- Chapter 14 - Encounter with the Sloppy Woman Again
Yi Huahuan couldn’t laugh at the moment. She still remembered the mess Lin Haimian got herself into yesterday to avoid being recognized by the president. “You know, when we were hanging out, the president drove by.”
“Oh, he just drove by? What’s the big deal?” Lin Haimian hadn’t quite grasped the situation.
Yi Huahuan thought for a moment and added, “The president saw us.”
“And then? What are you trying to say?” Lin Haimian still looked puzzled, appearing quite clueless.
Yi Huahuan was speechless.
Sometimes she really wanted to know how Lin Haimian’s brain worked! “Nothing, nothing. I’m just really hungry. Let’s go buy some groceries.”
Lin Haimian, lost in her own thoughts, didn’t press further and happily walked hand in hand with Yi Huahuan.
It wasn’t until nightfall, when Lin Haimian climbed into bed ready to sleep, that she finally realized what Yi Huahuan had been talking about that afternoon.
Lin Haimian choked up, fearing the worst. How could she have forgotten something so important? The thought of receiving a dismissal letter from Manager Lin the next day made her feel like her world was collapsing. Her mind spiraled out of control, thinking deeper and deeper, until she experienced insomnia for the first time, only falling asleep as dawn broke.
When the alarm rang, Lin Haimian unconsciously turned it off. It wasn’t until Yi Huahuan called that she jumped up in shock. Seeing the time on the clock, she felt like dying.
Only twenty minutes left before she was late!
Lin Haimian let out a scream, ignoring the call, and hurriedly scrambled around like she was in a battle. The scene of a sloppy woman with a big bag rushing out the door played out once more.
This time, however, she was lucky enough to catch a taxi. After calling Yi Huahuan for help from the car, Lin Haimian didn’t have time to do her makeup, so she just fixed her hair.
The car drove straight into the underground parking lot, and Lin Haimian rushed into the elevator, closing the door before anyone else could catch up, waiting anxiously.
The person left outside the elevator was Liang Tongheng, who was quite displeased. He had been so close to catching up with that sloppy woman, only to miss her by a step, and the other elevator was under maintenance.
Liang Tongheng’s expression was grim.
When the elevator finally arrived, Liang Tongheng composed himself and pressed 12. He remembered the woman got off on the 12th floor last time. Forgive him for being distracted earlier and not noticing which floor the elevator stopped at.
Exiting on the 12th floor, Liang Tongheng headed straight for the women’s restroom, only to realize halfway there that it was inappropriate.
Just then, Manager Lin passed by with a stack of documents and was caught by Liang Tongheng. “Manager Lin.”
Manager Lin was embarrassed. Why was the president here? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with her speed and came to fetch the documents himself? “Good morning, President. Sorry, the documents were just sorted. I was about to send them up to you.”
Liang Tongheng simply nodded. “I see. I’ll take the documents myself. However, I need a favor from you.”
Manager Lin was puzzled. “What is it?”
“Well, a cat followed me up here. When the elevator doors opened, it ran out and seemed to head into the women’s restroom. Could you check for me?” Liang Tongheng lied without a change in expression.
“Sure.” Manager Lin turned woodenly towards the women’s restroom, internally shocked. Where did a cat come from in this place? Could the president have brought it?
She carefully searched the restroom, but there wasn’t even a shadow of a cat, let alone a person. Manager Lin walked out, puzzled, and reported, “President, there’s no cat inside. At this time, there’s not even a person, let alone a cat.”
“I understand.” Liang Tongheng nodded, turned with the documents, and left.
Manager Lin then floated back to the logistics department.
Meanwhile, Lin Haimian was in the restroom on the 11th floor, quickly applying makeup. After rushing into the restroom, she realized she had pressed the wrong floor, but there was no time to worry about that now. Looking presentable was more important.
With Yi Huahuan’s help, Lin Haimian finished her makeup, discreetly went to the human resources department to get the latest personnel list, and then returned. As for her bag, Yi Huahuan found a good hiding spot for it-in a small cabinet in the break room.
Returning to the office with the documents, Manager Lin didn’t notice anything unusual, and Lin Haimian’s heart finally settled back in place. Of course, she mainly had Yi Huahuan to thank for that.
Sitting back at her desk, Lin Haimian blew a grateful kiss to Yi Huahuan and whispered, “Darling, I truly love you.”
Yi Huahuan shivered visibly.
Lin Haimian then buried herself in work. After the tension, the fatigue hit her doubly hard. She was exhausted.
Yi Huahuan noticed something was off with Lin Haimian, but with the whole office present, it wasn’t the right time to ask. She had to wait until lunchtime.
When Yi Huahuan couldn’t hold back any longer, she moved her chair over to Lin Haimian’s side to ask, only to be startled. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She quickly stood up, one hand grabbing Lin Haimian’s collar and the other supporting her forehead, successfully preventing Lin Haimian from face-planting onto the desk.
