Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Major Challenges in a Social Life Career
In the next few days, Xu Jingwen became even more attentive to her. Not only did he send her greeting messages regularly, but he would also spend twenty or thirty yuan from time to time to order takeout or a cup of milk tea for her and have it delivered to her rental house, as if the two of them were really in a relationship.
Not only that, no matter how busy he is every day, he will always take time to share his daily life with her.
For example, when drinking coffee, he would take a photo and send it to me with the text "It would be nice if you were there too", or if he ate something delicious, he would also take a photo and say, "It tastes good, I'll bring you here next time."
Sharing her life at such a high frequency made Chen Run feel the joy of being cared for all the time. She felt light-hearted these days.
Since the relationship between them has developed to this point, why is she still being so pretentious? She should just agree to it.
When she got to work, she first asked Bai Miao about the probability of passing the internship period. Bai Miao said with certainty: "If nothing unexpected happens, this position will belong to you."
Although she didn't understand why Lu Kuo insisted on letting an ordinary person take care of Chi Shuangliu, Shen Run was diligent and honest, and had a keen eye for work. She was always the first one to arrive and the last one to leave every day, and she even rushed to change the bottled water in the office.
Besides, taking care of Chi Shuangliu is a job that requires a lot of effort. Who knows when this ancestor might go crazy and kill people. If Chen Run doesn't do this job, the consequences may fall on them.
Bai Miao had a good impression of her: "Don't worry, Director Lu is very satisfied with you, and I will report your performance truthfully these days."
The work matter was almost settled, and Shen Run was thinking about giving Senior Xu an answer - she was willing to be with her.
She chose a suitable day and sent him a message asking if he was free recently. After receiving a positive reply, she gritted her teeth and made a reservation at a nearby restaurant with an average price of over 200 yuan per person. She also reluctantly bought a set meal for over 500 yuan in a group purchase and sent him the address. It was Women's Day a few days ago, and Mr. Lu sent her a red envelope of 1,888 yuan.
Xu Jingwen was very good at speaking sweet words: "This restaurant is very expensive, right? Xiaorun is so thoughtful, I'll treat you to this meal." Of course, he said it, but he had no intention of transferring the money at all.
Chen Run had received quite a few small gifts from him these days, so she didn't have the nerve to ask him for money to transfer. She was also a stubborn person who cared too much about her reputation, and would rather eat steamed buns for half a month than cry poor in front of others.
She thought Senior Xu was being considerate, but she immediately replied, "No, I have a job and can afford a meal. Besides, you've helped me a lot, so I don't want to ask you to pay for it again."
If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will establish a romantic relationship tonight. She was thinking of telling him tonight that she also works at the parasol company, and they can work together in the future.
——But the accident happened on this day.
A few days later, Shen Run recalled the incident and found it an incredible coincidence.
There are five canteens in this science and technology park. The one closest to them is also the largest. It has Chinese and Western food and various pastries. Everyone who works in the base eats in this canteen, but at noon today, Bai Miao insisted on eating at a light food restaurant farthest from the base, and even dragged Chen Run to go with him.
Chen Run loves meat, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the team leader. The two of them rode for nearly twenty minutes before they reached the light food restaurant at the westernmost end.
There were not many people in the light food cafeteria, only a few researchers were eating here. Shen Run looked around and found that Xu Jingwen was eating and chatting with a colleague he had a good relationship with. She grinned and went up to greet Xu Jingwen.
As she walked around to the back, she heard his colleague ask, "...How are your blind dates going lately?"
Blind date? Blind date with a senior?
Shen Run was stunned for a moment and stopped.
Bai Miao figured out something and pulled Chen Run to sit behind a pillar not far away.
Xu Jingwen was completely different from the gentle and gentlemanly demeanor he had shown in front of Shen Run before. He spoke casually, as if he was judging a piece of merchandise. "The woman's conditions are not bad. Her parents are colleagues of my father's. She has a doctorate and currently works in a university. She's good in all aspects. An overall score of 8 is enough. It's just that her looks are really not good. Her figure is not good either. She's a bit short and fat. She doesn't match my appearance at all."
