"Pande" is not a common surname among Indians. In addition, when we talked about suits before, Miss Pande also said that her tailor was a friend of the family. With such an association, the young and talented Mr. Pande really might be her family relatives.

My first reaction was, could it be her brother?But then this possibility was ruled out. Miss Pender's mother is Polish, and the outline of the mixed race is quite obvious. For example, Miss Pender's nose is very delicate and small. If you observe her with this presupposition, you can easily catch it. to something different.Rajiv in the photo has a typical "thick face" of Indian origin, with deep eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite handsome. He doesn't look like a mixed race.

But I still couldn't help clicking my tongue.If this is really her relative, Miss Pan De's family background may not be weak.I quickly realized that I was thinking a little too far, and hurriedly brought back the distracted attention: now we are only on a second date, what are you thinking about meeting your parents?

I stopped my own business bottoming.If it is indeed the property of her relatives, it is undoubtedly gossip if I use it as a topic.It is better to do less of such things.

The company's suspicion of the boss was officially lifted on Monday morning. Hui Lin privately sent me a message, saying that no valid evidence was found, and the investigation has been declared over.I felt a little relieved in my heart, I wanted to find an opportunity to have a quiet breath with the boss, but I didn't even find this time.

Jocelyn represented Big Boss at the biweekly joint meeting of the two departments.It was announced at the meeting that all those who report to the boss in our department will report to Kevin from today until the Asian department gets a new "candidate suitable for the director".

The news of the boss's resignation has not been announced.

What does this mean, openly saying that the boss is not "suitable for the director"?

I was so angry that I just stared at Kevin without saying a word.The investigation is obviously over, how can the company make such an arrangement?What will others think when this matter spreads outside?

Kevin is complacent.In a blink of an eye, there are twice as many subordinates, and he is in charge of the power alone, so how can he not be proud?

The news spread to BCG very quickly, and Yimin approached me, looking for inside information.I dealt with it hastily, and my heart was in a mess.

Who is my enemy?

"You don't look happy." Jocelyn chatted with me in the tea room on the sixteenth floor, holding a coffee cup.Right now, I'm waiting for the big boss's meeting to end. Normally, she would take me directly to the big boss's office—today I'm in the tea room, obviously hoping to emphasize my personal position.

But what position could Jocelyn take?She and the big boss are of one mind.She wants to chat, isn't it the intention of the big boss?

My heart was turbulent, and I couldn't rest in the end.

"I thought Rudra's suspicion had been cleared." I barely smiled, "I'm sorry, but it's really hard for me to understand the deep meaning of this decision."

Jocelyn looked calm, as if no matter how I reacted, she could cope with it.Jocelyn said, "Are you worried about Rudra?"

"This may be news to you, but the situation in our department has been quite bad recently." I tried to keep my tone calm so as not to express any emotions, "Rudra is the head of the department after all, I thought this It's easy to imagine—”

"'Once' was, the head of the department," she emphasized. "Now he doesn't hold specific jobs."

I raised my eyebrows: "Why?"

Jocelyn put down the water glass: "Don't you know why?"

"I don't know. Didn't the investigation show that he was innocent?"

"The results of the investigation only show that there is no direct evidence of his suspected violations, and we have no way of knowing whether Rudra is really innocent." She looked directly at me with a hint of knocking, "You really don't know why? ?”

I took a breath, half showing weakness and half impatient: "Joselin..."

"Okay, okay," Jocelyn laughed and raised her hand, "You just need to know that Rudra agrees to this arrangement, and that's enough. Your department must be working very hard these days, but I hope everyone Can you change your mentality as soon as possible, okay? Anyway, you reported it to Li Song, and this change will not affect your daily process. Try to get along with Kevin as much as possible?"

I let out a breath slowly and remained silent for a moment before answering.Jocelyn naturally saw my obvious reluctance, and she said a few more words of comfort to me, and I let it go and said something else.

Jocelyn is undoubtedly playing empty tricks with me about the boss's job-hopping.

Normal resignation handover is fine, but the current arrangement will damage the boss' professional reputation.Why would he agree?Jocelyn would never lie to me on this kind of issue. She thinks there are a hundred ways to obscure the point, and there is no need to lie.Maybe there is some kind of agreement between them with unknown purpose, maybe the big boss decided to give Kevin a favor.In any case, this is their business, and I have no right to ask, let alone inquire about it.

Now that the boss has become a polished commander, and the boss still has doubts about me, I have to be cautious.

Jocelyn's phone vibrated.She lowered her head for a glance, then pouted in the direction of the big boss's office: "Let's go."

After speaking, he patted my shoulder.

