Her colleagues only give her a look that says, ‘you are on your own.’
Zhuang Nai Nai can only resign to her fate and goes down.
By the time she reaches the restaurant called ‘He He Gu’, she orders 50 take-outs. She asks them to be as fast as they can as she waits by the sideline.
After around 15 minutes, all the takeouts has been wrapped. She stares at the lunchboxes. This will take her at least 3 trips.
Just as she is about to leave, the cashier steps up towards her, “Miss, the total for everything is 1100 yuan.”
She stares at the cashier dumbfoundedly.
Never mind the fact that she didn’t carry her handbag with her, even if she does, she wouldn’t have enough money to pay for all that.
Her face turns a little bitter, “I forgot to bring my bag. Why don’t you send these back to my office with me, I will give the money to you there.”
The cashier gives her a difficult look, “Sorry miss, but we are a small shop and are short of staffs at the moment. Why don’t you call your colleague over?”
Call her colleague?
She doesn’t have the number of any of her current colleagues.
In this case, she can only call for Assistant Ji and ask for help.
Just as she opens her phone and starts browsing her contacts, a male voice greets her, “Zhuang Nai Nai?”
She turns to look at a man, who seems to be around 27-28 years old.
He is wearing a suit, all neat and tidy. He looks like one of those successful young men before their thirties. His face is warm and is full of smiles. He gives people a really good impression.
The only problem is…..
“You are?” She carefully asks. This man looks familiar, but she cannot remember where she has seen him before.
The man laughs amiably before saying, “You’ve forgotten me? I am a graduate from Beijing University’s Design Department, four years older than you. We met when I returned to my alma mater during the university’s celebration.”
Zhuang Nai Nai finally remembers him, “You are Senior Su Jin Hui!”
Su Jin Hui was a famous senior in her department because he managed to enter Di Hao Group’s Design Department. He even managed to become the Assistant Department Head.”
He smiles at her, “Yes, I am.”
After saying that, he takes out over 1000 yuan from his wallet and hands it over to the cashier.
Zhuang Nai Nai hastily waves him off, “No need! I…….”
Seeing her that way, Su Jin Hui kindly says, “It’s okay, you can just return it to me later. I will be at office room 1818.”
“Thank you!” Actually, Zhuang Nai Nai also feels embarrassed to call Ji Chen over to borrow some money from him. This is better.
When Su Jin Hui sees all that take-outs, he says, “Let me help you—-”
Before he even finishes speaking, Zhuang Nai Nai cuts him off, “No need, you should go back to your lunch, senior!”
What a joke it will be if she really lets the Design Department’s Assistant Head to carry lunchboxes for her…
Besides, she snuck a glance…. He hasn’t finished eating….
Zhuang Nai Nai carries some of the take-outs and quickly walks out, “I will come back for the rest later!”
He He Gu is right in front of Di Hao Group. She carries around 20 lunchboxes all by herself and crosses the road. When she reaches Di Hao Group’s lobby, all eyes fall on her. She enters the employee’s elevator.
It is at that moment that the president’s elevator suddenly dings open.
