My name is Yu Bo, and I am an orphan.
After graduating, I found a decent job.
However, just as I graduated, I encountered the era of graduating into unemployment.
Watching my roommates receive job offers one by one made me envious to the point of drooling.
Until an interview invitation from a rising AI company appeared in my inbox.
I was both surprised and delighted!
After five rounds of interviews, I successfully landed the job.
On July 1st, I reported to the company along with nine other new employees.
Among them was a girl named Lin Ran, dressed in a wine-red dress, her makeup exquisite and her demeanor elegant and poised.
She was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off her.
"Hello there, I'm Lin Ran," she said, extending her hand for a handshake.
I was taken aback but returned the gesture. "Hello, I'm Yu Bo."
Lin Ran smiled even more beautifully. "Yu Bo, that's a delicious name."
Because Lin Ran was so stunning, most of the attention was drawn to her.
I mingled with a few other girls.
But we were not from the same circle; they were all seasoned professionals, and I found it hard to fit in.
To quickly integrate into the group, I invited Lin Ran to have meals with me every day.
Even though she always declined my invitations.
I remained persistent, hoping to learn about the seasoned employees through her and join their lunch group.
"Hey, sisters, I heard someone is working overtime tonight," a gossip message popped up in the company chat.
Whenever the boss announced overtime, they would tag the people required to stay late.
Today, however, the boss didn’t tag anyone.
I thought I could leave early since I wasn’t mentioned.
It wasn’t until close to the end of the workday that the boss tagged me in the chat: [Yu Bo, please work overtime today and finish this project before you leave.]
I replied: [Okay.]
A colleague responded in the chat: [The boss is being a dad again.]
[The boss is being a dad again +1]
The boss went silent and logged off.
I felt awkward and didn’t know how to respond.
Fortunately, Lin Ran came to my rescue: [You guys shouldn’t say that; the boss could sue for defamation.]
Lin Ran’s profile picture was of a cute rabbit; I imagined she must have looked adorable saying that.
My feelings for her grew a little stronger.
At that moment, someone tagged me: [Yu Bo, be careful if you're working late tonight.]
[?] I was confused.
The person replied: [There's a ghost in the office!]
[It's true! Don't doubt it!]
[You must not work too late tonight!]
[If you do, remember not to drink water!]
I stared at the flood of messages, feeling a bit lost.
I checked the group chat; there were over twenty people. Did they all accept that there was a ghost in the office?
Were they all so relaxed about it?
Was there really a ghost in the office?
I sent a message in the group asking, but no one replied.
Lin Ran also saw the messages in the group.
Worried that I might be in danger working alone, she decided to stay and keep me company while I worked late.
Come to think of it, Lin Ran usually didn’t join me for these late-night shifts.
I never expected her to care about me so much!
"Thank you, Sister Ran!" I said sweetly.
She ruffled my hair and replied, "No need to thank me."
Happily, I hugged my laptop bag and followed Lin Ran to the work area.
Before we left, Lin Ran reminded me again, "Don't go to the Boss's Office tonight."
Chen Ling sent me a private message.
"Don't go to the Boss's Office tonight!"
Her words made me feel a bit anxious.
I looked at Lin Ran and asked, "Sister Ran, aren't you going back to work?"
Lin Ran shook her head. "I've finished my work; I'll stay with you for a while longer."
I looked at Lin Ran with gratitude but noticed her face was pale.
"Sister Ran, are you feeling unwell?"
She shook her head. "I'm fine; let's keep working."
The office was empty, just the two of us—me and Lin Ran.
