Xia Yu walked out of the office and took the elevator downstairs.
She searched the entire floor and finally found "Chaocuiwu". Looking at the long line of people buying coffee, Xia Yu muttered to herself: "This coffee shop is doing very good business. No wonder Brother Zun specifically asked me to buy coffee here."
She followed the crowd and joined the back of the line, which now stretched outside the store.
It was June, the hottest time of the year. Xia Yu stood outside in the scorching sun without an umbrella. Before long, she was sweating profusely under the scorching sun. She felt tanned and exhausted, unable to muster any strength.
Perhaps affected by the scorching heat, the people around us also became increasingly irritable. Voices of urging kept coming from the crowd: "Can you please hurry up? It's so hot!"
"How long will it take for my turn?!"
"Damn, why does it take so long to make coffee? I see the line hasn't moved at all. I've been waiting here for ages!!"
Hearing the line hadn't moved for a while, Xia Yu hesitated. She'd been waiting in line for a while, and it seemed like the line hadn't moved. Should she continue queuing in the scorching sun? Or should she find a cooler spot to rest and wait until the crowds thinned out before queuing again?
Although it was uncomfortable to be under the scorching sun, Brother Zun was still waiting for her coffee.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu regained some strength in her body, and she gritted her teeth and continued to persevere.
......
After waiting for about half an hour, Assistant Zhou finished the work at hand and stood up to stretch his muscles.
Secretary Zhang asked him, "Didn't that girl say she was going downstairs to buy coffee? Why hasn't she come back in so long? I'm still waiting for some."
In order to wait for the free coffee downstairs, he hasn't gone to the tea room to refill his coffee until now. After all, there are only a few kinds of coffee in the tea room, and you will get tired of it if you drink too much.
Secretary Li also looked up from his work: "Yeah, it really took too long to buy a cup of coffee."
Assistant Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Oh no!" Judging from how he'd been interacting with this girl these past few days, could something have happened? Could she have gotten lost again like last time?
He quickly took out his cell phone and called Xia Yu. Not long after he called, the call was connected.
An anxious stranger's voice came from inside.
"Hello, do you know this girl?"
Assistant Zhou asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The person on the other end of the line paused, seemingly not expecting the other party to ask this question: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that this little girl suddenly fainted."
Assistant Zhou suddenly raised his voice: "What?"
Secretary Zhang and Secretary Li also vaguely heard the news on the phone, and they were silently paying attention to Assistant Zhou.
Assistant Zhou was about to leave while holding his phone: "Where did she faint? Please tell me, I'll be there right away."
"She's in the 'Nest House' downstairs from our company. Do you know where that is?"
"I know, I know. Okay, please look after her for a while. I'll be there soon."
Seeing Assistant Zhou's troubled look, Secretary Li asked as soon as he hung up the phone, "What happened?"
Secretary Zhang: "Do you need our help?"
Assistant Zhou walked quickly to the door and said, "Xia Yu fainted downstairs. I have to take her to the hospital immediately. You guys stay in the company. I can do it alone."
After a while, he arrived downstairs of the company and walked to the "Chaocuiwu". He saw that it was surrounded by three layers of people inside and three layers outside. From time to time, words like "girl" and "fainted" were heard from the crowd.
When he got closer, he saw that the center of the crowd was the fainted Xia Yu. The enthusiastic people had helped her sit down inside the store.
Assistant Zhou pushed his way through the crowd and walked into the store, saying loudly, "Excuse me, please make way. I know the injured person."
At this moment, someone recognized Assistant Zhou and whispered to his companion, "Hey, look, isn't this our company's president's secretary?"
Although Assistant Zhou is not as well-known as Secretary Li in the company, after all, his main job responsibility is not to directly connect with the company, but to directly connect with Qin Zun himself. However, he is someone who often goes in and out with the president, and this place is downstairs of their company, so naturally a few people recognized him.
"He's the president's secretary. Who's that fainted girl? They looked very close."
Assistant Zhou was unaware of the onlookers' speculation about him, and had no time to care. When he walked to Xia Yu, he picked her up, carried her to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and sent her to the hospital.
After being sent to the hospital, the doctor gave Xia Yu a simple cooling treatment, and Xia Yu woke up soon after.
Xia Yu sat up from the bed in a daze: "What happened to me? Why am I here?"
"You got a heat stroke on your way to get coffee."
Assistant Zhou didn't know what expression he should have right now.
He couldn't say anything about this girl. Wherever she went, something bad happened, or she caused trouble for him, and he had to clean up after her.
How unlucky was he to be assigned to work under him?
But Xia Yu didn't know what Assistant Zhou was thinking. She just felt that he looked a little tired and needed a cup of coffee to refresh himself.
Oh, right, coffee!
Xia Yu struggled to get out of bed. Assistant Zhou stood by the bed, pressing her shoulders with a bitter face: "What are you going to do again, my aunt?"
Couldn't she just be more content? He was truly exhausted. Facing this person would shorten his life by ten years.
"I haven't bought my coffee yet?"
Assistant Zhou was so angry that he almost cursed, but he was now facing an eighteen-year-old girl, a patient who had just suffered from heatstroke, and most importantly, he was facing a person who was extremely fond of crying.
He endured it again and again, and finally whispered: "It's already this late and you're still thinking about your coffee. Do you have any idea of what's important?"
Xia Yu pouted and said unconvincedly: "But this is the first task assigned to me by Brother Zun, I must complete it well."
The two of them stared at each other in the ward for a long time. Assistant Zhou couldn't persuade her anymore and compromised: "Okay, okay, you sit here and rest well. I'll go buy it for you."
"Bring it to me after you buy it. I want to give it to Brother Zun personally."
Assistant Zhou clenched his fists and used all his strength to resist slapping the other person's innocent face.
He said with a fake smile: "You are in the hospital now. Wait for me to bring the coffee to you. If you send it back later, the coffee will be undrinkable."
Xia Yu's eyes widened: "Then you deliver the coffee, and the credit will be yours."
"I swear when I bring you coffee I'll tell you it's all your fault, for sure!"
After finally convincing Xia Yu, Assistant Zhou was able to leave. Who knew he would face an even greater crisis later...
