Chapter Twenty-Eight: When the Pain Is Over, It Doesn't Hurt Anymore
The next day, even though I was trotting into the office, I was still late.
While going through the entry procedures for me, the director of the secretariat said to me in a weird way: "The company's working hours are fixed, and as an employee of Midsummer International, you must first abide by the company's articles of association." ”
"Starting tomorrow, please also ask Miss Xia to abide by the work and rest time, now is Midsummer International, no longer the Xia Group, you can let Miss Xia do whatever she wants."
"Yes, Director! Please call me Xia Yiqing! I looked at her and replied without being humble or arrogant.
"Xia Yiqing, ha! Assistant Xia, then send two cups of coffee to the president! Two cups! ”
After saying that, she glanced at me, turned around with the registration book and walked away on her high heels.
I went to the pantry and got two cups of coffee and served them on a tray to Sheng Teng's office.
I knocked on the door and entered the office, and was about to open my mouth when a scene in the office stung my eyes. It turned out that Xiang Manni was in Sheng Teng's office, and at this time she was snuggling in Sheng Teng's arms and talking about something, laughing and trembling.
Sheng Teng changed his previous bleakness and calmness, and looked at her with a pleasant face, which was very delicate.
Maybe this is the true portrayal of their daily life! Just like he did to me.
When she saw me coming in, she didn't restrain herself at all, and raised her voice to say to me, "Yiqing, why are you?" ”
Then he playfully patted Sheng Teng's shoulder, "Ah Teng, why don't you tell me when Yiqing stays in the company?" Great, otherwise the Xia family is suddenly gone, Yiqing will definitely be sad, you will take care of her more in the future, you see, how can you let her serve tea and pour water, no matter how you say it, Yiqing is also the eldest lady! ”
Her words sounded heartwarming, but they poked at my sore spots.
"Yiqing, hurry up and put it here!" Xiang Manni beckoned to me, very enthusiastic.
I took my attention and looked at Sheng Teng's hand around her waist, not knowing what to say for a while, although I tried hard to calm myself, the hand holding the tray trembled slightly.
"Yiqing, why did your forehead hurt? How? ”
Sheng Teng raised his eyes and glanced at my forehead, frowned slightly, and then looked at Xiang Manni indifferently and said, "Leave her alone, you continue to say, what do you want me to do?" ”
Xiang Manni withdrew her gaze from me, leaned into Sheng Teng's arms, and hooked his neck with both hands, "Do you do whatever I ask you to do?" So good? ”
"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”
Hearing her approval, she smiled and said to Sheng Teng, "It's good that you just want to take the time to help me talk, I'm too lazy to see that director, he is very ...... Hehe, you know, I hate him to death, just come forward, lest I see him! But no matter how you say it, whether you win the award this time or not, he has a vote. ”
Sheng Teng smiled gently, "Well, good! ”
I lowered my eyelashes and took two steps forward, placed the tray on my desk, and put down two cups of coffee.
Sheng Teng did not shy away from pinching Xiang Manni's thin waist in front of me, and then hugged it into his arms, "I won the award, what reward do you want!" ”
Xiang Manni smiled skillfully, "I hate it!" Be serious! ”
I pretended to turn a blind eye, and I was just about to turn around and leave, but she immediately stopped me, "Yiqing, don't take it to heart what happened last time, I really didn't know that kind of situation would happen, I regretted it for a while afterwards, and I don't know what you would think!" ”
My body stiffened and I didn't pay attention to it? That's my dad's life, so it's easy not to take it to heart?
"Ah Teng, serious, tell you serious things, don't let Yiqing do this anymore, I look at it and feel heartbroken, she is the eldest lady of the Xia family after all, what do you let your snobbish secretaries think of Yiqing! Now let's bring tea and pour water. ”
Sheng Teng glanced at Xiang Manni with a straight face, and said coldly, "People have to face reality, they can't be ambitious, they must put themselves in the right position at any time, and don't do things that shouldn't be done." ”
I clutched the tray in my hand, and I knew that his words were implying that I had climbed into his bed without making my place unclear.
I gritted my teeth and steadied myself.
Xiang Manni looked at me, "Yiqing, don't be too yourself, this is the Sheng family's world, you don't have to work so hard!" ”
I pretended to smile lightly, "Thank you, Miss Xiang, this is the reality, I have to face it!" Don't bother anymore! ”
With that, I turned and walked steadily outward, burning with each step as if I were stepping on coals.
I tried hard and softly to inhale softly, calming the bone-eating tingling.
I told myself that if I lost everything, I couldn't lose myself, and that only by learning to overcome myself was to really stand up.
Drop the tray and walk back to your place.
My position is in a corner, no matter how you look at it, it looks like superfluous, I laughed, it was originally an excuse for Sheng Teng to humiliate me, of course it was superfluous.
Maybe I'm new and I haven't been assigned a more suitable job, and I've become a secretariat worker, and I'm being instructed by those people to keep my feet on the ground.
They drank coffee in private and whispered, "Who said that God is unfair, who will say that I can be anxious next time, you see, doesn't it verify God's fairness in front of you?" ”
"Of course, feng shui takes turns, don't be too powerful, think about when you get off the altar! People are cheap! ”
"Xia Yiqing, go to the front desk to pick up the express mail from the secretariat!" The director shouted.
I quickly got up and went downstairs, and when I saw the express, I realized that it was not one, it was a box, a very large box.
This is the first time I have moved such a heavy box, I entered the elevator I put the box on the handrail panting, the edge of the handrail is too narrow, I struggled to hold on to the box, and finally survived to the top floor.
