Large raindrops fell heavily from the sky, hitting the ground with a thud.
The rain was so heavy that Zhuang Baihua stood under the eaves and looked outside worriedly.
He called the driver, but the driver chose to hide in the car because of the sudden heavy rain. The car could not be repaired for a while, so he could only contact Chen Wang to send a car over.
The road was slippery due to the rain and it was difficult for vehicles to move. It would take some time, so Zhuang Baihua could only wait at the convenience store.
The rain was pouring down and there was no pedestrian on the street. Zhuang Baihua raised his head slightly, looking at the dark night and rain outside, standing straight like a statue.
The rain that drifted in from the eaves wet the ends of his hair, bringing a slight chill at midnight.
Even though it was a bit cold, Zhuang Baihua did not turn around and go into the convenience store.
There were only him and Chi Yue here, and he felt he needed to avoid suspicion.
If you think about it carefully, two people are trapped in a small convenience store on a rainy day. Isn't this another classic plot from idol dramas
According to the original owner's personality, if she was alone with Chi Yue, she would probably push Chi Yue down on the cash register and say evilly, "No one will come to help you even if you scream your throat out!"
In order to reassure Chi Yue, Zhuang Baihua stood quietly outside the convenience store, waiting for the car to pick him up.
After a while, Zhuang Baihua heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw Chi Yue opening the glass door of the convenience store.
The warm air blew towards him. Chi Yue leaned against the door, not saying a word, just looking at Zhuang Baihua quietly.
Zhuang Baihua wondered what Chi Yue meant.
Seeing that he didn't move, Chi Yue glanced at him and turned her back to him. Only then did Zhuang Baihua realize that Chi Yue was inviting him in.
Zhuang Baihua was immediately flattered and followed Chi Yue back to the convenience store.
It was indeed much warmer after entering the store. This convenience store was not big, so naturally there was no seat. Zhuang Baihua leaned against the freezer, thinking about whether to talk to Chi Yue.
He thought about it and decided not to let Chi Yue misunderstand him, so he turned around and prepared to speak: "You..."
Chi Yue quickly interrupted him: “I’m doing well in school.”
Zhuang Baihua was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he would ask about Chi Yue's studies every time he met her, which probably made Chi Yue annoyed.
Zhuang Baihua laughed and said, "It's fine." He looked around the convenience store again, "I didn't expect you to work here."
No wonder I ran into Chi Yue so early in the morning last time. It turned out that she had just returned from the night shift at the convenience store.
Speaking of which, Zhuang Baihua had misunderstood that he was still working part-time in the entertainment venue. Thinking of this, Zhuang Baihua touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Just make sure you are safe. It's just that staying up late at night is more tiring."
"The hourly wage for night shifts will be higher." Chi Yue was a little cold today, and her sentences were short. Zhuang Baihua inexplicably felt that Chi Yue was closer to him than before.
In fact, Zhuang Baihua wanted to sponsor Chi Yue so that the child wouldn't have to work so hard to earn tuition fees, but he was worried that if he gave money directly, it would be seen as a sponsorship relationship.
Zhuang Baihua was trying to think of a solution in a roundabout way when he suddenly heard Chi Yue ask, "Would you like some buns?"
Zhuang Baihua looked at him and blinked.
Chi Yue continued, "The buns that are not sold out today will be thrown away tomorrow. They are half price now. Do you want to eat them?"
Zhuang Baihua then stood up from the freezer, walked to the cashier counter, and said with a smile, "Then give me two."
"What kind of filling do you want?" Chi Yue asked with drooping eyelids.
Zhuang Baihua stroked his chin and selected in front of the incubator: "Fresh meat and pickled mustard greens."
Chi Yue opened the lid of the incubator, put a plastic bag on her hand, took out two buns from it and handed them to Zhuang Baihua.
Zhuang Baihua tucked two bottles of water under his arms, took the buns, and asked, "How much?"
Chi Yue said: "I'll treat you."
Zhuang Baihua widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he heard.
Chi Yue raised the corner of her lips and finally smiled: "Why, are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Zhuang Baihua then opened the plastic bag, took a bite of the bun, and said vaguely, "That's not the case."
He believed that the little white flower in the original book would not do such a thing as poisoning.
Zhuang Baihua drank water and ate buns at the same time, his movements were somewhat heroic, which was totally inconsistent with his neat suit.
Zhuang Baihua used to buy breakfast at the steamed bun shop at the entrance of the community. He had no burden at all eating the buns and didn't care about his image at all.
Chi Yue stared at him intently.
