Slack; in addition, there are fixed or irregular overseas meetings every week. In order to match the work and rest of people on different continents, it is commonplace to stay up late and get up early.

She... is really a very hard working person.

"Some information has been passed on from the UK, please help me sort it out and make a briefing." After putting down the coffee in his hand, Xie Canglan assigned the task.

"Oh, okay, when will I hand it over to you?"

Xie Canglan glanced at her and said, "Tomorrow."

Lin Zixin nodded and left.

In the past few days, the conversation between her and Xie Canglan was still limited to business affairs, which is normal, but Lin Zixin still felt that something was wrong.

Lin Zixin was not so naive as to think that Xie Canglan's sudden "importance" was really due to her own ability. She is just an intern, how much potential can she reflect from a simple report?There must be something else.

but……

Lin Zixin pursed her lips in confusion and went back to the computer. As soon as she opened Xie Canglan's email, good guy, there are tens of megabytes of attachments and hundreds of pages of English PDFs, which made her a little dizzy.

Could it be... Isn't it really just because you think you found a particularly useful coolie?Lin Zixin suddenly became a little uncertain.

Sighing, Lin Zixin started to work with dedication.

The information package passed by Xie Canglan is full of relevant research literature on a certain cutting-edge topic in the industry.Because it is more or less related to Lin Zixin's major, she also knows a lot about it

At present, the topic is still in the theoretical stage, but there have been attempts to put some of the research results into commercial practice, and BAE should be regarded as one of the best.

Lin Zixin seemed to vaguely remember hearing Si Lu's "Gossip King" mention that University Y was discussing school-enterprise cooperation with BAE in this regard.

After all, it is a familiar field. Lin Zixin scanned the ten lines quickly. She saw Jiang Li's name in several co-signed papers. The names listed with her were all well-known talents in the world. She couldn't help feeling a little bit. Proud and a little bit unwilling.

"Hmph, the years I was looking for were very good! One day I will ask you to get it back." The little girl gritted her teeth in her heart.

Probably because of a gamble in her heart, Lin Zixin unconsciously read the paper and lost track of time. In the end, even Xie Canglan came out and was a little surprised to see that she was still there, so she came over and called her.

"Why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Huh? Huh? Are you off work?" Lin Zixin was startled too.

Xie Canglan looked at Lin Zixin strangely for a while, then smiled slightly: "Clean up, I'll take you to dinner."

Children

Counting the internship at BAE for more than a month, Lin Zixin has almost never seen Xie Canglan eat any other food except coffee. She neither goes to the cafeteria nor orders takeaway, and is always buried in her work, as if she doesn't know tired.

Therefore, the moment Lin Zixin received the invitation, she almost blurted out: "So, Director, you also want to eat?"

Fortunately, she held back in time, but on the other hand, it made Lin Zixin look forward to what Xie Canglan would bring her to eat.

Xie Canglan didn't drive. The two walked for a short distance after leaving the BAE park, waited for a while for the regional loop bus, took a few more stops, and finally got off at a certain community stop.

When she got off the bus with Xie Canglan, Lin Zixin was still in a daze. This scene was too life-like, which always made her feel an inexplicable discord in her heart, and her steps hesitated unconsciously. .

Suddenly he couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, Xie Canglan couldn't help turning his head to look strangely, but saw Lin Zixin stopped quite a distance away from him, lowering his head and thinking about something.

The elder's gaze seemed to flicker, and he called out to her, "Why don't you leave?"

Lin Zixin seemed to be startled, she raised her head, her expression was a little...unexplainably weird: "Huh?"

"Come." Xie Canglan said briefly, beckoning to Lin Zixin, and smiled faintly.

She happened to be standing under a street lamp at the moment, and the pale light enveloped her, which made her already too thin figure appear more frail and frail; her short hair was just at the same level as the line of her jaw, about the same age as before. It has not been dyed, it is black and straight, usually it makes people feel rigid and dull, but at this time, the halo printed with street lamps seems to reveal a kind of mysterious coquettishness.

It is both charming and dangerous; it makes people curious and frightening - it is no longer the hard-working and serious workaholic I often see in the office, but a completely different person.

Jiang Li's warning to herself at the school gate that day suddenly popped up in her mind, she said "don't be too curious about some things".

Because Lin Zixin was still angry at the time, Lin Zixin didn't pay attention to it, but thinking about it now, Jiang Li's tone of "someone who came here" at that time seemed to be full of meaning.

