Yang Fangting pushed the door in and saw her sitting in front of the computer: "Do you have to work overtime?" ”

Tao Ting stretched out her hand and forked an apple on the plate: "No, I'll just take a look at today's information." ”

Yang Fangting asked, "Are you hungry?" What else do you want to eat? ”

"Not hungry." Tao Ting bit the apple.

"I'll have a night of self-study tomorrow, so you can come back after eating outside."

"Oh."

Yang Fangting glanced at the notebook in her hand, thought to herself, and asked tentatively: "Actually, it's good to work in a foreign company, do you want to take a master's degree in economics and management?" ”

Tao Ting stopped chewing and raised her head helplessly: "Mom......"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Yang Fangting walked out while admonishing, "Go to bed early." ”

"Hmm." Tao Ting shrunk herself into the sofa chair.

Leon gave Grace and Liam three days to think about it, but he didn't let Tao Ting sit idle during those three days.

On Tuesday, as soon as she finished checking out and sat at her desk, Leon threw a string of websites for her to collect the latest trends in new energy vehicles and put together a complete and logical report.

The English reports were small and dense, and Tao Ting stopped dropping eye drops three times in the morning, and when she looked up the dictionary and was about to collapse, Leon knocked on her table again and asked her to find a restaurant to book a private room.

Tao Ting is familiar with only fast food restaurants and ramen restaurants near the company, so she can only call Tao Zejun to find a private restaurant with a good environment.

As soon as she finished making an appointment with the front desk of the restaurant, Leon came out of the office in his coat.

"Have you booked a spot?"

Tao Ting stood up and replied, "It's booked, but the guests at the table in front are still eating, and they have to wait until twelve o'clock at the earliest." ”

"It's okay, let's go first."

"That." Tao Ting wanted to speak and stopped.

Leon looked at her, "Huh? ”

Tao Ting avoided his gaze, stepped forward and stretched out her hand: "The collar in the back is not turned over." ”

"Oh." Leon bent down cooperatively.

Tao Ting flipped the collar for him: "Okay." ”

"Thank you."

The restaurant was not far from the company, less than ten minutes by car.

Bringing Leon to the door, Tao Ting asked, "Then when will I pick you up?" ”

Leon looked at his watch, "You come in with me to eat." ”

Tao Ting blinked, hiding the reluctance in her heart: "Oh." ”

She looked down at the tips of her shoes, already starting to get bored.

After a while, the waiter came and said that the box had been cleaned and they could go up.

Tao Ting walked up the stairs to realize a key question, who was Leon planning to invite to dinner?

The big trees stood outside the box window, the sparrows perched on the branches, Tao Ting's seat was facing away from the door, and she clasped her hands together, inexplicably having a bad premonition.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Leon instantly put on a smiling face, got up and greeted him, "Jeff, here." ”

Tao Ting dinged in her head, and looked at Leon with confusion in her eyes.

Chapter 7

The two men shook hands and greeted each other, and Leon turned his head to Tao Ting and said, "Go and serve the food to the waiter." ”

"Okay." She was eager to leave the private room.

In the past two days, Liam has made up a lot of internal gossip for her, although Tao Ting has not recognized all of them until now, and she has not even remembered a few names, but the relationship between Jeffery and Darlene is the number one taboo in the entire marketing department, which cannot be known.

Both of them hold real power, and they are usually fighting openly and secretly, and this year they are still competing for a place in the headquarters for further study, and it is said that whoever can go and come back will be directly promoted to CMO.

Liam specifically told her that before the victory or defeat of this big battle, she should not rush to stand in line to show her loyalty, remain neutral, and do what she should do is the wisest thing.

Tao Ting stood in the corridor, waiting for the waiter to prepare the dishes and come up with the plate before following in.

She was full of thoughts, but the two men in the room were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be meeting each other.

"Eh, you haven't been back to China for years?"

"Well, I haven't been back."

"Then you still speak Chinese very well."

"I can't forget this, and my best friend in Germany, his mother is Chinese, and we all communicate in Chinese at their house."

Tao Ting pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

"How's it going, is there a big change in the country?"

