Say it's only once

Summer went to winter solstice, and as soon as December entered, Ningcheng had the first snow of the year, covering the streets and alleys with a light layer of white gauze.

The morning sun sprinkled with fresh snow added a bit of softness to this fast-paced big city.

In order to avoid rush hour, Chi Jinru arrived at the office half an hour earlier than usual, took off his leather gloves and put them in his bag, took out a towel and meticulously wiped the desk and keyboard, washed his hands before sitting down and turning on the phone.

She is used to arranging the things at hand in advance, and when her subordinates arrive at the company, they hold a small meeting to follow up on the progress of the previous tasks.

Just logged on to the computer version of WeChat, a message popped up.

[Are you free at noon, have dinner together? 】

Chi Jin didn't reply, and Cui Lin didn't give up as before, pretending to be nothing the next day and continuing to ask, one message after another popped up.

[I'm very sorry for what happened, I'm sorry for you. 】【It is suspected of sophistry to say these now, but I still want to explain the whole situation, you have the right to know. 】【It started by accident. I drank too much during a business trip. When I woke up, I thought about telling you the story. Forgive my cowardice and lack of courage. 】【Let's talk, Chi Jin. 】

If it was in the past, Chi Jin would have ridiculed him from head to toe every word.

Not today.

Sitting in a one-person office, she stared at the words "I drank too much", and naturally recalled the obsession in her memory half a year ago——

Get drunk and spend the night with women.

Now that I think about that morning, even though I gave the money with good intentions, no matter how I think about it afterwards, I feel that this behavior is a bit like buying sex. I don’t blame the girl for saying "Thank you boss" for stabbing her.

She remembered the girl's name, Ji Ran.

Chi Jin has a character that would rather others blame me than others.

The girl helped her, and she proposed the one-night stand on her own initiative, and she made such an insulting gesture of giving money afterwards, obviously there is a better way.

She called the photography studio to find Ji Ran, wanted to invite her to dinner, and apologized in person, but was told that Ji Ran had resigned and left, and the phone number she asked showed an empty number.

Disappeared without a sound.

The confused night that existed in memory, now can really be regarded as what Chi Jin expected at the beginning——

Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know and I know, and no third person knows.

The anxiety of being found out about a one-night stand is gone, but there is a little bit of unexplainable regret.

"Mr. Chi, the practice of this school's enrollment is over. I'm going back to the headquarters today. Are you free in the afternoon? There is a school enrollment practice sharing meeting in the afternoon, and the heads of other departments will go."

Chi Jin's thoughts were interrupted by the inside line, and he replied: "Yes."

in the afternoon.

"Mr. Chi, only 110 people were recruited this year, and eight people were left in the headquarters, and the rest were transferred to the branch."

Zhang Fang followed suit and followed Chi Jin in the direction of meeting room 5.

At this time, Mr. Zheng and his assistant happened to be passing by. Zhang Fang lowered his voice after reaching the edge of his mouth: "Mr. Zheng, he said a long time ago that there is a shortage of people, and that they want four."

The training mode for the recruiting of Landi School is to go to various sales offices to sell houses first, and return to the company after half a year to do a practical sharing session. The leaders are named as observers, in fact, they select seedlings based on performance.

Last year, the property market restricted purchases and prices, and Blueland’s performance fell by a large margin. The annual business target was not achieved. In addition to the general environment, the school recruited hundreds of people in previous years, but this year it only recruited 110 people, and only eight people were assigned to the headquarters.

But the house didn't sell well, and there was no shortage of work to be done. Chi Jin's team was already overloaded, and one was used as two. This time, she needed at least three people.

Blue Land focuses on residential projects, and it is also the project that Chi Jin is in charge of.

Zheng Ming is in charge of commercial real estate, which is a new business line in recent years. Eight people actually want to leave four, and the tone is not small.

Zheng Ming and his assistant had already walked in front of them.

Chi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let's go."

The meeting room No. 5 is not big, and it is not a big problem for ten people to hold a report meeting.

Today, because the heads of various departments came to observe the practical sharing session of the school recruiting children, it seemed a little crowded.

The meeting room is bustling with activity. The newcomers are standing in a row, cleverly chatting with the leaders who arrived earlier.

The eyes of the crowd cast a glance at the corner of the first row intentionally or unintentionally——

The girl carried an old satchel on one shoulder, with her hands in her trouser pockets.She was wearing a sea blue plush sweater, and her hair was only as long as the earlobe, revealing her white and thin earlobes.The straight and thin legs wrapped under the jeans have a beautiful line.

The eyebrows raised slightly by nature always seem to be a little surprised.

Like a college student who broke in by accident, he looked out of place in the conference room.

It's not surprising that Chi Jin stared at Ji Ran in a daze.

She is not alone.

Some people just stand there and don't need to do anything, they can naturally become the attention of the crowd, like Ji Ran.

