Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

In Beijing in February 2018, even though the Spring Festival is approaching, the temperature is not freezing, although the trees have lost their leaves, bare in two teams across the road like giraffes that have lost a river, looking at each other in frustration, but the scorching sun is dazzling, falling on people's bodies, still has the power to roast them to dry their mouths.

Many migrant workers have already embarked on the road to visit relatives in their hometowns early, and a large number of locals have also flown out for vacation, so the whole city is as empty as an abandoned bird's nest, leaking on all sides, especially the business district that is crowded on weekdays is deserted because of the empty buildings, and the towering office buildings have changed from the noise of the past, sitting quietly on the ground with their cheeks crossed, like hungry giants.

A taxi drove unimpeded on the empty motorway, and the driver held the steering wheel with a relaxed posture and spoke to the passengers in the back seat: "Hey, it's the Spring Festival, just this road, usually at this point, it's impossible not to block it for ten minutes." ”

Sitting in the back row was Zhou Linuo in a black windbreaker, she was playing with her mobile phone without raising her head, and she didn't respond to half a word of the talkative driver during the whole process, but he still talked endlessly.

The driver looked at Zhou Linuo unscrupulously through the rearview mirror, and he kept asking questions with a smile, "Girl, you're not a local, are you?" Why didn't you go back for the holidays? I think you look like a southerner, an artist, right? You all engage in art with this type, this temperament, this look, right? Am I right? ”

Zhou Linuo's eyelids finally lifted, and she glanced coldly at the greedy eyes in the rearview mirror.

Her indifferent glance made the driver's heart "grunt", like a watermelon being cracked by a sharp knife - although it was disemboweled, but it was a crisp and pleasant sound.

This guest is so beautiful, the driver "tsk" in his heart, and the light under his eyes is like a translucent ice edge.

After receiving the order, when the originally bored driver saw Zhou Linuo appear in front of the car, he immediately became engrossed in the power of his whole body, black long hair, black windbreaker and black leather boots, she was wrapped in ink that could not be dissolved, which made her white and glowing 100 meters away, too white, thin, brittle like a blade trembling gently in the wind, it was a knife, not paper, because she had a sharp cold breath.

"Aren't you artistic?" When the driver saw Zhou Linuo looking at him, he thought she was going to answer, and he greeted him excitedly, "That must be related to the film and television industry?" Seeing her move her body in the back seat, she thought she had guessed correctly and laughed, "So you're an actor?" What have you played? I don't know how to look at it, but at first glance, I think you look familiar. ”

And Zhou Linuo just lowered her eyes and fell silent again, she quickly calculated her income in her heart, and then measured how much money the car was within her own affordability, and aimlessly typed "about 500,000" on the mobile phone screen to search, it was long overdue to buy a car, she was fed up with the verbal harassment of the driver almost every time she took the car, but she was too cheap to drive a car and was embarrassed to enter the company's parking lot, after all, she has now been promoted to production director, It is still necessary to establish a more authoritative image among employees, and these empty things must be piled up by not cheap external objects.

A WeChat prompt popped up at the top of the screen, and she immediately cut in to see that all contacts were set by her to "message blocking" status, except for work-related people, and Yi Xuejia.

"And guess what"

"I'm going to surprise you"

"Forget it"

"You don't like surprises"

The mobile phone continued to vibrate, and the information on the opposite side scrolled, and sure enough, it was Yi Xuejia, and Zhou Linuo immediately smiled.

Through the rearview mirror, the driver saw the scene of the iceberg melting in the sunlight and becoming a green mountain, and he was also infected with warmth, "Boyfriend? Laughing so happily, just look at it. He said happily, "The girl's boyfriend, what a blessing." ”

Because of the upward trend of her mood, Zhou Linuo finally stopped tensing her nerves, and snorted softly "um" very casually in place of a response, she quickly typed in her reply, and then looked up and said to the driver: "It's here." ”

"Titan Entertainment" has a number of branches across the country, and the main company address is located near the Workers' Stadium in Chaoyang District, Beijing, which is at a premium, and is only one stop away from the landmark "Taikoo Li", a business district landmark in the hearts of young people.

This is the sixth job that Zhou Linuo has been engaged in since graduating from Central Finance, and it is also the longest job, she was hired by the female boss herself, and she is very important to her, and she has been given enough room to rise, so Zhou Linuo finally found his favorite position in the workplace.

When Zhou Linuo passed by the coffee shop, she habitually wanted to push the door and go in to buy a cup, only to remember that she had an assistant, and stopped for two seconds before continuing to walk towards the office building, she took out her badge from the black killer bag, and the front desk security guard in a suit in the hall saw her and waved her hand to say hello, "Miss Zhou, your company is not on holiday?" You're all there in the building, right? ”

Zhou Linuo nodded politely to him in response, and she walked to the elevator entrance, standing between the eight parallel front and back stations, and stood at the door of the one that went straight to the top floor.

Titan Entertainment occupies the five floors of this office building, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31, and the staff's work arrangements are divided according to their position levels, and the general staff and core staff are distributed from the low floor to the high floor, and it took Zhou Linuo about a year to sit on the top floor.

"Who? Celebrities? The courier who was standing at the front desk and greeting the security guard asked curiously, "What have you played?" Because there are often showbiz personnel in this building, he is not surprised to see beautiful people.

