The corridor, like the community, is rather old, but not very run-down. Gray mud floor, Su Hao walked upstairs step by step, and arrived at the third floor. One floor has two households. Key inserted on door 301, door not closed tightly. She pulled it out, opened the door, and walked in. The lighting inside was still good, near the kitchen and dining room a bit darker.
It is an old-style suite, opposite just two rooms.
Closed the iron door, then closed the wooden door. Su Hao pushed the suitcase into the master bedroom, came out and started cleaning.
It’s quite clean here, and actually didn’t need much cleaning. After finishing, near noon, she had no appetite, sat on the sofa, scrolled through her phone, first reported safety to Su Xi, then took photos of the residence, sent to mother and Liao Yun one by one. Afterwards, she entered the contacts, typed “Zhou Yang.”
Zhou Yang’s WeChat immediately came up separately.
Didn’t remember when she added him, added but never spoke. During those years she was busy, had no time to play WeChat.
Clicked in, Su Hao went straight to the point.
Su Hao: How much did you advance? I will pay you back.
Sent, she waited.
About five minutes later.
Zhou Yang: XXXX
Su Hao transferred the money over.
Another seven or eight minutes later, he accepted.
Zhou Yang: This is the lease contract.
Su Hao: Okay.
She opened the contract to see, rented for half a year, one-month deposit, one-month payment, no property fee. Water and electricity plus rent together looked quite cheap. Most importantly, she could afford it.
Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, saved the photos.
The chat page fell silent. She hesitated, clicked on his avatar, and entered his Moments.
At most, displayed three days.
In these three days, two posts were made.
The first one was about an aviation paper.
The later one was at a racetrack, many good cars, also many handsome men and beautiful women. His figure was far away, only vaguely could see him smoking.
Wearing black T-shirt and long pants, in the crowd, it was very eye-catching.
Su Hao looked for a while, silently withdrawing.
His life, originally very different from hers.
Liao Yun also had no work experience, could not give Su Hao advice. Su Hao could only read more books, hoping what she learned could be applied. Early the next morning, Su Hao carried a small bag out. Not familiar with traffic, so I directly took a taxi to Feijie. Feijie’s sign was easy to recognize. Arriving after rush hour, the lobby only had scattered people.
Su Hao took the resume, walked over, and looked for the front desk.
The front desk clerk looked very pretty, delicate makeup. Took the resume, glanced, then lowered my head to see a memo, said: “Go directly to the sixteenth floor to find General Manager Zeng.”
Su Hao took the resume, smiled, and said: “Thank you.”
The front desk nodded, no longer caring about Su Hao.
Su Hao walked to the elevator, pressed the floor.
Here it is overly bright, even shadows could be printed. She was a little uncomfortable, and would subconsciously look at the printed shadows.
Ding, the elevator door opened.
Su Hao walked out, asked briefly, turned to the financial director’s office, looking for General Manager Zeng. General Manager Zeng was on the phone. Hearing the assistant’s voice, I raised my head, looked at the woman standing next to the assistant. General Manager Zeng froze for a second, then realized this seemed to be the financial assistant arranged by Assistant Lu yesterday.
Assistant Lu did not explain who she was, but Assistant Lu dared to arrange like this, maybe had some connection with General Manager Zhou, although unconfirmed.
General Manager Zeng spoke two more sentences, hung up, nodded at Su Hao, “Come in.”
Su Hao took out the resume, walked in, and placed it on General Manager Zeng’s desk.
“I’ve seen this. You are Su Hao?” General Manager Zeng glanced at the resume, tapped the desk with fingers, and asked.
“Yes, General Manager Zeng.” Su Hao politely said.
General Manager Zeng raised hand: “Sit.”
Su Hao sat down.
General Manager Zeng said: “We’ll chat briefly, deepen our understanding.”
“Okay.” Su Hao was a little nervous inside, but calm-faced, looked gentle. General Manager Zeng asked questions while observing Su Hao.
No makeup?
Only lipstick?
Skin is not bad.
But looks too homely and virtuous.
This type… should not be related to General Manager Zhou much.
Also, General Manager Zhou doesn’t eat grass near the nest.
General Manager Zeng immediately relaxed a lot. As long as I was not a girlfriend or wife of the boss, pressure was not so high.
After a light chat, General Manager Zeng was quite satisfied with Su Hao. Su Hao felt a stone fall from her heart. Zeng’s assistant came in, took Su Hao to the finance department.
The finance department already had three people: one cashier, two accountants.
The cashier called Chen Yu, slightly younger, had a fairly delicate look.
Two accountants, one called Lu Mimi, slightly older than Chen Yu, but also looked young, very glamorous, wearing very high heels, and a bit arrogant.
The other accountant is very steady, called Zhang Xian, the oldest of the three, three years older than Su Hao, a bit strict.
After entering, Zhang Xian pointed to a desk, told Su Hao to organize the desk first.
Lu Mimi saw Su Hao, tutted, turned back, and continued busy with her own work.
Only Chen Yu winked at Su Hao, greeting her.
Su Hao returned a smile, stood by the desk, began sorting invoices, reimbursement forms, etc.
After ten in the morning, the sixteenth floor of the Feijie elevator opened. Assistant Lu carrying documents followed Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang held the phone, looked down, and snorted. Long fingers edited after a while. Passing the finance department, he raised head casually, narrow eyes glanced over.
I saw a woman in black A-line skirt and white shirt standing by the desk. Suit skirt accentuated figure, front and back curves, waist slender as willow, black hair like ink.
Just the back view, already evocative.
Zhou Yang paused, looked a few more times.
Who is this?
He tilted head, about to ask Assistant Lu.
