"Lao Du, this beautiful lady looks unfamiliar. Is she your intern?" There were other colleagues from the company in the elevator who couldn't help but ask.
Du Xiran nodded.
"She's so pretty." A colleague said with emotion, "If you think she's hard to take care of, you can leave her to me."
Du Xiran rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just focus on your business."
Several colleagues who were watching the fun were laughing secretly. A man said, "Just behave yourself. How dare you compete with Lao Du for someone."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived. Ye Nanning was the first to go out. She waited for a while and then followed Du Xiran's steps to walk outside.
She found that Du Xiran's steps were very fast, not inferior to those of men. She secretly adjusted her steps and took steps left and right with her, and her heart was filled with joy.
The two stood at the door of the restaurant, and Xu Huan raised his hand and shouted, "Boss Du, here!"
"Let's go." Du Xiran said, and walked straight to her seat. There were two empty seats, so she pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Sit."
Ye Nanning sat beside her stiffly, not daring to move.
When my colleagues saw it, they just burst out laughing.
Xu Huan forced himself to smile: "I really don't know whether Xiao Ye is aloof or afraid of President Du."
Du Xiran turned her head to look at her, raised her eyebrows: "Really? Are you afraid of me?"
Ye Nanning said nothing, but shook her head like a rattle.
Xu Huan and the others laughed even more happily. Du Xiran also curled the corners of his mouth, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of white arms, and put the menu in front of her: "See if there is anything else you want to order."
Ye Nanning opened the menu and slowly moved it upwards to cover her entire face.
Xu Huan covered his mouth, trying to hold back his laughter, until Du Xiran glared at him, and then he slowly calmed down.
A female colleague said: "It's not Xiaoye's fault. I was also scared when I first met Mr. Du."
"But don't you think Xiao Ye looks even cooler than President Du?"
Everyone was silent, and it seemed that they had reached a consensus.
Du Xiran took a sip of water and asked the female colleague: "Do you think I'm still scary now?"
"I only think you're scary when I make mistakes at work and get scolded," the female colleague said, "but normally, I think you're super nice."
Du Xiran: "So the first impression is not the standard for judging a person."
Others also responded.
Ye Nanning nodded frantically in her heart!
She is worthy of being a goddess. She speaks so nicely and is perfect to the point of being invincible!
The dishes had not yet been served, and after everyone chatted casually for a few minutes, some people started playing with their phones.
Seeing that Ye Nanning seemed to have nothing to do and probably didn't dare to play with her phone in front of her boss, Du Xiran asked, "What websites do you usually use?"
Ye Nanning was stunned: "Weibo, Douyin, Little Green Book."
She has accounts on these platforms, which she needs to operate and maintain on a regular basis.
Du Xiran: “…”
Du Xiran said again: "I'm asking about finance-related websites."
Ye Nanning blushed and replied, "I occasionally browse Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, nothing else."
"It's enough if you pay attention to this aspect. You can check out websites like CNBC, investopedia, and Dealbook. Don't always stare at social software." Du Xiran said seriously, like a strict and solemn leader. After hearing this, several other colleagues put down their phones guiltily.
"Okay." Ye Nanning nodded.
The dishes were slowly served, and Xu Huan passed the golden and silver egg amaranth dumplings that Du Xiran had specially ordered to her: "Boss Du, try it."
Ye Nanning also likes to eat this dish. One time when she went to a Michelin restaurant, she ate this dish. She went back and thought about it for a long time. Finally, she copied it. She also took a video and posted it on her account, which gained her a lot of followers.
Du Xiran took a bite, his expression changed several times, and he sighed: "It's not as delicious as I imagined."
"You've eaten at so many restaurants, but you haven't found one you like? Which one did you eat at that made you remember it so much?" Xu Huan asked.
Du Xiran: “I haven’t eaten it, I just watched others make it.”
"......." Xu Huan was speechless again, "You haven't even eaten it. How can anyone make a dish that suits your taste just by imagining it?"
Ye Nanning quickly prepared a speech in her mind, ready to say that she could prepare one for Mr. Du, but the next second, Du Xiran said, "That makes sense. I won't order it next time. It's a waste."
Ye Nanning: “…”Okay.
Everyone was eating and no one wanted to talk about business at the table, but then a new colleague happened to come and they introduced themselves to each other and naturally started gossiping.
"Xiao Ye, are you in love?"
Ye Nanning shook her head.
"Then there must be a lot of people chasing you, why haven't you found one yet?"
Ye Nanning didn't know how to answer.
"Do you have someone you like?"
Ye Nanning nodded slowly.
The atmosphere became chaotic, and even Du Xiran looked at her again.
"Is the person you like a classmate?"
"What kind of person is he?"
"How long have you liked him? Why do you like him?"
"What does that person do? Is he good-looking? Is he rich? Is he handsome?"
Everyone kept asking questions, and Ye Nanning began to regret telling the truth.
"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Du Xiran came to the rescue, "We have a meeting later this afternoon, did you forget?"
The others had to eat faster.
Ye Nanning looked at Du Xiran with gratitude, but saw that she was busy eating and felt embarrassed to disturb her.
After eating for a while, everyone started talking about new topics, from daily consumption to housing prices, which in turn involved family issues.
