C56 (2/2)

A paid vacation is the dream of every employee. Tang Tianbao was also no exception. Now that he thought about it, the reason why he was so positive was only because he was being positive in front of his boss. Since the boss had given him a vacation, he didn't want to continue pretending.

Tang Tianbao returned to his office, humming a little tune as he leaned back in his chair. His feet insolently extended to his desk, letting the Bessel Curve Screen screen on his computer constantly rotate.

Even after a day of special leave, Tang Tianbao still hadn't lost himself in his bliss. Tang Tianbao suddenly thought of a person — — Xie Min. Since Xie Min was the Director of Design, she was also part of the design department. Logically speaking, it should be a day off. He could ask her to climb the mountain in this good late spring season. With this thought in mind, Tang Tianbao looked at the time. There were only five minutes left before it was time to get off work. It would be great if he could ask Xie Min out at this time. He removed his feet from the desk, unconsciously patted himself, tugged at his slightly wrinkled clothes, and headed for the Director of Design's office.

Tang Tianbao stood in front of Xie Min's office door and knocked twice. He didn't reply. He knocked a few more times, but still no one came to the door. He grabbed the knob lock, twisted it, and found it locked.

At this time, a person walked out from the marketing department next to the director of design. He said to Tang Tianbao, who was standing at the door: ”Thank you, Director. It's already time to get off work.”

”Oh, thank you.” Tang Tianbao courteously said, his heart instantly chilled.

Tang Tianbao dejectedly returned to his office. Thinking back to this day, he and Xie Min hadn't even spoken a word, let alone explained what had happened that night. An inexplicable feeling of loss arose within him. He took out his cell phone and skillfully dialed Xie Min's number.

After some time, the other side of the line said, ”The person you're calling is temporarily unable to reach …”

There were only two possibilities for such a reminder. The first was that Xie Min had switched off the battery, which was very unlikely. The second was that Xie Min had blacklisted his phone number. Tang Tianbao thought that the second possibility was more likely. Tang Tianbao threw his phone onto the table. He put both of his hands in his hair with a look of loss on his face.

Tang Tianbao packed up a few papers that were scattered around his desk and put away his phone. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Yu Meng at the door.

”Sister-in-law, can you not pester me like this?” Tang Tianbao had originally been very annoyed by Xie Min's matter, but now that Yu Meng had come to bother him, the anger in his heart flared up.

”Who are you calling sister-in-law? Originally, I had a secret to tell you in secret, but I didn't expect you to not appreciate it. Yu Meng complained with a pout.

”Little sister, little sister, is this enough?” I beg of you, don't try to deceive me with any 'pregnancy' secrets. ” Tang Tianbao still hadn't forgotten that when he had just fallen in love with Yu Meng, Yu Meng had used the method of faking pregnancy to deceive his snacks.

Yu Meng's face turned red with embarrassment as she said, ”You're so hateful. Why are you still talking about what I did when I was young?”

Tang Tian Bao also put on an unpleasant expression as he imitated Yu Meng's tone and said, ”You're annoying. At that time, I was still in middle school. When I was young, I still didn't understand?” ”So annoying.” As Tang Tianbao said this, he even displayed a very unique Lotus Finger.

Yu Meng angrily ran in front of Tang Tianbao as her delicate little fists continuously pounded on his chest.

”Aiya, that's enough. Is it not over? ” Tang Tianbao couldn't bear it any longer. Yu Meng was acting coquettishly towards him, and Yu Meng's current pretence made him feel a wave of disgust. After all, now was not the time for them to be in love. Tang Tianbao grabbed Yu Meng's fist and seriously said, ”I'm going home. After working all day, I'm very tired.”

”Tang Tianbao, you —” Yu Meng looked at Tang Tianbao's departing figure and shouted, ”If you don't listen to this secret, you will regret it!”

Tang Tianbao replied without turning his head: ”Thank you!”

Yu Meng was still beating her chest and stomping her feet on the ground, but there was nothing left for her to do. Tang Tianbao had already walked out of the company's main entrance.

The truth was that when Yu Meng brought this matter up with Tang Tianbao again, Tang Tianbao felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.

Yu Meng was going to tell Tang Tianbao about the awards ceremony that Tang Tianbao was extremely concerned about. The awards ceremony would be held tomorrow at the city's people's auditorium, but Tang Tianbao's attitude towards her made her heart tremble. She decided to punish him for the night and tell him about it when he came to the unit. She believed that Tang Tianbao did not know about this news because Director Su had personally instructed her that none of the designers that did not enter the semifinals to participate in the final ceremony. Designing was not the same as doing other work. Every design sample was filled with the painstaking efforts of the author. What everyone was really worried about was the plagiarism of the work, and every designer had a takeaway mentality. Of course, this wasn't the main reason. The most important reason was that Su Ai Lan had a limited number of admission tickets to the ceremony, so Tang Tian Bao had become the one without an admission ticket.

As Director Su's secretary, Yu Meng naturally had to follow Director Su to attend the awards ceremony. Naturally, she had an admission ticket in her hand. She wanted to give this admission ticket to Tang Tianbao, but she told Director Su that she had lost her admission ticket, so that he could communicate with the staff there. In this way, Tang Tianbao would be able to get a ticket to the competition and see all kinds of works. This way, not only would Tang Tianbao be able to broaden his horizons, but he would also be able to compare himself with others and discover his inadequacies.

However, Yu Meng's wishful thinking did not materialize in the end. Because she never would have thought that Director Su would have a day off with the designers that couldn't participate in the awards ceremony.
