The Deepest Color of the Night

The next day, Fang Jin went back to work in the company. When he entered the door, he saw the female director of the personnel department waiting at the door of the assistant's office, looking hesitant to speak.

"Director Xu?" Fang Jin wondered.

Xu Cai pointed to the stack of documents in her hand: "Assistant Fang, can I come to discuss your employment contract?"

Fang Jin didn't understand, so he opened the door of the office and made a gesture of invitation.

When Fang Jin was sent down to Gu Yuan's company, he was assigned a small office facing north. What's more, it was in the middle of the office building, with only overhead vents and no external windows.Fang Jin didn't say anything at the time, but after a while, Gu Yuan got used to the hangover soup, so he reciprocated, and took the initiative to tell the personnel department to change to a spacious and bright office.

The office building is next to the harbor, and the floor-to-ceiling windows can overlook the blue water. There is also a small inner window on the other side, which leads directly to the general manager's office. Through the glass, you can directly see the movements of Gu Yuan on the opposite side.

Fang Jin opened the seat for Xu Cai, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw that the inner window was covered with a white cloth.

It was from Gu Yuan's side.

Fang Jin: "..."

Fang Jin collected himself, sat behind the desk, and motioned to the female supervisor: "Please speak."

Xu Cai also saw that layer of cloth, and the corners of her eyes twitched a few times.

"...It's like this. After the quarterly performance review of personnel, we decided to increase your current salary by 60.00%. The year-end bonus, company communications, use of transportation facilities, and travel subsidies have all been greatly improved. At the same time, there are Follow-up welfare measures are specified in the contract."

She handed over a stack of documents in her hand, and Fang Jin opened them for a few glances, a little puzzled: "Is this the meaning of the Human Resources Department?"

"That's right," Xu Cai immediately expressed her opinion, and then coughed again: "In addition, there have been corresponding changes in the contract period..."

Fang Jin quickly turned back, and saw that the contract period had been changed to ten years. If the employment relationship was terminated before the expiration date, he would need to pay several times the liquidated damages, and because of the confidentiality of the position, there would be a ten-year declassification period after resignation. , During the declassification period, you cannot apply for a job in the same industry.

In the remarks table after the contract, there is a detailed list of companies in the same industry, covering almost all large and medium-sized enterprises involved in the shipping and telecommunications industries, and there is a dense and long list.If this contract is really implemented, Fang Jin should not think about resigning at all, because unless he changes careers completely, he will starve to death.

Xu Cai has been an old man for many years, and probably feels that it is very inappropriate, her always calm voice is a little weak: "Although the conditions are a bit harsh, the treatment is still negotiable. We can formulate a set of performance review for you as an assistant. Standard, reexamination every six months, salary can be raised accordingly according to the result..."

Fang Jin asked: "Is this really a personnel decision?"

Xu Cai said without confidence: "Of course."

Fang Jin looked at her, suddenly smiled, picked up a pen and signed the contract.

He didn't hesitate in his actions. After signing, he directly handed over the documents together, which stunned Xu Cai slightly: "...Assistant Fang, don't you really need to think about it?"

"No," Fang Jin said gently, "I hope so too."

When he said this, there seemed to be a slight smile overflowing from his eyes, which made him look extremely soft and tender, and Xu Cai couldn't help being slightly stunned.

·

After the female supervisor left, Jin sat behind the desk for a while, staring at the window hung with white cloth.

This morning, he drove to the apartment in the city center to pick up Gu Yuan as usual when he went to work, but when he arrived, Gu Yuan had already taken the driver's car and left.Now that I think about it, he came to the office early on purpose for this purpose—he could almost imagine the scene where Gu Yuan took a hammer and nails, rattled them for a long time, and then satisfactorily hung up the white cloth.

Fang Jin got up and walked to the inner window, leaning over to look inside.

Now Xu Cai should go to the general manager's office to report to Gu Yuan that he signed the contract. I don't know what expression Gu Yuan will have on his face.

Don't you want me to resign?Fang Jin thought.

As long as you don't fire me, I really will never resign in my life, and it doesn't matter if I don't raise my salary.

The white cloth is very light-transmitting, and through the glass, you can vaguely see the movement in the opposite office.Fang Jinzheng squinted his eyes and leaned against the wall to look carefully, when suddenly his eyes went dark.

I saw another layer of something hanging behind the white cloth on the opposite side - it should be Gu Yuan's suit.

Fang Jin: "..."

·

Gu Yuan didn't come to look for him the whole morning, but because of this, Fang Jin suddenly felt a lot more free.

When it was time for lunch, he took his own and Gu Yuan's two lunch boxes to heat up as usual - he prepared them at home.Gu Yuan eats home-cooked food every Monday at noon, and does not arrange lunch meetings with others, so he prepares a lunch box with three dishes and one soup at home every Sunday night, and sends it to the general manager's office the next day when it is heated.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Jin pushed the door, Gu Yuan came out with his mobile phone, and the two immediately ran into each other in the corridor.

Fang Jin paused, only to see Gu Yuan cast a cold glance at him, then passed by and walked towards the elevator.

...Is this for dinner?

Fang Jin hesitated for a moment, then walked quickly to the window at the end of the company corridor.Through the glass, you can see the gate of the high-end office building, and you can see Gu Yuan striding down the steps, his back in a high-end custom black suit looks elegant.On the street not far away, a Mercedes-Benz luxury car was parked on the sidewalk, and a slender woman wearing sunglasses was standing by the rear door waiting for him.

Fang Jin recognized the woman.It is said that he is a student of an art school and was taken care of by Gu Yuan for a period of time. He has a good personality and looks very beautiful. When Fang Jin drove Gu Yuan to a tryst, she even invited him to drink milk tea by the way.

Fang Jin's eyes reflected the back of Gu Yuan walking straight towards the woman, he looked away after a while, and let out a soft self-deprecating breath.

He carried the paper bag to the company's tea room and stood in front of the microwave oven, a little unsure what to do with Gu Yuan's lunch box.He made stir-fried tender beef with chili, dry-stir-fried green beans, pan-fried pangasius, and a box of steamed bone soup boiled milky white and delicious.He certainly couldn't eat two servings himself, and it would be a pity to throw them away. Could it be that Gu Yuan kept them for dinner?

Don't be kidding, he wouldn't dare to ask Young Master Gu to eat the leftover meal of the whole day if he had the guts.

So just find someone to give away the lunch box?Fang Jin was thinking about who to give it to, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Assistant Fang? What are you doing, let's go to dinner together?"

Fang Jin turned his head and recognized Xie Hengyi, the company's new CTO.

This CTO has been here for less than two months, and he has already captured the hearts of the entire company, from the 48-year-old female vice president to the interns. Every day, the company forum updates the latest candid high-definition pictures of Wuli male gods and manually sticks them to the top, which is enough to prove that Popularity beats the indifferent, harsh, and unreasonable Young Master Gu for eighteen streets.

The CTO poked his head in and took a look, sniffing: "I'm going to see your daughter-in-law, it's not bad, she cooks so many dishes. Hey, people with girlfriends have a comfortable life. I'm going down to eat lunch, see you later!"

Fang Jin's heart moved: "Wait-hey, do you want to eat this meal?"

The CTO was shocked: "Give it to me?"

"I brought an extra copy today, but I can't eat it. You can wash the lunch box for me later."

"—Oh, that's great!" The CTO immediately came in rubbing his hands, happily taking the lunch box to warm it up.

Fang Jin heated up the rice first, then slowly washed the chopsticks and spoons under the faucet, and took out a paper towel to carefully wrap the bottom of the lunch box to prevent the oil from seeping out. The CTO was waiting for the microwave to heat up the food, and chatted up casually: "Your girlfriend cooks at home every day? Doesn't it bother you?"

This kind of single technical men generally assume that if you bring food, it means you have a girlfriend. Fang Jin was about to say that I did this, but suddenly a subtle feeling moved in his heart from nowhere, and he said: "Also... well, I don't do it every day."

"Good girl." The CTO sighed endlessly: "Is she pretty? You are very virtuous, right?"

In Fang Jin's mind, Gu Yuan's handsome face seemed to be flawless, and he smiled slightly and said, "It's beautiful."

"You have a good personality too, don't you?"

"Well...sometimes I also lose my temper."

"That's normal. When I had a girlfriend before—hey..." The CTO shook his head vicissitudes, with the expression of a person who has experienced it: "People are beautiful and cook, and it's normal to have a temper and a small temper." .A man should not haggle over every detail with a woman. If you have to give in, just give in. As long as you can get by, even if your hair is a little green..."

Fang Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I will let it."

The microwave oven dinged, and the CTO couldn't wait to take out the lunch box, and took a deep breath intoxicatedly: "Wow—it smells so good!" Then he grabbed the spoon provided in the pantry, didn't wash it, and just dug out a big mouthful of tender fried rice. The veal was stuffed into his mouth mixed with rice.

Fang Jin was about to say that you should eat slowly and don't choke, when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Gu Yuan's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the tea room.

Fang Jin turned his head to look, and was immediately stunned.

Gu Yuan was still talking on his cell phone, but stopped walking, and stood outside the door staring at the CTO.His originally indifferent eyes were more like ice slag mixed at this moment, his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if countless storms gathered around him.

As soon as the CTO opened his mouth, rice grains fell down: "Boss... Boss?"

Gu Yuan looked at Fang Jin expressionlessly, then walked back to the office without saying a word, bang!The door was slammed shut with a loud bang.

·

At noon that day, Fang Jin thought several times whether he should give up his meal to Gu Yuan, but before he could muster up the courage to knock on the door of the general manager's office, Gu Yuan slammed the door again. Xiaoqinger went.

The reason why Fang Jin knew his whereabouts was because he asked Xiao Qing'er to drive the luxury car directly downstairs of the company, and parked there majesticly at noon when the traffic was the largest, making passers-by all the way turn their heads. Didn't even care about getting a parking ticket.

Fang Jinshi ate without taste, and often lost his mind when working in the afternoon.

He originally had a work meeting to preside over Gu Yuan's place, but in the middle of the financial manager's report, he suddenly lost his mind and stared quietly at the Montblanc pen in his hand, without blinking his long and thick eyelashes. When the report was over, everyone applauded without responding.

The financial manager was terrified.

Assistant Fang has been transferred from the head office for a few months, and has established a high prestige here. It is well known that his analysis and suggestions can often change the direction of Mr. Gu's decision-making. But the struggles of his life never escaped his eyes.

Everyone just wants to have a good relationship with him, even if they don't get a good word from him at the critical moment, don't suddenly stab him in the face, and there is nowhere to cry after suffering a loss.

After the meeting, the financial manager pretended to walk in front of Fang Jin unintentionally. When he opened the door, he suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "It's going to rain today, but what should I do if my car is being repaired? It's not easy to get off the bus at night." .”

Fang Jin didn't react for a while, and said casually, "Then I'll give you a ride."

The financial manager laughed and waved his hands: "No, no, no, no wonder we all say that Assistant Fang is a good person, and I always answer for your help--I just call my wife to pick it up!"

Fang Jin just drifted his mind for a while, but the keen sense of smell cultivated in the head office of the Gu Family Group since he was a boy is still there. Hearing this, he understood that this person just wanted to test his attitude, and couldn't help but smile.

He ignored the attentive financial manager, nodded politely and walked out.

·

Gu Yuan didn't go back to the company all afternoon. It's hard for him to spare a whole afternoon to make love in the daily rhythm of working continuously for more than twelve hours a day. This is the first time in history.

Is it just eating at the mistress's house and working remotely?As soon as this idea came to Fang Jin's mind, he shook his head mockingly.

People's greed is really endless. When I couldn't see him all day before, I thought it would be nice if I worked with him.Later, I became his assistant, thinking that it would be great if Young Master Gu had a better attitude.Now Gu Yuan's attitude is obviously much better than the previous indifferent appearance, and he even hopes that he will not talk to his mistress again.

Who the hell am I? I really think of Young Master Gu as my girlfriend?Fang Jin imagined the scene where Gu Yuan, 1.8 meters [-] strong and capable, opened the door to himself in a pink apron expressionlessly and said, "You're back!", and suddenly burst out laughing.

Nothing to do in the afternoon, Fang Jin simply greeted the secretary and left work early.Unexpectedly, when he walked to the downstairs lobby of the company, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure of a woman sitting on the sofa at the front desk, with long hair and a black dress, with a graceful figure and an Hermes crocodile leather handbag. It's late autumn!

Chi Qiu elegantly covered her mouth and laughed, standing in front of the CTO Xie Hengyi who was beaming and saying something.This kind of scene has happened almost every day since Xie Hengyi came to the company, and every time it happens, there will be a girlish heart in his body, Fang Jin feels dizzy when he sees it, and immediately strode over: "Mr. Xie! "

"Hey Assistant Fang!" The CTO turned around and said enthusiastically, "Oh, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Chi. Come to our company to find someone..."

Chi Qiu looked at Fang Jin with her big eyes with exquisite makeup, and then smiled slightly: "Assistant Fang, we meet again."

"Huh? You two know each other?" Before the CTO could react, Fang Jin nodded to Chi Qiu, and then pulled him aside.

"Do you know who she is?"

"I know, she is the goddess of my dreams!" The CTO's face was full of star-like happiness: "As soon as I saw her, I fell into the No. 18 first love in my life, ah! In the vast sea of ​​people, it's just because I have so many I took a look at you, your big bright eyes, your bright red lips..."

"She is Gu's second young aunt's cousin, and she is going to introduce her to Mr. Gu as his girlfriend." Fang Jin said calmly, saying that you have eaten her food, and you want to pry his prospective girlfriend. Mr. Xie, please touch the one on your neck Is the round thing still there?

The CTO was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Fang Jin stared at him coldly with black and white eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The CTO was at a loss and couldn't speak, Fang Jin walked past him, walked towards Chi Qiu who was reclining gracefully by the arm of the sofa, and politely said, "Miss Chi."

"I made an appointment with you, Mr. Gu, at four o'clock, and it's almost 04:30 now." Chi Qiu pointed to the famous Van Cleef & Arpels watch on her wrist, and asked with a smile, "I don't answer his calls, and the front desk doesn't answer them." I know where he has gone. I am about to ask them to find you, do you suggest that I go home today, or continue to wait here for a while?"

Fang Jin was taken aback for a moment, then said naturally, "I'm sorry, I'll call him to remind him."

Gu Yuan went out to look for Xiao Qing'er in a fit of anger today, probably because he forgot about Chi Qiu, but it's hard to say if he deliberately left her alone.Fang Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally did not call, and sent a text message to Gu Yuan: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Chi is downstairs at the company, and she said she has an appointment with you at four o'clock?"

As soon as the text message was sent, Fang Jin didn't have time to put down the phone, and then came a reply: "Call her over."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuan shared an address, and Fang Jin saw it was his mistress's home.

·

After 5 minutes, he started the car. It was hard to imagine what kind of Shura field was waiting for him in front of him. He only hoped that his mistress would not come downstairs when he delivered Chi Qiu.

Chi Qiu sat on the co-pilot, smiled and asked, "Are we going to Mr. Gu's house?"

"...is one of Mr. Gu's industries."

Chi Qiu nodded, and said meaningfully: "One of the industries."

Fang Jinxin said that I really didn't expect how sensitive women can be.He could only sigh in his heart, skillfully turned on the lights and turned the steering wheel, and the silver Lexus slid into the traffic on the street like a fish swimming.

Chi Qiu quietly watched the receding buildings and vehicles outside the car window, and didn't speak for a long time.Her taste in dress is far from that of those art school girls and [-]th-line starlets. She is very charming just sitting on the sidelines. The perfume on her body is dark and fragrant, which is particularly clear in the closed compartment.

Fang Jin parked the car firmly at a red light intersection, when suddenly she turned her face and said, "Assistant Fang."

"Please say."

"Guess what I was watching just now?" Chi Qiu said with a smile.

Fang Jin frowned, "... Pedestrian?"

"Do not."

"Street view?"

"Do not."

"..." Fang Jin looked at her suspiciously, but saw that her expression remained unchanged, and she smiled, "I'm looking at you through the reflection."

Fang Jin was slightly taken aback.

"I was wondering how good-tempered you are, so that you can endure Gu Yuan's egomaniac who occasionally teases you maliciously and takes it out on you when he has nothing to do?" Chi Qiu dragged her cheeks with a beautiful hand, and said with great interest. Looking at Fang Jin's side face where he could hardly find any flaws: "Forgive me, but I might have resigned after the reception that day, and if it was bad, I would have to slap him hard on the face, and then take turns to slap him. My face is full of peach blossoms."

Fang Jin knew that she saw that he was the one who played with Gu Yuan in the garden that night, and he said seriously: "I'm sorry Miss Chi, I didn't mean it that day... Mr. Gu didn't treat me like you imagined either."

"Oh? How was that?"

Fang Jin instinctively wanted to explain something for Gu Yuan, but he choked up before he could speak.

He wanted to say that Mr. Gu is actually very kind to me, but what's so good about it?His first reaction was the preserved egg and lean meat porridge at the reception that day, but immediately afterward, his memory was overshadowed by the garden, starlight, that borrowed kiss, and Gu Yuan's last cold and disgusted eyes.

...In fact, Gu Yuan's disgusted eyes are also very handsome, Fang Jin thought bitterly, and said to Chi Qiu: "Mr. Gu treats his subordinates well, although sometimes he can't control his temper, but he is really not the kind of troublesome person." The boss, the employee benefits are also very good..."

Chi Qiu looked at him jokingly: "Is there a bug installed in this car? Why do I feel like you're brainwashing yourself."

"A lot of things are not as you imagined." Fang Jin said slightly seriously: "And miss, my temper is not as good as you see."

Chi Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and then the green light turned on, and Fang Jin stepped on the accelerator without saying a word.

·

Probably seeing that Fang Jin was a little unhappy along the way, Chi Qiu didn't talk to him again, and the car slowly stopped at the location shared by Gu Yuan two or ten minutes later - it was a high-end hotel apartment area in the city center, even in G The city is also known for its high land prices.

Gu Yuan is busy with work, so he can't be patient with Xiao Qing'er. In most cases, it's just a money exchange between you and me.But one advantage of him is that he is generous, and he should be given a lot of treatment. During the holidays, he pays benefits on time just like he does to company employees, so the industry's reputation is actually quite good.

Fang Jin stopped the car and sent a text message to Gu Yuan, half a minute later someone knocked on the car window.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Yuan standing by the car door, his handsome face covered with frost, the fury in his eyes was completely undisguised, behind him was the art school girl who went to pick him up from the company downstairs today.

As soon as Fang Jin unlocked it, Gu Yuan hurriedly opened the car door, without even giving him a chance to explain, he directly asked, "Why are you here?"

"I……"

"I asked you to 'call her over', which means to give her the address and let her come here by taxi, by car, by foot, or by crawling! I don't want you to be her driver! You are my assistant, you want to be my assistant. I can only be the driver, and you can let any cat or dog on the street get in your car, right?!"

Gu Yuan's tall body was condescending, and the sharp shadow almost completely enveloped Fang Jin in the driver's seat, and the mistress behind him took half a step back in fear.

On the other side, Chi Qiu poked his head out from the co-pilot, looked at his mistress with great interest, then at Fang Jin, and sighed leisurely: "...you are good."

Before Fang Jin could stop it, Gu Yuan's storm immediately found another outlet.

He strode to the side of the co-pilot, opened the car door with one hand, and looked down at Chi Qiu like a king descended into the world. At that moment, the aura around him was enough to condense the tiny Chi Qiu into the center of the earth: "Go to the back seat " He said coldly, "—the passenger seat is mine."
