Time passed quickly, and a week passed in a flash. On this day, Tong Jiangxin was making desserts in the kitchen. The phone in the hall rang. Uncle Cheng went to answer it, and then said to Tong Jiangxin, "Miss, I'm calling for you."
"Oh, okay".
Tong Jiangxin put down her time and put the arranged desserts into the oven, then took off her thick gloves and walked quickly to the living room.
After picking up the phone, Tong Jiangxin said hello.
Liao Jianing's voice came from inside, "What are you doing? I didn't answer my phone call."
Tong Jiangxin replied, "I'm downstairs. My phone is upstairs. What are you doing?"
Liao Jianing asked, "How is your work going?"
Tong Jiangxin blinked slightly and replied, "There is no news yet."
"No news yet? How is this possible?"
Tong Jiangxin was also puzzled. The companies she invested in would all respond to the interview notice within three days, unless she was not admitted. But with her academic qualifications, this was almost impossible, and it was impossible to apply to so many companies.
, there was no reply from anyone.
"I don't know either".
There are so many doubts, and when the words come to my lips, I really only have one sentence that I don’t know.
Liao Jianing said, "Have you voted for all the companies I asked you to vote for?"
Tong Jiangxin replied, "Well, I voted for everyone except Dongzheng Group."
Dongzheng was the company of Zhang Qizheng, her father's former friend. She still remembered the embarrassment and polite refusal he expressed when she called him for help when she was at her most confused.
It's not that she is jealous, she also understands the principle of leaving tea to cool down, but she just doesn't want to go to an acquaintance's company for fear of causing inconvenience to others.
Liao Jianing replied, "Are you sure you filled in your email address correctly? There's really not even a single reply?!"
Tong Jiangxin sighed helplessly, and then replied, "Okay, don't say this is impossible."
"Huh? That's weird. We both applied to the same companies, and they both notified me to go for an interview. Why didn't I reply to you?"
Liao Jianing's voice on the phone was full of doubts, but Tong Jiangxin's heart skipped a beat. She frowned and said, "Have they informed you?"
Liao Jianing replied, "Yes, some responded very quickly and notified me for an interview in two days. I have been waiting for your news. I want to work in the same company as you, so I haven't gone for the interview yet."
.
Something flashed across Tong Jiangxin's eyes, and she swallowed, as if she had thought of something.
Liao Jianing also felt that something was wrong, so she said, "Okay, you wait at home, I will come to find you now."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Jiangxin sat down on the European-style sofa in the lobby. The doubts or uneasiness in her heart gradually expanded, and finally enveloped her in layers.
She and Liao Jianing graduated from the same university, and their majors and minors were the same. How could she only notify Liao Jianing for an interview, but ignore her?
A thought came to mind, was he doing something behind his back?
Tong Jiangxin almost subconsciously thought of Lu Chengxi. Although she didn't want to mention it anymore, she couldn't control her consciousness. Apart from him, what else could explain such a result?
Half an hour later, Liao Jianing appeared at the Tong family villa. The first thing she said when she saw Tong Jiangxin was, "Did you offend someone?"
Tong Jiangxin's face turned a little pale, and she didn't know where to start with some words.
Seeing the worry on her face, Liao Jianing said, "Don't tell me, there is anything else between you and Lu Chengxi..."
Tong Jiangxin said almost reflexively, "I have nothing to do with him!"
Liao Jianing's unfinished words were choked in her throat. Looking at Tong Jiangxin, she could only sigh secretly. After a while, she spoke out, "It's clear that someone is playing tricks on you behind your back. What are you going to do?"
"Tong Jiangxin's eyes were fixed on something, her lips were pursed tightly, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.
Uncle Cheng came in from the side door and saw Liao Jianing. He smiled and said, "Miss Liao."
Liao Jianing also smiled and replied, "Uncle Cheng."
After the two greeted each other, Uncle Cheng looked at Tong Jiangxin and said, "Miss, Miss Liao is here, then I will prepare two more dishes for lunch."
Tong Jiangxin raised the corners of her lips and replied with a faint smile, "Yeah, okay."
Uncle Cheng turned around and left. Tong Jiangxin looked at his back like a family member, feeling an inexplicable surge of anger and protectiveness in her heart.
She has lost a lot, and she doesn't want to be able to keep her last pure land. Whoever blocks her way, whoever doesn't let her start over, is her enemy!
Looking sideways at Liao Jianing, Tong Jiangxin said, "Have you decided which company to apply for?"
Liao Jianing paused for a moment, then replied, "I haven't decided yet, what do you want to do?"
Tong Jiangxin said, "Then go to Dongzheng Group. I will go to the interview with you in the afternoon."
Liao Jianing didn't know what Tong Jiangxin was thinking, so she didn't ask and just nodded.
The three of them sat in the dining room to eat together at noon. Tong Jiangxin looked happy the whole time. Her face did not show the painful experience of the past few months at all.
Liao Jianing sat aside and occasionally saw the smile on Tong Jiangxin's face. She would be saddened by such a beautiful smile, because she knew that the happier she smiled, the more aggrieved she felt.
After eating, Tong Jiangxin and Liao Jianing insisted on staying in the kitchen to clean up, but Cheng Bo couldn't resist, so they went to the back garden to clean up.
Tong Jiangxin was washing dishes by the drain pool and said, "We will go to Dongzheng together in a while. You will go for the interview, and I will go to the top floor to find their chairman. If you have passed the interview, don't say anything, let alone me."
Liao Jianing looked sideways at Tong Jiangxin and said, "Their chairman and Uncle Tong used to have a good relationship? You might as well ask him, he will let you stay in their company, and we can still be together by then."
Tong Jiangxin had a faint expression on her face and just said yes.
After everything was packed up, Tong Jiangxin went upstairs to change her clothes. The two of them greeted Uncle Cheng and then drove towards the city.
Parking the car in the underground parking lot of Dongzheng, when the two of them took the elevator up, Tong Jiangxin said, "Dongzheng is one of the top 50 companies in the world. You can make good progress if you stay here. I wish you success."
.
Liao Jianing smiled nonchalantly and said, "Just wait to treat me to dinner!"
When the elevator was on the thirty-fifth floor, it opened with a ding, Liao Jianing stepped out, and Tong Jiangxin smiled and waved to her.
As the elevator door closed, the smile on Tong Jiangxin's face gradually disappeared. Seeing the number of floors in the elevator rising, she blinked lightly and took a deep breath.
When the elevator opened again, it was already on the top floor of Dongzheng. Tong Jiangxin stepped inside and saw the assistant in front of the chairman's office. She said, "Hello, I want to see Mr. Zhang. Could you please come in?"
