Internship Career
“Puff…”
After listening to Jian Jianan's story, Shan Jiqing's first reaction was to burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, Nan Nan, are you saying that you've been making coffee since your first day of internship at Goldman Sachs?"
Jian Jianan nodded indignantly. When she was at Goldman Sachs, she didn't want to reveal any clues and be looked down upon by others, so even when she was making coffee, she looked calm, as if no situation could sway her to come for an internship.
But now, facing the person closest to him, Jian Jianan couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
"You don't know, I had great expectations during my initial interview. I thought, with my teacher's recommendation letter and my consistently top grades, Goldman Sachs might have accepted me based on my excellent qualities. But today I understand: they accepted me solely because of my teacher's reputation, not because of me as a person!"
If they were really impressed by Jianan's financial acumen, they wouldn't have asked her to make coffee on the first day. Moreover, HR Jenny seemed to have no plan for her arrival and just randomly assigned her to Steve's team.
Shan Jiqing's initial smile faded into a serious expression. He thought for a moment and then comforted Jian Jianan, "Nannan, even though they didn't initially expect you to do anything and thought you could only buy coffee, I can see from this little thing that you're still very reliable. Otherwise, why would they only give you the job of buying coffee and not anyone else?"
Jian Jianan rolled her eyes at him. What a funny thing was Shan Jiqing. How could he find something to praise about anything? Take herself for example. Jian Jianan herself never thought so. She felt that she was a complete failure, but Shan Jiqing could always find something to praise about this little thing from other angles.
If Jian Jianan wasn't such a determined person who wouldn't lose himself in the momentary praise of others, he would have been so proud of himself long ago.
"What are you talking about? Buying coffee should be a must for interns. I asked other people, and they all said that their first internship after coming to Goldman Sachs was to buy coffee, or do some odd jobs like printing. In short, important core work will not be given to interns." Jian Jianan righteously refuted Shan Jiqing's boast.
Shan Jiqing was unexpectedly excited. "That's not the case. Although the others were also assigned to buy coffee, in my opinion, they didn't do the job as well as you did! Look, you bought the coffee yourself this time. Isn't this an additional skill to rely on?"
Jian Jianan was speechless. Forget it, she shouldn't talk to a man like him who was blinded by love.
Shan Jiqing really felt sorry for Jian Jianan. In his opinion, Jian Jianan went to Goldman Sachs for an internship hoping for a place where she could show her talents. However, they did not value Jian Jianan and only assigned her a job of buying coffee. Did they treat Jian Jianan as someone who could be summoned at will?
Shan Jiqing was very angry, so he kept coaxing his girlfriend. Even when he was driving, he was racking his brains, trying to make his girlfriend understand that she was not useless. On the contrary, she was shining in Shan Jiqing's eyes. Gold will always shine, but the group of short-sighted people at Goldman Sachs could not see Jian Jianan's shining point for a while.
While waiting for the traffic light, Shan Jiqing turned his head to glance at his girlfriend, only to see Jian Jianan looking straight ahead with a firm gaze, seemingly unaffected by the incident.
Shan Jingxin suddenly laughed. Yes, this is Jian Jianan.
Jian Jianan had already complained to Shan Jiqing about the coffee-making incident just now, which meant that the matter was already in the past in Jian Jianan's mind, and she would not continue to dwell on it.
Shan Jiqing felt that Jian Jianan must be thinking about how to make use of himself, and maybe he would take practical action tomorrow.
Shan Jiqing's guess was correct. Jian Jianan said she was indeed thinking about this. She felt that she had to make some changes tomorrow, at least to let the Goldman Sachs team she was currently in see her strengths. Otherwise, Jian Jianan would not be able to participate in the core business.
Although Jian Jianan didn't object to buying coffee for everyone at first, which was a necessary part of any intern's job, she was ultimately interning on Wall Street to get acquainted with the core businesses of these large companies and understand how venture capital works. Otherwise, why would she have gone to such great lengths to get involved? Was she really just going to buy coffee?
