The two newcomers not only became a hot topic among the interns, but the VPs also noticed their movements, especially Mr. Li. The frequent replacement of new people in the team hindered his work.
When a few old friends got together, he couldn't help but complain a few times about how they always tried to put more people in his group.
A colleague comforted him: "This shows that the higher-ups think highly of you. Maybe you will be the one to get the promotion next time."
Old Li sighed, "It's not that easy. Besides, the newcomer Ming Shuang has a very impressive resume. She might get promoted faster than me."
"She is prettier in person than her resume," another person laughed.
Du Xiran had never seen the legendary Ming Shuang before, so he asked, "Is she prettier than Ye Nanning?"
"They are both beautiful in different ways. Ye Nanning is aloof and restrained, while Mingshuang is flamboyant and bright." A female colleague commented, turning her gaze to her and adding, "You are also a mature and elegant lady. My God, there are more and more beauties in our company. It's so exciting."
Du Xiran was a little curious, but he did not forget to cheer Lao Li up: "The higher-ups arranged this for you, which means they trust your ability to lead new people. We may not be as good as you in leading new people."
Lao Li: "Come on, how about I switch with you? Switch Ye Nanning and Yan Zhenghao to the same group?"
Du Xiran crossed his arms: "I refuse."
A few of them went upstairs chatting and laughing. From a distance, they saw the group of interns sitting together and chatting. Even Ye Nanning was sitting in the corner. This was rare and surprised Du Xiran a little.
According to her daily observations, Ye Nanning had an average relationship with this group of interns, and was only closer to Hu Jiaxu. However, when she saw Hu Jiaxu speaking excitedly, she guessed that Ye Nanning was probably pulled over by Hu Jiaxu.
Ye Nanning also noticed the movements of Du Xiran and her group. When her eyes met Du Xiran's, her wandering eyes suddenly lit up with a gleam of light. After watching her enter the office, she returned to her idle look.
She was indeed pulled over by Hu Jiaxu for a small meeting. To be precise, it was Hu Jiaxu who was telling his friends about Mingshuang.
The incident started with a trivial matter. Hu Jiaxu was printing manuscripts at the time, and because there were too many copies, the printer got stuck.
Mingshuang happened to come over to print, so she asked her to finish it quickly.
Hu Jiaxu was debugging the button and replied casually: "Why are you rushing me? Aren't we already doing it?"
Mingshuang thought she was wasting her time and threatened to find a professional. She even called and paid for an outside maintenance worker.
Hu Jiaxu was furious now: "Tell me, does she look down on me? Or is she just too rich to afford it, so she had to spend money to hire someone? Isn't there a maintenance worker in the company? The maintenance worker is just busy with other things. Can't she wait a while?"
Others rushed to calm her down and help her speak.
Ye Nanning didn't know what to say. Since everyone was comforting her, she started playing with her phone.
"Because time is money." At this time, a voice came from behind. Everyone turned their heads and saw the person involved, and subconsciously shut their mouths.
"What I need to print is urgent, so I don't think there is anything wrong with spending a little money to save myself from greater losses," Mingshuang said bluntly.
Hu Jiaxu was not embarrassed to be discovered, and argued with her: "But didn't I finish it quickly? By the time the people you found get here, it will be dark."
"That's just my backup plan. If you can fix it early, everything will be fine, but you can't ridicule my plan B." Mingshuang said.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and the others felt a little embarrassed, so they simply made excuses to go back to their workstations. Only Ye Nanning was left, unable to find an excuse.
Hu Jiaxu suddenly looked at Ye Nanning: "Xiao Ye, who do you think is wrong among us?"
Mingshuang also looked at Ye Nanning.
Ye Nanning raised her head and said awkwardly, "Some things can't be said to be right or wrong."
Hu Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You didn't even speak up for me."
Ye Nanning: "But my heart is with you."
Hu Jiaxu: "But if you don't speak up for me now, I'm embarrassed. Please give me some way out. I don't want to argue with her anymore. I'm so tired. I want to eat."
Ye Nanning: "What do you want to eat?"
Hu Jiaxu: "Water chestnut cake and spicy noodles."
