My Big Brother is Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven
墨書 Inktalez
My name is Sun Jun, 27 years old, and I work for a new media company. I earn a monthly salary of 5,000, I'm not married, and I don't have a girlfriend. I'm still single, and I've never even held a girl's hand, let alone explored black holes. Even Stephen Hawking is better than me. A disabled person is an expert in black hole research, and I am nothing.
The new media company I work at has a lot of women, with more than half of the employees being female. They are all good-looking, with fair skin, beautiful faces, and long legs. However, almost all of them have a wealthy backer. Once they get off work, they disappear as if they've vanished from the earth, leaving no trace behind.
The average girls also don't look at me, a poor guy like me. It's difficult to live in this city with a monthly salary of 5,000, let alone talk about dating. Just going out for a meal costs hundreds, and if you add a gift, it's over a thousand. And there's still no guarantee of success. If the girl just says "thank you" in the end, who wouldn't be devastated?
Sometimes I also think about returning to my hometown. My hometown is in the countryside. As the first college student in my family, I attended a decent university. Unfortunately, I didn't study hard in college and chose the wrong major. After graduation, I couldn't find a job and ended up working at this new media company, mainly doing operations, which is basically just odd jobs.
It's been several years since I've been home. I don't know how my elderly parents are doing. Every time they call, they ask me how I'm doing outside and if I want to return to our hometown and find a wife.
But what can I do when I go back to my hometown? Even in the county town of my hometown, it's hard to find a job that pays a monthly salary of five thousand. I can't accept that kind of gap, so I can only continue to struggle in the city, hoping to get rich someday. After work in the evening, I just write novels in my rental house, hoping to have a bestseller one day, but it's just wishful thinking.
There are so many people writing novels now, it's like a meat grinder. The novels I write hardly make a splash.
Every time I go to the company, it's a tearing of my own personality. Seeing the beautiful women in the company chatting and laughing with the leaders, even making physical gestures, I see it in my eyes, and it ignites a fire in my heart. I really want to replace the leaders and have a romantic encounter with Ding Lina.
Especially when the two of them often lock the office door and do indescribable things inside.
I am busy in the office, running around and doing messy work under the command of an old woman. My legs ache from running, but I dare not complain. Because once I complain, I will be scolded by the old woman, "If you're tired, then leave the company. We don't keep idlers here."
Every time, I can only swallow my grievances. "Damn old woman, I curse your husband to cheat on you, and for your period to leak through your pants."
The people in the office also kept calling out to me, " brother Sun, can you help me pour a cup of coffee?"
I retorted, "Why don't you do it yourself!"
"I have tasks assigned by the company in my hands, which will affect this month's performance," Liu Li said with a smile.
The little girl is said to be the leader's niece. I dare not really offend her, so I can only go and pour her coffee. But this has attracted more people's demands.
"Sun Jun, help me pour a cup of coffee too."
" brother Sun, help me take out the trash."
" brother Sun ……"
Enough, I really can't continue with this job. After helping them finish the work, Sun Jun lay back in the work chair, too tired to even take a sip of cold water before someone called for him.
"Sun Jun, take this document to the general manager's office!" Xu Xue said coldly, referring to the woman in her thirties with heavy makeup.
"I'll go after taking a break," Sun Jun took the document bag.
"No way! If we go now and it affects the company's business, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Old hag!" Sun Jun cursed in his heart, "No wonder she's over thirty and still childless! She's naturally at odds with young people."
I could only helplessly take the documents to the general manager's office on the forty-sixth floor. Dragging my weary body, I arrived at the elevator.
I didn't expect so many people waiting for the elevator today. I'll have to wait forever to squeeze onto the elevator. I estimate there are over a hundred people waiting for the elevator, and each time it arrives, only a few people can get on.
In my mind, the figure of an old woman emerged, and she said to me fiercely, "If you can't deliver the documents in ten minutes, you can get out of the company. Go back to your hometown and farm!" Seeing so many people, I gritted my teeth fiercely and said, "Let's do it!"
I put all my effort into pedaling the two-wheeled vehicle and headed up the stairs on the side.
I rushed from the eighth floor to the forty-sixth floor in one go. This may be the fastest I've ever run in my life, even during my school sports day, I could only run 100 meters in eight seconds.
When Sun Jun arrived at the 46th floor general manager's office, he glanced at his watch and found that it took him nine minutes and fifty seconds, just ten seconds short.
He was already out of breath, panting for several seconds to take in a breath. His face was pale, devoid of any color, as if he might suffocate and die at any moment, or collapse at the door and be taken to the hospital by an ambulance. It's also possible that he might die on the way.
Sun JunI only feel difficulty breathing, I'm almost out of strength even to raise my hand to knock on the door.
The person in the general manager's office heard the knocking and responded quickly, "Come in." It was a clear female voice.
Sun Jun I don't know who the general manager is. He is just a very transparent employee. He rarely gets to attend many meetings, and the leaders he has met are also few.
