"You two have been restless even on the way here. Do you not want to work anymore? If you don't want to, there are plenty of people who will!" Sister Na was extremely angry at this moment. She never expected that even two ordinary employees would dare to disregard her words! Upon hearing this, the two exchanged eye rolls internally. 'Well, let them come and take over; you can't find anyone else, so you're just venting your frustrations on us. If we really could leave, I'd thank her ancestors—no joke!' Lan Ruo Yi had heard this sentiment more than once and realized from her memory that this wasn't the first time she had suggested resigning from the company. Each time, they offered her a raise but never approved her resignation.
Liu Ru Yan, hearing Lan Ruo Yi's thoughts, struggled to maintain her composure. She couldn't help but lower her head abruptly; from Sister Na's perspective, it looked as if she was crying. Seeing Liu Ru Yan like this made Sister Na feel that her words had some effect, giving her a strange sense of satisfaction. "Especially you, Liu Ru Yan." Sister Na looked at Liu Ru Yan's trembling body and felt a surge of confidence, straightening her back and preparing to take aim at her.
At that moment, Liu Ru Yan realized that her actions might be misleading. It mainly confused herself. This made Lan Ruo Yi struggle to contain her expression as well; the corners of her mouth began to twitch. If Sister Na had been less confident at that moment, perhaps she would have noticed something amiss, but she was too self-assured! The gazes of those around them couldn't help but drift in their direction. Upon seeing Liu Ru Yan's twitching body, they assumed she was crying; only Lan Ruo Yi could clearly see Liu Ru Yan's flushed neck.
"Sister Na! Sister Na!" Just as Sister Na was about to continue reprimanding the two and elaborate on their behavior, a voice suddenly burst in from outside, shattering the silence of the office. Sister Na glanced at the surrounding crowd who were now silent, realizing they had just witnessed a spectacle. Her gaze felt like daggers as she looked at everyone. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she prepared to say something when Liu Ru Yan suddenly lifted her head and caught that expression, her lips moving as if to say something.
"Don't you all have any work to do? If not, shouldn't you find something to keep busy with?" Everyone could tell she was trying to assert her authority again; this wasn't the first or second time. They obediently lowered their heads. "You two go back for now; I'll call for you later." With that, she walked towards the exit.
'What were you about to say? Your lips looked ready to spill something.' Lan Ruo Yi stood rooted in place watching Sister Na walk away, a cold voice in her mind directed at Liu Ru Yan. 'I thought she was almost done; I was laughing so hard I could cry! Who knew she'd make that kind of face again? I really want to comment on it!' Liu Ru Yan wiped away tears of laughter, feeling a bit of pain in her eyes.
"Let's go!" Lan Ruo Yi knew what Liu Ru Yan wanted to say, but this wasn't the place for it—after all, as the saying goes, walls have ears! Liu Ru Yan nodded obediently and followed Lan Ruo Yi back to their desks. The two ignored the glances they received along the way; they knew none of those people were friendly and were all putting on a good act.
Once seated, they pretended as if nothing had happened and focused intently on their work. Others noticed that the two had no intention of continuing their earlier conversation and also returned to their tasks, feeling somewhat bored by it all.
"Hey, why do you think those two acted like that?" Liu Ru Yan glanced at everyone who had lost interest in them and wanted to say something to Lan Ruo Yi when both of their WeChat notifications chimed simultaneously. They exchanged silent glances.
'Gossip' Xiao Ling Tong: Tsk tsk, this Na Na isn't doing this for the first time; I think Xiao Liu actually cried this time.
Luo Tuo Xiang Zi: Tsk tsk tsk, I saw it too; just now Xiao Liu's eyes were red.
Divorced With Two Kids: Speaking of which...
Excited Big Mother Monkey: ...Did you forget they're both in the group?
Xiao Ling Tong has withdrawn a message.
Luo Tuo Xiang Zi has withdrawn a message.
Liu Xia Sui: Don't withdraw it; I saw it...
Lan Yue Liang: ...
Divorced With Two Kids: ...
Hong Shixian: ...
Everyone felt a slight awkwardness through the screen, and some directly asked.
185 Nan Da Nen Tun: So Liu A Yan, did you really cry?
Luo Tuo Xiang Zi: ? Good question.
Excited Big Mother Monkey: Not hiding it anymore?
Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi didn't know what to say in response to express their speechlessness. Or rather, 185 Nan Da Nen Tun really had some nerve.
185 Nan Da Nen Tun was Zhang Baofeng, a skilled tech expert from the IT department; he didn't think much of it. Although it was a bit awkward, since it was out in the open now, he might as well ask directly.
Liu Xia Sui: ...I didn't cry!!!
Divorced With Two Kids: Huh? Then why are your eyes so red?
Hong Shixian: I get it!
Liu Xia Sui: @Hong Shixian What do you get?
Future Head Honcho: He probably thinks you don't want to talk about it because you're proud.
Hong Shixian: @Future Head Honcho What's wrong with you? Why bring it up? That girl is sensitive inside.
185 Nan Da Nen Tun: How about you both eat some pig brains?
Future Head Honcho and Hong Shixian: ?
Lan Yue Liang: To supplement each other!
Everyone else: ...
"Tonight we have a meeting at headquarters!" Just as everyone was trying to forget about the awkwardness from earlier, they heard an icy female voice deliver bad news. 'Are we really going?' Liu Ru Yan shot a glance at Lan Ruo Yi, hoping she would come up with a plan. However, Lan Ruo Yi thought this was good news at that moment.
'Let's go see; we know so many people here already—maybe we'll see even more at headquarters!' Lan Ruo Yi's words reminded Liu Ru Yan. She recalled how mysteriously some people had disappeared and thought that since things were so strange here, there might be things they didn't know about yet.
"Sister Na, why is there suddenly a meeting? What's going on?" A sudden voice piped up from behind Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi just as they were thinking about these things. They turned around only to hear buzzing in their ears.
Looking back revealed a fairly good-looking man who they recognized from memory as 185 Nan Da Nen Tun.
Liu Ru Yan cast an odd glance down his face trying to confirm whether he was indeed Nan Da Nen Tun; his gaze made Zhang Baofeng feel extremely uncomfortable—as if he were being scanned while completely naked.
Lan Ruo Yi followed Liu Ru Yan's gaze and looked over too; she twitched slightly at the corners of her mouth but pretended not to see anything.
Sitting next to Zhang Baofeng was another person from their group with the nickname Divorced With Two Kids; she appeared youthful enough as if she had just graduated.
