Chapter 4: The Great Ups and Downs
With a tight alarm ringing, Fan Xiaoxiao finally got up from the comfortable bed, she first rubbed her face with her dry hands, and then looked around sleepily, when she found that the environment of the whole room was so unfamiliar, she almost didn't jump out of bed, she even thought that she was sleepwalking to Europe. When Xiaoxiao saw the Bird's Nest Gymnasium not far from the window, she remembered what happened yesterday.
"I thought I was abducted and trafficked to England as a child bride. Xiaoxiao patted her head and laughed at herself as she got out of bed and put on her clothes to leave the bedroom, she pushed open the bedroom door and walked straight to the living room. She thought that He Dudong would be there eating breakfast or watching TV at this time, but she was disappointed that He Dudong was not in the living room. Just when Fan Xiaoxiao was about to go to Dusk's bedroom to find him, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a letter with some words written on the table in the living room, she walked over curiously, picked up the paper, and wrote:
Xiaoxiao, I have a very important matter this morning, so I'm sorry to go first. Breakfast is in the kitchen, remember, breakfast must be full, don't be inhibited in my house.
PS: There are 200 yuan under the letterhead, if you are late for work, take a taxi.
"Hmph, what, you left without explaining it to me. Fan Xiaoxiao pouted and folded the letter, she saw the two hundred yuan on the table, but decided not to take it yet. Fan Xiaoxiao looked at her watch, it was not too late, so she took the bottles and cans to the bathroom to wash her face, dressed up, and found that even the bathroom here was more spacious and clean than that basement.
After washing and dressing, Fan Xiaoxiao ran into the kitchen with a headscarf, and after a while, Fan Xiaoxiao came out with two plates, one plate with four slices of bread and three slices of bacon on it, and the other plate with a glass of milk and a piece of pie-shaped cheese. Fan Xiaoxiao stared at these two plates of food, and the saliva had already been left down her chin, you must know that Xiaoxiao usually only eats steamed buns and soy milk for breakfast.
"God has finally opened his eyes, and I can finally eat some oil and water for breakfast. Fan Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of bacon in her hand and said to herself, just when she was about to put the bacon in the bread, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang, she took it out and saw that it was Qiuzi.
"Hey, Qiuzi, where are you now?" Fan Xiaoxiao tried to make her voice sound as comfortable as possible.
"I'm still at my boyfriend's house, and I won't go back until night. Well, nothing happened last night. β
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's good. Fan Xiaoxiao was wondering if to tell Qiuzi the truth.
"I'm really sorry, I'm going back to live tonight, milk tea and puffs have been bought for you. β
"Then thank you, I'm waiting for you at night, bye-bye" Fan Xiaoxiao found that she really didn't have the courage to say it, so she had to hang up the phone in a hurry, she thought it would be better to explain to Qiuzi slowly in the future.
It's not good, it's almost time to go to work, Fan Xiaoxiao can't care about the mission of stuffing bacon into bread, she gobbles up the bread and bacon while drinking milk, and she has to pack the cheese and take it away as lunch. Before going out, Fan Xiaoxiao still took the two hundred yuan, because she found that she only had twenty yuan left in her wallet, and if she took a taxi, it would not be enough at all, "I will borrow you." Fan Xiaoxiao said solemnly at the two pieces of money.
Fortunately, today, whether Fan Xiaoxiao took the bus or the subway, it was very smooth, so much so that she set a record for the shortest time spent in work.
"Haha, today is really my lucky day!" Fan Xiaoxiao, who was already standing under the company building, looked up at the sky and said childlikely. So, from the beginning of entering the hall on the first floor, she would jump up and say "good morning!" every time she saw someone, which made the hall security guard on the first floor look at her with very curious eyes, and kept observing her jumping into the elevator, and finally dropped a sentence "Now little girl, tsk......"
When Fan Xiaoxiao entered the department's office area, she found that she was the first to arrive at the class, which couldn't help but make Xiaoxiao a little proud. After signing in, Fan Xiaoxiao did not rush to work, but ran to the lounge with a glass in her hand, because there was a coffee machine there, and it was always crowded with company employees waiting to drink free coffee and milk tea on weekdays, and the thin Xiaoxiao couldn't squeeze in.
"I can finally drink free coffee and milk tea today!" Fan Xiaoxiao, who felt that she had made a lot of money, jumped to the lounge, but as soon as she ran to the door, she regretted it, she saw her top boss Liu Shang standing in front of the coffee machine at this moment. Although Fan Xiaoxiao was a little naΓ―ve, she would not be stupid to walk over to her boss and say "Good morning!", so Fan Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned around and prepared to slip away, but before she could run a few steps, Fan Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind her.
"Stop, Fan Xiaoxiao!" the man gave a strong and powerful order, which frightened Fan Xiaoxiao into standing still immediately, she had to keep smiling mechanically and slowly turned around, then bowed to the serious boss, and said the most embarrassing sentence she felt, "Director Liu, have you eaten?"
The man in the straight suit walked up to Fan Xiaoxiao with half a cup of coffee, "Why did you come so early today, did you complete yesterday's task?" the director asked in a very soft tone. Is this Director Liu? Is this the usual devil who scolds the undead for not paying for his life? Fan Xiaoxiao immediately made up for the tyrannical image of Director Liu at the meeting yesterday, and she found that the gentle and bland question just now was very different from the director's usual image, and the director wouldn't have taken the wrong medicine today, right?
"Director, I got off work after negotiating with the three merchants last night, and there was absolutely no slacking off or leaving early, I will immediately make a table of the data of the three merchants and send it to you......" Fan Xiaoxiao wanted to continue, but she found that the director's eyes did not look at herself, but fell on the cup in her hand.
