Chapter 1636: Chapter 1637: Hey Beautiful, Alone? Care to Join Me for Zhong Lunch?
You shrugged with a smile: "It doesn’t matter, I’m not really an ambitious person. I’m a one-man band, as long as the company pays me on time every month, I’m happy to take it easy. As for the future, we’ll see what happens."
"What a broad mind!" the Giantess laughed.
Old Xing glanced at the Giantess, expressionless, and said, "I say, Weiwei, if you don’t leave now, that woman is likely to give you trouble again."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" With that, the Giantess grabbed a folder and quickly ran out. As she ran, you felt the floor shaking even more vigorously and suspected that the floor below probably had a layer of dust shaken off as well.
At the door, she turned back and grinned at you: "Handsome, my name is Lan Weiwei, from the planning department. You can chat with me whenever you’re free."
Once Lan Weiwei left, the large room became quiet again.
"Have a seat," Old Xing said to you.
You casually found a spot to sit down and looked at Old Xing: "Senior, if there’s anything you need, just tell me."
Old Xing waved his hand: "Just call me Old Xing, it’s just the two of us here, no need to be so formal."
"Alright."
Old Xing looked at you again and said, "To be honest, this large investment group doesn’t really need such a big warehouse. It looks big, and there’s a lot of stuff, but only a few things are truly useful. Over the years, nothing has come in, only things going out, because the initial stock purchased by the leadership was enough for ten years!"
You listened and couldn’t help but smile: "So, this place is going to be very idle, right?"
"Not just idle, extremely idle!"
"Hmm, that sounds like a decent job." As you spoke, you rested your folded arms behind your head, leisurely leaning against the wall. "I’m actually quite lazy myself, just working to get by, as long as I can make ends meet."
Upon hearing this, Old Xing glanced at you, shook his head, and didn’t say more.
Time usually passes in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, lunchtime had arrived, and after a comfortable nap on the lounger, you stretched and slowly got up, saying to Old Xing, who was still calculating on paper, "I say, Old Xing, ever since I arrived, you’ve been doing calculations with a pen. Aren’t you tired?"
Old Xing looked at you and gave a faint smile. To you, it seemed like a bitter smile, full of endless fatigue and weariness.
"If you had two sons, one in college and one in high school, you would understand how I feel now."
With a slight shrug, you pushed the door open and left, not forgetting to ask, "Want me to bring you some food?"
"No need," Old Xing replied and continued his calculations.
Outside the door, you couldn’t help but shake your head and sigh lightly.
In your opinion, what makes humans truly human is not their use of brains to learn knowledge, nor standing at the top of the food chain, but a single word: responsibility.
Because of responsibility, someone who has been idle and unemployed can shoulder the burden of supporting a family; because of responsibility, a man can give selflessly; because of responsibility, passionate young people devote their best years to the country’s borders.
It’s also because of responsibility that you, after going through various hardships and having resolved never to set foot in this field again, resolutely got involved.
To put it bluntly, you don’t have much of a clue about this task right now. After all, just after joining the group, someone pulled a fast one on you, relegating you to a place that seems like it will never allow you to showcase your talents.
In reality, anyone normal would have chosen to leave immediately.
Of course, you would too.
You would definitely leave, but before leaving, you’d "struggle" a bit more.
You know very well that as soon as you set foot in this office building, your movements have been exposed to someone’s monitor. Being placed in the warehouse department was likely part of this person’s plan. While resting, you pondered over who this person could be, and in the end, the answer was both frustrating and amusing because this person was your own elder sister, Li Qiyi.
During the interview, you vaguely sensed Li Qiyi’s hostility towards you, which was not due to personal emotions but a rational decision from a work perspective.
To be honest, even you found Heavenly Fox’s approach somewhat abrupt. If you hadn’t used this face, you might have already started a normal job; it’s precisely because of this face that Li Qiyi became suspicious. It can’t be ruled out that Cen Nong might also have been involved.
Still, Heavenly Fox had its reasons for doing so, which you naturally considered during your rest.
If you had an ordinary face, you’d be just like the hundreds of other employees in this group, working from nine to five every day, living both exhausting and laborious lives, with no prospects of promotion.
No matter how high the credentials Heavenly Fox fabricated, no matter how strong your abilities, you would never have the opportunity to enter Haitian Building in a short time. Because in this vast Haitian Investment Group, no more than five people are qualified to enter Haitian Building.
The main reason for doing so was to attract Cen Nong’s attention immediately.
Based on your previous encounter with Cen Nong, you noticed Cen Nong seemed to have significant internal fluctuations regarding this face. Being assigned to this warehouse position as soon as you started working clearly indicates Cen Nong has been paying attention to you.
Next, what you need to do is just follow the normal routine.
The so-called "normal" is customized according to yourself, and this is the main reason Heavenly Fox had you explore upfront because you’re always someone who doesn’t follow a conventional path, and you never play by the established rules. If it weren’t for that, Heavenly Fox wouldn’t have... uh, oversaid.
When you enter the elevator, you find it’s not crowded; the reason being that there’s a girl standing there who is about your height but double your size, Lan Weiwei.
Upon seeing you, Lan Weiwei immediately greets you: "Hi, handsome, we meet again."
If it were a regular person, they would at most give an awkward smile and then try their best to stay away from Lan Weiwei.
Anyone with eyes could see that around Lan Weiwei there was an empty circle of about seventy to eighty centimeters even though the rest of the space was crowded to the brim. Evidently, Lan Weiwei was extremely unpopular in this area, and engaging her in conversation would definitely result in being categorized as one of the "unwelcome" people.
However, you personally find Lan Weiwei quite charming. At least she lives freely, genuinely, and straightforwardly.
So, you walked right up to Lan Weiwei, winked at her, and with a smile said: "Hey beauty, are you alone? Care to join me for lunch?"
