Tao Ting stared at his back, always feeling a little strange that couldn't be said.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the calendar book turns to December, which is officially winter.

This week is still unremarkable, but this time Leon did not miss the regular meeting of the department, Tao Ting followed behind him with a notebook, relaxed and confident, and the mood was completely different from last time.

Today's room was not quite the same as usual, with Darlene and Jeffery on one side, and the middle seat was empty.

Tao Ting found Liam and Ann and sat down next to them.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Leon sitting straight at the head of the long table.

When everyone arrived, Darlene stood up, looked at the man beside him with a smile, and said, "First of all, welcome Leon as our new CMO." ”

She took the lead in applauding, and Jeffery even cheered loudly: "Honor!" It's a great honor! ”

Tao Ting looked confused, clapped her hands with everyone, and secretly asked Liam next to her: "When did it happen?" How did Leon become the boss of the department? ”

"Didn't you see the email you just sent in the morning?"

Tao Ting shook her head, and when the news popped up, she glanced at the title, thinking that it was an ordinary personnel transfer, and she didn't take it to heart.

Ann observed the expressions of everyone in the room and asked, "Did you say these people really congratulated him?" ”

"Of course not." Liam tilted his head, "Don't you see Darlene's teeth are about to clench?" ”

"Leon has been promoted?" Tao Ting asked, "Then what am I now?" ”

Liam replied, "Of course you're an intern." ”

"He's not called a promotion, right?" Ann covered his mouth with a folder, "He used to be in a lot more position at HQ than this bull. ”

"How awesome?" Tao Ting realized that she really knew very little about Leon.

Ann said, "Do you understand one person under ten thousand people? The kind of person who is most trusted by the emperor's side. ”

"Chief eunuch?"

Liam glanced at Tao Ting: "Why don't you say the queen?" ”

Ann lowered her head, didn't move her mouth, and said vaguely, "The demon concubine is about the same. ”

Liam bit her lower lip and smiled.

Tao Ting couldn't laugh, she received too much information at once, and her mind was very messy.

"Eh, is there anything wrong with the end of the day? Let's have dinner together. ”

"Okay."

Tao Ting shook her head: "I can't, I have to go home." ”

Leon, who was originally speaking, suddenly stopped coughing, and Tao Ting was weak and immediately silenced.

Ann touched her arm, "What are you doing back home?" Let's have a meal together. ”

Tao Ting didn't dare to raise her head at all, so she could only quickly agree: "Okay, good." ”

After the meeting, Leon walked up to the three of them, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his tone was cold: "When did the relationship become so good, what kind of small words do you want to talk about below?" Tell me about it, too. ”

Tao Ting was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, Ann smiled and didn't squeak, only Liam bared her big teeth and said to him, "We're happy for you." ”

"Huh." Leon laughed, "Thank you. ”

As soon as he took half a step, he turned around again and asked the three of them, "Well, are you free at night?" Have a meal together? ”

"We're going to ......," Tao Ting was interrupted by Ann's grab by the arm.

"I'm catching the subway, Liam has a date, Trinity is going home to mom for dinner, next time."

Liam nodded vigorously beside him.

"Okay." Leon glanced at the two of them, "I'll talk about it next time." ”

When Leon walked out of the conference room, Tao Ting asked Ann, "Why don't you call him along?" ”

Liam asked her rhetorically: "You still eat with the leader after work, are you shaking?" ”

Tao Ting hugged the notebook on her chest and whispered, "Won't he pay for him when he comes?" ”

Liam and Ann looked at each other, "yes." ”

Ann put her arm on Tao Ting's shoulder: "I thought you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be the smartest." ”

Both of them love spicy food, and after work, they chose a Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot restaurant near their company, half of the mandarin duck pot is heavy and spicy, and the other half is Tao Ting's tomato pot.

"Do you drink beer?" Ahn Jin asked as he stood in front of the drink cabinet.

"Drink."

"I don't." Tao Ting waved her hand and refused.

Liam quipped her, "If you don't eat spicy food or drink, you can go sit at the child's table." ”

"I'm going to drive."

