"This office building is really impressive." Standing at the foot of the office building with flickering lights, Li Zhao looked up and saw only windows after windows with lights shining through them.
"Of course it's magnificent. This is the headquarters office building of a world-renowned company. I heard that those who can work here are all top students from prestigious universities. Even the lady who sweeps the floor is a hidden master." Dake's tone was full of envy. Looking at the glittering golden company sign, his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration: "Your friend is amazing."
"Is this company so high-end?" Li Zhao lived in a small city. After following Zhang Xiaoyuan out, he worked as a stand-in in various major film crews to make money. He knew nothing about these high-end companies.
"You don't know..." Dake whispered in Li Zhao's ear, "Although the stars in the entertainment industry are so glorious, no one dares to mess around in front of the boss of this company. Our company has a female artist named Xu who just won the Best Supporting Actress Award. I don't know if she was crazy. After hearing that the boss of this company was named Xu, she actually bought a press release to imply that she was a distant relative of the Xu family and sold the image of a rich girl. The boss personally came to apologize. A person like our boss was rejected several times in front of Mr. Xu before he was able to meet him."
"So terrible?" Li Zhao was originally happy for Yan Ting, but now he was a little worried. How difficult would life be for the employees following such a boss?
"You don't have to worry about your friend's work environment. This company has quite a few employees at its headquarters alone. And although their boss's style of doing things is weird, he treats his employees very well. The benefits are well-known in the industry. Many people are proud to work for this company," Dake pointed at an employee who was leaving the company, "See? They walk with the wind."
"Oh." Li Zhao looked at the white-collar workers who were coming and going in a hurry: "They seem to be quite energetic." He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yan Ting, telling him that he had arrived downstairs.
Yan Ting quickly replied to his message.
[Yan Ting: Wait for me.] 】
The elevator continued to drop in number of floors. The moment Yan Ting walked out of the elevator, the executives who were originally chatting in low voices in the lobby all fell silent at the same time.
The entire hall became silent at this moment.
Walking through the silent hall, Yan Ting stepped through the door and saw the big boy standing under the street light. He was wrapped in thick clothes, and his hat and scarf covered his entire face tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
The moment he looked over, Yan Ting saw vigorous vitality and smiling eyes in him.
Li Zhao jumped on the spot, waving his hands and wanting to call Yan Ting's name, but was afraid that shouting like this would cause trouble for Yan Ting, so he quickly trotted to Yan Ting and whispered, "Tingting, I'm back."
The corners of Yan Ting's mouth twitched. He didn't know how to respond to such enthusiasm, and he had never experienced someone who disregarded personal gain and simply came to pick him up from get off work.
"Why did you come out in a suit? Where's your coat?" Li Zhao took off his scarf, wrapped it around Yan Ting's neck, and put his arm around his shoulders: "Come on, let's get in my car. The company has provided me with a car, so it will be much more convenient for me to travel in the future."
Li Zhao couldn't wait to share his car with his friends: "Unfortunately, I haven't passed the driving test yet, so I can only trouble my assistant or the driver arranged by the company."
"Sir..." Assistant Qin ran out holding his coat. He saw Li Zhao, glanced at Li Zhao's hand on Yan Ting's shoulder, smiled and took a step back: "Hello."
"Hello." Li Zhao raised his hat, which was pulled down very low, to show respect.
Noticing Li Zhao's action, Assistant Qin smiled and handed the coat in his hand to Yan Ting: "You left in a hurry just now and forgot to take your coat."
Yan Ting touched the scarf around his neck and prepared to take it off and return it to Li Zhao.
"Don't move." Li Zhao looked at Yan Ting's pale face and stopped him: "I'm so angry that I can't be frozen. You should wrap yourself up and put on your coat quickly."
Nagging Yan Ting to put on his coat, Li Zhao sighed, "You really don't know how to take care of yourself. Fortunately, a colleague helped you take off your clothes." He turned his head and smiled broadly at Assistant Qin: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's my duty." Assistant Qin saw Li Zhao helping Yan Ting to straighten his coat naturally. He put his arm around Yan Ting's neck again, looking like a good brother. He turned his head and looked at Yan Ting: "Then I'll go back to work first."
Yan Ting nodded.
"It's so late, let's go have a midnight snack together. I'll treat you." Li Zhao was worried that Yan Ting's attitude was too cold and would affect the relationship between colleagues, so he quickly said, "It will be more fun with more people."
Yan Ting raised his eyes and looked at Assistant Qin.
"Thank you, but I still have some work to do." Assistant Qin stared at Li Zhao for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "You look familiar..."
"Maybe it's because I have a common face." Li Zhao laughed dryly and took out a bag of earthenware from his bag and gave it to Assistant Qin: "Since you don't have time, let's get together next time we have the chance. Yan Ting is a bit dull, but he is a very good person. Please take care of him at work in the future."
Holding the earthenware gift from Li Zhao, Assistant Qin smiled and nodded: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yan is very capable at work, and all colleagues in our department admire him very much."
