Chapter 13 Good Night
There was no custom of turning off the lights for lunch breaks in the office. Xu Mo took a nap on the table when she was woken up by the sounds of phone calls all around her.
She looked at the time and it was already 1:40 p.m.
Xu Mo quickly unlocked the computer, and a red dot appeared on the instant messaging software.
Manager Wu: [Please come to my office.]
Manager Wu's office is on the fifteenth floor, one floor higher than Xu Mo's daily office.
Xu Mo went up to find her with the computer in her arms and knocked on the door twice.
Manager Wu's voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
Xu Mo pushed the door open and saw Manager Wu sitting at her desk looking at the computer. She was always rushing from one meeting to another and didn't even have time to set up the computer stand. She was slightly hunched over, looking at the screen with her head down, her fingers tapping on the keyboard.
Xu Mo walked up to her and said, "Manager Wu, are you looking for me?"
Manager Wu finally raised her head and pointed to the chair opposite her: "Sit down."
Xu Mo sat down as she was told. Manager Wu rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and looked at her. He said, "The performance of the kick-off meeting this morning was very good. It exceeded my expectations, and the client was quite satisfied."
I know you just finished your last project and have been working a lot of overtime recently. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Xu Mo answered very officially: "This is what I should do."
Manager Wu said, "We're about to officially start the project. I've met with General Manager Lin. It's the end of the year, and New Year's Day is coming soon. Plus, the Chinese New Year is early this year, and it's three weeks before New Year's Eve. So, if I go to the factory for research during this period, I won't have enough time."
"So during this time, you should do some other work first. Prepare interview outlines and get to know the business more closely with the various centers and departments at headquarters. We'll officially begin our factory research after the new year."
Xu Mo: "Okay."
Manager Wu said, "Also, please pick three people who are familiar with the system. I will assign them to assist you in completing this project."
Hearing that someone could help, Xu Mo's eyes lit up: "Great."
"They have to be available," Manager Wu said. "You can't just pick whoever you want."
It's better to have someone to help than no one to help. Xu Mo nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yeah."
Manager Wu smiled and handed his phone to Xu Mo. "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Starting tomorrow, I need to go on a business trip to meet clients and won't be at the office. Take a look at what everyone wants to have for afternoon tea and use my phone to order. It'll be like celebrating Christmas and New Year's Day in advance."
Xu Mo: o(*￣▽￣*)o
Roasted brown sugar milk/warm/slightly sweet.
After Xu Mo made her selection, she shared the link with the colleagues that Manager Wu had led, and happily went downstairs with her computer.
The group instantly became active, with most people sending groundhog screaming emojis.
[Ahhh why am I always on a business trip when my boss treats me to a meal!]
【It’s numb.】
[Momo, I'm at the office. I'm on the phone with a client. I'll have the order ready soon. Please ask Manager Wu to wait while I close the order!]
Xu Mo: [Okay.]
She sat at her seat waiting for her colleagues to take their orders. When she saw several administrative colleagues decorating the tea room with Christmas materials, she realized that Christmas was really approaching.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the day after tomorrow is Christmas Day.
New Year's Day is next Wednesday.
Just as I was lost in thought, Xu Shiying sent me a message: [Momo, how are you going to celebrate the day after tomorrow?]
Xu Mo: [There's something...I think I should tell you.]
Xu Shiying: [? ]
Xu Mo: [I'm getting married.]
Xu Shiying sent more than a dozen emoticons, and Xu Mo had no time to reply. Her eyes fell on Lin Jingchuan's name.
After she replied to his message at noon, he didn't send any more messages.
He has a gentle temperament, which always makes people feel comfortable. But when you get closer to him, you will find that although his way of dealing with people makes people feel like a spring breeze, there always seems to be something between them.
Sometimes it makes people feel a little alienated.
I don’t know what it will be like after marrying Lin Jingchuan.
I'm always a little nervous.
Xu Mo sighed softly.

After handing over the consulting project to Ou Guoqiang, Lin Jingchuan took half a day off.
During the handover, Ou Guoqiang kept staring at him, as if to say: "Such a good project, you're handing it over to me? Is there some conspiracy?"
Lin Jingchuan simply said, "It was Director Fei's arrangement. Mr. Ou is more suitable than me."
