Xu Xiaowei woke up in the bed in the rental house as usual, but the difference today was that she opened her eyes and touched her neck as soon as possible.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the neck is not broken."
Last night, the big boss's rough hand was on her neck, and she felt that he could break her neck bones at any time with a strong force.
Moreover, the heavy touch of his hands on her neck lasted until she fell asleep, so that she felt as if she was being strangled in her dreams.
Xu Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief, got up to wash up, changed her clothes, ate a few slices of bread, then packed her bag and went out.
O'Brien Group Building, 5th Floor, International Trade Department.
As soon as Xu Xiaowei sat down, her colleague Maureen slid over in her wheeled push chair and asked: "Weiwei, why did you just take your handbag and leave when you came back from the bathroom yesterday? I wanted to call you but it was too late."
She also wanted to introduce some handsome guys from other departments that she had just met to Weiwei.
Weiwei, a homebody, doesn’t even socialize after get off work, so that’s not good.
Xu Xiaowei said: "I, I didn't feel well last night, so I wanted to go home and rest first."
"Are you feeling unwell? Did you drink alcohol?" Maureen looked at Xu Xiaowei's expression with concern, "Oh, look how bad your face is, are you so uncomfortable that you can't sleep? I have some hangover medicine, do you want some? ?”
Xu Xiaowei pushed away the pills handed over by Maureen and shook her head: "Thank you. I feel much better after a good sleep. I can recover after drinking some hot water."
Maureen put away the pills, looked at Xu Xiaowei holding the steaming boiled water, and shrugged.
Then he added: "You Chinese people's boiled water is really all-purpose. Last time you were not feeling well during your menstrual period. You said you would just drink some hot water and it would be fine."
Is boiled water really so magical? More powerful than painkillers and hangover pills?
After Maureen moved her chair back to her seat, Xu Xiaowei eagerly opened her corporate email and kept refreshing it. When she didn't see the notice of dismissal, she felt a little relieved.
The big boss wouldn't be angry because she rejected him and left him and ran away, right?
Mr. O'Brien's violent appearance last night is still vivid in my mind. Although he looks elegant, gentle and handsome, who would have thought that he has two faces, a gentle gentleman one second, and a thug in a suit the next. With a violent temperament and cruel behavior, he looked like a devil from hell.
Xu Xiaowei shuddered and continued to refresh her mailbox to see if the man would punish her by firing her directly.
"Weiwei!"
Jeff, the department leader, waved to Xu Xiaowei.
Xu Xiaowei was nervous.
What does Jeff want with her? Could it be that the big boss is really angry? Want to fire her and make it impossible for her to live in Ireland?
Walking up to Jeff, Xu Xiaowei asked: "Jeff, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Weiwei, how was your anniversary last night? Did you recognize any good boys from other departments?"
"No."
Xu Xiaowei bit her lower lip.
The first thing she thought of was Sean O'Brien kissing her roughly, holding her, and choking her.
Jeff looked at Xu Xiaowei's blushing face and thought she had someone he liked. He smiled and said: "Don't be shy. If you like someone, just be brave and follow Maureen's example. I saw she asked for several people's numbers last night. Weiwei, at your age you should have a good relationship."
Xu Xiaowei looked at Jeff who was a little serious and said, "Actually, team leader, you asked me to come here?"
"It's okay, let's just chat together. I also talked to Maureen. One of my responsibilities is to understand the lives and emotions of the team members to prevent the team members' emotions from affecting the work.
Weiwei, if you meet someone you like and don’t know what to do, you can ask Maureen. If Maureen doesn’t know how to solve it, you can ask me and other experienced colleagues in the team. It doesn’t matter. "
Jeff seemed to be talking. He pointed to his Irish colleague Pat, who was printing documents in front of the printer not far away, "I was the one who brokered the marriage between Pat and her wife."
After he finished, he pointed to Susan, who was in her thirties, and said, "And Susan, I introduced her boyfriend."
Xu Xiaowei looked at the old-looking Jeff, raised her forehead and asked, "Jeff, I understand, I still have some clients' emails that I haven't checked yet."
Jeff nodded and handed the two work documents to Xu Xiaowei, "This is the document you followed yesterday. It has been reviewed. You can take it back and notify the logistics department."
"receive."
Looking at Xu Xiaowei who was leaving in a hurry, Jeff added: "Not only about relationship issues, but also if you don't understand work, you can also consult me and other seniors in the office..."
Xu Xiaowei spent two days in peace.
Sean O'Brien did not come to her or seek revenge on her, as if what happened on the anniversary night was in the past.
Xu Xiaowei felt stingy when she thought about it. How could a big shot like the big boss care about a little guy like her?
Time flies and it’s Friday. Every time it comes, people in the company are as busy as if they were at war, in order to finish the work at hand quickly and go home from get off work early.
The company implements a seven-hour work system from 9 to 5, but there is also a humane clock-in rule, that is, if employees have something to do, they can clock in at 7 a.m. in advance, and then clock out at 3 a.m. after get off work.
Today is Friday, many employees go to work at 7 o'clock for various reasons, in order to get off work early and try to extend the weekend.
However, there are exceptions. For example, Xu Xiaowei did not join, and she continued to work from nine to five.
Maureen stared at the three o'clock time and turned off the computer on time to get off work. She blew a kiss to Xu Xiaowei: "Baby, I'm leaving."
Xu Xiaowei skillfully reached out to accept the kiss and said with a smile: "Happy weekend!"
People in the office left work one after another. Until five o'clock, Xu Xiaowei was the only one left in the office.
She turned off the computer, stretched, punched out the get off work card, and then walked around the office to check whether the power of the equipment was turned off. She picked up her mobile phone to search for recipes online, thinking about what to buy in the supermarket later.
"Making fat beef noodle soup? But I haven't eaten seafood for a long time..."
After checking and walking out of the office, Xu Xiaowei walked briskly to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, looking at her face reflected in the elevator door, she suddenly remembered the dangerous man Sean O'Brien, the big boss, and the first kiss she lost.
"Forget it, I gave it to him for free, just to buy peace."
If she had dared to resist at that time, she might have ended up like that man named Hutch.
Xu Xiaowei thought that the big boss's office was on the top floor anyway, and he came to the company every now and then. As long as she stayed in her office peacefully, there was no way the two of them would meet.
Xu Xiaowei, who had prepared herself mentally, smiled with relief. She continued to browse the recipes on her phone, looking at the colorful dishes. She couldn't help but smile when she thought about the joy of being able to watch TV shows while eating on the weekends.
"Ding……"
The elevator door opened. Xu Xiaowei, who was smiling and almost drooling while looking at the menu, raised her head. For a moment, her smile froze.
Damn it, is this world so fucked up?
If you don't make people's dreams come true, forget it. If you don't make people's nightmares, it will be the result.