The woman turned around, side face exposed, then raised head looking over, and saw Zhou Yang. Eyes met, Zhou Yang saw her bare-faced look clearly.
He paused, half a second later, and raised an eyebrow.
Then walked away briskly.
Su Hao also returned gaze, continued her work.
Assistant Lu hurriedly followed Zhou Yang, before leaving, and looked at Su Hao several more times. This is the new financial assistant, Su Hao.
The desk was already cleaned, Su Hao classified and placed forms, then heard Lu Mimi stand up, took Chen Yu’s account book, “I’ll hand it to Zhou Yang for you.”
Chen Yu pouted, but seemed helpless, angrily watched Lu Mimi’s high heels clicking away, and turned to complain to Zhang Xian.
“Taking advantage of General Manager Zhou favoring her, directly calls by name! Hmph.”
Zhang Xian seemed disdainful, “Hurry record accounts, count cash in safe. One person can’t finish, so ask Su Hao to help.”
Su Hao heard her name, immediately turned, waiting to be called.
Chen Yu glanced at Su Hao, smiling: “Then come help me.”
“Okay.” Su Hao, eager, couldn’t just keep tidying the desk. I walked over, pulled a chair, and sat beside Chen Yu.
Chen Yu picked up an account book, many entries clipped, pointed at the computer screen: “You enter them one by one, finish tell me.”
“Okay.”
Busy until eleven forty in the morning. Su Hao knew where to eat. Chen Yu took her downstairs to the second floor self-service canteen. The whole canteen was decorated fashionably, the entire building Feijie, so employees all came to the second floor to eat.
Most were young, development department, engineering department. Each greeted Chen Yu, asked who was beside Chen Yu.
Chen Yu smiled, introduced.
Su Hao, initially timid, later more comfortable, greeted with a nod and smile.
Two took meals, dishes, and soup, and came to a high table by the window. Air conditioning cool, sat down, Chen Yu exhaled: “Cool.”
Su Hao first sipped soup.
Before her, floor-to-ceiling glass could see the first floor. At this moment, a big red Maserati drove to the building entrance.
The sunroof opened, a woman in a short sleeve crop top sat in the driver’s seat, holding phone, raising head scanning. Face glamorous, beautiful, like a flamboyant rose, extremely dazzling.
Everyone at this row of high tables looked at her instantly.
She even stretched long legs on the floor, about to stand.
“Coming to see General Manager Zhou again, but he’s in a meeting.” Chen Yu giggled, tapped glass, making clang sounds.
Just left, the meeting room door closed, lights on inside, Zhang Xian also called to the meeting. Su Hao took a bite, looked at the woman still on the phone, seemingly impatient. Nearby eating Lu Mimi tutted: “Said girl chases boy, like gauze. This Miss Li is still not giving up.”
“Been chasing a long time.”
Chen Yu leaned to Su Hao, confronted Lu Mimi: “At least General Manager Zhou responded, will succeed sooner or later, don’t believe, wait and see.”
Lu Mimi rolled eyes at Chen Yu: “Only you know!”
“Think looking gentle and virtuous will make Zhou Yang like you? Hmph, he doesn’t like your type.” Lu Mimi with red nails tapped Chen Yu, extremely contemptuous. Su Hao silently moved back a little, avoiding getting caught in battle.
She looked down, and continued eating quietly.
“I’m not gentle and virtuous.” Chen Yu opened mouth to bite.
Lu Mimi snorted, glanced at Su Hao, immediately said: “Also, seeing Assistant Su, I realize you can’t even be gentle and virtuous.”
Chen Yu furious, almost rushed to hit Lu Mimi.
Just then downstairs, bang, car door closed.
Miss Li stepped in high heels, holding phone, and walked up the stairs. A red Maserati arrogantly parked at the entrance.
Everyone watched her disappear on the stairs.
Chen Yu no longer scolded Lu Mimi, lowered gaze to eat, and said: “What’s wrong with being gentle and virtuous, General Manager Zhou has no taste.”
“Just like thorny roses, hmph.”
Voice very small, murmured.
Sounded a bit unwilling.
Su Hao glanced at her.
Chen Yu is delicate, makeup heavy, obviously coming for him.
When she chased him, didn’t know his preferred type.
Bare-faced.
Always doing gentle deeds.
She smiled, sipped soup.
After lunch, fruit was delivered. Each had a lunchbox. Su Hao and Chen Yu each took one upstairs. Ate slowly, elevator less crowded, a bit empty.
I arrived at the sixteenth floor, the elevator dinged, and the two walked out. Looked up, saw Miss Li outside the meeting room, long legs swinging, impatiently waiting.
At this moment, the meeting room door opened. Zhou Yang tugged collar, came out, met Miss Li: “I still have a meeting this afternoon, you come to eat at our canteen?”
“Then not impossible.” Miss Li stood straight, voice delicate.
“Fine.” Zhou Yang took a cigarette from Assistant Lu, about to light, glanced at Su Hao. Chen Yu quickly greeted: “Good noon, General Manager Zhou.”
Zhou Yang smiled: “Good.”
Su Hao nodded: “Good noon, General Manager Zhou.”
Zhou Yang also nodded.
Su Hao pushed open the office door, walked in with Chen Yu.
The door was closed.
Blocked Miss Li’s gaze. Su Hao sat on an office chair, opened a fruit box, and pressed the phone for WeChat.
She reached for it.
It was from Zhou Yang.
She paused, swiped open.
He sent two photos.
All men.
All handsome.
One a bit of a bad-boy type.
Su Hao hesitated, chose this one, forwarded to him.
Su Hao: This one.
A few minutes later, WeChat dinged.
Zhou Yang: Good choice.
Su Hao: You picked well.
