Chapter 163 Goodbye, Manager Pei
MAX looked at Pei Song aggrievedly, then glared at TOBY, and then pressed the communication button on the ground: "I want a hug."
"Silly boy," Pei Song hugged it in his arms, "you will always be our most caring little cotton-padded jacket."
MAX then lay contentedly on Pei Song's legs, wagging his tail intermittently.
It glanced at TOBY from time to time, its eyes full of disdain, as if saying: "This is my territory."
"Look at you," Pei Song looked at Shi Yanchen helplessly, "You're already an adult, and you're still showing off to your dog."
"I'm so happy," Shi Yanchen said with a smile, "Of course I have to let MAX know about the gift you gave me."
"Are you childish?" Pei Song scolded with a smile.
MAX took the opportunity to press another button: "Song Song is the best." This is one of the several buttons that Shi Yanchen recorded with his own voice.
"Yes, yes, Songsong is the best," Shi Yanchen leaned over and kissed Pei Song's cheek, then bent down and said to MAX, "But you also have to learn to get along well with TOBY."
MAX groaned twice, as if to say "No way".
"If you don't behave," Shi Yanchen said deliberately, "I will let TOBY sleep with us."
MAX immediately got furious, rushed between the two of them, and pushed Shi Yanchen away with his body.
"Okay, okay," Pei Song couldn't help laughing, "That's enough for you two." He rubbed MAX's ears, "Don't worry, no one can take your place."
At this time, TOBY walked in front of MAX, his eyes flashing with a gentle blue light, and a line of words appeared on the screen: "Nice to meet you, MAX."
MAX stared at the screen warily for a moment, seemingly considering how to respond to this robotic companion.
Finally, it slowly stretched out its paw and gently touched TOBY's nose.
"Look," Shi Yanchen said with a smile, "they are already getting familiar with each other."
Pei Song looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking his head: "You really know how to cause trouble for me. MAX is noisy enough, and now there is a robot dog."
Shi Yanchen put his arm around his shoulders: "TOBY can play with MAX, so you don't have to worry about him being lonely."
When MAX heard this, he immediately pressed two buttons: "I want a hug, I like Songsong the most."
"Jealous," Pei Song poked its nose with a smile, "Who do you look like?"
Shi Yanchen pretended not to understand the implication of this and turned to tease TOBY: "Come on, show MAX what you can do."
TOBY immediately demonstrated various difficult moves, from spinning in place to backflips, all in one go.
MAX was stunned and his tail stood up unconsciously.
"How is it?" Shi Yanchen asked proudly, "Is it better than you?"
MAX stood up unconvinced and began to show off his unique skills.
It first stood up and turned around, then stood on its hind legs, and finally performed a "high five".
Pei Song couldn't help laughing: "That's enough, you two. You've inspired MAX to perform a talent show."
Shi Yanchen, however, enjoyed it: "MAX finally has a 'kindred spirit' to learn from."
…
Three years later.
The International Financial City project won the annual innovation gold award at the Global Fintech Summit.
This award, known in the industry as the "Oscar of Fintech", is extremely important. The jury highly praised the project's perfect combination of technological innovation and commercial application.
In particular, the project's original cross-border payment solution has transformed traditional transactions that took several days into instant payments, completely changing the industry ecosystem.
The night view of SNK's top-floor restaurant is still charming. Pei Song stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at this glittering city.
When he first came here four years ago, he was just a restaurant owner who knew nothing about financial technology.
Today, he is able to independently manage projects worth hundreds of billions of yuan and lead the team to make continuous breakthroughs.
Jin Shuning came over with a glass of champagne and said, "Manager Pei, no, I should start calling you President Pei."
"Don't be so distant," Pei Song said with a smile, "No matter where I am, I will always be your colleague."
"We have been very grateful to Manager Pei for the past two years," said Wang, the head of the operations department. "Especially after Mr. Shi gave him full responsibility for the project, he led us to explore step by step and never gave up on any team member."
"Manager Pei, this is a greeting card prepared by us girls." Lin Lin handed over a stack of carefully decorated cards with red eyes and whispered, "Although I know that you and Mr. Shi..." Her voice was a little choked, "I still hope you can accept our heart."
Pei Song took the card and smiled gently: "Thank you everyone. To be honest, I didn't have much confidence when I first transformed from catering to financial technology. It was your tolerance and support that helped me find a new direction step by step."
He looked around at the familiar faces around him and said: "Although I am going back to Pei's, SNK will always be my second home. Pei's and SNK will have more cooperation in the future, and we are still a family."
Jin Shuning said frankly: "In fact, when Mr. Shi handed the entire project to you, we were a little worried, but you did better than we thought."
"Thanks to everyone's support." Pei Song raised his glass and smiled.
"It's a good deal for Pei," Mr. Wu joked. "SNK has cultivated such a good talent, but they will poach it in the blink of an eye."
Shi Yanchen sat in the corner, looking at Pei Song who was surrounded by his colleagues.
Over the past four years, he has witnessed Pei Song's transformation from ignorance to maturity, and now he is even more proud of his achievements.
But seeing so many female colleagues crying and laughing around Pei Song, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Fortunately, this person has already been his, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with all these secret admirers.
Zhang Ruojin also came to see him off. She looked at Shi Yanchen's expression and said, "It seems that I was right. He is indeed capable of controlling a larger situation."
Shi Yanchen smiled without saying anything, his eyes full of pride.
"I remember when Manager Pei first came, he always liked to use the example of catering to explain the business." Hao Yan said with a smile, "Now we have also learned it. When describing the system architecture to customers, we say 'it's like the kitchen of a restaurant'."
"Yes," Xiao Zhang from the technical department answered, "Every time I encounter a problem, I think of what Manager Pei said, 'Simplify the complex.'"
Pei Song listened to everyone's recollections and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
During his four years working at SNK, he not only improved his professional skills, but also gained a group of sincere partners.
"Manager Pei," Xiao Wang from the marketing department suddenly spoke up, "I want to ask a question on behalf of my female colleagues. Are you and Mr. Shi...really..."
Pei Song subconsciously touched the ring on his ring finger and his face felt slightly hot.
Shi Yanchen came over at the right time and put his arm around his shoulders naturally: "Why, you haven't given up yet?"
My colleagues smiled kindly and a warm atmosphere filled the air.
Pei Song stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at his friends who he had been with day and night for four years, and felt reluctant to leave.
The lighting in the restaurant is soft, and outside the window is the vast starry sky.
Such an important turning point in life is spent in such a warm atmosphere.
"Thank you all for these years." Pei Song raised his last glass of wine, "SNK taught me that as long as you dare to think and dare to do, nothing is impossible in life."
