woman wearing irish linen shirt

On Tuesday night, I saw Miss Pender again as promised.

She seems to be very free today.As soon as the video was connected, I noticed that Miss Pender looked like she had just exercised.She wore a ponytail and a beige knitted jumper with a hood, which was so rare.I found her to have a clear preference for fabrics, and I have yet to see her in tops other than wool and linen, except for special occasions.

Is it possible that this one is cotton?

I also like to wear cotton, especially super high-count cotton. Although it is easy to wrinkle, it is perfect for pajamas.But if you like it, you like it. Cotton shirts are troublesome to take care of. I usually use non-ironing fabrics.

At first glance, Miss Pande is someone who doesn't need non-ironing fabrics.

After I asked, I didn't speak again.She didn't say hello to me, but her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if examining me.

Suddenly, she said, "Are you angry?"

I didn't deny it, just asked, "What can I do for you?"

For the second time in a short time, she ignored my words.After a few seconds, Miss Pender's scrutiny finally came to an end, and she said as if announcing the result: "You are angry with me."

I look at her.Her hoodie and all-back hairstyle set my memory loose, and I felt a trance for no apparent reason.Compared to her, I take every meeting seriously.In the past two months, I have never dressed casually, and it has always been my trousers or skirt with slippers.

— except for the sick day.

Thinking of my apprehension at that time, I despise myself.No matter what her heart is, how kind she is to me...

She dresses loosely, but her position does not change.

"Emotions don't affect my professionalism," I said. "There are very few things that can affect my work, but wasting time definitely counts as one."

She raised her eyebrows lightly, teasing me, and said: "It seems that you are really angry."

"What can I do for you?" I had no intention of entangled with her, and repeated it again.

"Let's do a work review first." Miss Pande sat up a little bit, while adjusting the angle of her sweater hat, "Tell me why you are so opposed to including the R&D team in the giant team model."

"Those things I mentioned in the meeting, are my real thoughts. A little bit to the left."

Her hat is finally straightened: "Thank you. Can you elaborate a bit more, please?"

"I don't understand why you would want to bring the R&D department on board at this time. No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility for us to integrate into the same team, unless when BCG mentions the word 'team', it Just some sort of spiritual thing."

"We didn't say we were going to integrate the R&D department among you." She was still pretending to be confused, "The opinion expressed by my team at the meeting should be very clear, that is, let a small number, maybe a few people, transfer to the European and Asian departments respectively , let them become the bridge between the R&D department and you."

I endured it, but I still couldn't, and said, "Then why don't you send some children to other countries to serve as diplomatic bridges?"

"We do do that." She actually nodded, "For exchange students, that bridge is called 'host family'."

I tried to restrain my expression: "So in a sense, exchange students can also improve the efficiency of exchanges between the two countries?"

"You hate it when I lie, don't you?"

"I want you to be as honest as possible, creating additional communication costs is not beneficial to our work. Of course, I will try to be as frank as possible."

Miss Pender looked at me.At the moment, the resolution on her side is very low, maybe she hasn't spoken, or she may have said something, but the network swallowed it all.When I could clearly hear her voice, there was only a slight smile on Miss Pande's face: "Adding some members of the R&D team is only the first step of the plan. Next, we will suggest that you recruit a few responsible Data analysis engineers - this should be at the forefront in terms of relevance, but unfortunately, we couldn't create this opportunity."

"And I created an opportunity for you to recruit the R&D department?"

"You could say that," she actually admitted, taking my obvious sarcasm with aplomb.

The two hands I hid under the table were clasped together, and my bones hurt so badly.But I want to forget my own position, my ridiculous expectations of Miss Pender that should never have arisen: I must remain professional and not lose my identity.

She is just my partner.Other than that, we won't have any intersection.

I shouldn't have any extra emotions towards her.

"Assuming this is your follow-up to the optimization framework, I would say that I am a little surprised." I said calmly, "This is not about optimizing efficiency at all, and everyone who has a clear understanding of the situation can only understand Because, you are trying to undermine the structural integrity of the company, and the intention to form a new company can be easily seen through."

After finishing speaking, a sense of oppression suddenly appeared in her usual gentle expression.

