Sihui Building is located between the East Fourth Ring Road and the East Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, adjacent to the Huitong River. It is a comprehensive commercial office building.
There are so many similar office buildings in Beijing, but the rents for office buildings within the Fourth Ring Road are often very exaggerated. For some small companies, it is simply too much to bear even if they lose all their money.
Therefore, office buildings with relatively remote locations such as Sihui Building are very popular with companies that want to save costs.
The rent is RMB 150 per square meter per month, which is definitely affordable compared to other commercial office buildings.
Taoyuan Network Company belongs to this kind of small company that makes every effort to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The company is mainly engaged in the game business, but due to the poor environment, its own financial strength is very weak, and the game products it develops are not competitive enough, so it can only survive reluctantly.
Since the efficiency is not good, of course the treatment of employees cannot be discussed. Even the salary of technical personnel is lower than the average standard in the capital. The salary of financial personnel like Sun Xiaoran is even more pitiful.
If this were not the case, Sun Xiaoran would not be thinking about finding a part-time job and trying to earn extra money.
"Xiao Ran, let's go watch a movie together tonight. The latest Marvel movie 'Venom' has pretty good reviews. I've already bought the ticket. After watching it, you can go have sushi. The restaurant you like is on sale today.
"
As soon as the off-duty time arrived, the employees of Taoyuan Network Company began to clock in one after another. A young man with a crew cut ran to Sun Xiaoran's table and said with a flattering smile on his face.
Because it is a small company, all departments work together. The so-called finance department actually only has three people in total.
A financial manager, Sun Xiaoran and another young girl who had just graduated.
Not only finance, but also the most important technical department, in fact, the main code writers are mainly fresh graduates and young people within three years of graduation.
The reason is also very simple. Such people... have the lowest salary requirements and expectations.
"I'm sorry, Lao Bi, I have an appointment tonight, please find someone else to accompany you."
Sun Xiaoran said apologetically while clearing the table.
The young man with a crew cut is named Bi Zhixue, who is the same age as Sun Xiaoran. He is a technician from Taoyuan Network Company, specializing in back-end support for games.
Basically, he joined this company at the same time as Sun Xiaoran.
Although the income is very poor among technicians, it is still much more than Sun Xiaoran.
During this period of getting along, Bi Zhixue was attracted by Sun Xiaoran, probably because of his good looks and outgoing personality.
Therefore, a month ago, the fierce pursuit began.
Although Sun Xiaoran clearly rejected Bi Zhixue's pursuit at the first opportunity, it did not dampen Bi Zhixue's enthusiasm.
At least in Bi Zhixue's view, the two have similar conditions and are very suitable.
He earns twice as much as Sun Xiaoran! Don't mention anything else, even if they just live together after falling in love, half of the rent saved is a huge amount.
Bi Zhixue didn't think that Sun Xiaoran could really resist the temptation of halving the rent after a long time, so even if Sun Xiaoran kept refusing, he was still confident in himself.
"Xiao Ran, it's just a matter of watching a movie together. It's not a big deal. Even if it's just between friends, it's okay to watch a movie together, right? You've been rejecting me for a month, and I've heard all kinds of reasons.
It’s passed, why leave no room for it?”
Bi Zhixue said with a grimace.
"Lao Bi, Xiaoran said from the beginning that she doesn't like your type, why do you have to keep pestering her? It's okay to have dinner and watch movies together among friends, but the problem is
, your mind is not pure, if Xiaoran agrees to you, God knows what you will think, right?"
Another accountant came over and hugged Sun Xiaoran's shoulders, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Ran, I really don't mean anything else. Besides, what's wrong with me at Bi Zhixue? I graduated from a key university. Although I'm not a native of the capital, my family conditions are not bad. What will happen if you try to date me?
If you really feel unsuitable, just dump me."
Bi Zhixue said with a wry smile.
"Lao Bi, I'm not looking for an excuse. I did make an appointment with someone tonight. He's already downstairs. I won't tell you to avoid making people wait any longer."
Sun Xiaoran looked at the new messages that appeared on his phone and said slightly anxiously.
At the same time, I checked in with my fingerprint, picked up my bag and walked out of the company's gate.
Bi Zhixue was stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other with the other finance girl, they clocked in at the same time and chased out.
It's just that the finance girl did it out of curiosity, while Bi Zhixue still didn't believe Sun Xiaoran.
Soon they arrived at the gate of Sihui Building. The finance girl and Bi Zhixue saw Sun Xiaoran standing in front of the gate and making a call with his mobile phone.
Immediately afterwards, a Lamborghini parked at the entrance of Sihui Building at some point, opened the scissor door coolly, and a handsome man walked out of the car, and then waved to Sun Xiaoran.
The finance girl and Bi Zhixue opened their mouths at the same time, watching in stunned silence as Sun Xiaoran walked up to the handsome man.
Then the two of them actually stood at the door of Sihui Building and started chatting?
And it seems... Sun Xiaoran is very excited?
It was time to get off work, and there were sixty or seventy companies of various sizes leasing the Sihui Building, so the flow of people leaving was extremely dense.
That Lamborghini with its scissor doors open effortlessly attracted everyone's attention.
So much so that everyone who passed by subconsciously slowed down. In just a moment, the entrance to Sihui Building became crowded.
The handsome man and Sun Xiaoran obviously realized this. They stopped chatting and got into the Lamborghini's sci-fi body. Then the scissor door closed from top to bottom, and there was a roar of the engine.
Drive away slowly...
Bi Zhixue's eyes were dull, and he stood stupidly inside the gate of Sihui Building, watching the Lamborghini disappear from his sight, unable to recover.
An expression of jealousy appeared on the little finance girl's face. She gritted her teeth and noticed that Bi Zhixue looked lost beside her. She couldn't help but mocked: "Old Bi, now you know what's wrong with you, right? You can't say anything else."
It’s useless, the key is… you have no money.”
Bi Zhixue finally came to his senses, his face turned green and white, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This kind of people must be some ignorant rich second generation! If Xiao Ran follows this kind of people, he will definitely be deceived!"
"There's nothing I can do about it. If it were me, I would be willing to be cheated. That's a Lamborghini..."
