- Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Spouse of the Disabled Beauty
- Chapter 31 - Bustling
The Song family, as a century-old prominent family that has stood firm through three generations, has established a massive commercial empire in City A. The Song Group started in the manufacturing industry, but it has now perfectly completed its transformation. Today, it vigorously develops the Internet and is one of the Internet giants.
The headquarters of the Song Group towers in the center of City A. The headquarters is a twin tower standing sixty stories high. It is one of the landmark buildings of City A. Its conspicuous exterior is only one aspect; more importantly, the group holds excellent domestic technology, and thus countless visitors apply to enter for visits and learning every day.
As the actual manager of a large group, Song Yunran is naturally busy. She spends a large amount of time every day staying at the headquarters to handle various affairs. She appears to be an approachable manager, but those who work with her know that is merely an illusion. Beneath her gentle appearance hides a side more rigorous than most managers. This rigor is not only directed at others but also at herself; the closer one gets to her, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
Therefore, when Song Yunran’s secretary stepped into Song Yunran’s office to hand over today’s itinerary as usual, but discovered that there was someone else in the office besides her boss and that “someone else” was currently using Song Yunran’s spare laptop to play games the secretary’s expression went uncontrollably blank for two seconds.
Secretary Sun was the one who had been with Song Yunran the longest among the five secretaries in the secretary’s office. She occasionally received tasks from Song Yunran to go to the Song family residence for business. So, she had actually seen that “someone else” in the office before and knew that the person was her boss’s marriage partner.
Secretary Sun had witnessed the transformation of her boss’s attitude toward this marriage partner, from disgust to doting. Now, she had actually brought the person to the company, allowing her to play around in her office.
Secretary Sun was somewhat surprised. Her gaze fell upon the person playing games in the office, secretly carrying a hint of scrutiny just how exactly did this person manage to make President Song lower her guard?
Xu Luo didn’t know she was being scrutinized yet. She was playing a game and was quite bad at it; she needed to go all out just to survive in the game, so she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
She had entered the Song Group because she was hired by Song Yunran, but an hourly wage of eight yuan could not spark her work enthusiasm to the point of working herself to death. Therefore… therefore, she slacked off quite righteously. As soon as she entered Song Yunran’s office, she took a fancy to Song Yunran’s spare computer and began to “rot” while playing games.
Song Yunran also didn’t expect to hire any usable talent with such a low hourly wage, so she let her be.
The two sat side by side, their arms touching, their thoughts achieving a tacit unity.
Secretary Sun did not understand this kind of unity. She had to rely on her strong professional quality to restrain herself so as not to reveal any abnormality. She forced herself not to look at Xu Luo and forced herself not to care about the game sound effects echoing in the office.
“President Song, this is today’s itinerary.”
She handed the itinerary to her boss.
Song Yunran reached out to take it, but at the same time, Xu Luo, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found an opportunity. She unleashed a big move in the game and was so excited that she knocked Song Yunran’s extended hand far off course.
Secretary Sun had worked for a long time and had never encountered such a situation. Her heart almost stopped from that collision, especially since she knew that Song Yunran was not a lenient person.
Song Yunran turned her head, raised her eyes, and looked at the person who bumped her.
The bumper was too engrossed in the game and didn’t know she had hit someone.
Song Yunran looked at the person playing the game beside her without moving, her gaze deep and eerie.
This look…
Secretary Sun’s heart leaped into her throat.
Song Yunran looked at the person beside her for a while, and seeing that the other party didn’t even look at her, she raised her right hand. That hand went straight toward a certain someone’s head.
Secretary Sun: !!!
Could it be…
Secretary Sun’s nerves were stretched tight.
Would Song Yunran hit someone?
Although Song Yunran was not a lenient boss, she didn’t seem to have the habit of hitting people, but that was also because an incident where someone bumped Song Yunran and didn’t apologize had never happened.
So…
Secretary Sun watched her boss nervously. She watched as the other party’s raised hand went toward Xu Luo’s head, and then… then it landed on the other’s head and rubbed it messily.
Xu Luo, who was playing the game, was rubbed. She raised her eyes in a daze, and seeing that the hand on her head was Song Yunran’s, she curled her lip and bobbed her head up and down, pushing the hand back.
Song Yunran was amused by her cuteness and laughed silently.
She withdrew her hand that had been messing with Xu Luo’s hair and used it to take the itinerary from the secretary’s hand.
Secretary Sun: “…”
Ah.
Xu Luo finished a round of the game and just happened to see the back of Secretary Sun leaving the office. She leaned toward Song Yunran, resting her chin on Song Yunran’s arm, glancing at the itinerary in Song Yunran’s hand, and said casually and lazily: “Did your secretary look at us with a strange look before she left?”
“Maybe.” Song Yunran said nonchalantly, “Don’t mind it. Secretary Sun’s ability is fine, but sometimes her imagination is too rich.”
She would think of some strange things.
Xu Luo said “oh,” and indeed no longer paid attention to the secretary.
She looked at Song Yunran’s itinerary and lamented: “You are so busy.”
Song Yunran smiled: “That’s why I hired you, this outside help, to assist, isn’t it?”
Xu Luo, who had originally intended to play games all day while getting paid: “…”
Although Song Yunran said she wanted Xu Luo to work, she didn’t actually require her to do so; she was just saying it. On the contrary, Xu Luo herself felt a bit uneasy after playing games for a while and actively asked if there was anything she needed help with.