The big boss repeated the old tune, nothing more than expressing his trust in me, and encouraging me to do a good job in contacting Miss Pan De.As for the boss's situation, he never mentioned it, neither asked my opinion, nor gave any explanation for this handling: Of course, he is the immediate boss, and he has no obligation or affection to explain to me.

Before leaving, the big boss did not forget to hint that I might take over as department director.This may be the only reassurance I can get.

In the evening, BCG was the host, and Lao Huang and I were invited to a high-altitude restaurant for dinner.It was Yimin who came down to invite us face to face, because the meal came in a hurry, at first I thought he was just being polite.Since Xu Xin was also going, I was keenly aware that something was wrong, so I persuaded Lao Huang, who wanted to decline, to go with me.

This meal is for Kevin, and we are accompanying guests.

Compared with the last meal, Kevin and the BCG people are obviously much more familiar.There is a limit on the number of people in the restaurant, and the scale of the dinner today is limited. Except for Yimin and Xu Xin, there is only one BCG Singaporean employee who is mainly responsible for contacting the European department and is not familiar with us.Kevin and Xu Xin had been colleagues before, and now they are in the same project, so they have endless things to say.

Kevin is quite enthusiastic towards Lao Huang, but as for me, he is more or less lukewarm.

I thought it was funny: He was obviously the one who wanted to find me for dinner, but now that I arrived, he even set up a score.

should.I advise myself.

bear with it.

I was flattering him, but my heart was not disturbed: "I also saw the plant-dyed linen material of Taylor&Lodge on the material card. At that time, I thought it was difficult to control. I didn't expect to call you that. I thought about making it a white button or a silver button. Blazer? You know, a bit of a resort vibe, and I always think that kind of suits you."

"Oh, no, I rarely do singles." He waved his hands, looked at me, raised his chin slightly and said, "Do you think I'm suitable for double-breasted clothes?"

"I believe that every gentleman is suitable to experience double-breasted." I put on a business expression, "Besides, in your position, there is nothing wrong with wearing a double-breasted suit. And a double-breasted suit with six buttons and two buttons or six buttons and one button is always It seemed very powerful.”

"One of our customers likes to make eight-button suit jackets." Yimin said, "Yao, you must have never seen it before?"

"In Singapore?" I was a little surprised. Seeing him nodding, I said vaguely, "Sounds like a lot of money."

It's not just rich, it's so rich that I don't care about the occasion when I dress. I've never heard of it.

"Like the navy dress?" Kevin gestured on his chest, looking at Yimin.I knew that Kevin deliberately refused to answer my words, what did he think, would I blatantly flatter him again?

Lao Huang looked at me and buried himself in eating.

Holding the goblet, I took a sip of sparkling water and interjected, "Four buttons are actually the least picky."

Xu Xin looked over: "What do you say? I don't think tall people are suitable for four-buttons, and they seem to lack aura. If you really want to weaken your status, you can consider single-breasted suits, right? Men who wear double-breasted suits now also not much."

"Well, try to imagine a man wearing four buttons and a blazer. He is sitting alone at the bar, slowly drinking a glass of pure peat-flavored whiskey..." I smiled half-smile, and shook my hand again. Cup, not eager to drink, just said, "I would say such a gentleman is very attractive, whether it is a man or a woman."

Xu Xin suddenly said: "Oh! It seems that when the time is right, we should learn to listen to the opinions of women. You are absolutely right!"

Anytime people should learn to listen to others, no matter if they are male or female, I thank you.I rolled my eyes five times in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. I just smiled and said, "Thank you. I feel very honored."

"But, what about the buckle?" Lin Yimin asked, his focus was completely different from Xu Xin's. "People over 1.8 meters always feel that the buckle will be very low when doing four buckles. Four buckles must consider putting hands in trouser pockets." , will it look short?"

I pretended to think for a while: "I would say that it is more about the overall structure. The double-breasted suit emphasizes the contour of the chest. For gentlemen with a strong body like you, the difference between the chest and the waist is already very large, and the tailor made it at the waist. Should be more considered in the handling of the margin? Unfortunately, I know very little about this...But the buckle will always be kept at the waistline. This aspect will be different from the slightly shorter gentleman, as far as I know As we all know, the Duke of Windsor's four-button suit, the buttons will be raised higher - don't know if I'm right? Kevin is an expert in this field."

"Yao is right, it's better to leave these things to the tailor. Professional things should be handled by professional people, but as customers, it makes more sense for us to focus on creating social value." Kevin stroked his carefully With a trimmed beard, he glanced at me occasionally, and talked with them about the Duke of Windsor's dressing anecdotes.

Several people had a good chat, and I played the vase as they wanted, creating a steady stream for Kevin to create his stage.

Hold on a little longer.Hold on a little longer.
