Chapter 557 Extra – Lu Haochen and the Other Xian (II)
After about a week, I saw Mr. Lu again, walking into the lobby with his chest puffed out and his eyes unblinking, while I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a rag in hand, cleaning the glass. Unfortunately, I couldn’t follow him because it was my turn to do the cleaning downstairs this week.
Regrets aside, I’m in a pretty good mood because today is payday. I only have a month’s probationary period, so I’ll be getting more money this month than last, and I can’t help but raise my eyebrows at the thought of that.
At ten o’clock, I went to the personnel department to collect my salary, sitting at the window to send money is not last month’s sister Zhang, replaced by a younger Wu, I heard that she had just returned from maternity leave.
Wu read my name, “Xu Xian.” After reading it, she giggled and looked up at me, “Your name is Xu Xian?”
I’m used to this kind of reaction and nodded with a smile, “Yes, my name is Xu Xian.”
She teased me, “How come all the ones with Xian in their name are so pretty,” she sized me up and turned her head to talk to her coworker on the side, “looks a bit like Xian, both have big eyes and both work as janitors.”
The coworker then laughed, “It’s a pity that Mr. Lu doesn’t come here often now, otherwise there would still be a chance.”
Another colleague heard it and raised his voice, “Mr. Lu is here today Oh, you guys have to be careful what you say.”
Xiao Wu spat out his tongue and lowered his voice, “Don’t even say it, it would be disastrous if Mr. Lu heard it.”
I’m baffled. What fairy? Could it be related to Mr. Lu? I remember the first time I met Mr. Lu, he called me Xiao Xian, I thought he was calling me at that time. But no one has ever called me Xiao Xian, my colleagues in the company call me Xiao Xu, my friends call me Hong Yan, I don’t like Xu Xian, I don’t like Xiao Xian either, it’s very rustic.
One thing I don’t understand about such a high profile company is why they prefer cash instead of putting money on a payroll card, but it feels so good to count the bills and notes, I love money, and I love counting it even more, and I love the feeling of the bills and notes running through my fingers, and I love to listen to the sound of them making a brushing sound.
Took the money, I was happy to go out, passing by the administrative department, Guo manager called me, said loudly, “Xiao Xu, you go to Mr. Lu there, he is looking for you.”
My heart skipped a beat. Mr. Lu is looking for me? He still remembers me!
I slipped the money into the pocket of my uniform and hurried upstairs, feeling a little nervous by the time I got up the stairs, panting, and stood in front of his office door.
I’m actually rarely nervous, my mom said I’m bold, single-handedly dare to wander around the world. Elementary school when they had run away from home, junior high school to sit on a night train to the other side of the net friend, the parents were scared to report to the police, but nothing happened, high school when they went to Thailand with a friend once, and came back to tell my parents that I have been out of the country, how they can not believe it. Until I took out a photo with a transvestite, my mom believed, poked my forehead and hated to say how not to let foreign traffickers abducted me.
Joke, I’m not highly educated and low IQ, how can I let people sell me to the ravine? I’m already generous enough not to cheat, okay?
After knocking politely three times, Mr. Lu’s voice didn’t sound quite right, “Come in.”
I pushed the door open to find him decidedly out of sorts, his face sunken and his eyes raised at me.
I carefully asked, “Mr. Lu, what do you want to see me about?”
Mr. Lu pointed to the bottom of the filing cabinet, “There’s a layer of dust under there, are you sure you did the cleaning?”
To be honest, apart from the day I wiped it down on a whim, I haven’t bothered with it since. Those kinds of hygiene dead spots are supposed to be easy to ignore, and no one says that the underside of a filing cabinet has to be spotless, right?
It didn’t seem like a big deal to me, but the look on Mr. Lu’s face told me that it was, so I said without panicking, “Mr. Lu, I’m not in charge of your office this week.”
His face slowed down, as if he knew he had wronged me, but apologizing wasn’t for big shots, he glanced at me before picking up the phone and pulling the intercom, “This is Lu Haochen, I’ll let Xu Xian be in charge of the cleaning of my office from now on.”
A short sentence, but like a thunderbolt, heard my heart shook, I think the opportunity is probably really coming.
I’ve always known my strengths, and after so many years of gaming life, I didn’t give myself away easily, probably waiting for him.
But after the call, Mr. Lu only asked me, “Do you understand your scope of work now?”
I nodded, “Understood.”
He didn’t say a second word, only waved his hand, and I had the good sense to hurry back out.
I was a little lost, hitching my head and walking slowly in the corridor, could it be that Mr. Lu called me up there really just for the dust under the filing cabinet? Is my face not better than that dirty dust? My beauty, my pride and joy, what does it really mean in Mr. Lu’s eyes?
The mood is so low that the money in my pocket doesn’t cheer me up right away.
