Chapter 219: Newcomer's Strong Background
Chapter 219: Newcomer's Strong Background
At 1:40 p.m. interstellar time, Zhou Zhou walked slowly back to the eighth floor of the office building. The two men and two women who had gathered together to gossip suddenly fell silent.
After all, the person at the center of the gossip has already appeared, and it is not easy for them to gossip about him in front of him.
Zhou Zhou's military uniform was slightly wrinkled, and the area covered by the collar was covered with kiss marks. A few vague glances swept over him, but he didn't mind. He even looked at them and gave them a faint smile.
Several colleagues withdrew their gazes awkwardly and lowered their heads to organize the documents on the table.
After Ge Ziyun knew that Zhou Zhou's backer was General Pei, he naturally didn't dare to embarrass him anymore, even though he was extremely depressed.
Zhou Zhou walked slowly back to his desk and sat down. Because the office chair was too hard, he felt a slight discomfort in his buttocks.
If time allowed, Pei Yanlie would definitely not let him go easily.
He turned on his office computer and changed the screen saver's photo of a man with a bright smile to a blue sky and white clouds. He had no interest in working in front of a strange man's face.
Ge Ziyun looked at Zhou Zhou as if he had X-ray vision, and his tone was not very good, "That computer originally belonged to Xiaoyang. He left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up the personal privacy in it. Just leave it there and don't delete it. He will have to come back to work in the future."
Zhou Zhou said "Oh" and nodded, indicating that he understood. He was not interested in peeking into other people's privacy.
He moved his buttocks, clenched his fingers around the notebook, and a series of stimulating images popped up in his mind at inopportune times.
Pei Yanlie's desk was extremely stable and would not shake during exercise. His figure was even better than Pei Ba's. His strong abdominal muscles were covered with a thin layer of sweat, exuding a strong hormonal scent, which was very tempting and made Zhou Zhou's eyes red.
He raised his hand to cover his tall nose, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the flow of unknown red liquid.
An hour later, Zhou Zhou sorted out the information and sent the folder to Ge Xiaoyun.
Ge Xiaoyun seemed to want to find Zhou Zhou's mistakes and looked at them very carefully. However, to her surprise, the information compiled by the other party was perfect.
It is undeniable that this newcomer's work ability and meticulousness are much better than when Xiaoyang first came. As soon as this thought came to her mind, she frowned.
No matter how good this man is, she would never like him. She has become accustomed to obeying Xiaoyang's orders and being looked at with admiration by Xiaoyang.
Zhou Zhou saw that Ge Xiaoyun was silent, with a gloomy face, and ignored him. He did not say anything, but supported his chin with one hand and thought about all sorts of things in his mind. After more than ten minutes, he simply opened Star Network to browse the gossip news.
[Very interesting! At 1am last night, a popular actress and a man in a white suit entered a high-end hotel together.]
Zhou Zhou clicked on the accompanying picture and saw a man and a woman standing very close to each other. Due to the distance between them, only their blurry silhouettes could be captured.
The public has sharp eyes. Just by seeing the female star in the off-white cheongsam, they all guessed that this person was "Su Wanxing".
Since Su Wanxing made her debut at the age of ten, there have always been some eighteen-tier male stars who have been trying to take advantage of her popularity, so there have been quite a few scandals about her in the past decade or so.
But this is the first time she was seen entering a hotel with her rumored boyfriend, and now people from all walks of life are gossiping about who the "mystery man" is.
Zhou Zhou touched his chin, feeling that the man in the white suit looked familiar. Could it be Mr. Wen?
He couldn't remember Pei Yanlie's cousin's name for the moment, he only remembered that his last name was Wen.
But it's just a guess. Su Wanxing and Wen haven't recovered their memories yet, so it's unlikely that they can get together.
Thinking of Lin Sheng and Qu Minghui, they had already been a couple in love in real life. Perhaps, Su Wanxing and Wen had known each other long before entering the game.
