5, five sweet pomelo(1/2)
Graduation is approaching, and senior students are busy looking for jobs and further studies. The dormitory building is empty. Qiyou also moved back home a month ago, leaving only a change of clothes and daily care products in the dormitory.
She had been tortured so hard last night that she slept in a hazy state. She didn't wake up until after dinner time, and the pain in her waist was still so obvious.
"Why are there only two of us, Bei Rui and He Pingping?" She slowly got off the bed.
"Bei Rui has been busy looking for a job recently. It seems that there is an interview today. You don't know He Pingping, a top student. He is busy with postgraduate entrance examinations and almost lives in the library." Chen Jinan answered.
Qi You said oh and took the clothes to take a shower.
She found the shower gel on the cabinet and felt a little strange when she held it in her hand. This bottle seemed to be new and hadn't been used much. It seemed like it had lost a lot of value all of a sudden.
A bottle of shower gel only cost a few hundred yuan. She didn't think much and entered the bathroom leisurely.
When she came out of the bathroom, her roommate Bei Rui happened to come back from outside. She didn't bring an umbrella and was soaked to the skin.
Qi You handed her a towel and asked, "How was the interview?"
"I don't know, I've been interviewed by several companies, and HR asked me to come back and wait for notification." Bei Rui wiped her hair, her voice full of exhaustion.
She doesn't have a good family background like Qi You, and has to rely on herself for everything. She has no background, and her strength is not as good as that of Chen Jinan. She has encountered many obstacles during this period.
Qi You consoled her: "It's okay. HR likes to do this. Maybe I'll call you in a few days."
"Well," Bei Rui nodded, "By the way, why are you back?"
Qi You's relationship with Bei Rui was okay, but it was nowhere near as close as Chen Jin'an's. There was no need to let her know about all the bad things going on at home, so she casually said, "Oh, I'm so bored at home. Let's come back and play for two days."
"
She opened her drawer dedicated to storing skin care products, and half of the originally full pile of facial masks was instantly reduced. She turned around and asked, "Jin'an, have you used my facial mask?"
Chen Jinan was watching a drama and said without raising his head: "No, I don't have one. I still have a big box of facial masks."
"That's weird, why are there so many missing?" Qi You muttered.
Bei Rui's back was slightly stiff and he hesitated: "That... is what I use. Because I didn't have an interview recently, I borrowed a few tablets from you."
How many slices?
Qiyou flipped through it, and found that at least a dozen pieces had been used, and they were all big-name products, the kind that cost hundreds of pieces.
She is not a stingy person, a box of facial masks is nothing to her, but she doesn't like others messing with her things.
Bei Rui saw that her face was not very good, so she asked cautiously: "Youyou, you won't be angry, will you?"
Qi You took out a facial mask and closed the drawer, "No, just remember to tell me when you take it next time."
Bei Rui lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Qi You put on a mask, moved a chair, and watched the show with Chen Jinan. Chen Jinan, a handsome guy, boasted about the male protagonist for a long time, but Qi You couldn't get the male protagonist's appearance at all, and even felt that he looked worse than the man she slept with yesterday.
Handsome, after watching it for less than ten minutes, I started scrolling on Weibo beside me.
Bei Rui went in to take a shower. The phone on the table kept vibrating. Qi You glanced at it and called inside: "Bei Rui, your phone number."
"Here we come." Bei Rui came out wrapped in a bath towel, answered the phone and muttered, covering her mouth and thanking her repeatedly, her expression getting more and more excited.
"Ah! Sisters, I got the interview!!" After hanging up the phone, she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Really? Which company did you interview with?" Chen Jinan clicked pause and finally looked away from the male protagonist's face.
"Qiao Group! They told me to go to work tomorrow."
"..." Qi You sprayed a mouthful of salt soda on Chen Jinan's tablet, coughed several times and asked: "Wha... what group?!"
"Qiao's is the first company that started out as a computer electronics company. Later, its business expanded to many industries including film, television, culture, finance, and investment. Now it is one of the largest Internet companies in China! Gugu Video, Xinming Technology, and Boxin, you should all
You know, right? They are all owned by them."
Not only did she know that this was the source of Qi You's headaches these past few days, but when she mentioned this surname, her eyebrows would jump a few times. The more she tried to avoid it, the more her ghost lingered.
"Sister, it's not me who has a grudge against you. Why are you slandering me?" Chen Jinan pulled out a bunch of paper towels to wipe his innocent tablet, pulled his neck and said, "Beili, do you know your future boss lady...
…Ah! It hurts, it hurts!”
Qi You pinched Chen Jinan's waist hard and warned her not to talk nonsense with his eyes.
Bei Rui looked at them both confused, "What's the problem?"
"It's nothing." Qi You said with a smile: "She just wanted to say I wish you good luck in your future work."
"..." Chen Jinan cried and nodded.

