Volume 1: The Girl and the White Dragon Chapter 10: Coffee and the Girl
"If you don't leave, the last train and subway from the company will be gone. I reminded.
"ButγBut I still haven't finished more than half of it.,The leader of the group said that I had to finish these things today.γ β
Apparently the intern girl also realized this, and she was already crying in a hurry.
"Huh, let me see what the hell you're going to do. β
I really don't want to help, but if this girl misses the bus from the company, it will bother me to let her stay in the company this night, and it is not safe for a girl to go back alone late at night, so it is best to go back quickly while there are still some people.
"Okay, Senpai. β
When she saw me coming, she obediently gave up her position.
I sat down in my still warm chair and began to move my mouse to look at the project files and specific instructions that the team leader had sent her.
"It's... It's not a newcomer at all, is it?"
I finally understood why she was so late, and she had to deal with a headache for even a veteran like me.
"Uh, well, it's really hard, I thought it wasn't good enough. β
The intern said softly, she seemed to be a lot more relieved when she saw my skillful operation, but her tone was still extremely cautious and panicked.
"Well, you're really not good enough. β
I unceremoniously pointed out that this is actually the truth, if this intern had two or three years of programming experience, she would not be so distressed at all.
"Hmm......"
My unrelenting remarks made her look quite devastated.
And I continued: "But it doesn't matter, everything is done from scratch, haven't you already done all the exercises for today?"
I looked at the newbie parts of the screen, and she did it all, and she did it well, at least I watched it two or three times and didn't see anything missing.
"Yes. β
"That's fine, let's go back!"
I waved my hand at her and told her to get out of the way.
"That, those jobs ......"
"I'll just do it. β
"Don't you have your own ......"
"I'm done with my early, go back!
"Okay, okay. β
In the face of my incomprehensible attitude, the intern had to accept it, and she bent down next to me to arrange some of her things on the table, while I sat back in my chair to make room for it.
At this time, I smelled a sweet fragrance from her, but it was not the jasmine fragrance I was familiar with, and I felt a little inexplicably lost.
"Goodbye!"
The intern girl with the pink cloth satchel on her back turned to me and nodded respectfully goodbye as she walked to the door.
"Hmm. β
I nodded, but I didn't look at her, my eyes still on the code on the screen, my hands bouncing quickly on the keyboard.
The intern girl gently took the door and left the company.
I was busy for a long time that night, and by the time I was all done, I found that the sun had risen outside.
With a sore back and listlessness, I went to a nearby breakfast shop to eat a few steamed buns and went back to sleep on my stomach.
But then I learned that the project that the intern girl encountered that night was actually our reckless team leader who sent her the content he was responsible for.
And he was shocked when he realized that all these difficult work contents had been completed, and he hurriedly asked the intern sister how it was done, and the intern girl wanted to say that I solved it, but I immediately coughed when I had been listening with my ears pricked up, and the intern girl who knew how to do it said that she stayed up late to complete it herself.
I nodded in satisfaction, I didn't want to be weird about any rumors, and I didn't want to meddle in more things.
After all, since I helped my intern and set this precedent, it would be difficult for me to refuse if other colleagues asked me for help.
And in this way, the team leader has also changed a lot of opinion of her, and she has become much more patient in teaching, and after dealing with difficult content, she has also gained a lot of experience in dealing with the next topics, at least she is no longer as confused as she was at the beginning.
After that, she would still work overtime until there was only time left for the two of us, and then she would come to me with her full notebook and ask me questions one by one that she hadn't understood during the day.
Originally, I was very refused, but when you think about it, my personal time is not very precious.
And those who are eager to learn are good children!
So I slowly taught her my experience over the years, after all, I was also semi-self-taught in programming, and my talent in this area was not particularly good, and the intern girl happened to be the same, and my methods and understanding ideas were applicable to her.
And she also asked me if I could apply to change the mentor from the group leader to me.
But I refuse.
Although it is tempting to teach a soft and obedient junior, I and the team leader Honjing Water do not violate the river water, and once we do this, there will be conflicts.
If he succeeds in bringing an intern, it will be of great help to his performance and style, and I have no interest in the sign of "excellent employee", I just want to fish happily every day.
And the level progress of the intern sister does have a lot of his credit, and I am in a good mood to open a small stove for the intern girl for half an hour, and it is really not appropriate to suddenly snatch the other party's results.
In this way, the intern girl was taught by the group leader during the day, and I was responsible for in-depth explanations at night.
"PleaseβPlease don't ...... like that"
One day, as I walked down the company hallway with my coffee, I felt as if I had heard the voice of an intern girl.
I searched for the sound, and sure enough, in the remote corridor, I saw the intern girl being forced to retreat to the corner by a man, and the man's back was still very familiar.
Yo, isn't this the team leader?
I had already felt that the young team leader was interested in the intern, and he always paid attention to her very eagerly, and he always deliberately got close to her when instructing.
