A group member nodded approvingly, and Lu Xiaoyue said: "This point is quite discussed, but it is not included in the scope of our group's work." Let's go ahead, do you have any other ideas? ”

Tao Ting exhaled, lowered her head and continued to be a listener.

Except for the frightening scene in the elevator in the morning, her first working day at Akane ended with a dull sunset.

When Tao Ting returned to the apartment, Zhou Yao had just gotten up and was looking for something to eat in front of the refrigerator with her head tilted.

"I brought pizza." She put the box on the dining table and went back to the house to change her clothes.

Zhou Yao asked, "You bought it back?" ”

Tao Ting took off her coat, unbuttoned her shirt, and said, "During the company's afternoon tea, the leader asked me to pack and take away everything I hadn't eaten." ”

"How was your first day on the job?" Zhou Yao took a piece of pizza and leaned against the door of her room.

Tao Ting changed into a loose sweatshirt and replied, "It's good, it's just that I touched the boss's buttocks." ”

Zhou Yao thought this was a metaphor similar to "stepping on the tiger's tail", and asked, "How did you provoke the boss?" ”

"I said." Tao Ting sighed, and said with a look of life and death, "I touched the boss's buttocks." ”

Zhou Yao opened her mouth, took away the pizza that had just reached her mouth, and asked, "Literally?" ”

"Literally." Tao Ting closed the closet door.

Zhou Yao tilted her head and looked at her incredulously.

Tao Ting took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and sat cross-legged on the sofa, unwilling to recall the scene.

She went to the interview three times before and after and didn't meet Qianque, but on the first day of employment, she ran into it, she couldn't run away if she wanted to, she couldn't escape if she wanted to, hell.

"You, you, sexually harassed your boss on your first day of employment." Zhou Yao sat next to her.

Tao Ting defended herself: "I didn't mean to. He was like an uncle, neither early nor late, but when I was about to raise my hand, he moved. ”

Zhou Yao asked her, "He didn't see your badge, did he?" Don't be remembered. ”

Tao Ting shook her head, and when she thought about it, he didn't seem to recognize who she was at all.

Tao Ting took out her mobile phone to open Weibo, she hadn't swiped the homepage for a long time, and she found the string of letters in the list of followers.

The last tweet of "nichtmehrda" was half a year ago, and the picture shows a cloud outside the cabin.

It turns out that it has been so long since he returned to China.

She couldn't even remember this person, and he was forgiven for forgetting her.

The marketing department is two floors away from the president's office, and Tao Ting is not high enough to be in the management level for daily meetings.

Xu Linyue is probably the latest person to work in the company, and Tao Ting will never be late.

So even in the same office building, the chances of them meeting each other are very small.

This made Tao Ting barely breathe a sigh of relief.

One day after work, Lee terminated her for a drink, and she shared the news with him.

“Oh my god.” Li Jie's reaction was as Tao Ting expected, "How could he go to a company like Qianque?" Good magic. ”

Tao Ting hooked the corners of her mouth: "Right?" I also think it's magical. ”

Li Xie asked, "Have you talked to him?" ”

"Of course not, what level am I?" Tao Ting picked up the wine glass.

"Leon, this buddy can, they're all in the fashion industry."

Li Jie's tone made Tao Ting laugh, and she asked, "Do you want to jump ship and come over to accompany me?" ”

"I'm not going." Li Xie bluntly refused, "Any company will go bankrupt, but our Bank of China will never go bankrupt." ”

Tao Ting frowned: "Bah, don't curse us." ”

Li Xie laughed and said to her, "Have you seen it?" Norbert's sales have fallen miserably this year. ”

Tao Ting took a sip of wine: "I thought that Leon would go back and turn the tide and recreate brilliance." ”

"Come on, how smart he is." Li explained, "Knowing that when we encounter a hurdle in our work, we have to go over it and then walk and cross it, and that is the best springboard." ”

Tao Ting drank without making a sound.

Although the workload at Qianque is almost twice that of Belle, the work content is much more interesting, and Tao Ting is full of energy every day, and her life is full and steady.

Last week, Lu Xiaoyue asked her to write down her previous thoughts on the International Day for the Elimination of Domestic Violence into a detailed plan, and Tao Ting took an extra shift over the weekend, and showed the written plan to her boss early Monday morning.

