Chapter 62 (1/2)
Chapter 62: The mysterious bouquet!
“Ah!” A scream came from the front desk rang, Du Lei Si hid behind the counter, with a panicked expression on her face: “Quickly take it away, take it away!”
The delivery guy from the florist guys held the bouquet of roses feeling very helpless, this is the third time this has happened. Every single time he came to deliver roses to Miss Du Lei Si with the very bold name, he always encounter such treatment from her.
In fact, this you can not be entirely blame Du Lei Si, if you need someone to take the blame, blame it on the mysterious person who has nothing better to do than to send bouquet of roses to her.
Before, if it weren’t for the pollen from the bouquet of roses causing her to have an allergic reaction, would she for no particular reason run off to the locker room to change her clothes?? If she didn’t go to the locker room, would she be followed by the President?? If it weren’t because of the President, would she be kissed confusingly and disoriently in the locker room, and even……
Thinking to this point, her face blushed red once again.
Excessive, truly too excessive!
Watching Du Lei Si’s face suddenly change from pale to scarlet, the flower delivery guy said: “Miss, if you don’t accept it, it’ll be very difficult for me to tell explain to my boss!” It’s not easy coming out to society to earn money, why must this female worker make things hard for him a young male worker?
“Don’t, don’t come over!” Du Lei Si anxiously shouted, she pointed her finger to Long Xiao Hua on the side, “Give it to her, give it to her instead!”
“Lei Si, it’s not very good to do things this way, right?” Long Xiao Hua who have taken three days worth of roses was starting to feel embarra.s.s, “Regardless these roses are sent to you as a gift, that person also has good intentions, you should just……”
“I don’t want it!” Du Lei Si shouted like a slaughtered pig, “Xiao Hua, take pity on me this hay fever patient! In my next life I’ll work like a horse for you, please take it away!”
She has already spoken in such a way, Long Xiao Hua could only heave a sigh: Taking the bouquet of roses from the flower delivery. Alas, the morals of the world is really strange, the person who received roses didn’t want to accept them, yet a person like her who wants to receive flowers, no one was willing to send them! Life is so bitter ah!
While Long Xiao Hua was lamenting, she walked into the office with the bouquet of roses, carelessly without looking she b.u.mped into a certain person wearing a face filled with woes.
“I’m sorry Jason, I didn’t notice you!” Long Xiao Hua busily tried to apologize.
“It’s okay.” Jason said, suddenly his eyes landed on the bouquet of roses in her hands, “Oh? You’re boyfriend gifted you those?”
“How could it be!” Long Xiao Hua said with a frustration, “Other’s didn’t want it so gave them to me!”
“Receiving roses and still didn’t want them?”
“Yeah! It’s your cousin Du Lei Si ah! She said something about having hay fever, simply insisting to give the roses to me, I have already received the three days worth of roses! Balabalabala……”
Next whatever Long Xiao Hua said, Jason did not listen to it, because his depressed brain have finally began to quickly jolt up with ideas.
Ever since the previous time Du Lei Si threaten him to sent the visitor’s list in her place, the President have bear a grudge against him, occasionally he (Lian Jun) would blurt out the word “Uncle” to frighten him, he is an almost forty-year old man, if things continue this way he will advance into menopause! For the sake of his own health. Jason decided to become a villain.
If the President found that another man was trying to pursue his wife, he will put all of his attention on the matter, then he (Jason) wouldn’t have to live his days on tenterhooks!
Haha, this is a great idea!
So Jason wasted no time and ran to the President’s office, in front Lian Jun who was going through files, he made a tip-off. After finis.h.i.+ng his report, he eagerly looked at Lian Jun with antic.i.p.ation: Erupt President!!
It was a long time before Lian Jun slowly raised his head, and calmly said: “Uncle, I know.”
……
Jason hung his head as he left the President’s, originally he wanted to divert the President’s attention, he did not expect the President to be so confident on his own charms, he didn’t even asked a single sentence regarding the issue, it seems like he this “Uncle” role will continue for a long period of time.
After Jason left, Lian Jun finished looking through all the files, then he neither fast nor slow made a call.
“Pres…… President!?”
After a loud yell, the entire front desk suddenly became very quiet, everyone was trying to perk up their ears to listen to the conversation.
“President, hel……lo! What can I do for you?” Xiao w.a.n.g’s expression was overwhelmed by an unexpected favour, her hands were trembling.