Is it to identify which beans have the richest fat and the most fragrant aroma? Or is it to remember each person's different preferences for coffee? Ice or no ice, cream or no cream, how much sugar?
This is not Jian Jianan's goal. At first, she can just obediently buy coffee, but at the same time, Jian Jianan must also think of other ways to go further, at least further than buying coffee.
Just like that, the two of them returned home with their own thoughts. The moment Shan Jiqing closed the door, Jian Jianan went into the room and came out with a computer. Shan Jiqing looked at his girlfriend who looked fine. She was ready to create her own little world. He was relieved immediately and turned into the kitchen to cook dinner.
"Nannan, it's time to eat!"
Shan Jiqing called out several times, but Jian Jianan still didn't hear her. She was completely immersed in the computer in front of her, as if this was what she cared about most.
Shan Jiqing had no choice but to raise his voice and call her, and finally attracted Jian Jianan's attention.
"Ah, have you eaten?" Jian Jianan smiled embarrassedly. She was so focused on her own things that she didn't even hear Shan Jiqing calling her.
"Yes, it's time to eat." Shan Jiqing was a little helpless. He prepared the bowls and chopsticks for Jian Jianan, placed them in front of her, and also served her a bowl of soup.
Jian Jianan was used to drinking soup before meals. Shan Jiqing felt sorry for her because she was tired and her brain was overloaded on her first day of internship, so he cooked her a bowl of Gastrodia elata pig brain soup, which is also a common dish in Guangdong Province. Jian Jianan was very used to it.
"Is this Gastrodia elata?" Jian Jianan was eating when he suddenly tasted this Chinese medicinal herb and asked with surprise.
“Yes, this is Gastrodia elata.”
Jian Jianan was very surprised. "I thought this kind of thing couldn't be bought in the United States. Where did you buy it?"
Isn't Gastrodia elata native to China? Logically speaking, it should be difficult to buy in the United States, but how come Dan Jiqing is so powerful that he can even buy it?
Shan Jiqing explained with a smile, "I bought them in Chinatown. There's a Fuyuan store there. The owner is incredibly well-connected, and it seems like she can buy any kind of food. I've ordered a lot of things from her, and I even gave her my contact information so she can keep track of any goodies she has. So, if there's anything I need, she'll call me. Through her connections, I can always buy a lot of things I can't get anywhere else."
Jian Jianan nodded and understood. At the same time, she had a strange idea. Shan Jiqing really had great powers, but his powers were manifested in another way. He could always find other strange ingredients, and then use his skillful hands to cook them perfectly to soothe his soul.
Shan Jiqing supported his head and watched his girlfriend enjoying dinner across from him. He felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. It is said that to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. Shan Jiqing deeply agrees with this statement.
Look at Jian Jianan, isn’t that what’s happening now? Once she gets used to her cooking skills, what else can’t she handle?
After finishing her meal, Jian Jianan devoted herself to her previous work again. As she was watching, the sofa beside her suddenly collapsed. It was Shan Jiqing who had cleaned up the table and sat down.
"This is..." Shan Jiqing couldn't understand Jian Jianan's current computer page. He tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking, "Are you busy with the stock price trend now?"
Jian Jianan opened the computer screen and saw various numbers. There were many lines below the numbers. The lines and numbers together formed a graph that even Shan Jiqing could not understand. However, there was one thing that Shan Jiqing could understand. From the graph above, the viewer could easily analyze the future trend from the past trends. Thinking about the group direction of Jian Jianan's internship at Goldman Sachs, Shan Jiqing easily guessed that this should be Jian Jianan's current internship project.
"Yes." Seeing Shan Jiqing asking, Jian Jianan temporarily put down the work at hand and started talking to him.
Jian Jianan explained, "Although I just told you that my job today was just grinding coffee, your girlfriend isn't someone who's content with just grinding coffee! Even while busy buying coffee, I didn't forget my original purpose. Coming here to see how the company operates is my fundamental purpose. So, after buying coffee, I kept asking the leader what work he could assign me, and he told me to organize the data. I got this data while I was organizing the data."
