Part 2 Chapter 1 A Sudden Blind Date
The fluorescent lights were so white that they made people sleepy.
Zhu Xiaolan wanted to get off work early and go back to sleep well, she had been working overtime until the early hours of the morning for four consecutive days in order to catch up with the few drawings handed over to her by the director. She looked at the number in the lower right corner of the computer, and then looked at Zhang Xiu, who was doing nothing in the next seat, and said, "Sister Zhang, I'll get off work and leave first!"
Zhang Xiu hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The director's picture is finished? She just told you not to be busy, I have something to tell you!"
Zhu Xiaolan had to sit down, a little depressed. She is not a person of good words, nor does she know how to refuse others, but also a person who does what she says, so she is basically the person who works the most overtime in this plumbing design team. Zhu Xiaolan felt that she was very useless, and she obviously felt aggrieved in her heart, but every time the director handed her the drawings with a smile, she still couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so she could only work overtime to draw the drawings obediently.
Zhang Xiu saw Zhu Xiaolan's small face buried in the thick collar, and said, "Are you still so afraid of the cold?
"It's windy outside, it's spring, but why is it so cold this year!" Zhu Xiaolan watched the time pass slowly, rubbed her blue eyes, and really wanted to sleep.
As he spoke, Director Chen walked in from outside, saw that Zhu Xiaolan was still in her seat, and said with a smile: "Is the picture ready?
Director Chen is over 50 years old, seems to be a rich and kind woman, and is one of the first designers in the city to engage in plumbing design, so she is very famous in the industry. She leaned over to Zhu Xiaolan's seat to look at the drawings she had drawn, and said, "When it's over, get my computer on it, and I'll review it!" After speaking, she smiled and said, "You come in with me and talk about something!" After speaking, he entered the office first.
Zhang Xiu said enviously: "Xiaolan, the director is smiling right in front of you." You're her high-ranking disciple!"
Zhu Xiaolan was a little complaining, and said, "Sister Xiu, you have to like it." You've drawn all those piles of drawings!" Zhu Xiaolan looked dumbfounded, not stupid in her heart. She knows that she has become a thorn in the side of some people in the group, although it has not yet reached the point of not getting rid of unhappiness, but she does have a knot in her heart when facing the ground every day. She has also reflected on her own behavior countless times, in addition to being more serious and serious, she is almost a good person without principles. How could anyone be at odds with her? She never understood that.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand, that couldn't be done. The director looks kind, but the work requirements are very strict, the slightest mistake has to be redrawn, and she is not emotional, she has to live a young and chic life, but don't waste all her good time on the computer and the pile of drawings.
Zhu Xiaolan walked to the director's office, which was small but facing the window. The air and light are excellent. The director buried his head in cleaning up the drawings on the table and said, "Sit, what are you doing standing?!"
Zhu Xiaolan pulled a stool and sat down. The director looked at Zhu Xiaolan's listless appearance and said with a smile: "Tired? There are more projects. Your mother, you're feeling better, aren't you?"
Zhu Xiaolan was a little flattered. Busy nodding. Four and a half years ago, when she just graduated from school, she found an internship in this design institute, and her mother was worried that she had not been exposed to the society and was afraid of being deceived, so she rushed up from her hometown, and then observed the working environment of the design institute, and chatted with the director for a long time before leaving satisfied. Since then, my mother has called the director every once in a while, so this is one of the reasons why Zhu Xiaolan never dared to jump in front of the director.
"It's good, I went to the temple to recite the scriptures some time ago!" Zhu Xiaolan replied respectfully, every time the director mentioned his mother, it would be no good thing.
"At the end of last year, your mother told me about your affairs, and I remembered that I arranged a job for you every day, and your personal problems are still a big problem!" The director looked at Zhu Xiaolan with a look of horror with a smile, and said: "Is your mother also worried about you, how can such a big person who has never been in love solve lifelong matters!"
"I'm not in a hurry!" Zhu Xiaolan hurriedly refused.
"Young people don't say they're in a hurry, but when they get older, they're so anxious that they can't do it, and if they look for it randomly, that's wronged themselves! You are a girl's family in the city, and you don't have any relatives to rely on, your mother and I have a good taste, so I will take you as a junior, so I went back to take a good look at it during the New Year, and I really found a few people of the same age, and I arranged for you to meet!" The director said quite firmly, and she was sure that Zhu Xiaolan couldn't say a word. She likes this girl at a glance, she is quiet and generous, she is also serious and careful in doing things, and she is very obedient and obedient. She has worked in the hospital for four years and has not had any problems with all the drawings, she is definitely not late for work, she will not complain about overtime, and she has no dissatisfaction with the distribution of bonuses. A subordinate like Zhu Xiaolan is her favorite and baby.
Zhu Xiaolan couldn't say anything when she saw the director's smile and expectation, so she had to nod her head in agreement, but she was apprehensive! What is a blind date? Such an unthinkable thing happened to her! She couldn't imagine two people who she didn't know at all sitting at the same table talking about family history, work, income, hobbies, and expectations for the future? Just thinking about it made her get goosebumps all over her body.
Seeing Zhu Xiaolan nodding, the director breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I just have time today, I will invite you to dinner and meet people by the way!"
Zhu Xiaolan touched her pale face, is she so anxious? She has been working overtime for several days in a row, her face is dull, and her dark circles are thick, so it's scary to go to see people like this!
Seeing Zhu Xiaolan's puzzled look, the director hurriedly said: "It's not a formal meeting, so it doesn't matter if you order casually! The other party is also in our business, so I can understand!" The director picked up his big bag, "Let's go, get off work early today, it's okay."
Zhu Xiaolan roared in her heart, Director, you are fine, but I still have a lot of drawings that I haven't drawn!
The director affectionately took Zhu Xiaolan's arm and walked out of the office, seeing Zhang Xiu gritting his teeth. This Zhu Xiaolan knew that she was behaving in front of the director. It seems that the director can't see anyone else in his eyes, obviously he is a junior who entered the hospital later than her, but her signature has begun to be on the drawings. She moved her mouse wildly. What kind of work is serious, it's not just stupid. I know that overtime is not flexible at all.
"Don't take the bus today, let's go to the ground!" The director took Zhu Xiaolan's hand, beckoned a taxi and sat in the co-pilot, and Zhu Xiaolan had to sit in the back. The director turned his head and said, "This person I saw today." The son of a relative in my hometown, 30 years old! A very good young man, who used to do interior design, and is also somewhat famous
Zhu Xiaolan looked at the driver's uncle's head a little bit in embarrassment, obviously listening to gossip, so she blushed slightly and agreed vaguely.
"He's the same as you, and his family is in a small county, so he can't help him. So he works alone. I just like this kind of guy very much, he is driven and driven. Where are some people who have a little money at home. I didn't do anything. "Gnaw at the old man!" gushed the director, "but. You have to like this yourself, after all, it's just that I look good. He and we used to work together on projects, I don't know if you remember?"
Zhu Xiaolan shook her head, she usually doesn't pay much attention to the people who come and go in the courtyard, she buries her head in painting and painting every day, it's good to be able to remember a familiar face, where is there still brain capacity to remember names.
The director didn't pursue it, and said: "You were asked to buy a house at the end of last year, did you buy it?"
When it comes to the house, Zhu Xiaolan is worried... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!]