Mingshuang suddenly laughed: "Can you guys keep your voice down while you're plotting?"
Both of them: "......"
Hu Jiaxu pulled Ye Nanning and prepared to slip away, but was stopped by a hand.
"Where are you going?"
Hu Jiaxu raised his chin: "None of your business."
"Do you want to go eat something?" Mingshuang asked again.
Hu Jiaxu: "Is it not possible? It's lunch time now."
"Okay, I'll treat you. Besides water chestnut cake and spicy strips, what else do you want to eat?" Mingshuang said.
"real?"
"Well, just make friends."
Hu Jiaxu glanced at her and said, "Then I won't feel bad about your money. I still want to drink milk tea."
"Okay." Mingshuang looked at the silent Ye Nanning again, "Ye Nanning, what about you?"
Ye Nanning thought of several kinds of food in her mind, but what she said out loud was: "All are fine."
"Then it's the same as hers?" Mingshuang said.
Ye Nanning nodded.
When Du Xiran came out to get some water, he saw the three of them standing at the elevator entrance and asked, "Where are you going?"
Hu Jiaxu replied: "Let's go buy some food. Mingshuang said she'll treat us."
Du Xiran then saw Mingshuang's front face and was slightly surprised.
At the same time, Ming Shuang was also looking at her, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Who is this?"
"This is Mr. Du, Xiao Ye's immediate superior." Hu Jiaxu introduced again.
"Ms. Du is so beautiful." Mingshuang said with a smile.
"Thank you, you are very beautiful too. Your elevator is here." After Du Xiran finished speaking, the three of them walked into the elevator one by one. Ye Nanning was the last one. When she turned around, she smiled at her.
She raised her eyebrows and turned to fetch water.
"Lao Du, what are you laughing at?" a colleague walked in and asked.
"Did I smile?" Du Xiran touched the corner of her mouth and actually smiled. She joked, "I'm happy to see a beautiful woman."
"You saw Ming Shuang just now, right?" the colleague said, "She is indeed pretty, but I heard from the interns that she is not easy to get along with and is a bit arrogant."
Arrogant? Du Xiran thought about the three people standing together just now. He didn't see any arrogance. Instead, they were quite easy-going, especially to Ye Nanning. He specially stopped the door before she entered the elevator. He was very polite and attentive.
In the milk tea shop downstairs, Hu Jiaxu bought an extra soft European bread. She was a carefree person, and she started chatting with Mingshuang while eating. It didn't take long for her to grasp a lot of information. When the other party mentioned the daily life of studying abroad and the countries he had traveled to, she would exclaim in support.
In comparison, Ye Nanning seemed too calm. She seemed not interested in her rich experience and wonderful journey at all, and her curiosity was not even as high as the bread in her hand.
Mingshuang secretly observed her for a while, and asked casually, "How old is Xiaoye?"
Ye Nanning was stunned for a moment. She was not used to such an intimate address, so she replied stiffly: "Twenty-two."
"I'm a few years older than you."
"Um."
Ming Shuang was embarrassed, and reluctantly continued: "You can call me sister."
"oh."
"...Will you scream?"
"Won't."
Mingshuang's face froze slightly, then she held her chin and smiled.
Hu Jiaxu also laughed: "Isn't our Xiaoye very cute?"
"Yes, so cute." Mingshuang looked at her meaningfully, then turned her head to ask Hu Jiaxu, "Then Xiaoye, who is so beautiful and cute, must be in love, right?"
Hu Jiaxu snapped his fingers: "Good question, not yet. I think she will be there soon."
"Really? So someone has confessed to her, and she's still considering it?"
Hu Jiaxu suddenly fell silent and looked at Ye Nanning: "Can you tell me this?"
Normally, Ye Nanning didn't want to say much, but for some reason, facing Mingshuang, she felt that she could say it, so she nodded.
Hu Jiaxu immediately turned into a spokesperson and said, "No, it was Xiaoye who took the initiative to confess to her, but she hasn't agreed to it yet."
Ming Shuang was slightly surprised: "Xiao Ye confessed to someone else? The other party is still considering it?"
"Yes." Hu Jiaxu said with emotion, "I really want to know who this person is. Xiaoye, if you succeed one day, you must bring him to me!"
