Chapter 456: Ex-girlfriend (3)
Zuo Shichu thought that after telling Sister Hong, Shi Qingsong would have no contact with her anymore, but she didn't expect to receive a call from Shi Qingsong just after getting off work at noon.
She looked at the name on the phone screen and didn't want to answer the call, so she hung up the number and added it to her blacklist.
Then she happily went to the company cafeteria to eat with her colleagues.
The original owner was an ordinary employee in the Human Resources Department. Her work was not very busy and she basically did not have to rush to work overtime. Since she was not a hard-working and ambitious person, she was very satisfied with this job.
Zuo Shichu had no plans to resign. In her previous life, she had worked diligently as an entrepreneur and was busy like a top. It was too tiring. In this life, she just wanted to be a salted fish, do a slow job and earn an ordinary salary. She did not have the original owner's vain problem, so she was content with the status quo and enjoyed the comfort.
After lunch, his colleagues went to the mall next door to go shopping. Zuo Shichu didn’t want to go shopping, so he planned to go back to the office alone to take a nap.
As soon as I returned to the office, I saw a very imposing man standing in the HR manager's office, reading a document in his hand.
When Zuo Shichu saw the strange man, she was very alert and wanted to ask who he was, but when she saw the manager inside, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the man seemed to be someone the manager knew.
So she returned to her workstation with peace of mind and started browsing on her phone.
After browsing his phone for more than ten minutes, Zuo Shichu decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face. As he reached the bathroom door, he saw the man who had been in the manager's office walking out.
Zuo Shichu now saw his face clearly and couldn't help being attracted by his fierce appearance. He was actually very good-looking, but his facial features were too sharp, his eyes seemed to have a sword-like look, his eyebrows were deep, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he looked very tall and intimidating.
This man was definitely not an ordinary man - Zuo Shichu came to this conclusion the first time she saw his appearance. However, no matter how extraordinary he was, it had nothing to do with her, so Zuo Shichu just glanced at him, ignored him, and walked straight into the women's bathroom.
But the man who she judged to be extraordinary couldn't help but look back at her back.
Zuo Shichu returned to her workstation and took a half-hour break. It was almost time to go to work again. Sister Hong ran over from her office, took her to the empty stairwell, and asked her, "Shi Qingsong couldn't get through to you. Why didn't you answer his call? He came to ask me."
"I blocked him. Since I don't want to develop a relationship with him, it's better to cut off contact with him, so that people won't say that I'm keeping him as a backup." Zuo Shichu said bluntly.
After hearing what she said, Sister Hong's eyes were very complicated: "You are quite honest, but you are right. Since you don't plan to develop it, then don't give others hope, so as not to delay them."
Zuo Shichu nodded, agreeing with her words: "Then please explain it to him clearly, or you can introduce other girls to him?"
Sister Hong rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really think I'm a professional matchmaker? I only match you up when I feel like it, but I don't care about other people."
"Yes, yes, I know that Sister Hong treats me the best!" Zuo Shichu said with a smile, hugging her shoulders, "But you don't have to introduce me to a boyfriend in the future. I'd better find one myself. Blind dates are too degrading. They have made me lose more than half of my interest in dating, and my expectations for my future partner have dropped to the lowest point."
Sister Hong said unhappily, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't care about you anymore, so that you won't get anything for your kindness!"
Zuo Shichu quickly coaxed her again. Although Sister Hong was keen on finding a boyfriend for her, she was indeed a colleague who treated her kindly, so she didn't want to ruin the relationship.
Afterwards, probably Sister Hong told Shi Qingsong about Zuo Shichu's true attitude. Shi Qingsong's self-esteem was hurt, and he never looked for her again.
Zuo Shichu thought that the matter was completely over, thinking that even if Shi Qingsong became successful in the future, he couldn't say that he was provoked by his vain ex-girlfriend, right? In this life, Zuo Shichu and him had never been a boyfriend and girlfriend.
The manager asked Zuo Shichu to hand over some documents to the president's office. Zuo Shichu went to the president's office and handed the documents to the president. When he came out, he suddenly felt a little pain in his lower abdomen, so he went to the bathroom on this floor.
"I heard that our president is going to another company, and someone else will take over our company in the future." Two girls walked in and were talking about things in the president's office.
Zuo Shichu pricked up his ears immediately. The current CEO was actually going to be transferred? This was a big deal!
"Who is it? Is it a big shot parachuted in from the headquarters?" another girl asked curiously.
"I don't know. I just heard something vaguely. It seems that the person who will take over is a very powerful person." The girl said mysteriously, "The kind of person who has been through a lot of ups and downs in foreign financial institutions and has come out unscathed."
"Wow!" Another girl was amazed and exclaimed in support, "He must be very young and promising! I wonder if he is married? Is he handsome?" Girls always tend to think of romantic things.
…
Zuo Shichu listened to the gossip for a while and was satisfied. She came out of the bathroom after the two girls performed their magic. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of powerful person would come here out of nowhere.
However, she was only curious for a while and then put the matter behind her. After all, she was just a small employee now, and no matter who the president above her was, it would not get in her way. She just needed to do her job well.
Soon it was time to get off work. As usual, she didn't have to work overtime. Zuo Shichu happily took her bag and walked out of the company gate. But just as she walked out, she heard someone calling her, "Shichu! Zuo Shichu!"
Zuo Shichu heard the voice and looked over, and it turned out to be Shi Qingsong!
She was a little surprised. Could it be that Shi Qingsong hadn't given up on her yet?
Zuo Shichu frowned and walked over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shi Qingsong saw that she was unhappy, so he quickly said, "I came to see you. I want to talk to you. Can we find a quieter place to talk?"
"What do you want to talk about? Let's just say it here." Zuo Shichu said, not wanting to have any more interaction with him.
Shi Qingsong smiled bitterly and compromised: "I want to know why you don't want to be with me. You don't have to use the excuse that you are not worthy of me. I know that you just don't like me, but I want to ask you, am I really that bad? Don't I have any advantages that can attract you?"
Zuo Shichu was heartless and said, "You have many advantages, such as good upbringing, a respectable career, excellent knowledge and outstanding appearance, but these advantages are not what I care about. If you must give a reason, it is that you are not to my liking!"
When Shi Qingsong heard her words and saw that she was serious, it was obvious that she really felt that he was not pleasing to her eye and it was not just an excuse. He became a little discouraged. "Pick-your-eye" is such a subjective word. How could he know what kind of appearance would be pleasing to her eye?
