The next day, Li Wan met Yuan Yang again in the elevator of the apartment.
She didn't seem to mind his cold attitude in the past few times, and still greeted him with a smile: "Good morning."
Yuan Yang just nodded coldly, walked in from the elevator, pressed the button for the basement floor, and then stood at the innermost part of the elevator as usual.
The elevator went down. It was the morning rush hour, and the elevator kept opening and closing, with more and more people getting in.
Li Wan had to step back, and finally retreated to Yuan Yang's side.
The elevator stopped again. The elevator was already full of people. Someone squeezed over from the right, so Li Wan had to move to the left.
Inevitably touched Yuan Yang's arm.
"Sorry." In the corner of the elevator, Li Wan whispered his apology.
Yuan Yang didn't say anything.
A faint fragrance drifted over.
The fragrance was not strong, on the contrary it was light and thin, and smelled good, but it had an aggressive quality that made him inexplicably upset.
Yuan Yang frowned in annoyance and glanced at the person next to him with some impatience, but after this glance, he couldn't take his eyes off.
She was wearing the front desk uniform of Huanxing, with her long black hair tied behind her head, revealing half of her slender white neck, and a smooth and soft jawline and exquisite and beautiful profile. She stood quietly, slightly raised her face to look at the elevator floor above, and her expression did not show any impatience or anxiety due to the terrible environment. In this enclosed space full of anxiety, she exuded an atmosphere of tranquility.
Arrived at the first floor.
People filed out.
Li Wan turned to Yuan Yang and said, "See you at the company."
Yuan Yang's Adam's apple moved slightly, but before he could respond, Li Wan had already walked out with the crowd.
An inexplicable feeling of loss made Yuan Yang frown.
When he drove past the bus stop, he could still see Li Wan standing in the crowd waiting for the bus. She was indeed very beautiful, but what made him see her at first sight in the crowd was the calm temperament she exuded. She seemed to be detached from this crowded and busy world. The people around her were looking around or looking at their phones, but she lazily put her hands behind her back, just standing there quietly, letting the thin morning light spread on her face. He inexplicably felt that she was enjoying this morning comfortably.
Li Wan was indeed enjoying this morning. The slight warmth from the sunlight on her face made her want to smile.
It’s great to be alive.
So much so that when she struggled to squeeze onto the bus, she could feel the joy that she had not experienced for a long time.
......
In a blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Li Wan was not "summoned" by Li Zelin again.
She had many opportunities to go to the top floor. All documents delivered to the front desk needed to be distributed by the front desk. She took the initiative to take on this difficult task, but every time she delivered documents to the top floor, she couldn't even see Li Zelin.
Except for Li Zelin coming to and leaving the company.
But Li Zelin always walked past her without even looking at her, as if she didn't exist.
Li Wan couldn't find any other opportunity for a while.
...
The president’s office on the top floor of the Star Building.
Wu Lin put down her coffee and prepared to leave.
Li Zelin suddenly asked, "How is she doing recently?"
Wu Lin turned around and saw Li Zelin picked up the coffee and took a sip, his eyes still on the report. It seemed that he suddenly remembered and asked a question.
Wu Lin knew who Li Zelin was talking about, so she smiled and replied, "Wanwan has been working very hard recently and completed the handover very quickly. She also finished all the work that had been piled up at the front desk. She is also well-received by her colleagues and everyone likes her very much."
Hearing this, Li Zelin finally reacted and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Everyone likes her?
It is really surprising that this evaluation would be given to Li Wan.
Apart from being liked by his parents who were blinded by family affection, his sister does not have a good reputation in the outside world.
As far as he knew, she hadn't changed much in the four years she studied abroad. Could it be that she had been reborn in these three months?
Li Zelin never thought that Li Wan was pretending.
Although he was not close to his sister, he had watched her grow up since she was a child, and her every move was under his control. If she really knew how to pretend, it would not have come to this.
If she had really been reborn in these three months, he would have to look at this little sister who had called him "big brother" for more than 20 years with new eyes.
Seeing the thoughtful expression on Li Zelin's face, Wu Lin continued, "Really, Mr. Li, Wanwan is very popular now." She couldn't help but smile and said, "Especially the boys in the company..."