On Monday, the sun was shining brightly.
CBD high-rise buildings are at a premium, and this is a workplace that young people aspire to, and it is also a battlefield. During the morning rush hour, white-collar workers are in a hurry, carrying coffee and swiping their cards to enter the building. The busy week is about to begin again.
Bei Rui stood under the office building of Qiao Group and looked up. The entire 68-story building reached into the sky, which was shocking.
Today is her first day at work. The HR manager went through the entry procedures for her and arranged for her to report to the administrative department.
She studied visual communication design in college, but with her current qualifications, she has not even reached the threshold of Joe's Design Department. She can only start as a small assistant in the administrative department, survive the three-month internship period, and then work step by step.
Climb up.
The administrative manager brought her to the office to make an introduction. The colleagues were not interested in this new intern. They just glanced at her and went about their own business, with a bit of disdain on their lips.
Bei Rui awkwardly sat down at her new workstation, and soon someone threw a bunch of messy work at her.
We were busy like this until noon, when the manager suddenly notified all the employees to come downstairs and gather in ten minutes. The whole office was in an uproar, and the little girls started to touch up their makeup in a hurry.
"Ah? Are you here so early? Didn't you say in the afternoon?"
"Please help me see if my eye makeup is stained?"
"Oh, there's no need to make up for it. He can't see it if he's standing so far away."
Bei Rui followed everyone downstairs in the elevator in confusion. The originally empty lobby was now filled with people. There were two neat rows of people standing in rows from high to low management levels, taking care of their appearance and everyone was ready.
"Who is coming?" Bei Rui asked in a low voice to the person next to her.
"You didn't know? The prince of our company has returned to China."
"Prince?"
"He is the grandson of Director Qiao, not the prince. I heard that his transfer back to China will cause great turmoil in the company. Hey, he's here, he's here."
"Shh... don't talk."
Everyone's breathing was tense, and their eyes were focused on the door.
Bei Rui stood too far away to see clearly, and could only faintly hear a few brake sounds. A few dozen seconds later, a dignified-looking young man stepped into the door, followed by four or five people in business attire carrying official documents.
Bao's assistant.
He has a slender figure and is an appearance that will be noticed at a glance in the crowd. He is wearing a pressed blue and black suit, which outlines a tall and straight figure. His tie is also tied meticulously, and his eyes have a cold and distant look, which makes people feel sad.
Don't dare to get close.
As soon as he appeared, everything around him was eclipsed.
The senior management greeted him respectfully. The man nodded lightly and entered the elevator while chatting with him.
"He's so handsome." Bei Rui kept following him with her eyes, inexplicably fascinated.
"Don't think about it, the story of the domineering president falling in love with me cannot happen to us. According to internal news, Director Qiao has fallen in love with his grandson's wife, and it is said that he is planning to get engaged next month."
Someone gossiped and asked: "So soon? Didn't you just return to China? Who is that woman?"
"Who knows, anyway, it must be the rich daughter of some family. Rich people pay more attention to being well-matched. How can there be so many Cinderellas in reality? We can only look at men from such family backgrounds."
"Tsk, tsk, it's a pity to get married young..."
Bei Rui looked at the man's retreating figure with bright eyes, wondering if she heard what her colleagues said.
After welcoming the big boss, the group rushed back to the office to continue working. However, this Monday was destined to be restless. An announcement suddenly popped up on the company's intranet——
"After discussion by the board of directors, Qiao Chunyan, the former head of North America, will be officially transferred to the president of Qiao Group with immediate effect. He will be fully responsible for the overall operation and management of the company. We hope that all departments will actively cooperate..."
This means that the Crown Prince has officially succeeded to the throne.
The company exploded again.
//
The president's office on the 68th floor is luxuriously decorated, with arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. Assistant Lu Chao stood in front of the mahogany table with a tablet in his hand and reported work: "Mr. Qiao, the announcement has been sent out."
Qiao Chunyan flipped through the document in his hand and signed his name - joy - at the end of the page, writing vigorously.
"In addition," Lu Chao placed the tablet on the table, pulled out a video and pushed it in front of his eyes, "This is the hotel surveillance video you asked for. According to your previous instructions, Qiao Ye will not be allowed to see the content inside."
Qiao Yanyan paused with his pen and looked up at the screen.
The video was zoomed in at one point, and the scene was fixed at the entrance of the elevator. The woman was wearing a large, ill-fitting white shirt, trying her best to cover her face with her long hair. She was looking around as she slipped out of the elevator, looking like a kid who had done something bad.
fraud.
Lu Chao continued: "Her name is Qi You, and she is currently a senior at E University of Design. In addition, her father is the chairman of Shengyuan Group, which is... the Qi family that Director Qiao hopes to marry you."
"...Qiyou."
"It turns out it's her."
To be continued...
