as pure as a radish

"Yo, Miss Janie, I met you here."

I didn't expect to meet Corey before I walked halfway through the aisle. Although I haven't seen her for a while, I remember very clearly that she never added the word sister to my name before.Of course, the tone she spoke to me was still so yin and yang, it was creepy to hear.Sometimes I think she also needs to press so many faces for herself. At one time, she will be eccentric with us, at another time she will show off her might in front of her subordinates, and at another time she will be pure and passionate with her boss. Are you not tired?

"Yeah. What a coincidence." I tried my best to hide the emotions that I didn't want to encounter with her in this aisle.

"Did you just report to work?" She raised the topic, as if she didn't want to let this encounter go.

"Hmm. Right." I didn't want to talk, but I had to.

"How is your department doing recently?" She didn't give up yet, and continued to chat deeply.

"It's okay." I thought to myself that if I answered this way, I wouldn't be able to continue the conversation.

"Very good, very good." She shook her head deliberately, "It's not like here, as you know, everyone was too lazy before, but now it takes too much effort to make everyone move, and many times they can't do it well. I'll come. So much work has been gathered here, I'm really busy."

"Well, I'm busy." I said perfunctorily.

"Oh..." She raised her voice suddenly, then moved closer to me, her voice was very low, "I've been making trouble for a long time, you are the oriole."

I kept silent to see what she wanted to say.

"By the way, I haven't really congratulated you yet..." Corey straightened his body back again, "Congratulations."

"Chairman~" Corey suddenly bowed in the direction behind me.

I turned sideways hastily, and the chairman was almost attached to me.I bowed my head as a greeting, thinking that the carpeted aisle also has a bad place, people can't hear obvious footsteps when they come.

"Hmm." Chairman Zhang quickly walked away from us.

Corey breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude changed back to the extremely uncomfortable strange tone that he said to congratulate me before, "You can take care of your retirement when you get the manager position, you are also very lucky, like How many people like you haven't even entered the company door."

"Let's have some fun. Life is good. Oh, no, no, maybe I don't want this thing." Corey squeezed his face, bumped me away and walked away swaggeringly.

I froze in place, not stunned by Corey's behavior, but suppressing some emotion.

It seems that it's time for me to face up to this emotion, it comes up too frequently.Maybe next time I should let it pop up a little more to see what's going on with it, otherwise I really don't know anything about it.

Back in the office, I wanted to discuss with the supervisor how to reduce the use of research funds, but he happened to be not in the office area.

It is said that the supervisor of the fourth department of R&D is the good-looking boy who always rushed to talk to me when I first came here. He has not been in office for much longer than me, about half a month after the company team building came back. In one month, he became the department head of the fourth research and development department.This should be a very good achievement at his age. After all, he has graduated from university for less than two years, and it is really rare to become a supervisor in the second year.

He must have something special about him, but every time I see him, I always feel that something is wrong, and I don't know why I have such a natural resistance to this person.

I got off work late for a long time today, and I approached my supervisor and several core employees in the department to discuss carefully the use of research funds in the department.We checked the detailed accounts of this quarter and the general ledger of last year and this year, but found no obvious problems.Several old employees also said that since they joined this department, they have used the money in that way without any problems.I couldn't find any problems, and it also delayed everyone's work at hand. Everyone looked sullen when they got off work.

When I left the office, I happened to hear some of them commenting, "Our four departments are the least important departments in the R&D department. The annual funding is only a little bit, and it's not enough to squeeze the teeth. Who would make such a waste of money."

What he said is indeed true. The company's main research and development tasks are on the first and second departments, and the less important ones are also taken care of by the third department. Only those leftovers that basically do not generate any economic benefits and can be developed but not developed by our fourth department Responsible, so the research and development funds approved for us are indeed very small.It is also because of this that I feel that the people who will take this matter to find fault with our department have ulterior motives.But I have no other choice but to ask everyone to check themselves.

From the fully heated office building into the cold and windy outdoors, I quickly zipped up my coat to the top, but I was still shivering from the cold.However, I seem to be sober after this shock. I just want to live a more serious and better life. Why should I take everything at work so seriously?

"Ji Yufei... Ji Yufei... Hey!" Someone called me.I almost missed it because of something.

But Wen Yue has already run up and walked side by side with me.

"You..." I turned my head to look at him, wanting him to stop playing this kind of children's blocking game, but I couldn't say it.His nose and cheeks were very red from the cold, and it looked like he had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time.Yeah, I realized I had nearly two hours of overtime today, so wouldn't he be...

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't talk yet." I told him to follow me closely, and wait until I warm up in the car.

When I finally got to the car, I opened the door and got into the car quickly.Closing the door, the cold air was kept outside, and the whole person became several times warmer.Wen Yue hesitated outside the car, and he didn't come up until I reached over to open the passenger door and waved at him for a long time.

I rubbed my hands for a long time before grasping the steering wheel, "It's freezing cold, you have to choose a season for what you want to do, try to do outdoor activities like just now in summer, and hide in the house to enjoy the heating in winter."

"But I'm afraid she'll take the lead..." Wen Yue explained eagerly after listening to me completely, "Besides, I'm afraid that if you don't go home, you will have to come to your company... Oh, by the way, what do you want today? ...Meet you? Are you going home or are you?"

"Why did you come to see me?" I asked Wen Yue back.

"Dinner..." Wen Yue replied in a low voice, "The recently released movies are not bad, how about watching them after dinner? There is a movie that is only an hour and 10 minutes long, and you can just catch up with one after dinner. It won't be very late, and it shouldn't affect your rest."

Me: "I haven't seen you talk so much before."

Wen Yue: "Ah..."

Me: "Don't be nervous, just send a sentence casually, without any deep meaning."

Wen Yue: "Can I go then?"

Me: "I treat you to dinner, the movie is free first, how about it?"
