I dreamed about Luo Xiangdong for two consecutive nights, and the content was extremely bloody and ambiguous. This affected my mood to some extent and made me feel confused when I woke up in the morning.
After finishing packing, I walked to Luo's with my bag and took the elevator upstairs. As soon as the elevator door opened, familiar faces appeared one after another on the opposite side. They were Wang Huining, Yang Yi and other staff from the translation department.
When they saw me, they were also surprised, especially Wang Huining. She spoke first: "Zijin, why are you here?"
It took me a moment to realize that I no longer worked in the translation department, so I should have taken the elevator directly to the top floor.
It's all because I've only been working at the top level for less than a day, and then I took a long vacation for a week. I almost forgot what position I am in now.
An awkward smile appeared on my face, and I replied truthfully: "I'm used to it."
Yang Yi smiled and said, "I thought you missed us and came back to see us."
I just smiled and said nothing, thinking that even if I came back, I wouldn't come to see you.
Wang Huining was still affectionate to me as usual, holding my hand and saying, "It's still early anyway, let's go inside and have a cup of coffee before leaving."
I didn't refuse and followed Wang Huining to the translation department.
Yang Yi was right next to us. When we entered, he raised his voice and shouted to everyone who was working: "Look who's coming."
Her voice made everyone raise their heads and focus on me.
To be honest, I am in a strange position as the president's assistant. Although I did not do it voluntarily, and I did not do anything wrong behind my back, the way everyone looked at me and the messages I received overtly and covertly made me feel guilty and invincible. The feeling of martial arts.
If I hadn't accidentally gone to the wrong building, I wouldn't have chosen to come back to the translation department at this moment. It felt like... I was 'returning to my hometown in fine clothes' and came back specifically to show off.
Everyone looked at me, some were surprised, some were looking at me, but most of them still smiled and greeted me. I was surrounded by everyone and came to the tea room. Wang Huining had just asked me what I wanted to drink. Someone had already brought me a glass of milk. He said with a smile: "Zijin, don't drink coffee in the morning. It's not good for your health. Drink a cup of hot milk." Warm your stomach."
The person who spoke was a senior from the translation department. She didn’t have much friendship with me on weekdays. It could be said that we were just acquaintances. I didn’t expect that she would take the initiative to hand me a drink. She stretched out her hand to take it. I smiled and said thank you.
Yang Yi was sitting diagonally across from me. She looked at me with a smile and asked aloud: "Zijin, how is grandma's health? Is she feeling better?"
I hummed and replied, "I've been discharged from the hospital and gone home."
Yang Yi raised her eyes and said with some surprise: "So soon? I plan to visit her in the next two days."
Regardless of whether Yang Yi was sincere or fake, I always reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. I smiled and replied: "It's much better. The doctor said it's the same if you go home to recuperate."
Song Mo continued from the side: "The translation department has been so busy these days that we have to work overtime until midnight after get off work. We really can't leave, otherwise we would have gone to visit long ago."
I smiled lightly and replied, "Thank you."
Song Mo said: "Hey, look what you said, we all worked together in the translation department. Even if you are not in the translation department now, we are still friends."
After she finished speaking, everyone in the room had different expressions. Everyone knows that Song Mo and I don't have a good relationship. Let alone friends, we almost became enemies. If I hadn't suddenly been promoted to assistant to the president, would she have been so flattering to me
But there is more than one person like Song Mo who can adapt to the changing circumstances? Just looking at the people sitting in this room right now, there are a few people who are sincerely happy that I come back to sit here. To put it bluntly, they are not seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, just making fun of themselves.
I knew clearly in my mind that I should come back to see Wang Huining. After drinking a glass of milk, I stood up and said loudly: "It is a busy time for the translation department, so I won't delay everyone's work. We will meet again when we have time." "Gather."
Everyone also stood up with a roar, and then went out together to see each other off.
When I was leaving the door of the translation department, I saw Dong Jianan who came to work wearing high heels and a professional attire. She seemed not to have expected to see me here again. Her expression was a little stiff for a while, even though she After a few seconds, he put on a slightly embarrassed smile and said, "Zijin, you are back."
I had no choice but to smile, pretend that nothing was wrong, and say hello: "Yes, you just came to work."
What we both talked about was nonsense. We were college classmates who once experienced laughter and tears together. Now, in just a few months of work, we have turned into colleagues in the workplace who don’t agree with each other.
At this moment, even I had to admit that there was a real estrangement between Dong Jianan and I. And this estrangement is not as simple as I thought at first. I thought that I only need to explain a few words, or at most, apologize.