I was hanging my head when someone tapped me on the shoulder in the cold, causing me to squeal in fear.
A turn around, but the security guard Xiao Li, not far away, Mr. Lu stood in the doorway, is looking at us suspiciously, I do not know is he just happened to go out when he heard me call, or heard me call before running to the door? Anyway, his expression is strange, looking at Li’s gaze with the first day to see me as creepy.
Xiao Li, with his back turned so he didn’t see the big man, smiled and joked with me, “Xiao Xu, why aren’t you happy about your paycheck today? Think it’s too little money?”
I kept my smile, “No, it’s fine.” Said while hinting at him.
Xiao Li was a bit stupid, he thought I was winking at him, and smiled even more vigorously, and even took a step forward to me, “Xiao Xu, how about inviting you out for a midnight snack tonight?”
I took a step back and didn’t move, “Thank you, my family is strict and I’m not allowed to go out at night.”
“You have come out to work, the family still care about you ah, and colleagues out to eat a snack night afraid of what ah, I am not a bad person.”
I was secretly anxious for him, so I turned my head and walked away, with Xiao Li in hot pursuit, “Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, what are you running for, I’m not going to eat you!”
Turned the corner, escaped the line of sight of Mr. Lu, I slowed down my pace, but I still do not dare to stop, until I walked into the elevator, Xiao Li followed me in, “You’re also too timid, this is in the company, I can still eat you ah?”
I laughed, “I was afraid that Mr. Lu would eat you, he was watching you from behind just now.”
No one in the company was not afraid of Mr. Lu, and Xiao Li was no exception, as soon as he heard me say this, he immediately complained, “Why didn’t you tell me either?”
“I winked at you, you’re the one who’s not awake.” I saw that Li was a little nervous, and comforted him by saying, “It’s okay, we’re just talking, we’re not doing anything else.”
I think this is really not a big deal, even if Mr. Lu saw Li picking up girls during work hours, he would just let the captain of the security department teach him a lesson and forget about it. But I didn’t realize that on the same day, Li was fired on the grounds that he was not competent to do his job. Although this has nothing to do with me, but I feel bad, always feel that there is still more or less a little bit of my relationship, to be honest, I think it is very wrong, when working, colleagues say a few jokes, what is this ah? Mr. Lu is really making a big deal out of it.
I became cautious, every day honestly cleaning, under the file cabinet is the most important, although I know Mr. Lu is not often come, but every day I dare not sloppy, not afraid of ten thousand is afraid of the eventuality, in case just in time did not wipe the day he came? I don’t want to be fired like Li!
I diligently did the sanitation every day and cleaned Mr. Lu’s office, even the bottom of the file cabinet was spotless. But Mr. Lu never came again. He gave the office to me, but forgot about me.
The four seasons in Asia Bay are like summer, day by day, monotonous and repetitive, without a little change. I began to no longer have fantasies, after all, the rich big shot around the beauty of the clouds, I’m such a posture he probably saw a lot, aesthetic fatigue, so simply do not care.
If I didn’t care, I wasn’t going to hang myself on his tree. I went about my day doing what I had to do and gradually forgot about him.
About two months later, I got a call from him out of the blue, and it was a shock because it was already a little late at that hour. My parents were asleep and he called me out, so I said yes without asking anything and snuck out of the house.
He actually knew where I lived and sat downstairs in his car waiting. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to change out of my pajamas and ran down there. I thought he was just going to say a few words, but I didn’t realize that he told me to get in the car.
My pajamas were very conservative and didn’t make him think twice, and as I sat in the car, I regretted not changing into something slightly more sexual.
He didn’t say another word except to tell me to get in the car, and I was very apprehensive, like a white rabbit in my heart, like uneasiness and excitement.
It was almost midnight, but the streets were still bustling with neon lights, traffic flowing like a river, and pedestrians laughing and joking on the street. There are also stalls selling fruits, selling Qingzongliang, the stalls are picking red lanterns, rippling glow.
I am very glad that I did not go out to fool around tonight, in the eyes of Mr. Lu, wearing HELLOKITTY pajamas, I must be like a good girl.
As if he was aimless, he just led me to swim in the river, my hair was blown up by the wind, and my long curls fluttered gently, reminding me of the water demons, who all have such long curly hair, and when they cast their magic, those long hairs become like tentacles, and wrap the compelled men tightly around them.
Probably because my hair brushed against Mr. Lu’s face, he twisted his head to look at me, and his chilling gaze made me shiver with fear.
There was an intersection ahead, the light flashed red, he slammed on the brakes and suddenly leaned over and kissed me.
My eyes widened and my whole body froze, the scent of masculinity filled me, leaving me a little disoriented, and that rabbit inside me was on fire, it was thumping against my chest so hard it looked like it was going to jump out.
It’s not that I didn’t think he’d make a move on me, but I didn’t think he’d pick a time like this!
