209 Mermaids in Modern Times (5)
Early the next morning, the mermaid was the first to step into the office, sweeping the floor, boiling water, opening the windows for ventilation, and watering the green plants - he was the most diligent and active, mainly considering that the knowledge stored in his mind would be insufficient sooner or later, and the pace of life and work of the people on the earth was so fast, and if he did not progress, he would regress.
Since breakfast is not provided in the cafeteria, helping to buy breakfast has become one of the daily tasks of the mermaid.
He opened the door lightly, rode his scooter, and went out to buy breakfast.
Ten minutes later, he stood in front of a breakfast shop, took out his mobile phone, and found the meals ordered by his colleagues last night, buying them one by one. At Mu Guang's suggestion, the breakfast money was given in advance, and Mu Guang was mainly worried that Ji Mo's kindness would not be reciprocated, and there would be any unpleasantness among colleagues.
Thankfully, the colleagues in the field have gotten along well so far.
Twenty minutes later, the mermaid rode back to the station, busily putting breakfast on the table, and colleagues got up one after another, yawning for days, picking up chopsticks, drinking porridge, eating rice rolls, and nibbling on steamed buns.
"Huh? Hasn't the boss gotten up yet? The mermaid was curious, he knew that Mu Guang was also used to getting up early, and often drove him to breakfast.
Colleague Liu Hui gnawed on buns in a trance, his eyelids were swollen, and he said weakly: "The boss woke up, I saw him drive out." ”
The mermaid was stunned for a moment, "Go out to run errands so early?" Looks like it must be urgent. However, he was not very surprised, because Mu Guang worked very hard, which can be seen from the acquaintance of the two.
Five minutes later, Mu Guang drove back, and the mermaid heard the movement at the door and went out to look in wonder.
"Boss, why did you come back so soon?"
Mu Guang parked the car and lifted two extra-large bags from the passenger seat, which were filled with all kinds of bread and pastries, and the aroma was overflowing.
"Wow~~~" The mermaid instantly smiled, and said in surprise: "Boss, you passed by Cai Diexuan again?" ”
Cai Diexuan is at the other end of the city, and Mu Guang stops every time he passes by, and buys a few big bags back.
As for why Cai Diexuan? Why do you always buy bread as a snack? Mu Guang refused to think about it before, but since yesterday noon, he can finally think about it in detail.
"I bought it by the way, see if it's you...... Flavors you like. Mu Guang smiled and handed the bag over.
The mermaid happily took it, "Thank you, boss!" I bought you breakfast, go in and eat. After saying that, he happily ran in, put the bag in the middle of the table, and said, "Everyone, the boss invites, come and eat!" ”
A group of technicians' sleepy bugs were finally chased away, and after thanking them, they rushed to pick out their favorite variety of fresh and delicious bread and pastries.
"Wow, this tart is still hot!"
"Leave me one."
"I think their freshly baked wife cake is the best."
"The key is freshness, and if it's fresh, it's delicious."
A group of young men with an astonishing appetite swept away the food in an instant.
The mermaid also ate several breads, and under Mu Guang's repeated reminders, he didn't dare to eat the bread crumbs and lick the packaging bag, and happily echoed his colleague: "I also think the freshly baked wife cake is delicious, but unfortunately the bakery is too far away, and I can't buy it if I go a little late." ”
"yes, if only you could buy it on the street outside."
"Hey Jimo, next time you go to buy it, remember to help me bring back the cheese bread, I want the freshly baked kind."
"Oh, if you go, remember to help me buy some radish offal and roast chicken across the street."
……
In the blink of an eye, the mermaid happily agreed to the many requests of her colleagues, and carefully wrote them down on the mobile phone sticky notes, seeing that Mu Guang frowned and sighed.
That night, the working group worked until more than ten o'clock before getting off work one after another, they each had work in their hands, Mu Guang saw the situation and stipulated the time to deliver the results, the time of the technicians was actually relatively flexible, but the workload was directly linked to the performance year-end bonus, etc., no one would be unable to get along with the money, so everyone was very active in their work.
There is only one mermaid left in the office, and he has really liked his current job: as long as he works hard, he can earn money to buy clothes, buy food, pay rent, and buy a car and a house for a few more years. I can also communicate with my colleagues every day, work and eat together, and the mermaid is extremely grateful and cherished.
