"Eh, eh." Li Xie was anxious, "It's not easy for my brother to drift in Shen, it's almost enough to order two plates of pork belly." ”

Tao Ting smiled: "I know, I know, you broke the bill today." ”

She drank soju today, and although the taste was spicy and bitter and not good, Tao Ting still poured it into her stomach one by one.

"It's baked, isn't it?" Ahn Jin has always had little patience.

Li Xie took the rack and skillfully turned over the meat: "No, the roasted focus is delicious." ”

Tao Ting kept smiling and chatting with them, as if she hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Auntie." Halfway through the meal, Li Xie raised his hand and called the waiter, "Help us add another brain to this table." ”

Tao Ting's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?" ”

"I'd love to." Li Xie put the grilled pork belly in her bowl.

"Good!" An Jin's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't drink less, "It's the last meal, this plate of meat is mine!" ”

Tao Ting was dissatisfied with her statement: "What do you mean by the last meal? We can get together again in the future, right? ”

She tilted her head, but found that Li Jie's expression was not quite right.

"What's wrong ?" Although Tao Ting was drunk and hazy, she was still sensitive to something, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

"You were busy defending before, so we didn't tell you." An Jin paused, "I'm going to be transferred to the headquarters, Liam is going to the Bank of China as a management trainee, and after the holiday, I will go to Hong Kong City for three months of training." ”

Alcohol slowed down her thinking, and Tao Ting couldn't react at once: "You all have to go, then...... What about Leon? ”

"He will be reinstated, and of course he will return to the headquarters." An Jin said.

Tao Ting looked at Li Jie: "Why are you going to the Bank of China?" ”

"As I told you, I've always wanted to work in a bank."

Tao Ting vaguely remembered such a thing, but only thought it was a casual remark.

Everything is changing so fast that last week they were at Norbert's annual meeting, still struggling with the same project.

Tao Ting looked at the two people in front of her, her mind was tangled, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Before she came, she was still glad that at least this internship she met two friends who could talk to each other, and they could get together again in the future when they didn't work together.

Why did they suddenly tell her that they were going their separate ways?

The atmosphere became gloomy in an instant, Li Xie picked up the wine glass, and said to Tao Ting: "I still remember the day you first came, you didn't know how to use a printer and you were embarrassed to call someone, if I didn't go to ask you, you don't know how long you would stand there." ”

"It's Leon, right?"

"What Leon?" Li Xie took a sip of wine.

"Leon got you to the bank." Tao Ting stared at the sizzling pork belly on the baking tray and asked expressionlessly, "Right?" ”

Li Xie did not deny it.

"I'll just say, why did you follow him?" Tao Ting figured out a lot of things in an instant, "As soon as he left, the project of the new energy vehicle was Darlene's, no wonder he handed over the follow-up implementation to a group to do." ”

She slowly raised her eyes, looked at An Jin and said, "You have always been his person anyway." ”

Her vision was blurred by tears, and Tao Ting didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "He was so thoughtful, he introduced Jeffery to Lion's Tooth, left the project to Darlene, took you to the headquarters, helped you get the quota of management trainees, and arranged everyone properly before leaving, so why ......?"

- Why did you forget me? Why am I the only one who has been denied.

At this moment, Tao Ting's self-disgust reached its peak, and she choked up and said, "Why can't I do anything?

Her throat hurt so much that she couldn't continue, so she lowered her head.

Hearing the whimper, An Jinjiu was frightened awake, she grabbed Tao Ting's arm and said worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Li Xie also panicked, comforted her and said: "Don't cry, you have only done an internship for the first time, this is all normal, not to mention Norbert's current situation, you have to persuade you to think again." ”

"That's right." An Jin stroked Tao Ting's back, "Don't cry." ”

Tao Ting shook her head, tears falling uncontrollably, and her chest hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

She didn't want to act so childish, but the valve of emotional management seemed to be broken, and she cried so much that her whole face was red, and she wanted to say that she was not sad because she didn't turn positive.

She just felt ashamed.

An Jin and Li Xie did not speak again, giving her space to vent her emotions.

When the crying gradually became quieter, An Jin took a tissue to help Tao Ting wipe her tears.

She cried so that her lips were white and chapped, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I am, I can't bear you." ”

Li Xie looked at her gently and said, "I can't bear you either, you will always remind me of when I first interned, and I didn't dare to ask others like you, but you did much better than me." ”

"That's because you've helped me a lot." Tao Ting raised her head and said.

