Romance

"Can't anyone with eyes see that?" The girl who spoke must be from the PR department, but Ye Yuanyin had only been there a week and hadn't gotten to know everyone yet. "She stole Qingqing's golden rice bowl. Have you forgotten last year? Mr. Chai's wife came and made a scene, and Qingqing was beaten by the hair, and she was so embarrassed."

"What's so good about that man? He's so fat and bloated, it's disgusting just to look at him. Qingqing is also a ruthless character. Even in such a state, she still refuses to resign. If it were me, I would have quit long ago!"

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? Do you think your family owns a mine? Jobs are so hard to find these days. Which working woman hasn't cried bitterly in shameful places? Anyway, I understand her."

"Based on the style of the people above, newcomers will definitely be isolated. Assistant Ye is really working hard to climb up the ladder."

"A master can only lead you in, but cultivation is up to you. Whether you can become the top prostitute in the flower sect depends on your own efforts. Do you think being a whore is that easy? Who wants to be a slave for the rest of their life? If Assistant Ye doesn't give in, how can that man have a bouquet of flowers delivered to him every day? No one is stupid. Why would you show your kindness without a promise?"

The two of them kept talking, probably deliberately looking for a place to dawdle. Ye Yuan was in a dilemma and waited for a long time before returning.

Qingqing always had a stern face. ELLa had worked with her for a long time, and whether it was collusion or personal interactions, they had long been united. As soon as she walked in, she started snarling, "Some people are such bad people. They've only been here a few days, and once they've gained power, they've become completely intolerant. They're slacking off, yet they still have plenty of work to do. We're just like them, so why should we be forced to work like slaves?"

Ye Yuan had no intention of provoking a dispute, so he pretended not to hear.

Before leaving work, Liu Ying called. She picked up the phone and her voice was full of anger, "Are you the one who usually contacts Assistant Wang from Shengjing Media?"

"yes."

"Didn't I tell you this afternoon to make sure you set a meeting time with her to sign the contract? Did you do that?"

Ye Yuanyin was stunned by the question. The other two had never confessed, so she knew nothing. How could she complain in front of others when they were all there? She had no choice but to swallow her anger and apologize, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? How dare you say sorry to me?!" Liu Ying cursed. "Ye, is your head filled with all the dirty talk you threw up last night? Can you say 'sorry' and avoid responsibility if you make a mistake? If a ten million contract goes unsold, do you know how huge a loss that would be?"

"If you really get fired from the company, there will naturally be some fat pig man to support you. But I'm the breadwinner, who will be responsible if I lose my job? Damn it, go apologize to Special Assistant Wang in person! Even if you have to kneel down and beg her, you must make her change her mind! If you can't do it, I will lose my job and take your head with me!!"

The other two couldn't have missed the loud scolding. ELLa was trying to suppress her smile without letting the corners of her mouth drop.

Ye Yuanyin hung up the phone and asked angrily, "How could you do this? Why couldn't you remind me of the information I missed?"

ELLa walked over swaying, pressed the replay button on the phone on the desk, and heard Liu Ying's instructions clearly.

"Assistant Ye, did you receive our training on your first day here? It's such a simple task, with a little effort, who wouldn't figure it out?" Her expression turned stern. "Why are you blaming us? We're all adults, each with our own responsibilities, and we're all busy. If you go out and slack off, who has the obligation to remind you? Do you think you're a kindergarten kid, needing a teacher to teach you every day? You're not dedicated to your job, so you can't blame others."

Qingqing spoke up, disdainfully saying, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Where are we going shopping after get off work?"

Ye Yuanyin called Special Assistant Wang, but the other party refused to answer the phone.

She dug out her client registration form, took a taxi, and went to the media company to look for someone. She called the front desk, but Assistant Wang said he was busy and didn't have time to meet her. She had no choice but to wait on the first floor, where two hours passed.

Special Assistant Wang is very dedicated and refuses to leave work until 10 o'clock in the evening.

Ye Yuanyin sent her a message, sincerely apologizing and asking her to give him a chance, saying that he would wait until she accepted his apology in person.

The receptionist advised her that perhaps the car had already left the underground parking lot and that she could come back tomorrow. She thought it might be too late tomorrow and didn't want to take any chances. The license plate number was private, so she couldn't get it. She could only wait patiently, like a fool.

During this time, Aunt Yang called several times, asking what time she would be back and if she wanted to keep some food for her. Hearing her warm and caring voice, Ye Yuanyin couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.

She couldn't bear to see the old woman suffer, so she asked her to go to sleep first. Before hanging up, she asked if Chen Di'an had returned.

Aunt Yang said no, only Ji Quan came home to pick up his clothes.

Ye Yuanyin hung up the phone, feeling a sudden urge to cry and laugh. Her emotions shifted rapidly. Why could someone enter her nominal home as freely as if it were a public place? Didn't they have to get his permission? What right did she have to be unhappy? After all, this wasn't her real home.

She really deserved it. She should have avoided getting involved in this mess. How could she possibly help him out? She shouldn't have agreed to Grandpa's proposal and become a hostage in their company when her emotions got so overwhelming.