"Knock~" Mu Guang, who had already taken a shower, knocked on the office door, walked over and asked, "Why don't you get off work yet?" What went wrong? ”
The mermaid rubbed her sour eyes and said, "No, it's already done, I'll save it and turn it off." ”
Mu Guang's body exuded the smell of bathing, he leaned on the back of the chair, bent down to look, the heat of his body surrounded the mermaid, and smoked him forward.
"Save it, shut it down!" Mu Guang took the mouse very naturally, nodded skillfully, and turned off the computer in the blink of an eye, "You won't hand it in until next Wednesday, you don't need to fight like this." ”
The mermaid stood up and briefly cleaned up the table, turned off the window and turned off the air conditioner, and explained: "I want to hand it in early, isn't there a new job next Monday?" ”
Mu Guang said disapprovingly: "Work should be a combination of work and rest, if you fight like this, your body will not be able to stand it." ”
The two walked out of the office together, Mu Guang turned off the lights and closed the door, and walked upstairs side by side.
"Come and take a shower, don't be so late." Mu Guang urged.
"Got it, right away." The mermaid hurried back to the room, took a change of clothes and went to the next bathroom to take a shower, and the colleagues all went back to the room to rest, of course, they hadn't slept yet, they were usually playing games, watching movies, and playing with their mobile phones, and the whole house was quiet.
After waiting for the mermaid to come in and take a bath, Mu Guang closed the door to prevent the air conditioner from running out, and the summer in Nanshi was as hot as a steamer without turning on the air conditioner, and he couldn't sleep at all.
The sound of water in the bathroom was rattling, mixed with the faint sound of footsteps, Mu Guang sat on the bay window sill uneasily, looking at the night sky outside, and there were two suppers placed next to it.
After a while, after waiting for the mermaid to wash his clothes and wring them out, on the way out of the balcony to dry his clothes, he inevitably saw the takeaway lunch box on the bay window sill, his footsteps paused uncontrollably, and then continued to walk, and when he came in after drying his clothes, Mu Guang said:
"Your dry clothes for today are in my cupboard."
"Thank you, boss, I'll just collect it myself next time." The mermaid hurriedly thanked him.
"Come and sit down and have some supper, dinner is too early, and I'm a little hungry." Mu Guang invited casually.
The merfolk hesitated, standing still.
"It's seafood porridge and shrimp dumplings, don't you like it? Then I had to pour it out. ”
"Don't!" The mermaid immediately walked over and said distressedly, "It's a pity to throw away good food, it's all bought with hard work and money." ”
Mu Guang leaned against the wall, adjusted his sitting posture, looked at the other party and smiled, stretched out his hand to open the takeaway lunch box, and pretended to explain helplessly: "No way, the boss stipulates that there are two minimum deliveries, and one is not delivered." ”
The mermaid suddenly realized, and kindly suggested: "It must be very expensive to order takeout like this often, why don't I buy you some milk biscuits and bread tomorrow?" ”
"Thanks, but no, I prefer these." Mu Guang said solemnly and urged: "Eat quickly, the porridge is going to be cold, don't worry, the portion is not much, and you can't eat it." ”
The portion size is really not much, but the freshness and taste are good.
The mermaid is very fond of seafood porridge and shrimp dumplings – to be precise, he likes all kinds of fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish, because this is the taste of the food he is most accustomed to and familiar with.
The two big men drank the small bowl of porridge in a few minutes and started to eat shrimp dumplings instead.
The two sat on the bay window sill, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was very good. Mu Guang is mature and steady, well-informed, as long as he is willing, he will never be cold; And the mermaid knew almost nothing about the earth world except for the storage in his mind, and looked at Mu Guang with great admiration, his eyes flashing with admiration.
Whenever this happens, Mu Guang feels very encouraged, and he can't wait to pour out all the interesting things he knows.
“…… The day after tomorrow is off, and if you have time, I'll take you to the beach. When Mu Guang saw that the atmosphere was about the same, he threw out an invitation.
Go, go to the beach?
The mermaid's eyes lit up in an instant, and he nodded again and again without thinking about it, he had long wanted to go to the beach, but unfortunately he was busy with other things on the first few days off, did he finally have a chance the day after tomorrow?