Even if I let me evaluate, the intern girl is also a cute and well-behaved girl, the round retro glasses make her melon seed face look very beautiful, and the technical department is basically a man, and the few women are also married and old, and they always love to have a straight face, like my former homeroom teacher.
So it's normal for the singles in the technical department to have this thought, but it's shameful for this guy to take advantage of his position.
It is precisely because this guy has some ghost thoughts that the sensitive intern girl can't ask so many questions and comes to me instead.
And now the level of the intern girl is not much different from the average regular job, I feel that I have nothing to say to her, and she doesn't need the team leader to give her guidance.
The team leader is estimated to be a little impatient because of the estrangement of the intern girl recently, so he made this move.
But as a senior who is responsible for guiding the younger generation, this kind of behavior mixed with personal desires really should not be.
Should I stand up at this time?
Although I didn't really want to get into trouble, especially for a woman who always made me feel troubled, it made me even more reluctant.
But the girl's expression was as if she was about to cry, and there was nothing she could do.
Alas, don't force people! You bastard!
I cursed in my heart, but I didn't want to cause trouble, if I stood up now, I would fight against him with a background and a love of fitness, and I would only suffer.
It's a reasonable choice to turn around and leave.
But I've decided that I want to help, so let's do something about it?
So I turned my gaze to the coffee cup in my hand, which was smelling mellow.
I'm sorry, Big Brother Coffee!
Thank you for being with us these days!
I sadly raised the coffee cup in my hand and slammed it to the ground!
Bang dang!
The sound of porcelain shattering made a loud noise in the empty hallway.
"Huh?!"
The two people in the corridor were immediately frightened, and the intern girl who reacted took the opportunity to push away the panicked man and fled with a long skirt.
When I saw this, I quickly walked out of there, and when I returned to my desk, I immediately buried my head in the computer again, pretending that nothing had happened.
Sacrificing a cup of coffee, as well as your beloved coffee cup, let's hope it's worth it......
I thought so.
I'm too stupid to meddle again.
After that, the team leader and the intern girl never seemed to speak again, and there was an awkward atmosphere between the two that was visible to the naked eye.
I bought a new one after losing my beloved coffee cup, but I always felt that there was a lack of taste, I stopped drinking coffee, and the time I spent fishing began to decrease, and I put more energy into my work, and it didn't matter if I was working day jobs or not.
I need something to keep me focused, and it's a pleasure to play with code, and it's not hard to get through time accidents if you don't treat your work as a job.
The intern girl can already participate in the programming work of the company's regular projects on her own, she does not need anyone to guide her to do the work at hand well, and the only experience she lacks is that she can accumulate it slowly, which is not difficult.
Young people, shouldn't the most important thing be time?
So even if I don't do anything, the intern can survive the internship period and become a regular employee in the company, and she has the ability and qualification.
The team leader gave me some small projects, and I continued to work overtime until late at night when I had nothing to do, of course, I was actually boarding in the office, even if I didn't fish too often, the projects I was responsible for had already been completed, and I found and fixed the bugs in the development program, and optimized several upgraded versions.
And these are the results of my boredom, other colleagues seem to call me a "workaholic", in fact I still feel like a "fishing demon".
Who made me realize that I actually have no other activities that allow me to concentrate except for work, and I can't always fall asleep when I want to.
This allows me to work more than anyone else, even if I find a way to have fun at work.
And the intern girl who is about to spend the internship period is still the one who has been in the company for the second time after me, and her performance must be described as good, and I feel that it is a pity that the company does not recruit this employee.
"Brother Lu, I'm going back, aren't you going back today?"
When I was squinting at the tadpole-like characters on the computer, and my whole consciousness was blurred, the voice of the intern girl suddenly came to my ears.
The intern sister doesn't call me senior now, but calls me Brother Lu or Brother Lu, I am indeed older than her, and I am a senior in the company, of course I can afford it.
I regained consciousness at the shouts of my intern, and I turned my head and replied, "Yes, I'm still here today." β
"Will you go back tomorrow?"
"Well, go back. β
I nodded in response. I've been here for a few days on end, and I can't take a shower, which causes me to itch a little, and I've been wearing my clothes for a few days, so I should go back and change my clothes and take a hot shower.
"Do you have time tomorrow?"
"Hmm... Yes......"
I successfully completed the tasks assigned by the company ahead of schedule, and I was in a state of salting fish until I asked for new tasks, so that my time can be said to be everywhere.
Tomorrow is a day off, so I really don't have a reason to stay busy at the office.
"Do you have anything to look for me?"
I'm curious, this seems to be the first time the intern girl has asked someone, and the object is actually me.
The intern pursed her lips and said as if she had made up her mind, "I want to treat you to a meal." β
"Huh, it's not necessary, right?"
I was a little confused, being invited to dinner by my sister was indeed the first time I encountered it.
