Xiao Jing: Perhaps?
Tuesday, May 16, 2023, cloudy, 22~35°C.
Yanjing Huating.
The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious bedroom.
Pleasant music began to play.
Wearing pink pajamas, Tian Jing turned over and sat up in bed.
After a moment of blankness, I gradually came to my senses.
I chatted with Qing Qing and the others in the group until the early hours of the morning last night, and I felt a bit listless.
The development of events was truly full of twists and turns.
During a quarrel between lawyer Qing Qing and her CEO lover, the enraged CEO directly targeted her law firm.
Just then, a devoted second male lead suddenly appeared.
This was the first time the group members had learned about other boys from Qing Qing, and they were naturally in an uproar.
The second male lead is Qing Qing's classmate from university. He has always had a crush on her but is too afraid to confess because he is not good enough.
Now he has made a stunning comeback, becoming a sunny, handsome, and promising young man, and even a senior executive in the Zhonghua of an international capital firm.
His appearance helped Qing Qing get through the crisis.
To provoke her CEO lover, Qing Qing agrees to accompany the second male lead on a date to one of the country's top restaurants.
Most importantly, this second male lead also has "Male God's Hand," which, according to Qing Qing, are very beautiful.
A cold and domineering CEO vs. a devoted and capable warm-hearted man.
The story reached another climax as group members offered suggestions.
Some people supported the CEO, while others supported Qing Qing's decisive breakup and her embrace with the second male lead.
Tian Jing, on the other hand, is a fence-sitter and can never make up her mind.
If only this CEO also had a pair of beautiful hands, and was a little gentler...
Tian Jing, already engrossed in the story, couldn't help but shake her head, feeling sorry for Qing Qing.
"Buzzing—"
I picked up my Mobile Phone and took a look.
Song: "Xiao Jing, I went to Brocade Business this morning. How about we have lunch together?"
Upon seeing the message, Tian Jing immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, what do you like to eat? I'll make the reservation."
"Anything is fine with me, just do whatever you like."
After a brief chat, we agreed on a restaurant.
Tian Jing hummed a song as she changed into short sportswear. While watching anime, she exercised for half an hour on the Elliptical Machine and treadmill on the balcony.
Eating, showering, skincare, makeup...
After checking the weather forecast, I changed into a light summer outfit in the walk-in closet and sprayed sunscreen on my exposed skin.
She has naturally fair skin, so although she doesn't tan easily, she can still get sunburned and red.
After fixing my hair, I stood in front of the mirror, looked at myself, and nodded in satisfaction.
At her Dad's request, she doesn't dress outrageously during work hours.
Now that he's become the payroll manager, he naturally needs to be even more careful about the impact.
After thinking for a moment, she took out the Bulgari ceramic ring from the jewelry cabinet and put it on her hand.
I grabbed my bag and car keys, ready to head out.
Then I saw my father, Tian Chengye, walk in.
Tian Jing waved Tian Tian, "Dad, I'm going to work now, bye-bye."
"Wait a minute Jingjing." Tian Chengye looked at his daughter and asked gently, "How have things been going with Yu Fan lately?"
"What do you mean, 'how is it'? It's just like that."
"You two have known each other for a long time. Try to have a meal or watch a movie together sometime and communicate more. Although Yu Fan has a bit of a romantic history, he's not a bad person and he's quite capable."
Tian Jing's eyes widened. "Lao Tian, what do you mean? You're willing to sacrifice your precious daughter for your own benefit?"
Tian Chengye quickly reassured him, "That's not true! Your Uncle Liang and I are old friends, and now Yu Fan is your colleague. I just hope he'll take good care of you at work."
Tian Jing said irritably, "No need! I'm not a child, I can take care of myself."
Knowing full well that she didn't like Liang Yufan, she still insisted on pushing him into the company.
"Don't be angry, Jingjing. I was just giving you a small suggestion." Tian Chengye quickly reassured her, "The main reason I assigned Yu Fan to the Investment Relations Department was to have more contact with Smiling Capital, not to force you two to get together."
"I don't care about all this nonsense, I'm not interested in him anyway."
"What about the others? So many outstanding young people have joined the company recently, are there any you're interested in?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Jing blinked and blurted out, "Yes!"
"Who!" Tian Chengye's spirits lifted.
My precious daughter is 22 years old and has never been in a relationship. She is obsessed with anime and manga and speaks in strange ways.
He was afraid that his daughter would develop mental health issues, so he arranged for her to work at the company, hoping she could interact with more people from outside.
Tian Jing said with a grin, "That guy, the Technical Consultant Tang Song, is pretty good. We get along very well, and I even invited him to lunch today."
"Tang Song Dynasties?" Tian Chengye frowned.
I've been hearing this name a lot lately.
Fan Wenzeng of Smiling Capital greatly admired him and was nominated as CTO at the board meeting, only to find out that he had already resigned.
As the company's supervisor, he was naturally aware of the details.
Fan Wenzeng's strong support and Tang Song's own determination ultimately led to the company's leadership compromising and hiring him as Technical Consultant.