Ahn Jin came back with two beers, one in front of Liam and one for himself.

The empty glass was filled with wine, and they touched each other in tacit agreement.

Tao Ting took a sip of Sprite with a straw in her mouth, feeling that she was redundant.

The two of them have limited topics in common, and they always go around to the leader when they chat.

"So you've known Leon for a long time?"

"Well, he used to take us on projects, but as soon as he graduated, he went back to Germany, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Liam snapped his finger at her, "Is there any gossip you can tell us?" ”

Tao Ting took a bite of the shrimp slippery and silently pricked up her ears.

An Jin blinked: "Where do I know any gossip?" ”

"You've always heard of it, haven't you? You've known him for so long. ”

"Huh." An Jin rolled his eyes, "Please, Mr. Li Jie, you think everyone is as idle as you, even Aunt Cleaning has been divorced twice." ”

Liam's expression froze: "Who told you my real name?" ”

He looked at Tao Ting: "Is it you?" ”

Tao Ting explained to herself: "I want to remind her not to call you by your real name." ”

"What's wrong with Li Jie, how nice Li Xie is." An Jinbian is a contrarian, the more others don't like to hear anything, the more she wants to say, "Li Xie Li Xie Li Xie Li Xie Li Jie." ”

"......" Li Jie's face darkened.

"Li Jie, is the fat cow okay?" Ahn Jin asked in his throat.

As soon as the fat cow came out of the pot, the color did not darken, and Li Xie deliberately said: "Okay, you eat it while it's hot." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat from the pot, and An Jin hid with the bowl with a disgusted face.

Tao Ting hooked the corners of her mouth to stop: "Eat quickly, stop playing." ”

"But I remember he had a very beautiful girlfriend back then." Ahn Jin said suddenly.

"Really?"

"His girlfriend is also an international student, and sometimes she comes to see him, as if she is in the fashion industry, and she has a special temperament."

"And then?"

"Now it looks like it's going to be divided, I've seen it once."

"Eh, Tao Ting." An Jin touched Tao Ting with his arm, "You follow Leon's ass every day, you should know something, right?" ”

"I ......" Tao Ting picked up the Sprite in front of her, "I don't know." ”

Chapter 15

"She certainly doesn't know." Li Xie scooped up the hot fat cow with a colander, "She didn't even read Leon's appointment announcement."

The can was pinched out with a "beep", and Tao Ting stared at the table in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Are the beef balls ready to eat?"

"It should work, you can try it."

"He only drinks ice food, and his home is in Wanyue Washington, but now he lives in a hotel apartment on the other side of the business center." Tao Ting opened her mouth coldly, and said as if she was an endorsement, "I went abroad very early, I studied in Germany as an undergraduate, and I went to Columbia University when I was a graduate student. ”

An Jin and Li Xie stopped talking and turned their heads to look at her.

"There is a Murray manor in Xishan, I heard that it was used by a rich man to hide the beauty of the golden house, he went to play last week, I don't know what the relationship between him and the master is, anyway, his family is certainly not simple. And ......," Tao Ting paused, "He's good at making sandwiches."

Her sudden seriousness overwhelmed the other two.

"That's all I know." Tao Ting turned her head and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, "What's wrong with you two?"

"I thought you were going to report something big." An Jin said.

Li Xie stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Me too, I'm scared to death." ”

Tao Ting touched her neck and decided to eat quietly.

"It's still a month before New Year's Day." Ahn Jin raised his glass, "I hate December. ”

Li Xie also picked up the cup: "The company's annual meeting is coming soon, and this month will be very soon." ”

Tao Ting put down her chopsticks and put the drink bottle up to fill the vacancy.

"Annual meeting?" An Jin's eyes lit up, "What will you do?"

Li Xie replied: "Eating, performing shows, doing games or something." ”

"Ahh An Jin said disappointedly, "That's boring too." ”

Li Xie frightened her: "Don't say it's boring, you pray first that I won't pull you up to perform when the time comes." ”

An Jin was not intimidated at all: "I'll go if I go, my sister can sing." ”

Only Tao Ting was about to die of worry: "Will you really pull people up to perform?" ”
