Chapter 004: Seven

Zhou Muqing leaned on the dining table in the pantry, staring at the number jump of the microwave countdown, and smelling the aroma of the meal faintly wafting from the microwave oven.

"How are you? It's rare to see you stay at the office for lunch." Zhou Muqing listened, turned his head to look at the person, but it was Dave, the designer of the design department. Dave was holding a simple black water glass in his hand.

"It's nothing, the boss just assigned the project of Yurong Fang to our group before lunch, I want to take advantage of the lunch break to see the information of this project." Zhou Muqing smiled casually.

Zhou Muqing's department is responsible for search engine optimization, and occasionally cooperates with Dave's department, and the company that the two of them entered at the same time can be regarded as chatty among colleagues in the company.

Dave frowned after listening to Zhou Muqing's words, and while tearing open the packaging bag of instant coffee, he asked, "Didn't your group just recruit new people a few days ago? Why do you look as busy as before? Isn't the newcomer inefficient?"

Overtime is the norm in their industry, and their manager is an enterprising person with extremely high requirements, not to mention many projects, and the requirements for effectiveness are not low. It is precisely because of the recruitment of new personnel that if the efficiency of the new personnel cannot keep up, the work can only be shared by other team members. The team members complained casually that it was nothing, but if it was Zhou Muqing, the team leader, who complained to their colleagues, it would be completely different.

Moreover, Little White Lotus's work efficiency is not bad at all.

Zhou Muqing replied unhurriedly, "Don't say that, who hasn't been a newcomer? Yvonne is very serious about her work, and she is willing to ask questions when things happen, and she doesn't make claims. It is...... I don't have some experience, and my interpersonal interactions are not tactful enough." As she spoke, Zhou Muqing's lunch had been heated, and she stepped forward to turn on the microwave oven and took out her own lunch.

"So, you don't have a bad opinion of her." Dave paused, took a sip of his coffee, and quipped, "Really, old friends like us don't tell me the truth."

As soon as Zhou Muqing turned around, he looked up and met Dave with a completely disbelieving expression.

Zhou Muqing was stunned when he saw this, and then replied angrily, "Did you hear something from somewhere?" Too many people in the company is not good here, it may just be a random sentence, but the speaker has no intention of listening, and in the blink of an eye, he does not know what it will be misinterpreted.

"But how did I hear that you dislike people for being squeamish, asking about everything, and not being able to work independently?" Dave still spoke in utter disbelief, with a sense of certainty in his words.

"Where?" Zhou Muqing felt a little funny, she had never been in the habit of talking nonsense in the company. So, she added calmly, "Whoever asks me, I'm the same."

Zhou Muqing's tone was casual and not serious, so Dave didn't argue with her again, but told her in a persuasive tone instead, "Don't say I don't remind you...... I don't know how many people are staring at this little beauty in the whole company, if someone says that you are jealous of other people's youth, beauty and popularity, it is not good for you!"

In the final analysis, Dave is sure that Zhou Muqing dislikes Little White Lotus.

Listening to Dave's more and more words, Zhou Muqing began to be a little impatient, and didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. Zhou Muqing turned to face Dave, his left hand crossed his waist, looked at Dave with his head held high and full of confidence, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Jealous of her? Do I need it?" After that, he gave Dave a blank look.

Zhou Muqing walked out with his lunch in his hand and said, "I haven't said anything bad about her."

At least, Zhou Muqing absolutely never said anything bad about Little White Lotus to the people in the company. At the same time, Zhou Muqing's mind flashed a fragment of what he said when he complained to his family about work.

Before Zhou Muqing reached the door of the pantry, Dave passed her, turned around and slowly glanced at Zhou Muqing from top to bottom, and at the end, his eyes gradually revealed appreciation, and his attitude was ambiguous and unclear: "It is really not necessary, but also... It's not impossible......" Before the words fell, he turned and left.

Zhou Muqing looked at Dave's back, angry in his heart, wondering why Dave was determined. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone from the neighboring group sticking his head out of their group's room, observing the movement here. In the long empty aisle, the man looked at Zhou Muqing with empty eyes, and even if he found that Zhou Muqing's gaze turned to him, he still did not withdraw his gaze.

Zhou Muqing's heart jumped suddenly, turned his gaze back as if nothing happened, and hurriedly left the aisle. Based on Zhou Muqing's lack of impression of this person, he guessed that he was the newcomer YY who was recruited at the same time as Xiao Bailian in the neighboring group.

Returning to his seat, Zhou Muqing saw that several folders from other departments and his boss had been added to his desk, and his mobile phone had received a login verification code message from the app Tinda. Zhou Muqing put down the lunch box heavily, unlocked the phone irritably, and found that the verification code of this app had been received several times before, and she couldn't remember that she had installed this app. She rummaged through the apps on her phone, but still couldn't find them, so she couldn't help but curse, "What inexplicable and wonderful things!"

Syllable!

Li Bingde subconsciously took the oncoming folder and suddenly came back to his senses.

When I looked closely, it was Jun Zai who had just come out of Mr. Zhang's room, and Jun Zai threw over was Jia Sicong's project related to product voting and lucky draws. I saw Jun Zai's face gloomy, and before Li Bingde could ask, the telephone landline on Li Bingde's desk rang.

Line 2 is the internal phone of the boss, Mr. Zhang.

Li Bingde answered the phone and listened to Mr. Zhang say, "Louis, come to my room." As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the line. Listening to Mr. Zhang's tone, it was obvious that he was in the middle of a seizure.

At about two o'clock, soon after Mr. Zhang returned from a report with Jun Tsai, he began to summon people into his room, first the junior engineer Ah Guang, and then Jun Tsai, both of whom had taken over the project of Jia Si Kang. Li Bingde once secretly helped to do some finishing work, but this was handed over privately between Jun Tsai and him, and it stands to reason that Mr. Zhang should not know.

"Dead boy, did you come out for me?" The words were asked, but the tone was not angry. Li Bingde also understands Jun Zai's difficulties, after all, Jun Zai dragged his family. However, understanding is understanding, and it is a bit inauthentic to confess him in this way.

"Brother De, I didn't come out for you. Mr. Zhang guessed it himself." Jun Tsai said helplessly, his face gloomy, obviously also holding back his unhappiness.

Li Bingde knew that it was useless to dwell on these things now, so he asked, "What happened to you just now with Jia Sikang's people?"

Chief Jun Zi let out a long sigh and said, "That website hasn't worked since the beginning......

"Why?" Li Bingde interrupted Jun Tsai's words and asked. At this time, the landline on Li Bingde's desk rang again, and it was still the inner line of Line 2.

Li Bingde glanced at the CCTV in the upper left corner of the room and immediately answered the phone.

"What are you doing all the time? Are you busy? Why don't you come back tomorrow?" As soon as Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he immediately hung up, and his tone was extremely impatient.

Li Bingde didn't delay any longer this time, picked up the folder of Jia Sikang with one hand and was about to leave.

Jun Tsai in the back stopped Li Bingde and said, "Brother De, it's a timepiece! Someone embedded a timepiece in different parts of the page."
