Woman In Irish Linen Shirt

Chapter 28:

We returned along the road to the subway station in the city hall. I don’t think this is a good idea. The last time I took the subway with her was not a good experience. I will only be more eye-catching if I dressed so grandly tonight.

But Miss Pande seemed to have no worries.

We passed through the corridors of the National Gallery again. The changes in the world were terrible, but within two or three hours, everything changed. I really don’t want to humiliate myself and tilt my head to the other side. There is a gray low-rise building directly opposite that is very conspicuous, the exterior wall is very new, but at the same time it reveals a kind of outdated simplicity. I couldn’t remember where it was for a while, and Miss Pande’s voice sounded at the right time.

“That’s SCC, Singapore Cricket Club.” She added, “The food is very good, I think you might have tasted it.”

It turned out to be Kevin’s club. I shook my head: “No, I haven’t been there. Do you play cricket?”

“It seems to have everything now,” she thought for a while, “except that I rarely see cricket.”

I knew that it was an elite club from the colonial era. This kind of thing is also available in the United States. After all, I have been the younger brother of Britain. The idea of “members only” to create a sense of superiority is very familiar. There are fraternities and sororities in some universities, and the cohesion is good. Among them, the outstanding ones can be comparable to the resources of top clubs.

When I look over, my senses are different. It was as if I could smell the copper smell of money through its gray walls, thinking that Miss Pan De must have facilitated many transactions here.

The previous exchanges were really not pleasant, but now I just linger. I can’t think of any way to counter her, but can only follow her movements. This is completely in the rhythm of Miss Pande. She was very kind and did not rush to kill her. Taking this opportunity to get more news in favor of BCG, it fits with the friendly impression she has left me.

-Is it friendly?

I might be like a smart kid.

“I was thinking,” I said, “If you are not a member, it should be difficult to have a meal here.”

I’m thinking about how to hold your neck. I thought to myself.

“Yes, you need a member of the club to invite you, and he himself must be present.” She explained, “After all, this is a place for members to communicate. Bringing guests is considered a benefit, a free lunch in a sense. ?”

I don’t think so: “I’m afraid not. The membership fee should be enough to eat a lot of meals outside.”

“The membership price of an individual member seems to be negotiated privately. The old member decides to transfer out, and then you can buy it from him.”

It’s really a group with a strong elite atmosphere. I didn’t have any reaction on the face. I just said: “So there are more corporate members?”

She looked at me. The night blurred her expression, I only noticed her eyebrows that had become three-dimensional under the street light: it turned out that she had walked to the outside of me. Ms. Pan De pressed her chin in the direction of SCC: “The cricket restaurant has delicious fried kway teow and Hainanese chicken rice. Of course the most famous is the curry broth, but it is only available after 6 pm. I have the opportunity to ask. Do you taste it?”

I didn’t rush to agree or refuse, but just asked: “Is it so delicious? So delicious that you are willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy membership?”

“Like I said,” she blinked, “for me it’s a free lunch.”

Her membership is for the company.

We looked at each other for a moment. I said: “Maybe find a separate time.”

The meal was exchanged by the seller for honor, but it was not cheap. How could I promise so simply.

After returning home, I stayed on the sofa without moving for a long time. After a few minutes, I slowly took off my high heels. I just took off my shoes and went upstairs barefoot in the lobby just now. Only when I met the neighbor who lived on the same floor, I insisted on patience and entered the door.

After the shoe was taken off, I thought it would lose a layer of leather on the heel. As a result, I didn’t say anything about the heel, and there was no blisters on the soles of my feet, but my thumb was somewhat red and swollen. At this moment, he was liberated from the high heels, so sore.

Human resilience is terrible.

I moved my ankles and took off the eardrops. The long skirt was still wrapped around me, huddling me to the cloakroom—the sweatshirts I had taken out were still piled on the ground. I drew the curtains, stretched my right hand to the back of my neck, took a quick-drying T-shirt and put it on my body, and finally started to pack it.

After dragging the living room-I have given up on the second bedroom-after that, I carried the mop back to the bathroom without rinsing, but took off my makeup instead. Normally I rarely do things like this without rules, but the moment I start to clean up, I just want to escape. Of course it is best if I can deal with a little bit of general affairs. Even if the situation changes, I will not be depressed.

I, who had already taken off my makeup in the mirror, matched the quick-drying T-shirt with some lipstick on the neckline. Like a clown.

This matter is my fault.

Who is this person? I am already a partner at a young age. I am still a vase appreciator. Appreciation comes and appreciates, and I stumbled on such a big thing. The boss confessed that it was an impossible task. It was done by luck. I was still complacent, thinking that Miss Pan De was kept in the dark.

This cardinal pretends… I have had a few swear words in my heart, but I don’t want to use it on Miss Pan De.

