Childhood sweetheart and a lover who falls from the sky? Straight men and homophobia! (Twenty-nine)
"If you're new here and you're not busy, please go to the tea room and make us a cup of coffee. I guess we'll all have to work overtime tonight."
"Oh ok, I'll go now."
The petite girl hurriedly got up and rushed into the tea room. As soon as she came in, she sighed silently.
"Oh, I thought big companies would be different, but they still treat newcomers as errand boys?"
She was a little annoyed, but still started to take the coffee obediently.
"It's been a week since I came here, but I still feel like I haven't learned anything. They're working overtime tonight and I don't have anything to do, so why not just leave?"
She was muttering to herself in the tea room when suddenly footsteps were heard behind her and the girl quickly shut up.
It's only been a week since she joined the company. This is a company that countless people from her school want to get into. She can't be fired just for gossiping after just one week!
"You take so much coffee by yourself?"
A pleasant voice and a faint fragrance came together. The girl subconsciously looked up and her eyes immediately stared.
This boy is so handsome!
How come he didn't know there was such a good-looking person in the company?
She stuttered a little, "Ah, yes, yes, everyone is busy and has to work overtime tonight and I am relatively free, so I came to help make coffee."
"I see. I'll use this one, and you go ahead and do your thing."
The man reached out to open the cabinet on the far right and took out coffee beans.
The girl was a little shocked. Could it be that this person wanted to cook it now?
But a cup of hand-ground coffee takes a lot of time. Is he so free?
Could he be a new employee like me?
After all, he looks very young and seems to be just a little older than me.
The man in the white shirt lowered his brows and looked very serious. The girl secretly looked at him several times and noticed that he was a rare type who would button up all his clothes.
Although she felt a little regretful, she also felt that it was quite abstinent.
The girl deliberately slowed down her movements and thanked for the first time the seniors who asked her to run errands and do odd jobs.
The aroma of coffee gradually spread, and the girl couldn't help but move closer in a low voice.
"Um, I don't think I've seen you in the company before. Are you also a newcomer?"
Song Ning was a little surprised.
Doesn’t this newcomer know himself?
On second thought, maybe it’s just one person, which is normal.
"No, I, um..."
He pondered over what to say and picked up two cups of prepared coffee.
"To be precise, I am not actually from your company. I am just a family member of an employee."
He nodded at the other party and left the tea room with the coffee.
Employees’ family members?
Only then did the girl notice the fleeting dazzling light on the man's ring finger when he turned around.
So this handsome guy is married?
"Sister Zheng, I've made the coffee."
"Thanks, but why are you so dejected when you're making a cup of coffee? Have you been bullied?"
As soon as the flaming red-lipped sister Zheng finished speaking, the people who were working overtime looked up.
"What? The new kid was bullied?"
"There is such a thing. Which bastard did it?"
"Don't be afraid, new here. If you get bullied, tell our sister Zheng. No one in our house can be bullied by outsiders."
The girl looked confused. Why do you all seem so friendly?
She looked at Sister Zheng again, who looked serious as if she would rush to ask for justice after hearing her name, and quickly waved her hand with a red face.
"It's not me, it's..." She was a little embarrassed, "I just saw a very handsome young man in the tea room just now, and he said he was a family member of an employee in the company. I was a little surprised."
She was afraid that everyone would hear her disappointment, so she added hastily.
"I'm just a little confused. Is the company's treatment so good that you can bring your family to work?"
Everyone in the room was silent for two seconds, then sighed.
"Another child who has gone astray. Is he the same as you?"
"Nonsense, I didn't dare to think about it at the time."
"You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility, right?"
"Coward, what's there to be afraid of? I dare to admit it."
"You're quite bold. You almost rushed up to Mr. Ning and asked if he could be your partner. We thought you were going to be fired by Mr. Lan."
"What can I do? Mr. Ning was recruiting so many people at that time. I was really blind and didn't see the ring. If you want to blame someone, just blame Mr. Lan for not buying pigeon eggs for Mr. Ning!"
"Bah, you shameless bastard, you are blind and you can blame Mr. Lan. Mr. Ning, with that kind of temperament, can he look good wearing a pigeon egg?"
"Oh, you're right. Mr. Ning's wedding ring seems to be a pigeon egg. Wasn't there a report that he was not afraid of death? But our President Lan is very powerful. Less than five minutes after the report, it was directly broken into pieces. I didn't even have time to save it!"
A group of people were gossiping while working, and the girl was confused, but she seemed to understand it.
"Is that person Mr. Lan's relative?"
Being called Mr. Ning by everyone?
Sister Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, then she felt a little more energetic and glanced at her again.
"I thought you should know about this. You don't usually gossip much in school, right?"
The girl was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, it is."
Sister Zheng understood.
"No wonder you don't know Mr. Ning. He and President Lan both graduated from your academy. If you read some gossip, you should know their stories. Okay, if you don't have anything to do tonight, don't work overtime with us. This cup of coffee is enough."
As they were talking, a familiar figure came in.
"Brother Wen?"
Sister Zheng was surprised.
Secretary Wen smiled and waved his phone, "Mr. Ning heard that your department is working overtime tonight, so he asked me to come down and ask you what you would like to eat for supper. Mr. Ning will treat you."
"Long live Mr. Ning!"
"Long live Mr. Ning!"
"Boss Lan, I'm so envious of you!"
Everyone cheered, and Sister Zheng leaned back in her chair and looked at the newlyweds with a smile on her face.
"In that case, if you're not busy tonight, why don't you stay and have a midnight snack together? It's rare that Mr. Ning has time to put down his research and come here, so we must cherish it."
The girl looked at it again and again and nodded silently.
She suddenly felt that she might have misunderstood before.
The phone on the table vibrated, and Lance barely got up from Song Ning's neck, revealing a large bright red mark.
"Huh? You used my card to treat me again?"
Lance looked at the person he placed on the desk with a half-smile.
Song Ning kicked him lightly with his toes, and his hands and feet felt sore and weak.
"Can't I just swipe your card?"
"Okay, you are Mr. Ning who is riding on my head. You can't do whatever you want."
Lance picked up the already warm coffee. The aroma of the coffee gradually blended with the faint scent of perfume. The bitter and mellow fragrance was mixed with a hint of sweetness, which made him unable to put it down.
The night is still long, just like some employees are still working overtime, he can also 'work overtime'.
