"You will feel better after drinking some water."
Later, Zhu Maolin brought Little Lu back to the company. He took a cup of water from the tea and sent it to Little Lu. The two were sitting in the office at this time.
"Thank you." Little Lu nodded and reached out with both hands to hold the paper cup. This was warm water, and it didn't feel hot at all. In such a winter, there was no cold feeling.
Because it was near the advertising company downstairs, Zhu Maolin simply suggested that Little Lu come back here to rest if she didn't mind. Along the way, there was nothing more to say.
Little Lu seemed to be a little stunned. Her lips were a little pale, and there was a lingering fear in her heart. She looked at Zhu Maolin, "That … manager, don't you want to ask about me?"
Zhu Maolin said calmly, "I said that I won't intervene too much in your affairs. I helped you today mostly because you shot a good film for me. So, your personal affairs are your personal affairs. "
Little Lu lowered her head and took a sip of warm water silently. She looked at the shaking water in the paper cup and said faintly, "I understand … It's the same for anyone. Who would want to get along with someone like me who was involved with those people? Everyone is more afraid of trouble. "
"It's good that you know." Zhu Maolin nodded.
Little Lu suddenly raised her head and said gratefully, "But … but even so, I want to thank you today. Manager Zhu, if it weren't for you today, I really don't know what to do … what to do. "
She was so sad that she was about to cry. This should be a face that can particularly arouse a man's desire to protect. This kind of weak and helpless appearance doesn't seem to be fake.
Zhu Maolin frowned.
How should he put it? The shooting was completed a day ago. They were acquaintances, but he encountered such a thing the next day. Such a coincidence was a bit unbelievable for Zhu Maolin. The reason why he wanted to dissuade the man just now was that maybe there was such a coincidence.
"On the street, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." Zhu Maolin shook his head, "I just said that even if it's not me, there will be someone willing to help. Late or early … If there's nothing else, you can go back by yourself when you have enough rest. Think about how to face those people in the future. But I can make a suggestion. Most of these debt collectors are not good. You can choose to ask the police for help. "
"It's useless, those people!" Little Jade shook her head vigorously.
"Have you tried it?" Zhu Maolin asked.
Little Jade remained silent.
Zhu Maolin suddenly said, "There is still something to eat in the refrigerator in the pantry. If you are hungry, heat it in the microwave. You can rest here for a while. Just be careful not to touch anything. I still have work to do. "
Without giving Xiaolu more room to talk, Zhu Maolin walked directly back to his office, leaving Xiaolu in the empty outer office.
Because the customer's film was completed, the employees who finally didn't have to rush to work could leave early today. So when Zhu Maolin came back with Xiaolu, there was no one here.
It was quiet. Only the faint sound of tapping on the keyboard could be heard from the manager's office. From the gap of the shutter curtain that was not closed tightly, Little Lu could see that Zhu Maolin had obviously entered work mode, as if he had forgotten the passage of time.
"He really doesn't have any resentment …" Little Jade frowned.
Then, the ability of the past dream couldn't be activated. Perhaps as Taisetsu said, her judgment of Zhu Maolin was too hasty.
But if she modified the plan and thoroughly investigated all the information of the investor from now on, it was obviously not in line with her efficient work mode. In that case, she should use Xiaolu's identity to pierce the thick wall built by the other party's indifferent work.
The warm water just now had become cold at this moment. It seemed that people's hearts were also becoming cold.
Xiaolu opened the door of the office on this floor and walked out alone. At this time, Zhu Maolin heard the sound of the door closing outside. He looked up and found that there was no one in the outer office, so he continued to look at the screen without any expression.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
There was no one in the company, and it seemed that he would not stop unless there was a disturbance … until he once again heard movement from the office outside.
Someone was knocking on the outer glass door.
Zhu Maolin frowned. He walked out all the way and found that the person outside the glass door was Little Lu, who had obviously left for some time.
"Why are you back?" Zhu Maolin opened the door and asked in confusion, "Did you forget to take something?"
