Chapter 446 Parallel Time and Space (I)
"Secretary, this is Comrade Xiaolin, the new one in our office."
Early in the morning, a middle-aged male leader with the same Sha Monk hairstyle raised his hand and knocked on the door of an office on the third floor.
Following behind was Lin Xiaotong, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black pants and a bun.
Facing the gaze of the leader inside, a standard fake smile instantly appeared on her face.
His eyes revealed the clear yet slightly foolish look of a college student.
"Xiao Lin, you're so young, only 20 years old, you started studying early.
You've just graduated from college, right? Which school did you graduate from? I studied law.
Where do you live? It’s nearby, that’s great.”
The chat mixed with dialects finally ended, and Lin Xiaotong was taken to an office on the left side of the second floor.
The first thing you see are three liver-colored desks, and only one workstation near the door is occupied.
Hearing the sound, the man raised his head from the pile of materials.
She was a lesbian with short hair. Perhaps because she saw a new face, she raised her hand to wipe her glasses.
He jokingly said, "Minister, are we finally getting someone sent to our office?"
"Xiao Gan, this is the new Xiao Lin. The secretary said he will be placed in your office first.
Take her to familiarize herself with our unit for the next few days."
"Okay, Minister, you can go ahead and do your work first."
After the people left, she noticed that her new colleague was visibly relieved.
"Xiao Lin, right? You can sit near the green plants.
Across from me is Director Liu from our office. She went home for maternity leave last month.
My name is Gan Yu, I've been working in the company for 17 years. I'm not much older than you, so you can just call me sister from now on."
"Okay, sister, I'm Lin Xiaotong, and my hometown is here."
He took out a wet wipe from his messenger bag and wiped the table while chatting with Ganyu.
"By the way, you are a post-2000s person, right? You are the youngest in our unit.
Last year, a young boy was admitted, but he will be transferred soon."
Ganyu is very happy that there is finally a new person in the office.
God knows how painful it is for her to organize all the materials and weekly reports by herself without any help.
Their office was small to begin with, so only two people were assigned to it.
Now Sister Liu has gone home on maternity leave and she is alone in the office.
There was not even anyone to talk to, which really suffocated her.
Lin Xiaotong looked around and observed her office environment.
There is a printer, a desktop computer and a mouse pad on the liver-colored table.
Plus an old-fashioned keyboard with the labels on the keys almost worn off.
Next to the seat is a money tree. Its leaves are wilted and listless, and it doesn't look very healthy.
But it's understandable. Anyone would be unhappy standing guard in a tiny place every day.
After wiping the table, throw the wet wipes into the colorful trash can.
"Sister, what should I do today?"
Sit on the hard wooden chair and turn on the computer first.
"The computer on your desk is old and slow, and it can't print anything very well.
I'll have the office downstairs provide you with a laptop later, so you can look through the previous case files today."
Sister Gan stuck her head out to take a look, poured herself a glass of water, and continued chatting.
He also took out a small bag of snacks from the cupboard and gave her a few packs.
"Eat, eat, let me first tell you about the leader of our unit.
Oh, by the way, have you joined the company’s employee group?
Not yet, then I'll add you and invite you to the group later."
In a few short moments, Lin Xiaotong had several more groups on WeChat, including a large employee group and a bunch of business department groups.
She had just come in and hadn't even changed her notes yet. When the group saw a new member, they immediately started a series of welcome greetings.
All kinds of smiling emoticons have come out.
She had no choice but to switch to the memo, copy and paste, and sent out a set of polite and courteous greetings.
This was a job experience post she had found on a certain website last night.
"Xiao Lin, your WeChat avatar is quite unique."
Sister Gan smiled and the melon seeds almost hit her teeth.
Lin Xiaotong touched her head, smiled awkwardly, and quickly went to a certain website to find a slightly more normal WeChat profile picture.
Her current profile picture is a drooling Patrick with a dull look in his eyes.
I have been using this avatar since I was in college and have not changed it for four years.
Anyone who added her as a friend on WeChat always said that they could associate her real life with her profile picture, and before meeting her, they thought she was a silly and unreliable person.
"What do you think of this avatar? It feels like I've lost communication as soon as I open the dialog box."
The more Lin Xiaotong listened, the more confused she became. She began to regret it. If she had known earlier, she would have applied for another card and used the new WeChat account as her work account.
He quickly changed his profile picture to a more serious one and set the employee group to do not disturb mode.
After waiting for a long time for the desktop computer to start up, I logged into WeChat and started chatting in a group with my friends who had passed the exam with me.
They are piled on the table on the outside, blocking the view outside, so that I feel a little safe.
When you are at work, you should keep your ears open and your eyes alert.
Hands were typing away on the keyboard as people in the small group exchanged their thoughts on their first day at work.
He was multitasking, keeping his ears perked up and answering Ganyu's questions from time to time.
The morning's slacking off time passed quickly, and when it was time for dinner, she obediently followed Ganyu to the cafeteria.
The layout of the cafeteria is very similar to that of the campus, with mostly small seats with four seats connected together.
The white tiles on the floor were mopped to a shine, and as soon as you entered you could smell the rich aroma of food.
I just heard from Gan Yu that the company cafeteria provides three meals a day for free, but there are not many dishes to choose from.
Because it was her first day, she didn't bring her own lunch box and could only take the iron lunch box from the sterilizer.
The cafeteria aunt behind the glass was wearing a white apron and holding a large iron spoon.
Seeing a new face and looking at her thin arms, the aunt who was making the braised pork gave her an extra spoonful.
There are three dishes at noon, one meat and two vegetables, all of which are seasonal dishes.
Considering that some employees cannot eat spicy food, the canteen manager uses bell peppers.
The braised pork is fat and lean. After getting familiar with the aunt who serves you rice, you can even get a spoonful of soup and pour it over the rice, which is very delicious.
Lin Xiaotong ate without even raising her head. Although she was thin and looked like she had only two pounds of meat on her.
In fact, it has a small skeleton, and if you really touch it, the flesh on your hand is soft.
Sister Gan asked with amusement, "Is it delicious?"
She nodded frantically. The chef was extremely restrained and added soy sauce and salt as if they were free.
There were many colleagues eating in the cafeteria at noon. Most of them used their own bowls, which were of various types.
She bit a bowl of fried lentils in her mouth and glanced sharply at the minister who had brought her here that morning, who was holding a large pink ceramic bowl.
After eating the braised pork with rice, she went to the window to get a bowl of soup.
Ganyu hadn't finished eating yet, so she came over to take a look.
"It's the loofah and egg on guard again today."
