The world treats me like a blade of grass, only you see me as verdant mountains!
Her lonely helplessness, only he felt pity for her; his confusion and hesitation, only she understood him. Eve...

Ye Wenyu was completely dumbfounded. "I haven't thought it through yet. I'll tell you when I've thought it through." "Your job is to see who needs help and then go help them." What kind of job is that?
She slowly sat down in her cubicle, completely bewildered. Then she slowly stood up and looked around very carefully. She found that everyone was engrossed in their work in their cubicles and didn't need anyone's help. So, where could she sit?
She felt superfluous in this place. Ye Wenyu sat down stiffly again. The computer had no password, so she turned it on and started browsing news online.
Feeling utterly bored, I felt like a superfluous roadblock in the secretariat. Not only was I useless, but I was also an eyesore, taking up other people's space, blocking their way, and causing them a lot of trouble.
Within minutes of watching the news, she became anxious and restless, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles. She thought to herself, she came here as an intern to learn, not to slack off online or take advantage of her work hours. She glanced at Linda's cubicle, but Linda was no longer at her desk, so her plan to ask Linda about the job was now impossible.
Just then, a sweet female voice rang out: "Oh dear, it's almost lunchtime, ladies, are we ordering takeout or eating at the staff cafeteria today?"
Several voices rang out: "Let's order takeout, takeout is delicious." "Order takeout from the same place we ordered last time." "Yes, yes, the takeout from that place last time was pretty good."
"So, who's ordering takeout today?" a sweet female voice asked.
"It's Xiao Liu, but he resigned and left. I wonder who's next?"
"Then let's start a new round. Let's eliminate Xiao Liu and rearrange the order. Today it's Xiao Li's turn."
Xiao Li cried out indignantly, "This isn't fair! I just ordered takeout two days ago, how come it's my turn again after only two days?" Ye Wenyu turned her head and saw that Xiao Li was a young girl dressed very fashionably, but at this moment, she was frowning and had a stern face.
It's really unfair that more than 20 people take turns ordering takeout, and it only happens twice in three days.
Another secretary, without even looking up, said, "That Xiao Liu is really something. She ate our food for over ten days for free, and when it was her turn to order food, she quit and ran away. She has such a terrible character!"
Xiao Li immediately laughed and complained, "Yeah, yeah, that's too much!"
Ye Wenyu looked around and found that only her seat was previously empty; all the other cubicles were full. In other words, if she guessed correctly, the seat she was sitting in was the one where Xiao Liu, who had resigned, had been sitting.
Therefore, to achieve fairness to the greatest extent possible, we can only—
So she mustered up her courage, stood up, and said, "Hello everyone, I'm new here. How about I order the takeout?"
Everyone looked up, glanced at the simply dressed newbie, then looked at each other without saying a word, indicating their agreement. Xiao Li was even happier and smiled at Ye Wenyu, saying, "You're new here, sitting in Xiao Liu's seat, that's great. Then you can order. We'll order 'One Trick Pony' takeout, you order twenty-three portions. We'll take turns treating, so you understand."
"Okay, I'll take care of the order. Hello everyone, my surname is Ye, the Ye of leaf. You can call me Xiao Ye from now on."
"Hello, Xiao Ye." The other female secretaries glanced at her and nodded in greeting.
There were also one or two male secretaries who were very happy to see that the new colleague in the secretarial team was a young girl who was very pure and lovely, and they welcomed her with great enthusiasm.
Ye Wenyu was very respectful and polite. She knew that Lin Tingfeng definitely didn't want her to come to intern but not be able to do anything or learn anything, so she took the initiative to take on the work herself. Although she had agreed to order takeout for everyone, she didn't know which restaurant they liked to eat at. Therefore, the clever girl ran to Xiao Li, picked up her phone, and asked her which platform and restaurant she ordered the takeout from. Xiao Li was happy that she didn't have to order takeout herself, so she very enthusiastically taught Ye Wenyu how.
Ye Wenyu remembered that Lin Tingfeng had said he wanted to have lunch with her, so she thoughtfully ordered a meal for him as well. There were a total of twenty-four fast food meals, which cost her nearly five hundred yuan. She felt a pang of heartache, but she also knew that as a newcomer in a new environment, she had to be generous and polite. One can be frugal with oneself, but one should never be stingy with others. Therefore, she no longer felt bad about the money.
The sun was shining brightly outside. Ye Wenyu placed an order on her phone with a few quick taps. Her mood, which had been as heavy as the earth, brightened up because she finally realized that she could also do something for the secretarial team.
When lunchtime arrived, the takeout arrived, and Ye Wenyu helped the delivery guy bring in twenty-four meals. Everyone received their meals and began to enjoy them in their cubicles. There were three meals left: one for Linda, one for Ye Wenyu, and one for Lin Tingfeng.
Ye Wenyu's phone rang at that moment. She picked it up and saw that it was Lin Tingfeng calling. She walked to a secluded corner and answered the phone: "Hello—" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.
Lin Tingfeng laughed and said slowly to her on the phone, "Didn't we agree to have lunch together? Come to my office." His tone was still commanding, but gentle, probably because he was used to giving orders. However, this gentleness was definitely reserved for her.
Ye Wenyu felt a warm and sweet feeling in her heart. She smiled, pursed her lips, and after thinking for a moment, suggested to him, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Maybe I should eat in the cubicle instead."
Lin Tingfeng seemed displeased and said to her unhappily, "You really overthink things. Come here now." Then he hung up the phone.
Left with no other choice, Ye Wenyu placed one boxed lunch on Linda's desk and then took two boxed lunches to Lin Tingfeng's office.
Xiao Li saw her and smiled, "Xiao Ye, where are we going to eat?" This newbie has already made friends?
"From a friend." Ye Wenyu could only answer awkwardly. Xiao Li nodded, his inner gossip burning brightly.
Ye Wenyu then took the two takeout boxes and left. She thought to herself, if Xiao Li knew that she was going to eat in Lin Tingfeng's office, would he be so shocked that he would trip and fall?
The corridor was quiet; everyone was probably eating and resting. Ye Wenyu was really worried that someone would see her carrying two lunch boxes into Lin Tingfeng's president's office. Like a mouse leaving its hole, her heart was pounding like a drum as she hurried along the wall.
Sigh, being a CEO's girlfriend isn't easy!
Why was she under so much pressure and burdened by the image of being a girlfriend, while Lin Tingfeng seemed relaxed and carefree?
That's so strange!
