Chapter 6 Room
She decided not to call and just run around to see if she could find the customer service office on her own.
She knocked on almost all the offices on this floor, but no one answered. This floor seemed like an empty city or a maze. She turned around and around like a ghost hitting a wall. In the end, even the elevator exit disappeared, and she felt like she was trapped on this floor.
The hands on the watch were now pointing to 7:56. There was nothing I could do. I had to admit that I had a poor sense of direction. I couldn't help being called useless, but I couldn't afford to lose money. Twenty yuan would be deducted for each late arrival, and my attendance bonus would be wasted.
At this moment, she seemed to hear some strange noises coming from the room in the other corner, and she walked over as if she heard her savior coming.
The house in the corner was very special and gave Jun Lan a strange feeling. However, driven by curiosity, she cautiously approached, knocked on the door and asked, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
But no one responded. She turned the doorknob casually, and unexpectedly the door was opened. Although she knew that she should not enter other people's rooms without permission, for some reason, Jun Lan walked in.
This room is indeed very strange. It is neither like an ordinary office or conference room nor like a residence. There is a large round table in the middle, and some strange oil paintings are hung all around the room, such as bull heads, overly realistic portraits, and some strange abstract paintings.
Jun Lan was so engrossed in the painting that she suddenly became intrigued by a portrait of a Jiangnan woman from the 1930s next to the window. The woman in the painting seemed like someone she had seen in both her dreams and reality. For a moment, Jun Lan couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the woman in the painting.
"Don't touch them. These are antique paintings. If you damage them, you can't afford to pay for it."
The sudden sound really scared Jun Lan. She quickly took two steps back and turned around. She saw a man about 185cm tall wearing an Armani suit standing in front of the door, looking at her quietly.
Junlan: "When did you come in?"
"I should be the one asking you this. You must be new here, right? Is the customer service department free today? Don't you have any work to do? Didn't your supervisor tell you that room 666 doesn't need cleaning? Aren't you people allowed to come in casually?"
"Oh no, I'm going to be late." Jun Lan almost cried.
"I really don't understand what you just said. Excuse me, do you know where the customer service office is? I can't find it no matter how hard I try."
"The customer service office is on the tenth floor, and this is the sixth. You've gone to the wrong floor, there's no way you'll find it."
Jun Lan hated herself for being so reckless. She made such a big mistake just because she walked out of the elevator without seeing the floor clearly.
She could only hesitantly say, "I'm sorry, I didn't see clearly and barged in here without permission. It wasn't intentional. I had to rush to work."
She hurried out of the room, and before leaving she took a special look at the other person. He had a faint smell of cigars, and his facial features were as clear-cut as if they were carved. Jun Lan especially liked his straight nose, which was clearly a feast for the eyes. The mature and capable temperament he exuded had more charm than the young handsome guys nowadays, but he was too serious and rigid.
The other person also noticed Jun Lan's gaze on him. He glared at Jun Lan, causing her to get goose bumps all over her body and feel a chill. It was also with this glare that Jun Lan discovered that his two eyes were of different colors, one light blue and the other light green. Jun Lan had never seen such beautiful heterochromatic eyes.
But she didn't have time to think too much at this moment. She just wanted to hurry back to the customer service office on the tenth floor for a meeting.
Maybe Junlan's Mercury was in retrograde recently, she was really unlucky, and the more anxious she was, the more trouble she encountered. At the elevator door, she bumped into a fashionable beauty, knocking her Chanel handbag away and spilling her makeup all over the floor. Junlan didn't bother to help her pick it up, and could only apologize repeatedly as she walked away: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The beautiful woman didn't show any anger on her face. She simply bent down and picked up the scattered items. She said with disdain, "You better watch out when you walk next time. If you bump into me, it's fine. But if you bump into someone else, it won't be so easy."
Jun Lan didn't hear what she said next at all. She just wanted to rush back to the customer service department on the tenth floor.
When she arrived at the tenth floor, it was already 8:15 and the morning meeting was almost over.
A group of people looked at Jun Lan who was gasping for breath and rushing over, whispering to each other.
"Oh! So she's the newcomer! She's quite the celebrity, showing up late on the first day."
"You can tell from his appearance that he is the type who cannot do rough work."
"That's right, she's already late, what else is she afraid of? What kind of person is she?"
"Ahem, if you have anything to say, please wait until I finish speaking or after get off work. I'm still in a meeting!" As soon as the foreman Li Yu gave the order, everyone fell silent again.
Li Yu continued, "A few days ago, the front desk received a complaint from a guest about a strange smell and noise. When you're making your rounds, please pay close attention to your surroundings and report anything that's amiss immediately. Okay, that's all I have to report today. Pick up the room cards and report cards on the counter according to your names!"
With a "swish" sound, everyone started chattering and went about their business. After everyone left, Jun Lan came to Li Yu like a child who had done something wrong, and as expected, she was severely scolded by her.
"Are you kidding me? You're late on your first day. I thought you were new and might have taken the wrong route and missed the deadline, but how lucky are you? There are so many rooms, but you chose to walk into the boss's room 666. He just called and scolded me for failing to discipline me and fined me 200 yuan."
Jun Lan: "That was the big boss just now"
Li Yu: "You're overthinking it. That was the big boss's assistant, Situ Andy. If you'd run into the big boss, you would have been fired long ago. You're quite talented. I told you to go to the tenth floor, but you ended up on the sixth. The sixth floor is full of weirdos, and you often disappear. We wouldn't dare go there without notice."
Jun Lan knew she was in the wrong and couldn't say anything more. Li Yu saw that she had been taught a lesson. He looked at the report in his hand, frowned and said, "There are a lot of rooms today, so everyone may have to work harder. You should go to the 25th floor with Ji Zhen! She's an experienced person, and she has the most rooms allocated to her today."
Junlan nodded and took the elevator to the 25th floor.
