Chapter 130: Overtime
TOP's open-plan workspace is lined to the west by a row of tall daylight windows facing the western sky covered with a rosy sunset. The sun had already disappeared into the high-rise buildings of this bustling city like a jungle of steel and concrete ten minutes ago, the sky gradually darkened, and the lively street downstairs was already brightly lit.
The current work area has long been empty, and only Xiao Nan and Han Zheng are left in the whole company, one of them is sitting in the northeast corner, and the other is sitting in the southwest corner, each busy with their work across several rows of tables, and only the keyboard and mouse of the two of them can be heard in the quiet work area.
Han Zheng took advantage of the gap between the saves and glanced up at Xiao Nan, and saw that Xiao Nan was still working with her head down, the sound of the mouse and keyboard did not stop for a moment, and she didn't know how her work was progressing.
Han Zheng really didn't mean to stay with Xiao Nan to work overtime tonight, in fact, in the advertising and printing industry, it is not uncommon for designers to work overtime and even stay awake all night when they encounter urgent work from customers. This time the company received a picture album, the customer was anxious to catch up with an exhibition, because this customer is the company's old relationship, belongs to the VIP level of treatment, Boss Xue crossed the customer department and the design department, directly called his most powerful general Han Zheng, and ordered him to hand over the manuscript tomorrow morning no matter what method is used.
For Han Zheng, working overtime is of course hard, but being able to work overtime with the girl he likes is definitely the biggest reward beyond the overtime allowance. Every time I save the interval, as long as I raise my head slightly, I can see Xiao Nan busy from a distance, which seems to be quite good......
On the contrary, Xiao Nan, who was sitting on the other side and working nervously, didn't think so. Although she found out in the company's internal QQ group sharing information that Han Zheng's work arrangement today does have urgent work and needs to work overtime, but because of the little bit of involvement between the two people, even if it is really a coincidence, it still makes Xiao Nan feel a little awkward, quiet company, two ambiguous people are alone, working overtime together and getting off work together - isn't this a very common episode in bloody office romance dramas?
Therefore, in order to prevent the atmosphere from developing in that direction, Xiao Nan never said a word to Han Zheng from the beginning to the present, so he just buried himself in his own work, and didn't even look up at Han Zheng when he was saved, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings on the other side.
Because Xiao Nan never took the initiative to say a word to Han Zheng, Han Zheng didn't take the initiative to say anything to Xiao Nan, so the two of them remained silent with a little tacit understanding, each busy with their own work, and the huge work area could only hear the sound of two people tapping the keyboard and clicking the mouse.
Time passed minute by minute, the rose-red sky outside the window had been replaced by a sky full of twinkling stars, the tall buildings in the distance flashed like neon, and a faint bell rang from far away, and the time was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Nan clicked on the save disk with the mouse, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair, took off the radiation-proof eyes on the bridge of his nose and rubbed his somewhat dry eyes. Three-quarters of her work is already done, and if she holds on to the rest of the work, and with a bit of luck, she will probably be able to complete it all by twelve.
In the direction of Han Zheng in the distance, the sound of operating the keyboard and mouse still hasn't stopped, it seems that this guy's work has not been completed, I don't know when he will finish it, it is best that this guy can finish his work in advance and go home quickly, so as not to be found by him again.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard the sound of moving a chair from Han Zheng's direction, Xiao Nan squinted his eyes and glanced over there, and saw Han Zheng standing up and putting on his coat. Looking at him like this, could it be that he had already finished his work? Fortunately, he left first, and he was happy to be alone.
"Xiao Cheng ......" Suddenly, Han Zheng called Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan opened his eyes and saw that Han Zheng had already put on his coat. "Hmm, is there anything wrong with you?"
"I'll go downstairs to buy something to eat, and if it's too late, it's hard to find a place to eat nearby. Do you want me to bring some back for you?"
I see...... "Thank you, no need, I made preparations at noon, I can't be hungry, you leave me alone, hurry up......"
"Okay, I'll go first, I'll be back in a minute, if there's anything you can call me, there's a wall next to the fax machine with the phone numbers of all the people in the design department. ”
"Okay, I got it......" Xiao Nan replied lightly.
"By the way, I have to trouble you to lock the door, otherwise I will leave and you will not be safe in the company alone. Han Zheng said. The key to the company's gate Xu Hui left Xiao Nan when he left.
"Okay. Xiao Nan took out the key from the drawer and followed Han Zheng outside, the two of them kept a distance of two meters one after the other, and neither of them said anything more. When he arrived at the door of the reception room, Xiao Nan twisted the doorknob to pull the door open, and Han Zheng nodded to Xiao Nan and went out.
"Go ahead, I've locked the door from the inside, and when you come back, ring the doorbell, I won't necessarily hear you knocking." Xiao Nan reminded Han Zheng. "Okay, I remember. Han Zheng agreed, turned around and left.
Xiao Nan slammed the door shut, locked the door from the inside, and then turned around and returned to the open work area inside, at this moment she was really the only one left, Xiao Nan felt very relaxed. There's no way, if Han Zheng is here, she has to "stretch" herself when she stands and sits, and now that he is gone, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Back in front of the computer desk, Xiao Nan opened the third drawer, which contained the food she was ready to stay up late at noon, but the faint fragrance of roses coming from the drawer reminded Xiao Nan of some troublesome things. That's right, there were two of them, and every time the roses appeared, it would cause her a lot of trouble, and who knows if it was the last.