"Are you here to pick up the coffee?" the superintendent asked in the same tone he had just said.
Fan Xiaoxiao gasped: "Yes, I'm here to pick up a cup of coffee, I want to add strength to the new day's work." Xiaoxiao was very respectful on the surface, but in her heart she was, "What's the matter, my mother came to the company so early for the first time, you don't give me a praise, you can't even enjoy the company's benefits!?"
"Give me the cup. Director Liu snatched the cup from Fan Xiaoxiao's hand domineeringly, and then walked to the coffee machine without looking back. Before Fan Xiaoxiao could react to what was going on, she just stood there and watched her boss help her make coffee.
Liu Shang definitely didn't take medicine today!
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't know if she should go over now, but it was a little embarrassing to let the director work there by herself, so Xiaoxiao decided to go over and help the director.
"Your coffee. The director didn't give Xiaoxiao a chance to walk over at all. Before Xiaoxiao started, Director Liu had already walked towards Fan Xiaoxiao with a cup of hot coffee, and it was not difficult to see from the color that there was a lot of milk and sugar added to the coffee, just when Fan Xiaoxiao was about to take the cup from the director, the director did not forget to say "Be careful, hot!"
The flattered Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say in the face of the director for a while, and even forgot to say the most basic "thank you". Director Liu looked at the cute Fan Xiaoxiao condescendingly, and didn't know what to say, and finally spit out from his mouth in a reprimanding tone, "Don't go back to work now!"
The director is now fierce, and he is going to become a demon!
After Fan Xiaoxiao shouted "yes", she hurriedly ran to the office with the cup, she didn't want to wait for the director to get angry before running away, thank you and wait for later. Fan Xiaoxiao ran back to the office panting, and found that some colleagues had also arrived, and Lin Nan, the best female colleague who had a relationship with Xiaoxiao, had also packed up the desk and prepared to work, Lin Nan saw Fan Xiaoxiao coming over with coffee and immediately beckoned to her, and Xiaoxiao also immediately ran over.
"Xiaoxiao, what time did you work overtime last night, what time did you go back? Before Fan Xiaoxiao arrived in front of Lin Nan, Lin Nan couldn't wait to ask.
Fan Xiaoxiao didn't answer Lin Nan immediately, but moved a chair and sat in front of Lin Nan, she looked around her mysterious probe, and then lowered her voice and said: "Lin Nan, let me tell you something, you must not let others know, only you know and I know." β
Lin Nan looked at Fan Xiaoxiao, who was anxious, and suddenly muttered in her heart, she didn't know what secret Fan Xiaoxiao had to tell. Xiaoxiao saw that Lin Nan was a little hesitant, so she grabbed Lin Nan's arm.
"Promise me, okay. Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Nan with pitiful eyes, and Lin Nan had no choice but to reluctantly nod.
"Let me tell you, I accidentally bumped into the director in the lounge this morning, and guess what, he didn't scold me but poured me a cup of coffee himself!" Fan Xiaoxiao said impatiently.
"Which director are you talking about?" Lin Nan was a little confused when he listened.
"It's the director of our department, that's it, Devil Liu. Fan Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice when she said the last few words.
"Are you saying that when he saw you in the morning, not only didn't he scold you, but also poured you a cup of coffee!?" Lin Nan seemed to understand a little. Fan Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, and handed the coffee in her hand to Lin Nan: "No, this is the poor cup of coffee." β
Lin Nan cautiously brought it over, lowered his head and smelled the coffee.
"What are you smelling?" asked Fan Xiaoxiao, a little confused.
"Xiaoxiao, believe it or not, I smell a special smell in this cup of coffee. Lin Nan raised his head, stared at Xiaoxiao's eyes and said mysteriously. Fan Xiaoxiao shook her head decisively.
"There's a smell of love in this, Fan Xiaoxiao, Director Liu may like you. Lin Nan said in a very surprised tone.
Fan Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered Lin Nan's mouth: "This can't be nonsense, this, how could he like a girl like me......" Xiaoxiao originally wanted to add another sentence "I'm not beautiful and incapable", but she decided to leave a little bit of self-esteem for herself.
Lin Nan took Xiaoxiao's hand away from his mouth: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, as far as I know, except for you, Liu Shangke has never taken the initiative to pour coffee for any female employee." After speaking, Lin Nan gave Xiaoxiao the coffee back with a look and went back to work. Fan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to return to her desk and prepare to start work, but she found that her brain was blank except for constantly flipping through the copy. Ever since Lin Nan said the sentence, "Director Liu likes you." After that, Xiaoxiao's mind kept appearing Director Liu's face.
To tell the truth, Director Liu is considered good among men around thirty-five years old, but he still maintains a toned figure in middle age, and there is often a thin layer of cheeks and beards on his angular face, all of which makes Director Liu look manly.
Then why is it that at this age, Director Liu is not married yet.
Because his temper is so stinky. It is rumored in the company that Director Liu once slapped a female employee because of work problems, and Director Liu often reprimanded his subordinates loudly because he was dissatisfied with his subordinates' work during meetings, so that almost all female employees in the company thought that he would definitely be a domestic violence man, so they rejected him very much in their hearts.
But the most important thing is that Director Liu's attitude towards women is too arrogant, he never takes the initiative to talk to women, and maintains a serious expression all year round, making it impossible for people to approach.
Director Liu doesn't dislike women, right? This is the question of all female employees in the company so far, and this may be the only answer to explain these phenomena.