It would be great if this woman's family background and education could match Shen Run's face. Only a woman who is perfect in every way can be worthy of him.
My colleague was curious: "Were you forced by your parents to go on a blind date?"
Xu Jingwen said helplessly, "Not really. After all, I'm already 28, and marriage is about to start."
My colleague gave me a flirtatious smile. "Haven't you been having a hot affair with that beautiful junior of yours lately? You even text her during work hours. What's going on? Don't you consider her?"
"Her?" Xu Jingwen snorted, then quickly suppressed his smile and sighed, "She's quite pretty and tall, but she still doesn't have a proper job. I heard that after her previous company fired her, she worked part-time at a barbecue restaurant and then at a convenience store. Finding someone like that is hard for my parents to accept."
"She has a mediocre education, and she studied nursing. When she joins my circle, what will she talk about with my friends and colleagues? Her part-time job experience at a convenience store?" He spread his hands. "There's nothing I can do. The gap is too big, and I don't want that."
My colleague joked, "Why don't you tell them clearly as soon as possible?"
"Why rush? I'm not dating anyone right now, so I'll try talking to her first." To appear less of a jerk, Xu Jingwen said, "Besides, she's not at a disadvantage. I bought her eighteen thousand worth of gifts alone."
My colleague looked ambiguous: "Looking for a good horse while riding a donkey? I understand, but I don't know what it feels like to ride this donkey."
Xu Jingwen coughed dryly at his vulgarity, but didn't correct him. He just smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm still pursuing her. I don't know if she agrees or not."
A colleague hit him lightly: "Do you even need to think about this? We can get it in three days."
Xu Jingwen smiled and didn't respond - he also felt that he could almost win it tonight, and it was less than a week away.
Thinking of the invitation made by Shen Run, he felt a little proud.
The two spoke so bluntly that even Bai Miao could tell what was going on—Chen Run must be the schoolgirl they were talking about.
This child is quite pitiful. She was tricked by Lu Kuo into serving a high-risk monster like Chi Shuangliu. It was very miserable for her. She finally met someone she liked, but he turned out to be a scumbag who was looking for another one while still having a donkey to wear. She is also a foreigner and has no relatives or friends here. I wonder how uncomfortable she must feel.
She glanced at Chen Run, who lowered her head, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. She took out a tissue to wipe her tears and comforted her carefully: "Xiao Run, don't be sad. It's a good thing to recognize the scumbag as early as possible. You..."
As she spoke, she saw Shen Run had already raised his head.
She pursed her lips, but her face was expressionless. She nodded politely at Bai Miao and said, "Team Leader, I have something to do. I'll be back soon."
Bai Miao saw her stand up and walk straight to Xu Jingwen: "Senior Xu, you confessed to me before and asked if you could date me. I thought about it and decided that we are not suitable for each other. Let's forget it."
Her voice was loud, and as soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the cafeteria looked over.
Xu Jingwen had never expected her to appear here. He was stunned and couldn't believe it: "Xiao Run, you..."
Chen Run said in a deep voice, "You're right. My family background is not good, and my education is average. I admit all of this, but I earn my own money and I'm honest. I've never hidden my poor conditions from you. If you despise me, then go on a blind date. Why are you chasing me while you're on a blind date? You're the one who's being secretive. It seems that no matter how good your family background is, your character and quality can't keep up!"
She raised her chin. "Also, you said I was after you because you were wealthy, and that you gave me gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan, but I haven't even seen a single cent. Now, find me the receipts for those gifts, right here and now. If you can find them, I'll compensate you tenfold."
The thing a scumbag fears most in his life is being exposed as a scumbag, let alone a two-faced person like Xu Jingwen who presents himself as a highly educated elite. His leader and direct superiors were in the cafeteria. Xu Jingwen's face turned red and white, and he explained in a panic: "Xiao Run, listen to me, this is not the case..."
