It was around 4pm yesterday that I received a phone call from my father, who told me to drive to City Center in SZ immediately to meet"Uncle Liu" I memtioned during my last blog. As no exact confirmation of the buildings, so firstly I ask Uncle Liu's phone no. from my father and called him to make sure. Finally I was notified to make our meeting at the coffee house at JinZhongHuan Building near Convention and Exhibition Center. Then without any delay, I carried my handbag and drove to the destination at once.
Actually my family was planned to enjoy the dinner with my father's friends at a natural village, where we could taste the fresh vegetables, self-feed poultry meat and other crude food. As the meeting with Uncle Liu was concerned about my job issue, undoubtedly I had to make the appointment alone giving up the dinner opportunity with parents.
When I arrived at the building, I mamaged a while to search for the parking lot. I remembered having driven around several circles to settle down eventually as the traffic was quite busy in downtown and also on weekend. I took the elevator and directly headed for the appointed coffee house. Then I saw two gentlemen were sitting here chatting. Uncle Liu introduced me to the important man, who had powers in charge of State-Owned companies in SZ. His first immpression given to me was so experienced and sophiosticated. Uncle Liu presented my general situation to him in order him to give me some recommendations with his insights. He mentioned the whole job status in State-owned companies. From benifit's perspective, he said engaging in international finance enjoyed high salary if prefer to making more money. Besides, considering the richest enterprise, he said China Petroleum. I was really unknowledge of systems in State-owned companies. They always asked me what business line I liked. For me, as the job is stable with good benifits and space of development, that's acceptable. They didn't list the options for me just making me to think about my direction. In fact, I needed their suggestions. For instance, If I was in fond of IT line, the state-owned comapnies might not have such lines. So felt so contradictory in making such decision. If they provided me some enterprises with different business lines, then my idea would be more clearer. From this point, maybe my mind was confined by myself, maybe they couldn't start until getting my answer or others.
As a matter of fact, there is benificial realtions between my father and Uncle Liu. With regard to a project, Uncle Liu needed my father's help to accomplish. At the beginning, we didn't ask for his help and my father didn't pay attention to his arrangement of my job as well. Once he expressed out, in my father's opinion he should made the promise because my father was certainly a strict-forwarder person. What he couldn't be tolerant was other's cheating even if Uncle Liu was not intentionally to break his promise. We never know the result. Once I confirmed my goal and took a look to see how he dealt with, would obviously his sincerity and credit. Actually what my father meant was that if Uncle Liu would definatelt like to help me, he should direct us rather than persuading me to thought about constantly, which finnally wasted so much time. I could see my father's disconcent of Uncle Liu to some extent althought they were still good friends and my father helped him as uaual. Just as the saying goes:"A friend in need is a friend indeed". I never put this matter into complication because I didn't consider the level of benifits.
I got home earlier before my parents'return. While stepping into the house, my father seemes unhappy as he called Uncle Liu before about the result of our meeting. My father asked me the whole process. I immediately responded that they still let me to think about. Because of drinking, my father got angry easily after hearing such result misunderstanding Uncle Liu cheating him without giving me answer. My father expressed constantly his tireness of his friend failing to help him with heart. For me, no need to be hasty so much as things needed to be fully considerated while my father hoped the timely result. He scoled me a lot maybe drank more yesterday. I was very sad and cried heavily feeling innocent. I didn't lose my father's face and just tried to test whether it would be successful or not. However, my father thought it in a more complicated way. When I was hidden in my room thinking that if I was fully independent, my parents wouldn't care for me in this aspect. I brought some trouble for them even if in my innder heart I was still strong and passionate. I felt so unhelpful at that time just listening to my own words. This matter became more complicated than before. To be honest, if without others' help, with my own capability, I still could find more better job with my own labore. Why so many complex elements happened? Currently I couldn't deny Uncle Liu's true ability to deal with matter, or my father's guess of Uncle Liu making use of this opportunity to extent the time to get my father's help to finish the project. Once my issue was handle well ASAP, maybe everything will be obvious.
When I struggled to sleep last night, I heard my father's phone call. Seemed from Uncle Liu, who decided to meet my father. Then I heard my parents popping the door and getting out. I tried my best to stop imaging and went to sleep.
As I had more clear mind about my expected business line back home focusing on Enery and Telecommunications at State- Owned companies, my parents might be tell Uncle Liu during their everning meeting. This morning, when I woke up, my mum told me that Uncle Liu got my answer and would start to preceed related to my direction.
Things are still going on. I hope to put down all the complications and check the reality with our own eyes. I couldn't blame for my father and Uncle Liu. Still wait for the time proving everything.