Although Jian Jianan didn't know whether she could take the information home, she didn't ask Steve at all. She was worried that if she really asked, Steve might say something to embarrass her.
So she didn't even have this idea. Now that these data can appear on her computer, it is because Jian Jianan memorized these data one by one, so it does not violate the rule that these data cannot be taken home!
Can you call it stealing data home if you bring it back with your mind? Jian Jianan was the first to disagree.
Shan Jiqing nodded in understanding. As expected, he had said that Jian Jianan would not give in so easily. Those people who were making things difficult for Jian Jianan thought that this would make her give up? That was absolutely impossible!
After answering one of Shan Jiqing's questions, Jian Jianan turned her attention back to her busy work. She was multitasking, collecting data while chatting with Shan Jiqing. "Here's what I think: We analysts deal with data, so data is the most important thing. On a positive note, I'm lucky to be able to access some data on my first day of internship!"
Shan Jiqing laughed and shook his head. "I guess when Steve first wanted to send you to sort out the documents, he definitely didn't expect you to memorize all the data in the documents and bring them back."
Jian Jianan shrugged and said jokingly, "Who told him not to think of this? This is what happens when you look down on others!"
Shan Jiqing of course completely agreed with Jian Jianan's words. He echoed, "Yes, yes, this is the fate of those who underestimate our Jian Jianan."
Only at this point did Shan Jiqing breathe a sigh of relief and feel completely at ease.
He was a little worried that Jian Jianan would feel a lot of pressure on her first day of internship. On Wall Street, white men thrived, not to mention other races. Even white women faced many restrictions. When Jian Jianan went there for internship, Dan Jiqing knew what she would encounter without having to think too much.
Therefore, he was very nervous on his girlfriend's first day at work. If the experiment was not at a critical stage, he would have rushed over to help his girlfriend, even if it was just grinding beans for her when making coffee.
At least he would feel much more at ease if Shan Jiqing could look after Jian Jianan.
As expected, Jian Jianan's complaints when she got off work revealed that she had indeed suffered some discrimination, but it did not have a significant impact on her. Seeing her sitting on the sofa and concentrating on organizing data, Shan Jiqing knew that she definitely had not given up. Not only did she not give up, she was also thinking about fighting back!
As expected of Jian Jianan! Always so vibrant, always moving forward, always captivating.
Shan Jiqing didn't bother her anymore, stood up quietly, thought for a while and decided to make a midnight snack. Judging from Jian Jianan's attitude, she must be busy until very late, so when she is hungry, she will need a midnight snack.
What should I make? Eat some sweets. Eating some sweets can restore my mood the most. And Jian Jianan will feel very good every time after eating sweets. So it is decided to make sweets. How about making some mango pudding? There are mangoes in the refrigerator that I just bought some time ago.
Although there is no grapefruit, it just so happens that Jian Jianan doesn’t like the taste of grapefruit very much, so mango sago is very suitable!
So, Jian Jianan continued to study, while Shan Jiqing took care of the logistics so that Jian Jianan would not be distracted.
At two o'clock in the morning, Jian Jianan stretched and finally finished her keyboard work. When she stood up with a yawn, she happened to catch a glimpse of a sticky note on the table. It read: "There is a midnight snack in the kitchen. Eat it before going to bed, otherwise it will upset your stomach."
She smiled. Shan Jiqing was always so considerate.
Jian Jianan sat at the dinner table and ate mango sago. All the fatigue caused by staying up late was swept away, as if the bowl of mango sago in front of him had some miraculous nourishing effect.
The next day, Shan Jiqing took Jian Jianan to work as usual. When getting off the car, he handed Jian Jianan a lunch box, but this lunch box looked much bigger than the ones from the previous few days.
While Jian Jianan was in a daze, he heard Shan Jiqing say with a smile: "I prepared a bit too much lunch for you today. If you can't finish it, you can share it with your colleagues."
