Chapter 001: Ten

Next Chapter

In early spring, the midday sun is not very strong, and the streets are still chilly.

Since the morning, it has been raining continuously. The raindrops blew with the breeze, which made Li Bingde, who was walking on the road, subconsciously tuck his clothes.

Li Bingde's mind was thinking about the workflow in the afternoon and the customer requirements that had just been sorted out before lunch.

Maybe it's because he's thinking about business, Li Bingde at this moment looks a little unapproachable. As his phone rang, he switched his take-out lunch to his other hand and pressed the answer button while he turned down the volume of the call.

Ahh

Listening to the sudden scream mixed with crying from the Bluetooth headset, Li Bingde frowned impatiently. The screamer sounded as if he was trying his best to vent it. The howl full of resentment like a young beast, in addition to unwillingness, seems to be as powerless as that of a young beast.

Pooh! Boom - Boom !! Bang! Bang!!

A series of cracking of porcelain interrupted the man's crying, and then another woman's voice was heard scolding, "Is it enough! How long have you been torturing me?"

Bah--oh-woo! Poop!

With that, there was another series of sounds of porcelain shattering and heavy objects falling to the ground. Faintly, you can hear that the cry did not stop, but turned into a whining and low howl.

"One year, two years...... It's not getting better at all! Wait? How long will we have to wait? I can't wait, I want a solution today!"

The owner of the cry remained silent, but continued to cry in a low voice.

Li Bingde listened as he pushed the door and walked into the elevator lobby, standing casually on the side of the elevator door. The crisp sound of porcelain shattering was heard again in the Bluetooth headset. One sound was not enough, and several more came in succession.

"It's just a little bit late, do you need to keep pumping like this? It's only five minutes, and I think you're the only one who can't get by!"

Xu Jingjia's cries and Xu Jingjia's mother's screams and scoldings came and went, accompanied by the occasional sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and breaking various fragile objects as accompaniment. Even though the volume has been turned down, it still makes Li Bingde feel harsh.

Li Bingde seems to have been used to such situations for a long time, and he is not surprised that no one on the other end of the phone seems to want to talk to him.

During the lunch break, the elevator lobby was full of people, and people who came and went cast curious or strange glances at Li Bingde, who was standing aside and did not enter the elevator, and some familiar colleagues nodded to him to say hello. He didn't care, just listened to the sound in the headphones.

The soft music played in the elevator lobby seems to gradually blend with the farce of Xu Jingjia's mother and daughter, reflecting another kind of interest. He gradually furrowed his brow, as if listening to a symphony of great pleasure, and after a long time, he hung up.

As soon as I returned to the door of the company, I saw Esther, the secretary of the boss, Mr. Zhang, standing at the reception to pack up my things. Esther raised her eyes and saw Li Bingde coming, so she greeted Li Bingde with a smile: "Louis, what's the good thing? Laughing so happily?"

Li Bingde was stunned, unconsciously touched his face, and asked, "Is there one?"

On the other side, Zhou Muqing was processing the work report at hand, picked up the vibrating mobile phone and pressed the answer button, and skillfully reported the name of the company in English. Halfway through speaking, I heard the sound of crying in my ears, and suddenly remembered that I was not connected to the company's landline, and I was secretly annoyed.

Zhou Muqing lowered the volume of the call, and his typing hand slowly slowed down and ended up a little. Then, Zhou Muqing completely shifted her attention to her phone, busy using the three-person conference function to transfer the call to her company landline, so that she could continue to listen to the content of the call.

From the cry on the phone, you can hear that the man's mood has eased a little more than just now, and the cry of pain has turned into a low sob.

However, after only a while, Xu Jingjia began to get excited again, and her crying became louder.

I heard Xu Jingjia raise her voice again and scold, "Don't you know how much I want to eat chicken wings? Did you say you were deliberately going against me? Why cut their skin? Why should I eat chicken wings if they have no skin?" Then he cried again, sounding a bit heartbroken.

Zhou Muqing couldn't help but look at the clock on the computer screen, 4:18 p.m. Zhou Muqing secretly thought in his heart, there were less than two hours before it was time to get off work, but Xu Jingjia was only having lunch now, maybe it was the first meal of the day.

Thinking of this, Zhou Muqing unconsciously laughed contemptuously.

