Chapter 115 Trapped
Elevator trapped
He has been so busy these days that he is dizzy and it is already eight or nine o'clock when he returns to the dormitory at night.
Even the game was played during his free time in the shower. He turned on the automatic follow button and let Qianli form a team to guide him in daily tasks.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the daily work ended. He sat in front of the table, yawning sleepily while trying to respond to the voices in the headset.
Finally, Bu Qianli noticed that something was wrong with him and urged him to log off. Chi Dong did not refuse. He was really tired and sleepy, so he said good night, turned off the computer, lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Fortunately, Bu Qianli would not ask him why he was so late online every night, because Chi Dong didn't want others to think that he was useless and even did a worse job than others in his internship.
However, what he didn't know was that Bu Qianli had started to get suspicious on the first day. At first, she just thought that Chi Dong had just joined the company and might have a lot to learn, so it was normal for him to go home late on the first day.
But in the next few days, he came back at this time without exception, which made Qianli wonder if Dongdong was preparing for a trip.
However, after his casual inquiries, Dongdong explained that he was too busy at work and was still adapting to the intensity of the work, so he was so tired. After getting the explanation, Bu Qianli's uneasy heart finally relaxed a little.
In this regard, he also thought of the company's recent batch of interns, and also thought of the younger student whom he hadn't seen for some time.
Bu Qianli looked at the name noted on the WeChat chat interface, thought for a moment, and decided to take some time to personally inspect each department to avoid being accused by outsiders of being harsh on employees.
On this day, Bu Qianli had just finished a social event at the hotel. Night was slowly falling, and the street lights flickered one by one. The light and shadow quickly alternated on his face, outlining his distinct features.
He didn't bring anyone else with him today, saying it was a social event, but in reality it was just a private dinner and there was no need to drink, so he drove by himself.
While waiting for the traffic light on the way, Bu Qianli took out his mobile phone and looked at the unread message on the Penguin. He glanced at the time again, which was half past six. His brows instantly tightened and his eyes became cold. The entire air pressure in the car dropped sharply because of his expression.
His mood at that moment immediately made him lose the desire to go home, so he stepped on the accelerator, turned around, and went back to the company to deal with the remaining matters.
On the other hand, Chi Dong originally planned to go back after delivering the documents that Sister Xuan asked him to deliver, but just as he was about to turn off the computer, he saw the proposal revision comments sent to him by his colleague.
He didn't expect that the other party would send it to him after get off work, and also reminded him to finish it tonight and the manager would take a look at it tomorrow.
Chi Dong looked at the densely packed revision comments marked in red, sighed, then obediently put down the document, sat back in his seat and continued working.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who made him just an employee?
The operations department is on the 12th floor. Since he started working these days, Chi Dong has been doing nothing but work. He once tried to get close to other people, but their attitudes were very cold and they did not take his advances seriously.
So gradually, Chi Dong stopped making trouble for himself and just quietly did his job seriously.
No matter how good his eyesight was, he could still see that many people in the department were not so friendly to him, and could even be said to be cold and silent.
They gave Chi Dong a feeling that he would soon be fired by the company.
However, Lin An'an, who came in at the same time as him, was much smoother than him. Those who avoided him and were afraid of getting stuck to him, treated Lin An'an differently.
Lin An'an can easily gain the closeness of other colleagues without even having to do the superficial work of pleasing them.
This made Chi Dong start to doubt whether he was really that annoying.
After revising it and sending it back, Chi Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was told that it didn't need to be revised anymore. He looked at the time and was stunned.
"Oh no, it's past eight o'clock, and I don't know if anyone is still up there."
He hurriedly turned off the computer. He was the only one working on this floor, so he needed to check whether all the equipment was turned off before leaving.
After looking through it carefully and finding no problems, Chi Dong quickly picked up the document on the table and hurried into the elevator.
Since it was already past the working hours, the elevator was empty and no one outside pressed the stop button, so he quickly reached the 24th floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Chi Dong was stunned for a moment. He looked around and found that only one office was lit.
He walked over and knocked on the door. There was only a round-faced girl wearing glasses sitting inside. He carefully confirmed Xu Anjie's whereabouts with her and was told that he had already gone home after get off work.
Hearing her words, Chi Dong was in a dilemma. He wanted to put the document on Xu Anjie's desk, but the girl stopped him and said it was not safe to leave the document on the desk. Then she suggested that he could give it to her and she would keep it for him and deliver the document safely to him early tomorrow.
Chidong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He thought there shouldn't be any problems, so he handed the document over and said a few words of thanks.
Then, he turned around and was about to leave when the girl suddenly called him, "Take this folder back. Team leader Xu has obsessive-compulsive disorder and doesn't like this type of folder. We all make other types."
"I happen to have an empty folder here. Let me help you change it."
"...Okay, thank you first." Hearing her words, Chi Dong didn't think much about it and agreed casually.