If it weren't for Chi Jin, who has always regarded punctuality as the first virtue, he wouldn't have been so intimidated by his beauty that he forgot to express his dissatisfaction when he first met.

Ji Ran turned his head to meet Shang Chijin's gaze.

She froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows vividly, and a smile floated on her lips before she could open her mouth.

Chi Jin looked away, and Ji Ran's smile was lingering on his lips.

"Strange, didn't you say eight, how come there are nine?" Zhang Fang muttered in a low voice.

Interrupted by Ji Ran who appeared unexpectedly, Chi Jin looked at the others and counted them, and there were indeed nine of them.

When the eight people in front were giving reports, Chi Jin sat in the back row and memorized the details in his notebook. She circled the name of Miaozi who was interested.

The quality of enrollment in this year's school was not very high. After listening to eight of them, she was only satisfied with one, and one was acceptable, and the remaining six were not very satisfied.

She only circled two.

When Ji Ran went up, she stood there, and the ordinary stage seemed to add starlight, and the eyes of the entire conference room were focused on her alone.

"Good afternoon, everyone, my name is Ji Ran."

Her voice was a little hoarse and lazy, and her eyes were looking straight ahead, falling into Chi Jin's eyes.

Chi Jin lowered his head, held the pen and circled among the remaining six people just now, and circled the third one for a long time.

After the nine newcomers finished sharing, Zheng Ming took the lead and stood up to applaud. Others echoed a few times. Chi Jin didn't move. After quietly watching him stop applauding, he was the first to say: "Not bad, not bad. It's really a generation of talents now." People come out! Our commercial projects are just when we need people, and there are many projects and opportunities, and I think these small partners are very suitable."

He read four names.

The personnel department and the finance department finally stopped being quiet and called out Ji Ran by name.

Chi Jin is not surprised. The personnel department and the finance department are very different from the women in other companies. They are all men. It is not surprising that they want women to join, let alone beautiful women who shine in front of them.

The other newcomers couldn't hide their envy, seeing that Ji Ran had so many leaders, she could still choose.

"I said," Ji Ran said, turning his head to ask personnel seriously, "I can choose by myself, right?"

Zhang Qiao from the personnel department hesitated a little, then nodded.

"it is good."

Chi Jin was originally sitting quietly in the back row, but Ji Ran looked over the people in the two rows, looking straight and precisely at her: "Sister Chi, what project are you in charge of?"

Sister Chi!

Zhang Fang's pupils were shocked immediately, and while giving the newcomer a like, he also wanted to give her some wax.

He noticed that the old aura beside him tightened instantly.

Chi Jin uttered two words almost in a cold voice: "... residence."

"It's also what I want to do." Ji Ran seemed to be pleasantly surprised, his brows and eyes were bent, "Then do you want me?"

"..."

"..."

Now not only Zhang Fang, but the entire conference room was overwhelmed by the courage of the newcomers.

In the past, there were not no active newcomers, and the interested departments also revealed it implicitly. There were no such straightforward ones, who had the cheek to call the leader's sister as soon as they came up, and asked to take them away.

Still facing the company's famous icy Chi Zong.

Zhang Fang carefully coveted his boss's expression, of course he wanted a beautiful colleague, but I'm afraid the boss is not a person who will give people face.

But the newcomer didn't seem to give up easily, so he just watched straight.

After a few seconds of weird silence, Chi Jin opened his lips: "... yes."

Usually there are not many people in the pantry before get off work, so Chi Jin likes to pick this time to go.

There is a separate small space in the tea room, facing a floor-to-ceiling window, not to mention hidden, standing there in the evening to drink tea and watch the sunset, it is a good place to take a rest.

Pushing open the door of the pantry, unfortunately there are people there today.

Ji Ran turned his head at the same time when he heard the voice, Chi Jin's heart tightened, thinking of the "Sister Chi" in the afternoon, he was terrified, and he had the instinct to quit.

But at this moment, she withdrew her gaze and turned her head, revealing an elegant and slender neck.

Chi Jin suddenly felt that he was a little concerned.

In the afternoon, she yelled "Sister Chi" openly in front of everyone. Would she ignore her without outsiders?

The movement of exit paused, and continued to walk in as if nothing had happened.

I took a small bag from the tea box and put it into the cup, and pressed the button, the noise of boiling water sounded in the quiet tea room.

The two were separated by a few meters, and no one made a sound.

The water flowed straight down and fell into the water glass.

Holding the water glass, Chi Jin stood there for a while, then turned around and walked directly to Ji Ran's side, who stared at her blankly.

The corners of Chi Jin's mouth were tense, and his voice was also stiff: "When you see colleagues in the company, you need to say hello. This is the basic etiquette in the workplace."

After a pause, he added: "It doesn't matter to me, but someone will care."

