In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. The day is much shorter than the night. Another day is coming.
Dong Jin and Liang Zhongyao finalized their schedule for the next week, and it was almost time to get off work.
He looked at the situation outside the office through the gap in the blinds in the room. From his angle, he saw Lu Man's position. She was looking at something with her head muttered.
Looking at her serious look, Dong Jin suddenly felt like he knew her again. No wonder people say that serious women are the most beautiful. This seems to be true.
Liang Zhongyao closed his notebook and when he saw Dong Jin's gaze, he couldn't help but follow it and raised his eyebrows.
"Speaking of which," he started. Seeing Dong Jin looking over, he immediately smiled and said, "Our Special Assistant Lu seems to be quite popular."
Dong Jin raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Oh?"
"When we were having lunch, Cao Meng fell in love with her as soon as he saw her and asked her if she had a boyfriend." Liang Zhongyao explained with a smile: "But I noticed that Special Assistant Lu's eyes are indeed beautiful. No wonder that boy
appreciate"
Cao Meng, don't blame me. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. I am also saving you from fire and water.
Liang Zhongyao lowered his eyes and noticed with his sharp eyes that the boss's pen that had been spinning stopped. He squeezed the pen tightly with his fingertips, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Cao Meng?" Dong Jin's eyes were half-squinted, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes: "That boy from the technical department?"
"That's him." Liang Zhongyao nodded and said, "I chatted with him for a while at noon. I heard that he is writing a hacker anti-intrusion program. I believe that good news will come out soon, and our company's internal system will be as stable as the Great Wall."
"
"Oh?" Dong Jin became interested, rolled his eyes and said, "Follow me, if it's good, isn't Xinjie Technology lacking a manager? I'll transfer him there then."
Liang Zhongyao was startled, then smiled and said: "I will follow you."
"Well" Dong Jin buried his head again, opened the document with his slender fingers, read two lines and said: "Our department hasn't been busy for a long time? Let's hold a small welcome party while Lu Man joins the new team, and go to Hanjiang Lin to eat tonight
Barbecue"
"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Liang Zhongyao nodded in agreement: "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
"go"
The office door closed again, Dong Jin raised his head again, and looked outside through the glass window. Perhaps Liang Zhongyao announced the dinner party tonight, and saw the Yuanyuan at the table next to Lu Man jumping up happily, and Lu Man
Man was slightly surprised, then smiled slightly.
Looking at Lu Man's thin pear dimples, Dong Jin only felt that a corner of his heart softened.
Thinking of what Liang Zhongyao just said, he frowned again, Cao Meng? Well, maybe his work is too busy
At this time, Cao Meng, who was teasing with a beautiful girl in the technical department, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from his back. He rubbed his arms, looked up at the ceiling and murmured: "Is the heater broken?"
Hanjiang Lin is a Korean restaurant. It is a restaurant run by real Koreans. The food is very good, so the business is very good.
In the evening, Hanjiang Lin was already full of people. In a small box separated by screens, there were seven people sitting, two men and five women. It was Lu Man and his party.
There were people sitting on both sides of the long table. As a newcomer, Lu Man sat on the lower left side of Dong Jin. Opposite her was Secretary Liang.
Snacks were placed on most of the table, and there was an oven in the center of the table. A chimney was sucking oil smoke above the oven. At this time, the oven was sizzling, and the white and tender pork belly was being rolled up.
Lu Man took the soju next to him, carefully poured it for Dong Jin, and then filled it up for Chen Yuanyuan and others beside him before putting it down.
"Come, let's have a drink and welcome Lu Man to our small group." Dong Jin picked up the wine glass with a smile, looked at the employees on both sides of the table and said: "From now on, we will be one, and everyone must cooperate happily."
"Happy cooperation" everyone clinked their glasses and drank up each other
Lu Man drank the wine from the small glass in one gulp. The spicy wine entered his throat and went straight to his stomach, making him feel like he was about to burn.
Damn, this is too spicy
She turned her face sideways and stuck out her tongue, remembering the Korean dramas she had seen before. Those people drank soju like water. She thought it tasted so good, but it turned out to be so spicy.
Lu Man picked up the tea cup and drank the wheat tea in one gulp. When she saw Dong Jin's gaze, she couldn't help but tighten up and picked up the wine bottle to refill it for him.
"General Manager, I respect you" even though it doesn't sound good, Lu Man still knows the showmanship required.
She picked up the wine glass and looked at Dong Jin with a slight smile.
Dong Jin picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, but did not drink it. He just smiled gently and said: "Although the alcohol content of this soju is not high, you are still on an empty stomach. Eat something to cushion your stomach first, and then drink it later."
Hearing this, Lu Man immediately gave him a grateful smile. Yi Yan put down the cup in his hand and was about to take Chen Yuanyuan's barbecue wrapped in lettuce when Mary, who was opposite her, refused to obey.
