Beijing, after all, has nothing to do with me

Chapter 16 Surprise inspection of parents (1)
On Monday, Tao Jie returned to her original track.

When seeing Alice again, Tao Jie felt as if she hadn't seen her for a long time. Although it was not friendly, she still took the initiative to say hello to her.

Alice also stopped being weird with her, and her tone was almost a bit sad, "Betty called me and told me, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Tao Jie then asked: "Did she say when she will come back to work?"

"No." Alice rolled her eyes, "I must have a rest for a while! Oh, by the way, she said that if you have any difficulties, you can ask me."

Tao Jie saw that she was putting on a superior posture again, so she didn't bother to answer her, so she smiled perfunctorily and sat back in her chair.

Near noon, Betty called her. Her voice was hoarse, but she was no longer emotional and seemed a little weak. She told Tao Jie that she planned to take a half-month vacation to be with her father. Vincent had already approved it. She let Tao Jie Jie adjusted the time of several courses, and then sent her the latest schedule.Although on vacation, Betty promised to check the mail regularly every day.Tao Jie listened and recorded, lamenting in her heart that she is a superwoman, and no big things can stop her passion for work.

"How was the training in Suzhou?" Betty asked her.

Tao Jie briefly reported the situation to her, and emphasized Mai Zhiqiang's contribution, "The evaluation scores are also good, and each item is kept above 4.3 points." She told Betty happily that the head of this morning One thing is to calculate the score, and their target score is 4.2.

"Oh, that's right!" Betty said quietly, hearing the voice was not joyful, but rather sour.

Tao Jie was a little dazed by her unsalty attitude, and then realized that she had forgotten that Betty is a woman who needs a sense of presence. Without her, everything would still work well. For her , is not something to be happy about.

The displeasure was only a momentary thing, and Betty quickly recovered her professional attitude, "You find time to apply for a thank you award to Mr. Mai, although he may not care about it, but this is our intention, you can apply in the system Just tell me, I will go online to approve."

Tao Jie agreed, and recorded the other odds and ends that Betty ordered, and finally ended the call.

Tao Jie browsed through the training plans of various departments for the next month. In addition to collecting a few items of data and urging several project trainings to be carried out regularly, she only has one intermediate training to hold, and the lecturers have been contacted beforehand. There was not much pressure, so she adjusted the plan a little bit and removed Betty's responsibility. As long as the replacement was confirmed, this month would be easy to pass, and as far as she knew, there were several lecturer candidates for those courses. .

After the trip to Suzhou, Tao Jie felt much calmer than before, no longer worrying about gains and losses over trivial matters, and being nervous for a long time. As long as she makes careful arrangements, there is always a solution.

After lunch, Tao Jie returned to her seat, and Alice called her from behind.

"Just now Betty called again. She said that you should have nothing serious to do in the next month. I have several trainings to do here, and there is a large meeting in Sanya. She asked me to ask you for help!"

Tao Jie blinked her eyes a few times. Although she was not impressed by Alice's tone of voice, Sanya was attractive to her, so she nodded readily. At the same time, there was a trace of doubt in her heart. Alice didn't seem very happy. look.

"The meeting time is next Thursday to Saturday." Alice said as she handed a list to her. "Here is the list and schedule of the meeting. You should confirm the people first, and then book a hotel for them." If you have any questions, please come to me alone."

Not long after, Betty called Tao Jie again. This time, she sounded in a much better mood. After explaining the few small things she missed in the morning, she added: "Alice has a big meeting in hand, is it For the annual evaluation of BR training, all the employees attending the meeting are above the manager level. I am afraid that she will be too busy alone, so I want you to help her, and organizing this kind of meeting is also very useful for your own experience. The good thing is that as long as you have experienced it once and figure out its organizational process, you can also independently act as the organizer of the meeting in the future.”

Tao Jie hurriedly said: "Alice has already told me that I will cooperate with her."

Betty was very happy, "Tao Jie, in fact, your ability is quite strong, but you lack some experience. Participating in various occasions will help your career development. Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it when I come back. "

This is the first time Tao Jie has heard her boss praise herself so bluntly since she entered BR, and she immediately felt warm in her heart and felt refreshed all over.

Alice happened to pass by her, and her wary eyes swept across her beaming face indifferently.

It took three days for Tao Jie to finally confirm the participants and the hotel. Colleagues who participated in the meeting came from all over the country. Many people who did not reply to emails in time, Tao Jie had to call to confirm. Most of them were interested in improving BR Issues such as the quality of training are not very interesting, and they often say perfunctorily, "It has been done very well!" But when they heard that it was opened in Sanya, they all became excited again. Tao Jie suddenly realized why Alice chose Hainan as the location up.

