Since he couldn't focus on his work, Fang Siyan simply put down what he was doing.
Sitting there doing nothing and wasting time was rather taxing.
Ding Ruola had already discussed with Fang Siyan that they would go to Alxa together. So the affairs of the company during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival needed to be dealt with as early as possible.
The girl got up very early. She came to the studio, rushed to produce the game programs for the Tomb - Sweeping Festival, and then sorted out the manuscripts that needed to be submitted after the festival.
For the unfinished manuscripts, Ding Ruola decided to handle some of them by herself, and for the rest, she could only urge others to complete them.
Overtime before holidays had become a custom in Solaka Studio, and the employees were basically used to this rhythm.
"Ruola, aren't you pushing yourself too hard?"
Mei Xuejian thought there was absolutely no need to go to Alxa for on - site research. These manuscripts would finally be synthesized by special - effects artists. They only needed to design the general outline.
"I know it's not necessary, but I just can't get into the mood."
Ding Ruola shrugged and gathered up the items spread out on the table.
There had just been a fierce battle on this table.
The girl was in a hurry. She handed a stack of documents to Mei Xuejian.
"Keep these documents with you. I'm afraid those companies will come looking for me."
Mei Xuejian hugged the stack of documents in his arms, then turned around and walked away with difficulty, and locked the documents in the cabinet.
Ding Ruola had almost handed over all the affairs in the studio, but Fang Siyan was still in a complete mess.
Recently, there was a problem with the base - station batteries provided by Fangyuan Group to China Mobile. The products produced by those factories were unqualified.
Now the pressure from all sides was quite high. On the one hand, Fang Siyan had to invest money to manufacture qualified batteries, and on the other hand, he had to spend manpower and material resources to recall those problematic products.
This product problem not only affected Fang Siyan's status as a supplier to China Mobile but also reduced the public's trust in their battery products.
The shares of Fangyuan Energy had directly hit the daily limit down in two days. Looking at the data sent from the branch company, Fang Siyan's face was as green as the color of the stocks.
Fang Siyan wanted to find out what was wrong with this batch of batteries, but after two days of searching, he still had no result.
"Boss, this is the quarterly report of Dolly Daily Chemicals."
Zhang Jun came over with a report. Fang Siyan looked at the numbers on it. The more he looked, the more strange he felt.
"These data have been tampered with. Tell them not to try to deceive us."
Fang Siyan glanced at it and handed the document back to Zhang Jun.
The assistant imitated Fang Siyan and examined the data carefully. There seemed to be nothing strange about it. He even used his proud mental arithmetic to calculate the total in the data column and found no mistakes.
"Stop looking. You won't be able to tell."
Fang Siyan tapped the table with his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. He looked up, half - closing his eyes, and stared at Zhang Jun, who was acting a bit slow.
Hearing Fang Siyan's words, the man had no choice but to obediently close the document in his hand and quietly left the office.
Zhang Jun felt quite uncomfortable because of Fang Siyan's teasing.
There was another person who was also uncomfortable, and that was Bi Shuang.
Bi Shuang was going back to her hometown during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival. It had been a long time since Grandma Bi had seen Ding Ruola, and the old lady missed Ding Ruola. She wanted Bi Shuang to take Ding Ruola back home with her this time.
That day, as soon as Bi Shuang got off work, she packed up her things and rushed out of the company, planning to find Ding Ruola to talk about this.
She came at a good time. Ding Ruola had just gone out, so she had to wait for Ding Ruola in the office.
"Ruola, you're finally back."
Ding Ruola was very confused. What did Bi Shuang come for?
"Dingding, would you like to go back home with me to visit Grandma during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival?"
Bi Shuang pulled Ding Ruola's hand. The girl looked embarrassed.
"I've already decided to go to Alxa for on - site research during the Tomb - Sweeping Festival holiday."
Ding Ruola hadn't told Bi Shuang about her decision at first. She apologized, saying that she had made Bi Shuang make a wasted trip.
"I'm really sorry!"
Actually, she didn't really need to apologize to Bi Shuang for this. Bi Shuang waved her hand, saying that there would be plenty of time in the future.
"Boss Ding, do you have time to go for dinner with me?"
Ding Ruola didn't refuse. The two girls walked out of the studio hand in hand. Her stomach still felt uncomfortable, so she could only take Bi Shuang to the Cantonese restaurant they had been to before.
Bi Shuang flipped through the menu for a long time and finally ordered two dishes and a dessert.
The girl smiled mischievously and nudged Ding Ruola with her elbow.
"Dingding, I've ordered something good for you."
Being so mysterious, Ding Ruola had a bad feeling. The so - called "good things" from Bi Shuang were usually things that Ding Ruola didn't like.
When the dishes were served, Ding Ruola saw a plate of papaya stewed with snow frog oil in front of her.
Bi Shuang stared at Ding Ruola's chest and had a naughty smile on her face.
"Professor Fang isn't doing his job well. You still need me to supplement you."
With that, she scooped up a spoonful of the crystal - clear jelly - like stuff and put it in front of Ding Ruola's mouth.
It looked like a transparent slime. Ding Ruola didn't want to try this new food.
Finally, unable to resist Bi Shuang's coercion, she had no choice but to open her mouth and swallow the spoonful of food.
There was a slight spiciness, like the smell of ginger, and the unique sticky fragrance of papaya filled her lips and teeth.
"It's actually a bit delicious!"
Bi Shuang rolled her eyes and handed the spoon in her hand to Ding Ruola, indicating that the girl should eat by herself.
Ding Ruola was conquered by the taste and fragrance of this dessert and quickly finished the food in front of her.
After finishing eating, Ding Ruola remembered to ask Bi Shuang what that pile of crystal - clear stuff in the middle was.
Bi Shuang didn't say a word. She held a toothpick in her mouth and kept pulling Ding Ruola for a stroll on the street.
Ding Ruola felt bored, so she changed the topic.
"How are you and your boyfriend?"
"Just so - so."
When Bi Shuang said these four words, her tone was flat, as if she had no feelings for that man.
"Do you think a man's career is very important?"
Ding Ruola stopped and pulled Bi Shuang to stop under a street lamp.
Since her best friend asked this question, it must be because that man had neglected Bi Shuang because of business.
"Not only does he neglect me, but he goes out to socialize all day long and is always with a bunch of women."
Bi Shuang couldn't tolerate infidelity in a relationship at all. Ding Ruola looked down and saw Bi Shuang's clenched fist.
She slowly slid her hand onto Bi Shuang's. Her palm wasn't very big, but it could barely cover Bi Shuang's hand.
"Understand him. He's working for you."
Hearing this, Bi Shuang got even angrier. That man lived in Bi Shuang's place, and Bi Shuang paid all the utilities.
Bi Shuang had been extremely kind, but instead of being grateful, that man bossed Bi Shuang around.
"You can even tolerate this?"
Ding Ruola thought Bi Shuang's personality might have changed. If it had been before, she would have fought with her boyfriend.