"General manager, you are so biased. When Joe and I entered Xinhe, who didn't drink three drinks first?" Mary pouted her red mouth and bumped into Joe next to her to verify: "Do you think so?
"
"Exactly, I was even worse at that time. The wheel battle." Joe looked at Lu Man with a half-smile and said: "Lu Man, it's not that we are making things difficult for you, but that our department has this rule. If you don't believe me, just ask Yuanyuan."
Lu Man immediately looked at Chen Yuanyuan, who was eating meat wrapped in lettuce. He swallowed it wholeheartedly and said apologetically: "Uh, yes."
Dong Jin was a little displeased. He glanced at the two people who were looking at Lu Man eagerly and frowned slightly.
Secretary Liang noticed Dong Jin's displeasure and immediately wanted to smooth things over, but saw Lu Man picking up the wine glass he had put down and saying, "Sister Mary, I don't understand the rules. I'll drink." After that, he took another sip.
After finishing the soju, he picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured another glass. He saluted her: "Sister Mary, you are a senior. Please guide me in the future."
Mary raised her chest and raised her chin slightly. She didn't want to touch her at all, but because Dong Jin was present, Joe bumped her elbow again, so he had to pick up the wine glass and drink it with her symbolically.
"Okay, we are a small department, but we have a lot of things to do. I hope everyone will help each other, and more importantly, be friendly and united." Liang Zhongyao showed his boss attitude and glanced at Mary with a hint.
When Mary received the look from her boss, she suddenly became excited and said, "Yes" and the others also responded "Yes" one after another.
Lu Man rarely drinks. She never knows whether she can drink because she has never been drunk. It's not because she can't drink a thousand glasses, but because she doesn't drink. But now after drinking three glasses of soju in a row, she just feels like she's drunk.
It's burning
Dong Jin glanced at her worriedly and personally refilled her tea. Ou Xiaolai, who had been silent all the time, saw her, his eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to his natural state.
It was not only Ou Xiaolai but also Joe who saw Dong Jin's behavior. She was a little surprised. She glanced at Lu Man quietly, but was shocked.
At this moment, Lu Man glanced at Dong Jin with a grateful and okay expression, while Dong Jin showed pity in his eyes.
Joe's hand tightened, and the chopsticks in his hand felt cold. He glanced at the silent exchange between the two, and bit his lower lip.
A gentleman like Dong Jin, who is gentle, handsome and rich in wealth, is the ideal son-in-law of a famous lady. Even Xinhe and his subordinates have a secret crush on Dong Jin. Joe is one of them.
Among the several assistants, Mary is dignified and shrewd, and she already has a lawyer boyfriend, while Joe is charming, especially with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, not to mention very attractive, but no matter how she moves in front of Dong Jin, Dong Jin is still waiting for her.
She always treated her with gentleness, which was just the politeness of a superior to a subordinate.
The other two assistants are naive and silly like Chen Yuanyuan, who only knows about delicious food all day long, and she knows that she has a crush on Zhang Junxiu, the guy from the development department, while Ou Xiaolai is lonely, cold and arrogant, and doesn't care about any man and doesn't know.
Is he a Les, or someone who has been hurt by love, who is mysterious all day long?
Now here comes Lu Man. To be honest, when I saw Lu Man yesterday, it wasn’t too bad. I just thought she was a pretty girl. But today, she wore a Versace formal suit and she looked like a different person.
The aura of her whole body is indescribable, just like, yes, just like those ladies and ladies, there is a sense of elegance and ease in every move she makes.
That's all, but Dong Jin, who has always been polite to his subordinates and kept a certain distance, actually showed a trace of pity to her and took care of her. In Joe's eyes, he was jealous and envious, and his heart felt as if he had been scratched by a cat.
of
Thinking of this, Joe felt a little indignant. He took the wine aside and refilled it for several people. He put on a smiling face and looked at Lu Man and said, "Lu Man, I see you are very young. You are only 25 this year?"
Several people were stunned, wondering what she meant by suddenly asking this.
Lu Man put down his chopsticks and smiled slightly: "Well, I'm almost 26."
"You are so young. I see that you are a little new to work. Have you just graduated and started working?" Joe pretended to be curious and asked, "What was your previous major?"
The smile on Lu Man's face froze, her hand moved slightly, and she subconsciously pulled it down and put it on her lap. Mary, who had been paying attention to her, narrowed her eyes.
"I, I chose the Chinese department" Lu Man glanced at Dong Jin and said
"Chinese Department? Which university did you study in?" Joe asked
Lu Man couldn't resist anymore. She pursed her lips and looked at Joe. She could clearly see the provocation in her eyes. She knew that she and Mary both graduated from prestigious schools. Even Chen Yuanyuan was a top ten student from a prestigious school.
It’s not that I don’t want to say that I went to an aristocratic girls’ school, but I haven’t graduated yet. Do I have to tell this lie?
Lu Man looked at the provocative eyes of the two people opposite him and suddenly felt a little inferior and embarrassed.
