After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Yiqing has been very unhappy recently. Tao Tao is just like in her previous life. She completely forgets about him every time she starts working.

We finally got a video chat, but she hung up after just a few words.

Fortunately, Yiqing understood Tao Tao and knew that she was just serious about her work and did not dislike him.

Although he felt very uncomfortable.

In two days it will be their anniversary, but Tao Tao is still staying in the research institute. She has been hired as a full-time employee, and is currently busy working on a new project. She only exchanges a few messages with Yi Qing on the phone every day.

It was nothing more than "working" or "eating". Sometimes, Yiqing would send a bunch of messages, but Tao Tao would only reply to the last one, and then she would disappear.

Yiqing thought that in two days it would be their anniversary. Tao Tao celebrated it with him last year, so he must celebrate it this year as well. Besides, Tao Tao had just turned 22, so maybe she would recover her memory someday.

Thinking of this, Yiqing picked up his phone and called Tao Tao.

The call was connected quickly. It was a bit noisy on Tao Tao's end. There were many people sitting around her, and they were all eating together.

Tao Tao took out her headphones and said, "Hello, A-Qing."

Yiqing asked hurriedly: "A Tao, should we rest the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Tao Tao glanced at the date. "It's time to rest. What's wrong?"

It seemed that she had forgotten the anniversary, but this was exactly what Yi Qing wanted, as he just wanted to give Tao Tao a surprise.

Yiqing said: "I returned home today. We haven't been out together for a long time."

Tao Tao thought about it and realized that it had been a while since she went out to play with Yiqing. After her internship was converted to a full-time position, all her energy was focused on work. It happened that the seniors in the research institute were all very nice to her and the salary was not bad, so she was more motivated.

But she and Yiqing had not seen each other for two months. Yiqing went abroad to study, and the two of them had a small overseas romance.

Just as Tao Tao was about to say yes, someone suddenly came up to her and shouted into the phone: "Tao Tao! Who are you talking to on the phone? You won't let us listen."

Tao Tao was so scared that she almost dropped her phone. She glanced at her grinning senior brother with resentment and whispered, "I'm talking to my friend, stop arguing."

Unexpectedly, this senior brother seemed to be innocent and continued to ask loudly: "What friend? Boyfriend? Taotao has a boyfriend?"

Tao Tao nodded: "It's my boyfriend." There was a commotion around them, her cheeks turned red, and she stood up and went to a quiet place outside.

Yiqing heard everything that the senior brother said just now.

He was sure that the man was calling Taotao instead of her full name, because he sometimes called her Taotao like that, and he would call her more cheerfully when the two same words were connected.

Tao Tao has such a good relationship with other men? She can even call him by his nickname?

And from what he said, it seems that he really likes to joke with Tao Tao. Thinking of this, Yi Qing's grip on the phone tightened a lot, and his knuckles began to turn white.

Tao Tao called twice, and heard a soft "hmm" from the other end. She continued, "Sorry, Aqing, I've been a bit busy these past two days. I'll spend more time with you during the holidays. When will you arrive in Beijing?"

After she said this, Yiqing felt better and asked, "Who was that man just now tonight? Why did he call you by your nickname?"

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, then explained: "He is my senior brother. He usually takes me to do research. He is a very nice person."

Yi Qing simply couldn't stand Tao Tao praising other men, and said sarcastically, "Really? Then he must be the best in the world, better than me."

Tao Tao chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? How can I be better than you?"

Yi Qing said: "Then tell him not to call you by your nickname."

Tao Tao was puzzled: "He called me by my nickname? I thought he called me by my given name. After all, my given name and my nickname are pronounced the same. There's no need to make a fuss about it."

Yi Qing said stubbornly: "Yes."

Tao Tao had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay."

Yiqing was slightly satisfied. His ears turned red. He was about to ask Tao Tao if she missed him. Before he could finish his words, someone called her. Tao Tao hurriedly said, "Qing, I have something to do here. Let's talk when I get back."