At this point, she saw the indifferent expression on Li Zelin's face and knew that he was not interested in this topic, so she tactfully ended the topic.
...
When Li Zelin left the company in the afternoon, he somehow remembered Wu Lin's words and couldn't help but glance at the front desk.
Li Wan has been spoiled since childhood. She grew up like a star. She has always been arrogant and could not learn to speak properly. Except for her family members, she is always arrogant and domineering to everyone outside.
At this time, she was standing at the front desk, holding something in her hand. She had a smile on her face and her eyes were curved. She was talking softly to the male employee standing at the front desk. She looked approachable and refreshing.
As she was speaking, she suddenly looked over with smiling eyes, and her gaze met his.
Before Li Zelin had time to look away, she had already turned away, smiled at the male employee, said something, and put the things in her hand back to the front desk.
Li Zelin withdrew his gaze indifferently and walked straight out.
"Mr. Li is so handsome." Chen Shuyuan, the receptionist next to him, suddenly exclaimed, following Li Zelin's back with her eyes. She had short hair, a cute look, and two big eyes that blinked with little pink hearts.
Li Wan also looked over and saw that Li Zelin and his group had already walked out of the gate. Well, they were indeed handsome, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. Just his back view was enough to charm everyone. She suddenly smiled.
"Li Wan, what are you laughing at?" Chen Shuyuan blinked and came closer: "Do you like our President Li too?"
Li Wan just smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, Li Wan, are you Mr. Li's relative?" Chen Shuyuan asked curiously, "Many people say so."
Li Wan said casually: "Yes, he is my eldest brother."
Chen Shuyuan opened his mouth wide, stayed still for two seconds, blinked, and suddenly tutted: "Tut! If you are really Mr. Li's sister, you will be arranged to be a receptionist?"
Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Start from the grassroots."
Chen Shuyuan snorted twice, obviously not believing it: "I don't believe it. Besides, you two don't look alike at all."
Li Wan just smiled and didn't continue the topic.
After a short silence, Chen Shuyuan suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right! Did you know that the company is having a dinner party for new employees tomorrow?"
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then he thought that the opportunity seemed to have come.
.....
Huanxing holds various gatherings every month, one of the regular ones is the monthly gathering for new employees.
We booked a Korean barbecue restaurant for this dinner.
Li Wan simply dressed up and went out.
When Li Wan walked into the barbecue restaurant.
The sharp-eyed Chen Shuyuan immediately shouted, "Oh my God! Li Wan, you look so good today!"
Knowing that Li Wan would come today, the number of participants in the new employee dinner, which usually only had about 20 people, doubled today, and naturally most of them were men.
When Chen Shuyuan shouted like this, everyone's attention was immediately focused on Li Wan who walked in from the door.
Li Wan had no other clothes to wear, so she put on the floral long skirt, the neckline revealing her slender and delicate collarbone and slender white neck. Her arms were free of fat, and her skin was fair and smooth. The waist-hugging design outlined her slender waistline. The light skirt covered her calves, revealing her slender ankles. Her long black hair was braided into a fluffy side braid that hung on one side, and the end was tied into a bow with a polka-dot silk scarf. When she walked over slowly, all the men present were stunned with amazement.
"Sorry, I'm late." Li Wan said with an apologetic smile on his face, walking over embarrassedly.
"No, no, it's not time yet!"
The male colleagues all spoke out to help, looking at Li Wan expectantly, hoping that she could sit at their table.
"Li Wan, come here quickly! I've saved a seat for you!" Chen Shuyuan shouted at her.
Amidst many disappointed gazes, Li Wan sat down next to Chen Shuyuan, and then found Yuan Yang sitting right opposite her.
In fact, he had only started working a week earlier than she had.
The two lived in the same building and worked in the same company, so they had many opportunities to meet each other throughout the day.
She adheres to the principle of being polite, so no matter how cold the other person's attitude is, she always greets them with a smile.
After so many times, he probably felt embarrassed to always be cold to her, so this morning he spoke a few words to her for the first time.
"Li Wan, what brand is this skirt of yours? It's so beautiful! Is it very expensive?" Chen Shuyuan asked in surprise.
Li Wan smiled and said, "It's a small brand, it's on sale, not expensive."