“What’s wrong with him?” Du Lei Si asked Long Xiao Hua.
(So apparently Xiao w.a.n.g is male, I thought he was a “she”)
“You don’t know? President Lian has always been Xiao w.a.n.g’s idol, allegedly even his computer background is set with President Lian’s photos.”
Xiao w.a.n.g and Lian Jun?? Du Lei Si could not help but feel a burst of chills.
“It’s strange that President Lian recently seems to be very concerned about our front desk,” Long Xiao Hua mumbled to herself.
“Is it?” Du Lei Si suddenly felt a bit guilty.
“Yes, President’s Lian work is usually very hectic. I’ve heard that he doesn’t even have time to go home.”
Du Lei Si was slightly embarra.s.sed for a moment, clearly everyday he returns home promptly to torture her!
“It couldn’t be that exaggerated……” She said sheepishly.
“What exaggerated? I’m telling you, the current business elites, most of them are workaholics, aged thirty or forty years old who have yet to wed a wife, they are also considered as a diamond bachelor. Actually everything is a lie to deceive young girls, for them their work is everything, whoever marries them will have misfortune upon them! Lei Si, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Du Lei Si wiped her sweat, “I suddenly feel fated to this misfortune feeling……”
Her sentence wasn’t finished when Xiao w.a.n.g suddenly rushed over.
“Xiao Du, phone…… phone call” Xiao w.a.n.g’s facial expression contain joys doped with a little excitement, within those excitement there was a mixture of some panic, seeing this made Du Lei Si shudder with fear.
“Who is it?” She asked.
“The President!”
Du Lei Si’s heart slightly trembled in fear.
When she answered the phone call, she could feel the shooting glazes from all sides, even Su Mali who pa.s.sed by stop to observing the situation.
“h.e.l.lo.” She said softly.
“Are you accustomed to your work yet?”
“It’s all right……”
“Did you eat yet?”
“I have just eaten……”
“In the evening, let’s go home together.”
“Okay……”
“Okay, I’m hanging up.”
“En……”
Then the “beep…… beep……” sounds came from the phone, Du Lei Si who still held onto the phone has turned into a statue.
It was clear that the President intentionally make that phone call to embarra.s.s her. These sort of things, he could have sent her a text message or even asked her at home. However, he chose to call the reception and say these on the company’s phone, causing all those who were unaware of the truth to set their eyes on her. Those naked eyes was what you call…… murdering a person with a borrowed knife!
Sure enough, not long after all her colleagues rushed over, especially Xiao w.a.n.g, with an urgent expression he asked: “Xiao Du, what did the President say to you?”
“That’s right! What did he say? Quickly tell us!” Those besides her all said in unison.
Du Lei Si was embarra.s.sed, she couldn’t tell them that the President called to asked whether she had dinner, right?
“President Lian called to…… get an understanding of new employees’ working conditions!”
“No that can’t be right,” the crowd burst as if they were in a pot of hot frying oil, “why didn’t I receive a call from the President when I first entered in the company?”
“Yes that’s right, this is also very strange! Xiao Du, could it be you and President Lian previously known each other beforehand?”
“That’s impossible!” Du Lei Si anxiously said, “you guys should stop making…… disorderly guesses. In fact, President Lian…… he’s actually…… actually is randomly selecting employees to conduct some surveys!” She managed to find an excuse and started to add inflammatory details to start adding the tr.i.m.m.i.n.gs as she explained herself, saying a coincidence became a probability, from a probability to came down to one’s luck, to finally she firmly draw a conclusion that President Lian picked her because her name is special, just one glance at her he decided to pick her!
“I understand!” Xiao w.a.n.g said as he patted his head, “if I was called w.a.n.g bai[1], the President would have called me instead!”
[1] 王八 means turtle the w.a.n.g in turtle is the same character is the w.a.n.g in 小王 Xiao w.a.n.g.
Xiao w.a.n.g, you finally spoke the truth! Du Lei Si was so excited that her face was almost filled with streaks of tears.
This horror of the episode eventually didn’t set off big waves due to Du Lei Si’s wits, however that day when Du Lei Si returned home, she became very depressed.
She deeply felt that if she continues to do things sneakily, eventually she will have schizophrenia.
“You don’t have to wait for me tomorrow, I can go home by bus,” She said.
“Why?” Lian Jun calmly asked.
