Rosette Section 20
"I don't know what Norbert will do, but when I was an intern before, some leaders even took the initiative to ask to go up and sing." Li Xie still remembers it vividly, "I kept smirking and clapping, and my face froze. ”
Tao Ting substituted Leon for singing on stage, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Eh, it's almost the end of the year, is your internship going to end?" Li Xie looked at Tao Ting and asked.
"Yes." Tao Ting's mood became heavy in an instant.
An Jin put his arm around her shoulder and asked, "How is it?" Do you have the confidence to become a regular? ”
Tao Ting shook her head: "I don't know, I hope so." ”
Li Xie wanted to say something, but he still held back, he only raised his wine glass and said to Tao Ting: "Come on, look after you." ”
The three of them chatted and ate, and the time passed unconsciously, and finally the bottom of the pot was almost dry.
Coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Tao Ting asked Li Xie and An Jin: "Do you want to send you back?" ”
"No, I'll just get there." An Jin buttoned his coat and waved to them, "Bye-bye." ”
"I'll go to the subway station." Li Xie said to her, "You drive carefully. ”
Tao Ting nodded, the car was still parked downstairs in the company, and it took about ten minutes to walk over, and then it was eaten after dinner.
The hot pot restaurant was so hot that she was sweating all over, and now that the cold wind was blowing on her flushed face, Tao Ting sighed comfortably.
The office building is still lit sporadically, and not everyone can enjoy a leisurely Friday night.
There were few vehicles on the road, so Tao Ting withdrew her gaze and looked ahead again.
The man across the road looked familiar, and she slowed down to see better.
The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to press the pause button.
The red light ended, the green light came on, and Tao Ting stepped on the zebra crossing to reach the next signal light.
"How do you ......?"
Leon spoke before her: "Going to eat hot pot?" ”
Tao Ting grabbed her hair and sniffed: "Is the smell very strong?" ”
"And Liam them?"
Tao Ting is not good at lying, so she looked away and said, "Yes." ”
"I knew it." His tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger.
"Did you just get off work?" Tao Ting asked.
"No, come back and get something."
"Today Friday, if it's not easy to take a taxi, I'll send you." Tao Ting admits that part of her hospitality stems from her guilt for leaving them behind.
The night was dark, and with the light on her back, Tao Ting couldn't see the expression on the other party's face clearly.
Leon refused, saying, "No need, you go home early." ”
"Let's go." Tao Ting insisted, "Anyway, it's all along the way." ”
Leon followed her to the parking lot, where the co-pilot's seat sits the book that had been wet in the morning.
He took it in his hand and opened it to see that the pages that had left the coffee stains were no longer flat and crumpled.
"Where did you buy this book?" He asked Tao Ting.
Tao Ting held on to the steering wheel and started the car: "What's wrong?" ”
Leon stroked the pages with his fingertips and said, "I asked around the bookstore and couldn't find it." ”
Tao Ting was stunned, she didn't expect him to buy another copy for herself.
"It's fine."
"White carp, I haven't heard of this author."
"Yes." Tao Ting said, "She is from Taiwan Province and is not very famous in the mainland. ”
"No wonder it's traditional characters." Leon turned to look at her, "And how do you look at it?" ”
"When I was in high school, I went on a trip with my parents, and I saw it at the local bookstore, so I bought it because I thought it was interesting, and I went to buy all her books back on the day I left." Tao Ting said while recalling, "Everyone else brings pineapple cakes or something, but half of my suitcase is full of books." ”
The lights in the carriage were dim, and there were dense traditional characters, which made people dizzy after reading for a long time, Leon closed the book and asked her, "Is it beautiful?" I like it so much. ”
"Hmm...... It's rare to see such a female writer. Tao Ting glanced at the book in his hand and said, "Just like this one, it's about a women's prison, and all the women in it are not 'women from good families' in the traditional sense, they don't like each other at first, and then they begin to slowly understand each other's past....... "The more Tao Ting spoke, the more she lost confidence, and she stopped and didn't continue."
"It doesn't seem so exciting for me to tell it."
"Nope."
"It's a pity that she is not well-known in the mainland, if I become an editor, I will definitely contact her." Tao Ting said.
Leon asked her, "Then why don't you consider working in a publishing house?" ”
Tao Ting replied: "Originally, I wanted to submit my resume when I recruited in the autumn, but now I only accept fresh graduates. ”
Leon nodded: "With e-books, traditional paper media have been impacted, and it is normal for job reductions to occur. ”
"I hope that Teacher Bai Li can be seen by more and more people in his lifetime, and it is best to come to the mainland to hold a meeting."