Now that he had found the document, he didn't stay any longer. After thanking the girl, he walked out without stopping.
When I went down from the 24th floor, I thought the elevator would go directly to the first floor, but it stopped at the 21st floor.
The door opened and someone walked in.
At that time, Chi Dong was standing in the corner with his head down, thinking about something. He didn't even look up to see who came in. He only knew that the man had been standing at the door and was reluctant to come in until the door was about to close.
Hearing the sound of the elevator door closing, Chi Dong came back to his senses from his daze and looked over there casually.
"Senior?"
When he saw who it was, his eyes suddenly widened, his brown pupils reflected an expression of disbelief and astonishment. His lips opened slightly and he cried out unconsciously.
Bu Qianli had seen Chi Dong as soon as the door opened. The reason why he paused was because he found that day that there was something wrong with the way Chi Dong looked at him. It was not like the look of a junior looking at a senior.
If that was really what he thought, he would probably have to stay away. He couldn't respond to this emotion. He had always treated Chi Dong as his younger brother, so for the sake of his junior, he would pretend that he didn't see or notice it.
"Well, why are you here, junior?" Bu Qianli's voice was steady and magnetic, with a hint of surprise in her tone, as if she didn't know why Chi Dong was here.
Chi Dong stared blankly at Bu Qianli who was standing in front of him. Her figure was tall and slender, and her deep eyes were fixed on him without blinking.
Suddenly, their eyes met, which made Chi Dong a little flustered. He quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to continue looking at Bu Qianli, as he was afraid that he would be discovered. "I... I'm an intern here."
Bu Qianli pretended to be surprised and asked, "Last time you mentioned joining the company, you were referring to this company?"
Chi Dong nodded, his expression slightly nervous. The space was narrow in the elevator, and the person he liked was so close to him, so close that he could almost smell the faint scent of sandalwood emanating from Bu Qianli.
"Yeah, yeah, sorry senior, I didn't tell you before because I thought I might not get in after the interview, so I thought I'd tell you after the interview."
Chi Dong remembered the lie he had told before, and his face instantly turned red, burning from his ears to his neck.
"It doesn't matter. Now you..."
Before Bu Qianli could finish her words, the elevator suddenly began to shake violently and descended rapidly, causing Chi Dong, who was not mentally prepared at all, to fall violently from his original position to the other side.
Are they going to die here?!
Chi Dong fell to the ground, his eyes full of fear, and he tried to stand up anxiously.
"Don't move. Just stay there."
Bu Qianli hurried to dissuade him. Even at such a critical moment, there was no trace of panic on his face. He was so calm that he didn't seem like a human.
At this moment, the elevator clanged and suddenly stopped between the eighth and ninth floors. Seeing that the elevator finally stopped going down, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially Chi Dong, this was his first time encountering such a situation. He was now in a state of confusion and had no idea what to do.
Bu Qianli was a little worried when she saw him like this: "Junior brother, are you okay? Are you injured?"
"No, no, senior, how about you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Chi Dong quickly came to his senses and looked over in panic.
Bu Qianli shook her head slightly: "Neither do I."
"That's good, that's good. What should we do now?" Chi Dong tried to force a smile. "Yes, I remember. Let me call you on my cell phone."
Suddenly, he remembered that he needed to call someone, so he searched his pockets with shaking hands, trying to take out his cell phone to see if he could make a call.
However, when he was looking for it, he suddenly found that the mobile phone in his pocket had been thrown out because of the violent shaking of the elevator just now and his trouser pocket was relatively shallow.
It flew behind where Bu Qianli was standing.
Looking at the distance between the two people, Chi Dong hesitated whether to stand up and slowly move over to pick it up, but his thought was immediately stopped by Bu Qianli.
Bu Qianli first asked him to sit still and not move, then he slowly squatted down, stretched his hand back, and directly picked up the phone that Chi Dong threw to him.
Bu Qianli knew that they couldn't make any big moves now, because they had no idea why the elevator was dropping so rapidly, and they couldn't risk their lives.
So after the elevator got stuck, he immediately found the right moment to press the emergency bell. He estimated that by then the security department had already received the news and was rushing over here.
Chi Dong carefully took the phone he handed over, and when he opened it, he found that the screen was not only broken into pieces, but also could not be turned on.
This worse-than-average situation made him feel helpless. He subconsciously wanted to get closer to Bu Qianli, but when he thought about the consequences that if he moved, the elevator might continue to descend, he was so scared that he dared not move.
Fortunately, all the company's equipment was installed at the highest configuration, so even if the elevator went down quickly, the light tubes in the elevator were still very bright and there was no problem at all.
"Junior, don't worry, I promise you that we will be fine." Bu Qianli began to soothe Chi Dong's emotions.
"Yeah, I'm not worried, I believe you." Chi Dong nodded gently, trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart.
Although he didn't have claustrophobia, he was afraid of death, and he was even more afraid that Bu Qianli would die here with him.
