Chapter 11: Besides being handsome, he is also cold and dull
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the air was filled with a slight chill and the breath of the New Year.
Zhou Gang drove alone to the county town to visit Lin Yan and brought her fried crispy pork and braised dishes he made himself.
Zhou Gang felt relieved only after seeing Lin Yan settled down.
He stayed there for half a day and then hurried back to town.
Before leaving, Lin Yan received a New Year's red envelope from Zhou Gang.
Lin Yan half-jokingly said, "Uncle, I'm so old, do I still receive red envelopes?"
"Yueyue has it, so you should have it too. In your uncle's eyes, you will always be children!" Zhou Gang deliberately added: "Yanyan, you can accept this red envelope with peace of mind. This time it's not secret, it's with your aunt's consent."
Lin Yan felt sad and warm and accepted the red envelope.
To her, her uncle is the only relative in the world who truly treats her well.
When seeing Zhou Gang off, the warm winter sun shone on his skinny back, giving his figure a golden halo.
She looked at Zhou Gang's bulging pockets, which contained the two thousand yuan she had just secretly stuffed back into his pockets.
She couldn't accept the hard-earned money Zhou Gang saved by living frugally.
The year passed in such a peaceful manner.
The day to start work has finally arrived.
On the first day of work, Lin Yan got up early and got herself ready.
When she arrived at the company early with light makeup on, she found that no one was there.
After getting used to the fast-paced life in big cities, life in small towns is a bit casual.
Ten minutes later, colleagues arrived on time.
A girl with single eyelids carrying a canvas bag walked in sighing, "How annoying! Why are you at work again?"
Her colleague glanced at the dark circles under her eyes and asked, "Why do you come to work like you're half asleep?"
"Won't I be late if I wake up later?" the girl muttered, curling her lips. "Even wine needs to be decanted for five minutes after it's opened, but people have to get up and go to work right after they wake up. It's so miserable!"
At this point, the girl's eyes accidentally met hers.
Lin Yan smiled as a greeting.
The girl smiled back and sat down next to her in a familiar manner.
"Hello, are you Sister Lin Yan, the new colleague with an impressive resume that Sister Hong mentioned?"
"Not that great. Just an ordinary worker."
"Don't be so modest!" The girl looked at her admiringly and was very talkative.
"Sister Lin Yan, I heard you used to work at Beijing Translation and Interpretation Institute? Translation and Interpretation Institute is one of the largest translation companies in China, and their hiring requirements are extremely strict! Many of the biggest names in translation graduated from translation and interpretation institutes. With your resume, why did you come to a small company like ours? It's such a waste of talent!"
Lin Yan has the most headaches when it comes to people she is not familiar with but who are not very good at socializing.
"Personal reasons."
The girl noticed Lin Yan's indifference and stopped asking. She curled her eyes at her and said, "Sister Lin Yan, my name is Su Xin. Please take care of me in the future."
Lin Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Afterwards, the boss organized a morning meeting.
After the meeting, Lin Yan was called to the office by her boss He Lan.
"Lin Yan, I saw on your resume that you've translated medical books. Here's a medical document, translated from Chinese to English, about 100,000 words. The client needs it urgently, so I'm giving you this order."
“How long does it take to submit the manuscript?”
"Time is very tight, only fifteen days. Our company's translators translate an average of three to four thousand words per day, but your highest daily translation record is seven to eight thousand, which is exceptionally high. Therefore, this order belongs to you."
The translation of 100,000 words must be completed within 15 days with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Even with the help of translation software, it is still a difficult task.
However, as long as the money is in place, everything will be fine.
"Boss, how much is the translation fee?"
"I'll give you 50%." He Lan raised her red lips, quite generously: "After all, our company hasn't taken on such a challenging job in a long time. If you do a good job and the client is satisfied, it will also build a good reputation for our company."
"Okay." Lin Yan agreed and took the opportunity to ask: "Boss, we're having a hard time lately. Can you give me an advance of 3,000 yuan?"
He Lan is a straightforward person and doesn't set too many rules and regulations when dealing with his employees. He agreed without hesitation.
"Yes, as long as you do your job well, these are minor problems."
"Thank you, boss."
"Just call me Sister Hong from now on."
When Lin Yan was leaving the office, He Lan suddenly called her.
She turned around and found He Lan leaning back in his office chair, staring at her face.
Lin Yan was confused: "Sister Hong, is there anything else?"
"Lin Yan, what brand of skincare products do you use? How come your skin is so white? It's like a peeled egg."
This boss is really down to earth.
Although her skin was naturally fair, she did not disappoint and told He Lan the skin care brand.
He Lan nodded with satisfaction: "Send me the link quickly."
In the afternoon, He Lan informed everyone that there would be a team-building dinner in the evening to celebrate her joining the company.
He also thoughtfully ordered milk tea for each employee.
After all, it was Lin Yan’s first day there, so she took the initiative to distribute milk tea to everyone.
After she had distributed the milk tea, she realized there was still one cup left. Su Xin came over and said, "Sister Lin Yan, Sister Hong asked you to take the remaining cup of milk tea to the next door."
"next door?"
"Yes, it's the Gale Fighting Gym next door."
Fighting the Wind...
Xing Yu's face suddenly popped into his mind.
I haven't seen Xing Yu since the New Year's Eve dinner that night.
She finally had a few days of peace and quiet, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
"Why send it next door?" she asked.
"Sister Lin Yan, let me tell you a little gossip." Su Xin frowned and whispered in her ear, "Sister Hong seems to have a crush on the owner of the boxing gym next door. She's been asking us to send all kinds of food over lately!"
Lin Yan couldn't believe it: "Coach Xing...?"
"Yeah, yeah! That super manly-looking Coach Xing who's obviously good at that!"
“…” Lin Yan frowned.
Although He Lan is a bit older, she has a plump figure and is well maintained. How could she fall for a frivolous man like Xing Yu?
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! My colleagues are all spreading the word, so it's definitely true." Su Xin became increasingly excited as she spoke. "Sister Hong is three years older than Coach Xing. A woman three years older than her is bound to bring home a fortune! She and Coach Xing are a match made in heaven, a perfect match!"
Then you can’t go to send it.
Lin Yan stuffed the milk tea to Su Xin: "How about you help me deliver it? I have to be busy with work right now."
Su Xin stepped back and waved her hand.
"No, no, no! Coach Xing looks too fierce. I went to see him off once before the New Year, and the look in his eyes almost scared me to death. I even wrote a limerick for him, it's so fitting."
"What poem?"
"In the desolate land of Bashan and Chushui, he killed me with one punch."
“…” Lin Yan: “Is it that exaggerated?”
"Yes!" Su Xin opened up and began to talk in an animated manner.
"Coach Xing has an icy face, a large build, and is usually quiet. Although he's handsome and in great shape, he's cold and stuffy, like the King of Hell."
Quiet? Bored?
The dirty talk Xing Yu spouts is truly witty!
I'm afraid he's just a reserved person.
In the end, no one was willing to take on this hot potato.
Lin Yan had no choice but to take action herself.
When she appeared in the boxing gym, Mo Kai's shout made her frown.
"Hey! Sister-in-law is here? Long time no see, Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"
Lin Yan automatically blocked out his words, placed the milk tea on the front desk, and said concisely: "Sister Hong gave this to your brother Yu."
After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and left.
But I bumped into a strong chest, and the familiar scent of laundry detergent hit me in the face.
She raised her eyes, and Xing Yu's angular face came into view.
"My good friend, do you miss me again?"