It was obvious that she, the hostage, was insignificant to him and had no weight at all.

The temperature plummeted in the autumn morning. The front desk was already changing shifts.

Ye Yuanyin is a stubborn girl. If she doesn't make up her mind, then that's fine. But once she makes up her mind, she will go all the way and she won't leave until she sees someone.

At one in the morning, You Jing sent her a message saying he missed her. Then he called her again, but Ye Yuanyin hung up. He kept calling, so she simply turned off her phone.

I waited and waited like this, and the whole night passed.

The next morning at around 8:00, more and more people were clocking in. The receptionist who had left the previous night came back to work. Seeing her, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You waited all night? That bitch still won't see you?! Oh my, you might as well just leave. We're not working for our lives, so why don't you treat yourself like a human being?"

Just as he finished speaking, the elevator stopped at the first floor. Special Assistant Wang came out with a brisk pace and said, "Buy me a cup of coffee."

Ye Yuanyin's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to claim it. "I'll go."

Special Assistant Wang turned his eyes to the front desk and asked knowingly, "What's the new girl?"

The girl at the front desk didn't dare to say a word. Ye Yuanyin smiled and asked again, "What flavor do you want?"

Special Assistant Wang raised one corner of his mouth and said, "I just want iced coffee."

After I bought the things and delivered them to her, she was in a meeting again.

Ye Yuanyin thought, at least she was allowed into the office this time. Patience is key, and there will always be a chance. The human heart is so unpredictable. She encouraged herself, thinking that no matter how difficult it was, she would eventually overcome it bit by bit.

At half past twelve, the meeting finally ended.

Ye Yuanyin watched a group of people file out of the conference room. She waited at the door and finally met Special Assistant Wang.

She ignored her with disdain, so Ye Yuanyin could only introduce herself, "Assistant Wang, I'm Ye Yuanyin from the Shen Group."

Special Assistant Wang turned around, a look of surprise on his face that was just right. He quickly took the coffee from her hand and said, "Oh, how can I ask you to run errands?"

*

Ye Yuanyin had taken a DISC professional personality course as a minor in college. Assistant Wang should be a typical type D personality, a natural leader with a strong temper and dislike of being long-winded.

So she got straight to the point: "I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry that I missed the agreed time due to my negligence. Please give us another chance."

Special Assistant Wang touched the outer wall of the coffee and it was icy cold to the bone.

She had been cold for nearly 17 hours, but not only did the girl not leave, she was willing to be an errand girl, with a very humble attitude.

"The coffee tastes good." She took a sip slowly and looked up at her. "I bought it this morning, and it's already 12:30 pm. The ice should have melted a long time ago, but it tastes like brand new. What's your secret?"

Ye Yuanyin said, "There's no good solution. I just keep buying."

There were already more than ten cups on the table outside. It was hard for her to run errands while waiting for someone.

Assistant Wang pushed the coffee cup away, a smile finally appearing on his face. "You're so sincere, I shouldn't deny you this favor. But a mistake is a mistake. I have many principles, and the first one is that I hate people who don't take their work seriously. I'm sorry, Assistant Ye, I can't forgive you."

Ye Yuanyin felt like the world was about to collapse. Who says hard work will pay off?

She returned empty-handed.

When Ye Yuanyin returned to the company that afternoon, he seemed to have PTSD and first checked whether he had missed any important calls or messages.

After a while, Shen Meiyue came to find her, and the two agreed to meet in a place where there was no camera coverage.

Meiyue was still the same. After hearing her request for help, she sighed, "Oh my God, sister-in-law, you are so brave. You just threw away a multi-million contract! Be prepared, I'm afraid grandpa will peel off your skin!"

After saying that, he felt ruthless again and stretched out his arms to hug her, "How about I give you a loving hug first?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Ye Yuanyin asked directly, "Is there no way to capture Wang's special assistant?"

At this moment, the two of them stood on a united front. Shen Meiyue said, "She is just a proletarian. She has nothing. She doesn't like handsome men. How can you win her over?"

"That's why I came to ask you, the PR manager!" Ye Yuanyin used both soft and hard tactics: "If even you can't figure it out, then I'm really screwed. Are you working hard every day?"

"You're a newbie, and you're the one evaluating me?" Shen Meiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Why bother? Just call your husband and tell him. It's just a matter of a few words. Why are you jumping up and down?"

"No!" Ye Yuanyin refused loudly, "Why should I look for him for my own affairs?"

"Didn't you serve him well in bed?" Even at this moment, Shen Meiyue still didn't forget to insult her. "If I were Special Assistant Wang, I wouldn't forgive you either. He works hard with an autistic son. Unlike you, you married a husband who has no worries about food and clothing, and you work sloppily. Making a mistake is just a pastime after dinner."

Ye Yuanyin intercepted the useful information, suddenly reached out and picked her up, smiling happily and spinning around.

Shen Meiyue was so scared that she screamed.

The child's current counseling agency was the same one Zhou You worked at. You Jing was the legal representative of that agency. If he went there, he might run into him.

Ye Yuanyin remembered the call that was hung up last night and walked out of the company building hesitantly.
