His workmates gave a nickname “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name. As time went by, people forget his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office. “Some people give you a nickname for Four dollars a bucket. Why arent you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes. “Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because Four dollars a bucket is our companys advertisement. As long as some calls me Four dollars a bucket once, I think its free advertisement for our company. Its not necessary for me to get angry. Dont you think so, Mr Rockefeller?” “Oh! What a wonderful man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Alberts words. “Young man! Work harder, you must be successful in the future! I believe in you!” Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller. Later Albert said in one of his report, “ I dont think we should feel sad when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!” 43. What was Albert in the oil company at the beginning?A. A worker.B.
