Chapter 385: Would I Not Know My Own Person? (5)
Shen Yao finished speaking, waved over the waiter to pay the bill, and left.
Tang Yanqi was left sitting there alone. She understood Shen Yao’s meaning clearly, whether or not she was here to show off, she had plainly told her that her past relationship with Sheng Jianan was extraordinary.
If it weren’t for Mr. Sheng, there would be no way for Tang Yanqi to be by Sheng Jianan’s side. If it weren’t for Mr. Sheng, over time, who knows, they might rekindle their old flame and become a happy couple.
Tang Yanqi pursed her lips and finished the glass of water in one go.
If she had heard these words before, she would have unhesitatingly retorted and told Shen Yao clearly that there was no need to show off, because it wouldn’t work anyway, her and Sheng Jianan wouldn’t last long regardless.
But now, things were different. She wanted to walk the road with him, to walk it with effort. She listened to Shen Yao’s words and kept them in mind, but they still weren’t important. No matter how you put it, she’s the past, while Tang Yanqi is the one who has Sheng Jianan now.
Maybe Sheng Jianan’s past with Shen Yao was beautiful, but Tang Yanqi’s future with him would be just as beautiful.
Gathering her thoughts, Tang Yanqi stood up and left, returning to the office. Although it wasn’t working hours yet, most people were already there.
Bai Bing handed her a cup of milk tea: "Bought it out during lunch."
"Thank you."
But before Tang Yanqi could drink the milk tea, Li Ke called everyone for a meeting. The reason was that someone above had found an issue with an invoice; the data from both sides didn’t match, and the invoice had been signed off by their department.
Li Ke rarely had a stern face, but now he was slamming his hand on the table twice: "Can someone tell me what’s going on here?"
When the usually mild person lost his temper, it was not something to take lightly; no one in the meeting room dared to take a deep breath.
Although it was just one data error, tracing it to the root wasn’t easy. After all, the finance department’s data goes through layer after layer of hands, and no one wanted to willingly take the blame.
"Finish your current tasks this afternoon, everyone is to stay and work overtime. No one is allowed to go home until we find out where the problem is."
Everyone in the finance department looked grim, but no one dared to protest, so the whole afternoon, the department was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
As the end of the day approached, everyone finished their tasks and began checking.
Those invoices had been sorted before Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing joined the company, and they had no involvement at all, they had no idea what they could do. But since the entire department was working overtime, they couldn’t just leave.
Tang Yanqi sent a message to Sheng Jianan, then walked over to Guo Jingtian: "Brother Guo, is there anything I can help with?"
Guo Jingtian, being easy-going and understanding, knew it wasn’t Tang Yanqi’s issue, but letting her leave early wouldn’t be good either, as it might make her a target of criticism. He handed her a USB drive and a small stack of documents symbolically: "Little Tang, match the items on this."
"Okay."
——
Sheng Jianan received Tang Yanqi’s message as he was putting on his coat to leave. His cold was worse than expected, his head dizzy and heavy, which only made his already not-so-good temper more irritable.
Looking at the message on his phone, he directly called Qiao Zi in: "Are the people in the finance department just loafers? How could they make two interns work overtime?"
Qiao Zi: "..."
Big boss, but isn’t it normal for interns to work overtime?