He then added, "Of course, whether to share it with colleagues depends on your opinion. If you think it's okay, then share it. Although I'm the one who makes lunch, everything depends on your opinion."
Jian Jianan was immediately moved to tears. Did Shan Jiqing mean to use delicious food to stimulate social interaction among colleagues? He was so thoughtful. He had thought of everything for Jian Jianan!
"Xiaoqing, you're so nice." Jian Jianan said sincerely. Shan Jiqing smiled and unbuckled her seat belt. "Yes, yes, I'm fine. It's enough for you to know how good I am. I see that everyone else has gone to the elevator. You should get off quickly too. Don't be late."
Jian Jianan then gave her boyfriend a farewell kiss, slipped out of the car and walked into the building.
Shan Jiqing was left watching his girlfriend's back as she left, blessing her deeply in his heart. He really hoped that his food guide would be useful. In this way, Jian Jianan could integrate into the group more quickly. Even if she couldn't get everything she wanted immediately, she could be closer to everything she wanted.
Jian Jianan was holding a lunch box and standing in the crowded elevator. She was so crowded that even her 1.65-meter height seemed cramped. However, she was holding the loving lunch prepared by Shan Jiqing and standing in the elevator with her hands raised and her chest puffed out, looking very confident.
The door opened, and she walked into her team's office and started fighting the battle of the day.
"Hi, Steve, good morning!"
Steve was the only one inside. When he heard Jian Jianan's greeting, he raised his head and said hello to her casually, "Good morning. By the way, what you want to buy..."
Before Steve could even utter the word "coffee," he heard Jian Jianan say with a smile, "I placed an order for coffee on the way here. They said it will be delivered to us in half an hour. We can enjoy it when everyone is almost here. It will definitely appear on everyone's desk on time."
Now there was no one else in the office except the two of them, and Steve was the first one to arrive.
This sentence immediately blocked Steve's heart. Jian Jianan's words could be said to be flawless. Even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't find any.
The next second, Steve nodded not uncomfortably, with a dull expression on his face. It was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed with the other party's response.
Jian Jianan didn't get angry and just assumed that he agreed. As she walked towards her desk, she suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask Steve, "By the way, sir, if you don't assign me any other tasks today, I'll go ahead and collect the information. Of course, if you have other arrangements for me, I'll fully cooperate."
Steve looked at Jian Jianan for three seconds with an indecipherable expression, nodded, raised his chin in the direction of the cabinet where the documents were kept, and said lightly, "Go ahead. I don't need you for the time being."
"Okay, please tell me if you have anything else to say." Jian Jianan replied, still in that respectful tone, as if he had no problem with Steve.
Steve scoffed inwardly, but how could that be possible? He was known throughout Goldman Sachs for his harshness. If a newcomer to Goldman Sachs was assigned to his team, they would definitely be secretly complaining about their bad luck. And Jian Jianan was being bossed around by him yesterday, so how could he not have some complaints about him?
But it doesn't matter. Steve doesn't care. He came to Goldman Sachs not to make friends or to have good interpersonal relationships with colleagues. He came to Goldman Sachs to realize his ambitions, work hard to make money, and climb up one step.
Apart from this, he doesn't care about anything else.
Just like that, the members of Jian Jianan's group slowly arrived one by one. The first person who arrived was a little surprised to see Jian Jianan so early, with her mouth slightly open. When she looked away and saw Steve sitting in the first row, she showed an expression as if she was seeing a ghost.
Why were both of them here so early? Could it be that something major had happened at Goldman Sachs, somewhere she wasn't aware of, that was enough to shake up the top management? No way!
But it was destined that no one would come out to answer his questions. Steve continued to do his work. He just looked up at the man, as if he wanted to remember this person deeply in his mind.
As for Jian Jianan, she was sitting leisurely in her office chair, continuing to organize the cabinets that she had tidied up a small part of yesterday. She had set a small goal for herself to organize one-fifteenth of the cabinets today. At least she had to read all the information at the top. She had to hurry up.
