My brother bought a Porsche.
On Double Eleven, he even sent me a big gift package.
"Here, this is for you, a whole box full of Elixir," Chen Yueyue said as she pulled me to the door.
When I opened the box, it was filled with bottles and jars.
I pulled out a bottle and asked, "Chen Yueyue, are you on the rich list now?"
"No."
My brother scratched his head awkwardly.
"Then how do you have money to buy a Porsche?"
"And afford such an expensive gift for me."
I looked at him suspiciously, "You can't really be on the rich list, can you?"
"Chen Yueyue, I want to be on the wealthy list too!"
"Our parents are so ungrateful. They failed in their investments and went bankrupt, leaving us siblings at home while they took the money and traveled around the world."
"Woo woo woo, I really want to be on the wealthy list too."
My brother's face turned bright red, "Sis, stop saying that; it's so embarrassing."
"Then tell me how you got the money?"
After our parents ran off with the money, Chen Yueyue and I had to fend for ourselves and find jobs.
I worked at a big company as an employee.
With a monthly salary of five thousand, I worked diligently every day without daring to slack off even a bit.
"I..."
Chen Yueyue was about to speak when I interrupted her: "Forget it, I won't ask anymore; as long as it's not illegal, that's fine."
"Sis, I won't do anything illegal."
"Okay, I believe you."
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm off to work."
As soon as I arrived at the office, I ran into my colleague, Zhou Qingya.
She leaned in closer and said mysteriously, "Chen Yunyun, who was that guy who dropped you off today?"
"Is he your boyfriend? He’s really handsome; introduce me to him!"
I shook my head and replied, "No, he's just a friend."
"Come on, don’t be stingy."
Zhou Qingya rolled her eyes and swayed her hips as she walked away.
I was speechless.
What did it have to do with her? I didn't ask her to introduce me to a boyfriend.
"Chen Yunyun, you're late again!"
"Go clean the restroom; your perfect attendance award is gone this month."
Manager Qu shot me a glare before turning back to the office.
I felt like crying without tears.
I was only five minutes late; was it really that serious?
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!"
Zhou Qingya shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Do you all want your salaries deducted?"
"I know, I'm going right now."
I took a broom and headed to the restroom, where I saw a guy standing outside.
He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, looking both refined and reserved.
"You’re late too?"
I greeted him first.
The guy glanced at me and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
He is a colleague who joined the company at the same time as I did, named Fang Chu. I am still in my internship period, while he has already been confirmed as a full-time employee. I feel quite frustrated about it.
"It's all Manager Qu's fault; deducting a hundred bucks for being five minutes late is really harsh," I complained.
"Yeah," he replied.
"You have such a good temper; don't you ever resist?"
"Yeah."
I was exasperated: "Are you a parrot?"
"Yeah."
He still maintained his calm demeanor. I decided to tease him: "Handsome, don’t you have any opinions of your own?"
"Handsome" is the nickname given to Fang Chu in the company. Because he is good-looking and refined, everyone calls him Handsome.
He glanced at me, his thin lips slightly pursed: "What did you call me?"
"Handsome," I said, blinking at him. "Don't you like that title?"
"I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice from the restroom called out impatiently, "Are you done yet?"
"Coming right up," Fang Chu quickly responded, reaching for the faucet.
Whether it was intentional or not, the water sprayed directly onto his white shirt, soaking the upper half of his body.