Zhuang Baihua took the time to smile at him apologetically: "I just had a drink with Luo... a friend, and now I'm really hungry."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yue paused for a few seconds, put away the smile, looked away and stopped talking.
Zhuang Baihua couldn't understand what he had done to piss him off again, and thought, this little white flower has quite a bad temper, just like what is described in the book.
In the original book, Chi Yue escaped from the original owner several times, which made the original owner very angry, and then continued to capture people.
The original owner's behavior became more and more excessive, but Chi Yue never compromised, which shows that Chi Yue is a person of integrity.
Zhuang Baihua finished eating the buns with water when his cell phone rang. He looked and saw that it was Secretary Chen who called. Secretary Chen said that the car to pick him up had arrived and asked him where he was.
Zhuang Baihua gave the address, and two minutes later, Chen Wang, holding an umbrella in his hand, opened the door of the convenience store.
Chen Wang's umbrella was completely wet, dripping with water. Chi Yue frowned and said, "Put the umbrella at the door."
Secretary Chen saw Chi Yue was stunned and pointed at the two people in the convenience store: "You..."
"We have nothing." Zhuang Baihua explained quickly, "It's all a coincidence. God made us meet here."
Secretary Chen looked at Chi Yue suspiciously. Was this person really not following the president
This kind of thing has happened before. Zhuang Baihua is rich and handsome, so many people want to get into his bed. So they go to investigate Zhuang Baihua's itinerary and block his way on the road to create a chance encounter.
Of course, most of those people were caught by Zhuang Baihua and thrown into the lake to feed the fish.
Secretary Chen suspected that Chi Yue was the same.
Since the president said it was a coincidence, Secretary Chen could only add dryly, "It's fate."
Zhuang Baihua stuffed a piece of freshly bought gum into his mouth and patted his secretary on the shoulder: "Let's go."
Secretary Chen stepped out of the door and held an umbrella for Zhuang Baihua. Before leaving, Zhuang Baihua turned to look at Chi Yue and said, "Thank you."
Then the two of them disappeared together in the rain in the dark night.
Chi Yue curled the corners of her lips, lowered her head to sort the goods on the shelf, and suddenly saw a hint of red next to the cash register.
That's one dime of the note.
He reached out and pulled out the banknotes, and it turned out to be a thick stack.
Chi Yue lowered his eyes, looked at the money for a long time, and sneered: "Who still carries so much cash these days, old antique."
It's strange to say that the rain stopped immediately after Zhuang Baihua and Chen Wang walked out of the convenience store.
At least the acting should be longer, this weather is too perfunctory.
From then on, Zhuang Baihua began to run into Chi Yue frequently, sometimes on the way to work, sometimes at meetings. Even more outrageous was that one time, an employee in the CEO's office wanted to eat a certain cake like crazy, and found that only the convenience store where Chi Yue worked had it, so the employee ordered a takeaway, but the takeaway driver bumped into someone on the way to pick up the food.
This delivery man was not as lucky as Chi Yue last time. He had a fight with the person he had crashed into on the street, and both of them were taken to the police station.
So the convenience store manager sent Chi Yue to deliver the cake.
When Chi Yue walked into the president's office of Zhuang Baihua's company with a cake box and an expressionless face, everyone stared at him.
Zhuang Baihua simply wanted to scream to the sky. It was unreasonable for the plot to allow them to meet.
He couldn't be so passive. Zhuang Baihua thought for a while, called Chen Wang in, and gave him some instructions.
Secretary Chen hesitated after hearing this: "Do we really want to do this?"
Zhuang Baihua waved his hand and said, "That's it. Go find Chi Yue and ask him if he agrees."
So Chen Wang found Chi Yue, and the two had a conversation. To Chen Wang's surprise, the young man actually agreed to Mr. Zhuang's proposal.
Next, Chi Yue quit her job at the convenience store and went to work as an intern at Zhuang Baihua's company.
This was what Zhuang Baihua had come up with. He had wanted to sponsor Chi Yue before anyway. Instead of beating around the bush and letting the plot decide their fate, it would be better to just keep Chi Yue under his nose.
He just didn't believe it. He didn't want to, and Chi Yue didn't want to either. Could they still be forced to lie on the same bed
Because he was just a student, Chi Yue was assigned to do odd jobs in the General Affairs Department. On his first day of reporting, he walked directly into the company gate carrying a backpack.
This was not the first time he entered Zhuang Baihua's company. Some people had been paying attention to him a long time ago. In addition, he was handsome and impressive, so the security guards at the door were familiar with him.
