"Sister Xingruo, don't be nervous, it's only half past eight."
"How dare you say that! It's already half past eight!"
After working for so long, it was the first time that Li Xingruo went out so late. He usually went out at eight-twenty. When he came back to his senses, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He pulled Lin Lu after getting out of the elevator.
Jog outside.
Lin Lu didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, he was still enjoying the feeling of being held by his sister's wrist. If I remember correctly, this was the first time that his sister took the initiative to hold his wrist, right?
My sister is really nice. Even if she is almost late, she never forgets to pull him along.
"Hey? Sister Xingruo, where are you going?"
"It's at the gate of the community!"
"Aren't you going to work on the Star Road?"
"...Yes."
I was so anxious that I forgot about the two of them and the Star Road number.
The siblings quickly walked to the carport where the electric vehicles were parked. Lin Lu unloaded the Xinglu No., and Li Xingruo cooperated tacitly to help move some electric vehicles that were not arranged and blocked the road.
"Sister Xingruo, do you drive or should I drive?"
"Open up."
Li Xingruo was still self-aware. Time was tight now, so she let Lin Lu drive at work and she would drive again after get off work.
"Put on the helmet. We'll check it during the day." Lin Lu handed the helmet to her.
"Put your backpack in front of you." Li Xingruo patted the backpack behind him that was in the way.
Lin Lu hung his backpack in front of him, and his sister also got on the electric car. She held his waist with both hands and patted him twice as if he was riding a horse. Lin Lu started the electric car smoothly and turned smoothly.
He made a turn and drove out of the community, then onto the road.
The bus they usually took just arrived at the stop and was crowded with passengers. They started slowly. The two siblings easily passed the bus. It was the first time they took different means of transportation to go to work. Li Xingruo felt very excited and even looked back.
The bus behind him looked proud.
"Fortunately, we have the Star Road, otherwise we would definitely be late." Li Xingruo said with a sigh of relief.
"I shouldn't be late. Even if I take the bus, it only takes four stops. I can catch up when I leave at 8:30."
"It sounds like you are inexperienced!"
"Sister Xingruo is inexperienced, right? I've taken so many buses, and it only takes ten minutes at most to reach four stops."
"Idiot, you think that you have arrived at the company when you arrive at Huajiang Building. You will know later when you see how many people are queuing in the elevator!"
Rushing to go to work, the siblings had no time to ride around on their electric scooters. They arrived at Huajiang Building around 8:45. Lin Lu parked the scooter, and Li Xingruo pulled him and hurriedly went inside the building.
Trot over.
It wasn't until he walked into the lobby on the first floor that Lin Lu finally understood why his sister was in such a hurry - it coincided with the peak work hours at nine o'clock, and even though there were many elevators in this Grade A office building, there was still a queue.
There was a long queue, and there were building staff at the elevator entrance helping to divert traffic and maintain order.
When he was a student, Lin Lu rarely experienced the rush hour that social animals often call him. For students, being late occasionally would only mean a few words from Li Datou, but for social animals, that was...
The money is deducted in a clear way!
When people face the same amount of gains and losses, the losses are more intolerable than the gains. The perfect attendance award essentially uses loss aversion. From a psychological level, it makes the social animals feel that the perfect attendance money already belongs to them. If
Taking a day off, or being late once, for the workers, not only loses a day's wages, but also loses the perfect attendance bonus, which becomes very uncomfortable.
Li Xingruo has been working for four months and has figured out the rules of the elevator queue. Although the queue is very long, she is slightly relieved and estimates that she should be able to clock in at the company before nine o'clock.
"come here."
Li Xingruo pulled Lin Lu to the back of a relatively long queue.
"Why don't you line up over there? It looks shorter there."
Lin Lu raised his chin and pointed at the shorter team over there.
"That's an elevator for all floors. There's only one elevator. Although it's shorter on the other side, it's actually slower. It stops on the 30th to 45th floors."
"What about here on the left? People seem to be entering faster."
"The one on the far left is from the 1st to the 15th floor, and then the 15th to 30th floors. When you come to our place, my sister tells you, you must remember, don't get on the wrong elevator, otherwise you won't get there.
floor, you’ll have to wait again!”
Li Xingruo told him with a serious face that this was a lesson she had learned through hard work. After all, the queue was very long. A newcomer would not know which team corresponds to which elevator. After waiting in line for a long time, she found that she had boarded the wrong elevator.
The mood makes me want to die.
"So experienced, Sister Xingruo, did you miss the elevator?"
