Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 139 Don’t think about it
Walk up from the Changqiao Street platform for about ten minutes and you will arrive at the downstairs of Anxi Venture Capital.

This office building was delivered at the beginning of the year, and it has been more than half a year since then. However, with all the matters including decoration, Anxi Venture Capital has only moved in not long ago.

The new and spacious hall has a floor paved with glossy marble and several huge floor-to-ceiling windows forming the walls. The furnishings inside, including chandeliers, sofas, and various tables and chairs, are all made of extraordinary materials.

At first glance, the decoration style is elegant and decent. It’s not very ingenious, but in the era of 2010, it is enough to fool people.

"Sister Wang...didn't we agree to have two days off a week?"

"Hey, you silly girl. I'll just let you work overtime for one day, and it's not like I won't pay you."

At the front desk, two receptionists were leaning against the counter, chatting aimlessly.

The woman called Sister Wang looked a little older, with a decent appearance and delicate makeup. She was wearing a common business suit, high heels and thick black stockings.

Facing the complaints from the "newbie" who had just joined the company, Sister Wang glared at him unhappily.

I thought to myself, this silly kid... is really ignorant. It's just working overtime, what is there to complain about?

You know, as far as she knows, the company next door only has two days off a month, and they don’t get overtime pay for overtime work. They work themselves to death all day long, but in the end, their salary is not as good as hers...

Thinking of this, Sister Wang couldn't help but straighten her chest and stand up straighter.

At the same time, he elbowed the newcomer next to him.

"Ouch... Sister Wang, what are you doing?"

Liu Xiaozhu was originally leaning lazily on the edge of the stage, and was preparing to use the ultimate method he used when he was in school, which was to stand while sleeping.

He didn't expect to be elbowed so suddenly by the woman. He was immediately startled and looked around quickly, but didn't see anyone. Then he couldn't help but complain out loud.

"You didn't sleep well last night and came to sleep in the company. Did you steal the oil? Cheer up!"

Sister Wang turned her head and scolded her in a low voice.

"Oh, who knew I would suddenly be notified to work overtime today? I just worked all night last night..."

"What are you doing all night long?"

"nothing."

As Liu Xiaozhu was talking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. His expression paused, and he held it back.

After all, playing games all night long seems to be a bit damaging to one's image.

She rubbed her eyes, walked back to the stage, and picked up a small mirror to look at herself.

In the mirror, a young and beautiful face is reflected.

Her makeup wasn’t as delicate as Sister Wang’s, but she also put on lipstick and some powder.

She looked at herself in the mirror and subconsciously pursed her lips slightly.

If you want to be a receptionist, especially in a big company like this, your appearance and figure will naturally not be too bad.

What Liu Xiaozhu cares about is actually just the thick bags under her eyes. Even if she puts on some powder... it doesn't seem to help?
Still very obvious...

Forget it. As a 19-year-old who was thinking about living a life of idleness and waiting for death and retiring to her hometown, her attitude towards things has always been very easy-going.

At this moment, Sister Wang, who was leaning on the side, suddenly stood up straight with a smile on her face. Seeing this, Liu Xiaozhu quickly put down the mirror and followed suit.

"Manager He."

A man carrying a briefcase walked in, nodded slightly as a response, and then went straight upstairs.

Sister Wang looked at the man's back and couldn't help muttering, "Manager He is also working overtime today..."

"How to say?"

Liu Xiaozhu cooperated very well and supported the actor on the side.

Sister Wang glanced at her and explained:
"You just got here, so you may not know that Director He only comes to the company three days a week without fail. Unless there is something important, he will never come to the company on his weekends."

"What?! And you can only go three days a week!"

However, when Liu Xiaozhu heard this, she automatically extracted the key words. She was shocked and her tone was full of envy.

Then he sighed, "If only I could go to school only three days a week."

"You wish..."

Sister Wang tapped her forehead. Being able to work at Anxi Venture Capital was something that many people envied, but this little girl was still not satisfied.

"Okay, I'm going to the bathroom. You stay here and watch carefully. I'm warning you not to doze off."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaozhu nodded obediently.

However, as soon as the woman's back disappeared around the corner, she immediately went back to the counter, kicked off her high heels, and stretched.

Fish!

Unfortunately, things in the world are often not as planned. She had just laid down on the table when she heard new noises coming from the door.

I had no choice but to put my shoes back on, put on a smile and get ready for business.

However, when he saw who was coming, Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel relieved.

This is a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, loose wide-leg pants, and gray and white sneakers.

It’s a very ordinary outfit… If I had to say something unusual, it’s probably because her face is too pretty.

"Hello, I'm looking for your CEO Shu."

The young man came closer and explained his purpose.

"okay."

Liu Xiaozhu responded, picked up the phone and prepared to call.

But the young man seemed a little stunned.

"Wait, shouldn't you ask who I am first?"