Before a pack of instant noodles could take out of the drawer, without warning, suddenly all the lights in the room went out at the same time in an instant, even Xiao Nan's computer display screen went out together, and the computer host stopped working after losing power, leaving only the hard disk still making slower and slower operating noises with the help of inertia.
It's not good! There's a power outage, it's damn! Fortunately, I've already saved the disk, otherwise tonight's work would have been all in vain. Xiao Nan was secretly glad in his heart, while taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, with the help of the light of the mobile phone, he groped to the window and looked downstairs, and saw that the street downstairs was still bright with neon lights a few minutes ago, and now it has become a dark and dead silence, and it seems that the scope of this power outage is not small.
Now it's over, and the devil knows when this blackout will end. Xiao Nan suddenly turned into an ant on a hot pot. If you don't call tonight, you won't be able to send a film tomorrow anyway. By the way, quickly call the power supply bureau to complain about the fault, and by the way, find out why the power will be cut off and how long it will take.
Xiao Nan thought of this and was just about to pull up the phone book from his mobile phone, when he suddenly heard the sound of a doorbell from the reception room outside. Hey, who's coming to the company right now?
Using his mobile phone as a flashlight to illuminate the road, Xiao Nan hurriedly ran to the gate, and the doorbell was still ringing. Looking out through the cat's eye, the corridor outside was pitch black, and a person was also using his mobile phone as a hand lamp to illuminate, and the light was reflected on the person's face, and Xiao Nan saw that it was Han Zheng who came back.
Opened the door lock and opened the door, Han Zheng stood outside the door panting, unable to speak. Xiao Nan hurriedly gave up his position at the door, let him in, and then locked the door. "Didn't you go downstairs to eat, why did you come back again......? Did you come up the running ladder?"
Han Zheng didn't answer, sat on the sofa in the reception room, snorted for a while, and rested for a while before speaking. "Whew...... I just went downstairs, and before I came out of the street there was a power outage, I was afraid that you were alone in the company and scared, ...... I'll just ...... Ran up the stairs...... You... Were you scared just now?"
This guy is panting like pulling bellows, what a bad physique, just fifteen floors, look at this meaning, he has never exercised before. Xiao Nan thought in her heart, but she couldn't say that in her mouth, after all, people also cared about herself, although she neither needed nor wanted to accept this concern.
"I'm fine, I've been very bold since I was a child, and I'm not afraid at all......" Xiao Nan said a little apologetically: "I hurt you didn't eat and ran back, in fact, you don't have to care about me at all, otherwise, you can rest and go down to eat, anyway, you can't work at this time, maybe you will call after you finish eating......"
"How can it be done! No matter what, I can't leave you alone in the company......" Han Zheng was so tired that he couldn't breathe, but his tone was very strong. "Or ...... Will you go down to dinner with me?" he quietly tested Xiao Nan's attitude.
Xiao Nan shook her head resolutely. "I'm not going, you can go by yourself. I'm going to call the power supply bureau to ask about the situation, but I can't stay here, or if we don't call tonight, we can't be stupid and stay here all night, right?"
"Oh, that's right...... Well, I won't go down at all, I'm ...... I'll stay with you......"
Xiao Nan sighed softly helplessly, this guy is really slimy, he can't get rid of it if he sticks, forget it, no matter what he is, people can't force people to go downstairs if they want to stay...... "That's good, I still have some food in the drawer, I'll give you some later, I may not be able to eat enough, but it's better than starving......"
The two returned to the work area together, Xiao Nan dialed the fault complaint number of the power supply bureau with his mobile phone, and while waiting to be connected, he held the phone in one hand and put it in his ear to listen, and opened the drawer with the other hand, and went inside to find the food he bought at noon. Before Han Zheng could say anything, the complaint phone was connected.
"Hey, I'm on the fifteenth floor of the Twin Towers Business Center on XX Road, there was a power outage on our side just now, I saw a power outage on the entire street downstairs, what is going on, when can I call." Xiao Nan asked the other party anxiously.
"Oh hello, we just got the news that the circuit breaker of the transformer on that street automatically tripped, our emergency maintenance personnel are rushing over there, if it is just a simple overload trip, it is estimated that the power supply can be restored in a maximum of twenty minutes, if it is not more than twenty minutes to call, please contact me again, I will inform you of the new situation......"
Well, it's really depressing, the already tight time is not enough now, and the ghost knows when the call will come, so I have to wait twenty minutes to see the situation...... Xiao Nan hung up the phone and said to Han Zheng helplessly: "The power supply bureau said, come in twenty minutes at the earliest, otherwise let me contact them again." But looking at the posture, if you don't call for twenty minutes, it's a big failure......"
Han Zheng shrugged helplessly in the dark: "Then there is no way, I have to wait, take advantage of this time, just rest for a while and eat something...... By the way, there is an alcohol stove and LED camping lights in Lao Xue's office, I'll go get them and use them, if you're scared alone, come with me......"