The smile on Li Zhao's face suddenly became brighter, like an old father hearing that his child got full marks in the exam.
"Zhao Zhao." Dake, who had driven the car out of the parking lot, stuck his head out of the car window and said, "Hurry up and get in the car. You can only park temporarily here, otherwise you will be deducted points."
"I'll be there right away." Li Zhao said goodbye to Assistant Qin, and trotted Yan Ting to the car. Then Yan Ting saw a large box full of local gifts.
"I wanted to give each of your colleagues a bag of earthenware." Li Zhao put the bag on the ground and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "But your company is so good, and the employees are all top students. Giving these things will not only not help you build harmonious relationships, but may make your colleagues look down on you. So I didn't feel comfortable giving them all to your colleague and asked him to take them to the office to divide them."
In Li Zhao's imagination, senior white-collar workers use all kinds of famous brands, and even the food they eat is exquisite and sophisticated. The things he bought are too rustic.
Bending down and picking up the large plastic bag filled with earthenware, Yan Ting placed it at his feet: "I'll send it to them tomorrow. They'll like it."
Li Zhao shook his head: "You have only been working for a few days. You can't let other colleagues look down on you. The intrigue in the office is so terrible. I am afraid that you will suffer."
Dake, who was driving in front, listened to Li Zhao babble about a lot of office precautions and couldn't help but tease him, "Zhao Zhao, you think too much."
"How can I not think more about it?" Yan Ting has no other relatives or friends around him. If even I don't think more about him, even if he is wronged in the company, no one will share his burden.
Yan Ting turned his head and looked at Li Zhao quietly. Li Zhao smiled at him and left his shadow in Yan Ting's pupils.
Li Zhao then remembered that he was so busy worrying about Yan Ting's work that he forgot to introduce Dake to him: "Tingting, this is Dake. The company arranged for him to be my assistant. He is very considerate and takes good care of me. Dake, this is Yan Ting, my good buddy."
Dake could see in the rearview mirror that Li Zhao's friend looked up at him. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Yan Ting looked at him with deep eyes, as if he could see through him at a glance.
To describe it in a more exaggerated way, in the eyes of Li Zhao's good friend, there is the aura of a legendary big boss. Sure enough, the rumors outside were not exaggerated. Those who could enter the company’s headquarters were all big shots.
The three of them had dinner together. Dake originally planned to send Yan Ting and Li Zhao back, but he didn't expect Yan Ting to arrange a driver to come.
Looking at the car logo that represented a high price, Dake found an opportunity to pull Li Zhao aside and asked quietly: "Zhao Zhao, your friend just started working, why did he buy such an expensive car?"
All kinds of melodramatic stories had already come up in his mind, and he even became wary of Yan Ting.
"His family is being relocated and they have two houses."
Dake: "So he is the rich friend you mentioned on the show..."
My vigilance disappeared in an instant, and what arose spontaneously was an overwhelming feeling of admiration and envy. He insisted on going to work even though he had two houses at home. What kind of spirit is this? It is the fearless spirit of devoting all his efforts to social construction!
If he could own two houses, he would definitely do nothing, eat, drink and have fun every day, living a life of indulgence and lack of ambition.
"Zhao Zhao, get in the car." Yan Ting stood beside the car with Li Zhao's scarf still around his neck. He stood in the shadow of the street lamp, and Li Zhao couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Here we are." Li Zhao waved to Dake and walked to Yan Ting: "Let's go."
"Wait." Yan Ting walked to Dake's car door, bent down, took Tu Yi out of the car, and put it in his own car.
The car was driving through the cold streets. Li Zhao sat in the warm car, eating a bag of beef jerky with relish.
"Zhao Zhao." Yan Ting folded up Li Zhao's coat, which had been casually placed on the car seat, and asked, "Have you chosen a new place to live?"
"Not yet, the company is still arranging it."
The car was quiet for a moment. Yan Ting unscrewed the lid of the thermos and handed the water to Li Zhao: "Stay with me for a while. There is an empty room next to my house. I have been living alone all these years. I don't know what it's like to have someone by my side."
"Then, I'll move in for a while." Seeing Yan Ting like this, Li Zhao's heart softened instantly: "It just so happens that I'm free these two days, I'll move in tomorrow, the rent..."
"No rent." Yan Ting looked at Li Zhao: "Zhao Zhao, I have never made any friends, and I don't know how to get along with friends. All I have are those cold and empty houses."
"I was wrong." Li Zhao felt extremely guilty. He actually used stinky money to taint this pure friendship. It was really abominable.
"Yes." Yan Ting imitated Li Zhao and slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Li Zhao's shoulder: "I forgive you."
"I'll bring some people over tomorrow to help you move." The shoulder under his palm felt warm and hot, and he was reluctant to withdraw his hand.
The author has something to say: Tingting: I have a house.
Zhao Zhao: Cheers to our pure friendship []~(￣▽￣)~*
