Tang Miao and her grandmother sat in the garden and chatted for a while.
The two of them had the same hobbies, so they had a lot to talk about. While chatting, Tang Miao glanced at the time and said to his grandmother.
The two of them didn't feel that time passed quickly as they chatted. In fact, it was almost four o'clock.
The sun was already showing signs of fading at four o'clock. After Tang Miao finished speaking, grandma nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then you go over there, and when you come back, it will probably be six or seven o'clock." The old lady glanced at the time and reminded Tang Miao, "If He Xiao finishes too late, you don't have to rush back to eat. You can eat outside. Don't go hungry."
The elderly’s focus is always on their children’s three meals a day.
After the old lady finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled and nodded in response. After Tang Miao finished responding, the old lady smiled and said.
"Okay." After saying this to the old lady, Tang Miao got up from the rattan chair and left the garden.
Ke Yi was busy with her engagement recently and only came to the company this afternoon. When she arrived at the company, Ke Yi went to the department where she and Ji Junlin were. After entering the department, Ke Yi went directly to Ji Junlin's office.
Before she and Ji Junlin confirmed their relationship, the company had intended to promote Ji Junlin. When the two of them established their relationship, Ji Junlin surpassed Ke Yi and directly became the second in command of the department.
The manager of this department is a long-time friend of Ke Yi's father. Because of the relationship between Ji Junlin and Ke Yi, the manager is also sincere in taking Ji Junlin with him. The manager is almost sixty years old, and everyone in the department knows that after he retires, Ji Junlin will become the new head of the department.
He also became the youngest department manager in the entire company.
Although all this was due to Ji Junlin's outstanding personal ability, the most crucial factor was Ke Yi. Everyone in the department knew about it and would occasionally talk about it. But the conversations were limited to private, because no one dared to speak ill of the future department manager in public.
As for Ji Junlin's parachuting in, the other supervisors in the original department were somewhat dissatisfied with him as an airborne soldier. However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, Ji Junlin had strong connections. They either swallowed the bitter fruit or left the job they had worked hard for many years. Anyway, this caused a period of turmoil in the department.
But later, after a series of mediations, some people were transferred to other positions, and some were given shares. Regardless of whether it was internal or external, the situation was basically settled.
As for those people, as long as they had money, it was fine, so gradually they no longer had any complaints, and the matter was slowly settled.
All of this is naturally inseparable from the help of Ke Yi's father.
When Ke Yi first mentioned Ji Junlin to her father, her father was already interested in Ji Junlin. He was originally recommended by a professor at school to work in the company, and the professor also had a relationship with Ke Yi's father, so he had a good impression of Ji Junlin. Seeing that Ke Yi was interested in Ji Junlin, although Ke Yi's father was dissatisfied with Ji Junlin's background, he basically liked him as a person, and turned a blind eye to their relationship. As a result, the two of them developed steadily to the current engaged relationship.
This engagement involves not only some relatives and friends, but also some business partners of Ke Yi's father. Ke Yi's father has worked hard in South City for many years and has some foundation in the business community of South City. At the engagement banquet for the two, Ke Yi's father will also give a speech of thanks, which is basically to inform friends in the South City business circle that he has accepted this son-in-law and hopes that other friends can give some advice and cultivation to this son-in-law.
Ke Yi is an only child, and her father's company will be passed down to her sooner or later. Ke Yi has been spoiled since she was a child and has no interest in doing business. It just so happens that Ji Junlin is very capable, so there is someone to manage the family business for her, and she only needs to continue to be her rich wife.
Everyone in the company knew about their relationship, and Ke Yi never shied away from it. After arriving at the department, she went to Ji Junlin's office. In the office, Ji Junlin was looking at a document. When he heard the door open, he looked up as if he had come to his senses.
"I heard from the driver that you went out at noon. Where did you go?" After entering the office, Ke Yi walked to the desk, pulled the chair in front of the desk and sat down. After sitting down, she looked at Ji Junlin across the desk and asked this question.
Ji Junlin looked at Ke Yi who was sitting opposite him. After taking a look, he blinked, lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, and said, "I didn't go anywhere."
After Ji Junlin said this, Ke Yi on the opposite side laughed.
There was no praise in her laughter. It was ridiculous, mocking, and pitifully cold.
After she finished laughing, Ji Junlin looked up at her.
The two looked at each other across the short desk. Ke Yi's eyes were still arrogant, while Ji Junlin looked at her without any emotion.
Being looked at like this by Ji Junlin, the mocking smile in Ke Yi's eyes disappeared, and other emotions filled her eyes. She even frowned along with these emotions.
