Chapter 116 He is a treasure of the world
Xia Zhen hesitated for a moment, "But..."
"No buts!" the security guard said honestly. "We were taught during employee training that we must be helpful. If you don't come in and sit for a while, and my boss finds out how careless I am, I'll definitely get a scolding!"
Xia Zhen thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Okay."
The enthusiastic security guard led Xia Zhen through the company gate and directly to the reception desk.
The security guard said, "This girl looks so hot, quickly pour her a glass of water."
The receptionist quickly glanced down at her phone, then looked up with a professional smile. "I'm so sorry, we've run out of water here, and the logistics team hasn't had time to refill it yet."
The security guard exclaimed dramatically, "What? How can the guests not even be allowed to drink water!"
The receptionist thought hard for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, "Currently, the only place with water is the office on the 20th floor."
Xia Zhen silently raised her head and glanced at the ceiling of the company. If she remembered correctly, the building she saw before she walked in had dozens of floors, and only one office had water to drink.
Xia Zhen smiled and said, "Well... actually, it's okay if I don't drink water."
The receptionist and the security guard exchanged a glance; how could she not drink water!
The receptionist's eyes lit up. She took out a pen. "I was thinking of returning this pen to someone when you went to the twentieth floor. He lost it when he came to the company today, and he's easy to recognize because he's a young man with white hair..."
Xia Zhen snatched the pen. "Where's the elevator?! I want water! I need to go to the twentieth floor!"
The security guard quickly said, "Come, come, follow me, the elevator is over here."
Xia Zhen couldn't wait to walk in that direction.
The security guard quietly turned around and gave the receptionist a thumbs up.
The receptionist tossed her long hair, concealing her true abilities and achievements.
Lu Jin was standing next to the printer, checking the printed documents, ignoring the stares of several people not far away.
Because Lu Jin was too serious, he didn't communicate much with people except for work-related matters, and he never joked with anyone. Even if the beautiful women in the office who were popular with him deliberately teased him, he would pretend not to hear it.
It's really easy to arouse other people's curiosity: does this person have no emotions?
No one knows what the whispering group said, but the last woman walked out.
Just as she was about to say something, the water deliveryman arrived.
Normally, it's the men who rush to do these things, but today she had a sudden inspiration and went up first, saying, "I'll carry it."
The men's gazes were somewhat strange.
The woman struggled to carry the bucket of water. When she passed Lu Jin, she was too weak and deliberately let out a muffled groan before putting the bucket down on the ground.
She rubbed her aching hands for a while, but didn't even get a glance from the boy.
There are still so many eyes watching from over there.
The woman had no choice but to speak in a coquettish voice, "Lu Jin, can you help me? I can't lift it anymore."
Lu Jin looked at her.
The woman raised her red lips and smiled beautifully, "Please."
"You're the one who insists on doing things you can't do yourself."
Therefore, he has no need to help her.
A few colleagues were laughing, covering their mouths.
The woman's eyebrow twitched, and she forced a smile again. "I overestimated myself. I won't do it again next time. Please help me out this time."
Others chimed in, "Yeah, Lu Jin, you're a boy, help him out!"
Perhaps feeling that it was wrong to "stand by and watch someone die," Lu Jin finally took action. He bent down and lifted the bucket of water.
The woman smiled broadly, looked at her former colleagues, and mouthed, "I won the bet."
However, not long after, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders, and her body seemed to shrink a bit.
The woman subconsciously raised her hand to steady the bucket of water on her shoulder, staring blankly at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin had already withdrawn his hand. "This saves effort, no need to thank me."
He looked away and handed the printed document to the team leader.
The team leader cast an admiring glance at Lu Jin.
The woman looked completely bewildered.
The others could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
The woman glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.
Two male colleagues came to her rescue and carried the bucket away for her.
Someone whispered, "I told you so, this guy has no mercy for women."
The woman returned to her workstation, muttering resentfully, "I think it's just a kid who hasn't figured things out yet."
It's really thanks to Lu Jin's presence that this group of people can have a lot of fun when they're not busy.
Lu Jin returned to his seat, and as soon as he sat down, he keenly sensed a deep gaze watching him.
At the entrance.
A girl with disheveled hair was squatting there, her hands gripping the door frame, only half of her face peeking out.
It's unclear how long she's been watching, but her dark eyes are filled with intense resentment. Because she's been standing outside for so long, her bangs are slightly damp with sweat, and a few strands of hair are sticking haphazardly to her fair face.
If someone with a weak heart saw her, they would probably scream, "A ghost!"
Several women in the office rubbed their arms.
Someone asked, "Don't you feel a bit cold? Is the air conditioning set too low?"
Lu Jin confirmed that this was not his hallucination.
For some reason, he found it somewhat amusing. He left his seat and walked out, taking the girl's hand as he passed the door and pulling her to stand in the corridor.
But before she could take two steps, her legs gave way, and he hurriedly caught her. "What's wrong?"
The girl who was like Sadako just a moment ago is now acting like a spoiled little sweetheart. She purses her lips and says pitifully, "My legs are numb."
Lu Jin couldn't help but chuckle softly as he picked her up in his arms.
A princess carry completely dispelled the resentment in Xia Zhen's eyes. Her eyes curved into crescents, and when she looked at him, her beautiful eyes sparkled.
Lu Jin couldn't control himself. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of the girl's lips. "I'll take you to rest."
In this building, each floor has a spacious lounge with warm colors, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
However, it's not break time now, so there's no one else here.
Lu Jin placed Xia Zhen on the sofa chair and sat next to her, placing her legs on his lap to make her feel more comfortable.
Then, he took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket, something he had made a habit of carrying around ever since he got together with her.
He took out a wet wipe and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, his voice still tinged with amusement, "Did you come to see me?"
"I found a super delicious chocolate and wanted to share it with you, so I came to find you!"
"What about the chocolate?"
"I forgot to bring it, but I'll remember next time."
Lu Jin wanted to kiss her again, but she raised her hand to cover her mouth. "Lu Jin, I'm sweating, don't kiss me."
He abruptly removed her hand and, unusually forcefully, kissed her. After a brief kiss, he pulled the girl into his arms, gazing tenderly and earnestly at her face. "Zhenzhen is a fairy. Fairies don't sweat; they're dew, right?"
Xia Zhen was unusually embarrassed. She wanted to say that he sounded like he was coaxing a child, but she loved hearing it!
Seeing that her eyes and eyebrows were curved in a smile, he knew she was in a good mood, so he asked, "What is the reason you came to see me today?"
Xia Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm worried someone will steal you away."
Lu Jin's chest suddenly felt incredibly hot.
To be honest, apart from being different from ordinary people, his appearance was not outstanding. He had seen Song Heng, and that boy had the kind of looks that girls would like.
His personality wasn't exactly great either; in other people's words, he was aloof and difficult to get along with.
But only she cherished him as a rare treasure at all times.
It's as if he's the best person in the world.