"Written?" Lu Xiaoyue took the file and looked at it, "Efficiency is okay." ”

Tao Ting said: "It's just a frame, and it's still relatively rough. ”

"It just so happens that I mentioned it to Mr. Xu last time, and he is very interested and wants to talk to you in person, so you will go upstairs to find him later." Lu Xiaoyue returned the folder to Tao Ting, and threw out a bomb in a flat tone.

Tao Ting's eyelashes fluttered, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Shall I go?" ”

"That's right."

Tao Ting refused: "It's better for you to go!" ”

"Your idea, your planning, of course, it's better for you to go." Lu Xiaoyue told her, "Behave better." ”

Tao Ting tightened her breathing, suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, nodded her head and said, "Okay." ”

Chapter 27

The afternoon sun shone through the glass window on the white tiles, Tao Ting squinted in a stinging light, hugged the folder in her arms, and stepped into the elevator box.

The nails were white because they were tightened too hard, and the rhythm of her heartbeat accelerated with the upward elevator, Tao Ting took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

The twenty-third floor was frighteningly quiet, with the doors of the separate offices closed, and Tao Ting was glad that she was wearing flat-soled boots today, and she wouldn't make much movement when she walked.

She walked down the hallway to the door number that said CEO, and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Hello, I'm coming to Mr. Xu."

The assistant looked up and asked her, "From the marketing department?" ”

Tao Ting nodded: "Yes." ”

"Mr. Xu now has an online meeting."

A smile immediately appeared on Tao Ting's face: "Then I'll ...... another day."

"You go in and wait for him." The assistant is the first to finish the sentence.

"Oh." Tao Ting's eyes suddenly smiled, "Okay." ”

"Just go in."

Tao Ting bowed her head and secretly took a breath when she turned around.

She was all too familiar with the layout of this office, Tao Ting put her hand on the doorknob, but suddenly lost the courage to press it down.

She withdrew her hand and said, "I'll wait for him here." ”

The assistant raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It should be almost over." ”

He stood up, walked over to Tao Ting, pushed open the black door, and said to her, "Come in." ”

Tao Ting walked into the room behind her assistant with the folder in her arms, and she carefully observed her surroundings and found that it was very different from the temporary office in Norbert in the past.

The area is more than doubled, surrounded by light gray wallpaper, a set of dark blue leather sofas in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, no decoration on the wall except for a clock composed of lines, and the coffee table is a metalwork with a cold luster, on which is placed an inappropriate bouquet of oil peonies.

"Boss, someone from the marketing department is here."

"Okay." Xu Linyue tapped on the keyboard and said to his assistant Vincent, "Pour two cups of coffee and come in." ”

Tao Ting's gaze looked beyond the neat desk to the man sitting in the leather chair.

He was wearing a gray shirt with no tie and an unbuttoned collar, and was looking intently at the computer screen.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and he doesn't seem to have changed much, his hair is shorter, neat, and he looks younger.

"You're from Lu Xiaoyue's group, right?" The man asked aloud.

Tao Ting retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes: "Yes." ”

"Plan for me." He looked up.

Tao Ting took a step forward and put the folder in her hand on the table.

The other party's eyes fell on her, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Tao Ting increased her breathing rate in silence, slowly raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and her facial muscles stiffened as if she was unconscious.

"I'm not mistaken, am I?" Xu Linyue stared at the person in front of him and stood up from his chair.

Tao Ting tightened her breathing, subconsciously straightened her back and wanted to step back.

"Really, huh?" Xu Linyue laughed and looked at her with a look of surprise, "Eh, why are you here?" ”

Tao Ting's eyes wandered, as if she didn't understand his question: "Huh? ”

"Why, you don't know me?"

Tao Ting craned her neck and shouted the title she hadn't shouted for a long time: "Leon."

Xu Linyue asked, "Do you know I'm here?" ”

Tao Ting shook her head and denied: "I don't know." ”

"Then why didn't you react at all?" His tone sounded a little lost.

"Me." Tao Ting made up and said, "I was so excited that I didn't react." ”

She grinned twice at the corner of her mouth, and then realized that she didn't know when she had stammered: "You, why did you go back to China?" ”

"I just happened to have a job opportunity coming."

Vincent knocked on the door with two cups of coffee, and Tao Ting quickly took a step back to the side, widening the distance between the two.

Xu Linyue glanced at her, didn't say anything, and as soon as Vincent left, he sat on the desk relaxedly, as if he had met an old friend, and pulled Tao Ting to greet him: "I thought you were going to be a literary editor." ”

He actually remembered.
