The alarm clock rang, and another peaceful night passed.
Ruan Mian struggled to move the table blocking the doorway away, rubbed his red fingertips, and yawned with his lips slightly parted.
A thin layer of mist appeared in my eyes. I was so sleepy. I had to go to work again without getting enough sleep.
She used 35 points to redeem a three-square-meter space, which was already filled with most of the necessary first aid items, food, mineral water, etc.
At least I feel a little more secure, but there is only five dollars left in the card.
The breakfast shop is still bustling with people, the lively atmosphere of fireworks lingers throughout the city, and the rising sun shines on my face, which is very warm.
On the subway, the news was reporting that there have been several new cases of rabies recently, reminding citizens to wear masks and reduce going out.
No one cared about this news, as they all thought it was just an exaggeration to attract traffic.
After drinking the soy milk, Ruan Mian sat at his workstation and turned on the computer.
I turned my head and found that Sister Wang next to me was wearing a black hooded coat that even covered her hair tightly.
The weather forecast advises us to take precautions against heatstroke and keep the temperature down.
The girl was only wearing a simple T-shirt and ice silk shorts that covered her knees, revealing her delicate and smooth skin.
"Sister Wang, are you sick?"
She asked out of concern, but the other person didn't turn around.
"No."
However, Sister Wang's voice sounded particularly hoarse and rough, as if it was forced out from a hollow throat. She must have a cold.
The girl put a box of throat lozenges on the table.
"You can try this one, it's quite effective, the mint flavor is very refreshing."
The other party just lay down without saying anything, probably because he was too tired and needed to rest.
Ruan Mian didn't bother him anymore and continued working.
"Good morning, Manager Hu."
The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the tiles was very loud and noisy, getting closer and closer and stopping next to the girl who was awkwardly typing on the keyboard.
The simple and cheap T-shirt she wore made her exposed arms look blindingly white.
The neckline is relatively large, and when looking down from above you can catch a glimpse of the girl's delicate and beautiful collarbone.
She looked up in confusion at Manager Hu, who never appeared in their office.
Under the other person's grafted long black eyelashes were a pair of eyes full of anger. Her red lips moved and her demeanor was arrogant.
"Where is the bag Secretary Tang gave you yesterday?"
The tone was completely one of accusation, without any warmth at all.
Ruan Mian was stunned by her raised voice, and his nose felt sore.
"I left it in Manager Zhao's office. Go get it now."
Many colleagues who were watching the fun gathered outside, and the girl handed over the white bag on the table.
Manager Hu did not turn around and leave, but sat on the sofa and opened the book to look for something.
"Hey, where's that lipstick Yanyan specifically asked for? It just arrived last week."
The crowd outside the door was talking about it, "Could it be that this poor girl stole it?"
Another retorted, "I don't think she's that kind of person. It must be a misunderstanding."
All the eyes, mixed with suspicion and curiosity, were cast on the girl.
The girl could not escape the many malicious attacks from those around her.
There was a faint crimson tint at the corners of her eyes, and her body was delicate and slender, so one would not suspect that she was a thief.
Manager Hu leaned on the sofa with her legs crossed, and her bag was casually thrown beside her.
The high heels on her feet swayed with her movements.
"Do you know how expensive that lipstick is? You can't even afford five years' salary to pay for it!"
"I really didn't steal..."
Ruan Mian's voice was suppressed by the other party again.
"You can't bear to hand it over, right? HR, go and handle her resignation procedures."
This was the first time the girl met Manager Hu. She never expected to be accused of stealing and was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
There was also a colleague who wanted to speak up for her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Manager Hu pointed at his nose and said something.
"Anyone who wants to help this thief, get out of the company!"
I was suddenly speechless.
The girl didn't even know what her lost lipstick looked like and felt helpless after being scolded.
In just a short while, all her belongings were packed into cartons.
Manager Hu frowned and waved his hand in disdain.
"Go away quickly, and don't let me see you again."
Ruan Mian bent down holding the box and saw Manager Zhao coming.
The clothes he wore were very similar to Sister Wang's, both of them covered their heads tightly. He also wore a mask and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Mianmian, I can vouch for you that I didn't steal any lipstick."
He had been with the girl yesterday, so of course he could prove it.
But Manager Hu didn't buy it and still maintained his condescending attitude.
"What? Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you've climbed up the social ladder?"
Even though there are witnesses, she still insists on being aggressive.
"What are you arguing about?"
Tang Yanyan came in gracefully, her delicate face full of confusion.
Manager Hu was the first to complain, saying so calmly.
"Yanyan, she stole your favorite lipstick."
No one saw the murderous intent in Manager Zhao's all-white eyes hidden under his hat.
Such a well-behaved Mianmian was actually slandered by them like this. The nails he hid in his sleeves grew a few inches longer.
Ruan Mian repeated in a soft voice that he was not a thief.
After all, Tang Yanyan is the heroine, and the pattern is grand.
She lifted her long hair that fell beside her ear, patted her friend's shoulder, and said softly, "Maybe I lost it myself. It has nothing to do with Ruan Mian. You can go now."
The others whispered, "Secretary Tang is so kind! It's such an expensive lipstick, but she said she won't pursue it."
"That's right, no wonder she is rich and beautiful."
After hearing these words, Manager Hu forcefully grabbed the girl who was about to leave.
She used so much force that a circle of red instantly appeared on her smooth wrist.
"Yan Yan, you can't always feel sorry for these people and allow them to steal things! You must give an explanation today. Hand over your lipstick or get out of the company. It's your choice."
Ruan Mian looked at the heroine for help. She was stunned for a moment, then gave her a kind smile and told her not to worry.
"This matter ends here. We're all colleagues, so let's not make things awkward. I ordered milk tea for you all, go get it."
The girl couldn't help but think that Tang Yanyan was really beautiful and kind-hearted.
Manager Hu obediently shook off Ruan Mian's hand and gave her a vicious look.
When passing by Manager Zhao, he pushed his shoulder away with force.
"Don't block the way, Yanyan, let's go."
Ruan Mian smelled a faint fishy odor coming from somewhere. She covered her nose with her hands and had a bad feeling.
“Wooah!”
Just when everyone was drinking milk tea, Manager Hu let out a painful scream, which was extremely creepy.
The woman's arm was torn off and thrown to the ground, and the blood splattered on the white wall.
It was the one she had just pulled Ruan Mian away.
Manager Zhao lifted up his clothes, and the blue veins on his neck turned a terrifying purple.
His eyeballs were bulging outwards and almost falling out, and his skin was ulcerated and discolored.