"Titan Entertainment works." The security guard clasped his hands to his chest and said with some smugness, "Beautiful, right?" Better than celebrities. ”

"Not a star? Wow, isn't that a pity? The courier sighed, "That temperament is better than that of celebrities, but the personality doesn't seem to be very good, quite arrogant, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you look like that, your personality is almost there." The security guard with a double chin on his back and a double chin teased the courier and himself, "If you look like us, you can only win by character." ”

The courier also laughed and nodded repeatedly, but his eyes still lingered at the elevator entrance, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I really want to have a girlfriend like that, even if it's only half as good-looking." ”

"There's everything in my dreams." The security guard patted him on the shoulder.

Walking into the elevator door, Zhou Linuo used a badge to "ding" on the scanner, and then pressed the 31st floor, in a confined and uninhabited space, she did not tidy up her appearance in the mirror, but stared at the ground expressionlessly, constantly taking deep breaths to breathe.

It's been four years since she entered society, and she still can't adapt to being comfortable in and out of the crowd.

In order to complete a job, she must communicate face-to-face with countless people, whether it is in a small meeting of less than five people, or in a large meeting of dozens of people, she used to be unsociable, and now she must show that everything is as delicate as it is easy to come by.

The elevator door opened, Zhou Linuo walked into the glass door that automatically unfolded with a calm expression, and the two girls at the front desk immediately stood up straight and bowed: "Mr. Zhou is good!" Then, every employee who came on the way shouted like a duck knocked away by a stone, "Mr. Zhou is good!" As she spread out, she stared straight ahead, nodding back and forth from time to time, but she didn't nod to anyone, as if she had completed a ritual, until she walked into her office, and the three appearances of the week were over—

According to the contract, she only needs to work in the company three days a week when she is promoted to production director - it is okay not to come, which is not a dead rule for the leadership, but she must attend the meeting when she is notified, but because Zhou Linuo is a workaholic, she has never skipped work, and even consciously paid a lot of unpaid overtime hours.

Closing the door, Zhou Linuo really saw a cup of coffee on the desk, which was prepared by her assistant Xiaoxian, American-style unsweetened with double milk and two concentrates, she touched it with the back of her hand, and the temperature was just right.

She turned on the computer on the table, tapped the mouse to check the recent production of the periodic table, and after half a cup of coffee, Xiaoxian knocked on the door to inform her that she could prepare for the meeting, "Okay, thank you." Zhou Linuo raised the coffee cup to thank her.

Xiaoxian is a girl in her early sixties with short blonde hair, black-framed glasses, and a neutral dress, but her personality and flamboyant appearance are very different, she is a meticulous person who speaks softly.

"Sister, are you in a good mood today?" She had a dimple when she laughed, and her round face was like a hamster, and when she saw Zhou Linuo who didn't know why, she held her face and said, "It's rare to see you smiling on your face, don't you know that you're laughing?" And say thank you to me—" She hugged herself exaggeratedly, and said in a pretended panic, "Oh my God! Are you going to fire me? ”

"You have a lot of plays." Zhou Linuo then sorted out his expression, looked at her coldly and said, "If you can't bear it, I can take back my thanks." ”

"No, no, I've put it in the safe." Xiaoxian patted her chest, she knew that Zhou Linuo was teasing her, but she also knew how to stop joking in moderation, so she said while closing the door and leaving, "Then I'll wait for you in the third conference room, Director Zhang and Mr. Hu will also pass over immediately, five minutes." ”

Xiaoxian came to this company two years earlier than Zhou Linuo to do administration, the workstation has been located on the 27th floor, she is the first colleague to show favor to Zhou Linuo, and she took care of her in all aspects in the early days, so when Zhou Linuo was promoted, the first thing that came to mind for the candidate for the position of assistant director was Xiaoxian.

In some aspects—very few small aspects—Zhou Linuo feels that Xiaoxian is a bit like Yi Xuejia, she is a person who looks like she is babbling on the surface, but in fact, she is very delicate, she can take care of the emotions of the people around her, she is very comfortable with her, and the most important thing is that although she is kind, she is not stupid, and she knows how to distinguish who is worth getting close to.

At that time, when everyone in the company was hesitant about whether to befriend Zhou Linuo, it was Xiaoxian who ignored some miscellaneous rumors and took the initiative to extend an olive branch of friendship to the "noble and cold" "refrigerator" Zhou Linuo.

It was very much like a lifebuoy, so Zhou Linuo was very grateful, and wrote down this kindness in her heart, she is a person who will repay her kindness.

What's more, Xiaoxian is really a little bit like Yi Xuejia, which makes Zhou Linuo unconsciously more relaxed in front of her, which can be regarded as a small oxygen concentrator that she has in Beijing, but she will no longer need to rely on this substitute to continue her life, because Yi Xuejia is going to return to her.

On WeChat, Yi Xuejia was still excitedly popping up a message-

"I'm almost there"

"Right Away"

"Maybe you'll see me today"

"Are you happy?"

"How? I didn't break my word."

"I'm coming for you"

- "Mmmm" Zhou Linuo's face couldn't stop smiling, and he replied: "I'm waiting for you, come quickly." ”