Hearing the people next to her laugh, Tao Ting panicked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I've been with those two for a long time, and I've noticed that you've talked a lot."
Tao Ting blushed: "Am I too noisy?" ”
"No, that's good." Leon looked out the window, "You've grown." ”
Tao Ting grabbed the steering wheel with her hands and slowly opened her eyes, repeatedly confirming that she had heard correctly.
Unspeakable joy spread, and she bit her lower lip, the corners of her mouth tilted upward.
Tao Ting thought that she was really going back more and more, how could such a painless compliment make her so happy.
-
Since Leon took over as CMO, the marketing department has seen more and more departmental meetings.
In the past, Darlene and Jeffery each led a group, Group A did Project A, and Group B did Project B, without interfering with each other, and a group of people directly worked from start to finish.
But after Leon came, he directly rejected this model, and he assigned each link in the new energy vehicle project to different groups, and everyone performed their own duties and cooperated with each other.
This made it much easier for Liam and Ann, and Leon allowed them to focus on solving the problem of the charging station.
He always emphasized data visualization in meetings, which was a complete blind spot for Tao Ting, who started teaching herself Python after work.
Yang Fangting saw that she sat in front of the computer every night, and thought she was working overtime, and complained about it: "You can't be a leader, why do you have so much work to do every day, this is oppression!" ”
"I'm improving my core competitiveness." These chart models tortured Tao Ting, a liberal arts student, with a headache, and she waved her hand and said, "Mom, go out if you're fine." ”
"Then go to bed early and pay attention to your eyes."
Tao Ting nodded: "Got it." ”
In the middle of the month, the administration sent an invitation to the annual meeting, and the black envelope was stamped with a gilded stamp, which was quite magnificent.
Tao Ting took Leon's copy into his office and asked him by the way: "Our department is going to put out a program, I heard that the legal department and the public relations department are both directors, and the administration asked me to ask you ......"
Before she could speak, Leon said, "I'm not going." ”
“...... Okay"
"Aren't there Darlene and Jeffery?" Leon's pitch unconsciously raised a degree.
Tao Ting pursed her lips: "Then I'll ask." ”
Walking out of the office, she was still reminiscing about Leon's expression just now.
The first time I saw him so panicked and resisted something, it was too novel, Tao Ting hooked the corners of his mouth, he wouldn't have any idol baggage.
The annual meeting is coming, but before New Year's Day, interns have a regular defense.
In the past few days, An Jin and Li Xie have been excited about the upcoming annual meeting, and they are still clamoring to lose weight and only eat salad during the day.
Tao Ting is in no mood and has no appetite, she can eat anything.
"Eh Taoting, did you buy the dress?" An Jin asked.
"Nope." Tao Ting took a bite of toast, lowered her head and looked at the project review she had just written, and replied casually, "At the beginning of the year, at my father's company's annual meeting, I bought a new dress, and I can wear that." ”
"Your dad owns a company?" Ahn Jin was surprised.
Tao Ting choked and shook her head in denial: "No, it's just that kind of small studio." ”
An Jin wanted to ask anything more, but Tao Ting handed the speech in her hand to Li Xie and said, "Can you help me take a look at it?" ”
"I'll see." Li Xie took it.
He skimmed it quickly, frowned, and said, "The organization is clear, but I can't see your value, so don't write too smoothly." ”
Tao Ting sighed and said tiredly: "Then I'll change it." ”
An Jin reached out and snatched the speech and stuffed the fork into her hand: "You concentrate on eating, relax your brain, don't keep watching." ”
"Okay."
"Eh, is your leader Leon or Darlene?" Li Xie asked Tao Ting.
"I don't know." Tao Ting said, "Nominally, it should still be Darlene." ”
"The final result will definitely be based on your leader's rating." Li Xie reminded her, "Then from today onwards, you should hurry up and talk to Darlene." ”
"Huh?" Tao Ting panicked, "That's not over, I don't have anything to do with her." ”
She folded her hands and closed her eyes in prayer: "Please, let my leader be Leon." ”
Li Xie laughed at her: "Didn't you just need to get an internship certificate before?" Want to stay now? ”
Tao Ting opened her eyes, and she didn't know when her mentality began to change.
Perhaps this morning, Jeffery announced that Haida had signed a contract to enter into a strategic partnership with Norbert, and that the first concept film in the "Dive" series was released, and the family sat around the conference room and applauded at the end of the film.
At that moment, her palms were sweaty, her heart was beating fast in her chest, and the joy and sense of achievement that Tao Ting had never experienced in the previous 20 years.
She was fascinated by it and wanted more.