Ye Nanning: "Okay, maybe eight hundred years later."
Hu Jiaxu: "I just like your sense of humor."
It was almost lunch time, and the three of them went to the company. Hu Jiaxu ran to the front to throw away the garbage.
Ming Shuang looked at Ye Nan Ning and suddenly asked, "Is the person you confessed to a boy or a girl?"
Ye Nanning's pupils trembled and she looked at her in surprise. She was so shocked that she forgot to hide her emotions.
"It's a girl after all." Mingshuang smiled meaningfully.
In the next few days, Mingshuang somehow joined the eating group. Although it was Hu Jiaxu who was talking to her the whole time, Ye Nanning found it hard to ignore Mingshuang's presence. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but his eyes always seemed to fall on her.
On Thursday, Ye Nanning told Hu Jiaxu in advance that she wanted to eat alone. Hu Jiaxu asked her worriedly if she was feeling unwell. She could only nod her head randomly: "Yeah, I have a cold. I'm afraid I'll infect you."
At noon, she finally had the chance to eat quietly alone, but after the meal Hu Jiaxu gave her some instant powder and Mingshuang brought her a cup of hot water. Their kindness made her feel ashamed, so she had to drink the instant powder in front of them.
At this time, Hu Jiaxu saw Du Xiran passing by and hurriedly called him: "Mr. Du, Xiaoye is sick."
Ye Nanning was startled and couldn't say the words to stop him. She could only stare blankly at Du Xiran walking towards her.
"Why did you suddenly get sick?" Du Xiran asked.
"Maybe it's because the weather is too cold." Hu Jiaxu said, "Xiaoye, how do you feel? Do you want to take a leave this afternoon?"
Ye Nanning shook her head: "I think it's fine, no need to ask for leave."
Ming Shuang said, "Why don't I take you to the hospital, or... I'll ask my doctor to come over and take a look."
Du Xiran and Hu Jiaxu looked over at the same time, and Hu Jiaxu covered his mouth: "Sister, you just accidentally showed off your wealth."
Ming Shuang shrugged: "I thought the fact that I have money doesn't need to be communicated in words."
Hu Jiaxu gave a thumbs up: "You are so cool, I love you so much."
Du Xiran withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Nanning, waiting for her to make her own decision.
Ye Nanning still refused: "Really, it's not necessary. It's just a small matter. It won't be a problem."
At this moment, a warm hand touched her forehead. She raised her head and stared at Du Xiran blankly.
Du Xiran didn't feel the temperature was scalding, so he said, "Come to my office and I'll take your temperature first."
Ye Nanning immediately followed her into the office. Du Xiran took out a thermometer from the medicine box and said, "Use this."
Ye Nanning took it and tucked it under her armpit, then looked at her obediently.
"When did you catch a cold?" Du Xiran asked.
Ye Nanning: "I don't know either."
Du Xiran touched her forehead again with concern, paused for a few seconds, then touched his own forehead and muttered, "It doesn't seem like she has a severe fever."
Ye Nanning stared at the beauty right in front of her, feeling like she was really burning with anger, her heart was on fire.
Du Xiran glanced sideways, and inadvertently noticed her sticky gaze. She panicked for a moment, and then she didn't know what she thought of. She rubbed her wrist and said slowly: "I hate people who deceive me the most. You'd better catch a cold, otherwise..."
! !
Ye Nanning took two steps back and said, "Ouch!" "I almost fell." Then she took out the thermometer from under her armpit, shook it a little, and handed it to Du Xiran, "The temperature may not be accurate."
Du Xiran smiled coldly.
Ye Nanning silently took a few steps back, leaned against the door, and looked at Du Xiran pleadingly: "I was wrong, let me go, let me go."
Just as Du Xiran was about to step forward, she blurted out, "I like you."
Du Xiran suddenly paused, gnashing his teeth and saying, "...Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Ye Nanning tried again: "I like you."
Sure enough, Mr. Du stopped moving!
Ye Nanning quickly fled the office, and then, regardless of whether the other party could see her or not, she gave him a cunning and triumphant smile.
Du Xiran: “............”
