As her parents expected, the next morning, Tao Ting got up on time to wash and looked as usual.

"Wonton or porridge?" Yang Fangting asked.

"Let's make porridge." Tao Ting sat down at the dining table and tied her long hair into a ponytail.

wanted to make his daughter happy, Tao Zejun asked: "Winter vacation is coming soon, where do you want to go to play this year?" ”

Tao Ting said: "I'm okay, didn't my mother say last time that she wanted to go to Lucheng?" ”

"Are you free for winter vacation? Didn't you just pick up a show? Yang Fangting served the porridge and put the evening in front of Tao Ting's noodles.

"There is always time for the Spring Festival, so we will not go to our relatives' houses this year to pay New Year's greetings, but will go directly to the holidays."

"No, no, you have to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

The husband and wife had a heated discussion, Tao Ting drank a few mouthfuls of porridge soup, put down the bowl and said, "I'm going to work." ”

"That's all you need to eat, your grandmother made her own pickles."

"It's late and it's stuck in traffic." Tao Ting smiled at the two of them, "Let's go, bye." ”

I'm not sure if Leon will come to work today, but she bought a glass of ice American on the way.

Li Xie and An Jin saw Tao Ting coming, stopped her and asked, "Today is the last day, do you want to have dinner together in the evening?" ”

Tao Ting nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

She walked into the office, the door was locked, and Tao Ting hung the paper bag on the handle.

In the morning, she went through the resignation procedures at the personnel department, and when the meal was ordered, she went to Yoshimachi to eat ramen alone.

I don't know how many times I've eaten it in the past two months, but it's almost become her standard meal.

It's rare to have such a leisurely lunch break, after eating noodles Tao Ting didn't rush back to the company, and walked around the nearby shopping mall.

She bought a night light for An Jin, a set of utensils for Li Jie, and a scented candle for Darlene.

The rest of her internship salary, she used to buy a dark gray cashmere scarf.

Tao Ting put the shopping bag in the back seat of the car and returned to the office with only Darlene's copy.

She took the gift and knocked softly on the office door.

"Come in."

Tao Ting pushed the door in, put the gift on Darlene's desk, and said, "I want to thank you for taking care of me during this time." ”

"Baby, you're so polite." Darlene put down the pen in her hand and stood up.

Tao Ting smiled, clasped her hands together, and plucked up the courage to speak: "I still want to come and ask where I am not qualified." ”

"Actually, I like you very much, you have a strong learning ability and a down-to-earth person." Darlene's tone was full of regret.

Tao Ting asked: "Is that because I didn't do well in my defense?" ”

"Okay, you interns have a lot of pretty much the same problem." Darlene found a document on the storage shelf, took out the A4 paper and handed it to Tao Ting, "Although you brought it to me, Leon is your leader during this time, for the sake of fairness, I asked him to play on your usual time, you can take a look, this is the feedback he gave me." ”

Tao Ting took the piece of paper and glanced down at it, which saw a table listed.

Darlene said to her, "There's still a long future, you haven't even graduated, keep up your good work." ”

Tao Ting forced herself to squeeze out a smile, raised her head and said, "Well, thank you, then I'll go out first." ”

"Go ahead."

The horizontal lines in the table are each of the tasks she was responsible for during this time, and the vertical lines are written "global insight", "rational thinking", "ability of aesthetic appreciation", "communication and expression skills" ....... There are nearly 10 of them.

He graded each column, even so meticulous that he wrote in the remarks at the end that "A" was 5 points, "B" was 3 points, "C" was 2 points, and "D" was 1 point.

At a glance, they were all Bs or Cs, but Tao Ting didn't see a few A's, and there were two D's in the top rows.

The final total score was 67, which was reasonable, fair and impartial.

Tao Ting stood in the hallway, pinching the piece of paper, the letters and numbers on it became more and more dizzy.

The white paper and black paper are clear and clear, and all her performances in the past two months are written coldly and ruthlessly.

She didn't know what her mood was at this moment, the form was handwritten, column by column, so detailed, and there were still traces of his alteration in a few places, and it could be seen that he had also struggled.

Should she be happy? Should he be said to be idle and panicked or serious and responsible?

Should she be sad then? Should I be wronged? Should you be angry?

Tao Ting herself doesn't know anymore.

Chapter 18

When Tao Ting returned to the office, she found the door open, and she was so frightened that she carried the A4 paper in her hand behind her.

Seeing that there was no one inside, Tao Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and her panicked appearance just now seemed ridiculous.

One last glance inside through the doorframe, Leon's desk was always kept clean, a computer, a stack of papers, a few pens, the black mug she bought, and nothing else.

Tao Ting noticed that the coffee hanging on the doorknob had been taken away, and at the same time, a strong sense of frustration came over her.

