I thought that the chance encounter with Anjing was just a minor incident during their meal.
Unexpectedly, the next day when she went to work, Anjing went to the company on her own.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Wang Ying."
The receptionist looked up quietly and saw the woman with the same name as her from yesterday. She immediately recognized her. "It's you, Ms. An. Please wait a moment. I'll go see if Manager Wang has arrived yet."
pity--
How could Wang Ying possibly arrive at work on time without anyone supervising her?
"I'm sorry, Ms. An, Manager Wang hasn't arrived yet. Did you make an appointment beforehand?" the receptionist asked quietly.
She was immediately annoyed. "Do I need an appointment to see my classmate? What time do you open? She doesn't come every day."
The receptionist sensed something was off about her words, but didn't say anything more.
"Manager Wang often goes to construction sites, so he doesn't clock in on time like us. But you've come a bit too early. We start work at 9:30, and it's not time yet. Could you please wait a little while?"
Their company originally started work at 9 a.m., which was already much later than most companies.
But what can they do when their work gets busy and they often have to work overtime?
Lin Wei simply changed the time to 9:30 to 5:30 to get used to it for a while.
If that's still too early, starting work at 10 am is also acceptable; the closing time can be pushed back accordingly, always prioritizing the convenience of employees.
This kind of working time was something my classmate Anjing never expected. "You guys at this time... never mind, I'll wait for her to come."
The receptionist quietly led the person to the conference room. After returning to the front desk, she made a phone call to Wang Ying.
"Manager Wang, that classmate of mine with the same name that we had lunch with yesterday has come to the company to see you."
Wang Ying was on her way to work when she heard this and was clearly taken aback. "An Jing? She came to see me?"
"Well, she acted like she wouldn't leave until she saw you, so I didn't know what to do and arranged for her to go to the conference room."
Wang Ying paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Okay, I'll be at the company in a little while. Could you get them a glass of water?"
After hanging up, Wang Ying called Lin Wei again.
However, due to her demanding graduate coursework, Lin Wei didn't have time to turn her phone on, and naturally, she didn't receive Wang Ying's call.
"Sigh, this is always the case at crucial moments." But why did Anjing come to see her? "My heart is pounding, I have a feeling it's not going to be good. Oh well, I'll go up and meet her. Anyway, I don't have any money, and I can't make decisions about the company. I can't help her with whatever she wants."
With that thought in mind, Wang Ying felt much more relaxed and rushed to the company just in time for 10 o'clock.
Where are they?
Upon arriving at the front desk, Wang Ying immediately asked a question.
The receptionist quietly pointed to the side, "Is it in the conference room? Do you want to meet me there, or should I take you to your office?"
"I don't know what she's here for? Let's meet here."
The meeting room is right next to the reception desk, but it has been separated into a separate area.
However, the partitions are all made of glass, so there is absolutely no privacy; it's just a quieter place.
As soon as Wang Ying stepped out of the elevator, An Jing in the conference room saw her.
After she finished greeting the receptionist, she walked over.
"Anjing? What brings you here?" Wang Ying asked in surprise, as if she didn't know Anjing was there.
An Jing stood up naturally as usual and greeted the other person, "It's rare to run into an old classmate. Yesterday was too rushed, so I thought I'd catch up with you again."
The moment the words "catching up" were uttered, the meeting room became somewhat inappropriate.
"Oh, I thought it was something serious. Let's go to my office."
"OK."
Wang Ying led An Jing towards her office.
Lin Wei had previously complained that all the employees Wang Ying hired were their classmates, which led to everyone greeting them when Wang Ying led An Jing in.
Who is this person?
"Is it quiet? It's been so long."
Anjing nodded and said, "Hello, it's really unexpected that you all work here. I was wondering why I didn't see you at other companies."
The students weren't stupid; they knew from the implication that An Jing wasn't there to work. They immediately asked, "Hey, I heard you went to the planning bureau back then. That's a good job. Are you still there?"
"Yes, I came here today to see Wang Ying."
Wang Ying's office wasn't far; you could get there by simply walking through the office.
Because of its large size, Wang Ying's office, besides Lin Wei's, is also quite spacious.
She occupies a huge 40-square-meter office all by herself, complete with filing cabinets, coffee table, sofa, and tea set.
Lin Wei's office has a fish tank and some plants. Since she usually takes care of these things, she also keeps some in her room.
Anjing glanced at it once, but the sorrow in her eyes was impossible to hide.
"Is this your office?"
"right."
Wang Ying put her bag down and quickly went to the tea set to boil water.
"No need for that."
"It's okay, I want to drink it myself."
"You certainly have the leisure and inclination."
Hearing An Jing's words, Wang Ying paused in pouring water.
Seeing An Jing pacing back and forth in the office without sitting down for a long time, Wang Ying called out, "Come and sit down. All offices are the same, nothing special."
"Isn't this special? You could put a bed there and sleep right at the company, right? Even our top leader's office isn't as big as yours."
Not only that, their office isn't even that big either; six people have to squeeze into one room, and sometimes when they're coming and going, they easily knock over the documents.
When documents are scattered and disorganized, disputes can easily arise between people.
Quietness only makes me feel tired, but the atmosphere here is completely different.
Not wanting to upset An Jing, Wang Ying added, "This building belongs to Shen Jize, so his own building is bound to be more spacious than a rented one. When this office building was first built, Shen Jize said that the entire floor would be for Weiwei, but since Weiwei doesn't need it, she only needs half."
"Back then, before the company started operating, there were only two people in the company, Weiwei and me, so naturally we did whatever was most spacious."
Back then, everything was about design.
But it's still the same now. After all, with such a large area but only a few people, the office still looks very spacious.
After boiling the water, Wang Ying brewed the tea, poured a cup, and handed it to An Jing.
He watched her quietly, without moving.
"Weiwei is so good to you."
Wang Ying took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then said, "Weiwei has indeed treated me well. If it weren't for her, I would have been unemployed and failed the postgraduate entrance exam. If I had gone back like that, my family would have scolded me to death."
"By the way, where are you staying now? Does your company provide accommodation?"
"No, not really. But since my salary is pretty good, I borrowed some money from my parents and bought an apartment near the company. All that money was borrowed. Every month, after deducting my expenses, I give all my salary to my parents. Life is very tight. Just yesterday, I even went to Weiwei's place for a free meal."