Little Lu smiled slightly at this time, "Manager, you are still working overtime! Are you hungry? You just helped me. At least let me repay you. Let me treat you to something to eat! "
Zhu Maolin was startled, but he saw Little Lu take out a bowl of instant noodles from the convenience store bag in her hand at this time.
He opened his mouth slightly. It was the first time he saw someone treat someone to this kind of thing as a reward. Zhu Maolin sneered.
Little Lu said with a look of annoyance, "That … actually, I don't have much money on me. Moreover, I can't find anything delicious nearby because it's too late. "
Too late.
Zhu Maolin subconsciously glanced at the time … It was almost twelve o 'clock. In this area with office buildings, there was really nothing to eat. Again … it's this time again.
"But! You can't underestimate it! " Little Lu hurriedly said at this time, "Even if it's instant noodles, as long as you put in a little effort, you can make it very delicious … Um, let me borrow the pantry!"
Little Lu took the bag, lowered her head, walked past Zhu Maolin, and walked quickly into the pantry. Zhu Maolin frowned and followed.
"Don't bother." He looked at Little Lu, "I said, even if I don't help, someone else will stand up for you. You don't have to do this. "
"Very soon!" Little Jade turned around, her eyes full of hope. "It's really very soon …"
This kind of uneasiness and guilt seemed to come from the heart … No, this was something that only came from the heart.
… Am I thinking too much?
Zhu Maolin was silent for a while, then nodded, "You will leave after eating, right?"
Little Jade nodded her head seriously.
"Then it's up to you." Zhu Maolin nodded.
Little Lu began to fiddle with the instant noodles she bought with a smile. She took out the seasoning, poured hot water, and covered it tightly. Then, she put all the seasonings on the lid. Was it … heating?
Next, she took out the pickled mustard and sausages from the bag. She used the fruit knife found in the pantry to cut the pickled mustard into finer pieces. Then, she used the heated seasoning to stir the pickled mustard into a piece. Next, she continued to cut the sausages into thin slices.
The plate was a glass plate used to hold fruit. After Little Lu drained the water of the noodles that had been soaked, she mixed the sauce with the pickled mustard and seasoning into the noodles. Finally, she placed the ham slices on top.
She held the finished noodles in front of Zhu Maolin with both hands, but she looked cautious, "It's ready to eat."
"Why is it so troublesome?" Zhu Maolin looked at Little Lu's results and asked puzzledly.
For him who pursued work efficiency and time, such behavior was really a waste of time. In fact, it tasted no different from mixing these things together.
But Little Lu clearly took out a bottle of orange juice and apple juice at this time, mixed them together, found some ice from the refrigerator, put it in, and sent it to Zhu Maolin. She smiled and said, "This is what I learned when I worked in a restaurant in the past. Mixing these two brands together, the taste is very good. Of course, it's not as delicious as the freshly squeezed ones, but it's okay."
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Little Lu lowered her gaze as if she couldn't face Zhu Maolin's gaze. She whispered, "How should I say it … Sometimes I feel that even if I eat alone, I can't treat myself too badly. Even if it's very simple instant noodles, if I put in some effort to make it for myself, I will be happier. This is also called enjoying life! "
"Really?" Zhu Maolin nodded. There were also such people. In life, many people would think this way, which seemed normal.
"Actually …" Little Lu scratched her earlobe with some embarrassment at this moment, "It's because I eat this kind of thing almost every day. If I don't change the method, I can't even eat it myself. Those words just now were too beautiful. I feel that I can't listen to it anymore. Is the taste okay? "
Zhu Maolin had already started eating. He didn't chew carefully, nor did he devour it. It was just a very efficient way of eating. He said calmly, "There is nothing different about the taste."
"Ah …" Little Lu smiled awkwardly.
Zhu Maolin said coldly, "But the appearance can add a few points. It's okay."
"Really!"
