Chapter 3 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot



The constant clatter of keyboards across from her had been going on since the start of the workday, and the water in her cup was long gone. Cheng Qicai was even more puzzled; even so, she still didn't have any work assigned to her?

Hearing Cheng Qicai's concern, Lin Fengjie stopped typing. "No, only a little bit."

Cheng Qicai watched as his hand silently pressed on the document, which was as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary. She remained silent for a moment, pondering to herself.

Do you look down on me because I got in through connections?

That shouldn't be the case. According to the tropes of novels, shouldn't the way to deal with someone like her who got in through connections be to work her to death with overtime, give her incorrect documents to report to the boss, and bully her in the workplace behind her back?

Could it be that this novel's plot involves ignoring her, isolating her, and making her quit because she can't take it anymore?

But that's not true. Every time Lin Fengjie goes to the cafeteria for lunch, he still invites me to come along. The first time I went, he even got me food. He was incredibly polite.

Cheng Qicai couldn't understand the reason.

Feeling incredibly bored, she asked Lin Fengjie across from her, "Where's President Gu? I haven't seen him come to work these past two days."

Whether it was Cheng Qicai's imagination or not, she felt Lin Fengjie pause and his gaze fall on her for a moment.

It's here! It's finally here! It's been a whole week since I asked. Lin Fengjie sat up straight.

However, why hasn't President Gu come to check on his little lover for a whole week? Could it be that he suddenly became infatuated and forgot about her?

He replied with the same refrain he'd used countless times: "You might need to ask Mr. Gu yourself about that."

"Huh? I'm asking?"

Cheng Qicai was dumbfounded. The boss wasn't working, so it was her turn to ask?

"But... I don't have his phone number either." Cheng Qicai felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"?! How come you don't have his phone number?" Lin Fengjie also sensed that something was wrong.

"Then...should I have it?"

"..." Lin Fengjie lowered his head and remained silent for a while before asking, "What is your relationship with President Gu?"

"Relationship? We have no relationship."

She and Lin Fengjie across from her stared at each other, their eyes meeting.

Cheng Qicai also fell silent for a while, pondering the meaning behind Lin Fengjie's question, before finally speaking after a long pause: "If there is any relationship, then President Gu is my cousin's friend, or perhaps a suitor?"

"..."

Lin Fengjie pretended to ignore what was happening and pulled out the file next to him separately. "Xiao Cheng, take this data and enter it into the computer."

Is it really that realistic, Brother Lin?

Cheng Qicai got the job she wanted and worked overtime until 9 p.m.

She was so regretful!
