subordinate
It must have been accidental... maybe...aaaaa...
Wu Siqi couldn't think of any other reason, so she plugged the monitor back in. The monitor, which was reconnected to the network, adjusted itself twice and made two buzzing sounds.
The black cat ears flapped twice, and the little black cat sheriff, who was eating happily, raised his head and said, "Meow."
Wu Siqi saw a hint of dissatisfaction in its eyes. The purring sound of the cat stopped and its beautiful cat eyes narrowed.
No need to guess, it was the one that deliberately turned on the electrical plug.
Wu Siqi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Not being obedient."
It understood and bent its ears back to look like airplane ears.
Then he lowered his head and ate the can as if nothing had happened.
Wu Siqi was very tired after a busy day and didn't have much energy to care about these trivial matters. He put the power strip in order, took his clothes and went to wash up. The rest time of a office worker is very precious.
After drying her hair, Wu Siqi made herself a cup of hot milk. The tedious work made her a little anxious, and she needed some sleep aid.
When Wu Siqi brought the glass to the dining table, he discovered that it was a mess. The transparent plastic bag containing the bread was torn into pieces, and bread crumbs were flying everywhere like snowflakes.
She turned around to look at the cat baguette curled up on the sofa. As soon as her eyes passed by, the blackened baguette immediately looked back at her as if sensing something. Perhaps it was because of her serious expression, or perhaps it read the cold low pressure in the air.
When cats are embarrassed, they will pretend to be busy doing nothing. The rectangular bag stretched out its hand and began to lick its hand and wipe its face.
What else can I do? It's my fault for sleeping late and being late, and forgetting to put food in her mouth. It's all my fault.
Wu Siqi brought a trash can and a cloth and quickly cleared the table. By the time she was done, the milk had warmed up and was just the right temperature to drink, but she had to wait again.
Because the little black cat Sheriff was licking her milk.
She pinched the cat's neck with one hand and lifted her front paws off the ground unexpectedly. It struggled for a moment before letting her hold it, "Meow uuuuw..."
Glancing at the long scar on its front paw, Wu Siqi put it down softly and said, "Drink it." He turned around and made himself another glass of milk.
What you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. She is a person who has many dreams. Today, she was arguing with the construction team in her dream. When Wu Siqi was woken up by the alarm clock, she was still looking at the blueprints in her dream.
She didn't know how the door of the room was opened. When she woke up, the little black cat Sheriff was sleeping next to her pillow.
An unknown creature appeared before his eyes without any warning, scaring away Wu Siqi's sleepiness.
Wu Siqi turned his head to look at the half-open door, then glanced at the unconscious cat. Why should humans care about Xiao Maomi? As long as Xiao Maomi is happy, that's all that matters, right?
After washing up, Wu Siqi filled the food bowl with food, replaced the water in the water bowl, changed into a dark sweatshirt and jeans that were convenient for work, and went to work with his bag on his back.
This project had to be completed before Saturday, so Wu Siqi and his colleagues went directly to the site for work. The cows would consciously hook themselves to the plows, and the social animals would consciously hang their work badges.
Once Wu Siqi entered the working state, he suppressed his complaining mood and acted as a serious and reliable team leader.
"Teacher, long time no see!"
Wu Siqi was checking details with the workers with the blueprints when a dark figure rushed over and hugged her, startling everyone.
"Tingting!" Wu Siqi pried his hands away from his waist and looked at the young woman in front of him, Xu Tingting, with a displeased look.
Sister Jin looked over when she heard the noise. "Oh, I thought it was someone else. Why are you back early? Didn't you say your vacation would end on the 9th?"
Xu Tingting took the design drawing from Wu Siqi's hand with a smile, "I saw in the group that the teacher is working so hard on this project. I must come back early to help!"
Xu Tingting was a subordinate that Wu Siqi personally trained from an intern. She had taken a dozen days of annual leave some time ago to go back to her hometown to do some work. Her sudden arrival was beyond Wu Siqi's expectations.
Wu Siqi was directing the workers to adjust the position of the ornaments while saying, "You didn't tell me in advance. I was so scared that I almost couldn't stop the elbow I just received."
"Hehe, teacher, how could you bear to hit me?" Xu Tingting asked, holding the design drawings. "Is this the blueprint for the main exhibition stand? Teacher, go do something else. I'll take care of them."
Wu Siqi nodded. "Then I'll leave the booth to you. I'll go discuss the details with the influencers who are warming up the event."
Xu Tingting made an exaggerated gesture as if to show off, "Okay, go ahead."
Xu Tingting is beautiful but not pretentious, smart and clever, and a top student in the Department of Architecture at Nanjing University. Wu Siqi was very confident in handing the job to her. He handed her the drawings and picked up his phone to communicate with the internet celebrity's assistant about the details of the event.
In addition to internet celebrities, this event also invited a band, a relatively well-known band. The client, Mingmei International, specifically asked for them. The band's offer was not low. They love to perform with small brands in a big way. The show will start in a few days, but they have not yet provided a playlist.
The progress was stuck at the stage of filing for commercial performances, and the work could not be advanced. Wu Siqi turned off the screen of his mobile phone, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Don't get angry about other people's mistakes. Your body is your own and the nodules are your own.