Miss Pender's next words confirmed my feelings: "Who said we were going to hide?"

Is this her real face?

I put my hand where she could see it, and glanced away, avoiding all the information presented on the screen.After leaving a long enough silence for Miss Pender's words, I spoke with a completely different attitude: "In my memory, it seems that you have never given me any instructions on daily work."

"Your memory is very accurate." She was still calm, "Your work performance has been satisfactory so far, and we have a very high evaluation of you as a front-line management."

"What do I need to do next? If I want to fully cooperate with the follow-up of the optimization framework, I always feel that such a high evaluation is difficult to maintain."

"Are you saying that I might ask you to dereliction of duty? No, no," she smiled, her eyes gentle. "I don't have that plan."

I didn't answer, and signaled her to continue with silence.

"Earlier you said you would cooperate with even stupid requests, does that apply in general?" She looked at me.

"I will combine my judgment and cooperate as much as possible."

"That's enough." Miss Pan De said, "I hope that you can cooperate with BCG in the future."

I paused: "For example, let the R&D team be a member of the giant team mode?"

"I can trust your choice for such details. Of course it's best to help out at the right time. If it really violates your rules of conduct, then you should stand on the opposing side according to your own will." Out of my opinion Unexpectedly, she did not give any specific instructions, "Kevin will maintain his usual position. At this time, I don't mind seeing your heated discussions."

"I see." I said.

She looked at me for a while, without much expression: "Your curiosity seems to be hidden today."

"My curiosity is learning to manage itself."

"That's a cute statement." She looked at me. "Still angry?"

I was silent for a moment, and just said, "I'm not angry."

"Is there anyone who can't be angry?"

She is right.But what can I do, yell at her?Those who think that things still have to be discussed are just my illusions.But Miss Pande did not leave any conclusive evidence. Her hint was like the prevailing wind in the northern part of the Indian Ocean. People catch the ocean currents that change with the seasons and grasp the law. The monsoon carries nothing, only the sea water moves.

The wind is so innocent.

I said, "I'm not right about people."

At the end of the meeting tonight, I sat on the chair for a while, and then I had the strength to get up and wash.

Never has a meeting with Miss Pender been so exhausting to me as tonight.Just when I thought I was gradually getting used to such high-intensity brain activity, getting used to hiding, and also getting used to having to rely on guesswork in order to come to a certain conclusion with fear, I felt as if my face had been heavily slapped. slap.What I see is only a corner of the truth, a corner of the battlefield, how can I influence the overall situation?

In this game, Kevin undoubtedly came later and relied on her more.

What am I?

I have a meeting with Miss Pender today, and I'm using my personal computer.Due to the difference in distribution between manufacturers and companies, there are actually subtle color differences in the pictures captured by the camera.In order to prevent her from discovering this, I made several attempts at noon and before dinner, and turned out the desk lamp that had always been in the second bedroom for supplementary light.

For security reasons, company computers cannot run any unlicensed executable files.My office computer didn't have the programs I needed, so I had to do that.

I opened the video processing software and dragged in the screen recording of the evening meeting.This thing is really difficult to use. Like all Adobe software, although it is professional, it is difficult to get started.Because the memory is still very clear, and my time is limited, I can't watch it again and again, so I can only edit the video tonight.

She really mentioned Kevin many times today, without even needing me to deliberately guide her.

Passerby C was quickly fired, which invisibly made her suspicious of me a little bit more.Have I dismissed it completely?I was still too conceited to think that she was willing to listen to me because of trust, and that she did not make specific arrangements for me was based on respect.Now that I review the game, I am afraid that from the very beginning, I was not an important part of BCG's plan.

At least not the most important.

This thing is not an ironclad proof. I also keep the project files and source files for future changes.Big Boss, do they want Kevin to leave?But Kevin is a member of our company after all. If there is such a need, we should make some preparations in advance and let him leave and leave, but it will be a bit painful.

Of course, the big boss also has concerns about the big boss. Long before the BCG project team officially entered the field, he used this to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. It is hard to say that it is not a test for the group.Besides, now is the time for employing people, and it is better to wait until after the autumn to settle accounts before the critical moment.

To get evidence, the target is more like Miss Pan De.
