Tong An'an calculated the time and ate quickly, finishing in about 20 minutes.
She was a little scared.
As a newcomer, if anyone saw her having breakfast with the CEO, they might think she had ulterior motives.
So, after finishing her meal, she didn't wait for Jiang Jingyu and just wanted to say goodbye.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm full. Please eat slowly. I'm going back to work now."
Seeing the restaurant getting more crowded, Jiang Jingyu somewhat understood her.
However, there was something he had been holding back.
"I'm also full. Let's go together."
Did this mean she had to take the elevator down with him?
Tong An'an's heart pounded.
What did the CEO mean? Wasn't he afraid people would gossip about him and an intern?
Then she thought again, he was the high and mighty CEO, how could anything happen between him and an intern? People wouldn't overthink it if they saw.
Tong An'an, Tong An'an, you really dare to imagine!
Thinking this way, she became bolder.
As they entered the elevator, Jiang Jingyu took out his phone. "Let's add each other on WeChat."
"Ah?"
"To be honest, I haven't had much appetite lately. Eating alone feels like chewing wax, but eating with you is quite enjoyable. No other intentions, just that we can have meals together again sometime."
"Okay," Tong An'an quickly brought up her QR code.
After adding each other on WeChat, they arrived at the CEO's office.
Jiang Jingyu didn't ask her to get out, but helped her press the button for the sales department floor.
"Go back to work, goodbye."
Back in the CEO's office, the first thing Jiang Jingyu did was to check Tong An'an's Moments.
She hadn't locked it, nor had she set any privacy settings like "visible for three days," "one month," or "six months," but she posted very infrequently.
In the four to five years since she started using WeChat, she had only posted over 20 times.
Most of them were casual street photos, scenery, and occasionally a photo with friends.
The topmost post was the two bowls of dessert she posted last night, with the simple caption "Commemoration."
Commemoration.
Jiang Jingyu savored these two words repeatedly, finding them very fitting.
As soon as work started, Tong An'an sent yesterday's interview records to the department supervisor via WeChat file.
The department supervisor forwarded a copy to each of the interviewed "big shots."
Jiang Jingyu read everyone's interview records. When he saw Tong An'an's, as expected, it was much longer than everyone else's.
She must have stayed up quite late last night, and her writing skills were profound.
She had rephrased and organized much of her own language, making it sound very insightful. It could even be published directly.
He was very satisfied.
Furthermore, Tong An'an's summary was also excellent, quoting ancient figures to derive deeper meanings.
He thought to himself that even if she couldn't stay in the sales position, such talent should be transferred to another department.
Just for her ability to write, Zhan Group should have a place for her.
Therefore, Jiang Jingyu personally replied to the department supervisor, telling him to select what Tong An'an had written for the group's official WeChat feature this issue.
This feature was usually handled by Human Resources. The supervisor was thrilled that his department's employee, and a newcomer at that, had gained such recognition.
He quickly agreed, informed HR, and then shared the good news with International Marketing.
He specifically praised Tong An'an, saying that her rigorous and serious attitude had earned her the CEO's commendation from the start. He encouraged everyone to work hard, stating that the department's future depended on these newcomers.
Everyone listened with excitement, but also with a touch of jealousy towards Tong An'an.
Among the new batch of recruits, she had the lowest education and seemed the most honest.
They had expected her to lack competitive advantage, but she had surprised everyone.
After being praised by the supervisor, Tong An'an became even more motivated. She buried herself in internal materials, wanting to familiarize herself with the business and get involved as soon as possible.
However, it was not easy to truly grasp the business of Zhan Group.
Much of the knowledge regarding the professional performance of products was difficult to understand without explanation, and she hadn't had real-world exposure. Reading alone was insufficient.
Moreover, she was also responsible for international marketing, and translating it into English made it even more challenging.
Tong An'an had almost no time to think about anything else. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would draw it out and ask Anna for clarification, while also consulting dictionaries. Her workday passed very productively.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work again.
Everyone gathered their belongings and left, leaving her behind.
After finishing the page she was reading, she organized all the materials, locked them up, turned off the computer, and put her dictionary in her bag, planning to memorize a few more words on the way home.
After finishing everything, her phone buzzed twice.
She picked it up and looked at it as she walked out. The moment she opened the message, she was pleasantly surprised again.
The message was from Jiang Jingyu.
His WeChat avatar was a photo of snow-covered mountains, and his name was simply "Yu."
He asked if Tong An'an had left yet, and said he hadn't either.
Tong An'an, not knowing what he wanted, quickly replied.
"Not yet, Mr. Jiang. Is there something you need?"
"Nothing in particular. I read your interview records today, and the summary at the end was very good. I've heard of two of the allusions, but I don't know their specific meanings. Can you explain them to me?"
The boss was truly dedicated to learning and wasn't afraid to ask.
Tong An'an was flattered.
"Of course. Please wait a moment, and I'll organize them and send them to you, okay?"
"That would be too much trouble, wouldn't it? You'd have to work overtime again. Anyway, I'm also leaving soon. Let's talk as we walk."
So, did this mean she had to ride in his car with him?
Before Tong An'an could figure out how to ask him, Jiang Jingyu sent a location.
It was his exclusive parking spot in the underground garage, asking Tong An'an to wait for him there.
Tong An'an dared not delay and took the elevator to the underground garage.
Soon, Jiang Jingyu arrived.
After seeing each other again after only eight hours, they exchanged smiles, feeling like old friends meeting again.
They got into the car from opposite sides, fastened their seatbelts, and Jiang Jingyu casually asked her how her day was.
"It was good. I was familiarizing myself with product information, but I didn't understand a lot of it. And translating it into English was very difficult for me, so I've been constantly looking up information. Time seemed to fly by. I hadn't mastered anything yet, and it was already time to leave."
Jiang Jingyu expertly drove the car out, looking ahead and replying to her.
"It's normal to find it difficult to understand when you're looking at materials without prior exposure to the company's products. Tomorrow, let the company arrange for you interns to visit the factory yourselves and see how the products are actually made and why they are made that way. It might be much better than reading books."
Tong An'an's eyes lit up with surprise.
