Her waist was aching from sitting so she took the cup and went outside to get some water and walk around at the same time.
After going outside, many colleagues were resting there. After pouring the water, she walked back and saw two female colleagues asking about the relationship between Dai Zixin and Chen Xu.
When she heard Chen Xu's name, she stopped subconsciously.
"... and you said you have nothing to do with each other. I heard everything that happened this morning."
Another person asked curiously, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."
The person who spoke at the beginning said, "Chen Xu even contradicted Mr. Luo for her. There were many people waiting for the elevator at that time, and many people saw it."
"Wow, I didn't expect Chen Xu to be so brave." another person said in surprise.
Dai Zixin said helplessly, "It's not what you think at all."
"You don't like him?"
"That's right. You are so good. You can choose a better boyfriend."
"If that's the case, I think you'd better make it clear to Chen Xu. We're all colleagues. Don't make a mess of it. It won't do you any good."
Dai Zixin was almost going crazy listening to their chatter. "What are you talking about? If Chen Xu heard what you said, he would laugh at me to death. I beg you, please stop spreading these rumors."
The other two saw that she didn't look fake and were a little skeptical, "He's really not pursuing you?"
"Absolutely not." Dai Zixin said firmly, almost swearing.
"Hey, Secretary Guo, why are you here?" At this time, someone noticed Secretary Guo standing next to them and asked curiously.
Secretary Guo said, "Come out and get a glass of water."
As she spoke, she pulled over a chair and sat down, saying, "I just heard you mention Chen Xu. What kind of person do you think he is?"
The other people looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Secretary Guo knew that his question was a bit blunt, so he could only speak to himself, "I think he is a bit withdrawn, he doesn't talk much, and apart from his good relationship with Zi Xin, he doesn't seem to have much communication with you guys."
One of the girls couldn't help but say, "Yeah, he's a weird guy. Last time during a team building, I asked him to take photos, but he always found an excuse to turn it down. Also, have you noticed that he never posts on WeChat Moments?"
"No way," said another, "I thought he blocked me."
"I was also curious at first, but I happened to know a colleague from his former department, so I asked him about it and found out that he never posts on WeChat Moments."
A new girl who was resting on the table looked up and said, "I don't even have him on WeChat. Last time I wanted him to buy something for me, I sent him a friend request, but it was never accepted."
"Oh my god, you feel the same way. I thought I was the only one treated like this. I was wondering if I had offended him in some way." Another person looked up. He was also a newcomer, a male colleague.
…
Dai Zixin listened to his colleagues' complaints about Chen Xu and thought, it turns out I'm not the only one who thinks he's weird.
However, as a friend, she felt she had an obligation to speak up for him. “In fact, he is very responsible at work.”
Secretary Guo also agreed with this. She and Chen Xu had always communicated about work, and he had never made a mistake in the things he had done. He was neither long-winded nor complained, and he always got things done. It made her worry-free.
As for the rest, after listening to so many comments from colleagues, she had a rough idea in her mind. At the very least, she was not up to standard in getting along with colleagues.
No wonder my position has hardly changed after working in the company for two years.
But the more this happened, the more puzzled she became. How could a man who was not unusual in any way be related to Mr. Luo?
She had read Chen Xu's file before, and it was completely unremarkable. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like he had any connection with Mr. Luo.
"I must have made a mistake." She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't let go of Mr. Luo's abnormal behavior today.
…………
Chen Xu didn't know about Secretary Guo's inner struggle. He was still running outside. This time, he didn't take the bus or the subway. He just scanned a shared bicycle and rode it.
He had no time to exercise since this morning, so he took advantage of the opportunity to travel, and riding a bicycle can be considered a form of exercise, so he tried the effect of the "Endurance" card.
At the end of the day, I went to three places and was exhausted.
I did find something different from usual, which is the recovery ability, which has been significantly improved.
He usually lacks exercise. The last time he went for a run, he was so tired and out of breath after running for a few minutes. It took him a few hours to fully recover.
Now, I am still very tired and gasping for breath. After resting for half an hour, I feel almost refreshed and feel fully revived.
He was very excited and decided to take time out every day to exercise. The body is the most important asset and it cannot be overemphasized.
After finishing the work of another branch, he took out his mobile phone and found that Dai Zixin had sent him several WeChat messages, asking him why his colleagues added him as a friend but he did not agree.
"Is there?"
He had no recollection of it, but when he clicked on the contact list, he saw two friend requests. After thinking about it, he remembered what happened. He explained, "They didn't leave their names, and their profile pictures didn't reveal who they were. I thought they were selling tea, so I ignored them."
Soon, Dai Zixin replied, "Oh my god, isn't there a man?"
"He used a woman's profile picture, how would I know."
Chen Xu felt quite innocent. Some time ago, people with girls' profile pictures kept adding him, saying that they were abandoned by their boyfriends of several years, and then they talked about how miserable their life was, and then they asked for leave to go back to their grandfather's tea plantation...
Everyone's routine is the same, he's tired of it, can't he try something new? So, when he sees similar profile pictures, he doesn't want to pay any attention to them. Who would have thought that one of them would be his colleague?
He had just replied to the message when his phone rang. He saw the name and saw it was his uncle, so he quickly picked up the phone, "Uncle."
"Chen Xu, are you free now? The school called me just now and said Xiaoqi didn't go to school today." On the phone, Uncle San's voice was very anxious, "I'm out of town now and can't go back for the time being. I called her but she didn't answer, I was so worried."
Chen Xu hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll give her a try."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and called his cousin, but no one answered.
Where did this damn girl go? He sighed and called his uncle back, "How about this, I'll ask for leave from the company and go find her right away. Tell me first, what happened?"
