Chapter 62: Father and Daughter

Ye Jing wore a ponytail, a backpack, and a pair of light-colored sneakers, and came to her father's company like a delivery girl.

The company is located in an old office building, and the height of only five floors makes the building look very inconspicuous under the surrounding steel high-rise buildings. The interior is a continuation of the old style of the last century, with lime walls and wooden staircases. Ye Jing even remembered that the desk they used didn't even have a keyboard drawer, and the shiny keyboard was placed on the desktop so casually, with a gray monitor, such a decadent phenomenon, it was really hard to believe that this company was still profitable.

Ye Jing often joked with her father that it was more like a related institution that was up and down in the sea of eunuchs, rather than a modern company that made waves in the sea of business. And after a few drinks, my father would also sarcastically say a few words from time to time about his boss who refused to pay for the renovation of the office.

Like most companies, at this time of almost lunch, the front desk lady was chatting happily with the working brother, and Ye Jing's appearance brought some fresh variables to this unchanged day.

"Uh, are you Lao Ye's daughter?" The front desk lady, who is known for knowing people, naturally has a pair of bright eyes, "Are you looking for your father?"

"Well, he forgot about it. Ye Jing took out the documents from her bag, "I sent him a ......"

"Your dad is in a meeting right now, why don't you go to his office and wait first?" The front desk looked at the itinerary on the table, and then patted the working boy, "You can take the little girl in? I'm still waiting for the call here." ”

"Ahh......h......h

"Manager Ye Tianqin of the marketing department!" The front desk gave him a blank look, "Don't you still have a lot of couriers to send in, don't be lazy here, go quickly, take her to the office by the way." ”

"Yo~~ I'll go, this is still a daughter......" The little brother smiled apologetically at Ye Jing: "Then Miss, please here?"

The little brother pushed a full cart and distributed the couriers to each department along the way. With the unique self-familiarity of that zero-hour job, Ye Jing, who followed all the way, did not feel restrained.

"Na~~ It's here, this is your father's department, and the innermost table is his. ”

There is still no single room, Ye Jing thought to herself, if it is a modern office layout, a position like my father can obviously have a single room of his own in the office, although my father prefers a working environment like now, where he can mingle with the staff. But it's hard to wait for Ye Jing, who has to wait for her father here, because I have the impression that those uncles and aunts in the office, although they are strangers, are always very enthusiastic.

"Yo~ Xiao Lai, who is the little girl next to you?

The sudden familiar voice completely dispelled Ye Jing's depression, and when she looked up, it was really him, the one who was in the same guild as himself in the game!

"You owe ...... mouth," Xiao Lai was about to fan Laifu, "this is your leader's daughter." ”

"Poof......" Laifu looked at it intently, almost not laughing, "It turned out to be Xiaojing, haha, why are you here?" ”

Ye Jing glanced at the 'real worker' Xiao Lai next to him, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, plus a pair of dirty sneakers, which was really inexplicably similar to herself.

Seeing Laifu, Ye Jing always instinctively looked around for his good friend Xiao Song. Because she often teams up in games, she forgets the fact that Xiao Song no longer works here every time.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been in the game for a while...... right" Laifu made a cup of hot tea, looking like he could take a break from his time as a matter of course, "I miss you very much~~"

"Almost all of them work here, so what's there to think about~~"

"Hehe, of course we don't want to ...... if we know that you are Lao Ye's daughter," Laifu blinked and smiled, "But there are other people in the union, and there are fewer girls and sons playing games, so what, men and women are matched, and they are not tired of working." ”

Ye Jing shrugged: "The school has been very busy recently, and I will go online when I have time." ”

"Okay, besides, the last time you were asked to connect to the voice, didn't you implement it yet?"

"Ah...... I don't need that......" Ye Jing waved his hand, "I won't use it if I install it, I'm not used to talking into the microphone......"

"Actually, you're not used to any form of talking......" Laifu broke out in a cold sweat and changed his words: "Let's not talk about this first, at least change your female name......, right?"

Ye Jing's frustrated expression made Laifu have to explain further: "Don't worry about the character level, as long as you are willing to build a trumpet, we will take turns to take you to upgrade, and we will ...... soon."

"Xiao Jing~~"

As he spoke, my father had finished the meeting and came back with a stack of papers. After all, it was the boss, and Rifle had to immediately return to his post and type on the keyboard a few times in a decent manner.

"Dad, I brought the papers. ”

"Ah~~ Great" The father took the folder and breathed a long sigh of relief, "The things discussed in the afternoon are all in it, I really can't imagine how I could forget such an important thing, hehe, are you old?"

Before his father finished laughing at himself, a large number of people poured into the office, needless to say that they were the very enthusiastic uncles and aunts in Ye Jing's mouth, in fact, many of them were his father's colleagues for decades, and Ye Jing had known them since he was a child.

"Yo, Lao Ye, isn't this your daughter Xiaojing, why did you come to the company?"

"Oops, I've become a big girl in college, and I'm getting better and better......"