After saying that, she hung up the phone. Yiqing heard the busy tone of the phone and his hands remained frozen in mid-air for a long time.

After Tao Tao hung up the phone, she was called over by the team leader and immediately forgot about Yi Qing's instructions. It happened that she had almost finished her meal, so after talking with the team leader, she took a break and continued working in the afternoon.

Both she and Meng Yin are complete workaholics, but unlike Meng Yin, once Tao Tao starts to do something seriously, she will enter the Do Not Disturb mode and devote herself almost wholeheartedly, while Meng Yin will still slack off, although she is also serious.

She put her cell phone in the drawer that afternoon and didn't look at it much. Naturally, she didn't reply to Yiqing's series of messages until she got off work in the evening, when she opened the message and saw it.

She picked up her bag and walked out. In the message, Yiqing accused her of not paying attention to him and asked her to make it up to him in the evening. Tao Tao couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, a hand embraced her. Tao Tao looked over and saw that it was the senior brother.

Tao Tao got rid of his control and said helplessly: "Brother Zhou, can you please stop suddenly appearing behind others all the time?"

This Senior Brother Zhou is very outgoing and always smiling. He gets along well with everyone, young or old, regardless of gender. On Tao Tao's first day, he took the initiative to bring her along and helped her a lot, so naturally Tao Tao had a good impression of him.

Senior Brother Zhou smiled and said, "Okay."

Another senior sister joked, "Xiao Zhou, don't have any feelings for our Taotao, she is already taken."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Zhou teased Tao Tao deliberately, "Oh, I don't have a chance."

Tao Tao shrank her neck and said, "Don't say such things."

Senior Brother Zhou agreed repeatedly, and the four of them came outside. Senior Sister had sharp eyes and immediately saw the man leaning against the car on the side of the road.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked straight at them, obviously waiting for someone.

"Wow, what a handsome man." Senior Sister exclaimed, "Who is he waiting for?"

Tao Tao looked over and recognized who he was at a glance, and quickened her pace.

Yiqing naturally saw her as well, and walked towards her, hugging her without caring about the people around.

"Aqing, didn't you say you would come back in the evening?" Tao Tao said with a smile. She still felt a little embarrassed to hug in front of so many people, so she took a step back.

Yiqing said: "I want to come and see you."

He glanced behind Tao Tao and saw a man and two women. He knew at first glance that the man was the one who called Tao Tao by her nickname.

Yiqing's eyes flashed with disdain, and he put his arm around Tao Tao's waist and said, "Tao Tao, they are your colleagues, right?"

Tao Tao nodded and introduced: "Yes, this is my senior brother, and these two are my senior sisters."

Yiqing took a step forward. He was half a head taller than Senior Brother Zhou. He just lowered his eyes slightly to look at him and stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, I'm Taotao's boyfriend."

Two senior sisters were watching the fun nearby. Senior Brother Zhou shook their hands and said, "Hello, I heard you two talking on the phone today."

Yiqing smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. The strength in his hands became stronger and stronger. Brother Zhou's expression became a little unnatural. He then slowly let go and walked away with his arm around Tao Tao.

Tao Tao waved to them: "See you tomorrow!"

After greeting them, the senior sister said excitedly to the two of them: "Wow, Junior Sister Tao's boyfriend is so handsome, and that car is not cheap. It must cost... this amount." She rubbed her thumb, middle finger and index finger together.

Another senior sister pondered, "Do you think Taotao's boyfriend has been seen somewhere?"

Senior Brother Zhou curled his lips, rubbed his palm with one hand, and said, "Have you seen him? I don't have any impression of him at all. I don't know why his handshake is so strong."

When the two senior sisters saw him like this, they laughed mercilessly at him and walked away with a smile.

In the car, Tao Tao was still replying to messages in the group of sisters. Yi Qing was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Tao, I'm back, don't you say you miss me?"

Tao Tao said: "Ah, oh, I miss you so much."

It was as perfunctory as it could be. Yiqing's face was full of black lines, and he returned home quickly with a choked up look on his face.
