Su He had already had a lot of her salary deducted because of her mistakes at work. Hearing this, she pretended to be angry and turned away to deal with her work.
Song Mai kept repeating Ji Fenghe's words in her mind. He was her senior at work and had taught her many lessons over the past few days.
When it comes to work, Ji Feng is both a mentor and a friend.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own future, and if Ji Feng and Ruo find a better place, I should sincerely wish them well.
Thinking about this, Song Mai felt much more at ease and began to concentrate on her work.
The following week passed uneventfully, and the progress of the new energy project was far more optimistic than everyone had imagined, officially entering the final stage.
As the main person in charge of the project, Song Mai no longer needs to follow up on everything.
Ye Boyan looked at Song Mai in front of him and said with a smile, "You are really an excellent partner. I hope to see you again sometime."
Song Mai was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
He then added, "What I mean is, I hope we can work together on projects again."
"Me too."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ye Boyan got up to leave.
There shouldn't be any problems with the project's finalization; it's mostly just liquidation work.
After seeing Ye Boyan off, Song Mai prepared to go to the project department to report for duty.
While still debating whether to inform Xie Manman in advance, he turned around and found her already standing outside his department.
She leaned gently against the door frame, looking at Song Mai with a serious expression.
"When are you planning to report to the department? I'm already waiting for you."
Song Mai was surprised that Xie Manman would come on her own initiative, and quickly said, "Now is fine."
The other people in the department watched her get up and leave, their eyes filled with envy.
Everyone understands that Song Mai is exceptionally capable, and her recruitment into the project team was entirely due to her hard work. However, the project team offers far better benefits and salaries than her current department, making it a place many people dream of working for.
Su He looked at her with reluctance and said softly, "You must keep in touch with me often in the future. Once you leave, I won't have a work partner anymore."
Song Mai couldn't help but chuckle: "The two departments are just upstairs and downstairs, you can come find me anytime."
Xie Manman looked at the two of them, who looked like two children reluctant to part, and sighed helplessly.
"It's almost time. I'll take you to complete the formalities now."
Song Mai understood the warning in her words, gave Su He a reassuring look, and then got up and left with her things.
Song Mai had imagined what it would be like to come to the project department for the first time. She thought she would see her colleagues racing against time, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped in, fireworks fell on her head.
"Welcome to the project team."
People gathered around, some carrying cakes, others holding signs, creating a lively atmosphere.
Song Mai didn't react for a moment and subconsciously turned to look at Xie Manman.
"They said they wanted to give you a surprise. Luckily you weren't scared, otherwise it would have really been a shock," Xie Manman said, feigning complaint, though a smile was also on her face.
Unexpectedly, the atmosphere in the project team was so harmonious, and Song Mai's anxiety gradually subsided.
She looked intently at everyone, and just as she was about to introduce herself, Xie Manman suddenly interrupted her.
"Everyone knows you. Whether it's the new energy project or the projects you've handled before, we all speak highly of you. Welcome back to the project team. From now on, we'll be family." Xie Manman took the initiative to lead the applause.
Song Mai stopped making excuses and nodded with a smile.
Because of the new energy project, he had already adapted to the work of the project department in advance, and he was able to handle things with ease as soon as he joined the company, without any pauses or setbacks.
Xie Manman was worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt, so she came to check on her twice.
Once he confirmed that Song Mai's abilities were on par with anyone else in the department, he turned and left with peace of mind.
Song Mai breathed a sigh of relief; everything is difficult at the beginning.
If things go so smoothly from the start, it seems there won't be any problems in the future.
Thinking of this, she became even happier.
On her way home after get off work, Ji Fenghe's car slowly pulled up beside her.
The passenger window slowly opened, and Ji Feng's gentle face appeared before Song Mai.
"Let me take you home; it might rain in a bit."
Song Mai glanced at the sunset sky and saw no sign that it was going to rain.
"I happen to have some work to discuss with you, and since I'm going that way, I can give you a ride home."
Hearing this, Song Mai stopped making excuses and slowly nodded.
She gently placed her hand on the passenger door handle, but Chu Xing's image suddenly appeared in her mind.
She frowned instinctively, turned around, and opened the back door.
This sight made Ji Fenghe chuckle softly, and he asked with a smile, "Does your partner have some kind of problem with me?"
Song Mai shook her head repeatedly: "No, I just feel it's a bit impolite to sit in the passenger seat."
"Sitting in the back seat, aren't you really treating me like a driver?"
Song Mai was speechless and unable to defend himself.
Looking at her thoughtful and serious expression, Ji Feng let out a low laugh.
"Just kidding, don't take it to heart. Today is your first day at the project site, how are you feeling?"
Song Mai assumed that he was there to inquire about her work situation as a former supervisor, so she said seriously, "There's nothing wrong, it's just that the atmosphere in the project department surprised me a bit."
"Do you think the project department is a very serious and competitive place?"
This was indeed Song Mai's first thought, but for a moment she didn't know whether she should nod in agreement.
She couldn't be sure if their discussion was a smear campaign against the project team, so she didn't dare to respond rashly.
Ji Fenghe could see through her inner turmoil at a glance and said in a low voice, "You don't need to be nervous. I'm leaving the company soon. I'm not your boss, just a friend."
Making friends with a former boss was a question that Song Mai really didn't know how to answer.
She sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "Actually, I still feel sorry for you leaving. After all, you could have had a better future at Yunxing."
"The future cannot be defined. I have a future here, so how do I know I won't have a future elsewhere?"
These words made Song Mai fall into deep thought, and they unconsciously entered her mind.
So much so that later on, this sentence greatly encouraged her to make important decisions.
"arrive."
Song Mai looked up and realized she was already outside her own door. The smile on her face slowly disappeared the moment she turned her head.
