Seeing that it was still early, and since Chu Xing wasn't going home for dinner, she decided not to cook. Instead, she took her employee card to the restaurant, ate, and then went to a nearby shopping mall to pick out two suitable outfits before going home.
At the same time, Tang Lanlan looked at the translation materials in her hand and looked at Su He with some surprise.
"Did you translate this yourself?"
Su He nervously clenched her hands together, fearing something might go wrong.
"Sister Lan, is there a problem with the translation?"
Tang Lanlan shook her head, but her gaze toward Su He was somewhat meaningful.
"No."
Not only were there no flaws, but the translation was also excellent. Many professional terms were translated very well, and the language was concise, sophisticated, and precise. It was so good that it was hard to believe that it was written by a young woman who had just graduated.
Moreover, she had been working with Su He for quite some time. Although Su He's work ability and skill level were not bad, she lacked experience and was rather inexperienced in everything she did.
Even if she has made rapid progress recently, she couldn't have improved to this level all at once.
Su He was already prepared to apologize, even if it was difficult. After all, Tang Lanlan was notoriously difficult to please. Even though she thought Song Mai's translation of the information was flawless, she couldn't guarantee that Tang Lanlan wouldn't find something to criticize.
Song Mai has already helped her so much, she definitely can't betray Song Mai, no matter how big the problem is, she plans to take the blame herself.
When Tang Lanlan said no, she finally relaxed a little and couldn't help but admire Song Mai even more.
She was just a newcomer to Yunxing, and on her first day, she translated the documents so beautifully that even Tang Lanlan couldn't find any fault with them. She was incredibly talented.
Su He thought there were no problems and waited for Tang Lanlan to let her leave, feeling overjoyed that she had finally gotten through this ordeal and could go home.
However, Tang Lanlan just looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, without saying a word, which made her scalp tingle.
"Sister Lan, is there anything else?"
Su He finally couldn't help but ask.
"Who exactly helped you translate it?"
Su He has only been with the company for a few months, and there are not many people she is close to, and those few people are not at her level.
Su He tried to be stubborn, but she couldn't withstand Tang Lanlan's gaze.
“It’s…Songmai…”
Tang Lanlan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with such a person in her department.
Su He quickly added, "She's a new employee who just joined today; you haven't met her yet."
Upon hearing this, Tang Lanlan's lips curled up, and a rare hint of satisfaction appeared on her charming and icy face.
"Qiao Junzhu did a good job this time; she managed to bring in someone with real skills."
She spoke as if to herself.
She didn't care why new employees were joining when there was clearly no shortage of staff, or what kind of trouble the HR department was causing by hiring someone quietly, or whether Qiao Junzhu had poached someone from another company. As long as the new employee was capable and competent, she would welcome them.
Su He was even more frightened by her appearance than by her usual cold demeanor.
Finally, it seemed as if Tang Lanlan had just remembered Su He.
"You can go home now."
"yes."
Su He fled from Tang Lanlan's office as if escaping, her legs feeling weak as she closed the door.
She thought Tang Lanlan was going to scold her for letting someone else do the work, but she didn't say anything at all.
Su He felt a sense of relief, as if she had survived a disaster, and skipped away with her bag in hand.
Chu Xing returned home very late that day, and the bedroom door was not opened until Song Mai had finished showering and fallen into a deep sleep.
The weather had turned completely cold. The man had just returned from outside and was still enveloped in the cold air. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, but worried that she would get cold, so he raised his hand slightly and then put it down again.
She changed into her winter pajamas, which were fluffy at the collar and exposed sleeves, looking very warm.
Song Mai huddled under the covers, revealing her fair and delicate face, sleeping peacefully.
Chu Xing didn't wake her. He had planned to talk to her about her onboarding today if she wasn't asleep, but since she was asleep, he didn't wake her.
He took his pajamas into the bathroom, washed up, and then lay down next to Song Mai.
Song Mai was half asleep when she felt the other side of the bed seem to sink a little. She murmured to herself, feeling as if she was still dreaming.
"You're back?"
Chu Xing noticed her weariness, reached out and wrapped his long arm around the woman's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace and gently patting her back.
"Go to sleep."
Perhaps it was because the weather was getting colder day by day, but Song Mai was unusually sleepy, as if she wanted to stay in bed and sleep forever.
She rested her head on the man's arm, adjusting herself to a more comfortable position, and placed her small hands on his chest. After a while, her breathing became steady again.
Song Mai slept until the next morning. When she woke up, the spot next to her was empty, and the sheets were still warm. It seemed that he had just left not long ago.
She reached for her phone on the bedside table and glanced at the time; it was just seven o'clock.
It was still early, so she lingered in bed for a while before reluctantly getting up.
It was already late autumn, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The chill was especially noticeable in the mornings and evenings. She shivered as soon as she lifted the covers.
After washing up, Song Mai picked out a white sweater and blue jeans from the closet and put them on. She then added a long khaki wool coat over them, which made her feel much warmer.
Nandu has a typical southern city climate, with only two seasons a year: summer and winter.
It was still hot enough to wear a short skirt in the first half of the month, but after two rain showers, it felt like winter had arrived.
She stuffed everything she needed into her bag and went downstairs.
As I passed by the dining table, I noticed that he had already prepared breakfast and put it in a thermal container.
She opened the box and took out breakfast, and the chill on her body seemed to be dispelled by the warmth in her heart.
It rained early yesterday morning, and stopped for a while in the morning, but started dripping again just as she was about to leave. Song Mai had to take out her raincoat, put it on, and then ride her electric scooter to go.
However, wearing a raincoat and then a helmet was not so convenient. In addition, the rain intensified halfway through the journey, and visibility was poor. Several times along the way, she either almost bumped into someone or was almost bumped into by someone.
It took her a full forty minutes to ride the road that should have taken her more than twenty minutes to get to the company, and she almost arrived late.
When she rushed to the sixteenth floor, she was in a very disheveled state.
Her hair was messy and mostly soaked by the rain, clinging haphazardly to her face. Her trousers were also wet up to her knees, and the hem of her wool coat had absorbed a lot of rainwater, creating a striking contrast between the two colors of different shades.
