Lu Min studied engineering in university and has been working in the R&D department since joining the company. At first, the department manager practically ran her as a handyman: keeping equipment, taking minutes at meetings; When I worked overtime, I bought lunch boxes for everyone. Busy time, we are together to tackle key technical projects, but the manager asked Lu Min to clean the office. He obviously does not use lu Min as a technical staff, obviously look down on girls. Everyone persuaded Lu Min to report to the boss. She smiled and didn't say anything. She did the chores as usual, didn't relax, didn't get upset, and didn't match wits with her boss.

Once, the R & D department of a product for technical innovation, we have to speak, Lu Min also actively expressed views. The manager did not listen, impatiently said: "Your idea is very childish, don't say it again." Lu Min blushed with embarrassment.

The next day, Lu Min proposed to take annual leave, the company granted leave. Everyone whispered that the department manager had sent Lu Min home to rest. The manager also has some guilt, calls Lu Min, the result cell phone shuts down.

A week later, Lu Min returned to the unit. Although her face was haggard, her eyes could not hide their excitement. She carried a large paper bag full of photocopies. After spending several days in the capital library and consulting an academician in a university, she finally solved the technical problem. The whole r & D department was so busy without any results that Lu Min managed to solve the problem. Everyone is excited at the same time also very ashamed: originally thought this girl make small small to go home to visit relatives or travel, unexpectedly, she unexpectedly forgot to eat and sleep to solve the problem, and take up their vacation time. People think Lu Min is a bit silly to spend her rest time working. When this was gently suggested to her, she laughed: "I'm not stupid. When I say annual leave, I want to shut out the outside world. What if I say I go to the library for information, but the leader doesn't approve? It doesn't matter if I don't have a few days off, as long as I get the job done." Everyone shook their heads and sighed, thinking she was so stupid.

In any case, Lu min helped the company solve technical problems. Old total one happy, gave her a big red envelope of 30 thousand yuan. Lu Min kept ten thousand and handed over the rest to the department manager for distribution. Her reason is that everyone has paid a lot of efforts to tackle this key problem. She is standing on the basis of everyone's achievements and has taken fewer detours.

Everyone felt that lu Min was really stupid to the point of money. In the following two years, she was still so eager to pay, the results of the back, to give credit to others.

As the company expands, the boss plans to promote a vice president to be in charge of technical work. We thought it must be promoting the manager of the technology department, did not expect, the boss directly promoted Lu Min as the deputy general manager.

Seeing everyone dumbfounded, the old boss smiled: "when I was young, my father was a cook in the commune canteen. One summer, there was a flood. The water in the upstream reservoir overflowed. Many fish raised in the reservoir swam downstream to a small river near the canteen. Many people scooped fish with buckets or basins, but my father scooped fish with a broken ladle that leaked several holes. As a result, on that day, he scooped the most fish and filled two buckets. The reason is that my father knows exactly what he needs, so he misses the water and gets the big fish, while many people get very little with both fish and water..."

Listen to mister so say, everyone is convinced. It is true that Lu Min is such a person. She ignores some unimportant details and neglects them. She only wants to make more achievements and make more contributions to the company and unite the team.

From Lu Min's legendary promotion, we know: don't care about some small benefits, you can get promoted; Only by "leaving out" small benefits can we achieve greater achievements.