He wanted to explain, but couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse. Seeing his image crumbling, he simply deflected the discussion and questioned, "There are many confidential projects in the Science and Technology Park, and outsiders are not allowed to enter! How did you get in? You're already violating the law!"
Breaking the law is much more serious than having a two-timing.
"Your eyes are for venting anger." Chen Run pointed to the brass plate on his chest: "I work here too."
She? How could she possibly get a job at Sun Umbrella with her education? What made her qualified?
The employee levels of the Sun Umbrella Company are divided into two series, P and U. P4 to P10 and above are scientific research and technical personnel. He has only reached P6 now, with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. U is the management series. Generally, new employees start from U1. When Shen Run first joined, her level was directly U3, and her salary was twice as much as his - the end point he had worked so hard to reach was not even at the starting point of others.
She was the new hire that Director Lu had personally recruited, the one who would receive billions of shares in the future!
It was like a bolt of thunder, and Xu Jingwen was stunned.
Chen Run didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment, so she pulled Bai Miao back to the base. After they had a few bites, her phone started vibrating wildly, and Xu Jingwen started bombarding her with messages.
"Xiao Run, I went on blind dates to please my parents. You are my favorite person!"
"What I said just now was all nonsense. You know, men have to save face outside, so I just chatted a little. I didn't expect you to be there."
"Xiaorun, can you forgive me?"
"Which district are you in? I'll come find you right away."
In fact, Xu Jingwen was not so upset when being scolded by Chen Run in public. After all, this kind of romantic affair was just a loss of face and would not really affect his career.
But when he found out that Shen Run was the legendary newcomer, he really got furious - if he could control this stubborn mouth today, the billions of shares would be the common property of the couple in the future, and he would also be able to achieve a leap from the middle class to the capitalist class.
To put it another way, Chen Run is now a highly powerful manager, and she's so young and has a promising future. He's offended her so badly, so if she wants to deal with him later, it's just a matter of opening her mouth. Xu Jingwen almost wanted to hang himself. He was usually a good pretender, and normally wouldn't say such harsh words in public, but today, it was like he was under a spell, and he couldn't help but speak out all the dark and malicious desires in his heart.
What was even more terrible was that Shen Run appeared in the cafeteria at this very moment - causing him to miss out on billions of options. He even wondered if he had been cursed by some evil god!
The more Xu Jingwen thought about it, the more restless he became. He was about to call to apologize, but found that he had been blocked.
......
It was impossible for Shen Run not to feel sad when her first love ended in such a tragic way - in those few short days, she actually believed that she was loved by someone with all her heart.
As soon as she got home from get off work, she immediately called to cancel the restaurant reservation. It was not until the refund of more than 500 yuan arrived that her depressed mood was slightly relieved.
After all, it was her first love, so she had to suffer from insomnia for a few days. The next day, she went to work with dark circles under her eyes. Unexpectedly, when she was in the most emo mood, her career also encountered a major challenge.
"Today you are responsible for cleaning your Chi brother."
Bai Miao concealed the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and spoke as calmly as possible.
"It has to be cleaned inside and out."
It was Chi Shuangliu who gave her the order to take Chen Run to the west restaurant yesterday. Judging from what happened afterwards, it was obviously his intentional arrangement.
Bai Miao hadn't figured out his true intentions yet, when he issued an even more bizarre order today.
First he ruined someone else's child's marriage, and now he wants someone to give this old monster a bath. What on earth does he want for it?
To be honest, before this, she didn't know that Chi Shuangliu had the option of "cleaning the body". She always regarded him as some kind of evil god with a very high IQ and full of malice towards humans. The idea of taking a bath being associated with him seemed weird no matter how she thought about it, not to mention that it was Chen Run who helped him wash.
Chen Run slowly uttered a word
"ah?"