Could it be that what Jiang Li really wanted to say at that time was "don't be too curious about some people", and could the person she was referring to be... Xie Canglan in front of her at this moment?

This guess made Lin Zixin startled, and she woke up almost instantly. There was still panic in her eyes that would not fade away in the future. Then she shook her head and said "It's okay", then lowered her head again, and then hesitated slightly. , or slowly approached the direction of the woman.

Xie Canglan didn't say much, but just took a deep look at Lin Zixin, then turned around and continued to walk ahead, as if she didn't see the alertness revealed by the little girl's body line that suddenly stiffened.

The two twisted and turned, and finally stepped into a home-cooked restaurant in a residential building.

A slightly chubby old aunt greeted the door. Seeing that it was Xie Canglan, she said in a familiar tone, "Ah, it's Xiao Xie. Today... oh, I brought a kid I don't know today!"

With a joking tone of surprise, the smile on Lin Zixin's face when he looked over Xie Canglan was also very kind.

Although according to her age, it is true that she can call herself a "little friend", but Xu has been fed up with Jiang Li all the time. Hearing these three words, Lin Zixin is still somewhat almost instinctively unhappy, so Inevitably, he frowned.

Xie Canglan, who was standing in front of Lin Zixin, introduced first, "He's an intern in our department, not a kid anymore."

Lin Zixin's plain words fell behind her ears, causing her heart to move inexplicably, and she couldn't help but look at the person in front of her again, and she returned to the Xie Canglan who was very strict and demanding in everything in the office, with a tone of expression They were all pure and simple, but Lin Zixin felt... relieved.

"Oh, in my eyes, you can be regarded as a child." The old aunt said indifferently, "What do you want to eat today?"

Seeing that she was really talking to Xie Canglan in a coaxing tone, knowing that she shouldn't, Lin Zixin still didn't hold back, and burst out laughing, Xie Canglan glanced at her, not displeased, but Sit down following the old aunt's guidance, and then tap Lin Zixin who is opposite her with her chin: "Say it."

"Huh? Ah...uh..." Lin Zixin was a little caught off guard, blinked her eyes, and said modestly, "Uh, I can do it, Director, you can order."

Xie Canglan pursed her lips, and a few seconds later, she sighed in frustration. Lin Zixin was puzzled by her reaction, and while listening to Xie Canglan on the other end of the list of dishes, the old aunt responded with a "hey" With a sound, people got into the back kitchen.

It was only when the sound of pots and pans came from the back kitchen that Lin Zixin realized slowly that the old aunt just asked what the "kids" wanted to eat, and whoever ordered the dishes was the "kids"...

Uh... Did I unintentionally... put Xie Canglan together?Thinking of this, Lin Zixin narrowed her eyes in interest, and raised her head subconsciously, only to see the person opposite was looking at her, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be covered with mist, appearing elusive.

Compared with these little episodes before the meal, the meal for the two of them was rather ordinary, but after the dishes were served, Lin Zixin ordered an extra can of Coke, which surprised Xie Canglan a little.

"You really can't eat without drinking Coke?"

"It's not that I can't eat it, it's just...it's better to have it, hey, Director Xie, how do you know that I must drink Coke when I eat?" Lin Zixin realized the weirdness after explaining, and asked an extra question.

This was the first time she had dinner with Xie Canglan, logically speaking, she shouldn't have asked questions in this way.

Xie Canglan's eyes flickered, and he replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I heard someone mention it."

"Rickey?" Lin Zixin twitched her lips. In the company, she brought her own Rickey with her the most. She didn't expect a man to gossip like this...but...why did he mention these things to Xie Canglan?

I always vaguely felt that something was wrong, but because Xie Canglan on the other side didn't say anything more as if she had agreed, Lin Zixin threw the little bit of confusion in her heart aside and ignored it.

Afterwards, the two quietly ate their own food. Halfway through the meal, Xie Canglan's phone vibrated. She quickly glanced at it and immediately pressed it. The persistent caller came again, and she simply picked up the phone. The volume was turned to mute, and the random screen was turned down on the table.

It was inevitable that she would still feel curious, but Lin Zixin knew that it was not suitable for her to talk too much and ask "Why don't you answer?", so she continued to drink coke and eat vegetables with the attitude of a good baby.

"How about going back in a while?"

When it was almost time to eat, Xie Canglan asked
