C6 Relieving Thousands of Sores
Early Monday morning, Lily stood on the ground floor of the Institute's office building with a neat ponytail and a stack of file boxes above her nose, waiting for the elevator.
Early in the morning, he received a call from the Deputy Chief of Staff, Zhou Yu, asking her to bring the file boxes from the meeting room on the first floor back to the office on the tenth floor. She had already done this three times, but luckily it was the last one.
"Ding!"
The elevator stopped on the 8th floor. A reckless guy accidentally touched Lily who was standing in front of the elevator as he stepped out. The documents boxes in her hands clattered all over the elevator door.
"I'm sorry, Little Zhen. I'm in a hurry to attend the meeting …" The one who bumped into her was Little Liu of the Labour Department, who was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he was going to be late.
"It's fine, it's fine. Go ahead, I'll pick it up." Lily had no time to argue with him. In order to not affect the elevator as it continued to ascend, she had no choice but to step out of the elevator and bend down to pick up the items.
Little Liu quickly apologized and dashed into the meeting room.
Lily squatted on the ground, her long cotton dress spread out on the ground. She bent her head, pursed her lips, carefully and a little anxiously arranging the things in her hands. Her long hair hung down to the side of her head, making her look like a beautiful butterfly that had stopped in its tracks.
The elevator door closed. Nian and Jiang, who was standing in the innermost area, took one last look at Lily who was squatting on the floor and picking up the document case in a sorry state. Their sword-like eyebrows slightly knitted together and a meaningful smile appeared in their long and narrow peach blossom eyes.
Just as Lily returned to her office with a twenty-centimeter-tall document case, Zhou Yu handed her a spray bottle and a key. "Go to the 15th floor and pour over the flowers in the Nian book office."
"Ah?" It's already time for work. If I go and water the flowers, will it affect the boss's office? " Lily wiped her sweat and hesitated.
"If the Boss was here, I would still give you the key! Hurry up and go. Nian BIng went down to the ground level early in the morning and came back late. " Zhou Yu forced the key into Lily's hand.
The lily filled the watering can and went up to the fifteenth floor. This was the highest floor of the institute, and also the office arranged for Nian and Jiang the station head. He was the only person on the entire floor.
He was at the peak of the world! Lily walked through the empty floors. Just as she inserted the key into the lock, she heard the office phone ring. It was immediately followed by the magnetic voice of Nian and Jiang: "Hello, Bureau Chief Zhao …"
Lily froze for a moment, and then quietly withdrew her hand. She pressed her ear against the door and listened, and after confirming that there was no ghost, she carefully put down the spray bottle. She held the handle of the door with one hand and slowly pulled out the key with the other.
Oh my god, this call for help came just in time! If he really did charge in and saw something he shouldn't have seen or heard … Lily mischievously stuck out her tongue, bent over, and quietly turned to leave with the key and spray bottle in her hand.
He had just taken two steps when the door behind him opened with a creak. The magnetic and gentle voice of Nian and Jiang could be heard. "Is something the matter?"
Lily wrinkled her brows in frustration, turned around and raised the spray bottle in her hands, then said with a smile, "Hello, New Year's Book. I'm here to water the plants in your office."
He glanced at what she was holding in her hand and opened the office door. "Come in."
Jiang He sat in the chair and lit up a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and calmly looked at the lily that was carefully watering the plants. He lightly exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said, "Don't you have any hour labourers in your institute?"
"Hmm?" Lily turned her head and stared blankly at the boss, not knowing what he was suddenly asking.
"What's your director's number?" Nian and Jiang Meng smoked a mouthful of cigarette smoke as they asked her indifferently.
"Inline, 146."
Watching Jiang and Nian's face scowl as they dialed the number, Lily felt her heart thumping, afraid that she had failed and had implicated everyone in the office.
"Director Tian, how many people are in your office …" Three? It was indeed a bit much. No wonder he had sent all his men to do the hourly chores. "How about this, send me a copy of the cadres' roster." Nian He and Jiang looked unhappy. Their tone were full of criticism.
Lily quickly explained with an awkward smile, "You misunderstood me. The head of the department was worried about the clock cleaners coming into the head office, so the head office was cleaned and tidied by the staff of the committee office and the secretary department.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, he continued, "We should have organized everything well before you arrived. Please forgive us for being late today!"