Just like this, Jian Jianan is a new intern, but her psychological quality is the best among the employees here. No matter what others say, she just does her own thing and turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window. This is the best interpretation of her.
Half an hour later, the elevator door opened. Jian Jianan heard the hurried footsteps of someone coming. He looked up and saw that it was Jack, the coffee boy with whom he had established a deep friendship in a short period of time yesterday. He was carrying a big bag with more than a dozen cups of coffee in it, and he came to deliver coffee to everyone.
"Ha! How lucky! We have coffee to drink as soon as we sit down!" Someone immediately shouted with a surprised tone.
A blonde woman sitting in front of Jian Jianan said, "Who is so thoughtful? I stayed up all night last night and I just need a cup of coffee to perk me up!"
Then she suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at Jian Jianan who was sitting in the seat behind her. Jian Jianan smiled and nodded at her, accepting her identity as his "caring baby".
Soon, everyone distributed the coffee and continued to work, skipping this little episode.
Jian Jianan sat calmly in front of her desk and sorted out the information. She was very efficient and got started very quickly. After a while, a small mountain of information was piled up in front of her desk.
She was concentrating on her studies when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her view. Jian Jianan looked up and saw that it was Steve. He had quietly come to the front of Jian Jianan's desk at some point, picked up the documents she had sorted out, and started to look at them one by one.
Jian Jianan glanced at his expression and asked cautiously, "Is there anything I can improve on in the document I compiled?"
Otherwise, was it that Steve suddenly remembered to come and inspect the results of the internship? Could it be that she suddenly got kind enough to come and inspect Jian Jianan's work and give him some guidance?
Steve did not answer Jian Jianan's words. He slowly looked at them one by one, then left leisurely after saying a few words.
"That's right. I hope you can keep up the good work and finish sorting out this cabinet of information as soon as possible. I hope you can finish it within a week."
The white woman sitting in front of her couldn't help but gasp. "Oh my God, we have to collect all the information in this box. How long will it take? This has been accumulated over the years. I have to organize it all in a week. Jian Jianan, will you not be able to sleep for this week?"
Jian Jianan didn't object. She agreed with a smile and didn't think it was a difficult task at all. After calculating her efficiency over this period of time, it would take about a week to organize the information in this cabinet. Since Steve could give a deadline, it proved that her work was still favored. At least it was of some use and not as insignificant as she had initially thought.
For Jian Jianan, this is already sending a signal that things are gradually getting better.
For lunch, everyone got up on time and went to the cafeteria. Jian Jianan was not a formal employee, so she was naturally not qualified to go to the cafeteria. However, she had a loving lunch made for her by Shan Jiqing, so she didn't need to go to the cafeteria.
When she opened the lunch box, she saw the food that Shan Jiqing had prepared for her this time. It turned out to be various rice balls, which he had rolled up and put in plastic wrap, and then neatly arranged in the lunch box.
The fillings of each rice ball are different. Some are vegetarian, containing tofu or various vegetables, and some are filled with meat, which is the diced chicken thighs that Jian Jianan specified for the night before. She likes the taste of chicken the best, so Dan Jiqing naturally follows his girlfriend's preferences.
In addition to Jian Jianan, the white colleague sitting in front of her did not leave. Thinking of her reminder when Steve called her yesterday, Jian Jianan walked up to her, split his lunch box in two, handed her half, and invited her, "Would you like to try my lunch?"
Ruth was having a headache. She didn't get up to go to the cafeteria because she wanted to stay and work on a data sheet of her own. She hadn't finished this data sheet for three or four days, but today was the deadline set by Steve. Steve required it to be submitted today, otherwise, he would either give Ruth a C on her year-end performance, or she would voluntarily apply for a transfer to another group. In any case, there were only two consequences: performance deduction or being kicked out of the group. Steve would never accept her staying in his group.
Ruth didn't want this serious consequence, so she had to sacrifice her meal time and stay in the office to finish this form.
