Yu Lili was becoming a little impatient. She looked at Shen Zhilie with annoyance and said, “Why are you talking so much?”
Shen Zhilie stopped talking immediately. Yu Lili glared at him before she pressed the button for floor 26.
Shen Zhilie did not make any more noise. He secretly recorded her floor number. When the elevator stopped on the 20th floor, Shen Zhilie got out with his suitcase. He was smiling like a handsome, cartoon teenager.
“I’m going to get settled in, but I’ll see you later.”
Yu Lili didn’t want to ignore him at all, but she knew that it was for the best. She pressed the close button for the elevator door and held it down as she pressed the button for floor 26, canceling the stop. She then pushed the button for the 28th floor and went up.
As she returned to the apartment, Yu Lili felt very sleepy. She changed her clothes, got into bed, and quickly fell asleep with the quilt still in her arms.
She slept until midnight.
When she woke up, Ou Ming was asleep beside her, breathing evenly. He was wearing a bathrobe and had his arms wrapped around her waist. Yu Lili loved the natural way he curled around her. She couldn’t help but cry. She leaned into his arms and was comforted by the familiar smell of Ou Ming’s body. Yu Lili closed her eyes and went to sleep with ease.
…
When Yu Lili arrived at work on Monday, she was sent to the front desk to work as a temporary receptionist. She did this for the next three days. By the fourth day, Yu Lili had had enough. She couldn’t help but go to the editor-in-chief’s office and knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The editor-in-chief could tell that something was wrong just by looking at her. She lowered her head and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Editor-in-chief Zhou, I was interviewed and hired to be an assistant editor, not a receptionist. Am I going to be a receptionist at the front desk or will I be allowed to do the work I was hired to do?”
Editor-in-chief Zhou adjusted her glasses and said neutrally, “As a new employee, you must learn that we work as a team and help each other when necessary. The front desk is temporarily short on staff, so I had you go to the post for a few days. There will be a new front desk receptionist replacing you tomorrow, so you will be able to go back to your office then.”
That seems rather far-fetched. Shan Yu is still new. Why does she want me to work at the front desk instead of Shan Yu?
Yu Lili was not convinced, but she couldn’t think of anything else to say that wouldn’t get her into trouble with Editor-in-chief Zhou.
The next day, Yu Lili did not report to the front desk. Instead, she went straight back to her office to start her duties as an assistant editor. The editor, Zi Yu, came over to her desk and said, “Shouldn’t you be working at the front desk? Why are you back here?”
“I spoke with Editor-in-chief Zhou yesterday. She said that I could resume my position as an assistant editor today. She said there would be a new front desk receptionist.”
Zi Yu nodded and said, “In that case, you can start by checking this stack of original drawings.”
“All right,” said Yu Lili. She began working, determined to do her best.
An hour or so later, Editor-in-chief Zhou came storming into the office. She looked a little fierce as she shouted, “Where’s Yu Lili, where is she?”
Yu Lili raised her head and looked out. She raised her hand and said, “I’m here.”
“No one is at the front desk! The mailman has been waiting for a long time, and now he’s angry. Go collect the mail and do it quickly!”
Yu Lili felt puzzled and said, “Editor-in-chief Zhou, what does that have to do with me? I shouldn’t have to deal with an angry mailman. Yesterday, you told me that I’m not the receptionist anymore. ”
Editor-in-chief Zhou was angry and said, “Did I say that? Why are you so disobedient? Can I not count on you to do your job?”
Does this mean that I’m going to get fired?
