Chapter 207 "A Day of Overtime" (Part 2)
Shu Mei gently knocked on the door. Qin Jue, who was busy, failed to notice the subtle movement at first. He didn't react until the next time. His face covered with sweat was filled with surprise, and he opened the door to greet her.
The young clerk and the girl at the front desk met each other's eyes, with obvious joy in each other's eyes.
Qin Jue's eyes shone with anticipation and happiness. She shook subconsciously when she took the takeaway lunch box. A few drops of soup splashed onto her clothes, making her face look annoyed and embarrassed.
Shu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, handing out a handkerchief from her pocket. Qin Jue hurriedly put the lunch box back on the narrow desk, not forgetting to sort the messy documents together first. After doing all this, she rushed Looking back at Shu Mei, her face was filled with heat. I don't know if it was because of her fast heartbeat or her eager movements.
She stretched out her hand, touched her fingertips, and retracted it as if she was electrocuted, bringing back the handkerchief with the girl's body temperature in her palm.
Shu Mei's shy expression revealed the tenderness unique to women, a little loving, a little funny, just looking at it softly.
The phone call at the front desk broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the embarrassment, and the two of them were startled at the same time - such a synchronized reaction seemed to bring them closer - Shu Mei turned back with red ears, Qin Jue looked at her From his back, he had a silly smile and some confidence that he was determined to win, as if he had gained some courage.
At this point in the performance, the audience can already tell that the clerk played by Qin Jue is in love with the beautiful receptionist girl, and the girl should also have the same feelings for him. This is a two-way secret love story.
Careful people have already noticed the "prohibition of office romance" in the regulations, and are guessing whether the ending will be that the young man confesses, the girl accepts, and the stern boss is moved by love and treats them leniently.
The more careful ones focused on the less obvious ring mark. Could it be that the girl at the front desk is a married woman and is deliberately hiding it? If this is the case, wouldn’t the girl have two feet in the same boat, and it would be too miserable for the clerk who has a crush on her?
Under various speculations, the performance on stage continued.
Qin Jue hadn't even taken two bites of his delayed lunch when he was called around again by Liang Chenglei.
She was like a fast-moving machine, extremely busy. And in this busy work, her expression of cherishing and touching the cold meal, wishing she could chew every bite slowly, was even more vivid, reminding the audience of herself who worked overtime and those things that were buried deep in their memories. A secret love story.
The minute hand of the clock moved half a circle, and at 1:30 in the afternoon, Mr. Li of Haofeng Graphics, played by Li Zhi, appeared from the side of the stage.
Shu Mei stood up to greet him and led him in with a friendly smile. Qin Jue immediately took over the reception work, welcomed Li Zhi to Liang Chenglei's office, and skillfully prepared coffee for two people.
When Shu Mei left, she looked at Qin Jue reluctantly. The two looked at each other, but they didn't notice that Li Zhi, who was about to enter the door, looked back and smiled knowingly.
The part of the manager's office on the far right side of the set that is illuminated by the spotlight is a little brighter, in this way hinting to the audience where the key points of the plot are.
Liang Chenglei and Li Zhi talked about work. During this rare breathing time, Qin Jue sometimes sat down and sometimes stood up. He hesitated and looked in the direction of the front desk. He took two steps forward, but the door was like a thick door. The estrangement weakened her courage.
Confess quickly! !
Some viewers were anxious to death.
That woman is not a good person! Wake up! !
Another part of the audience was also anxious to death.
The phone rang again, and Qin Jue moaned in despair, only half a sound, because her body had returned to the desk and picked up the phone receiver.
There was even a loud cry of regret from the audience.
It’s all this damn overtime!
How can a working dog have time to fall in love? Mad!
Qin Jue's voice gradually became softer when he answered the phone, while Liang Chenglei and Li Zhi's voices became louder.
"...Old Liang, after all these years, you are still so principled."
Li Zhi looked at the photo frame on the high-end desk, feeling a little helpless.
"Love is love, and work is work." Liang Chenglei pointed his finger at the table and said with a serious smile, "People can't be carried away by emotions!"
Hey guys, is this line a metaphor? Did the clerk next door take an arrow in the knee?
The audience complained in their hearts.
"I know, I know-"
Li Zhi seemed to have an old relationship with him, and smiled in the tone of an old friend, "Are you still brooding about what happened back then?"
From the brief and informative conversation between the two of them, the audience learned that Liang Chenglei had messed up a big project because he was eager to keep an appointment and quietly left early. Since then, he has learned his lesson and is very principled. Even if he misses it again My wife and children never turn on my mobile phone during working hours.
When Li Zhi, his good friend for many years, heard about this incident, he suggested that Liang Chenglei put a photo on the table to relieve the pain of missing him.
Li Zhi, who is righteous and likes to tease his friends, and Liang Chenglei, who is rigid on the surface but is dedicated and affectionate. In these short two minutes, the two people's images are very three-dimensional.
"Stop talking about this." Liang Chenglei seemed a little embarrassed, interrupted Li Zhi's teasing, and said loudly, "Xiao Qin!"
"exist!"
Qin Jue was obviously still typing frantically, and when she heard the word "Xiao Qin", it was like an emergency reflex. She answered loudly almost as soon as the boss finished speaking.
"Call Shu Mei." Liang Chenglei said.
"Ah, okay, okay!"
Qin Jue was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately became happy and took this fair and aboveboard permission to see her beloved girl.
"Um... Liang, Mr. Liang asked you to go to the office."
She put her hand against the door, with a smile that was just right, a mix of nervousness and joy.
Shu Mei's eyes lit up visibly, filled with joyful stars. She hurriedly walked through Qin Jue's narrow office with some anxiety. When she passed by, she glanced at her collar again and smiled.
No...
Even Yue Yang's expression was a little weird.
Could it be that this is a plot about feeding people with sugar? The clerk has a crush on the receptionist, but the receptionist is hooking up with the boss?
Some viewers grew nervous.
Could it be that the boss discovered the affection between the two and wanted to call the girl over to warn her?
Or is Mr. Li going to report their relationship to his boss?
Shu Mei stood in the manager's office with some restraint. In this set, the manager's desk is placed vertically. Liang Chenglei and Li Zhi opposite are facing the audience. After Shu Mei comes in, they just face the audience seat. The composition is reasonable and clear.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is our front desk, her name is Shu Mei." Liang Chenglei said with a smile, "The little girl is quick to do things and has strong professional skills."
Li Zhi looked at Shu Mei in surprise, as if he understood something, shook his head and smiled.
"You——"
While he was smiling and talking to Liang Chenglei, Qin Jue was sorting out information restlessly.
She was holding a stack of printed A4 paper in her hand, but her body was tilted, just like Tom Cat in the classic animation "Tom and Jerry", with her ears barely touching the wall.
"The performance is excellent and the people are motivated." Liang Chenglei continued, "If you think it is suitable, I will transfer to your company."
What?
The expressions of the audience and Qin Jue were dull at the same time.
Is the front desk girl going to be transferred?