However, before Mu Guang had time to be happy, the mermaid immediately said with great interest: "It's really good, Brother Liu Hui and Brother Zhao have long said that they want to go to the beach to play, and they just happened to go together, it must be very lively." I've heard for a long time that there is freshly caught seafood by the sea, bought and cooked, and it is very delicious! ”
The curvature of the corners of Mu Guang's mouth flattened, and he asked disappointedly: "Ahem, are you going to ask everyone to go together?" ”
"That's right, it's lively when there are more people, Brother Zhao, they are all northerners, and they are very interested in seafood, they will definitely go!" The mermaid was immersed in the joy of approaching the sea, and did not notice the thoughtful eyes of the other party.
*****
Saturday afternoon was fast approaching, and God apparently did not hear Mu Guang's prayers, because of the rare day off, the working group almost all said that they wanted to go to the beach to play. In the end, they even decided to spend the night there on Saturday night and prepare to wake up early the next day to watch the sunrise.
Looking at the technicians' various tentative and eager eyes, Mu Guang of course knew it, in fact, as long as the situation allowed, he didn't want to be so strict with his subordinates, after carefully finishing this week's work, Mu Guang announced that he would leave work an hour earlier in the afternoon, and the young people cheered one by one, and the cooking aunt said hello early, and she didn't have to come over to cook in the afternoon.
"Hurry up, go over and have dinner again, have a good meal!"
"Is there the subway?"
"Let's take the three-way bus, direct!"
"Which hotel did you book?" Find one that is closer to the sea and it's rare to go out and have a good time. ”
Ji Mo originally ran upstairs excitedly with his colleagues, but was stopped by Mu Guang halfway.
"Ji Mo, you wait, come with me to do something first."
A group of technicians looked at Ji Mo with great sympathy, and quickly slipped away with eyebrows, for fear that they would also be left by the leader to do things.
"Oh, yes." But the mermaid was not angry, smiled and turned around and went downstairs briskly, because he preferred the feeling of being needed by work and the company rather than eating, drinking, and having fun.
In less than ten minutes, the young people rushed downstairs again, carrying a simple change of clothes, and rushed out to catch the bus.
"Be careful, Liu Hui and Zhao Gang, you two organize, go out and don't get drunk and crazy, on Monday morning, I want to see everyone go to work on time." As a project manager, Mu Guang definitely has to say these words.
Liu Hui replied loudly: "Don't worry, boss, we just went to the beach to have a big meal and watch the sunrise, and we promise to return to the station on time!" You're going too, aren't you? Let's go over and find a place to order food and wait for you. ”
Mu Guang waved his hand solemnly: "Don't wait for me, my time here is uncertain, you pay attention to safety." ”
The technicians looked at Ji Mo with great sympathy again and went out regretfully.
*****
The whole house was quiet, and only two people remained. They returned to the office, Ji Mo sorted out the information, Mu Guang replied to a few emails slowly and methodically, and after feeling that the time was about the same, he smiled and said:
"Let's go!" Mu Guang put his arm on Ji Mo's shoulder and pushed him upstairs.
The mermaid was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Oh, I've already asked just now, the information company we handed in hasn't discussed a result yet, it seems that we have to wait, it's useless to rush." Mu Guang sighed decently.
"W-Now?" The mermaid turned her head to look at the window, thinking that she should be able to catch up with her colleagues if she ran faster.
Mu Guang smiled and said, "Now that you're free, don't you want to go to the beach to play?" I just want to go and relax, so let's go together. ”
"So? But I-" The mermaid hesitated, and wanted to take out her mobile phone and call her colleague who was half an hour away.
Mu Guang stopped smiling, his face sank, and he said sadly and deprecatingly: "It seems that even you think that I am serious and mean and difficult to get along with, alas, forget it, you-"
"Nope! I didn't! The mermaid immediately nervously denied, "Boss, I don't think you're mean and hard to get along with, I just think it's not good to always trouble you." ”
"What's the trouble?" Mu Guang pretended to be puzzled, "You know, if I join Liu Hui and them, they won't be able to have fun, how can I do that kind of thing?" Right? But it's really not fun to go out alone, and I don't know how happy I am if you're willing to join a group with me. ”
The mermaid thought for a while, although he felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and finally he said, "Okay, boss, you wait for me for a while, I'll go up and clean up." ”
"Well, don't be in a hurry, you take your time."
Mu Guang whistled in his heart, sighed softly, and thought: Finally avoided a bunch of light bulbs, it's not easy to get along alone...... 166 Reading Network