"Big, it's growing too fast." Leon leaned his hand on the back of the chair, and suddenly lifted his eyes to look at the person across the table, "I was chatting with my intern, and I asked her if young people still play Renren Net, and she said that it was too early, what do you use, that, Weibo?" ”

Suddenly being named, Tao Ting straightened her back in panic, pulled the corners of her mouth and maintained a proper smile.

"Yes, do you have an account? I follow you. Jeffery took out his phone.

"Okay, I didn't have any friends when I first started playing."

Jeffery found Leon's account, flipped through his homepage, and said, "I don't see that you can enjoy life." ”

Leon smiled as he picked up the teacup, "Pat it casually, it's boring." ”

"What does that mean?" Flipping through the last Weibo, the smile on Jeff's lips slowly dissipated, and he looked at Leon with a layer of defensiveness, and asked tentatively, "You and Lionfang?" ”

"Oops." Leon frowned, avoiding his gaze, "You've seen it." ”

Across the table, Tao Ting lowered her head and sighed silently.

Leon is demented, she's sure.

"Really?" Jeffery looked at Leon with a smirk.

Leon rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand, as if hesitating whether to say or not.

Jeffery said: "I heard that headhunters have been poaching people recently? Lion's Tooth's General Manager of Asia Pacific? ”

"It's not counting, a friend of mine has a business cooperation with them, wasn't he idle last week, so I went over to see their new exhibition."

Jeffery nodded, "That looks like a good conversation." ”

"It's okay."

Jeffery flipped the phone on the table: "It's so high-profile, it must be stable." But don't blame me for not reminding you, this kind of thing should not be quiet, that is, I accidentally saw it, and I must have to think more about it if I changed to someone else. ”

"Really? I just returned to China and don't understand much. ”

This time Jeffery laughed directly: "You don't understand? Have you just returned home or just started working? ”

"Intern."

Hearing Leon calling herself, Tao Ting raised her head.

Leon explained to her: "If it's cold and you want to drink a hot soup, you go to the waiter to add a dish." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away." Tao Ting wiped the corners of her mouth with wet wipes, heard the meaning of the words, and immediately picked up the bag.

Not long after she walked out of the box, she received a text message from Leon on her mobile phone, which was concise and to the point,—— "Go out and find another place to eat, and I will reimburse the cost of the meal." ”

Tao Ting breathed a sigh of relief, this text message came just as she wanted, and she was not happy to beg her to go back to the atmosphere.

The meal was almost over, Tao Ting was too lazy to look for a restaurant, and walked directly into the fast food restaurant across the street.

She sat by the window and took a sip of hot orange juice.

There is a lot of traffic on the road, and the late autumn sun is not warm, but it still attracts people to put their hands in the light.

Tao Ting wasn't curious about what secret Leon would tell Jeffery after she left, and she didn't want to get involved in the open and secret battles of the higher-ups, she just wanted this semester to end quickly, celebrate the New Year quickly, and the weather would warm up quickly after the long winter.

-

Seeing Darlene's figure through the glass, Tao Ting hugged the mug tightly, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

"Hi Tina." A colleague walked over.

Tao Ting wanted to correct that her English name had been changed to Trinity, but even the one who helped her change her name was called "intern" all day long, so she didn't care what she should be called.

"Hey." She tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Darlene stirred her coffee and looked up as they walked into the pantry.

Tao Ting couldn't hide, so she could only smile at her.

"How? Has work been going well lately? Darlene asked her.

Tao Ting nodded: "Smooth." ”

Darlene touched her arm and lowered her voice, "Come with me." ”

There is a platform outside the cubicle, which is usually used as a smoking area, Darlene took out the cigarette case from his pocket and asked Tao Ting, "Do you smoke?" ”

Tao Ting shook her head.

Darlene couldn't find the lighter, so she took the cigarette from her mouth and sighed a little irritably.

"I heard Jeffery and Leon had a meal together the other day?" She asked bluntly.

Tao Ting thought that this should not be something to hide, and replied, "Yes." ”

"What did they talk about?"

Tao Ting tightened her breathing and said, "I didn't talk about anything." ”

Darlene didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly.

Tao Ting explained in a low voice: "Leon later took me away, and he won't let me hear anything if he really talks about anything." ”

Darlene nodded, "I see." ”