Sun Jun He pushed open the door listlessly, his face pale, and walked into the manager's office. He felt like his heart was about to explode. At this moment, it was probably beating two hundred times per second, or even more. His body was warning him of severe oxygen deficiency, urging "me" to provide more oxygen. "Where am I supposed to get more oxygen from? Breathing has to come one breath at a time!"
The person inside saw the door open, put down the pen in their hand, raised their lowered head, and looked at the newcomer.
It was a fresh and elegant face, free from the dust of rouge and powder.
"Manager, here are the documents you requested." Sun Jun saw the manager in front of him, looking so attractive, and thought, "I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
He walked steadily, with a firm pace and an upright posture. Each step was stable, his breathing calm and natural. Even his heartbeat quieted down, as if nothing had ever happened.
The female manager had her ID badge hanging on her chest, with the name "Zhang Xiaoting," a very common name but with an extraordinary appearance that could outshine even celebrities. She looked very young. "I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before. She looks even younger than me."
"Zhang Xiaoting" took the documents and set them aside, then lowered her head to continue working on the files. "Sun Jun" stood there, feeling somewhat at a loss.
The manager didn't speak, so he didn't dare to leave on his own, especially since he still had a lingering attachment to this place.
Seeing the manager so young, Sun Jun couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself. "Manager, is there anything else you need? If not, I'll go back to work first." In fact, going back to work meant doing odd jobs for them, but standing here was even more agonizing.
"Imagine if your boss is younger than you, or if you're already 27 years old and your boss is even younger than you, and yet they are already in a high position. How much pressure would you feel?"
"You wait a few minutes first, I need to handle the documents at hand. Feel free to find a place to sit," Zhang Xiaoting detained, her eyes never leaving the work documents. Her naturally fresh and unadorned eyebrows and smooth, naturally flowing hair cascaded down.
Sun Jun casually found a sofa to sit on in the spacious office, carefully observing Zhang Xiaoting's work environment. The entire office was nearly 150 square meters, more spacious than many people's homes, with a high ceiling that gave it a sense of depth. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could overlook the scenery of the entire City A.
"Are you Sun Jun?" Suddenly, a voice spoke to Sun Jun who was looking around.
Sun JunImmediately coming to his senses, he respectfully stood up and said, "Yes, General Manager."
He was curious in his heart, "How does the General Manager know the name of a small person like me?"
"I heard you graduated from Huada University?"
"Yeah." Sun Jun felt embarrassed when asked about this. Huada University is quite well-known nationwide, although it may not be as prestigious as some top universities, it still has a good reputation. He felt uneasy when answering, thinking, "The manager probably looks down on me in his heart."
"How coincidental, I also graduated from Huada."
Sun Jun raised his eyebrows, looking shocked, "Manager, you also graduated from Huada—" Upon hearing this news, he just wanted to find a hole to hide in.
It's really embarrassing. We both graduated from the same university, and now he's the general manager of a company while he's just a menial worker there.
Zhang Xiaoting had a sunny smile on her face, "I graduated from Hua University in 2021."
"Done, done." Sun Jun There is a sense of despair in his heart. He is also a 2021 undergraduate student at Huada University. Both of them graduated at the same time, but their current situations are completely different.
"Which year are you from?"
Sun Jun's face looked a little dazed, as if speaking at that moment was incredibly difficult, as if his mouth had gone mute. "I'm also from the class of '21."
Zhang Xiaoting showed a hint of interest on her face, got up and walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water for him and herself, and handed it to Sun Jun.
Sun Jun Thank you in a hurry, I didn't expect the general manager to personally pour water for him. It made him feel a little nervous. Observing Zhang Xiaoting up close, she is truly a superior with a gentle temperament and good looks, making people feel no pressure, as if being bathed in a spring breeze.
"Don't be nervous. We are alumni. Haven't you heard of me at school? My name is Zhang Xiaoxue. I once participated in the campus singer competition and was the top ten singer in my freshman year." She smiled, as if reminiscing about her student days, somewhat intoxicated by them. The work uniform had no effect on her, unable to conceal her vibrancy.
When she said this, Sun Jun remembered that he had participated in the university student union when he was a freshman, and had been involved in organizing the campus Top Ten Singers competition. During the process, he had seen a girl as beautiful as a fairy, who was also one of the contestants. At that time, the girl encountered some problems during the competition, and he had helped to deal with them.
After the competition, he never saw that girl again, which became a regret in his life. Later, he thought, "Why didn't I dare to ask for that girl's WeChat at that time!"
Sun Jun Suddenly, no wonder I felt a little familiar when I first saw Zhang Xiaoting. It turns out she is the girl I met in my freshman year!
His calm heart suddenly became active like still water coming to life.
But thinking about their completely different situations, the restless fire extinguished again, "I can only pretend to be strangers..."
The regret of life originates from the missed opportunity.
