Chapter 14 Working Together
"ah??"
Lin Xu was taken into the car with a confused look on his face, and only realized it after fastening his seat belt.
The sunny and fresh scent on Lin Xu made Zhou Yan feel inexplicably better.
Having someone to talk to in the car makes the morning rush hour traffic less annoying.
Lin Xu grabbed the seat belt and looked out the window, feeling a little helpless.
Zhou Yan's car was filled with his scent.
A hint of mint mixed with tobacco.
Lin Xu felt complicated when he thought about going to and from get off work with Zhou Yan in the future.
Of course he was happy because he didn't have to squeeze into the subway. More importantly, it almost guaranteed that he and Zhou Yan would have some time alone every day.
This is much better than not being able to see him for a few days because he is busy working overtime.
But he was also worried.
I'm worried that if this continues, I'll fall for this straight man sooner or later.
Falling in love with a straight man is the beginning of tragedy.
This sentence that has been circulating in the circle for many years is a story of blood and tears.
Also, isn't he taking advantage of me by doing this? How about he pay half the gas bill from now on?
You can also feel at ease.
But as soon as he expressed his idea, Zhou Yan rejected it.
"Even when you're not working, I still drive this route every day. What's the matter? Does it waste gas with you in the car?"
Lin Xu muttered quietly, "With more people and more load, it really consumes more fuel."
There was a vehicle accident ahead and their car was stuck in the middle. Zhou Yan was a little anxious.
But seeing Lin Xu's expression, he suddenly stopped being anxious.
He leaned over the steering wheel, looked sideways at Lin Xu, and joked, "When you grow to 200 pounds, I'll definitely ask you for gas money."
Lin Xu was amused by him.
"Don't curse me."
"Come on, I didn't feel any difficulty carrying you the other day. With your small body, even if you eat delicacies every day, you won't gain 200 pounds."
Lin Xu secretly glanced at Zhou Yan's arm muscles wrapped in his shirt, and complained in his heart: With your physical strength, who can you carry with difficulty?
The car couldn't move for a while, so Lin Xu saw a convenience store on the side of the road, so he got out and bought two breakfasts.
Two sandwiches and two bags of milk.
"Since you don't want to charge me for the fare, you can't refuse my breakfast. Eat it."
Zhou Yan couldn't remember how old he was the last time he drank this kind of fruit-flavored milk.
Probably elementary school.
Holding the bag with strawberry pattern in his hand, Zhou Yan felt like laughing.
Seeing his strange expression, Lin Xu asked, "What's wrong? This is delicious. I buy it every time I go to this convenience store."
Lin Xu tried his best to recommend it to Zhou Yan, who readily accepted the suggestion and bit open a corner of the bag and took a sip.
The light strawberry flavor and milky aroma make the taste not too sweet, and the refrigerated dairy products have a cool feeling.
It smells a bit like Lin Xu's.
Zhou Yan nodded and gave affirmation.
Eating the same sandwiches, drinking the same drinks, and talking about the same topics.
The relationship between the two people seems to have changed from a simple landlord and tenant to friends who have known each other for a long time.
Zhou Yan is very talkative, which has something to do with his personality and profession.
Lin Xu also has a cheerful personality, so it is not difficult for the two to communicate.
And one of the main reasons why Zhou Yan likes to get along with Lin Xu is that Lin Xu is very simple.
Different from the colleagues and clients he interacts with every day.
When I talk to him, I never have to think about how to say it.
Lin Xu seemed to appear in Zhou Yan's life suddenly, but was not a part of his real life.
It's a wonderful feeling.
The previous accident was resolved.
The cars on the road gradually began to move.
The two of them arrived downstairs of the company at just the right time.
"I don't think I have any social engagements tonight. Let's go together after get off work." Zhou Yan made an invitation.
"Okay, then let's contact each other on WeChat." Lin Xu shook his phone.
There were quite a few people waiting in front of the elevator on the underground floor. As soon as Zhou Yan appeared, several people immediately greeted him: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yan put away the casualness he had when he was with Lin Xu, and nodded slightly and said "hmm" in a very official manner.
Lin Xu looked at him secretly, and suddenly felt like meeting the dean of studies at school.
This is what Zhou Yan looks like when he works.
In order to maintain Zhou Yan's dignity in front of his subordinates, Lin Xu kept a distance from Zhou Yan and did not speak to him again.
The elevator arrived, and after the doors opened, several employees who had just been there automatically made room for Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, please."
"Together." Although Zhou Yan said this, he still entered the elevator first.
If he didn't go up, those people would still give way to him, which would waste everyone's time.
After Zhou Yan entered the elevator, he waved to Lin Xu and said, "Come here."
It was only then that others noticed that Lin Xu, who had been standing behind Zhou Yan, was someone Mr. Zhou knew.
Lin Xu quickly lowered his head and walked past a few people, standing next to Zhou Yan.
The others then got on the elevator.
Zhou Yan's company is on the 16th floor, and Lin Xu's company is on the 25th floor.
Before getting off the elevator, Zhou Yan patted Lin Xu on the shoulder and said, "Good luck on your first day at work."
Lin Xu immediately smiled brightly: "Thank you!"
The elevator door closed, Lin Xu's smile disappeared, and Zhou Yan's face with a faint smile was reflected on the elevator door.
Zhou Yan quickly retracted his expression, turned around calmly, and went into the company to punch in for work.
Lin Xu arrived at the 25th floor, clocked in at the door, and went directly to the design department.
After knocking on the general manager's office door and getting permission from the person inside, Lin Xu pushed the door open.
"Mr. Han?"
Sitting behind the desk was Han Jingyi, who interviewed him yesterday.
"What? Are you surprised to see me?"
"Ah, aren't you the general manager? You're in charge of the design department, too?"
Han Jingyi chuckled, "Originally, I didn't care, but something happened within the company a few days ago. The design manager ran away with the original designer, so I'm here to take charge temporarily. Otherwise, why do you think we're suddenly hiring?"
"Oh." Lin Xu nodded.
He didn't know whether he should comfort Han Jingyi for the loss of such a talented person, or be glad that the original designer ran away, giving him the opportunity.
"Come, I'll take you to meet your colleagues in the department." Han Jingyi stood up from his chair and took Lin Xu to his workstation to introduce him to everyone.
In addition to the manager, the design department also has two clerks and an assistant, and then six designers including Lin Xu.
After everyone got to know each other, Han Jingyi took him to his workstation.
"The person next to you is your partner on this project." Han Jingyi pointed to the girl named Teng Qiu next to Lin Xu.
Teng Qiu waved to Lin Xu: "Hi."
"Hi."
"Xiao Qiu, you already know the changes Lin Xu made to the overall design yesterday. I think they're good. Now I'm handing this project over to you. Please give me a complete revision before leaving get off work. I want to show it to the client."
"No problem, Mr. Han." Teng Qiu saluted playfully.
"Okay, then you guys get busy." Han Jingyi went back to the office after giving the instructions.
Teng Qiu pointed to the plan and said to Lin Xu: "Lin Xu, I made some preliminary revisions based on your suggestions yesterday. Take a look here."
