Chapter 42: Crossing Again? (3)
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong. I looked at Ani, who was sulking and sulking, and laughed.
"......" Ani remained unmoved, just staring at the laptop without saying a word.
"Then as an apology, I invite you to eat outside?" I asked tentatively, only to see Ani's ears move cutely, but she still stubbornly sat still.
"Okay, then you can do it, and you can welcome your new colleagues. I laughed.
"Hmph. Ani snorted haughtily, then stood up with her bag in her hand.
"Brother Song, Xiao Chen, let's go together?" I said to the two colleagues.
"No, you guys go, we're going to leave work when we're done with this. Brother Song smiled kindly, and secretly glanced at Xiao Chen, who was a little moved, Xiao Chen looked at me and then at Aini, with a look of sudden realization on his face.
"Alright, Aini, let's go by ourselves. I just shrugged my shoulders, this kind of thing has to be explained one by one, it's not my brother's style.
"Ani, what would you like to eat? I heard that girls like to eat some vegetable salad or something, but there is a light food restaurant nearby. I asked Aini, who was still silent, and Aini still lowered her head, revealing her snow-white and slender neck, like an elegant swan.
"Meat!" Ani couldn't help but raise her head to say the vegetable salad, and then blushed again at my surprised gaze.
"Okay, there's a nice steakhouse nearby, let's go eat that one." I couldn't help but smile and said, I didn't expect this to be a carnivorous girl, looking at Aini's slim figure under the black suit, I couldn't help but feel unfair for the majority of women who eat vegetables all day long to lose weight.
"Uh-huh......" Naturally, Ani, who was already medium-cooked, had no room for objection, and was obediently taken by me to a steakhouse.
This is a simple steakhouse near the company, with six or seven square tables with cheap plastic chairs, and the TV is playing a program that is not nutritious, and the store manager is bored at the counter, occasionally yawning or something, after all, it is past the meal, and it is usually ready to close.
"Yo Xiaobao, I'm bringing my girlfriend here today. The stout steakhouse manager greeted.
"yes, is there a 20% discount to celebrate?" I replied with a smile.
When Ani heard that I didn't deny it, her face turned a little redder, and she ruthlessly crushed her feet with her high heels.
"Hahaha, Xiaobao, you still love to laugh and laugh. The store manager patted me on the back so hard that I almost knocked my lungs out.
"Ahem, hahaha. I coughed a little, took Ani and found a place to sit down, and after each of them finished ordering, they began to sit and chat.
After chatting a few inconsequential words, the manager brought our food to us.
"Here's your twenty-one-ounce steak, you've eaten a lot today, and you've consumed a lot of energy. The manager put a steak bigger than my face in front of me in front of me in a daze, and hit me on the shoulder with that you know how to smile.
"Isn't it a mistake for you, manager, I ordered a twelve-ounce steak." I said embarrassedly, such a big steak can completely support two me, not to mention the actual portion, the visual effect of the huge steak alone makes me feel full before I eat it.
"Hmmm, no, you obviously have a ...... on the menu" Halfway through speaking, I and the store manager's eyes moved to the slender arm that was slowly raised, because it was so shocking, for a moment I was still thinking about what this thing was doing with its hands?
The manager smiled dryly and moved the oversized steak to Aini's and placed 12 ounces of regular steak in front of me.
"I just ordered the wrong pull, because you didn't say you could order casually, so I ordered the most expensive ......," Ani explained with an embarrassed smile.
"Hmm...... All right. I said noncommittally.
"Thank you for coming. The store manager heroically helped me settle the bill, and quietly helped me get a nine-percent discount, while smiling at me vaguely.
"It's really unseemly. I looked at Aini, who was walking in front of me without the slightest discomfort, and thought, I didn't expect such a slender beauty to eat up a steak by herself, and this cheap steak can still be eaten with relish, almost swallowing the fork, if it weren't for her good temperament, she would almost make people think that she is a big girl from the country.
Back at the company, the time hand has pointed to nine o'clock, and the company is not surprised that there are no employees left, Brother Song and Xiao Chen are both family people, it is impossible to stay in the company to work overtime so late. As the lights come on, the seats are lit up one by one like a stage, and the darkness outside the window feels particularly lonely.
"Well, let's try to catch up on some of the progress. 」
"Yes, Senpai. 」
Time flies, Friday at 5 p.m. sharp.
"Finally, it's done," Ani typed the last line of code with trembling hands, and stood up with a cheer.
"Yes, but most of it is my doing. I laughed.
"Senior, if you're so honest, you'll not have a woman's relationship. After these days of getting along, we finally got to know each other better, and Aini began to make fun of me, and sure enough, it takes three years to learn well, and only three days to learn badly.
I looked at the jubilant Aini and sighed, of the seven quite complicated cases, I handled four, Aini handled one, and Brother Song and Xiao Chen also set aside time to help us each complete one. Although most of the work is still done by us, it only took a few days for Ani to go from a rookie who can't use basic tools to a qualified employee who can complete cases on her own in a short period of time, although she should have taken these courses in college, but it is not easy to get started so quickly.
"Alright, let's go report to the manager. I stretched.
"Hmph, let's see what else that bald man has to say this time. Aini also said dissatisfiedly, the work of the past few days has made her understand that it is not normal for her to do this kind of case alone.
After waiting outside for more than ten minutes, I saw a man in a straight suit walking out of it, and when I saw them, I nodded and left.
"Excuse me. I glanced at Ani and walked into the manager's office, only to see the manager holding his forehead in despair, not even listening to their report.
We walked back to our position, only to see Xiao Chen, who was the most well-informed in the office, sneaking over.
"Do you know?" Xiao Chen whispered.
"You know what?" I replied, confused.
"The manager heard that he messed up a case involving tens of millions of dollars, and it is said that a key part of the program was not written well, resulting in the company losing tens of millions of yuan, and now he has to hold our company accountable. Xiao Chen said, his tone was not sympathetic, but full of schadenfreude.
"It's the next big case before, but I heard that the case was led by Brother Song......" I glanced at Brother Song worriedly, and Brother Song noticed my gaze and smiled at me.
"Probably not, Brother Song is cautious, he shouldn't make such a big mistake, the manager has always liked laymen to guide insiders, it should be him messing around. I guessed, but I couldn't have thought about it before it happened.
But on Monday, I finally understood how low a person's bottom line can be, and how despicable a person can be.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Bao, you have to take care of yourself. Brother Song took a box of personal belongings and walked out of this office building lonely, this company he had dedicated half his life, but in the end, because of an incompetent person, he couldn't even get a pension, so he could only leave the stage gloomily, and the initiator could continue to eat after being warned.
"Senpai......" Ani looked at me worriedly, I pursed my lips, my fists clenched until my knuckles were a little white, and my nails were almost oozing blood when they pierced into my skin.
"This person, don't rely too much on the old and sell the old, do something beyond your ability, you see, isn't this going to happen. That annoying voice came from behind him, and it was even more disgusting today.
"......" I turned my head to glare at the manager, who was about to say something, but couldn't help but take a few steps back under my forced gaze.
"It's not over yet. Unexpectedly, it was Ani who stood up, and I saw him standing in front of me in front of me and said, completely ignoring his identity as a small employee who had just entered the company.
"I'll wait. The manager lost all his momentum and fled back to his office in embarrassment.