Yes, her work has always been so boring, repetitive, and simple, and anyone can change it.

Worried that Leon would come back at any time, Tao Ting threw the contents on the table into the cardboard box.

Liam and Ann weren't at their workstations when she left, and the cubicle was more than half empty.

She had forgotten that it was time for the department's regular meeting.

Without saying goodbye to anyone or taking a photo as a souvenir, Tao Ting took the cardboard box all the way to the underground parking lot.

She was sitting in the car, not plugging in the keys, because she didn't know where to go now.

There were a few new messages on the phone that had not been checked, all of which were sent by Yang Fangting, asking her what she wanted to eat tonight, and a few minutes later another one said: Dad said that he would take us out to eat tonight.

Tao Ting held her mobile phone and looked at the text sent from home, and her nose was sour and she wanted to cry for a moment.

She sniffed and typed back: I made an appointment with my colleague to have a barbecue in the evening, tomorrow!

She tossed the cardboard boxes aside, and piled on top of them was the notebook she usually used to keep notes.

Tao Ting took it in her hand and turned the first page, on which was written a self-introduction in English that did not come in handy.

The night before she went to the airport to pick her up, she mentally rehearsed her opening words dozens of times, but it wasn't Müller that day.

The first time she attended the meeting, she was so scrambling that she didn't know where the point was, and she scribbled a few phrases on a piece of paper, and several words were only half done because she didn't know how to spell them.

The further back she looks, the more she writes, the more complete and clear she becomes.

Sometimes she would write down her thoughts and questions on a piece of paper.

Leon says that what she learns in the workplace is what is most useful, and she always remembers it.

She treats every meeting as a classroom, listens carefully, takes notes, and tries to bridge the gap between herself and them.

She wrote on the paper: "We must use the thinking of being a brand to do marketing, and use the thinking of marketing to make a brand, and remember to maintain a long-term reputation while driving short-term sales, and at the same time to maintain a good reputation, we must also think about how to create a breaking point." ”

She wrote: "Don't think of 'selling something' to plan a marketing plan, the first thing to do is to make the product remembered by consumers. ”

Page by page, Tao Ting could recall the tone and expression of Leon's tone when he said these words.

This notebook was newly bought after her internship, and she is almost finished writing it now.

He clearly said that she has grown up, is it because she is growing too slowly? Isn't it obvious enough?

Or is she not suitable for marketing in the first place, and the workplace is not a school, not a place to grow?

He just said it casually and politely.

Tao Ting couldn't remember how long she had been sitting in the car, and when her phone rang, she realized that it was time to get off work.

"Where are you?" Li Xie asked her on the phone.

"I, I'm outside." As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her throat was hoarse, Tao Ting coughed and said, "You guys go first, I'll be there soon." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Afraid of bumping into him and An Jin at the door of the company, Tao Ting specially stayed for ten more minutes before starting the car and leaving the parking lot.

On Friday night, as the New Year approaches, the trees on the roadside are lit up, and Korea Street is especially lively today.

Tao Ting took a shopping bag and pushed open the door of the barbecue restaurant, and found An Jin and Li Xie in the lobby.

The two of them were talking, not noticing her coming in.

Tao Ting quietly approached, stood behind them, and put the gifts in front of the two of them one by one: "Surprise! ”

"What?" An Jin turned back to her, "Why did you bring a gift?" ”

"New Year's gifts." Tao Ting sat down in the vacant seat and took off her shoulder bag, "It's quite punctual when you get off work today." ”

Li Xie sighed: "You don't know, something happened to Norbert." ”

"What's wrong ?"

"The high-level change of blood is tragic." Li Xie poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to Tao Ting, "Jeffery has also jumped ship." ”

"He's gone to the lion's tooth?"

Li Xie raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?" ”

Tao Ting picked up the water glass: "Just guess." ”

"Oh, don't talk about this, Liam and I have a gift for you." An Jin snapped his fingers at Li Jie, "Take it out quickly." ”

Li Xie smiled and reached out to take out a large bouquet of flowers from under the table.

Tao Ting was stunned: "I didn't see it just now, it's so good to hide." ”

Li Xie handed her the flowers: "There is also a bracelet, what An Jin said about transporting powder crystals, I don't know if it's real or fake." ”

"It's really good." An Jin winked at Tao Ting, "The one who recruits the peach blossom is carefully selected for you." ”

Tao Ting held the flowers, and the sour nose came up again: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." An Jin put the menu and pen in front of her, "Li explained that he has a treat today, let us order whatever you want." ”

"So good, huh?" Tao Ting raised her tone and deliberately said, "Then I want to eat Wagyu beef on the brain." ”
