"How dare you! I’m your supervisor! And besides, there’s a printing room next door! You’re in charge of all the copying!" After saying this, he glared at fiercely and turned away!
Standing in the empty tea room, an elderly cleaning lady walked in, "Young lady, it’s not ti to get water yet."
"Huh?"
"You’re new here, aren’t you?" The cleaning lady started mopping the floor, "I’ve been with this company for ten years, and I know everyone here."
"..."
"If you want so water, hurry up and get it. Finish and leave quickly, so your supervisor won’t see you and scold you."
"Ma’am, I’m here to work."
"Of course, you ca here to work. Outsiders can’t co in here; there’s a swipe card system downstairs, and no one without an appointnt can enter!" The lady laughed as she spoke.
The lady seed so kind and friendly, "Ma’am, I an I’m here to work in the tea room!"
"What? Young lady, did you offend your supervisor?"
If I really offended them, there would be so explanation for sending to the tea room. I was sent here directly.
"No." I looked at the lady innocently.
"Last ti, a young girl made a mistake in the data of a docunt and was punished by working in the tea room," the lady said, "You didn’t offend him, so why are you here?"
Shake my head...
After mopping the floor, the lady said, "Alright then, rest here for a while; there’s nothing to do now." After saying this, she exited.
I looked carefully at the small tea room, even this tea room had Bai Juyi’s "Tea" hanging on the wall.
What a poetic and artistic company!
And they treat new employees so harshly!!
At the very least, they should tell what I’m supposed to do, right?
Not a single person here! The lady’s gone too! Sigh, sitting by myself, zoning out...
Huang Puchen is also in this building, right? Which floor might he be on? We’re working in the sa company, how nice, now I can see him every day, just as I was daydreaming, I heard noises outside...
"What’s up with the minister today? Why so angry?"
"Who knows."
"Probably tried to hit on Secretary Li and got rejected again?"
Several people chatted noisily as they entered the tea room, glanced at a few tis, and walked straight to the kettle, "Huh? Where’s the water?" one asked, looking at .
"And no coffee made," another complained.
"Don’t you know to have all this done before we arrive?" one shouted at .
"Right, if you can’t even make tea, what did the company hire you for?"
"You’re new, aren’t you? Haven’t seen you before."
I stood up and was about to say sothing when the lady hurried in, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I just had an upset stomach and delayed everything. Don’t bla her; it’s not her fault."
The lady took all the responsibility. There’s clearly water in the dispenser; if there’s no coffee, just drink plain water.
"There’s water in the dispenser. If you want it hot, it’ll boil in a bit." I can’t stand people who are all bark and no bite!
"Where did this wild girl co from? Who’s she bothering?" one heavily made-up woman said.
This woman’s makeup, really! Is she dressing up as a ghost?
"I’m an employee here! I make the rules in this tea room!"
"Oh, I thought you were so big deal, just a tea girl acting tough!"
Soon, the tiny tea room was packed from our argunt, and the lady couldn’t persuade them, those won scread at , and eventually, soone called the minister over.
"What are you all doing here? Got nothing better to do?" The minister yelled at the crowd watching the commotion.
The crowd heard the minister’s shout and promptly left the tea room, leaving only the ones involved.
The four won seed really afraid of this minister, with their heads down and hands nervously not knowing where to place them.
"Arguing? Go on, continue! Weren’t you very self-righteous just now?" The minister yelled at them, clearly not in a good mood, "And you!" The minister pointed at , "ssing things up as soon as you arrive, can’t even boil water! I really don’t know why the company hired you!"
I rolled my eyes several tis in my mind; no one told what I’m supposed to do!
"All of you, stand in the hallway outside!"
What is this, a school? Is standing outside as a punishnt a thing here? Seeing as they obediently walked to the hallway outside, "Didn’t you hear ?" The minister yelled at again!
Fine, I’ll go! Shouting so loudly, afraid others won’t know you’re disciplining people!
...
Passing by the four actual troublemakers, I glared at them! Getting punished too! They didn’t even say until when we have to stand; if it’s until the end of the day, this spot would probably be seen by many, right? I sighed inwardly, hoping Huang Puchen wouldn’t see .
After half an hour, the elevator doors opened, and a charming man in a black suit walked out. I glanced idly at my toes, and the ones next to started buzzing.
"Look, look, he’s looking at us."
"He’s coming towards us, oh my god, finally noticed ?"
"He noticed , not you."
"Who says? It was !"
In the end, the man stopped in front of . Thinking it’s the minister, I looked up with a face of ’what do you want now?’ At that mont, I really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, talk about fearing sothing and having it happen, I stuttered, "Ji... Huang Puchen?"
"Co with ."
"Oh." I obediently followed him. As we passed the others, my eyes drifted to them making eyes at Huang Puchen!? I made a ghost face at them, held my head high, turned around, and followed Huang Puchen into the elevator.
Huang Puchen pressed the elevator button. I stood beside him, sneaking glances at him. It’s the first ti I’ve seen him dressed like this; compared to the formal wear, he looks more radiant in casual clothes, yet at this mont, he’s like a superior king, instilling fear.
"Why are you being punished to stand?" Huang Puchen’s voice was still so gentle.
I told Huang Puchen about what happened in the tea room.
"They assigned you to work in the tea room?" Huang Puchen asked.
The point isn’t where to work; the point is your employees’ fussiness, can’t work without coffee or tea, you know? My boss, that’s the real issue!
"Yes." I silently nodded, feeling sowhat aggrieved inside.
Huang Puchen took his hand from his pocket and embraced without saying a word.
The elevator stopped on the 18th floor, Huang Puchen released and walked out first. Was it my imagination? The warmth on Huang Puchen’s face vanished, replaced by an expressionless and slightly cold deanor.