"Oh, really." Unable to stand this sensational atmosphere, An Jin shook his body, "I've only known each other for two months, why are you so affectionate." ”

"Don't cry, fragile college girl." Li Xie handed her the water cup, "Rehydrate." ”

Tao Ting was amused, took the glass and said, "Thank you." ”

After crying, Tao Ting felt that the whole person was much more sober and happy.

The meal was full of crying and laughing, enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

At the end of the show, Li Xie went to the counter to pay the bill, Tao Ting held flowers and stood at the door with An Jin.

The temperature is getting lower and lower, and when I open my mouth to speak, there is white air, and I don't know if I can expect to see snow in Shencheng this year.

"You like Leon, don't you?" An Jin said coldly.

Tao Ting raised her eyes in surprise, and without waiting for her to answer, An Jin said again: "You don't have to answer me, I just want to ask, I can't hold back my heart." ”

Tao Ting denied in a low voice: "I didn't." ”

An Jin smiled: "You don't have to answer me, whether you like him or not, you know it in your heart." ”

"Who do you like?" Li Xie pushed open the door and came out.

Tao Ting lowered her head and buried her face in the scarf, without squeaking.

"I like you." An Jin said with his throat in his throat.

Li Xie said solemnly: "Don't like me, you are not my ideal type." ”

An Jin sighed.

The mobile phone screen lit up, and Tao Ting said, "My dad is here, I'll go first." ”

"Well, bye-bye."

"Goodbye, friend."

Tao Ting turned back and waved at them as she walked: "Goodbye." ”

Tao Zejun stood on the side of the road, and she trotted all the way over, shouting, "Dad." ”

Seeing that her cheeks were flushed, Tao Zejun asked, "Are you drunk?" ”

Tao Ting shook her head and handed him the car keys.

Tao Zejun laughed and straightened her scarf: "I can't see that your alcohol consumption is okay." ”

Tao Ting grabbed his arm: "It's okay." ”

After getting on the bus, Tao Zejun saw the shopping bag on the seat and asked Tao Ting, "What is this?" You bought it? ”

Tao Ting was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Inside was a men's scarf, and Tao Zejun was pleasantly surprised: "Bought it for me?" ”

"Hmm."

Tao Zejun was so happy that he couldn't wait to take it out and put it on his neck: "Comfortable, is it expensive?" ”

"It's not expensive." Tao Ting took a deep breath to hold back her tears and helped him tie a knot, "It's cold, Mr. Tao must protect his throat." ”

"It's still a daughter." Thinking of something, Tao Zejun flattened the corners of his mouth and asked, "Did you buy it for your mother?" ”

"I bought it, I gave her a new coat last month, you forgot?"

"Oh yes, yes." Tao Zejun put his mind at ease, "It's good to buy it, so that she won't be jealous of me." ”

Tao Ting licked her lower lip, tilted her head to the other side, hid her reddened eyes and said, "Go home, I'm so sleepy." ”

"If you're sleepy, you squint for a while."

Tao Ting closed her eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto her scarf.

The short but fulfilling internship journey has officially come to an end.

The person who wanted to say goodbye the most did not even have a chance to say goodbye.

Chapter 19

There is a long list of books and movies that are written in the to-do list and decided to start reading when they are empty.

Now that she is really free, Tao Ting just wants to lie in bed in a daze.

At the end of the final week, the supervisor sent an email asking them to complete the first draft of their dissertation before the winter break.

Tao Ting felt at ease when she had something to do, she sat at the computer desk every day and wrote a few hundred words, and when her mind was clogged, she put on headphones and listened to songs.

The literature on the bedside table hadn't been opened for almost half a month, and she used to be reluctant to fold the pages, and there was a bookmark in each book, but now they were left in the corner, and no one cared about the dust on the cover.

Tao Ting doesn't like to have her plans disrupted, she doesn't like variables, and when she gets used to a way of life, she will live day after day, year after year, so her hobbies are single but long-lasting.

She hates unfamiliar environments, hates insecurity, hates unknown tomorrows.

But now she hates this timid and wooden self even more, and she doesn't like to live a routine life anymore.

Typing "marketing professional ranking" into the search box, Tao Ting felt at first that she was just idle.

It was only when she browsed through them one by one, and even began to pick up a pen and paper to record, that thought in her heart became clearer and clearer.

Go? Want to give it a try?

Tao Ting looked at the scratch paper in front of her, her heart gradually beating faster, she hadn't felt its existence so vividly for a long time.
