Chapter 31 The Young Lady's Bento
When Anmi arrived at the cafeteria, Wanqiu was cutting steak with a knife and fork.
"Wow... this food is amazing!"
She stared in shock at the lunchbox placed in front of Wanqiu.
The steaks and prawns inside are surprisingly large.
Even the fruit slices displayed on the side were exquisitely arranged in a nine-piece set.
"Your Yan family is really rich and powerful..."
If the staff canteen is this good, the company must be making a lot of money.
"Please watch your words." Yan Wanqiu patted the chair next to her, gesturing for her to sit down.
“Ms. Anmi, you are now a member of the Yan family. You should always feel a sense of belonging. You should say ‘we’ Yan family.”
She corrected, "And don't get me wrong, this isn't a staff meal, it's a special treat my fifth brother gave me."
“Your fifth brother is here too?” Anmi sat down next to her.
"Yes! My fifth brother is a key member of the company, and he's the top person next to my eldest brother."
"Is he your biological brother or your cousin?"
"Of course he's my older brother! He's just the fifth oldest, so we call him Fifth Brother."
“Five older brothers!” An Mi sighed. “Your Yan family has so many children.”
Wanqiu scoffed, "This is nothing. I haven't even mentioned my three younger brothers, three older sisters, and two younger sisters yet."
"..."
Anmi exclaimed sincerely, "It's so great to have a big family..."
She suddenly thought of something: "Hey! When you were little, didn't your parents give you so much lucky money that your hands were sore from giving it away?"
“No way!” Wanqiu shrugged. “When we were kids, our New Year’s money was always deposited directly into our bank accounts. We had too much cash to fit in the red envelopes.”
“…” Anmi silently forked a piece of steak to shut herself up.
While eating, Wanqiu asked, "Mizi, are the people in your department easy to get along with?"
Anmi had just been chatting enthusiastically with a few girls this morning.
"Great! They're very enthusiastic, beautiful and kind-hearted."
"That's strange..." Wanqiu took a bite of shrimp. "Then why do all the people on my side have such long faces, like I owe them money?"
She had a sudden inspiration: "Do you think it's possible that my uncles and dad owed their employees wages, and they're holding a grudge?"
Anmi glanced at her silently: "You should hope your dad does well, kid."
Wanqiu pouted: "But I really can't think of any other reason. Besides, I've tried my best to keep smiling and talk to them, but they just ignore me and keep their distance."
"What's the point of my job? I might as well go home and live off my parents."
Yan Wanqiu wasn't necessarily obsessed with getting along well with her colleagues; it was just that she saw them all the time and they were always silent, which was so frustrating.
And she didn't know how long her father would keep her here in exile...
In the end, it all comes down to her father. He was living off his parents just fine, so why did he suddenly make her come to work at the company?
He must be getting senile.
Thinking of this, she said with a bitter smile, "Honey, I wish I were in the same department as you. With you by my side, I wouldn't care if anyone else paid any attention to me!"
Anmi actually thought the same thing, but the job position was not something she could decide.
Moreover, going to work is not like playing house; you still need to have the right mindset.
Wanqiu is already in a stressful period at work, so she can't let her say such negative things.
"Qiuqiu, you have to believe in yourself," she encouraged. "With your kind and lovely personality, and your beautiful and generous temperament, they will definitely like you after spending time with you."
"Okay." One sentence made Wanqiu overjoyed.
She raised her little fist: "Just wait, when I inherit my dad's estate, I'll start a company with only the three of us: me, you, and Tang Cai! We'll be the colleagues and the boss, and my fifth brother will manage it for me. The three of us will just lie around doing nothing."
"Okay! I'll wait for you!"
After they finished their meal, they each went back to their respective floors.
On her way upstairs, Anmi ran into the girl at the next workstation.
The young lady's name is Zhao Meng, and she was recruited by Peking University last month.
The Yan family only admits five students to Peking University each year, and Zhao Meng is one of them.
Anmi admired her greatly: "You're really amazing!"
To be able to get into Peking University and then join the Yan family, one must have an incredibly sharp mind.
Zhao Meng replied dejectedly, "So what? After all the hardships, I still ended up as a beast of burden at my workstation."
She said, "I plan to work here for a few years, and once I've saved enough money, I'll go back to my hometown and start my own business."
Anmi didn't have that drive. She felt that finding such a good job was already a stroke of luck, so she didn't dare to even think about starting her own business.
The two chatted for a bit before the elevator doors opened.
An Mi was originally standing facing Zhao Meng, but when she sensed someone entering the elevator, she stepped aside to make way.
The man was quite large and radiated heat; as soon as Anmi got close, she felt a burning sensation on her body.
I caught a whiff of a familiar, cool perfume.
Anmi curled her fingers in her palm.
She carefully took a step closer to Zhao Meng.
Whether the person behind her noticed or not, his arm moved slightly, and the fabric of his suit at his elbow brushed lightly against the middle of her spine.
That area was very sensitive, and the fabric of Anmi's shirt on her back was very thin. She felt that all her attention was suddenly drawn to that thin skin.
Her waist swayed slightly, and she shrank forward a little.
The curves accentuated by the tight-fitting bodycon skirt swayed with it.
The elevator was quiet.
A few seconds later, a very faint choking sound seemed to come from somewhere.
The heat source behind them seemed to have gotten a bit hotter.
bite--
The elevator arrived at the 15th floor.
An Mi and Zhao Meng walked out one after the other.
Whew—without the heat source enveloping her, Anmi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, did you just see that? He's so handsome!" Zhao Meng covered her mouth and giggled.
Seeing her reaction, Anmi knew who she was talking about.
She deliberately said, "It's alright, I think it's just average."
"This is just average?" Zhao Meng was stunned.
"You must eat really well!"
Anmi didn't pay attention to that. She asked, "Do you know who that person is?"
On the Ferris wheel, Yan Jinnian said that he runs a company. Does this mean that his company has business dealings with the Yan family?
"I don't know." Zhao Meng shook her head.
"I've only been here for a month, and I don't know many people yet. But he's so handsome, he doesn't look like a working-class person at all. He's probably a friend of one of the bosses upstairs."
"oh…"
The upstairs boss's friend... Anmi thought of the lady she met in the elevator that morning.
Are they boyfriend and girlfriend...?
In the afternoon, Anmi was assigned some basic tasks.
She was very inexperienced at first, but fortunately, her colleague who was mentoring her was very polite and patient.
If Anmi doesn't understand something, explain it to her repeatedly until she understands.
In the supervisor's office, Tan Tao peered through the blinds.
"Secretary Jack, I've been observing this person for ages, but I haven't noticed anything special about him!"
Jack, sitting behind him, smiled and said, "Perhaps you're just blind."
"ah?"
"In short, I'll leave things to Manager Tan from now on."
Jack stood up from the sofa: "This Miss Ann was hired by Monica, and I believe you know who Monica's direct supervisor is, right?"
Tan Tao understood it perfectly.
"certainly!"
"So the company will make its own judgment on her special circumstances. You just need to help her get familiar with the job as soon as possible and make sure she doesn't encounter any difficulties at work."
After he said that, Tan Tao understood perfectly.
But he was an upright man who had worked diligently for the Yan family for many years and despised those who flattered and used connections.
Tan Tao said sarcastically, "I understand, just treat it like a great Buddha statue."
Jack smiled and said, "It's not that bad..."
Tan Tao: "Hehe!"
"Just be an empress dowager."