After hearing Jian Jianan's invitation, Ruth also saw the food in the lunch box. Rice balls are convenient and delicious. When she smelled the aroma, her hungry stomach began to growl in response.
However, Ruth was not shy. She didn't feel embarrassed at all when she heard her stomach growling. Instead, she thought about it, looked at Jian Jianan in front of her, and frankly accepted her kindness: "Thank you, I'm a little hungry."
Ruth took the plate of food from Jian Jianan's hand and thanked him, then continued to make the table while eating.
Of course Jian Jianan said you're welcome.
The two people really became familiar with each other because of this unintentional episode. It must be said that Shan Jiqing's craftsmanship really played a certain role in this!
In the afternoon, Jian Jianan continued to organize the materials. In addition to organizing the materials, she also temporarily accepted an important task assigned to her by Steve, which was to stand in front of the printer and bring back all the printed materials that their team needed.
Jian Jianan was well prepared for this. She said that it was absolutely impossible for her to sit quietly in front of her desk and just organize documents. She must have other work to do. Then, Steve suddenly had the idea and specifically asked Jian Jianan to print the documents.
So, Jian Jianan, who had just started working, had to leave her desk again.
Jian Jianan finally waited by the printer for several hours and printed out everyone's information. Jian Jianan also borrowed the table next to him and used paper clips to stack up all the information on the same topic so that others could view it more conveniently.
There were so many printed documents that when she carried them back in her hands, they blocked her vision and made it difficult for her to see the road ahead. By the time Jian Jianan carefully brought the documents back, it was time to buy coffee and afternoon tea.
But she was well prepared. She went to the public phone in front of the desk and directly dialed the name of the coffee shop to place an order by phone. This was another service of the coffee shop that she had learned about from Jack.
Jack said that their group was the busiest, and not everyone had time to go to the coffee shop to order food. Sometimes, if everyone really couldn't spare the time, they would order food by phone. This method greatly reduced the consumption of time, and they could still order coffee and afternoon tea. Even the most picky Steve couldn't find any fault with it.
Steve sneered at this, and with the nostalgia for the rice ball at noon, Ruth turned around and quietly reminded her, "Steve really dislikes this kind of phone ordering. He thinks it's opportunistic and that people who do this are slick and mean, with bad character."
At this point, Ruth lowered her voice even more, "So you have to be careful. Steve will definitely come up with other ways to punish you for this matter later."
Jianan thanked Ruth for her kindness, but she didn't really care in her heart. Steve really wanted to punish her, but Jianan thought that as a small and insignificant intern, Steve might not have any other means except asking her to continue doing trivial things like buying coffee and afternoon tea.
But soon, Jian Jianan realized that he was wrong. Who said that Steve didn't have other means of his own? He could also make himself print information until the early morning!
When it was almost time to get off work, Jian Jianan watched as others left their seats one by one, and suddenly wanted to pack up and leave together.
Unexpectedly, Steve suddenly walked up to Jian Jianan at this moment and said to her arrogantly, "Our team still has a lot of materials that need to be printed out for the meeting tomorrow at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. You, the new intern, will stay in the company tonight and print out all the materials I need. Tomorrow at 7:30, I want to see coffee and these paper materials appear on my desk together."
He left after he finished speaking, leaving Jian Jianan dumbfounded, standing in front of the desk with a look of grief and anger on his face.
Capitalists! You're capitalists indeed! You can think of so many ways to torture the working people, but why haven't you been hung up on a street lamp?
Ruth also sympathized with Jian Jianan: "I told you not to go against him! Although the team leader may not seem to have much status in the entire Goldman Sachs, after all, there are countless team leaders on one floor, it is still easy for him to make trouble for you if he wants to, not to mention that you are just an intern who is under his control."
When it comes down to it, the reason Ruth could say this is actually because she and Jian Jianan are not in a competitive relationship. Only when Jian Jianan gets a regular job or even develops better and better and becomes more proficient in his business, will she feel alert.
But now, Jian Jianan has not grown to that point yet, and it was within Jian Jianan's expectations that Ruth would say a few words to comfort her.
