Upon returning to the department, Wang Xue noticed that her colleagues, who had been quietly seated in their chairs when she first arrived, were now gathered in a small circle near the manager's office, whispering excitedly among themselves. Their expressions were filled with enthusiasm.
Wang Xue quietly moved behind Sister Xu, who was now a mother. She saw Sister Xu gently stroking her cheek, looking somewhat bashful as she said, "I really didn't expect him to be this handsome..."
"Who is so handsome?" Wang Xue cautiously interjected.
Xiao Mei, standing next to Sister Xu, shot her a glance and then cupped her face with both hands, gazing at the manager's office door at a forty-five-degree angle. She exclaimed, "Of course, it's our new manager, Liu Zeran, known in the industry as Kai Yi, A Single Flower!"
Kai Yi was the name of the company where Liu Zeran had worked before.
"Kai Yi, A Single Flower? That’s a nice name... But I’m now Yuan Teng, A Single Flower," Wang Xue replied.
Suddenly, a melodious male voice came from behind her, laced with a hint of playful teasing.
The colleagues who had been engrossed in gossip felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing the voice. Before anyone could speak, they instinctively scattered like birds startled from their perch, leaving Wang Xue standing alone in confusion, staring blankly at the man holding a cup of coffee.
He was truly exceptionally handsome...
Liu Zeran gently touched his face and smiled as he asked, "You must be Wang Xue, the new recruit starting today like me?"
Wang Xue was taken aback. "Oh... How did you know?"
Liu Zeran pointed to himself with a grin. "Anyone who sees me for the first time is usually captivated by my looks. Right now, you’re the only one staring at me blankly; it’s clear you weren’t here just now."
This guy is really self-absorbed...
It seemed Liu Zeran could read Wang Xue's thoughts. He smirked slightly and added, "Just kidding! When I arrived earlier, I met all the other colleagues, so I have impressions of everyone except you."
Wang Xue immediately put on a look of surprise. "Huh? You can remember someone you've only met once? Your memory is really impressive!"
"Um, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong..." Wang Xue felt a bit nervous as she looked at Liu Zeran's helpless expression.
Liu Zeran sighed softly, murmuring to himself, "Jian Youming said you have trouble grasping the main points, and it seems he was right..."
"You know Jian Youming well?" He actually called him by his first name.
"Well, we are quite familiar. You might not know this, but my sister Liu Zerou is someone I introduced to him," Liu Zeran's eyes flickered with an elusive light. Perhaps it was a bit awkward for a guy to play matchmaker; a hint of shyness crept onto his face.
Liu Zerou? Who is she? Is she Jian Youming's girlfriend?
Why had she never heard of such a person? Could it be that they were in a genuine relationship, and Jian Youming was protecting her very well?
Wang Xue's expression instantly fell. Although she had always harbored resentment towards Jian Youming for the scars he had left her, they had grown up together... Why wouldn't he share such an important matter with her?
She couldn't help but wonder what Liu Zerou looked like. With Jian Youming being so outstanding and Liu Zeran so handsome, Liu Zerou must be an incredibly beautiful woman...
As Wang Xue lost herself in thought, she was completely unaware that all her expressions were being observed by others.
Liu Zeran narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he tried hard to maintain a smile, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of displeasure. He shifted his gaze and gently clapped his hands to get the attention of the people in the office who had been eavesdropping instead of working.
With a smile, Liu Zeran said, "I know everyone has been busy with the recent project for nearly half a month. Today, let's celebrate my joining the company and welcome our new member Wang Xue. I'll treat everyone to karaoke tonight, how does that sound?!"
Xiao Mei excitedly screamed, "Manager, I love you!" Her voice was quickly drowned out by the laughter and cheers of everyone around.
After chatting briefly with a few lively employees, Liu Zeran quickly confirmed the time and place for singing. He then lowered his head to look at Wang Xue, who was still giggling foolishly along with others. "Make sure to join us tonight."
Wang Xue felt a bit flustered and quickly waved her hands, saying, "I... I think I won't go. I can't sing..."
Liu Zeran pretended to frown. "That won't do. You just heard that this event is held to welcome you. If you don't go, what meaning does the event have?"
With her superior putting it this way, Wang Xue, though reluctant, nodded in agreement. Liu Zeran's expression instantly brightened, and he even reached out to pat her head, saying, "Good girl."
Watching Liu Zeran's expression change faster than a chameleon, Wang Xue suddenly felt as if she had been set up... Just then, her coat pocket vibrated. She hurriedly stepped aside to take out her phone and saw that the screen displayed "Jian Youming," so she quickly answered the call.
"Hello?"
"I'm treating you to dinner tonight." The other party spoke after a brief silence, and his tone seemed a bit awkward.
"Ah? Tonight? But our department is going out to sing together..."
"Forget it then. I didn't really want to treat you anyway; if you don't want to eat, that's even better!" Jian Youming said angrily before hanging up.
Wang Xue held the phone that had already turned into a busy signal and couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy.
She glanced at Liu Zeran standing beside her and noticed that his expression wasn't very good either. Wang Xue thought that being so close, he must have heard her conversation with Jian Youming; perhaps he was sympathizing with her for being yelled at for no reason.
Had Jian Youming spent all these years living in anger? In just a few short hours, she had seen him get angry multiple times. With such a temperament... it must be hard on his health.