"...How, how is it possible? I just saw that someone got on the wrong elevator. I was afraid that you were so stupid and got on the wrong elevator!"
A sister who wants to save face would not tell him that when she first came to work, she had to wait in line for the 15th to 30th floor. She didn’t even know it. When she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 36th floor, she found that she couldn’t press the button for the 36th floor.
Liang, a kind person next to her reminded her that the elevator could only go to the 15th to 30th floor during peak hours. Looking at the slightly pitiful eyes of passers-by, the little girl who had just entered society blushed with embarrassment.
, after reaching the 30th floor, she waited for two more elevators, only to find that they were full of people, so she had to run six floors up from the corridor. The first time she went to work was also the most embarrassing and the closest she came to being late.
No one is born with a thorough understanding, but they only become mature and sensible through repeated lessons.
Queuing is a very torturous thing. Uncertainty will amplify the pressure of waiting. Without exception, the social animals waiting to get on the elevator are frequently checking the time, or looking at their own team, the teams around them, and occasionally themselves.
If the team you choose is faster, you will feel very happy, but when you see other teams that are faster, you will feel a lot of pressure and feel that you have chosen the wrong team. But every time you change teams, the original team becomes faster, and the new team becomes faster.
The team is as slow as ants crawling, but it can really make people want to start a war.
Although Lin Lu didn't worry about perfect attendance, nor did he care about being late for a few minutes, what he cared about was his sister. He didn't want Li Xingruo to be late, so he also became concerned about time and felt the same pressure.
Seeing that he was a little nervous, Li Xingruo turned around and comforted him: "It's okay. It's your first day at work. It doesn't matter if you're a little late. And we'll definitely catch up."
Lin Lu was moved and wanted to laugh after hearing this, and said softly: "Sister Xingruo, didn't you see? I'm afraid you'll be late."
"Huh, little brat, take care of yourself first. Sister, you don't need to worry."
"I'll give you a shoulder squeeze."
"No, I'm embarrassed to be seen if there are colleagues I know around me."
Li Xingruo didn't lie to him. There were indeed a few colleagues who knew her around, and they all saw her. However, after all, they were queuing up and didn't come over to say hello. Instead, he saw Li Xingruo talking and laughing with a tall boy behind him.
A few colleagues were a little surprised.
Although Li Xingruo is the prettiest and youngest girl in the company, she looks quite aloof on weekdays. Apart from work exchanges, she has never been seen chatting and laughing like this with anyone of the opposite sex.
Moreover, she has never seen the boy behind her before. After all, if you have seen such a handsome boy, you will definitely be impressed by it. This boy also looks very young, with a straight waist, a lively face, and a certain kind of personality.
He has a slightly cold artistic atmosphere, and his clothes are no different from those of ordinary office workers. This temperament is in his bones, and his age is hard to tell. He should be about the same age as Li Xingruo, maybe a little younger than her...
Just when he was curious, he saw this boy put his hands affectionately on the shoulders of his colleague Li Xingruo, who was "cold, serious, and kept away from strangers", and gave her a gentle squeeze.
I thought that my colleague Li Xingruo, who was "cold, serious, and should not approach strangers" would be angry because of this and would slap away his overstepping hands. However, instead of moving away, Li Xingruo looked like he was enjoying himself and just turned his head.
, she rolled her eyes at him with a hint of coquettishness, as if she couldn't do anything to him, and allowed him to gently squeeze her shoulders.
This scene shocked the colleagues who knew Li Xingruo. They rubbed their eyes and thought they were dazzled for a moment, but it actually happened.
Oh my God! What is the relationship between this handsome boy and Xingruo?!
Fortunately, the sensible brother was considerate of his sister and saw that she was really nervous and shy, so he calmed down and gently squeezed her shoulder twice before retracting his hand.
Li Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have the nerve to look at the colleagues around him. He just thought they were nothing. Anyway, it didn't matter if his brother squeezed his sister's shoulders. Just now, his brother hugged his sister intimately.
Ten minutes later, the long queue finally came to an end, and Li Xingruo and Lin Lu successfully got on the elevator.
After all, it is a Grade A office building, and the space in the elevator is spacious. Many people came in. Perhaps because of the closeness between Li Xingruo and Lin Lu, passers-by who did not know the siblings thought they were lovers, and they were all too sensible.
Too close to two people.
Yuedian owns a two-story office building in Huajiang Building. There are several people who came up now who are from the same company. However, Li Xingruo doesn’t even know her, but many people in the same company know her. After all, she is a good-looking girl.
