At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Lin rubbed her eyes that were extremely tired from reviewing documents on the computer for a long time, and stretched out while sitting at her workstation.
Then she turned around and looked at the woman next to her, her eyes a little lost.
The woman was looking at the screen intently, proofreading the punctuation marks line by line with great care.
Her skin is extremely white, without any blemishes, almost transparent under the light, and her smooth black hair is spread over her shoulders.
The eyelashes are very long and hang straight down, the nose is straight, the beautiful pale pink lips are slightly pursed, the thin white neck is covered with a light blue shirt, and the whole body exudes a fresh and soft bookish atmosphere.
The new colleagues are really eye-catching...
Jiang Lin sighed silently in her heart, and her mood became much better due to work.
This new colleague just joined the company last month.
It didn't take long for the entire company to know that a beautiful woman had come to the book editing department, and people from other departments came to take a peek.
She has a delicate appearance, but is not aggressive at all. She speaks softly and always has a smile on her lips. She is like the Bai Yueguang school beauty imagined in her student days. She is a type that can be appreciated by both men and women of all ages.
Jiang Lin gently poked Mingyao's arm.
"Mingyao, we're going to order milk tea for takeout. Do you want to have a cup too?"
"Okay." Mingyao turned his head and smiled at her.
Ah, the sound is nice too.
Jiang Lin approached her with her mobile phone, "What do you want to drink?"
"Well...let's take a look...I want this..."
Mingyao chose a cup of lemon tea with ice, and then transferred the money to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin stared blankly at the ring on her thin white finger.
"Mingyao, you... are married?"
"um, yes."
Mingyao smiled faintly.
Jiang Lin blinked, feeling very curious about her husband, but she was afraid that asking too many questions would annoy others, so she had to suppress her curiosity for the time being and return to her seat to continue working.
Mingyao finished proofreading a document, leaned back in his chair and put a few drops of eye drops into his eyes.
After moving out of her original house, she first lived in a hotel for a few days, and then asked an agency to find a small house to rent. Since she was alone, her requirements were not high, as long as the transportation convenience and surrounding safety were guaranteed. Enough.
After settling into her life, she started looking for a new job non-stop.
Although there was a period of blank experience, her academic qualifications were not bad, she was good at foreign languages, read a lot, and had a junior editor qualification certificate. She passed the interview smoothly and joined this medium-sized publishing house.
After this period of time, she is quite satisfied with the job.
Although it is a bit boring, you only need to communicate with books and don't have to deal with too many people. There is less pressure and less overtime. The relationship between colleagues is friendly and there is no intrigue.
The disadvantage is that the salary is not high, but Mingyao's life is simple and she can't spend much money a month. What's more... Huo Yan also left her a large amount of property, so she is not short of money.
After today's task was completed and it was almost time to get off work, Mingyao packed up his belongings.
The phone screen lit up, and the manager of the editorial department in the group sent a message.
A book just published by their publishing house was on the best-seller list on the website and was reprinted several times, so the department decided to hold a dinner party to celebrate.
The atmosphere in the company suddenly became lively.
"Mingyao, let's go and have barbecue together!"
Jiang Lin happily picked up her crossbody bag and greeted her.
Mingyao didn't really want to go, but she was a newcomer and didn't want to appear too independent and ruin the atmosphere, so she nodded and agreed.
The restaurant for the dinner is in a large chain barbecue restaurant, with booths and private rooms.
People from the company had reserved seats in advance, and everyone found a seat to sit down. Drinkers poured drinks, and they gathered in groups of twos and threes to talk, discussing the latest TV series and celebrity gossip.
Mingyao holds the orange juice and drinks it silently.
A person sat down next to her. Mingyao turned around and saw that it seemed to be a manager in the book marketing department. His name was Pang Guanghao, whom he had met during the interview.
"Can you still adapt to the company during this period?" He asked Mingyao with a smile.
"...It's okay." Mingyao nodded politely, picked up the chopsticks and started eating the side dishes.
Pang Guanghao raised his eyebrows, his eyes scanning Mingyao from top to bottom, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
His family has a little money, but he has never had a girlfriend in these years because he is a beauty lover and has very high standards.
He had seen many beauties before, but most of those women had a arrogant attitude, like a princess, as if all the men in the world had to surround her and listen to her orders. He didn't want to be a licking dog.
But Mingyao is different.
Her temperament is fresh and elegant, her face is plain, and her clothes are all ordinary brands. At first glance, she looks like an IKEA woman.
He is just a little shy, but this kind of personality is better. He is so good at socializing with all-round women that he doesn't trust him.
He flipped his hair, revealing the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch on his wrist.
"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Pang Guanghao asked diligently, while leaning towards Mingyao.
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Mingyao waved his hand and turned to the other side.
Pang Guanghao's eyes couldn't help but fall on her ring, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He had seen the ring on her hand before, but he did not believe that she was married, thinking that it was just an excuse for her to use to prevaricate others.
In the past half month, he had never seen anyone come to pick her up from get off work. She always walked alone.
If he had such a beautiful wife, he wouldn't be able to trust her just to go to work.
His sticky and explicit gaze made Mingyao feel a little uncomfortable. Mingyao got up and went to the bathroom.
She lingered in the bathroom for a while, then walked from the aisle to the store entrance and stayed in a daze for a while.
Looking at this bustling street, Mingyao suddenly remembered that she had been here before.
That was when I first started dating Huo Yan.
They had dined nearby and took a walk in the street afterward.
At that time, they were carefree and free from illness and pain. They were holding hands and filled with joy. They only felt that the future would last forever...
Mingyao's nose felt sour, her heart felt like a knife, and endless bitterness and pain surged into her heart.
He pressed his fingers hard on his face, turned around and returned to the store, said hello to Jiang Lin and the people in his department, picked up his coat and bag and prepared to leave early.
When she walked out of the door, there were rapid footsteps behind her, and her bag strap was yanked with such force that Mingyao was forced to turn her head.
"Mingyao, where do you live? I'll take you back!"
Pang Guanghao raised his chin and looked at her with squinted eyes, his face turned red, and a strong smell of alcohol hit his face.
Mingyao looked at him in astonishment.
"Don't worry, I have a car and can call a driver."
Looking at Mingyao's delicate and pure face, Pang Guanghao felt itchy and wanted to marry her home immediately.
He took two steps forward, his energy became high after drinking, and he wanted to take Mingyao to take a look at the new car he just picked up.
With a roar, a black Maybach stopped in front of them. Its smooth lines and bright body were shining, attracting attention like a work of art.
Pang Guanghao looked at the yellow license plate and was stunned.
The window in the back seat slowly lowered, and a cold and indifferent face was revealed. He glanced over with sharp eyes.
