Because he was in a hurry to go to work, Xia Zhichu didn't chat much with Liu Jiajia. The two separated at the company gate and Xia Zhichu entered the lobby.
The security guard greeted her. When Xia Zhichu came to the office, a colleague had already arrived before her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the atmosphere today was different.
In the past, when colleagues came over, they would mock her for a while, but today she was surprisingly quiet.
Xia Zhichu came to her seat and sat down, waiting for her colleagues to arrange her work, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to disturb her, which made her feel more and more wrong.
But she soon remembered what her manager said before leaving get off work yesterday, asking her to focus on design work in the future. Could it be because the manager had instructed everyone?
Thinking of this, Xia Zhichu suddenly developed a favorable impression of the manager.
The morning was very quiet, and everyone was focused on the work at hand. It was not until lunch time that everyone agreed to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
Xia Zhichu was still studying the design concept, so he didn't join everyone.
Furthermore, these colleagues don't like her. She usually doesn't get too close to them except helping them with odd jobs.
Xia Zhichu planned to eat later, but she didn't expect the door of the manager's office to open. Manager Lan came out and said to her, "Xiao Xia, it's time to rest. Go eat."
Xia Zhichu turned around and responded, "Thank you for your concern, manager. I'll go after I finish reading the report."
Manager Lan glanced at her a few times, but when he turned around, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
She turned off the power switch in the office and then left the office.
Xia Zhichu flipped through the information in his hand, and the originally comfortable environment suddenly became more and more stuffy.
When she reacted, she realized that the air conditioner had been turned off.
That's right, everyone has gone out to eat, and it's not right for her to work overtime here alone and waste electricity.
Xia Zhichu decided to go to eat first and read the information when he came back.
Who would have thought that the office door could not be opened.
The access control systems of Peak Group are all sensor-based. If there is a power outage, all equipment will stop working.
Xia Zhichu tried to turn on the light, but it didn't work.
But why did the power go out out of nowhere?
Xia Zhichu went to the electrical box to check the situation. She used to work full-time at home and did the water and electricity herself, so she discovered at a glance that the circuit breaker was tripped, so she turned on the switch and the air conditioner quickly started working again.
After the door opened, she took her work badge and left.
In the staff cafeteria, colleagues sit together and chat.
Lily muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm really not used to not having Xia Zhichu to help me run errands!"
"Yes, she helped us do some things before, which made us feel a lot more relaxed. Now we have to do everything. I was so busy that I couldn't breathe all morning."
"Who would dare to ask her to do something now? She has the support of the president's office. If you don't want to do this anymore, go and mess with her."
"What is Xia Zhichu's background? Isn't she divorced?"
"Who knows, anyway, he's either a relative of Special Assistant Yan or a member of Manager Wang."
Everyone was talking non-stop, and suddenly Lily lowered her voice and said, "Stop talking, she's here."
Xia Zhichu had already packed the food and was walking through the crowd looking for a place.
She saw her colleagues from the design department at first sight and greeted them with a smile, but she did not choose to sit with them. Instead, she went to an empty seat in the corner.
As soon as she sat down, someone came over and asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?"
Xia Zhichu looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Manager Wang, what a coincidence!"
Wang Xiuyan smiled faintly and said, "Yes, you are here so late too."
The two sat face to face, and Wang Xiuyan chatted casually with Xia Zhichu without any managerial airs.
After all, this is the person arranged by the president, and he must be taken care of to a certain extent.
While the two were talking, Wang Xiuyan asked, "By the way, are you still used to working in the design department?"
Xia Zhichu nodded, "It's okay. We've been busy with the quarterly show lately, so everyone's been busy."
She only mentioned the quarterly show and nothing else.
After all, it is the design department's business and it is shameful to talk about it in public.
Furthermore, Wang Xiuyan was the manager, and the difference in status created a distance between the two, making it impossible for them to be honest with each other.
Although Xia Zhichu had never entered the workplace before, he had watched too many idol dramas and more or less knew that superiors and subordinates could not be friends.
After eating and drinking, Wang Xiuyan said to Xia Zhichu, "Work hard. I believe that with your talent, you can stand out in the quarter show."
Colleagues from the design department opposite saw the two talking and laughing, and became more and more curious about Xia Zhichu's identity.
Manager Wang of the recruitment department is notoriously strict in Pinnacle Group and treats talents extremely harshly. In addition, when dealing with people from the president's office, she always has a sense of majesty as a strong woman, which makes people afraid to approach her.
In the entire Pinnacle Group, only a few senior executives are qualified to have working contact with the president.
Manager Wang is one of them.
However, I heard that Manager Wang was transferred back by the president from a foreign company, and because of her superior abilities, she has always been highly valued by the president.
But Xia Zhichu not only has the favor of the President's Office, but also the recognition of Manager Wang. What is the connection between these three?
"What else could it be? As we said before, Xia Zhichu is a relative of Special Assistant Yan. Wang Xiuyan, at Special Assistant Yan's request, let Xia Zhichu join the design department. Anyway, in a nutshell, Xia Zhichu has a strong backing, so don't mess with her from now on."
Everyone nodded, thinking about how to curry favor with Xia Zhichu.
Colleagues from the design department came down for dinner first, so naturally they went back early.
Xia Zhichu chatted with Wang Xiuyan for a while and then went back to work.
As soon as I stepped into the office, my colleagues surrounded me enthusiastically.
"Xiao Xia, this is the milk tea I brought back for you. Try it and see if it tastes good."
"Xiao Xia, are you full for lunch? I have snacks here, do you want to eat?"
"Xiao Xia, if you have any questions about work in the future, you can ask me. I will teach you if I know it."
"Xiao Xia..."
Xia Zhichu was surrounded by the crowd, looking at everyone in confusion.
Why are they trying to curry favor with me for no reason?
Is it because of the dinner she had with Manager Wang?
Xia Zhichu quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, Manager Wang and I just happened to meet. We've only met once before for an interview."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood instantly.
It turns out that he is really Assistant Yan's man, so we can't afford to offend him.
"We are all colleagues. If we have any difficulties, we will help each other. You don't have to be polite, Xiaoxia."
"Yeah yeah."
The colleagues pulled Xia Zhichu back to her seat and sat her down. They put their things on the table one after another and gave her friendly smiles.
Xia Zhichu was still in shock when he saw the snacks and milk tea on the table.
Manager Lan also came back from dinner. Seeing everyone surrounding Xia Zhichu, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