Just as Zhou Muqing changed her posture complacently, she found that Xiao Bailian, who had been a new employee of the company for more than ten days, didn't know when she was standing beside her.

I don't know how long Little White Lotus has been standing.

For a moment, Zhou Muqing's expression froze. While listening to Xu Jingjia's mother's kind words persuading Xu Jingjia on the phone, she put on a polite smile with a little formula, and asked Xiao Bailian what was the matter with her eyes.

Little White Lotus said hesitantly, "If Sharon you have anything to do, I can look for you later."

At this time, there was a sudden "bang" sound in his ears, which frightened Zhou Muqing. Xu Jingjia's mother then scolded sharply, "Enough! Do you like to eat or not!? You've been repeating these things on and off for almost an hour......" Xu Jingjia turned a deaf ear and continued to cry to herself.

Zhou Muqing smiled unnaturally at Xiao Bailian, said a few words into the microphone in English, and hung up the phone in a hurry. Patiently, he raised his head and asked Little White Lotus, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Muqing doesn't like Little White Lotus very much, which can be seen from the code name she gave her.

From the first time he saw Little White Lotus, Zhou Muqing knew that Little White Lotus and Xu Jingjia were the same kind of people.

People like them have been fed and drunk by their parents since they were children, and they don't hear the wind and rain outside the window. When she came to the workplace, although she was not so squeamish that she always played a petty temperament to accommodate others, she didn't have any eyes at all, she always asked this and that when she was busy, she never took it to heart when she was busy.

When something happens, he will only innocently open his eyes and look like a neighbor.

Seriously, she really doesn't eat this.

After Zhou Muqing finally solved the problem of Little White Lotus, she realized that it was time to get off work in a blink of an eye. Zhou Muqing couldn't help but roll his eyes, and just like that, there were no precious two hours.

However, the appearance of the little white lotus did not ruin Zhou Muqing's rare good mood that day. Zhou Muqing picked up the phone again, and unsurprisingly, the phone had already hung up, and it seemed to be not long after she hung up. Even so, Zhou Muqing can still imagine the subsequent development of things.

Zhou Muqing cleaned up casually, touched up her makeup, picked up her handbag, and said to Raymond, who was sitting not far in front of her, "I have something to do today, so I'll go first."

Raymond over there didn't raise his head, but waved his hand casually to hear. Ah Feng in the rear blew a whistle at Zhou Muqing and coaxed, "It looks good, does Sharon have an appointment?"

This commotion caused Raymond and Steve, who were originally concentrating on their work, to look at it, and they all smiled evilly, as if they were very interested in this gossip. Zhou Muqing couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Don't make trouble." I walked to the lift lobby.

Halfway through, Xiao Bailian recklessly ran out of the corner and almost ran into Zhou Muqing.

I only heard Xiao Bailian say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." After that, seeing Zhou Muqing holding a handbag in his hand, he said flatteringly, "It's really rare, Sharon, you left so early."

Zhou Muqing smiled noncommittally and said casually, "Yes, bye." And he went on. thought to himself, this little white lotus is really the same as Xu Jingjia.

No, maybe a little better than Xu Jingjia, at least her job is full-time.

Thinking like this, Zhou Muqing walked to the elevator lobby. Although it was the company's prescribed end time, there was no one in the lobby. This is the norm in Zhou Muqing's company, generally speaking, she has to work at least two hours of overtime every day. If it weren't for the appointment, she probably wouldn't be standing here at this point in time.

While waiting for the lift, Zhou Muqing carefully checked his clothes and makeup through the mirrored wall in the lobby, trying to find even the slightest flaw in that delicate figure.

After repeated confirmation, it still failed.

This result made Zhou Muqing very satisfied. Zhou Muqing immediately showed the person in the mirror a smile that she thought was perfect.

Poop!

When the elevator came, Xu Jingjia's always plain face flashed in Zhou Muqing's mind, making Zhou Muqing hurriedly walk into the women's bathroom next to the elevator, wipe off the lipstick that suddenly looked a little bright, and replace it with another more natural and elegant lip color.

Although Zhou Muqing himself thinks that she is not inferior to Xu Jingjia in the mirror......

Although Zhou Muqing also knows very well, the chances that Xu Jingjia will attend tonight are not at all......