After Ke Yi frowned, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. But before she opened her mouth, her phone on the desk vibrated. Ke Yi's emotions were like the backflow of seawater. She lowered her eyelashes and glanced at the vibrating phone. When she saw the name displayed on the phone, Ke Yi frowned and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she straightened up, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
After Ke Yi finished shouting, she looked up at Ji Junlin, and Ji Junlin also looked at her. But after a glance, he looked away and continued to look down at the documents.
And Ke Yi didn't even look at him. She got up from her seat and went to call the old lady.
Ke Yi was almost finished eating, looked at her grandmother with a smile and said, "It's delicious."
The old lady sat on a bamboo chair, looking at Ke Yi who was eating snacks and drinking tea opposite her. The smile on her face gradually faded, and she looked at Ke Yi quietly and said.
After hearing her answer, the old lady said, "Come out and have afternoon tea with me."
For a young lady like Ke Yi, the location for her afternoon tea is basically fixed, which is one of the more upscale Western-style afternoon tea dessert shops.
Ke Yi's eyes moved in surprise, like a child who had found something he liked, and she picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip. After finishing the drink, Ke Yi looked at her grandmother with bright eyes and said with a smile.
"Okay. Do you want me to reserve a seat?" Ke Yi asked.
Perhaps Ke Yi's emotions were affected in the afternoon, so this small feeling was magnified by her sensitivity, and she felt mixed emotions.
Such snacks, paired with lightly fragrant tea, are a completely new experience for Ke Yi, who has had too many Western afternoon teas.
People always reminisce about their childhood, because life is very small when they are young, and it is enough to eat happily and have fun in a small world.
When Ke Yi smelled the fragrance of tea, her originally restless mood calmed down a little. After she was led to the private room by the receptionist, the receptionist came to the door and left at the right time. Only the grandparents and grandchildren were left in the private room. Ke Yi was not restrained and went over to sit opposite the old lady and said something with a smile.
After Ke Yi finished speaking, the old lady looked up at her and smiled.
After the old lady got older, she usually had afternoon tea at home and rarely chose to go out. But she felt bored staying at home all the time, so after the old lady said so, Ke Yi agreed without thinking.
The old lady had already booked a place in advance. Ke Yi heard her tell him the address, which was not too far from the company. After the old lady finished speaking, Ke Yi said "OK" and hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Ke Yi looked back at Ji Junlin behind the desk. Ji Junlin was still reading the documents. Ke Yi looked at him like this, then retracted her gaze and left Ji Junlin's office.
"Try it." said the old lady.
This teahouse is located in a busy city, but it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. The small teahouse is in the form of a Chinese manor, with a small bridge, flowing water, rockery and bamboo. The teahouse where the old lady is is relatively remote and private. Ke Yi followed the receptionist at the door, walked through the winding corridor, and then entered the teahouse.
The old lady looked at Ke Yi's smile, and the kindness in her eyes became more intense. She looked at Ke Yi sitting opposite her, imagining her granddaughter growing up from a carefree life to what she is now.
The old lady signaled Ke Yi to pour herself a cup of tea. After Ke Yi understood, he took the purple clay teapot next to him and poured himself a cup. The tea fragrance that was originally blocked by the purple clay teapot, after the tea soup was poured out, the fragrance spread out.
She is already 25 years old. Her parents are asking her to grow up and make her own living. But only in front of her grandmother, no matter how old she is, she is always the child around her grandmother.
In the tea room, the old lady was already sitting behind a tall square table, waiting. On the table was a complete set of tea sets, in which the old lady had just brewed tea, emitting a faint tea fragrance.
It is impossible for people to be happy forever.
Ke Yi had some Chinese-style snacks at hand, which were exquisite in style and had a sweet aroma. After her grandmother finished speaking, Ke Yi picked one of the snacks she liked and took a bite. The snacks had a crispy texture and a sweet taste, which was different from Western-style pastries. It did not have the delicate aroma of whipped cream like Western-style pastries, but it had a crisp aroma after being cooked with milk and eggs.
As we grow older, the world becomes bigger, there is more happiness, but also more worries and pains.
"Try this cake with it." When grandma saw Ke Yi's smile, she looked at her lovingly and said this with a smile.
"Just come here." said the old lady.
After Ke Yi arrived at the teahouse, someone came to greet her at the door. After that, the receptionist took Ke Yi to the box where the old lady was.
But no matter how mixed the flavors are, snacks are always sweet.
"It smells so good."
Ke Yi likes it very much. Similarly, Ke Yi also likes grandma very much.
-
The place the old lady booked for afternoon tea was a Chinese teahouse, which was in line with her taste.
After Ke Yi asked, the old lady did not let her make an order, but directly gave her an address.
"It's delicious."