Before getting off work, Tao Jie met Mai Zhiqiang unexpectedly in the corridor. Because of the trip to Suzhou, the distance between the two suddenly narrowed a lot. At least Tao Jie thinks so, so seeing him feels very cordial .

"Mr. Mai, why didn't you go to the meeting in Sanya?" She asked him half angrily and half curiously.

Mai Zhiqiang was originally invited, but he recommended one of his subordinate managers to replace him.

"There just happened to be a special meeting, which has been scheduled long ago. It will take a week, and we can't adjust it." Although Mai Zhiqiang spoke with a smile on his face, his tone was indifferent, which made Tao Jie a little embarrassed, as if taking his own hot face Go stick someone's cold ass.

After the two passed by, Tao Jie couldn't help but look back at his back. For some reason, she felt that his back looked a little lonely.

The days when the boss is not in the office, the time flies by likewise, and it is the weekend in a blink of an eye.

Tao Jie finished the intermediate training course in hand, had a hasty dinner in the company restaurant, and then went home slowly.

In order to help Alice prepare the details of the meeting, she often works overtime now. Anyway, she will have dinner alone when she goes back, so it is better to work overtime and settle the dinner at the company by the way, which is economical and affordable.

In the company, as long as you want to do it, you will worry about trivial things.If the boss sees it, he will like you very much, but it's a pity that Betty is not here.

Back in the deserted rented room, Tao Jie changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed after a brief wash. She read a book for a while under the dim white light. She was very tired today, listening to the loud speakers all day, and just wanted to enjoy a moment of peace.

Li Yaoming has been working overtime more diligently recently, and he comes back later every day.But even if I came back early, I had nothing to say to Tao Jie. I never mentioned the word "entrepreneurship" that I used to talk about, and I often fell asleep, very dull.

Since that quarrel, it seems that a layer of separation has suddenly been added between the two, and they have to carefully avoid certain minefields to avoid more intense disputes.

Tao Jie understands that all quarrels related to money are very hurtful. She couldn't help being soft-hearted several times. People can be happy, and the current relationship is really aggrieved, but when she sees his depressed and deliberately depressed face, she can't open the mouth anyway, and feels that if she really does that Yes, it is too cheap.

What is she here for?Of course it was for Li Yaoming.But what did he give back to himself?

In such scrutiny, the ice of estrangement between the two is getting thicker and thicker.Everyone is waiting, waiting for the other party to break the ice first, and no one is willing to take the initiative.

Distraughtly flipping through a few pages of the novel, but failing to read a few words, the cell phone next to the pillow rang.

Tao Jie first thought it was Li Yaoming calling, but when she opened the cover, it turned out to be her father's number, and the routine inspection came again.

As soon as the phone was connected, her father asked her the first sentence, "Xiaojie, your address is No. 95, XX Road, Wanquanzhuang, right?"

Tao Jie was puzzled, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"But there's no such number on that road!" There was a bit of noise on the other end of the phone, as if it was the sound of a locomotive running.

Tao Jie frowned, more and more puzzled, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Can I not inquire? I'm in Beijing now, and I'm on my way to where you live! Your mother is with me."

"Ah?" Tao Jie's shock was not trivial, she almost rolled off the bed, she jumped out of bed in a panic, looked for slippers everywhere, and even put her left and right feet on backwards in a panic.

"Dad, you, why did you come to Beijing? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I, I wasn't prepared for this at all!" Tao Jie wandered around the room.

"It's not your mother, you want to save face, don't let me tell you!" Dad was teasing on the phone, and he was in a good mood, probably because he thought he would see his precious daughter soon, and there was a shrill female voice vaguely, Xi Suosuo, seems to be complaining, it must be mother.

Tao Jie is like facing an abyss, there is nothing more terrifying than a surprise inspection by her parents, but until now, she can't send them back home.

"Then, where do you live today?" Tao Jie stammered, "I, my place is too small, you guys, you can't live here."

"Don't worry about it!" Dad said, "We just came out of the hotel, and the room has been booked. But the driver seems not very familiar with the area where you live, or I will give him the phone, you and He said how to go?"

A strange male voice came from the mobile phone very quickly. It did not sound like old Beijing. It turned out that he had been driving around the periphery of Wanquan Village. The place where Tao Jie and the others lived was indeed a bit tortuous. She confirmed it with the driver. After a few key road signs, the driver slowly turned the corner.