I took a deep breath and picked up the box and tried to move it out quickly, but I collided with Sheng Teng, who was holding Xiang Manni and wanted to enter the elevator, and the box fell to the ground with a 'bang', and the mail inside was scattered all over the ground, inside and outside the elevator box.
He instinctively took Xiang Manni back, lest he hit her.
"I'm sorry!" I panicked and froze in place.
"How?"
Sheng Teng questioned angrily, looked at it fixedly, but saw that it was me, he frowned, and glanced at me unhappily, but his eyes stayed on the wound on my forehead, and his pupils shrank.
When the director heard the voice, he hurriedly ran over, saw the mail scattered all over the place, and Sheng Teng, who was standing there with a cold face, busy with a smiling face.
"President!"
Then he lowered his face angrily and scolded me, "Xia Yiqing, can you still do a beautiful thing?" Clumsy, can't do this at all? "That face became faster than a book.
"I'm sorry!" I quickly crouched down to clean up the mess.
"Do you know that these emails will contain important objects, you ......?"
"You know she's clumsy and makes her do this? Isn't it a dereliction of duty on your job? Sheng Teng looked directly at the director in a cold tone, "What?" Can't the Secretariat even find a single person? ”
"Yes, President!"
The director came over and squeezed me hard with his leg to vent his anger, I was concentrating on picking up the falling things, not paying attention to her small movements, she squeezed her ass and fell to the ground, her hands instinctively supported her body backwards, and pressed it on a box at once, or it could be that the things in the box were broken, I don't know what it was, and stabbed straight into my palm.
"Ahh
I raised my hand as if I had been stung by a scorpion, and my palm was already bright red.
"Oops! Yiqing, your hand hurts? Why are you so careless? Xiang Manni exclaimed.
Sitting on the ground was so embarrassed that I looked at my bleeding palms, didn't speak, and struggled to get up.
"Hurry up and deal with it, watch out for tetanus!" Xiang Manni shouted at me.
Sheng Teng stood in place and stared at everything that was happening in front of him, then turned to the director, a cold light flashing in his dark eyes.
The director shouted in panic, "Xiao Chen, hurry up and help Miss Xia deal with it!" Why did you fall? ”
Hearing her words, I looked at her like a torch, "Don't you know how I fell?" “
The corners of her mouth twitched.
"I'm sorry!" I said calmly, exited the crowd, and walked to the bathroom.
When I turned on the faucet, the cold water rushed into my palm, and the pool was instantly bright red.
I don't know why, but I feel a strange pleasure.
At this time, I realized that blood was gushing out of the palm of my hand in several places.
When I returned to my position, Xiao Chen brought me a box of alcoholic noodles and a band-aid.
"Miss Xia, disinfect it yourself! Can I help you? She looked at me and asked softly.
I smiled gently at her, "Thank you!" I can do it myself! ”
"Oh well! It's going to hurt, but let's treat it with an alcohol swab! The tap water is not clean! She gave me a special admonition.
"Okay, I got it!" I glanced at Xiao Chen, she was a very delicate girl.
She thought about it for a while, glanced around again, and still opened the box of alcohol swabs for me, and whispered to me, "The president asked you to bring it to you!" ”
My heart jumped.
I didn't say anything more, and used tweezers to pick up a piece of alcohol cotton and press it directly against the wound.
In an instant, a pain hit me, I trembled, frightened Xiao Chen trembled, and asked me in a trembling voice: "Is it so painful, you slow down!" ”
"It's okay, it's all painful, and it won't hurt anymore!" I told her, but I was actually saying it to myself.
It wasn't until the band-aid was applied that Xiao Chen left.
Because of the injury of my hand, in the afternoon I was responsible for sorting out the information sent by Xia, which I like to do very much, although my heart is a little heavy, but I am doing it, while looking at the information very carefully, I want to know more about Xia's past.
Maybe that's the only way I can get to know Xia.
Of course, my palms hurt a lot, but it hurt my heart even more, and this pain stayed with me until I got off work.
Walking out of the building, the mood seemed to be much clearer, and before he could go far, Qiao Xin's call came in.
"Hey, how's it going? Is it going well today? ”
"Well, well!"
"Then why are you listless, what do you want to eat, say, let's get high!"
"Forget it, let's go home! My mom doesn't know what to do! ”
"Then you wait downstairs in your company for me to pick you up, and I'll accompany you home! It's just that it's inconvenient for you to take the car back! "Qiao Xin made arrangements, and I had to worry about her.
I strolled down the street and waited there for Joshin to pick me up, it was the end of the day, and there were a lot of people on the street, and the traffic was very noisy.
The sunset hit my face, and my heart, which had been cold for a day, gradually warmed up.
Shengshi Group's current Midsummer International is located in the south of the most prosperous Jinjiang Plaza, even around the largest and most prosperous square, Midsummer International Building is also outstanding.
The big screen in the square was playing a cosmetics advertisement shot by Xiang Manni, and I was engrossed in looking at the face that was more delicate after the remodeling, guessing what she really looked like behind each smile.
I don't know why, in the dark, I always have a feeling that the matter of the inspection report is not so simple, and I have always heard Sheng Teng's cold roar in my ears, "Idiot!" ”
I always associate these two words with Xiang Manni's face.
"Yiqing!"
I looked for prestige, but I saw a handsome man with a jade tree in the wind, gentle and elegant, walking gracefully towards me with his long legs.
The gloom in my heart suddenly drifted away, and I ran towards him with a smile, "Brother Haonan! How are you! How did you get back? ”