No matter what, Jian Jianan was still very grateful.
"Thank you, Ruth. Oh, and I'd also like to ask if these printed materials are available to employees. I mean, I need to use some of the materials. Can I take some home?"
If you ask Steve directly about these unspoken rules, he will definitely say "no" because of his narrow-mindedness. But if you ask Ruth, she will probably tell you some other unexpected little tricks.
As expected, Ruth thought for a moment, then smiled and told the other person, "Of course the employee handbook says you can't take anything home. Every number you see in the office must be memorized. But there are always more solutions than problems. Sometimes you have to take work home when you really can't finish it, and sometimes you need to use this data. Of course you can take it home, but you just need to be careful and secretly print an extra copy when you make copies. Remember, you must not be discovered. If someone does, it won't be a well-known unspoken rule, unless that person is your accomplice."
Jian Jianan understood and received the deep meaning of Ruth's words. He nodded and thanked her, "I understand. Thank you so much, Ruth."
"You're welcome. Oh, I forgot to tell you where you bought your lunch. It really suits my taste. I've decided to have it for lunch tomorrow too!"
Jian Jianan was stunned for a moment, then told her: "I didn't buy it, my boyfriend made it for me, it's not available on the market."
At this point, Jian Jianan laughed heartily: "But if you like, I can ask his opinion. If he is willing to do more, I can continue to bring it to you tomorrow."
Ruth was very surprised and nodded repeatedly. "If that's the case, that's great. Thank you in advance!"
"No, no, I should be the one saying thank you! If you hadn't given me this little guidance, I don't know how long it would have taken me to learn these rules."
The two girls said goodbye, Ruth left the office, and Jian Jianan stayed in the office and went to work at the printer.
Of course, before going to work, she did not forget to tell Shan Jiqing that she had to work overtime.
She was very apologetic. "Xiaoqing, I'm so sorry. I have to work overtime here. I don't think I can get back for at least three hours. You should leave first. Otherwise, you'll have to wait in the car for three hours. That's so tiring. You have school tomorrow. I saw that there's a subway that doesn't end until 11:30. I can take that one home."
Shan Jiqing was surprised. This was only his girlfriend's second day of internship, and she had to work overtime so late. He was very worried. He wondered if Jian Jianan had encountered other difficulties in the group office. But now was not the time to talk. If there was anything, they could talk slowly when they got back. So Shan Jiqing just said, "I won't leave. I'll wait here for you. I'll pick you up when you get off work. Take your time. There's no rush. I'll be there no matter how late it is."
Then, he rarely hung up the phone before Jian Jianan, not giving Jian Jianan any chance to refuse.
Jian Jianan was stunned, not understanding why Shan Jiqing hung up on her. But she knew that Shan Jiqing was actually a stubborn person and would not change his mind no matter what she said. In that case, she didn't want to think about calling him back and wasting time trying to convince him. Now, the first priority for Jian Jianan was to finish the work quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Jianan immediately started working in front of the printer without distraction. There were a lot of materials that Steve asked him to print. The most annoying thing was that they were quite mixed and distributed in various folders. Jian Jianan only had time to write them down. To actually print them out, Jian Jianan still needed to do it manually, which was the most difficult thing.
But Jian Jianan also knew that no matter how difficult it was, she couldn't be perfunctory, otherwise, the next day might very well be the last day of her internship.
Three hours later, Jian Jianan finally finished all the work. She looked at her watch and found that it was completed successfully within the estimated time as she expected.
So she packed her belongings as quickly as possible, turned off the lights and locked the door in one go, and before forgetting to say hello to the security guard at the front desk, she rushed out the door.
Sure enough, she saw a lonely car at the gate, the one that Shan Jiqing bought.
She got on the bus carrying a small backpack, took out a thick stack of paper documents, and said to Shan Jiqing as if showing off, "Look, your girlfriend has made a great harvest today!"
She's working late into the night, and if she doesn't digest all this data, she'll write her name upside down!
