"I don't want to!" Xu Jinghao decisively refused.
Annie wanted to say something else, but she glanced at the door of the office and suddenly became quiet. Without Annie's reminder, Xu Jinghao had already heard the sound of leather shoes hitting the ground. The only person who can step so hard in the office must be the manager, Lao Guo Guo.
Soon, a big fat hand patted her shoulder, confirming Xu Jinghao's idea.
"What is Xiao Xu doing?" Lao Luo's obscene voice came from behind her head, making Xu Jing feel uncomfortable.
Xu Jinghao stretched out, moved her shoulders without leaving a trace, turned around and suppressed her nausea and smiled at Lao Luo: "Good morning, Manager Luo, I'm just preparing to sort out today's documents."
"Very good, work hard." Lao Luo retracted his palm angrily, with a hint of unfinished expression on his fat face. He pretended to look around, then turned and walked towards his office.
Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, just in time to see Annie making a vomiting gesture, and the two of them smiled knowingly. Anne glanced at the door warily and cursed in a low voice: "The old pervert didn't even look for a mirror to look at himself. He's fat, ugly and has a hunchback. He thinks about dirty things all day long."
Xu Jinghao just sighed and started today's work. But Annie came over and wanted to continue the topic, "Let me tell you about what I discovered this morning."
"Okay." Xu Jing nodded helplessly but did not stop what she was doing.
"Boss Duan from the company next door likes to bring his pet dog to work. The dog also likes to urinate and defecate everywhere. Do you know this?"
Xu Jinghao nodded in realization, "I said I always feel a strange smell when I pass by their company."
"You really don't know!" Annie stared at Xu Jinghao as if seeing the difference.
"Is it weird? I'm focused on work, not like you!" Xu Jinghao stretched out her hand to poke Annie's nose.
Annie quickly dodged away, covered her nose and said angrily: "Boss Duan forgot his dog at the company yesterday. When he came over this morning, he found that the dog was missing!"
"What's so strange about the dog getting lost?" Xu Jinghao replied casually while busy.
"Think about it, the doors and windows are closed, and even though the Chihuahua is not big, there is no way it can escape!" Annie was very dissatisfied with Xu Jinghao's reaction and couldn't help but say in a stronger tone.
Xu Jinghao still said casually, "Maybe it was stolen?"
"Looks like I can't do it without breaking the news for you!" Annie and Xu Jinghao said, "Xiao Wang from their company just checked the surveillance and found that a snake swallowed the dog!"
"This is actually happening!" Xu Jinghao finally stopped what she was doing, "If there is a snake, wouldn't we all be in danger? Why don't you ask someone to catch the snake!"
"Their company has customers every day, and they were afraid of the bad impact if it got out, so they suppressed the news and warned their employees not to leak it."
"Then you still know whether Xiao Wang said that deliberately to hook you up." Xu Jinghao teased Annie. It is an open secret that Xiao Wang from the company next door is pursuing Anne.
Annie was still not convinced, "Then what's going on with Jiang Manman's request for leave!"
Xu Jinghao had already seen through the truth and was no longer interested in this topic. She answered directly: "It's just a coincidence. This eldest lady Jiang Manman wants to take leave once a week. I can't believe what she says!"
Annie was bored and finally went to do her own business. Xu Jinghao was able to feel clean and focus on her work. After one afternoon, she found that her cold seemed to be receding. Seeing the sky reflected red by the setting sun outside the window, Xu Jing knew it was almost time to get off work, and her mood improved.
Xu Jinghao finished her work ahead of time, quietly packed up her things while Lao Luo was away, and then just waited until it was time to get off work. Xu Jinghao was secretly glad that her condition had not worsened. If she could have a good night's rest, she might be able to recover completely.
Du Xian happened to bring a bunch of documents over and asked in a low voice about Xu Jinghao's physical condition. Xu Jinghao's heart warmed, and she was thinking about whether to pretend to be seriously ill so that Du Xian could send her home. If you're lucky, you might even be able to create a chance to be alone.