A female colleague smiled and continued, "Li Wan said it's not expensive, so it must be at least one or two thousand, right?"
Everyone knows that Li Wan has a background of studying abroad. Coupled with Li Wan's image and temperament, it seems that her family is not short of money. However, she has been too low-key recently. She even takes the bus to and from get off work. She speaks to people without airs and greets everyone with a smile. She also does her job so well that no one can find any fault with her. She really doesn't look like the rich second generation that everyone knows.
At the beginning, there was a rumor in the company that Li Wan was the boss's relative, but after a week of getting along and observing each other, this idea was dispelled.
There was a hint of temptation in her words.
Li Wan smiled and said, "Not that much." As for the exact amount, she didn't say.
Before the female colleague could ask further questions, other colleagues changed the subject.
Yuan Yang took a sip of soju, lowered his eyes, and became a little distracted.
He had seen her wearing this skirt the evening before yesterday.
He went up to the rooftop to hang out clothes and saw her.
She stood with her back to him at the railing of the rooftop, one hand lazily resting on the railing, the other hand supporting her cheek, admiring the sunset in the sky. The evening breeze blew her long black hair, which lightly brushed across her cheek and was casually tucked behind her ears. She was wearing this skirt at the time, like a flower blooming in summer, exuding vigorous vitality.
Wait until he comes to his senses.
Li Wan had already drunk more than half a bottle of liquor. She held the glass and drank it down with her tucked back. Her snow-white cheeks were lightly pink, and her lips were stained with liquor like rose petals covered with dew. She spoke little, and her peach blossom eyes were slightly curved with a smile, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
"Li Wan, drink less. This alcohol has a strong aftereffect." A colleague kindly reminded.
Li Wan smiled and nodded in agreement, but not long after, the bottle of liquor in her hand was empty without her noticing.
Yuan Yang frowned.
All the unmarried male colleagues present wanted to show off in front of Li Wan, and the atmosphere of the dinner was particularly warm.
The unmarried female colleagues focused their attention on Yuan Yang. He was wearing a light-colored plaid shirt today. He was tall, good-looking, and had a refreshing and clean temperament. He stood out among the male colleagues, but he was not like Li Wan who smiled and greeted people. He was usually introverted and didn't talk much in the company. He was the same when he went out for dinner. He only responded occasionally and his attitude was cold and not enthusiastic. The female colleagues could only make a few jokes with him occasionally. They could see that the male colleagues present were all centered around Li Wan, so they were not in a good mood. When they had almost finished eating, a female colleague suggested leaving, and she received a lot of support.
A group of people walked out.
When they got to the gate and started to sort out who would go with whom, in the chaos, someone suddenly asked, "Hey? Where's Li Wan?"
The first person to discover that Li Wan was missing was Yuan Yang. After he came out, he subconsciously searched for Li Wan in the crowd, but found nothing.
......
Li Wan hid in the bathroom.
After a full ten minutes to make sure everyone else had left, she walked out of the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
Although the Korean soju I drank tonight was not strong in alcohol, it had a strong aftertaste and I'm already starting to get drunk. The makeup on my face wasn't noticeable, but my neck was stained red.
If you want to deceive Li Zelin, you have to put on a good show.
......
At this moment, the atmosphere at a charity auction dinner was at its most lively.
The dinner was brightly lit and filled with cheers.
Li Zelin, who had just bought the most expensive piece of collection in the venue, undoubtedly attracted the most attention.
He is only thirty years old, but he has already taken complete control of Huanxing. His every move and gesture exudes the aura of a leader. He is dressed in a suit and holding a glass of champagne, with a faint smile on his lips. He stands in front of business seniors who are a generation older than him. He seems to be at ease in the verbal battles, both overt and covert, and does not lose out at all.
"Mr. Li, your phone call." Secretary Wu walked up, smiled apologetically at the people who were talking to Li Zelin, and interrupted their conversation.
Li Zelin took the phone and took a look at it, feeling a little surprised.
He apologized, took his phone and walked towards the balcony. He answered the call as he walked. Before he could say anything, he heard a soft sob...
He stopped and frowned: "Li Wan?"
The person on the other end sobbed a few times, and called him cautiously in a crying voice: "Brother..."
The author has something to say: Make trouble! Make trouble! Make trouble!
