it hurt?"
Neither of them had expected that Du Honggen's first voice would be in such a situation and he would say such a sentence!
It was not to confess my love to someone, nor to express my gratitude to someone. It was just to say to a stranger whom I had only met once in a less formal job search:
"I can."
It turns out she really can.
Du Honggen blinked his eyes, suppressed the thousands of thoughts churning in his heart, and also suppressed the urge to cry. He sat up straight, looked at Duan Hongji seriously, and said:
"As you can see, before today, I couldn't speak. But..."