"Oh?" Ji Ran was holding a coffee cup and smiling: "Sister Chi will be willing to talk to me now. I saw that you didn't look good to me this afternoon, so I thought you didn't want to talk to me."

"..."

Ji Ran was originally leaning against the wall, but now he will stand up straight, freeing up a space, and raised his chin to signal: "The view here is good, do you want to come and have a look?"

Chi Jin passed in silence, not saying that this was the place she usually used to come to.

Ji Ran is not a talkative person, so he didn't talk anymore, just drank his coffee one by one, looking lazily at the busy traffic under the setting sun.

The two of them maintained silence, and were soon interrupted by a sudden push on the door, "Bang!

"It's so annoying! One of the pools has to go away, and another one is going to be taken away from the financial department. We only got two new people this time!" The visitor said angrily.

Hearing his own name, Chi Jin moved a little further in to avoid embarrassment for each other.

He continued to complain amidst the sound of boiling water.

"I'm going to collapse to death. Mr. Zheng said he wants to get four. Now that's all right, let's wait for sudden death! How can Chi Jin get three? We only have two in other departments."

"Who told her to be Mr. Shen's own daughter?"

Ji Ran looked up at Chi Jin, thoughtful.

Chi Jin helplessly shook his head slightly.

Another voice taunted, "She's just trying to show off in the company, so her fiancé doesn't want her? A woman is too strong to be dumped easily."

"I heard that it was her fiance who cheated on her?"

"Cheating? No, how did I hear that she had a problem with the premarital examination?"

Chi Jin sipped his black tea expressionlessly.

She has already heard similar and uglier ones, and the grievance and resentment are now only a little tired of explaining.

Not much, just a little.

On the other hand, Ji Ran's mood fluctuated obviously.

Her skin was fine, delicate and fair, and the blush when she was angry made her face very clear.

Before Chi Jin could stop it, the coffee cup in Ji Ran's hand had already flown out!

It fell to the ground and exploded into shards, flying in all directions. The shards and the sound made the other two jump up.

Ji Ran calmly turned around and appeared in the sight of the two.

"You...what are you doing! What are the qualities of this newcomer!"

Ji Ran's photos had already been circulated among various private groups in the company, and the people who came here obviously knew each other.

"Hmph, let's not be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, it's hard to say whether we can meet again in half a year." Lan Di was on probation for half a year, and another person ridiculed Ji Ran for not being able to turn right.

"It's okay to be ugly, the heart and the mouth are dirtier than the other."

Ji Ran raised his foot to kick away the shards of glass under his feet, and the two of them hid in fright, fearing that the kick would hit their feet, and the shards of glass would be everywhere.

"Is what you just said human, bah! Are you garbage like women? Slaves kneeling under men's waists, besides bullying women, do you dare to stare at men? I forgive you! Heartless heart thing!"

The employees of Landi Company are also from 211 at least, and they usually say slander behind their backs. Where have they heard such blunt and sharp swear words, they burst into tears immediately.

After the partition, Chi Jin bent his lips silently. He didn't see the scene, so he couldn't connect Ji Ran's fairy face with these words.

She took another sip of her tea.

There was another "bang".

"All right."

Ji Ran's beautiful head suddenly poked out from the side, with a look of incomprehension, "You are a boss anyway, and you won't fight back when they scold you? You are too aggrieved to be a boss."

Chi Jin: "Arguing with weak people is a waste of time."

Ji Ran commented: "The spirit of Ah Q."

Chi Jin: "..."

"Anyway."

Ji Ran unceremoniously took the tea from her hand, drank it and put it back in her hand, "I helped you just now, how can you thank me?"

Ji Ran looked at her with a faint smile on his lips.

The sea blue plush sweater on her body looks like the deep sea, and the eyes are set off like the stars above a pure sea area, very bright, reflecting the large sunset outside the window, and the eyes are also dyed with warmth.

Like clear amber.

Chi Jin's mind exploded.

The fragments of the night that I thought I had forgotten popped out unexpectedly——

The girl raised her face slightly, her lips were full of water, and the dim night light cast a beautiful amber halo in her eyes. She tilted her head and looked at her and called "sister" softly.

Chi Jin wanted to leave immediately, but Ji Ran stretched out his hand towards her neck, leaned his body, as if encircling her in his arms, and breathed harmoniously.

Immediately, even the body tensed up.

"Reporting documents? It was sent to your mailbox yesterday, please accept it again."

Footsteps sounded outside the tea room, and voices approached.

Chi Jin's breathing stopped.

"Okay, then I'll send another one right away, just wait a few minutes."

The footsteps went away.

Breathing is back.

Chi Jin took a deep breath and felt the other person's breath again. His dull hand was finally obedient and ready to lift it up and push it away.

Ji Ran stood up straight again, and the heat from the tip of his nose disappeared.

He also retracted his hand, twisted his white fingertips and then let go, smiling at her: "Sister's hair."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Chi: This year's newcomers are so inflated! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