Is it because I am too lonely?

It’s really not quite right recently, especially these two separate meetings, I obviously can’t find North. Everything went too smoothly. I didn’t have any specific information. I was still obsessed with my illusion and didn’t know it. I thought that there was really a possibility of personal will in this kind of meeting.

Or maybe I shouldn’t be in danger at first. This is not the only way the big boss confessed. Isn’t it done from Lin Yimin’s side? Shouldn’t it be done to BCG?

Why do you have to approach Miss Pande?

I finally know tonight that I was so wrong before.

I can’t play with her. If the opponent is her and I am isolated and helpless, then I must step by step. I took ten steps and she took one step. If things go on like this, I can create such a little bit of opportunity.

As for my heart…

At five or six in the morning, I figured it out. I just owe it-this is a very easy solution. I searched the evaluations of various popular toys and finally bought two of them. I am usually too busy at work, and I hardly thought about it, and there was a “physiological fluctuation” before the menstrual period. From a scientific point of view, now that I am thirty years old, my body should be making the last effort for gene delivery, secreting large amounts of oxytocin: this is probably why I occasionally dare not look at Miss Pande.

Believe in science and don’t think about it.

Thankfully, it is the 21st century. Humans’ animal needs can always be easily alleviated so that they can devote themselves to work.

After completing my purchase, I clicked on the software and sent a message to Jocelyn: “Good morning. Can I see Lisong as soon as possible?”

Jocelyn will never let you know when she is fishing and when she is sleeping again. My message may have been sent in less than five minutes, and she replied: “Good morning. I will arrange it, and there will be a message to inform you. Did you not sleep last night?”

“Woke up by a bird.” I lied. But the birds outside are really noisy. The birds in Singapore may live by fighting.

Jocelyn didn’t greet me again, and replied briefly: “At 10:15, at Zoom, you have half an hour.”

I checked the time, only ten minutes had passed since my first message. It is less than half past seven, and Jocelyn is really a role model for my generation. I was moved to squeeze eight letters up: “Thank you!”

“You can take a nap. Don’t put on makeup, Lisong may be wearing pajamas. Try to learn more video conferencing skills.”

I looked at the news and couldn’t help thinking, and asked: “Are we going to work from home?”

A small number of companies in Singapore have announced that they are working from home. Now, the proportion of Internet companies that do this may exceed half, and we are considered to be lagging behind.

“Still under discussion.”

This is equivalent to saying, “We will do this next week, but now I can’t tell you the truth.” Jocelyn really hurts me, I thought, and then sat up and put on a light makeup.

The big boss wore pajamas as she expected. But because it was the kind of long-sleeved pajamas with lapels and buttons, even though the materials were more homely, he looked a little more formal than usual. Because of Jocelyn’s reminder, I dressed casually.

The big boss drank: “You dressed so neatly on Saturdays.”

I am wearing a denim shirt, denim shirt, thank you.

But the big boss wouldn’t understand this kind of thing. With a business expression on my face, I said, “Thank you. I have heard about what you said before. Is it convenient to report to you now?”

The big boss has no expression: “Just tell me.”

“Okay.” I said, “BCG wants to split and reorganize our company. Assuming that this plan is implemented smoothly, the subsidiary with our department as the predecessor may not be wholly owned by the current company. I judge that we will serve as the entire group. Subsidiary companies survive.”

The big boss put down the water glass. He was still faint, but his voice was much more energetic than before: “Let’s talk about your basis.”

“This is the second point I want to report to you.” I paused for a moment. “BCG Singapore has the right to advise on the senior appointments of subsidiaries, and some positions may even have the right to decide. The person who made the decision on this matter should be Sunny. Ya, she spent so much time on this project of our company, and she should be doing the preliminary preparations for the selection of candidates.”

The big boss nodded and motioned for me to continue.

“Sonia told me about her thoughts on the CEO of a subsidiary company. One of the strange requirements is that the CEO’s business philosophy must be highly unified with the board of directors.” I never mentioned my guesses from this, but Vaguely avoid it, and treat it as an established fact invisibly, and continue, “This is my basis.”

Since it was so much time and energy, and looking for a puppet that can convince the crowd without taking a bite back, it is obvious that there is a serious contradiction between the big boss and the group. The group wants to take away the big boss.

But I can only pretend to be ignorant of this.

“You move very fast.” The big boss said approvingly.

I smiled.

Of course soon, because I have just planted the number one somersault in my career.

“The third and most important point I want to report to you is why Sonia would talk to me about this topic.” After a little bit of color, I went on to say, “I am looking for you in such a hurry today. Regarding the considerations, I hope to ask you as soon as possible-she wants me to respond internally to help implement BCG’s split and reorganization plan.”