Wu Siqi recited this sentence silently to calm his irritability.
This was not the first time that Party A had troubled him by asking for someone by name, and there was no Plan B. Wu Siqi was thinking about how to solve the problem.
"Teacher, what are you worried about?" Xu Tingting brought her a cup of iced latte with a straw already inserted.
He took the coffee and took a deep sip. "Nothing. I just can't get in touch with the band's agent. I'll call again later. How's things going at the booth?"
Xu Tingting smiled brightly, "I'm keeping a close eye on it, but the teacher still doesn't trust me?"
Seeing that Wu Siqi didn't refute her, she continued, "Teacher, should we prepare a Plan B? I checked online, and this band doesn't have a good reputation. They always act like big shots."
"I've also found out about it, but they were specifically invited by Party A, so I didn't dare to prepare a second band. After all, these musicians are arrogant. If it gets out and they know we're having a double act, we'll offend both sides at once." Wu Siqi pinched his brows and felt a headache.
Xu Tingting: "Yeah, oh, so annoying."
Wu Siqi opened her phone and swiped through the address book. She had no idea what to do. "Let's deal with other things first and then deal with him. Let's go, the borrowed speakers have arrived, let's go check them out."
Unfortunately, today's work didn't end until midnight. After pushing open the curtain, Wu Siqi and his colleagues walked out exhausted. The subway had stopped running, so Wu Siqi took out his cell phone to call a taxi.
Xu Tingting raised her hand to cover her phone screen. "Teacher, I drove here today. Let me take you home. Don't take a taxi."
Wu Siqi shook his head subconsciously. "It's already late. It's not good. I have to come back early to start work tomorrow. If you come back and forth, it will be three or four o'clock when you get home."
Xu Tingting dragged her towards the parking lot without hesitation. "Then why don't I stay at your house, Teacher? We can go to work together tomorrow."
There had been a similar situation before. They had just finished an event in another place and took a high-speed train back overnight to attend the kick-off meeting for the second project. Wu Siqi's home was close to the high-speed rail station, so Xu Tingting also stayed at her home for one night.
Wu Siqi was so tired after a day of work that his head was buzzing. He didn't have much energy to argue with her about these issues. He had two rooms in his house, so it was not a big problem to let her stay overnight.
After getting in the car and fastening the seat belt, the car started and Xu Tingting never stopped talking, saying that she was always young and energetic.
Xu Tingting: "Teacher, this construction team is terrible. They made several mistakes and refused to redo the work."
Xu Tingting: "But the teacher is really handsome today. He shocked the foreman with just a few words."
Xu Tingting: "By the way, Teacher, have you contacted that agent yet? I'm really unlucky this time. I ran into all sorts of evil people."
Xu Tingting: "Teacher..."
At the first traffic light, Wu Siqi would still respond to her with "hmm" and "oh", but gradually Wu Siqi became silent. She saw the red light from a distance, stepped on the car lightly to slow down, and when the car stopped, she turned to look at Wu Siqi.
The street lights shone mottledly on Wu Siqi's face, and the cold light made her look even colder. She leaned against the car window and fell asleep.
Xu Tingting turned off the music in the car and turned down the air conditioning. She looked at Wu Siqi with a complicated look and couldn't look away for a long time. It was not until the car behind honked its horn to remind her that the light was green that she came to her senses.
After parking the car in a roadside parking space, Xu Tingting gently woke Wu Siqi up and said, "Teacher, we're here."
"I actually fell asleep." Wu Siqi took a moment to realize that he was in a car, with misty eyes. "Let's go, it's getting late."
Xu Tingting followed Wu Siqi half a step behind, "Teacher, your community's landscaping is really great. My lease is about to expire, and the landlord wants to raise my rent. I want to move. Your community is close to the company, and the takeout nearby is delicious. Does anyone know of a neighbor who's looking to rent out a house?"
"Let me help you check." Wu Siqi thought carefully, opened the community owner group and searched, "There are some, but the units are a bit large, and the rent is probably not cheap."
Arriving home, Wu Siqi put away his phone and swiped open the security door of his apartment building. "But our neighborhood is a bit old. I remember you said before that you like lofts in the new area. The houses here are all large flats."
"I used to like the new district, but now I prefer the old city. It's full of life." Xu Tingting is half a head shorter than Wu Siqi. She took Wu Siqi's arm and walked towards the elevator.
Wu Siqi: "They're all pretty much the same."
Xu Tingting chuckled and pressed the key for the 6th floor in advance, "Teacher, I remember it."
After walking out of the elevator, Wu Siqi took the opportunity to pull his arm away without leaving a trace while taking the key.
Wu Siqi turned the screw to open the security door, and the old door creaked.
"I forgot to tell you that I picked up a cat a few days ago. I remember you are allergic to dog hair. Are you allergic to cat hair too?"
After opening the door, Wu Siqi remembered that there was an injured little cow cat at home.
Xu Tingting stuck to her back and peeked in. "Maomao is not good, the teacher is still such a good person, always rescuing stray animals, where is the kitten?"
"Meow!"
The little black cat Sheriff squatting in front of the door arched his back and spread his tail.
