I had to take the coffee to Jiang Ruochen's table before I could go back to my room.

I didn't rest much and immediately turned on the computer.

I was like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing the suggestions around me. I couldn't wait to see Jiang Ruochen's modification.

When I turned on the computer, the densely packed words appeared in front of my eyes. He made notes on almost every part.

I had been out of line with work for so long that a lot of things had changed. I didn't think I could keep up with what was going on, and it was my first time doing this kind of thing, so I was grateful for Jiang Ruochen's help.

His suggestions were practical, and I greedily absorbed them. I worked for three hours without stopping.

Holding the laptop in my hand, I walked to Jiang Ruochen's door with a smile on my face.

It was very quiet inside the door. I looked at the time and it was already midnight.

'Could he have already gone to sleep... 'I stood hesitantly in front of the door for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

[Fine. I will come back tomorrow.]

However, when I was about to leave, I heard a cough from the other side of the door. It was followed by a deep male voice, "Come in."

I gently pushed the door open and carefully walked to the table. I glanced at the other party's slightly bloodshot eyes and softly said, "Aren't you going to rest?"

As soon as I said that, I pursed my lips. I am only his superior. Isn't it inappropriate for me to be so concerned about him?

Jiang Ruochen seemed to be in a good mood when he heard this, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Perhaps it was because it was too late, but his voice was hoarse and gentle, "No need."

Jiang Ruochen glanced at the laptop in my hand and asked directly, "Are you done?"

"Yes." I nodded and placed the laptop on the table respectfully with both hands. Then, the substitute got someone to open the plan.

I stood motionless in front of the table, subconsciously holding my fingers. My eyes were focused on the person in front of me, afraid that I would miss any of his expressions.

After a long while, I heard Jiang Ruochen say, "Yes," followed by "Not bad."

The stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I took a deep breath and walked forward gently. I asked tentatively, "I have some thoughts of my own. Do you want to take a look?"

There seemed to be a flash of surprise in Jiang Ruochen's eyes, but it quickly calmed down. Before he could say anything, I took the hint and opened the document, explaining the origins of these thoughts one by one.

Unknowingly, it was already close to two o'clock.

His eyes were still red, but they were full of surprise. I was enjoying the sense of achievement from my job. I stood in front of the table and waited for him to speak.

"It's a good idea. You can do it," Jiang Ruochen said with a smile, then glanced at the wall watch. "But let's rest today. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The sudden concern warmed my heart. I picked up the notebook and quickly nodded. The joy should be obvious.

He supported his chin with one hand and looked at me quietly. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful to smile confidently?"

I was surprised. When I realized it, my ears turned red again, "Then you should rest early. I am going back."

I left the room as if I was running away. I even forgot to take my laptop.

I leaned on the door of his room and breathed heavily. I slowly put my right hand on my left chest.

My heart, which had become lifeless because of the failure of the marriage, was beating extremely fast, as if it had suddenly come to life.

I raised my hand to touch my ear. The temperature was so hot that it was burning my hand.

[What... is wrong with me?]

The next day, as soon as I got up, I smelled the smell of food. The smell of food was like an alarm, making me sit up on the bed in a daze.

The first thing I did was to look at the clock. I actually woke up forty minutes later than usual!

I put on some makeup and changed my clothes before rushing downstairs.

"You're awake?" Jiang Ruochen must have just finished breakfast. He was holding the latest newspaper for the day.

I looked at him and saw that he had changed into a decent suit and shiny leather shoes.

"I'm really sorry. I slept a little late last night." I pursed my lips and said apologetically, "I will wake up early to prepare breakfast tomorrow."

"It's none of your business," Jiang Ruochen said in a flat tone, not caring at all. His eyes were fixed on the newspaper. "Eat, then go to work."

I stuffed a few things into my mouth and followed Jiang Ruochen to work. On the way, I changed my makeup to make myself look grander and more refined.

Every day in the company, I had to be flawless.

At noon, just as I finished lunch, a girl I have never met walked over. I thought that she had something to discuss with the director, so I raised my head and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

The girl waved her hand and gently placed a cup of coffee on my table. She smiled and said, "Ms Xin, I am here to see you."

"Looking for me?" I looked at her carefully and confirmed that I didn't know her.

"Yes." The girl casually leaned on my desk and said kindly, "Ms Xin, you've been in the company for so long, but I haven't come to greet you."

"Well, I came to greet you. We will have to take care of each other in the future." The girl's last sentence was unclear, making me even more confused.

Before I understood what happened, a sarcastic voice was heard, "Oh, we haven't even confirmed it yet, and someone is already here to climb up the tree?"

"Sister... Sister Qian... Why are you here?" The girl who was smiling just a moment ago seemed to have seen a ghost. She shivered and stood to the side with her head lowered.

Lin Ziqian slowly walked in front of the girl and looked down at her with her ten-centimeter high heels. She said, "I am the assistant of the director of the Sales Department, why can't I come?"

"You, on the other hand, a little desk clerk, an intern of a poor family, don't do your job properly." Lin Ziqian's words made the girl's face turn red and purple, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Although I couldn't bear to watch it, I didn't do anything. That's how it is in the workplace. A higher rank is enough to crush a person to death. Furthermore, I really hate looking for a wall from the bottom of my heart.

"Don't you have a seriously ill mother at home who needs money to cure her illness? In my opinion, you don't need to work here. Go find a better-paid job. There is no room for you here." As soon as Lin Ziqian said this, the girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with despair.

The girl immediately knelt down, pulled Lin Ziqian's wrist, and cried, "Sister Qian, I beg you, please don't fire me. I won't dare to do it again. Please."