Ou Guoqiang obviously didn't really believe this reason. In the group, he and Lin Jingchuan were in charge of business in different regions and were competitors.
The two had some conflicts over market issues before, and he didn't believe that Lin Jingchuan would be so kind as to give up the project.
Lin Jingchuan said nothing and quickly handed over the task, as if he was busy with something.
After leaving the office, Lin Jingchuan went directly to the mall.
He pushed the shopping cart and patiently walked through each area.
I bought some vitamin gummies in the health product section that girls might like, and then went to the beverage area to buy some milk.
When passing by the pet supplies area, he took out the photos of Dudu he had taken on his mobile phone, and the shopping guide recommended some pet supplies to him.
He stopped for a while in the home clothes area, but ended up taking nothing.
Finally, I went to the food area on the first floor and bought some toast, eggs, vegetables and meat.
Christmas is coming and the supermarket is having a promotion on Christmas apples.
In the past, Lin Jingchuan would not have taken much notice of these big, red fruits.
But this time, he took two boxes.
The peace apple is packaged in a beautiful printed paper box, which is very exquisite.
When checking out, Lin Jingchuan took a look at WeChat.
The last message Xu Mo sent him was: [Good afternoon, going to sleep first, we'll talk after work.]
After this sentence, she did not send any other messages.
Lin Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and stuffed the receipt into the shopping bag.
After finishing the launch meeting, Xu Mo felt a lot more relaxed and left work on time after a long time.
After returning home and making herself a simple bowl of Shin Ramen, Xu Mo collapsed on the sofa and played with her cell phone.
Dudu jumped onto the sofa and rubbed against her arm.
Xu Mo touched its head.
The circle of friends records everyone's life. Zou Kexin, wearing a tight white T-shirt, just finished a night run and smiled at the camera. Xu Shiying just finished playing a game and showed off her results. Manager Wu forwarded the company's latest business dynamics with a struggling expression. Cheng Ming and Wu Siyue showed pictures of themselves working overtime.
Xu Mo liked everyone's comments until she saw a long financial management advertisement.
It’s Liao Haizhou’s circle of friends.
After graduation, Liao Haizhou went to one of the Big Four banks as a management trainee. He is currently a middle-level manager, but he also has performance indicators.
Xu Mo remembered that she had helped him open a personal pension account before.
Xu Mo frowned slightly.
She thought about it, clicked on Liao Haizhou's profile picture, and added him and Zhao Tingyu to the blacklist.
After doing this, she felt relieved.
It was as if a festering wound somewhere in the heart had finally been removed.
Along with the bad memories, they were also deleted.
Xu Mo went to take a shower. When she came out, she found that her phone showed a missed call. She looked at the number and it looked familiar.
Call back.
Lin Jingchuan's voice seemed particularly quiet in the night: "What were you busy with just now?"
"I was just taking a shower." Xu Mo said, "I didn't receive the call."
Lin Jingchuan hummed.
His frugality made Xu Mo inexplicably nervous, and she gripped the phone tightly: "What's the matter with you looking for me?"
"I want to discuss with you the issue of our residence after marriage." Lin Jingchuan said.
Xu Mo: "Hmm..."
She didn't know how to answer: "Do you mean living with me or with you? I think it's OK with either."
Lin Jingchuan: "After marriage, two people have to live together."
“Yes…yes.”
"Come to my house." Lin Jingchuan put the snacks and milk he bought that afternoon into the sideboard. "Pack your luggage tomorrow, and I'll help you move your things over after we get the marriage certificate the day after tomorrow."
Xu Mo pursed her lips. Although she and Lin Jingchuan were not familiar with each other yet, since they were married, they would have to face the issue of living together: "Okay..."
Lin Jingchuan raised the corners of his lips: "Okay, that's it."
"Um……"
"I'll prepare a cat bed for Dudu." Lin Jingchuan placed the cat bed he bought that afternoon in the living room. He looked at it for a while and thought that the kitten might also need an independent space. He added, "You can also arrange a separate room for Dudu."
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the kitten lying beside her legs. She didn't expect Lin Jingchuan to be so considerate.
Xu Mo said: "Okay, thank you."
Lin Jingchuan was silent for a while and said, "Then you should have a good rest. Good night."
Maybe it was because his voice was a little hoarse, but Xu Mo's heart seemed to numb for a moment: "Good night."
