Chapter 21 Identity
After Lin You went to Manager Hu's office to get his leave application approved, he returned to his workstation to pack up his things.
The lunch break had just ended, and the colleagues in the logistics department were still not in the right state. Some of them were lying on their workstations to take a nap, some went to the tea room to slack off, and some stood by the window to do exercises during the work break.
Intern Zhou Jia's workstation was near the door, and she was the first to react when He Xuan appeared in the logistics department.
"He, special assistant?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other people in the office froze for a moment, and then returned to their workstations at an exaggerated speed.
They pretended to get into work mode, making phone calls, typing on the keyboard, and everyone looked very busy.
Lin You found it funny, but He Xuan was not surprised at all, as if he had seen this situation many times.
At that moment, Lin You suddenly realized that He Xuan was Shi Jingyuan's special assistant!
Even if he acts like a boy next door in front of her, his identity as her special assistant is still there.
Thanks to Shi Jingyuan, He Xuan's status in the group is not low. At least even the department managers are polite to him when they meet him.
Did she ignore this fact because he was getting wet in the rain like a little follower in front of Shi Jingyuan when she first met him?
For some reason, at that moment, Lin You's heart sank.
During this period, she seemed to have neglected a lot of things.
He Xuan ignored everyone else and walked straight up to Lin You and handed the paper form to her.
"Sister Lin, your statistics sheet fell upstairs. I'll bring it down for you."
Lin You took it and looked at it. She had only done half of the cleaning, but it was all done.
She suppressed her emotions and put on a polite smile.
"Assistant He even helped me with the work. Thank you so much! I'll definitely treat you to a meal someday! I didn't realize your handwriting is so good, it's no worse than those calligraphy masters."
He Xuan thought to himself that Mr. Shi’s handwriting must have been specially practiced with a calligraphy master, so of course it was good.
However, he couldn't say this in front of other people.
As for Lin You's gratitude, it was even more impossible for him to claim it on behalf of Mr. Shi.
He Xuan leaned close to Lin You's ear and whispered, "Sister Lin, this is what Mr. Shi filled out for you. You can thank him later."
Lin You's smile froze and his eyes widened in disbelief.
It’s no wonder she was so shocked. He was also scared to death when he first found out.
That's President Shi. He's in charge of decision-making work. When has he ever done miscellaneous work like inventory?
"Sister Lin..." He Xuan hesitated to speak.
Lin You came back to his senses and his face turned much paler than before.
She grabbed the shoulder bag on the table and said to He Xuan, "My brain is a little slow today. I'll go back first."
He Xuan: "Oh."

Perhaps because of her illness, Lin You slept very uneasily and seemed to have had a very long dream.
In her dream, she grabbed Lao Lin's hand and cried and cried.
Many people around her were pointing at her, but she couldn't hear a word they were saying.
She screamed in fear and shook Lao Lin's hand, but Lao Lin's face was pale, as if he were dead...
Lin You suddenly woke up, his back completely soaked with cold sweat.
The whole room was dark, with only the faint light from the electronic alarm clock on the desk.
By the way, Lao Lin is indeed dead.
She still remembered that when Lao Lin had just left, she had nightmares every night. After coming to Jinggang City, she hadn't dreamed of him for more than a year.
For superstitious people, dreaming of the deceased is unlucky, but for her...
But it is the deep longing and guilt engraved in my bones.
Lin You felt a lump in his nose and before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.
Perhaps she was tired of crying, and she fell asleep again in a daze.
Unfortunately, this time, the person who had protected her all her life could no longer enter her dream.

Ever since he dreamed of Lao Lin that day, Lin You has been feeling uneasy.
She always felt that it was a warning from Old Lin to her.
Sure enough, Su Yu called and said that she was hit by a tricycle two days ago. Although it was not serious, she sprained her ankle and had difficulty walking.
Lin You was worried about her being alone at home, so he decided to go home on the weekend.
Lin You’s hometown is Licheng, a not-so-prosperous coastal city.
During this season, many people come to Licheng for tourism, especially on weekends, which is a peak time for short trips.
Early Friday morning, Lin You opened the ticket booking software, but failed to get a high-speed rail ticket.
While eating in the cafeteria at noon, she couldn't help but complain about this to Chen Lingling.
After hearing this, Chen Lingling also sighed.
"Isn't it said that the economy has been bad these past two years and making money is hard? Why are so many people still traveling? Could it be that only people like us, top-level office workers, are poor?"
Lin You sighed, "Who knows."
What she is troubled about now is how to return to her hometown smoothly.
Seeing her frown, Chen Lingling thought for a while and said, "If you can't take the high-speed train, you can hitchhike!"
Lin You raised his eyes and asked, "Do you have any connections?"
Chen Lingling: "Our group has recently expanded its business in many cities, and we travel to other cities every day. How about I ask someone I know in the bus management department for you and ask if there's a bus going to Licheng that can give you a ride."
Lin You's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Seeing her like this, Chen Lingling waved his hand proudly, "Alright, stop acting like you're ready to pledge yourself to me. I'm not a man. But... if you really feel bad about this, just join my WeChat group."
Lin You remembered the fan group she mentioned last time, and her heart skipped a beat.
"No, that's not necessary..."
Chen Lingling smiled creepily, having already opened the QR code on her phone. "Join the group, or find a way to go back home on your own. Choose one."
Lin You: “…”
To Lin You's surprise, after she scanned the QR code to join the group, she found that there were quite a few people in the group, with the number of members showing 495.
How could such a weird group have so many members?
"Have you included all the female employees in the company?" Lin You asked jokingly.
Chen Lingling shook her head. "No! Our company has the fewest people. Most of them joined through the Super Topic forum."
Super topic?
Lin You was genuinely shocked. "Mr. Shi... even has a super topic?"
Chen Lingling looked disdainful of her lack of knowledge. "Is this weird? My idol is the future leader of the Shi family. KSH Group is nothing but a test paper for him."
"Believe it or not, if my idol enters the entertainment industry, he will definitely be at the peak of his career as soon as he debuts! He will be a hundred blocks away from those traffic stars."
Lin You's mouth twitched, not daring to say he didn't believe it.
In the afternoon, Chen Lingling sent her a message and actually found her a ride from the company to Licheng.
But this bus is not going to Licheng on Saturday, but will leave tonight.
Lin You is just a hitchhiker. He is satisfied with having a seat and has no right to choose the time to leave.