Based on the information he received, he didn't have a very good impression of Tang Song. He was indeed a capable young man, but he was somewhat arrogant.
However, without contact, he wouldn't draw any conclusions easily.
After thinking for a moment, she asked directly, "Jingjing, do you like him?"
Tian Jing stuck out her pink tongue and made a face at him. "Maybe? I don't know. Anyway, this is my business, and you can't interfere. Okay, I have to go to work now. Bye."
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.
Soon, the pink Audi A5 drove onto the main road.
Linjin Building.
After parking the car, Tian Jing hummed a song as she got on the elevator, feeling extremely happy.
We'll be meeting Tang Song soon, and we can study palmistry together.
After all, looking at too many photos can get boring; it's much better to touch or pinch them from time to time.
"Ding—" The elevator stopped on the first floor, and many people walked in.
"Jingjing, good morning!" A cool-looking guy waved to her, carrying a motorcycle helmet in his hand.
It's Li Junyi from the Strategic Planning Department.
"Good morning, Junyi." Tian Jing smiled and nodded.
The two exchanged only a few words before the elevator arrived at the 20th floor.
"Morning."
"Good morning, Supervisor Tian and Supervisor Li."
"Good morning."
As you enter the gates of Brocade Business, colleagues greet you with smiles from time to time.
As the start of the workday approached, the office area was bustling with people, including quite a few new faces.
Since Brocade Business received investment from Smiling Capital, it has undergone a large-scale expansion.
The company has already been in contact with the property management of Linjin Building and plans to rent the 19th floor as well.
In addition, many outstanding nephews and nieces of the various shareholders, directors, and senior executives were sent over.
The company suddenly had many more outstanding young people, and the overall atmosphere changed dramatically.
Li Junyi is one of them.
He's handsome, sociable, generous, and a graduate of a prestigious university, making him very popular in the company.
Zhao Yue, who had been keeping an eye on the door, quickly got up and handed over the iced drink she was holding.
The voice said playfully, "Junyi, you rode your motorcycle to work again today? It's so hot, have some cold drinks."
"Thank you, Yueyue, I was a little thirsty." Li Junyi took the money casually and continued chatting with Tian Jing next to him about his weekend trip.
Watching the two figures leave, Zhao Yue gritted her teeth.
It's Tian Jing again! Why does it seem like everyone's eager to fawn over her?
Her mood has been fluctuating lately.
Her attempts to pursue Tang Song were unsuccessful, and his question, "Do you know what Tian Jing particularly likes?", dealt her a heavy blow.
It took me a long time to recover, and I made up my mind to find a better boyfriend to prove that I was right.
Then several young, rich, and handsome men came to the company, which delighted her.
For example, Li Junyi's constant posts about luxury cars, mansions, and other luxury goods on his Moments constantly irritated Zhao Yue.
Moreover, he is a relative of one of the company's High-ranking official.
Compared to him, Tang Song seems insignificant; he is the truly high-quality candidate.
So Zhao Yue immediately set him as her new target, and recently she has been dressing up in a very flashy way every day, and going over to chat with him from time to time.
They get along quite well, and he often replies to my messages at night.
However, once she Tian Jing got together, she immediately became just another insignificant passerby.
What's so great about Tian Jing? She was just born into a good family.
"Little Yue!"
Zhao Yue was startled when someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Hu Mingli sat down next to her.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some work-related problems."
"You're working so hard! Keep it up! The company is growing rapidly, and there will be many opportunities for promotion in the future." Hu Mingli smiled and encouraged them, in a very good mood.
At almost 28 years old, she finally met her benefactor.
With Tang Song as her powerful backer, layoffs will be irrelevant to her, and she can steadily advance to a management position.
The transition from a technical executor to a team Leader will expose her to higher-level individuals, which will be extremely beneficial for her future development.
"Ming Li, Brother Guo, I heard from Hui Hui in the Human Resources Department that Mr. Tang is coming to the company today. Is that true?" a colleague suddenly asked cautiously.
Upon hearing Tang Song's name, Zhao Yue bit her lip, trying to comfort herself, "It's nothing, just a CTO. In the end, I'm still just an employee, and I might get laid off anytime."
The others immediately perked up.
"I've heard about that too; apparently, a contract hasn't been signed yet."
"Does that mean our department will also undergo a major reorganization?"
Guo Peng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard Mr. Mr. Tang mention this."
He's not the type to scheme or plot.
Although he had a good relationship with Tang Song before, the huge difference in their current social status made him unsure how to interact with him, so he hadn't taken the initiative to contact him.
Hu Mingli raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Everyone, get ready. Mr. Tang will be here soon, and we'll have a meeting afterwards."
The colleagues instinctively sat up straight.
Many people were filled with anxiety and regret.
When Tang Song resigned, he invited them to dinner, but they all made various excuses to decline because they were worried that Director Chen would have a problem with them and it would affect their promotion.
I wonder how I'll treat my old colleagues when I come back this time.