"My mother said that the house will belong to my younger brother from now on and told me not to even think about it. Who wants that old and shabby house in the 18th tier? After I was admitted to university, all I wanted was to earn enough money to buy my own house," said a female colleague.
"Although I am the eldest son, my parents said they would give me the house in the future, but the prerequisite is that I help them raise two little ones, one in junior high school and the other in elementary school." The male colleague said, "Even if I want to refuse the house, my parents retired last year, and I can't really ignore my younger siblings. Alas, life is tiring."
Xu Huan also said: "Who said it wasn't true? I lived at home, thinking I could save some money on rent and utilities, but I was urged to get married all the time. I moved out last month and found that renting a house by myself is also quite troublesome."
After everyone finished complaining, they all looked at Du Xiran. Du Xiran was stunned: "Why, it's my turn now?"
Xu Huan nodded, and Ye Nanning looked at her expectantly.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, our family is very happy," said Du Xiran.
Everyone was speechless and turned to look at Ye Nanning.
Ye Nanning read some kind of sympathy from their eager eyes, and said carefully: "We have three siblings in our family."
Sure enough, everyone showed an expression of "my condolences".
“Hey, it’s not easy.”
"I really don't understand why these parents are like this. The poorer they are, the more they want to have children."
"Of course you are. Three siblings, please don't be the second oldest. I heard that he is the least valued. Xiaoye, which one are you?"
Ye Nanning: “Two.”
"It's miserable, Xiaoye."
Everyone looked at him with sympathy, as if they had seen the neglected second child working hard and studying hard, and finally getting into University B, which is among the top three in his major, and working hard to get rid of the misfortune brought by his original family.
Ye Nanning: "......"
The colleague next to her was serving soup and accidentally splashed some on her, and she apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's only 30 yuan worth of clothes, I can just throw them away later." After Ye Nanning said this, her colleagues looked at her with more sympathy. She felt that if she held a donation box now, it would be full.
Even Du Xiran couldn't help but look at her a few more times and said, "Work hard, and you'll get a lot of money."
Ye Nanning nodded.
Does this mean that her disguise as a poor intern was successful? No one should doubt her identity, right?
In any case, if an intern dresses too luxuriously, it will always give people a bad impression. What if people in school say she is a rich and pretentious girl, or other unreasonable rumors spread? It will not be conducive to the progress of her work. She is no better than a poor student who is working hard.
After dinner, everyone went back to the company together. A group of people squeezed into the elevator. Ye Nanning grabbed a seat in the corner and silently looked up at the rising numbers, not realizing that she had become a beautiful scenery.
In the narrow and crowded space, some people were playing with their mobile phones, some were worried about work, but she was the only one standing quietly in the crowd like an innocent swan. Her exquisite face made people want to take a few more glances, and her superior swan neck made her look elegant and noble.
If she hadn't been wearing cheap clothes worth thirty or fifty yuan, her colleagues would have thought she was a princess who had escaped from somewhere.
Du Xiran felt her arm poked. She turned her head to look at Xu Huan who was beside her. Xu Huan winked at her and whispered, "Your status as a pre-sale property may be in jeopardy."
"Boring." Du Xiran said, and the elevator arrived. She went straight back to the office to prepare materials for the meeting. She caught a glimpse of a mirror and subconsciously opened it to take a look.
Well... I've been working overtime a lot recently and I don't look very good.
What's more, young college students have faces full of collagen, which is incomparable.
Otherwise, we lose every time.
We started work at 2pm, and by 1pm, everyone was ready for lunch. Some people lay on the table, some leaned on the chair, and most people took out folding chairs and lay down directly.
This was what happened in Ye Nanning's group. In the blink of an eye, a row of colleagues all lay down.
You have to apply to the HR department for a folding chair, and several interns don’t have one yet, so they can only lie down or lean against it.
Ye Nanning tried it while lying down, and her arms felt a little numb. She leaned back in the chair, feeling completely uncomfortable.
She decided not to sleep anymore. She took out a book from her bag and just read a few lines when someone patted her shoulder.
She looked back and saw it was Du Xiran!
Du Xiran made a gesture for silence and then waved his hand.
Ye Nanning stood up, carefully crossed Xu Huan's bed, and followed her to the office.
"I'm going out for a while. You can rest here for a while. Remember to apply for a folding bed later." Du Xiran instructed.
Ye Nanning was flattered and sat down on her leather sofa: "Is it really possible?"
"It's empty anyway." Du Xiran packed up the documents in the bag, "Don't touch the other things."
"knew."
Du Xiran was about to go out when he suddenly turned around and muttered, "Where's my phone?"
"Here." Ye Nanning pointed to the mobile phone on the table. The video seemed to be still playing, but the sound was muted.
Du Xiran quickly picked up his phone and exited the video.
Although she only took a quick glance, Ye Nanning still noticed some ingredients in the picture. Could it be that she was not full just now, so she was watching a food video?
Du Xiran suddenly looked at her: "What did you see?"
"I saw you browsing Weibo." Ye Nanning paused, "So you also use this kind of social software."
Du Xiran: “…”
The author has something to say:
Du Xiran: Whose face hurts so much? Oh, it's mine, that's okay.
