The three people pushed open the office door, where Bai Mingyue was waiting and was about to knock.
"Chairman, President, Miss Tang, you may proceed with your meal."
Bai Mingyue spoke with great sophistication, her manners impeccable, and she maintained a perfect smile.
Xue Qingshan nodded, then walked towards the elevator.
The three of them took the elevator to the cafeteria floor. The cafeteria was a separate, very large floor.
However, the interior is mostly a large hall with only a few private rooms, the largest of which is used to entertain guests.
Wei Lun and his group went to a private room for senior executives. Although the room was not luxurious, it was filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere. After all, it was a meal for their own people, not for entertaining guests, and the overall style gave people a comfortable feeling.
The waiters quickly began serving the dishes, bringing out one exquisite plate after another.
Knowing that the chairman and president would be dining together, the cafeteria chefs prepared for a long time, using not only the best ingredients but also their most famous dishes.
The group sat down at the dining table, and after Wei Lun started eating, they all began to eat as well.
A while later, a phone call came in.
It was Tang Jiao calling. When she answered, Tang Jiao was a little confused. Hadn't the matter just been resolved? Why was her father calling again?
As it turned out, when the call connected, it was the old man speaking.
"Jiaojiao, how are you doing over there? Have you learned anything?"
"Are you always causing trouble for Wei Lun? Has he kicked you out yet?"
The old man rattled off a string of words, seemingly missing his granddaughter Tang Jiao, as they hadn't seen each other for over a year.
It's so difficult to be a heartless person. Even though the old man had experienced a lot in his life, he was only strict with this granddaughter on the surface, but he loved her very much in his heart. When it came to Wei Lun, the old man would ask a lot of questions, making Tang Jiao seem like a child who hadn't grown up yet.
"Grandpa, don't ask anymore, everything is fine."
How are you feeling?
Tang Jiao asked with concern, "I miss home a bit since I haven't been able to go back. I was sent to Wei Lun's company for training, but I've adapted to this kind of life now. I'm not living like a rich girl anymore; I'm living like an ordinary person, working hard and finding happiness."
"Yes, she's my obedient daughter. Your father and I have discussed it together. Do you think you want to come back?"
"You can continue with your current business management work. You must have learned a lot over this long period of time."
The old man chuckled as he spoke, explaining that he had recently encountered matters concerning Wei Lun's company, which reminded him of Tang Jiao's life.
Originally, the old man disagreed with letting Tang Jiao go back, but then he thought that now that Jue Lun Technology Group was about to go public, there was no need for her to continue learning anything.
Once a company matures, it relies on its systems, something Tang Jiao isn't lacking in. Her initial goal was simply to temper this spoiled young lady's temper.
"go back?"
"So sudden?"
Tang Jiao asked in surprise, but after thinking about it, she realized that there must be a reason why the old man said that. Could it be that he was unwell and wanted to see her one last time? Tang Jiao panicked instantly. Was this day really coming?
...
Wei Lun and Xue Qingshan stared intently at Tang Jiao, having already grasped the general meaning from her tone.
That meant Tang Jiao had to go back, but the two of them had gotten used to her presence, and they were both reluctant to let her go.
"Grandpa, I'm eating. I'll discuss it with Wei Lun and the others and then give you an answer."
Tang Jiao smiled slightly, her tone very gentle. She already had an idea in mind: her grandfather was getting old, and it was time for her to go back.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jiao looked at Wei Lun and Xue Qingshan, who were both staring at her. She didn't know what to say, but she still spoke, composing herself as she did so.
"Shanshan, Weilun, I might have to go back. My father and grandfather want me to go back."
Tang Jiao spoke up, knowing that after staying for so long, the group had developed a strong rapport, and there was still a lot of work to hand over before they had to go back.
"Since it's the elders' request, we can't keep you any longer."
Wei Lun nodded, indicating his agreement to Tang Jiao's return. However, Xue Qingshan, a young lady from a wealthy family, was deeply saddened upon hearing that her best friend was leaving.
"I was looking forward to celebrating with you after the company goes public."
"Besides, the company can't do without you now."
Xue Qingshan wanted to persuade her to stay, but she didn't know how. She couldn't stop her granddaughter's urge to return home.
The group seemed to have lost their appetite; the dishes, though beautifully presented and delicious, tasted bland, and they only ate a few bites each.
"It's alright. I'll handle the work matters clearly with Bai Mingyue and won't make things difficult for you."
"Besides, I only hold a nominal position in the company, just a secretary. It won't make a difference if I'm not here, so don't feel too much pressure."
"You can come visit me when you come to Beijing in the future. You can also set up a branch office in Beijing and come visit me often."
Tang Jiao looked somewhat disappointed, but still maintained a smile as she said that leaving her best friend and Wei Lun was somewhat difficult.
We managed many things together, and the days we spent playing and joking around at the manor are all wonderful memories.
"Shanshan, Tang Jiao's decision to go back is a decision made by Uncle Tang and Grandpa Tang. We shouldn't let them worry."
"Tang Jiao, take some gifts with you when you go back. The company has many products, you can choose whatever you like."
Wei Lun addressed the two men, then raised his glass high, ready to celebrate and cheer everyone up.
"Let's drink to Tang Jiao and wish her a better life after she goes back."
Wei Lun said with a smile, then clinked glasses with the two men one by one, and drank his first glass.
After the meal, Tang Jiao began handing over her work.
Wei Lun and Xue Qingshan were chatting in the office.
"Wei Lun, are we really going to let Tang Jiao go back?"
“If she were here, we wouldn’t be bored, and there would be a lot of work that she could do with a broader perspective.”
Xue Qingshan stared intently at Wei Lun, hoping to glean something from his eyes.
"It's okay. Her going back doesn't mean she won't come back. Maybe she'll come back to be with you when she has the chance."
"Moreover, the company is now listed on the stock exchange, so there's nothing left for her to learn. She's already mastered all sorts of company issues."
"Compared to before, Tang Jiao's temper has improved a lot. Perhaps this is what the old man was thinking."
Wei Lun comforted her, saying that Tang Jiao had sacrificed a lot during this time, and since she was leaving, he should prepare some gifts for her.
Three cell phones, three computers, and three medical robots—these are all gifts I must give him. Consider them small presents; the price doesn't matter.