"Ahem...Brother Xiaozhou, would you like some fruit? These are the cherry tomatoes grown in my family's planting base." The girl with a round face came up to Zhou Zhou with a plate of yellow and green cherry tomatoes in her hands and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Zhou closed the star network and looked up at her. She was a friendly-looking girl with round eyes and a hint of inexplicable flattery.
"Thank you." Zhou Zhou raised his hand and took a small tomato. The round-faced girl noticed a circle of faint red marks on his wrist, as if he had been tied with a rope.
"My name is Ling Jiayi. If you have any questions about work in the future, you can ask me for help." Ling Jiayi grabbed a handful of cherry tomatoes and stuffed them into Zhou Zhou's hand, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
Zhou Zhou ate a small tomato, the sour and sweet taste spread in his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Ling."
A cold gaze suddenly fell on her. Ling Jiayi looked up at Ge Ziyun. Seeing her staring at her coldly, her pupils shrank slightly. She quickly handed the plate over, "Sister Yun, would you like some tomatoes?"
In the future interstellar world, those who can afford to eat fresh fruits are either rich or noble. Ling Jiayi was born in a large fruit-growing family, and every now and then he would bring fruits to the office to share with his colleagues.
She looked kind, but she was actually very smooth-talking and used to changing her attitude according to the situation. In the past, when she distributed fruit, the first person she gave it to was Ge Ziyun.
Ge Ziyun was used to being praised by others, but now she saw Ling Jiayi ignoring her and trying to please Zhou Zhou instead. She felt furious and wanted to vent but had to hold it back because of her face.
"No, I don't like tomatoes." She refused coldly, and there was a hint of hidden contempt in her eyes when she looked at Ling Jiayi.
So what if he is rich and eats fruits every day? In the end, he still has to stay here as a small data analysis assistant, and people have to curry favor with him like a lackey every day.
Now that they see the newcomer has a strong background, they turn to curry favor with him. This is extremely hypocritical.
"It's working hours now. Please abide by the office rules. Don't leave your post without permission and walk around the office, chat, or eat at will." Ge Ziyun taught her a lesson without any hesitation.
Ling Jiayi's originally rosy cheeks became even redder because of embarrassment, as if they were about to bleed at the next moment. She hummed softly and turned back to her workstation.
The other colleagues just looked at her sympathetically and motioned for her to check the chat group.
Ling Jiayi opened the chat software. There were only four people in the group, and the number of unread messages had accumulated to 99+.
[Gao Ling: Don’t mind what Sister Yun said. She is just like that. She doesn’t like new people, so she naturally doesn’t like you giving her food.]
Gao Ling is a data analyst. He is tall and thin, with bangs that almost cover his eyes, making him look gloomy.
[Assistant Xiao Huang: That being said, her words are too hurtful. When Xiao Yang was still here, she never mentioned any rules. Double standards! If she had said that to me, I would have already dug a hole in the ground, with no face left.]
[Tan Shuangshuang: Touch my Xiaoling, I’ll treat you to something sweet after get off work.]
The woman with a ponytail stretched out her hand and touched Ling Jiayi's head, a trace of heartache on her cold and beautiful face.
[Assistant Xiao Ling: 555, I was scared to death by her. It’s my fault that I was blinded by the handsome smile of the newcomer and forgot about her for a while.]
Ling Jiayi calmly turned her head away, her eyes glancing at Zhou Zhou, who was sitting lazily and swinging his legs slowly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
She was very curious about what charm Zhou Zhou had that could make the admiral personally come to the office building to pick him up.
There are many handsome men. Su Wanning, the deputy captain of the second team of the federal army, has a charming and beautiful face. Why would the admiral like Zhou Zhou?
"Drip drip"
There was a slight prompt sound from the wristband. Ling Jiayi reduced the screen, checked the message sent by the other party, and asked for a reward without any hesitation.
[Ling: After the mission is completed, I want a travel voucher with the highest level of interstellar security and the latest simulated boyfriend produced by JN Company, um, the most handsome one.]
[Young Master: Well, be careful not to alert the enemy. There is a high possibility that someone is following him.]