"Xiao Xu!" Lao Luo appeared at the door of the office without realizing it. "There is a plan here. You can catch up on it at the company tonight."
Du Xian was stunned and blurted out: "But the manager, Sister Jing..."
Xu Jinghao quickly stopped Du Xian from continuing. Now is an important time to compete for the position of deputy manager, and he cannot give up any opportunity to perform.
"What's wrong with Xiao Xu?" Lao Luo's face turned ugly when he heard Du Xian speak, but he still asked him.
Xu Jinghao took a step forward, stopped in front of Du Xian, smiled at Lao Luo and said, "It's nothing! Don't worry if you leave it to me!"
Zhang Li appeared out of nowhere and said with a sour taste: "Oh, Xiao Xu has a cold. Xiao Du is worried about her health."
The two most annoying people in the company appeared at the same time, which made the veins on Xu Jinghao's forehead jump, followed by waves of pain in the back of her head, as if the cold she had just suppressed was aroused by these two people. Relapsed.
Although she was disgusted in her heart, Xu Jinghao still put on a smile skillfully and said, "What the hell! It's just a small cold. It's gone in an afternoon. It will be no problem to catch up on the plan at night."
Lao Luo naturally knew that the two were fighting openly and covertly, so instead of stopping him, he had an attitude of watching a show. After giving a few casual instructions, he turned around and left.
After seeing Lao Luo leaving, Du Xian whispered to Xu Jinghao, "I'll stay and help you tonight."
Xu Jinghao's words warmed her heart, but when she saw Zhang Li still hanging on, her heart sank again. Zhang Li glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "I'm afraid, Xiao Du, you have to come with me tonight."
"Why?" Xu Jing was a little out of breath.
Zhang Lijiao smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't mean it. Manager Luo asked me to pick up a client tonight, but I can't drive, so I had to make Xiao Du the driver."
Xu Jinghao heard that it was Lao Luo's arrangement, so she couldn't say anything, so she sat back at her desk and sulked.
Anne next to her suddenly stood up and cheered, "It's time to get off work!"
The sky outside the window was completely dark, and Xu Jinghao was still working in front of the computer. Unexpectedly, the plan this time was so complicated. Xu Jing spent two hours just searching for information, and she didn't even have time to finish her meal. Being hungry and tired, Xu Jinghao obviously felt that her cold had gotten worse, and she was sweating in waves.
But just now, Xu Jinghao received a call from Du Xian, saying that the client was almost finished and would come over to see her soon. Today was not all bad at last. Xu Jinghao couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of being alone with Du Xian.
Once she was in a good mood, her work efficiency also improved a lot. Xu Jinghao drafted a draft and decided to take a break first. Calculating the time, Du Xian should be on his way here.
Xu Jinghao hummed and walked to the water dispenser, but found that she didn't bring the cup with her. Secretly laughing at herself for being so busy, Xu Jinghao turned around to find a cup, but accidentally saw the office window. In the reflection of the window, she saw a long, dark shadow twisting on the wall behind her.
Xu Jinghao was startled and turned around quickly, only to find that there was nothing behind her. The office was extremely quiet at night, and Xu Jing could hear her heart beating rapidly. This fright made Xu Jinghao feel dizzy again, and she felt pain in the back of her head, as if she had been stabbed by an ice pick. She took a few deep breaths, calmed down her nervousness, and looked around for traces of the black shadow. Half an hour later, Xu Jinghao found nothing, which made her feel more at ease.
Maybe it's just an illusion. Xu Jing comforted herself, picked up the water glass and walked to the water dispenser again. Amidst the sound of water flowing, Xu Jing couldn't help but think of today's conversation with Annie.
"...Jiang Manman saw a snake in the company while working overtime last night..."
"... Xiao Wang just went to see the surveillance camera and found a snake... "
Xu Jinghao's body suddenly froze and she murmured: "Could it be... there is really a snake!"
Almost to confirm Xu Jing's good idea, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in her ears. It was as if a sinister python was quietly swimming in the darkness and approaching her quietly.