Liu Xiaozhu was also stunned, "Do you need it?"

"Should...Is it necessary?"

This was also the first time that Chen An came to the company as a "straightforward person". Previously, he was brought in directly by Shu Keqing.

He thought about it and gestured with his hand.

"Look, isn't the correct procedure for you to first despise me, mocking me for being such a brat and having the audacity to come to your CEO Shu, and then humiliating me harshly with words?"

"Then I curled my lips into a Nike shape, took out my cell phone, and called Shu Keqing directly. Then you were shocked again, saying it was impossible, but you were powerless in the face of facts. In the end, your face was ashen, and you could only watch me go upstairs with eyes full of despair." The boy's words were very long, and he finished them in one breath.

Liu Xiaozhu was so stunned that he forgot to dial the phone.

A little, she chuckled.

"Haha, little brother, you are quite humorous."

Liu Xiaozhu smiled and dialed the phone. He waited for a while, but no one answered.

She put the phone down and shrugged.

"I guess he's busy. Why don't you sit down and relax?"

Chen An was not in a hurry anyway, so he followed her to the rest area and touched and looked at things here and there.

For him, it was like moving to a new home, so it was certainly worth taking a closer look.

However, in the eyes of others, this will inevitably make people look like an ignorant little kid who has never seen the world.

Liu Xiaozhu poured him a glass of water, then sat down on the soft leather sofa and lay back comfortably.

She saw that the boy was like a curious baby and couldn't help but pull his sleeve.

"Hey, I just started working a few days ago and I was just like you, I liked to touch everywhere."

"is it?"

Chen An was pulled by her and sat down.

He smiled, "So how do you feel?"

"That's it... But it's much better than my previous job as a network administrator. At least I don't have to stay up late all the time."

Liu Xiaozhu pointed to the glass of water on the table and kindly reminded: "Drink some water, don't be so reserved."

"……Row."

"Tsk, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I would have no reason to sit here... Don't you think this sofa is very comfortable to lie on?"

Liu Xiaozhu muttered and subconsciously wanted to kick off her high heels, but she held back as she thought the occasion was not right.

"It's OK. For things like this that are used to show off, people usually choose something high-end."

Chen An picked up the water glass and took a sip.

I glanced at the woman next to me again... To be honest, I feel like calling her a woman is an overstatement. She has the temperament of a young girl, and I guess she is just an adult.

And I have a bit of nerves...

"How old are you?"

Just as I was thinking about it, the other party took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"19."

Chen An remained calm, "What about you?"

Liu Xiaozhu was stunned. He didn't expect that this person was the same age as him.

Then wasn't it wrong for her to call him "little brother" before?
So she coughed twice and said with a smile: "Sister is already 28 years old. I really envy young people like you."

"You're twenty-eight?"

"Yes, I just got divorced two days ago, and I still have two kids."

Liu Xiaozhu was probably not as good at lying as someone else. His cheeks were already slightly hot, so he quickly made an excuse to pour himself a glass of water.

When she came back, she seemed to have finally remembered her duties and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Apply."

Chen An was in a good mood today and wanted to tease her.

Although the attempt to slap someone in the face failed, it seems that I can still play the pig and eat the tiger.

"Apply for a job?"

Liu Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then you should look for Sister Gu, she is the head of our human resources department."

"I see... But I'm applying for Mr. Shu's secretary position, so the process may be different from yours."

"alright."

Liu Xiaozhu had no doubts, or rather, she was too lazy to think about it, as it had little to do with her anyway.

She just wanted to pull people here to talk and rub the sofa, so that even if Sister Wang came out of the bathroom later, she would have no reason to blame her.

"Then why don't we add Qiuqiu? Maybe we can be colleagues in the future."

Liu Xiaozhu was thinking, trying to figure out how to expand her network with her limited life experience.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said with a vigilant look: "By the way, don't think too much, I am a mother."

Beside her, the boy's face twitched noticeably.

It is undeniable that this might be the first time that Chen An was "rejected" by someone.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a female voice suddenly coming from behind him.

"My dear secretary... have you had enough fun?"

Turning around, a tall figure came into view.

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly. Time had not left any traces on her pretty face. On the contrary, compared to that 'Teacher Shu', the current Ms. Shu had more indescribable charm.

And maybe it's because he has been in a high position for a long time, his eyebrows and eyes have a bit of coldness, and now his face is expressionless and his hands are folded across his chest, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable when they stare at him.

It's just like the scene of catching an adulterer.

The woman had a slender waist and was wearing a dark-black cheongsam that fitted her perfectly. There was a not-too-high opening on the side that faintly revealed her fair skin.

Chen An then looked down and frowned slightly.

These aren't the familiar high-heeled sandals...

As if she had realized what he meant, Shu Keqing's face turned slightly red and she made a light "Pooh" sound.

"Don't even think about it!"
