17. Overtime (4,000 per day starting today)
Peng Ruihan's words really refreshed Xia Zhi's perception of her. Xia Zhi felt that his work attitude could be described as conscientious, and Peng Ruihan was really better than himself.
I'm not afraid that others are better than you, but I'm afraid that people who are better than you will work harder than you. Xia Zhi sighed, no wonder it is difficult to find a job now, high-achieving students with graduate degrees can work hard for one or two thousand jobs, what reason does she have not to worry?
Peng Ruihan's familiarity and seeking truth from facts also made her secretly admire, and she felt very relieved to have such a work partner. Okay, she's out of the way, with the goal of half a month, and the limit of one month, she wants to put out the internal magazine.
Xia Zhi was full of fighting spirit under the infection of Peng Ruihan, and after returning to the office, he even waived his lunch break, and directly turned on the computer to write a call for papers.
In one afternoon, Xia Zhi ran several departments to coordinate the drafting matters, and expanded the company's profile into a newsletter of more than 3,000 words.
She was so busy that she didn't even bother to take a sip of water, and her head was groggy when she typed in the last full stop of the manuscript.
She let out a long breath and leaned back in her chair, rubbing her two index fingers against her temples.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a prompt in the lower right corner of the computer monitor that it was already 6:40, and my colleagues had already left work, and even Peng Ruihan didn't know when she left-Xia Zhi only remembered that she seemed to have greeted herself when she left.
Once she entered the state of code, she forgot the time and did not recognize her six relatives.
It was already completely dark, she packed her things, and when she walked out of the office, she received a call from Pan Rui: "...... You haven't come back yet? …… Do you have to work overtime on your first day at work, so busy? The canteen is almost gone, I'll get you a meal? ”
Xia Zhi twisted his neck and said, "Okay, you give it to Yiqing, I may not be back so soon." ”
On the first day of work, she inexplicably worked an extra shift, and she also felt that she was too stupid.
She said to herself in her heart, she must not work overtime tomorrow. said that there was overtime pay, but Cheng You also told her that this is something that needs to be applied, and the company didn't require her to work overtime!
Xia Zhi thought so, but the next day, after she was really busy, she unconsciously delayed until half past six before getting off work. For the next few days, she was always the last one in the company to leave.
During rush hour, traffic jams often make her unable to squeeze the bus, and when she returns to the dormitory, it is often past eight o'clock.
She left her meal card to Xiao Yiqing, and asked Xiao Yiqing to help her bring a meal every day, but she didn't let Pan Rui send it over, and the two didn't see each other for four days.
She was so tired that she choked. When I go to work, my head has been running at high speed, but I don't feel very tired, but what is uncomfortable is that after work, I am squeezed in the car and barely touch the ground, and after squeezing the bus and the subway, I have to walk for almost half an hour to return to the dormitory.
She felt that the fatigue of the commute was even greater than the hard work of going to work, and of course, it may be that the sleepiness of the backlog of the day was released on the commute road after more than an hour.
In short, every night when she stepped into the dormitory, she had no energy at all, she had eaten and bathed, and she went to bed early at nine o'clock, and she didn't have any thoughts of dating.
Every day before going to bed, she would talk to Pan Rui on the phone, and one night, she fell asleep without even saying a word. Pan Rui is also very considerate of her, and he didn't have to ask her to come out.
But it's been like this for a week, and the summer solstice is a little unbearable. It's okay to know the situation, but those who don't know think they broke up.
Finally staying up until Friday afternoon, she deliberately set the alarm clock in advance, preferring to go back to do the unfinished work, and have to leave work on time today. She sent a message to Pan Rui that she was going to have dinner with him tonight.
[You may be late when you come back, there is nothing to eat, let's go out to eat, I will pick you up at the subway station. 】
Xia Zhi simply replied with the word "good", and ran to the bathroom to touch up her makeup and prepare for work.
She is not very good at makeup, she only learned it temporarily in the second semester of her senior year when she was ready to find a job, compared to Yuan Jiayi's delicate and flawless face, she felt that she could only call it smearing, so that her face looked white and ruddy.
However, Pan Rui was very interested in her change, and she was willing to dress up for him.
When she was touching up her blush in the mirror, Yuan Jiayi also happened to walk in with a makeup bag, and smiled when she saw her: "Ah, have you asked a boyfriend?" ”
She smiled and nodded. Yuan Jiayi looked at her and took out her lipstick, and shouted: "Hey, wait a minute, in fact, I don't think this color is suitable for you, you try mine." ”
Yuan Jiayi took out a golden square tube of lipstick from his makeup bag, took out a cotton swab, opened the lipstick lid and put it on the sink, and when he was about to pick a lipstick with a cotton swab, he paused and asked Xia Zhi: "I used it, don't you mind?" ”
Xia Zhi patronized and watched her elegant movements, and was stunned, and quickly shook his head.
Yuan Jiayi was almost half a head taller than Xia Zhi, she leaned down to give Xia Zhizhi lipstick, that focused look, the gesture of holding the cotton swab with three fingers, the natural cocking of the ring finger and the little finger, and the gentle hand strength, made Xia Zhi and the girls feel excited.
She thought to herself, how could there be such a sweet young lady? is still so gentle and considerate, did Cheng You save the galaxy in his last life?
"Come and see if it's better?" Just thinking about it, Yuan Jiayi had already put on her lipstick and turned her body to the mirror.
Xia Zhi smiled at the mirror, this color number looks bright but not bright, and it is indeed more spiritual.
Then, Yuan Jiayi took out her own perfume and sprayed Xia Zhi on her wrist and behind her ears, the fresh and elegant fragrance made her feel that the tiredness of the day had been washed away.
Xia Zhi thanked Yuan Jia, and the two separated.
She was full of vitality all of a sudden, always thinking if Pan Rui would be surprised to see her? When she went to the bus station and transferred to the subway, she couldn't help but trot, wishing she could see him sooner.
Pan Rui was standing at the entrance of the subway station.
Xia Zhi stood on the escalator and went up, the elevator was full of people, but people were standing on the left, and the right was empty for people in a hurry. Seeing the familiar figure from a distance, Xia Zhi stepped to the right side of the elevator and ran.
He seems to have dressed up today? Didn't wear those sloppy jerseys, didn't kick flip-flops. He looks clean and fresh in a white lapel shirt and a pair of well-fitting jeans and sneakers.
He saw her, and he turned to her, the corners of his mouth curled in an arc, waiting for her to run through the crowd to him.
She flew into his arms like a little bird, and he hugged her and smiled, "Miss me?" ”
"Well, I miss you." She said without shyness.
"Think more?"
"I really want to. Every step I take, I miss you once. ”
"That's really a big idea." He kissed her hair dotingly.