There are always many people asking about it.
After meeting Lin Lu now, those colleagues who had asked her if she was single also understood, and regretfully retracted their unrealistic thoughts. Apart from anything else, Lin Lu's handsomeness and
Their special temperament makes people feel that the siblings are a perfect match.
"Then when you go to the company, do you need to go through the entry procedures or something?" In the elevator, Li Xingruo turned around and asked him quietly.
"I don't know. My dad asked me to go to the HR department first. The HR department will make arrangements." Lin Lu also leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.
Perhaps this was the depressing atmosphere in the office. No one was talking in the elevator. The siblings were too embarrassed to speak loudly, so they could only bite each other's ears.
This makes the passers-by in the elevator feel even more sad, thinking about how miserable they are, squeezing into subways, buses, and queuing up to take the elevator to work. It’s no big deal that their wages are low, but they don’t even have anyone to bite each other’s ears in the elevator!
"Then do you want to have dinner with your dad at noon?"
"If you don't eat with him, why don't you eat with you and order takeout?"
"Let's wait until we get off work at noon. I'll take you out to eat."
"good."
"you arrived."
The door on the thirty-fifth floor opened. Lin Lu pulled the backpack on his shoulder, patted his sister's shoulder, and followed a few people who got off the elevator to come out.
He was not in a hurry to leave. He walked out the door and turned around to look back. The elevator door was closed. Li Xingruo was standing at the door, his hands hanging ladylikely in front of him, and he secretly gave him a thumbs up, which meant "come on, come on."
The elevator went up another floor, the door opened, Li Xingruo walked out quickly, took out his cell phone and looked at the time, eight fifty-six.
Enter the company and check in with facial recognition.
[Dip, Li Xingruo, good morning, attendance has been confirmed]
After punching in the card, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and saved the two hundred yuan.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you are a little late this time. The company is quite conscientious and allows three late arrivals of less than ten minutes within a month. Li Xingruo has never used it once.
Normally when she arrived, there were not many people at the work station. Now most of them had already arrived. Those who were supposed to have breakfast had breakfast, and those who needed to fetch water were fetching water.
Master Yu Cheng has also arrived and is currently eating steamed buns. He opens his computer to deal with the messages sent by the author on QQ, such as so-and-so's chapter has been blocked again.
Li Xingruo's workstation was right next to Yu Cheng. He pulled up his chair and said hello to his master: "Good morning, Sister Yu."
"Good morning, Xiaoruo."
"What are you doing, Sister Yu?"
"This pudding pig is so annoying. He drives all day long and gets stuck in three days and two days. I won't care about him next time."
"Haha, no wonder I said I didn't watch the Pudding Pig update last night."
Li Xingruo also laughed and came over to watch his master Yu Cheng at work. Yu Cheng was also very attentive to this apprentice. He taught the work process carefully, including which works can be signed, which works can become popular, and how
She teaches her about analyzing background data, what hot topics are currently popular, etc.
This good apprentice also lived up to her intentions. Although he didn't understand anything at first, he learned quickly and worked very seriously. Although he didn't become a full-time editor because he hadn't officially graduated yet, he was already a qualified editor.
Among the books she had previously recommended for signing, two of them have reached 10,000 orders, which shows that this little girl still has a good market vision.
If you think about it carefully, in the past four months, my master has been squeezed dry by this obedient disciple. There are not many young people who are so studious and serious about progress and don't mind the low salary.
Li Xingruo was chatting with his master when Sister Yun from the next group also arrived. After all, Li Xingruo was young. Although Master Yu Cheng and this Sister Yun were both in their thirties, she also called her sister affectionately.
"Good morning, Sister Yun."
"Xiao Ruozao, when we were queuing just now, the handsome guy behind you was your boyfriend?"
"..."
Li Xingruo's pretty face turned red, and she was indeed misunderstood.
After a while, she nodded shyly: "Yes, yes."
Master Yu Cheng, who was eating steamed buns, turned to look at her in disbelief;
Colleagues in the same group or in other groups, who saw or did not see the handsome boy, but heard the conversation between Li Xingruo and Sister Yun, were shocked and turned to look at her;
For the first time, Li Xingruo felt that his heartbeat could be so fast in a company.
Lin Lu, Lin Lu! Don’t blame your sister! Isn’t my brother born to be used by my sister? He can be used as a shield for me!
She pretended to be calm, pulled her hair around her ears, and repeated:
