She came with the light

Inside Kaimei Company, the offices on the lower floors are bustling with activity. Employees sit at their seats, either making spreadsheets or drawing designs, each busy with their own tasks.

Only in the general manager's office on the fifth floor, Cheng Xiaoxiao and Xu Xiaosen were sitting in their seats bored, scrolling through their phones.

"I heard that the entertainment superstar LEO is actually dating ALICE. Did you know?" Xu Xiaosen would share any explosive news he saw with Cheng Xiaoxiao.

This morning, Cheng Xiaoxiao had heard Xu Xiaosen tell her different news twenty or thirty times. The content was so wide that Cheng Xiaoxiao was secretly amazed.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao had been listening to explosive news for the whole morning and was completely exhausted and not in the right state of mind.

Xu Xiaosen was still sharing excitedly, and Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to interrupt Xu Xiaosen's good mood, so she could only respond intermittently.

Cheng Xiaoxiao flipped through her phone out of boredom. It showed 11:30. Cheng Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Oh my God, is it already half past eleven?"

Xu Xiaosen seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago, and said in a very calm tone, "Yes."

Looking at the closed office door next to him, Cheng Xiaoxiao asked Xu Xiaosen, "Is Mr. Chen coming back?"

Xu Xiaosen looked at the door and said, "Probably he won't be coming back."

Cheng Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Is Mr. Chen always like this?"

Xu Xiaosen nodded. "It's already this time, and he hasn't come back yet. He probably won't come in the morning."

Cheng Xiaoxiao took note of it carefully. The salary and benefits of this job were not bad, and the work was easy, so she had to keep this job.

As the general manager of the company, since you are sitting in this office, you probably need to have some understanding of his preferences.

Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly warned herself to follow and learn well.

If she lost this job, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to go back and face her father and beg him to find her a job.

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to do such a thing. Moreover, now that she had quarreled with her father and didn't talk to him, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to beg him in this situation.

As for going to Lu Li's company, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to go.

It’s not so much that Cheng Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to go to Lu Li’s company, but rather that Cheng Xiaoxiao is afraid of troubling Lu Li too much and is worried that she will cause Lu Li a lot of trouble.

In fact, Lu Li didn’t mind Cheng Xiaoxiao bothering him at all. Instead, he hoped that Cheng Xiaoxiao would bother him more.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao herself didn't know.

"What time do you get off work at noon?" Cheng Xiaoxiao poked Xu Xiaosen who was looking at his phone.

It’s strange to say, but I don’t know what Xu Xiaosen is looking at at this moment, he is very focused.

Cheng Xiaoxiao poked him several times before Xu Xiaosen came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the confused Xu Xiaosen and suddenly laughed, "Didn't you hear anything at all?"

Xu Xiaosen nodded very seriously. His adorable look made Cheng Xiaoxiao raise her eyebrows and laugh.

"I was just asking, what time do we get off work at noon?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked the question again.

"Oh, this. Didn't the HR manager tell you?" Xu Xiaosen asked back.

"No, the HR manager just said to follow the general manager's arrangements. I was wondering what was going on until she brought me up, and it turned out to be the front desk clenched at the door of the general manager's office." Cheng Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

"Hahaha, isn't this front desk good?" Xu Xiaosen laughed heartily.

"Okay. But I originally thought it was the front desk on the first floor." Cheng Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, and her beautiful eyebrows curved into a line.

"It's so great here. We're free and don't have to wear uniforms. There are no other restrictions. The most important thing is that the salary is higher than the front desk clerk on the first floor." Xu Xiaosen stretched out his finger and made a "yeah" gesture.

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, "That's true."

As if she suddenly remembered something, Cheng Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "After talking so much, what time do you get off work at noon? I'm hungry..."

Xu Xiaosen looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao's aggrieved expression and suddenly laughed, "Get off work at twelve o'clock. You are such a beautiful and charming lady, and your expression is so cute."

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Beautiful women also need to eat. When they feel hungry, they will feel hungry."

Xu Xiaosen gave a thumbs up and said, "It has to be you."

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at her phone. There were still twenty minutes left. The hungrier she was, the more she felt that this time was too unbearable.

After Xu Xiaosen finished speaking, he lowered his head again. Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Xiaosen, who was concentrating on his phone, and said with a sad face, "You are really able to endure."

After two years of work, Xu Xiaosen has become accustomed to going to work at 9 a.m., getting off work at 12 noon, going downstairs to eat, and getting off work at p.m.

Xu Xiaosen didn't find it difficult and always felt that this job was quite easy.

Although he worked outside the general manager's office, Mr. Chen was a very nice person and never let Xu Xiaosen work overtime.

Xu Xiaosen looked at the worried Cheng Xiaoxiao and said, "Just be content. You just met Mr. Chen. When you get off work, take a look at the offices upstairs. They are all working overtime."

"At night, except for our company, the whole building is brightly lit," Xu Xiaosen added specially.

"Really?" Cheng Xiaoxiao had seen her father come home late before, but every time she thought he just went out to eat, so that's why he came back late.

Cheng Xiaoxiao never thought that her father was working overtime.

I still remember that on my birthday when I was a child, Mother Cheng asked Aunt Cui to prepare the meal and put the birthday cake on the table.

Mother Cheng called Father Cheng many times, but Father Cheng didn't come back.

Originally, Cheng's father had promised to bring a doll to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and Cheng Xiaoxiao excitedly waited for the whole day.

Until Cheng Xiaoxiao sat at the dining table in the evening, she was still asking her mother, "What kind of doll will Dad bring me when he comes home in the evening?"

Mother Cheng smiled and replied, "I don't know. You will see it when your father comes back."

Cheng Xiaoxiao still remembers it to this day. It was a winter night and the weather was particularly cold.

Although Cheng Xiaoxiao was sitting at home and keeping warm, the plants in the yard outside the villa were swaying left and right in the cold wind.

Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at the gate for a long time that day, but Cheng's father didn't come back.

When Cheng's mother called Cheng's father, the tone was always busy.

Aunt Cui reheated the food on the table many times, but there was still no news from Father Cheng. Cheng Xiaoxiao saw a look of disappointment on Mother Cheng's face.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't want to make her mother sad, so she told her mother like a little adult, "Mom, why don't we eat first? Don't wait for Dad."

Mother Cheng nodded with tears in her eyes.

As far as she could remember, that was the first time she saw her mother cry.