Abandoning the phone, Tao Jie changed clothes as quickly as possible, and hid all the things related to Li Yaoming in the corners and cabinets in the room. If her parents saw the evidence of their cohabitation, Tao Jie really couldn't imagine what they would be like expression.

Time was running out, and she was in a hurry to destroy all kinds of suspicious traces, when she suddenly remembered that she should call Li Yaoming, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if the two sides collided!
After dialing Li Yaoming's number, Tao Jie didn't bother to be angry, and directly explained the purpose of her visit. Li Yaoming was taken aback, feeling guilty, but still kept his mouth shut, "Anyway, we will meet sooner or later, and it's okay to meet now. "

Hearing his unsalty tone, Tao Jie was furious immediately, "If you are not afraid of being scolded, you can come back!"

When standing in the middle of the room angrily, Tao Jie realized that Li Yaoming would not be scolded at all when he came back, because her parents are not the kind of people who can be aggressive, and her attitude towards Li Yaoming just now was a bit too much. Obviously, she put All the tension and uneasiness in my heart were passed on to Li Yaoming.

There was a flash of light outside the car window, and Tao Jie's heart tightened immediately. He leaned over the window glass and looked out like a thief. After a while, he saw two familiar figures getting out of the car, and his father was still polite to the driver. She waved goodbye eagerly, and the mother who got out of the car first couldn't wait to look at the surrounding environment. Under the white street lights, Tao Jie's face twisted when she saw her frown tightened.

After a knock on the door, Tao Jie stood by the door, took two heavy breaths, then stretched out her hand and forcefully opened the door, with a smile on her face to cover up the embarrassment and embarrassment from the heart, "Dad , Mom, cough, you guys are here!"

Dad stepped into the door first and looked at her with a smile, "Xiaojie, you seem to have lost weight!"

"Really?" Tao Jie touched her face embarrassingly, "I didn't think it would be a good thing to lose weight."

Her mother glanced at her reproachfully upon hearing this, and Tao Jie immediately sensed that her mother's anger towards her had completely disappeared from this look, so she took a step closer to her mother, tugged at her arm, and called out coquettishly. ,"mom--"

Mother's heart softened, she sighed, her eyes turned from the old indoor facilities to Tao Jie's face, "Why do you live in such a broken place?"

"It's okay!" Tao Jie tried to explain with a smile: "The location here is good, and it is convenient to go out and go to the city. This is Beijing!"

"That's true!" Dad immediately chimed in, "It's pretty good here. Just now when the car drove over, I saw that Tsinghua University and Peking University are nearby!"

"What's the matter!" Mom snorted, "She didn't come to Beijing to study, what's the use of being close to the school? Tsk tsk, the environment here is too bad!"

Dad winked at Tao Jie vigorously, Tao Jie understood, and hurried inside with her arms around her mother, "Come on, don't just stand and talk, come in and sit. Mom, are you tired from the plane ride all the way?"

As soon as her parents sat down on the sofa, Tao Jie immediately found two clean teacups from the cabinet and poured them two glasses of water. These cups were the ones she liked to buy in the supermarket when she first came here, but she didn't expect them to come in handy today. , There is no tea. Fortunately, my mother always advocates drinking boiled water, which is clean and healthy.

"How much did it cost you to rent this place?" Mom was still chasing after financial issues.

"More than 1000." Tao Jie handed the water cups to her parents respectively.

The cup was a little hot, the two of them took it and wanted to put it down casually, but there was nowhere to put it, so Tao Jie quickly took the cup for them and put it on the dining table, "Let's drink it when it's cool."

"Look, Xiaojie has been exercising outside for half a year, and she is much more capable than when she was at home." Dad looked at the simple but clean room and said to his mother with a smile.

Mom snorted noncommittally.

Tao Jie glanced at her father gratefully, and when her gaze passed over the edge of the sofa, she suddenly found a gray object protruding from the foot of the sofa. It was Li Yaoming who changed his stinky socks. He always liked to sit on the sofa and put on his socks and change his shoes.

This discovery made Tao Jie gasp, annoyed that she had missed such an embarrassing evidence in the haste of cleaning just now!
The sock was just under her mother's heel, only a few centimeters away from her shoes. Tao Jie thought restlessly that she had to find a way to destroy the damn pair of stinky socks.

"How much is your monthly salary?" Mom's cross-examination continued.

"Huh? Oh, more than 2000 yuan."
