Ding-a-ling...

Tonghua sat up and stretched, then turned off the alarm on her cell phone. She looked at the unfamiliar room and decoration in a trance. Her brain short-circuited for a moment and she couldn't remember where she was.

After sitting on the bed and thinking for nearly a minute, my brain finally started to work normally and I remembered that she moved yesterday.

"I don't know how far this place is from the company?" Tonghua muttered with half-open eyes.

When thinking about work, the brain of a social animal is instantly like a shot of cardiotonic, and immediately wakes up.

Tonghua threw back the quilt and hurriedly washed up, while opening the map on her phone to check the bus route.

It turns out that this place is quite close to the company, only a ten-minute walk at most. It used to take more than an hour by car, but now it is much more convenient.

Seeing that it was still early, and thinking that she had moved out and was finally free and no longer had to endure her stepmother's anger, she hummed a song with joy.

Hummed for a while

Hey, wait, now that her goal has been achieved, then the marriage certificate is useless.

When she thought of this, Tonghua shuddered all over. No wonder she always felt that she had forgotten something important last night.

Since the marriage certificate is no longer useful, we can get a divorce. There is no need to move here.

After all, living with a man you are not very familiar with as a couple has a very subtle fairy-tale feeling.

Although the man was the most handsome person she had ever seen.

Tonghua was so frustrated that she kept slapping her head, wondering why she had been bewitched and agreed to move in and even signed a prenuptial agreement?

Maybe she was experiencing a series of blows at the time and was forced to live on the streets and become homeless, and the man's appearance was like a ray of light, who pulled her out of the abyss of being abandoned by the whole world with a tough and unyielding attitude.

Of course, Tonghua firmly refused to admit that part of the reason she followed him involuntarily was because of his model-like figure and appearance.

"Give."

Looking at the steaming coffee that suddenly appeared in front of her, Tonghua turned her head and saw that it was her colleague Li Ji.

Tonghua took the coffee and said thank you.

"Tonghua, what's wrong with you recently? You asked for leave yesterday afternoon, and you were distracted at work today. Are you not feeling well?" Li Ji sat on the chair on the right and looked at her with concern.

"It's okay, I just had some things happen recently, so I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Department Director Xiao Wei happened to pass by and said, "Tonghua, you've been in the company for two years. You work hard and never come in late or leave early. We've all seen it. If there's anything you really need, just tell us and we'll do our best to help you."

In Xiao Wei's eyes, Tonghua is a very good employee who works hard and seriously, has a positive attitude, and has a good relationship with his colleagues.

Yesterday was the first time Tonghua asked for leave since joining the company for so long. Xiao Wei still remembered the anxious look on Tonghua's face when he asked him for leave. He didn't want Tonghua to be affected by some trivial matter.

Li Ji also nodded at the side. Seeing the two people's concerned eyes, she raised the corners of her lips slightly and said to them with a smile: "Director Xiao, Li Ji, I'm really fine. The matter has been handled. Thank you for your concern."

Seeing that Tonghua didn't want to say more, Xiao Wei didn't force her and patted her shoulder to show encouragement.

Seeing Director Xiao leave, Li Ji pulled a chair closer to Tonghua and whispered, "Tonghua, are you still volunteering at the nursing home every week?"

Tonghua felt a little confused. She had mentioned that she was doing volunteer work on weekends when she was chatting with her colleagues in the tea room. Li Ji didn't show much interest at the time, so she didn't know why he suddenly brought it up.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Li Ji blushed slightly and scratched his head as if a little embarrassed. "Well, I don't have much to do on weekends recently. I thought since I'm free anyway, I might as well volunteer like you."

When Tonghua heard about volunteering, she immediately became excited. The nursing home is in urgent need of staff. After all, in today's society, people are very indifferent to each other and don't care about anything that does not concern them. It's rare to find someone so enthusiastic.

In fact, Tonghua only worked as a volunteer for a year and a half. After graduating from university, Tonghua joined the big company she works for now with her own efforts.

Every weekend when she was resting at home, Tonghua could only watch her father, stepmother and younger brother having fun together. She felt like an outsider who had accidentally entered this family and felt out of place.

Moreover, the stepmother always hinted that Tonghua had found a job and it was time for her to take out some money to pay for her rent.

Tonghua could only pretend not to know what her stepmother meant. Not to mention that she had been preparing meals for a family of four every holiday since she was a child, even though this house was left by Tonghua's mother, her stepmother had no right to ask Tonghua to pay rent.

Fortunately, he met a friend who knew about Tonghua's situation and suggested that he try volunteering.

Therefore, whenever she has free time on weekends, she will go to the nursing home to volunteer so as to avoid being disliked by others by staying at home.

After chatting for a while, she and Li Ji immediately agreed to go to the nursing home together this weekend.

"I have to go to a meeting now. Please give this document to Secretary Li later."

Manager Li Liyang placed the documents on the fairy tale table.

"Okay, Manager."

She took the documents and went to the 64th floor.

In fact, she had never been here before, and it was not quite the same as she had imagined.

The roads here are winding, and the doors are different from the transparent glass doors in ordinary offices. There are no department signs, and you can't see what's inside the house.

After walking around and reaching the end of the corridor, Tonghua found that the door of a room was open.

When I got closer, I saw that the room was not big, only about five or six square meters, but it was filled with all kinds of things and looked very cramped.

At the innermost part is a sofa that looks super fluffy, an office chair, a desk and a computer. If the desk is moved forward a little, it will almost touch the door.

The left wall was filled with an entire bookcase of books, and surprisingly, it was a room full of comic books.

There was an ID card on the table that read "Assistant to the President". It was different from the ordinary printed one and was obviously handwritten.

"Finally found it." She breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of the president's assistant, she is so willful that even her ID card and office decoration are so casual.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Tonghua probably thought that someone had gone out for something. She put the document in the most conspicuous place on the desk and turned to leave.

What she didn't know was that at that moment, a man wearing a white T-shirt and black overalls, whose attire did not at all resemble that of a business elite, walked from another aisle to the door of the small room with an opened bag of potato chips in his hand.

Looking at Tonghua's receding figure, he looked thoughtful: "Why is she here too?"
