It was winter again.
In early January, the seaside city was particularly cold. The howling wind felt like knives, and a few birds flying across the gloomy sky emitted somewhat mournful cries.
Inside a spacious and bright office building, a man in a sharp suit walked through the chaotic cubicles.
Many people stopped their work and respectfully greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Wang."
The man nodded friendly.
As his figure gradually disappeared, a few programmers wearing plaid shirts were puzzled, "Is he going to see Mr. Manoban?"
"Probably."
"I hope they're not going to argue again. Last time, Mr. Wang's voice was almost shaking the heavens because of a technical issue."
"To be honest, I find Mr. Wang's emotional outbursts easier to handle. I'm really afraid of Mr. Manoban's cold face."
"However, it seems like Mr. Manoban has been in a good mood these past few days. He even smiled at me yesterday, which scared me."
"Are you kidding me? Just hearing that is enough to scare me."
"No, no, no, let's not talk about it. Someone's coming."
Jackson quickly walked up to the closed office door, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on it with his finger curled.
"Come in." The voice inside the door was deep and slowly drifted out, wrapped in the coolness of winter.
Jackson put on a smile and pushed open the door. "Hehehe, good morning, Chief Manoban."
Chief Manoban thought it was just another subordinate and didn't expect it to be Jackson, who had argued with him a few days ago.
He glanced at Jackson but didn't say anything.
Jackson licked his smile and looked obsequious. "Chief Manoban, I was wrong. Last night, I suddenly had an epiphany and realized that you were right about that point you made."
Lisa murmured a soft "mmhmm". He glanced up at Jackson and added, "It's nothing."
"Wow, you're so easy to talk to today," Jackson exclaimed, rushing in from the door and plopping down in the chair opposite Lisa. He chattered on, "Let me tell you, you better be prepared for the upcoming press conference. This is your first appearance as the CTO, so you have to be serious about it."
After his long-winded speech, Jackson realized he was a bit thirsty and asked, "Is there anything to drink?"
Lisa pressed a button on the phone and told the secretary outside, "Bring in some drinks."
Jackson was completely shocked by his behavior and asked with a stiff hand, "Are you possessed today? Why are you being so nice to me?"
Lisa pursed his lips and sheepishly rubbed his nose, "I need a favor."
"What's up?" Jackson suddenly became interested.
Lisa cleared his throat. "I have an important event in a few days, but I'm missing a suit."
"I thought it was something big, but it's just this? Alright, I'll cover you. I've been telling you, your meticulousness doesn't match your lack of dress sense."
After Jackson finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and asked, "Oh, but what's the important event?"
A mischievous smile appeared on his lips as he half-jokingly and half-teasingly said, "Is it to meet your girlfriend?"