The security guard came forward and asked, "What are you doing here today?"
As a security guard, the question was a little too soft.
Chi Yue stared at the security guard's head that was drooping due to inferiority complex, raised a shining smile, and said, "Come for an internship."
His smile was like the early spring sunshine falling on the snow-covered branches, melting the ice and snow and moistening the soil.
The security guard was stunned.
The news that Chi Yue was accepted as an intern spread throughout the company in an instant, and everyone was talking about it.
Is the president trying to play workplace cosplay? It’s not enough to have someone supporting him outside, he must bring him into the company.
Chi Yue was walking towards the General Affairs Department with her schoolbag on her back, and people were gossiping about her behind her all the way.
"Boss Zhuang is too unselective. He actually chose a male student."
"Only male students are popular. Look at that little face, how tender it is."
"No matter what, this is too much. We are serious employees who are asked to work with people who rely on their bodies for a living. Who are we looking down on?"
"Don't act so noble. If you had the chance to climb into the president's bed, wouldn't you do it?"
The malicious words were like knives stabbing into Chi Yue's back, but the expression on his face did not change. He walked into the office area of the General Affairs Department with a bright smile.
"Hello, seniors. My name is Chi Yue. I will be doing my internship here. Please give me your guidance."
No one paid attention to his greeting. The old employees kept their heads down and busy themselves with their own work. Only a few younger newcomers secretly raised their heads and looked at Chi Yue over the partitions of their workstations.
Chi Yue was not annoyed and still had a smiling face.
No one communicated with him, and no one told him where to sit or what kind of work he needed to do.
The people around were busy, but Chi Yue was the only one standing there motionless.
I counted to ten.
Chi Yue thought to himself and counted down to ten. If no one paid attention to him, he would leave.
Five... Four... Three... Two...
one.
Chi Yue turned around and just walked to the door, she met Zhuang Baihua who was rushing over.
Zhuang Baihua looked at Chi Yue and panted slightly: "I'm late, sorry."
Because he was in a hurry, his suit was open, revealing the vest underneath. It was neat but a little messy, which made him look more manly.
The General Affairs Department has always been in charge of logistics, and the employees there seldom have the opportunity to meet the president in person. Now that Zhuang Baihua has been parachuted into the General Affairs Department from the top level, everyone in the office area stood up and greeted the president.
There were even young girls who quickly fixed their hair and makeup and tried their best to stand in the front.
Zhuang Baihua smiled friendly at the employees, but his eyes did not linger on other people. Instead, he continued to look at Chi Yue, and his smile turned kind: "Welcome to join our company."
The president was very amiable to Chi Yue, and someone nearby murmured, "An intern made such a grand scene."
"Stop talking, or you'll die."
The president personally coming down to greet us meant a lot.
Most people would not say much even if they were jealous in their hearts, and would start thinking about how to flatter Chi Yue.
Chi Yue had already wanted to leave, but at this moment she stared at Zhuang Baihua in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhuang Baihua called the office manager of the General Affairs Department over and said in a CEO-like manner, "Please take care of Chi Yue in the future."
The supervisor was a middle-aged man. He said with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't worry," but he was complaining in his heart that it was really troublesome that the president had stuffed his mistress into their department.
Zhuang Baihua: "Chi Yue is here to intern at the company and must achieve results. Assign him some work and evaluate him at 50% of the requirements for regular employees."
The supervisor was stunned: "He is just a student, do we need to set such high standards?"
The supervisor originally wanted to provide support for Chi Yue and just get the matter over with.
Zhuang Baihua smiled: "Of course, he deserves high standards."
Chi Yue pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
"You are not allowed to complete the work for him. You must report the assessment results to me every month. If you are perfunctory or foolish..." Zhuang Baihua glanced at everyone present, then turned his gaze back to the supervisor and said, "I believe that there will be no perfunctory or foolish behavior in our group."
The supervisor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I understand, Mr. Zhuang."
In this way, the people in the General Affairs Department will accept Chi Yue, and only by really working can Chi Yue become a member of the company.
Zhuang Baihua delivered a closing speech: "Take good care of Chi Yue and let him feel the warmth of the collective. We are a big family, working together in unity and making positive contributions. We want him to feel like he is at home here, guide him, educate him, and treat him as my child."
Everyone in the General Affairs Department: “???”
You gave birth to a child at the age of eight. That's a bit exaggerated.
Zhuang Baihua corrected slowly: "Treat him as your child."
General Affairs Department Owner: “…”
Sorry, we don’t have such a child either.
