We went back along the road to the metro station at City Hall.I don't think it's a good idea. The last time I took the subway with her was not a good experience. Dressing so grandly tonight will only attract more attention.

But Miss Pender seemed to have no qualms.

We passed the corridors of the National Gallery again, and the changes in the world are terrible, but in the space of two or three hours, everything is different.I really didn't want to humiliate myself, and turned my head to the other side.There is a gray low-rise building directly opposite, which is very conspicuous. The outer wall is very new, but at the same time it reveals a kind of outdated simplicity.I couldn't remember where it was for a while, but Miss Pender's voice sounded at the right time.

"That's the SCC, the Singapore Cricket Club," she added. "The food is pretty good, I thought you might have tried it."

It turned out to be Kevin's club.I shook my head. "No, I haven't been there. Was it for cricket?"

"There seems to be everything now," she thought for a while, "except cricket is rarely seen."

I knew in my heart that it was probably an elite club left over from the colonial era.This kind of thing is also available in the United States. After all, they have all been the younger brothers of Britain. The "members only" set of tricks to create a sense of superiority is very skillful.Some universities have fraternities and sororities with strong cohesion, among which the outstanding ones can rival the resources of top clubs.

When I looked back, my senses were different.I could smell the brass stench of money through its gray walls, and I thought that Miss Pender must have done a lot of business here.

The previous communication was really not pleasant, and now I am just lingering.I can't think of any way to counter her, but can only follow her, which is completely in Miss Pender's rhythm.She was very kind and didn't kill them all. Taking this opportunity to win some more news that is beneficial to BCG is in line with the friendly impression she has left on me all the time.

—is it friendly?

I may be like a smart kid.

"I was thinking," I said, "it would be hard to eat here without being a member."

I'm thinking about how to strangle your neck.I said in my heart.

"Yes, you need a member of the club to invite you, and he must be present." She explained, "After all, this is a place for members to communicate. Being able to bring guests is a benefit, a free lunch in a sense ?”

I disagree: "I'm afraid not. The membership fee should be able to eat a lot of meals outside."

"The membership price of an individual member seems to be negotiated privately. The old member decides to transfer out, and then you can buy from him."

It's really a group with a strong atmosphere of elites. I didn't react on the face, I just said: "So there are more corporate members?"

She looked at me.The night blurred her expression, and I only noticed her eyebrows that became three-dimensional under the street lamp: it turned out that she had walked to the outside of me.Miss Pan De cocked her chin in the direction of SCC: "Cricket Restaurant has delicious fried kway teow and Hainanese chicken rice. Of course, the most famous one is curry broth, but it is only served after six in the afternoon. I have a chance to invite Would you like to taste it?"

I didn't rush to agree or refuse, just asked: "Is it that delicious? So delicious that you are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a membership?"

"Like I said," she winked, "it's a free lunch for me."

Her membership is with the company.

We stared at each other for a moment.I said, "Maybe find another time."

This meal is to be exchanged by the seller for glory, and it is not cheap.How could I promise so simply.

After returning home, I stayed on the sofa for a long time without moving. After a few minutes of slowing down, I slowly took off my high heels.Just now in the lobby, I almost took off my shoes and went upstairs barefoot, but I ran into a neighbor who lived on the same floor, so I persisted until I entered the door.

When the shoe was taken off, I thought the heel would peel off a layer of skin.As a result, the heel was fine, and there was not even a blister on the sole of the foot, but the thumb was somewhat red and swollen. Now that I was freed from the high heels, it was so sore.

Human adaptability is truly terrifying.

I moved my ankles and took off the earrings.The long skirt still wraps me up and hugs me to the cloakroom - the sportswear I took out earlier is still piled on the floor.I closed the curtain, stretched my right hand to the back of my neck and pulled it, picked up a quick-drying T-shirt and put it on, and finally started to tidy up.

After mopping the living room—I had already given up on the second bedroom—I dragged the mop back to the bathroom as it was, and instead of rinsing it, I took off my makeup.Usually I rarely do things like this, but the moment I started to clean up, I just wanted to escape. It would be best if I could take care of some chores along the way; even if the situation turned bad, I would not be depressed.

In the mirror, I have already taken off my makeup and the quick-drying T-shirt with some lipstick marks on the neckline is a perfect match.like a clown.

This incident is my fault.

Who is he, he is already a partner at a young age, and I am still appreciating vases, appreciating and appreciating, but stumbled on such a big matter.What the boss told me was originally an impossible task, but I was lucky enough to get it done, and I was still complacent, thinking that Miss Pan De was kept in the dark.

This squirrel is pretending... I have had several dirty words in my mind, but I don't want to use it on Miss Pan De.

