As usual, Mint was busy all day long, and even when it was time to get off work, she still couldn't leave.
During the day, you must use your time to work and do your duties well. As for punishment, you can only stay and work overtime.
As soon as the off-duty time comes, office workers leave in droves.
Lin Lin also cleared the table and turned to look at Mint. She really couldn't bear it and said apologetically, "Mint, I'm so sorry. I can't help you with this."
Mint shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is not your fault in the first place. It doesn't matter to me. I can finish it soon."
"Then... come on, don't be too late alone."
Mint glanced at the two offices not far away. Fang Yuan and Qiao Nawei hadn't left either.
She couldn't help but joke to herself, "I'm not alone, they are here too!"
Lin Lin sighed helplessly, that's what makes it worse, especially that Miss Qiao, who is so weird all day long, ugh!
"Mint, I won't disturb you anymore, just write quickly, come on!"
Mint raised the corners of her lips gratefully, "Okay, you should leave quickly. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Lin Lin waved her hand and was about to leave, but suddenly she remembered something and hurriedly took out a bar of chocolate from her bag, "Mint, this is for you. If you are hungry later,
Just use it as a cushion first!"
Mint felt warm in her heart and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lin Lin!"
"Oh, you're welcome, it's just a bar of chocolate! I'm leaving first, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After Lin Lin left, Mint was the only one left in the ordinary staff's workspace. She forced herself to endure the suffocation in her chest, took out a pen and paper, and began to copy it by hand a hundred times.
The slender figure was leaning on the desk, immersed in writing.
Once, twice, three times, four times...
Every time I finish writing, it means that it is closer to the time to get off work, and I can go back to pick up An An faster.
Mint secretly encouraged himself and kept writing.
I wrote for more than an hour at a stretch. My hands are sore and my eyes are sore.
"Dang-dang-" The sound of high-heeled shoes broke the silence, and Qiao Nawei walked out of the office angrily. Apparently she had written it ten times.
Passing by Mint's desk, she muttered unconvincingly, "Broom star!"
Mint's fingers holding the pen tightened slightly, and he really wanted to have a big quarrel with her, but having said that, Qiao Nawei was indeed innocent, so he just let her vent.
So Mint pretended to turn a deaf ear and continued to copy without raising his head.
But Qiao Nawei refused to let it go, and said sarcastically, "Hey, you haven't finished writing yet? That's right, I only wrote it ten times, you have to write it a hundred times, keep up the good work!"
Mint slowly raised his head and responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "I will work hard!"
There was no point in arguing with Qiao Nawei, and she didn't have time to argue with her now.
Qiao Nawei snorted lightly and left proudly with a "victor" attitude.
Mint looked at her back with a faint expression. He quickly looked away and continued to work hard.
However, her troubles came one after another. Before Qiao Nawei had gone far, Fang Yuan also left the office. Her efficiency was obviously much faster than Qiao Nawei. One was completed twenty times, the other ten times, and they were completed in about the same time.
Mint secretly admired her. Fang Yuan's ability should not be underestimated. Whether it was her previous outstanding performance on the 28th floor or her current writing speed, they were all top-notch.
Just like Fang Yuan's purpose of framing her this time, she did understand Fang Yuan's strength.
Fang Yuan carried her purse and walked slowly. Her eyes seemed to be disdainful. She didn't even glance at her and just walked straight over.
Of course Mint doesn't feel disappointed, she just feels a little ridiculous. Now Fang Yuan has nothing to worry about, right? In front of her, there is no need to even pretend?
No matter what, she has always hated hypocrisy and subterfuge. If she were to be like Fang Yuan, wearing a gentle and harmless coat every day, but in fact her heart is full of calculations, she would only feel hypocritical and shameful, and she would not be able to survive a day!
The sound of "dang-dang--" gradually faded away, and Mint's heart became calm again.
She looked at the time and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. She had only written less than twenty times, which was still far from a hundred times!
However, if Fang Yuan can write so fast, she will definitely not be bad at it!
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her head and continued writing furiously.
Time passed by unconsciously, and several hours passed in a flash.
During this period, Mint always maintained the same posture and kept immersed in writing.
My right hand copied quickly, and after every piece of paper I finished writing, I put another one on my left hand... My right hand became more and more numb when writing, and the stack of papers on my left hand side got higher and higher.
After writing it, she no longer had to read the original text. She could almost recite the rules about three exemptions and five deductions.
There was silence in the huge office, except for the rustling of the pen tip on the paper.
Finally writing the last part, Mint finally saw the dawn of victory. She worked harder and harder, even though her fingers were so painful that they were about to break, she still refused to stop and wrote the last word in one go.
When she came to a successful conclusion, she felt relaxed.