I deceived Dong Jianan because of Luo Xiangdong. If I was still in the translation department after the incident, then maybe there would be room for change between me and Dong Jianan; but now that I have become the person next to Luo Xiangdong, Dong Jianan will even think that I am behind his back. I did something secretly and tried my best.
Maybe in her heart, all my deception and hiding were to achieve this goal today.
She no longer regards me as a friend, but as a distant colleague. I feel uncomfortable in my heart, but there is nothing I can do about it. After all, I have done everything I can do.
After everyone said hello politely, I left the translation department and took the elevator directly to the top floor.
The atmosphere on the top floor is even more different from that downstairs. No one working on this floor will gather in small groups to gossip about others, and no one will obviously act according to the prevailing situation. Of course, it's not because of the high quality of the people here, but because the people who can climb to this level have surpassed basic intelligence and transformed into human spirits.
Because everyone is a human spirit, human spirits will always be cautious when they come into contact with human spirits. You don’t ask me to knock you down in one fell swoop, but you ask yourself not to do anything wrong and let the other party find an opportunity to knock you down.
These words were all said to me by Kitty after she left the Luo family.
I didn't quite understand it at the time. After all, I never imagined that one day I would reach this level.
The elevator door opened and I walked straight to my office. I met many unfamiliar faces on the way, and everyone smiled and nodded in greeting.
I suddenly thought of a saying, many friends are many roads, many enemies are many walls. The smarter a person is, the less likely he is to make enemies easily.
On the way, I also met Han Xuetong who was coming out of the office. After she saw me, she smiled and said hello: "Good morning."
I also replied: "Morning."
There were no unnecessary words, she didn’t even ask me how it was at home, we passed each other, she went to Guan Yue’s office, and I returned to my own office.
After closing the door and being in an independent space, I breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. Only then did I realize that from the first step on the top floor, I had been nervous and even defensive.
I was afraid that the people at the top would look down on me because I was an airborne trooper, but it turned out that I was overthinking it. Everyone has a lot to do, so let alone me, they probably won't say anything about me even behind my back, for fear of getting into more trouble in the future.
Sitting on the leather chair behind the desk, I looked at the clean desk in front of me with only a mouse pad left, and the file box was empty. What on earth do I do on the top floor? You can't just let me sit here every day.
Being bored, I had to turn on my computer and wonder if there were any internal emails.
After turning on the computer, before I could check the internal emails, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge headline on the home page, which contained the gossip headline: Luo Xiangdong, see you on Tuesday!
As soon as I saw the three words "Luo Xiangdong", I immediately became energetic. I didn't know what the content was, so I quickly clicked in to read it.
Inside the news page was a frontal photo of Luo Xiangdong wearing a formal suit, with the following caption: According to a report from the senior media studio 'Zhou Papi', Luo Xiangdong, the richest man in Night City, is currently having a secret relationship with Luo Xiangdong. Girlfriend, the two had dinner together, and Luo Xiangdong personally drove his mysterious girlfriend to the hotel.
Nowadays, entertainment journalists are very good at playing. If they catch any news, they will not break it immediately. Instead, they will give everyone a sweetener first, selling it off enough to make enough gimmicks. Today is obviously Monday, but I want to say see you on Tuesday.
'Zhou Papi' is a well-known studio in the industry that specializes in news scandals of celebrities and rich people. It was previously reported that a certain female star seduced the director; a certain man stepped on all kinds of problems; a certain charity entrepreneur was actually a sexist behind the scenes. sm hypocrite.
As long as the news was broken by 'Zhou Papi', no matter how hard the parties initially denied it or even filed legal proceedings, it was still confirmed that the news was true. Therefore, 'Zhou Papi' studio is also famous in the industry, and it can be called the conscience of the entertainment media industry.
As soon as I saw the words 'Zhou Bapi', my first reaction was that the news was true. Immediately afterwards, I focused on key words such as eating, sharing a car, and returning to the hotel.
That night, I did have dinner with Luo Xiangdong, and he drove me back to the hotel. Could it be possible... I was the one who was photographed!
I was suddenly so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. I sat on the chair and couldn't even move my fingers.
My head was buzzing, and for a moment, I lost the ability to think normally. If the person who was photographed was really me, then I would be at a loss to defend myself. Not to mention whether I would have to explain it to the people around me, how would I explain it to my family once the news came out
I still remember when my mother asked me where I was, I kept telling her that I was at a friend’s house.
If the photos of Luo Xiangdong and me entering the hotel were exposed, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I jumped into the Yellow River, and in a place as big as a palm in Liangcheng, they wouldn't have pierced the backbone of my family.
When I thought about what might happen next, I was on pins and needles. I almost immediately took out my cell phone from my bag and called Luo Xiangdong.
