What if it's illegal, it's always the payroll that has the final say.

"How much do you get paid a day?" Leon said, reaching into his pocket.

"A hundred."

Leon took out his wallet, took out a red banknote from it and handed it to Tao Ting, saying, "It's starting to rain outside, there will definitely be a traffic jam in the evening rush hour today, go back early." ”

"Uh......" Tao Ting didn't know whether to take it or not, and her hand stretched out and shrunk.

Leon said, "Take it quickly, I'm in a hurry to go." ”

As soon as he said this, Tao Ting could only reach out and take it: "I'll help you buy coffee tomorrow with the rest of the money." ”

"Hurry up and pack your things and go."

Staying in the office, I didn't feel it, but as soon as Tao Ting came out, she found that the rain was not small.

The streets are already showing signs of congestion, the night is low, the neon lights reflect the rainy night, and the occasional whistle makes people feel anxious.

On the way, Yang Fangting called and asked Tao Ting if she had gotten off work, and told her to drive carefully on rainy days.

As soon as the phone hung up, the bell rang again.

"Hey."

"You're gone?" Liam asked her.

"Yes, Leon told me to come home early on a rainy day."

Liam said on the other end, "Eh, I want you to show me a little bit, the subway station is going to be crowded today." ”

"Where's you?" Tao Ting slowed down.

"Just came out of the company."

Tao Ting looked at the street conditions through the car window and said, "It's hard to turn around now, why don't you go to Yoshicho and I'll send you over after dinner." ”

"It's okay, then you wait for me."

Yoshimachi is on the adjacent street, Tao Ting found a place to park the car, and in less than ten minutes, she saw Liam walking towards here with an umbrella.

"Here." Tao Ting waved her hand.

"How many tables are there in front of you?" Liam put away his umbrella and stood under the eaves.

Tao Ting glanced at the ticket: "It's almost there." ”

She looked up, her eyes reflecting the warm light of the store's sign, and asked Liam, "What did Leon say to the two of you later?" ”

"Didn't say anything." The night breeze mixed with the rain was cold, and Liam tightened her coat and crossed her arms to hug herself.

Tao Ting nodded, Liam didn't say that it must be inconvenient for her to know, she was just curious, but she wasn't interested in the secret she shouldn't bear.

"091 can go in." The clerk shouted out.

Tao Ting got up from her chair and said to Liam, "Let's go." ”

After a day of working in front of a computer screen, and now walking into a warm ramen restaurant, Tao Ting can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She ordered her signature barbecued pork as usual, and Liam asked for a Hell Spicy Beef Ramen.

As soon as the two bowls of ramen were served, Tao Ting was violently hit by the spicy smell in her nose, she frowned and choked and coughed.

Liam asked her, "Something chopsticks for you?" ”

Tao Ting hurriedly shook her head: "No." ”

Liam tossed the noodles into the soup and smiled, "People who don't eat spicy food will miss out on a lot of food." ”

Tao Ting didn't care: "Then miss it." ”

"Leon wanted me and Grace to be part of his project team." The person on the other side suddenly spoke.

Tao Ting was stunned, picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup: "I know." ”

Liam added: "But he's going to change jobs. ”

As soon as the soup spoon was brought to her mouth, Tao Ting didn't have time to open her mouth: "What did he say?" ”

"I think that's what he meant, anyway."

Tao Ting put down her hand, and lost her appetite for a moment: "Last week, he went to the Lion's Tooth Auto Show, and he had a good chat with the person in charge of the other party, so I guessed it." ”

Liam was so hot that his forehead was sweating, he took off his coat, and said, "What he means, is that now the plan is in his hands anyway, even if Norbert doesn't keep him in the future, he has a way back, and he will still carry us." ”

Tao Ting was puzzled: "Then what has he been doing in the past two days?" Wouldn't he just resign? I saw that he suddenly became active, and I thought he had reformed himself. ”

"What have you changed about?"

"Didn't you say it, he was demoted."

Liam raised her head to meet Tao Ting's eyes, and for a moment she didn't know whether to call her naïve or stupid.

"Yes." He decided not to puncture the college student's beautiful illusions about working life, "He should change his ways." ”

"And what meeting is he having today?"