My heart relaxed, and my whole body softened. The pen fell on the table and rolled to the ground.
She quickly lowered her head to pick it up, but the pen was picked up. But when she raised her head again, she suddenly felt dizzy, her eyesight blurred, and she was so weak that she almost fell down.
Fortunately, she held on to the edge of the table in time so she wasn't too embarrassed.
The dizzy feeling lasted for several seconds. She covered her forehead in discomfort and frowned tightly.
This feeling was very similar to what people often call hypotension. She didn't know if her judgment was correct, but she hadn't eaten anything so late at night, and hadn't even drank any water for several hours.
She quickly opened the drawer, took out the chocolate Lin Lin had just given her, unpacked it, and quickly took a bite.
The sweet, astringent and bitter taste of chocolate slowly spread across the tip of her tongue, and the taste slowly melted into her heart.
After eating chocolate, she couldn't help but think of that time when Zhuo Xi bought a box of chocolates for An An, but Guan Shouheng deliberately destroyed it.
Stop, stop thinking about him!
Mint shook his head subconsciously, forcing himself to retract his thoughts.
After a while, the dizziness subsided slightly. She held on, organized the information on the desktop, and put the paper she had just copied directly into her bag.
After what happened today, she no longer dared to leave documents in the office.
For safety reasons, it is better for her to take it home, even though it is very heavy!
After a few minutes, she packed up everything, got up and left the office.
She was holding a heavy bag in her arms. Yes, she could only hold it, because if she carried it, she was not sure whether the strap would break.
Because it was too late, the whole office building was quiet, and the front door had been locked. Only the back door was still open. She went around and around, and finally got to the back door, where only the security guards were left.
one.
She saw a slightly sad look in the security guard's eyes, as if he was waiting for her to lock the door.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." She said apologetically.
Seeing that her attitude was quite good, the security guard didn't say much.
She quickened her pace and quickly left the office building.
When she got outside, it was already very dark. She didn't know why, but she subconsciously turned her head and looked in the east direction.
I don't know whether it was because she had been lowering her head to copy tonight, which caused her neck to become stiff, or because she suddenly turned around and used too much force, but her neck suddenly made a "crack" sound, and it hurt!
The whole person was frozen like this, not daring to move, looking eagerly to the east.
To the east is the main building of the convention and exhibition center. The whole building has 30 floors. The 29th and 30th floors are connected. It is the famous six-star sea view restaurant. Below the restaurant is the 28th floor, so she can see it at a glance.
The situation there.
On the entire 28th floor, there was only one window with light on.
She couldn't help but be stunned. He was also working overtime tonight?
Although the work of the expo is very busy, and it is getting busier as the opening date approaches, but he is the only one on the entire floor working overtime?
What about his assistant? The lights in the assistant's office are all dark.
Why is he the only one here?
Could it be that...he was also punished?
Thinking of this, Mint's heart suddenly became uneasy. Today she rashly interrupted his meeting, which must have had a bad influence on him.
Although she knew that those who attended the meeting with him would not really dare to do anything to him, it was an indisputable fact that she had caused trouble.
Therefore, it was right for him to punish her! It was right!
But...why do you still feel a little wronged?
Thinking of this, Mint bit her lip subconsciously, feeling as if her soft heart was being stung again.
At this time, the lights on the 28th floor suddenly went out, and Guan Shouheng seemed to have finished working overtime.
Bo Min was horrified, quickly averted his gaze, moved his neck quickly, and turned around to leave.
It was already getting very late, and regardless of whether the road was under construction recently, there was no last bus at this time, so she could only take a taxi back today.
But instead of going back to the small attic tonight, she went to Nan Nan's house first, where An An was still waiting for her.
Nannan's family doesn't live close by, and if she starts from here, it's in the opposite direction. She has to walk for a while first, and then take a taxi. Otherwise, the taxi will go around in a circle and charge more.
Although she was tired and hungry now, and wished she could rush to Nannan's house for a meal right away, but in order to save money, she still had to walk a little longer.
Looking at the long street, Mint took a deep breath, feeling that he needed to replenish some energy.
There was still chocolate in the bag. She took it out and broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth. The rest was carefully wrapped and put back in her pocket.
Lin Lin usually loves to eat snacks. She is a single girl and does not have much money. She spends all her salary on eating, drinking and having fun. She never treats herself badly and only buys delicious and fun things. This chocolate is a foreign brand.
It's very pure and tastes good. She used to have so much at home that she couldn't finish it, but now, she can't bear to take another bite. She plans to take the rest back to An An.
Although An An is very much like Guan Shouheng and doesn't like to eat such sweet and greasy things, chocolate can replenish calories and eating some in moderation is good for the body.
