When Lin Yi left back then, he had already paved the way for cald down in the workplace.
Now, she’s the third in command here.
At the beginning, work was difficult to manage, but her refusal to give up and her own work capability quickly earned the recognition of colleagues around her. Even though she was young, everyone respected her.
And the older sister in the mailroom naturally had to respectfully call her ’leader’ when talking to her.
This has nothing to do with age; it’s workplace etiquette and rules.
"Sis Wang, we’re not at work, no need to be so formal."
Cald down was very easygoing, unlike others who often put on airs; this was also a reason she could garner recognition.
"Alright, alright." The older sister said politely:
"Just now, a particularly handso young man ca looking for you. I said you were on maternity leave and he left."
"A particularly handso young man?"
Cald down was startled on the other end of the call.
Her social circle was very narrow, besides colleagues at work, there were only a few good childhood friends.
The opposite sex she ca into contact with, apart from relatives, were only colleagues, so logically, no other opposite sex should co looking for her.
"Could it be soone from another unit? Did he say why he was looking for ?" She asked.
"He didn’t say. I just ntioned you were on maternity leave and he left."
The older sister recalled what happened earlier and said:
"But from his accent, it seed like he was from the Southern, didn’t sound local."
"From the Southern, male, good-looking..."
Cald down murmured to herself, suddenly falling silent.
"Leader?"
"Sis Wang, let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send you a photo; you see if it’s him."
"Alright, alright."
The older sister in the mailroom readily agreed; getting a chance to add the leader on WeChat was an opportunity she wanted to seize.
Quickly, the two beca friends, and Cald down sent her a photo.
"Yes, yes, it’s him." The older sister replied on WeChat.
"Thank you, Sis Wang, I know what’s going on now."
"No need to be so formal, leader; it’s no big deal. If he cos again, I’ll inform you."
"No need, he won’t co again."
Despite their brief interaction, Cald down understood Lin Yi’s character well.
If she were still single, unable to find her, he might call, et up, and catch up.
But knowing she’s married with kids, he’s unlikely to co again.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be Lin Yi.
...
Carrying roasted sweet potatoes, Lin Yi walked on a snowy street.
Although he didn’t see her, he felt this kind of behavior was very much in keeping with Cald down’s style.
A decisive Northeast girl, bold and passionate, really impressive.
And she had twins, a real winner in life.
"Missed the wedding gift, should send sothing instead."
Naturally, he said to himself, hailing a taxi.
"Young man, where to?" The driver warmly asked.
"Driver, what’s the best housing here?"
"The best housing would be Fuli Bay, said to be over 40,000 yuan per square ter, definitely luxury hos."
"Fine, let’s head there."
"Alright."
After about twenty minutes, they arrived at Fuli Bay’s sales center.
Along the way, Lin Yi appreciated a lot of local scenes.
As one of the most prosperous cities back then, although economic growth slowed over the years, not as strong as other cities.
But this city’s strong foundation remains undeniable.
Especially the European architecture lining both sides of the street, being here feels like being abroad.
That indescribable foreign charm might even outshine Zhong Hai.
Getting off, Lin Yi carried two roasted sweet potatoes, glanced at the sales center.
The whole structure was made of opaque glass, from outside, the inside couldn’t be seen, giving a high-end impression.
This alone shows the grade of the place.
Pushing the door, warmth filled the air.
The brightly lit lobby indicates its uniqueness.
Being a high-end residence, coupled with the early hours, on a weekday, the sales center wasn’t very crowded, just a few scattered people, mostly staff.
Upon Lin Yi’s entrance, he instantly drew the attention of the sales agents.
But seeing his attire, their enthusiasm halved, with no intention to entertain him.
"Coming in with roasted sweet potatoes, treating this like a mall?"
The speaker was a male agent with short hair and glasses, impatiently murmuring.
"Probably waiting for the bus outside, couldn’t get on, so ca here for warmth."
"Even if seeking warmth, one must consider the place; this is Fuli Bay, where most don’t have the courage to enter."
"Maybe he’s the type with social confidence, feels no need to engage."
"I think so too, wasting ti on him is not worth it."
"Hey, hey, are you two Chou Shuai or what, speaking ill of others like this."
The speaker was a tall young woman, in a black OL uniform and black high heels.
Her tall stature, small nose bridge, and beautiful almond-shaped face made her stand out among female sales.
"This has nothing to do with Chou Shuai; even if we ignore his attire, holding two roasted sweet potatoes shows he’s seeking warmth, unlikely to buy a house here."
"Whether he buys or not doesn’t matter; as long as he’s handso, he’s nice to look at."
"Tingting, don’t be so love-struck; easy to be deceived." The glasses-wearing male agent said.
"It’s not love-struck; I’m simply a face enthusiast." Zhao Ting said, her head held high:
"I’ll go attend to him, might even get his WeChat; isn’t love just around the corner?"
"But the issue is, your sales are at the bottom; focus your ti more wisely."
"Whether I’m at the bottom doesn’t matter; my family isn’t short of money. My dad sent here, just to pass ti."
Poverty breeds cunning, wealth nurtures conscience.
Zhao Ting was this type of person.
Growing up in privilege, worry about money was foreign, so she approached things based on personal preference, unlike others who prioritized benefits.
Adjusting her clothes, Zhao Ting walked towards Lin Yi.
"Sir, are you here to see the house?"
Though she knew Lin Yi couldn’t afford houses at Fuli Bay, as staff, she had to lay the groundwork before asking for contact information.
Lin Yi nodded, saying:
"Yes, I’m here to look at the house."