Liam shrugged and guessed, "Maybe it's trying to test the company's reaction." ”

Tao Ting realized that something was wrong: "Then why does he want to piggyback on you two?" ”

"I want to ask you." Liam gulped down the tea from his cup, wondering if it was schadenfreude, and said softly, "I guess Grace has finished pleading with Darlene." ”

Tao Ting's eyes widened: "How do you know?" ”

Liam looked at her speechlessly: "It's been half a month since you came to the company, who is who, you can't tell?" ”

Tao Ting's voice gradually lowered: "Aren't everyone all members of Darlene's team?" ”

Liam sighed, "Let's eat." ”

Tao Ting pursed her lips: "I look like a fool like this." ”

Liam looked at her and didn't speak.

"I am, right?"

Liam ended the conversation by saying, "Let's eat, we didn't bother with these things, so it's better to know less." ”

The more Tao Ting thought about it, the more confused her head became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became: "Did he come to Shencheng or I went to the airport to pick him up, why didn't you want to take me away?" ”

Liam asked rhetorically: "As soon as you are a college student, you probably ran away after getting the internship certificate, why did you leave?" ”

Tao Ting thought about it and was persuaded: "Okay, too." ”

Liam comforted her: "You don't have to worry, even if he really wants to leave, it will take a few months before he can officially leave, and then your internship period will almost end, and it will not affect you." ”

"I'm not worried about that, either."

"So what are you worried about?"

Tao Ting couldn't answer herself.

This topic is about to be talked about again, and Liam hurriedly changed the question and asked, "Then are you going to go to graduate school this year?" ”

Tao Ting shook her head: "Don't take the test." ”

"Why?"

"I didn't have it before." Tao Ting lowered her head.

Liam became excited: "Then you have to take the exam, you can get the qualification of the insurance research institute, and you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”

Tao Ting just shook her head and said a reason-sounding waywardness: "I don't want to take the test." ”

Thinking back to the last summer, she only remembers the dullness and boredom of the summer camp, remembers the cold sweat on her palms when she sat in front of the interviewer and was scrutinized by several eyes, she remembers the restless beating heart before waiting for the results, and remembers that all she felt after the dust settled was exhaustion and nothingness.

Liam tried to encourage her: "How do you know if you don't try?" ”

Tao Ting said: "'How do you know if you succeed or fail if you don't try', but if you don't try, you won't fail." ”

Liam was dumbfounded by this: "...... Where did you get all this poisonous chicken soup? ”

Tao Ting smiled.

"Eh, have you ever thought about studying abroad? You should be able to apply for this background. ”

Tao Ting also shook her head: "I only filled in the university in Shencheng for the college entrance examination, and I can't go outside with my character." ”

"So homely?"

"It's not a family lover, I don't want to go to an unfamiliar place alone, and I hate the feeling of insecurity."

Liam nodded, "Okay. ”

After a sullen meal, Tao Ting sent Liam to the vicinity of the subway station, and encountered several red lights on the way home.

The car behind honked its horn from time to time, and it could be seen that the owner was about to go crazy because of the evening rush hour on a rainy day.

When Tao Ting drove into the community, her mobile phone rang again, and she didn't answer when she thought she was almost home.

She hurried into the hallway in the rain, and the door opened before she could reach the door.

"Coming back?" Yang Fangting shouted in her pajamas.

"Hmm." Tao Ting walked into the house.

"I've got you some to eat." Yang Fangting took the bag from her shoulder.

Tao Ting said: "My colleagues and I have eaten. ”

Yang Fangting looked at the paper bag in her hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The company's afternoon tea, I brought it back without eating."

"Then I'll put it in the fridge for you." Yang Fangting said that she was going to pick it up.

Tao Ting didn't give: "No, I'll eat it as a supper later." ”

Seeing that her clothes were drenched in the rain, Yang Fangting nagged: "Go take a shower, don't catch a cold." ”

"Oh."

After washing away her exhaustion in the hot bath, Tao Ting returned to the bedroom after washing, with a small cake and a plate of cut fruit she brought back on the desk.

She turned on the lamp, turned it to its brightest setting, and pulled her computer and laptop out of her bag.
