First Day At The Company

Lin Jiao blushed at the praise.

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Wu Xiuwen glanced at them. “That’s enough. Don’t scare our new coworker.”

“We’re just excited.”

“Which one of us will be the guide for our new colleague?”

“Don’t think about it. It can be anyone but you.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

Wu Xiuwen ignored them.

He looked around the workstation and called a man who remained quiet all along. “Zheng Yi, you’ll be in charge of guiding her.”

“Sure.” Zheng Yi led her to an empty seat.

He found more than ten documents and piled them on Lin Jiao’s desk. “There are introductions to the products and projects that we currently have, as well as the planning plans and project proposals we made in the first half of the year. I’ll give you a week to digest them. Is there a problem?”

“No problem.”

“Ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. I’ll ask you to write a proposal in a week.”

Lin Jiao nodded like a chick pecking at grain.

She put down her bag, joined their group chat, and got down to work.

She spent the entire morning immersed in the introduction of the products and projects. Even when it was time for lunch, she was still working.

“Lin Jiao, stop for a moment.”

Zheng Yi knocked on the table with his finger. “We have two hours of lunch break. Go and eat first.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao looked up at him.

She closed the folder and leaned back on the chair. “Brother Zheng, which floor is the cafeteria?”

“Fifth floor,” the female colleague beside her answered.

As she rubbed hand cream on her hand, she said with a friendly smile, “Zheng Yi brought his own food. I’ll go with you.”

The environment in Sheng Heng’s employees’ cafeteria was excellent. Not to mention the elegant decoration, the various considerate services gave people a sense of home.

There were all kinds of dishes lying in the glass display, and they all looked very appetizing.

Lin Jiao held a plate in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other. If not for the fact that she was afraid of wasting food, she really wanted to get a little of every dish.

The two of them walked around the dining area for a long time before finding an empty seat to sit down.

“Yunjie, how long have you been in the company?” Lin Jiao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with her.

“Not long. Maybe six months.”

“Is this your first job?”

“Yeah, kind of.”

Feng Yunjie was very chatty. Once she started, she couldn’t stop talking.

Unavoidably, the girls brought their attention to gossip. Feng Yunjie asked, “Did you know anything about Sheng Heng Corp before you came?”

“I did some research on the company.”

“Then do you know our boss?”

Lin Jiao was stunned for a moment. “I’m not sure. What about him?”

“He’s especially handsome!”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

“When I first saw him, I thought he was from the entertainment industry! He looks like someone who comes straight out of Vampire Diary.”

When Feng Yunjie mentioned him, she looked infatuated.

Especially those eyes. They were sparkling with excitement.

Lin Jiao asked cooperatively, “Is he that handsome?”

“Yes!” Feng Yunjie nodded. “And he’s only 29 years old! He’s already successful at 29 years old. Some people can’t reach his level even if they work hard for their entire lives, okay?”

“That’s true.” Lin Jiao agreed with that.

She had always admired Pei Zhi. Be it his style of doing things or the way he handled problems, he was worth learning from.

After Feng Yunjie was done being infatuated, she sighed and said, “I wonder who will win his heart in the end.”

Lin Jiao silently picked up the bowl to drink the soup.

From the beginning to the end, her reaction was very calm. Feng Yunjie couldn’t help but find it strange. “Lin Jiao, aren’t you curious?”

“I’m curious.” Lin Jiao wiped her lips and asked, “Is he not married yet?”

“No. A person of his status probably will marry a partner who can bring him benefits.”

“Says who?”

“Isn’t that what people in the upper-class society do?”

Lin Jiao shook her head. “He’s capable and rich. He doesn’t need to use marriage to stabilize his status.”

“But he has to consider the Pei family, right? What if his parents want him to marry another rich girl?”

“They won’t.”

“How do you know?” Feng Yunjie looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she was positive.

Lin Jiao, who almost exposed herself, blinked innocently.

She looked at her and said, “It’s just my guess.”

“You scared me.” Feng Yunjie patted her chest. “I thought you knew the Pei family.”

Lin Jiao smiled but did not say anything.

Seeing that Feng Yunjie was almost done eating, she stood up and said, “Yunjie, I’ll go out and buy something.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

“No, go back and rest.”

Watching her disappear in the elevator, Lin Jiao heaved a sigh of relief and followed the GPS to a nearby cafe.

She ordered a cup of cappuccino and leaned comfortably on the sofa to video call Pei Yilan. “Yilan, are you feeling better?”

After Pei Yilan drank cocktails that day, her period was brought forward. Coupled with her abdominal pain, she had to take a sick day today.

“I’m feeling worse.” She rubbed her eyes and rolled over lifelessly. “That prick Chu Yuzhou is messing with me.”

Lin Jiao raised an eyebrow. “What did he do?”

“He snitched on me to my parents. I’m doomed!”

“Did you offend him?”

The Chu and Pei families were not only old friends, but also neighbors. Logically speaking, the relationship between the younger generation should be very close.

However, Pei Yilan and Chu Yuzhou did not get along. They bickered and dissed each other whenever they met.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. The moment he came to my house, he said that I treated Uncle as a gigolo and even insulted him.”

“Seriously? Did you really do that?”

“Of course not!” Pei Yilan looked guilty and then said excitedly, “That’s my uncle. How would I dare?”

Seeing her reaction, Lin Jiao knew that Chu Yuzhou had a lot of evidence to prove what he said.

“Did he say anything about how you insulted your uncle?”

“He said I threw a card at Uncle’s face.”

Pei Yilan’s voice became softer and weaker. “But I don’t think that was the case.”

At the thought of that scene, Lin Jiao was worried for her.

No matter how good-tempered Pei Zhi was, he would surely get angry at being treated as such by his niece.

She suggested, “Although you shouldn’t be held accountable for what you said while you were drunk, you’d better go and apologize.”

Pei Yilan knew very well that Chu Yuzhou would not joke about this. She just did not want to face the truth.

She sighed and stopped talking. “Jiaojiao, you know how afraid of him I am.”
