Chapter 25 New Colleagues
In the blink of an eye, Yan Nian had been in Boya for a full month.
Lunch break.
Yan Nian drew a small circle on the number 7.17 on the calendar, marked it: Dad's birthday, and added two cat ears on the circle.
Today is Yan’s father’s birthday.
The pen tip moved down and stopped at 7, 26. Yan Nian's heart suddenly tightened. He just put an inconspicuous black dot after the date, then put the calendar back on his workstation, gathered his thoughts, and prepared to take a break.
The other four members of the translation team had returned one after another. Seeing that she hadn't gone to eat, Xu Xinrui asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Yan Nian shook his head: "I can't eat it."
Yan Nian loses her appetite during her period, as if her body system is disordered and it will not return to normal until it is over.
Xu Mi came over to look at her. Her pale and charming face was only supported by the faint glaze on her lips. "You already have this figure, you don't want to lose weight, do you? Can you bear not eating lunch for three days?"
Yan Nian didn't know what they thought of people, thinking they were losing weight by not eating. She explained patiently, "I'm on my period, so I can't eat."
Xu Mi blinked her almond-shaped eyes, realizing she had guessed wrong, and changed the subject: "Oh! Handmade brown sugar, would you like some?"
This was the second time Xu Mi had promoted her handmade brown sugar in front of her. If she rejected her kindness again, it would really seem unkind. Yan Nian's eyes curved slightly: "Okay, thank you!"
Xu Mi took out an exquisite little box from her drawer, took out a heart-shaped piece of brown sugar from it and put it in her cup.
"Thank you!" Yan Nian got up and went to make some tea.
Xu Mi pulled her again, "Wait, give me some more wolfberries."
Yan Nian saw that there were a lot of food in her box, from various health-preserving flower teas that could be brewed to various snacks. It was like a treasure chest, and she was quite envious for a moment.
Xu Mi scooped a spoonful of wolfberries from the wolfberry jar and put it into her cup: "Okay, go!"
Yan Nian fetched the water and came back. Orange-red wolfberries were floating on the red sugar water, and the color was fresh and delicious.
After stirring it and drinking a few sips, my whole body began to warm up and it did relieve me a lot.
Xu Mi and Xu Xinrui were picking something in the back and they were arguing for a while.
Xu Xinrui: "I think this looks good."
Xu Mi: "This one looks good, but yours doesn't."
The situation remained deadlocked, and Xu Xinrui ran over to ask Yan Nian, "Yan Nian, which type of red envelope do you think looks good?"
Yan Nian put down the cup and moved closer. It was a picture of a red envelope to be used for a wedding.
There are DIY customized ones, as well as gold-stamped retro ones with the word "囍" (囍) on them. There are so many that it's dizzying.
Yan Nian's first reaction was: "Are you getting married?"
She and You Jia are the youngest in the translation team, while Xu Xinrui is the oldest and the most experienced one in the team.
She is considered half the leader of the translation team. When Zhou Ran and Gu Pingping are not around for important matters, she is basically the one who makes the decisions.
Xu Xinrui couldn't hide his joy and nodded: "Yeah."
Yan Nian's gaze lingered on her face for half a second, and he pointed at the retro and simple one in the picture, the bright red one with a frosted texture: "This one looks good."
Xu Mi came over at the same time to see what she admired. After knowing the answer, she patted Xu Xinrui and said, "I told you, my taste is right. What's your look? You still don't believe it. I'll make a custom one. Then print photos of you and your husband on it. When they run out, you can follow those people and pick it up. Hahaha."
Yan Nian imagined the scene in his mind and smiled as well.
Xu Xinrui rolled his eyes at her: "Oh, you're so annoying!"
Yan Nianxiao is rarely seen, and Xu Mi recruits her again and again.
Yan Nian felt her gaze lingering on his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Xu Mi came back to her senses: "No."
…
Gu Pingping announced in the group that the meeting would be held at 2 pm.
There was only a dozen minutes of break time, and Yan Nian finished drinking the brown sugar water in just enough time, picked up his notebook and went to the meeting room.
Just as he sat down, Zhou Ran's tall figure appeared at the door of the conference room, holding a document in his hand, and walked in arrogantly.
At the same time, a strange face followed behind.
The woman stopped behind Zhou Ran.
She is tall and fair-skinned, about thirty years old, with a straight back. She is wearing a black professional suit that shows the competence and spirit of a working woman.
His bright eyes swept over the three people present.
It doesn't seem easy.
Zhou Ran sat down, clasped his fingers together, and crossed his legs. He reached out and opened the document in front of him.
After learning from the previous incident, everyone thought he would throw the documents at them the next second.
As to who it is, it is unknown.
Except for Yan Nian, everyone stared at the document intently, fearing that it would bring disaster to themselves.
Zhou Ran turned to a certain page and stopped, the atmosphere was completely controlled by him.
Everyone held their breath.
"There's a new person in the translation team today." Zhou Ran looked slightly to the side.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman next to her immediately understood and stood up to introduce herself. "Hello everyone, my name is Liang Yu, I'm 31 years old, and before this, I had seven years of experience in translation at a translation company. I'm honored to be able to join Boya thanks to Mr. Zhou's trust. I hope to work hand in hand with you all in the future. Thank you!"
The woman's eyes were bright and her voice was clear.
Except for Yan Nian who applauded, the rest of the translation team remained indifferent.
"..." Yan Nian didn't know the reason and was confused for a moment. The applause gradually weakened and he tilted his head to look to both sides.
He calmly withdrew his hand.
Zhou Ran raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes fixed on her briefly confused face, and he raised his hand nonchalantly to welcome the new colleague. With his opening words, warm applause broke out.
“…” Yan Nian didn’t know that there was a first-come-first-served principle here, and looked at Zhou Ran with interest.
Willful and casual, as if saying to her "what's the rush?"
…
The meeting lasted less than half an hour.
Afterwards, Zhou Ran invited everyone to his office for tea: "Qi Hui and Yan Nian, please come to the office later. Gu Pingping will take Liang Yu to the Human Resources Department first."
Gu Pingping: "Okay, Mr. Zhou."