Is it because I'm too lonely?

Something has really been wrong lately, especially in these two one-on-one meetings, and I'm obviously a little bit lost.Everything went too smoothly, and I obviously didn't have any specific information. I was still indulging in the illusion and didn't know it. I thought that there was really a possibility of private wishes in this kind of meeting.

Or maybe I shouldn't have taken the risk in the first place.This is not the only way for the big boss to explain things. Isn't it possible to follow Lin Yimin's routine?Shouldn't it be a good idea to take the lead and work for BCG?

Why do you have to approach Miss Pender?

Tonight I finally know that I was terribly wrong before.

I can't play her well.If the opponent is her, and I am alone and helpless, then I must step by step.I take ten steps, she takes one step, and if things go on like this, I can create a little bit of an advantage.

As for my wanderlust...

At five or six in the morning, I figured it out.I just owed it - and that worked out pretty well, I scoured reviews of various popular toys and ended up buying two of them.I am usually too busy at work, I hardly think about it, and there is a little "physiological fluctuation" before the menstrual period.Scientifically speaking, now that I'm 30, my body is supposed to be pumping out oxytocin in a last-ditch effort to pass on my genes: that's probably why I'm sometimes afraid to look at Miss Pender too much.

Believe in science, don't think about it.

Thank goodness it's the 21st century, and humans' animal needs are always easily alleviated so they can devote themselves to their work.

After finishing my purchase, I clicked on the software and sent Jocelyn a message: "Good morning. Can I see Lisong soon?"

Jocelyn will never let you know when she's fishing and when she's sleeping.She replied within 5 minutes of my message: "Good morning. I will make arrangements and let you know when I have news. Did you not sleep last night?"

"Woke up by the birds." I lied.But the birds outside are indeed noisy, and birds in Singapore probably live by fighting.

Jocelyn didn't greet me again, and replied briefly: "At [-]:[-], you have half an hour on Zoom."

I checked the time and it was only 10 minutes since my first message.It's less than 07:30, Jocelyn is really a role model for us.I was moved and squeezed eight letters up: "Thank you!"

"You can take a nap. Don't put on makeup, Lisong may be in pajamas. Try to learn more video conferencing skills."

I looked at the news and couldn't help but wonder, "Are we going to work from home?"

A small number of companies in Singapore have announced to work from home before, and now the proportion of Internet companies that do so may exceed half, and we are lagging behind.

"It's still under discussion."

It's the equivalent of saying "we'll do this next week, but I can't tell you the truth right now".Jocelyn really loves me, I thought, sitting up and putting on some light makeup.

The big boss was in pajamas as she expected.But because of the long-sleeved pajamas with lapels and buttons, he looked a little more formal than usual, despite the homely material.I dress casually because of Jocelyn's reminder.

The big boss took a sip of water: "You are so neatly dressed on Saturdays."

I'm wearing this denim shirt, denim shirt, thank you.

But the big boss won't understand this kind of thing. With a business expression on my face, I said, "Thank you. I found out what you told me before. Is it convenient to report to you now?"

The big boss showed no expression: "Go ahead."

"Okay." I said, "BCG wants to split and reorganize our company. Assuming this plan is implemented smoothly, the subsidiary whose predecessor is our department may not be wholly owned by the current company. I judge that we will be the wholly-owned subsidiary of the group. Subsidiaries continue to exist."

The big boss put down the water glass.He was still calm, but his voice was much more energetic than before: "Tell me about your basis."

"This is the second point I want to report to you." I paused for a moment, "BCG Singapore has the right to advise on the appointment of the senior management of the subsidiary, and may even have the right to decide on some positions. The person who makes the decision on this matter should be Sunny Ya, she spent so much time on our company's project, she should be doing preliminary preparations for candidate selection."

The big boss nodded and motioned for me to continue.

"Sonia told me about her thoughts on the CEO of the subsidiary company, and one of the strange requirements was that the CEO's business philosophy should be highly unified with the board of directors." I never mentioned my guesses from this, but Avoiding it implicitly, and treating it as an established fact invisibly, he continued, "This is my basis."

Since it took so much effort, it was necessary to find a puppet who could convince the crowd and would not bite back. Obviously, there was a serious conflict between the big boss and the group.The group wants to evade the big boss.

But I can only pretend I don't know anything about it.

"You're pretty quick." The big boss said approvingly.

I smiled.

Soon, of course, because I just had my biggest tumble in my career.

"The third and most important point I want to report to you is why Sonia talked about this topic with me." I turned my face slightly, and I continued, "I am looking for you so urgently today because of this Considering the situation, I hope to ask you for instructions as soon as possible—she wants me to be an internal response to help implement BCG’s split and reorganization plan.”