Somewhat different from what she had imagined in advance, Ye Jing found that she was not so troubled when she found herself gossiping, and even felt a little relieved that these people who did not meet often could recognize her at a glance.

Looking back at the colleagues in my father's office over the years, in addition to Xiao Song, who had taken him to participate in the activities of the game guild, there were many other faces that had disappeared or appeared, either familiar or unfamiliar. The gathering and dispersion that makes Ye Jing quite emotional also happens here every time, no, it should be said that it happens in every corner of the world.

When you can accept that your classmates who get along day and night are drifting apart, it seems that you are immune to all kinds of things around you. It's not that we lose our feelings and become numb, it's just that the threshold has increased and we become less sentimental, and experience will tell us that if we have lower expectations of the world, when we are hurt, it will not hurt so much.

After getting rid of a bunch of words complimenting their father and daughter, the father proposed to Ye Jing, "Since you are here, will you have a meal with your father?"

Ye Jing looked at her watch: "Okay......"

So Ye Tianqin took his daughter to a rather high-end restaurant in the business district, with a small table of candles and music, which looked very elegant, although it was the peak time of dining, there were only a few tables of individual customers in the hall, and they all seemed to be completely not focused on food.

"The company often entertains customers for dinner here...... "My father said, "of course there is more business to talk about......

Ye Jing, who was reading the menu, nodded clearly, obviously because of the price, the white-collar workers working around this restaurant could not use it as a canteen for daily meals.

Ye Jing, who thought it would develop into a dinner party, couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eat with your colleagues in the group?"

"What about this...... "Father habitually touched his chin, "although your father and I like to mingle with the young people under him, but as a superior, I still have to keep a certain distance from the staff at times, and if I get too close, it will be difficult to put on a serious expression." And work, many times, is incompatible with human feelings......"

Ye Jing pinched the spoon and fiddled with the tea in front of her: "But this doesn't prevent us from finding a way that is compatible with human affection and work, does it?"

"That's right, any effort is not in vain......" The father smiled: "I'm sorry Dad has to work overtime today, you rarely come back now, and I don't have a chance to talk to you properly......"

"Isn't there time now?" Ye Jing said whitely.

"Well, that's right......," the father shook his knee, "but I don't want the conversation between the family to be like this, like this, as if they were busy taking time to ......"

"It's okay......" Ye Jing ordered a few dishes casually, and instructed the waiter to place an order, "Living in this era, we all understand the precious ...... of time"

Ye Tianqin sniffed awkwardly, always feeling that his daughter was talking back because of dissatisfaction, although he knew in his heart that Ye Jing, who was already an adult, would no longer stick to herself like she was as angry as she was when she was a child, but in the final analysis, no matter whether Xiao Jing is eighteen or twenty-eight years old, in the eyes of a father, she is still the timid and clingy little girl, maybe deep down, he still hopes to be like this, always needed by his daughter, hoping that time will not leave, her daughter will not grow up, at least, she will not grow up so fast......

"How's the university?" Ye Tianqin wiped his face and opened the topic, "Are you getting along well with your classmates in the dormitory?"

"Pretty good......" Ye Jing replied truthfully.

"That's good, to be honest, I was a little worried about your fearful personality at first......"

Ye Jing couldn't help but think about what such a father would have if he knew that his daughter was serving as a campus idol.

The meal was quickly served, and Ye Tianqin looked at his daughter who was eating vigorously with a satisfied expression, trying to capture every subtle expression on her face.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ahem......" Ye Jing's mysterious question made Ye Jing almost choke, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Oh oh......" Ye Tianqin shrugged, "I just feel that you have grown up all of a sudden, and sometimes I dream that you look like you in a wedding dress......"

"Dad~~" Ye Jing protested, "Can you still eat happily?"

"Hehe, it's Dad who thinks too much...... Ye Tianqin touched his daughter's head lovingly, "I think when you were a child, when you saw you the size of a hot water bottle, you didn't dare to think about when you would be able to become a big girl, and what went to college seemed to be a distant and invisible future at that time......"

"But now......" Ye Tianqin took a sip of his drink, "It seems that in the blink of an eye, you are already a college student, maybe ...... in the blink of an eye"

"Dad!"

"Okay, don't say it, don't say it~~" Ye Tianqin stroked the hair on his sideburns with a smile. With this action, Ye Jing could see the layers of silver threads mixed under her father's black hair.

Father, it is true that he is getting old, and time is always so cruel......

"Dad, show you this ......" Ye Jing pursed the corners of her mouth and turned on her mobile phone, "These are all taken by me in the dormitory, na, these are my roommates......"

"Oh, this little girl with glasses looks like you......" The daughter's sharing of life obviously made the concerned father very happy, "This is the senior sister you are talking about?

"This is another senior sister who has inconvenient legs and feet, so she is in a wheelchair. Ye Jing flipped through her mobile phone and patiently explained to her father the bits and pieces of her college life behind each photo.