The intern girl blushed and said, "Just take it as my thank you for taking care of you these days!"
"Uh, it's just a gesture, and someone else would do the same. β
The intern girl is a very easy person to understand, she blushes when she is nervous, and her thoughts always like to be written on her face.
But now I can't figure out what she's thinking, and I've always done what I did to her as a pastime for myself, without thinking about it or needing anything in return.
The intern just shook her head at my words, and then she said loudly, "Anyway, that's it! I'll call you tomorrow." β
"Well, good. β
I agreed, and I watched my intern's back as she walked away quickly, listening to her vain steps, a little worried about whether the reckless guy would wrestle.
By the way, how did she know about my call?
I haven't given her her contact information, have I?
I glanced at the smartphone in my hand and immediately gave myself a slap on the forehead.
What age is this, not to mention that my phone number is clearly written on the staff list, and she and I have also added a few common work groups.
The intern girl wants to contact me, and there is a way.
That's it, there's nothing to do anyway, so I'll go back early today......
When I got home, I took a hot shower and cleaned the whole house, wiped the dust and put everything in order.
As a result, I'm still in good spirits, and I want to sleep in the office.
When I'm bored, I turn on the computer, and I don't have the heart to work, so I want to read the boring novel links saved in my favorites for a while.
Suddenly, at the bottom of the favorites, I saw a link with a note called "To Dear You and Me".
It's not a novel, it's a web page I created before.
It is used to upload the daily life of Ru Yan and me. Photos,Logs,Trivia chats,Chat logs,That's probably all these things.,I spent a little effort on the web interface.,It's pretty fine and gorgeous.,When you click on the web page, it will automatically play the music box music that we both like.γ
There are only two of us with editing permissions, and although the viewing rights are public, our link is not easy to find, and generally no one will come in to see it.
The web page itself is intended as a treasure trove of our memories of each other, and as a memoir when we are old.
Of course, I didn't have the heart to read this page, but I thought maybe she would share her latest situation on this page.
Since then, we have blocked each other, so to speak, completely cut off the news, although I miss her very much, but I will not embarrass her, and I believe that she will not regret her decision in the first place.
But I'm really curious about her current situation.
So I clicked on this webpage and searched for the content directly by time, but I found that the content on the webpage was not updated at all, and even the comments we wrote under the content were a year ago.
"Alas... Really?"
I sighed and muttered to myself.
"What the hell am I looking forward to......"
And when I wanted to close the webpage, I suddenly realized that I still had background permissions, and I could see if there were any changes to the background data.
"Huh?!"
After opening the backend interface, an abnormal statistic made my eyes widen immediately.
17431 views.
When did our private web page get so many views?
Who is so boring? Watching others sprinkle dog food every day.
I yawned, didn't think much of it, and went back to bed.
In the evening, I arrived at the door of the restaurant on time according to the agreement with the intern girl.
"Brother Lu, this way!"
"Uh, have you been waiting for a long time?"
When I saw my intern sitting in her seat and greeting me, I thought I was late, but when I looked at the time, I realized that it was just right.
"No, I just arrived. β
Well, just arrived... The dishes on the table are all ready, and they have just arrived.
I glanced at the plates of hot dishes on the table, and the intern who was nervous at first glance, and decided not to poke her.
"Are you alone?"
I looked around and saw that there was really no one else around me who wanted to serve the table.
I originally thought that the intern girl wanted to meet with a man who was not very familiar, so I called me, a barely reliable senior, and for this reason, I also specially dressed thickly, so that my thinner self looked stronger.
"Uh? I must have said that I was inviting you to dinner, right?"
The intern looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what I meant.
"Ha, it's okay, then I'm welcome. β
I sat down across from her with a big grin, and chewed on a piece of fat and thin pork belly with chopsticks in my mouth.
"Well, a lot of good food, do you come to this shop often?"
The taste is really great, of course, I eat very simple all year round, and a little better food can make me feel delicious.
"Hah, I asked the owner what they recommend here. β
"And then you're all ordered?"
I glanced at the hearty menu at the full house, and it was obvious that there would be more than two people could eat.
"Hmm. β
"It took a lot, didn't it?"
"It's okay, didn't we just get paid?"
"How much is your internship salary? β
"No, no, it's all said that I'm in for a treat. β
Since the intern girl has such a resolute attitude, I can only be respectful and obey my fate.
But with so many dishes, it's a bit of a waste to eat just two people, and of course there's nothing to be done now. If it had been before, I might have packed some for this table to go home and... Eat together.
Tut!
The intern girl asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Brother Lu, your face seems to be a little bad. β
"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat together, the food is going to be cold. β
I smiled, trying to calm myself.
I thought of her again.
When I was with another girl, I still didn't get rid of her.
I've swept her shadow into the corner of my memory, but yesterday I remembered her again, and now I am afraid it will take some effort to regain my composure.