Then she was given the task of delivering documents.
Taking the elevator from the 28th floor, where Song Yunran’s office was located, to the Personnel Department on the 22nd floor, Xu Luo arrived at the entrance of the Personnel Department under the guidance of the signs. She knocked on the door, and just after one knock, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. A hand reached out, intending to grab her hand.
This was not the workplace she had imagined. It was so abrupt that it actually made her think she was undergoing sea escape training on Mermaid Island. Under a conditioned reflex, she grabbed that hand in reverse, pulled the person, and with a beautiful back-throw, slammed the owner of the hand out.
Thud—
A dull sound echoed in the office, accompanied by a voice cursing and crying out in pain.
When Xu Luo heard this voice, she, who had originally wanted to give a stomp, barely managed to restrain her foot.
She held her foot high and looked down at the ground, realizing that the person she had thrown out and wanted to stomp on seemed to be the owner of this office namely, the Personnel Manager of the Song Group. The corner of her mouth twitched.
“…Hello.”
She quickly retracted her high-raised leg and flashed a professional smile at the Personnel Manager on the ground.
And then she was cursed at until her head was covered in “dog’s blood.”
The Personnel Manager was 45 years old, female, and liked women. She had recently taken a fancy to a young girl who came to the department for an internship and wanted to “hidden rule” (sexually harass/coerce) her. Ten minutes ago, she had sent an ambiguous invitation to that girl: if she wanted to become a regular employee, she should come knock on her door.
The result was that the person knocking on the door was Xu Luo.
The Personnel Manager cursed for a long time before she saw clearly that there was a strange face standing in her office. she froze for a moment, and the next second, while clutching her waist that had almost been sprained, she roared: “Who the hell are you?!”
“I… I’m from the 28th floor.” Xu Luo handed the document in her hand toward the manager. “I’m here to deliver a document.”
Personnel Manager: “…”
The Personnel Manager, who had been acting like a tyrannical “local emperor” with arrogant momentum just now, suddenly became like a chicken being squeezed by the throat. She swallowed the curses that had not yet been shouted out and fell into a sudden silence.
As everyone knows, the 28th floor is Song Yunran’s floor.
The two looked at each other.
At this slightly awkward moment, a knock sounded from outside the door. Bang, bang, bang three times, each interval exactly the same length.
Xu Luo and the Personnel Manager looked toward the door at the same time.
Standing at the door was a petite girl. The girl had delicate features and small, exquisite facial parts, but her eyes were dull, and her expression lacked a sense of vividness.
The girl was originally looking at the Personnel Manager, but her peripheral vision caught Xu Luo beside the manager. She let out an “ah” and showed the look of seeing an acquaintance.
It was indeed an acquaintance. Not long ago, the two had bid a lingering farewell and given each other parting gifts that neither of them liked.
“Benefactor,” the newcomer called out to Xu Luo.
Yes, this girl was Song Zhenzhen, who had coincidentally come to the Song Group to intern.
In the original book, Song Zhenzhen had also come to the Song Group for an internship, and there she happened to encounter Father Song. Father Song saw the shadow of his own younger brother in her, and upon investigation, learned that the girl really was the child of his brother who had run away from home and died in a car accident. Pitying her situation, he brought her back to the Song villa.
What was different from the original book was that now Song Zhenzhen had not met Father Song, but had first met the perverted Personnel Manager.
Right now, Song Zhenzhen had knocked on the Personnel Manager’s office door, but not to give in to the manager’s “hidden rules.” Rather… the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she had come to beat up the Personnel Manager.
But someone had already started the beating first.
Song Zhenzhen saw the dust on the Personnel Manager’s face and her hand clutching her waist, and she understood what had happened.
She felt a little disappointed that she had missed the chance to beat the pervert.
In her imagination, Xu Luo had also been harassed by the Personnel Manager, so she had attacked.
She ultimately still wanted to give this pervert a beating before she resigned, so she politely asked Xu Luo: “Excuse me, may I join in?”
Xu Luo thought she was asking “Excuse me, may I enter?” and answered for the Personnel Manager: “Of course you can.”
Then she watched as Song Zhenzhen rolled up her sleeves while walking into the office. Before she could react, she saw her suddenly raise a foot.
The Personnel Manager flew out.
Xu Luo: “…”
The plot in the office entered chaos mode with Song Zhenzhen kicking the Personnel Manager. The staff on the 22nd floor heard the Personnel Manager’s angry curses and quickly gathered toward this direction, even alarming other floors.
In the midst of the chaos, Song Yunran, accompanied by her secretary, arrived on the 22nd floor.
She had come to the 23rd floor for business and happened to come downstairs to find her partner who had been gone for a long time without returning.
When Song Yunran arrived, the chaos in the office was almost uncontrollable. The Personnel Manager had called for security to protect herself. As soon as Song Yunran arrived, the scene fell silent, and the onlookers recognized her, automatically parting to make a path for her.
The beauty sitting in the wheelchair scanned the 22nd floor, witnessing the chaos before her with a faint smile on the corners of her lips.
She saw Xu Luo; the other party was in the center of the chaos, but fortunately, nothing had happened to her.
She also saw Song Zhenzhen, but she didn’t care much about this person, so she didn’t look much.
Song Yunran’s eyes flickered. She glanced at the Personnel Manager standing behind a group of security guards and smiled gently: “How bustling. It’s just like a marketplace.”
She tilted her head slightly and asked the crowd: “Can anyone tell me what is going on here?”