"Is that so?" Nian Bing put out the cigarette in his hand and smiled faintly. "Since you are the one who cleaned the office of the Head of the Department, shouldn't my office send someone who is at least of a higher level to clean it?"
"This …" Lily lowered her head, hesitantly not knowing how to explain, but in her heart, she decided to give this big boss's work style a big cross.
The boss was unhappy not because he had done something wrong, but because his status was not good enough to serve him! He really is the head of the headquarters. This show is really awesome.
"It's alright. You can go back to work." Nian and Jiang waved their hands and lit up another cigarette with a "Pa" sound.
Lily felt that she had stirred up a disaster, and dejectedly retreated out of the room.
As soon as she stepped into the stairwell, the elevator door opened and Tian Bo, the director of the committee office, walked into the office with a copy of the roster, looking worried.
"It's fine, you guys are looking for a secretary for me right now, so I won't trouble you guys to send me any books. I'll just settle one myself." Nian and Jiang held up the cadre roster that Tian Bo handed to them. As they read, they asked, "Is there any major that has graduated from the secretary department? My mission here is to do a research report and I need a professional assistant. "
"I do, I'll go down and help you choose …" Tian Bo heaved a sigh of relief. So it was for this.
"Your office also has a Master of Arts?" Nian and Jiang did not wait for Tian Bo to finish, pointing at the column of information on the list of lilies, and asked him.
"Yes, this girl is quite quick-witted, but she has very little experience." Tian Bo said with a smile.
"It's good if she has less experience. Her mind is not constrained by so many patterns. She's fine!"
Lily returned to her office. Just as she put down the spray bottle in her hands, Zhou Yu walked over with a displeased expression on her face. "What are you doing? Isn't it rather efficient for you to work normally?" "Even the boss couldn't get his flowers watered properly. Now, not only are you dissatisfied with the New Year's book, you even called Director Tian to criticize it!"
Lily looked at Zhou Yu's exquisite face and puffed out her chest in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "The New Year Book's office needs at least a department official like you to clean it, not a small shrimp soldier like me."
Ever since she had arrived at the Board office, Zhou Yu had relied on her status as a boss. Not only did she place all the duties of the Board office on Baihe, she had also given the cleanliness of the Board Office to the Head of the Board.
Lily was tired every day, and would often have to write her boss's speech in the middle of the night. Zhou Yu, on the other hand, would either take her script to the boss for credit or sit in the office with her legs crossed over her coffee cup, reading a magazine.
"Yo!" Zhou Yu sneered, his face filled with disdain. "So what you're saying is that Nian Bing asked you to notify me and let me clean his office?"
"You can say that!"
Before Lily could say anything, she heard Dean Tian's voice. He walked in and sternly said to Zhou Yu, "Next week, Wu Shuo will be participating in a research seminar. You can go and write his speech now."
"Isn't this all written by Little Zhen?" Zhou Yu lowered her arms and cast a sidelong glance at the lily. Damn girl, you can't possibly have reported this matter to Director Tian as well, right?
"From today onwards, she will be working as an assistant for Nian Bing. From now on, you'll have to trouble yourself with all the big and small matters in the office." After he finished speaking, Director Tian turned around and smiled to the astonished Lily. "Pack your stuff and move to the small office opposite the New Year's Book. This is a good opportunity to show off in front of the Leader. Do your job well!"
Lily glanced at Zhou Yu, who was stomping her feet in anger, and said to Director Tian with a helpless smile, "Director, I feel that I'm not suitable to be an assistant to such a big boss …"
"Don't be modest, I have long seen through your ability!" "Hurry up and pack up. We should report last year's books!" Director Tian patted her shoulder confidently, smiling sincerely.
"Okay, thank you!"
Although Lily did not know why her boss would suddenly make such a personnel change, she could not refuse. She could only thank Director Tian, pack up her things and head up to the fifteenth floor.
The door of the small office opposite Jiang's office had already opened. Lily put her things on the desk, tidied up her appearance, and nervously knocked on the door of the office opposite.
"Come in."
He pushed the door open and walked in. Nian Bing and Jiang Zheng were staring at a document without moving. They didn't even look at her. The cigarette in his hand had already been burnt to ashes.
Wasn't he the one who shouted "Come in" just now?
Lily quietly curled her lips, went up and politely said, "Hello, Nian Shu. I am Zhen Baihe from the Commission's office and am officially reporting to you! "