Thinking of his son, Mint was filled with strength. He tightened his arms, held the heavy documents, and walked on the sidewalk with difficulty step by step.
Fortunately, it didn't rain tonight, so she wasn't too miserable.
There seemed to be no pedestrians on the whole street, only vehicles were driving back and forth, and the sky was very quiet.
Who said she is not miserable? She is too optimistic!
Maybe it was due to the recent road maintenance here. There were a lot of clods and stones on the sidewalk. She accidentally kicked one.
Unfortunately, she was wearing fish-mouth shoes today, and the big toe in front of her suddenly hurt terribly.
Moreover, the stone seemed to be quite sharp, and she felt as if her skin had been scratched, with a faint pain.
Not sure if there was any bleeding, she decided to go to the street lamp in front to take a look.
The originally heavy steps became even slower, and Mint walked with difficulty.
Suddenly, the sound of a car came from behind, very close.
She subconsciously turned her head to look, her eyes widening suddenly.
The familiar black Mercedes-Benz S-Class slowly parked beside her, the window slowly rolled down, and Guan Shouheng's resolute and stylish profile was revealed from the window.
"What's wrong with you? Do you need help?" He looked at her, his dark eyes as deep as ever.
"No, no, I'm fine." Mint quickly denied, not wanting him to see her in an even more embarrassed state.
Although there are street lights on both sides of the road, there is only one for several meters. The position where Bo Bo is standing is right between the two street lights, so the light is not too bright, and even Guan Shouheng cannot see clearly, but he cannot be like this
never mind.
"Get in the car." He opened the door.
"No, I'm really fine." Mint subconsciously curled up her toes, nodded politely to him, and then continued walking forward alone.
The car also continued to move forward, but it was very small, very slowly, very slowly following her.
"Get in the car!" Guan Shouheng reiterated again, his eyes looking more powerful.
Mint's heartstrings tightened, but she pretended to turn a deaf ear and didn't turn her head, let alone pay attention to him.
"I just saw something wrong with your walking posture from behind!" Guan Shouheng stared at her obviously pale face with a pair of sharp eyes.
"I'm fine!" She denied stubbornly.
"You can get in the car if you have nothing to do, and I'll take you back." Guan Shouheng insisted.
"No need!" Mint was also stubborn. After the experience of staying at his house last night, she couldn't let him drive her again, especially after so many things happened today.
She subconsciously tightened her arms. The heavy bags in her arms made her a little overwhelmed. In fact, she wanted to just take the documents out of the bag and give them to him, but this was not an office. She felt that if she did that, she would give it to others.
It gave her the impression of being resistant, so she had no choice but to endure it.
He strode forward and deliberately quickened his pace. However, his injured toe became even more painful. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
Guan Shouheng's eyes darkened as he looked at her, clearly feeling uncomfortable, but still insisting on showing off.
He drove the car slowly, slowly, slowly following her.
Mint ignored him and continued walking forward alone. It wasn't until she came under a streetlight that she lowered her head and looked at her feet.
Oops, it's really bleeding!
"I say it one last time, get in the car!" Guan Shouheng drove the car next to her and said again.
Mint was immediately embarrassed and shouted back at him as if he was a little angry, "I said no!"
She didn't know whether it was pain, anger, or something else, but she felt cramps in her chest, as if it was difficult to breathe.
A beautiful face with a slightly ferocious expression, and her face became paler, but those bright eyes were still so persistent and refused to show weakness at all.
Yes, she didn't want to show weakness, let alone turn herself into a resentful woman. She made a mistake and deserved to be punished. She didn't want to get into trouble with him, but she really couldn't face him following her like this!
Mint supported her body and continued to stride forward.
Guan Shouheng's jaw tightened very tightly. He stepped on the accelerator and the car instantly rushed out at a lightning speed.
A whirlwind-like airflow blew up the hem of Mint's skirt and ruffled her already slightly messy hair.
The car's taillights flashed, which made her feel a little dazzling.
Mint endured the pain and resolutely walked forward alone, but before she had gone too far, the sound of a car sounded behind her again, and it also honked at her.
"I said no need...Zhuoxi? Why are you..." Her voice gradually became smaller and died down.
The white Aston Martin stopped slowly, Zhuo Xi's handsome profile was revealed, and concern oozed from his clear eyes, "I know you work overtime, so I came here to pick you up."
Mint quickly adjusted her emotions, and Zhuo Xi opened the car door for her, "Get in the car, let's go pick up An An."
An'an...
Mint didn't hesitate and quickly bent down and got into the car.
The moment the car turned the corner, the black Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove back again.
Guan Shouheng looked at the familiar white Aston Martin, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
On the shelf next to the steering wheel, a box of white ointment and a few small band-aids lay quietly.