It seemed that it could be easily satisfied. It was just such a simple statement of approval. Zhu Maolin was startled. He had never encountered such a simple little model in the advertising circle. In particular, this was an idea that suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Why do you often eat this kind of thing?" Zhu Maolin suddenly asked, "It stands to reason that you can also take on a job, so you can eat. Didn't I settle the payment for you yesterday? "
Little Lu shook her head and silently cleaned up the garbage after fiddling with this bowl of instant noodles. Zhu Maolin didn't continue to ask.
"I'm done." He finally put down the plate.
"Ah, okay." Little Lu said quickly, "After I wash these, I will leave immediately!"
"En." Zhu Maolin nodded and returned to his office.
Soon after, the lights in the pantry were turned off, and Little Lu left quietly. Zhu Maolin didn't care. He worked for more than an hour like this.
The physical fatigue was already reminding him that it was time to rest. It was time to go home.
He sighed and cleaned up everything here. Before leaving, he subconsciously walked into the pantry, turned on the light, and took a look. This place was unusually clean. Even the floor seemed to be wiped clean.
"Maybe I think too much."
He shook his head and left the company.
She … is probably asleep now, right?
…
The headlights swept across the bus stop on the road. He found that there was still someone in front of the bus stop at this time. She ran around the bus stop in small steps, then jumped. Occasionally, she rubbed her hands and blew into her palms.
"Why are you still here?"
Zhu Maolin had to stop the car. He met the girl again.
"I'm waiting for a bus."
"There is no bus at this time." Zhu Maolin shook his head.
"Then … is there any other bus stop nearby?" Little Lu asked quickly, "I'm not familiar with this place. I can't find the way."
"There is only one nearby." Zhu Maolin shook his head, "Why don't you call a taxi?"
"I see …" Little Lu nodded, "I got it. Manager Zhu, you go back first. I'm fine. You see, the convenience store across the street is still open! "
"En, then you be careful." Zhu Maolin released the car's handbrake again and drove the car out.
He looked at Little Lu in the rearview mirror and found that she just rubbed her hands at this time and sat down. She didn't immediately take out the phone. She just sat there.
He reversed the car back. It was too late. It was okay to not follow the rules a little.
"Ah … Manager Zhu, why are you back?" Little Lu opened her eyes curiously and asked.
It was winter. Her face was already a little pale.
Zhu Maolin frowned and suddenly asked, "Are you … planning to wait here until early morning? Didn't I just ask you to call a taxi? "
"I will call. I will call later. I can't stay here all night! "Little Lu smiled and said," I'm not stupid. "
"Alright, then you can call again." Zhu Maolin nodded.
Little Lu took out her phone, but she saw that Zhu Maolin didn't intend to leave. In the end, she had to say weakly, "I'm sorry. I really intend to wait here because it won't take long, just a few hours. Then … then it's too expensive to take a taxi. "
The car door suddenly opened. Zhu Maolin said in a rather helpless tone, "Get in the car. Where do you live? I will send you back."
"But …"
"Hurry up. Don't waste time."
Little Lu hesitated for a while before saying, "Then … then you wait for a while!"
As she said, she hurriedly ran to the convenience store in front. After a while, she ran back breathlessly. Then, she got into the car and sent a bottle of hot milk to Zhu Maolin, "Manager, you drink this. It's not good to drink coffee and tea so late."
But she didn't buy his share. Zhu Maolin guessed that she might be reluctant to buy his share.
It was already cold when waiting for the taxi.
"Really, are you short of a lot of money?" Zhu Maolin asked abruptly.
Little Lu lowered her head and didn't answer, "You just need to send me to the night bus stop in front. You don't have to send me home …"
"Oh." Zhu Maolin nodded.
The car drove slowly.
Soon after, Zhu Maolin said indifferently, "The client also bought the film you shot. But it shouldn't be broadcast in prime time. If the effect is good, I will recommend you to sign an exclusive contract with this company. "
"Really!"
It was so quiet that only the friction of the wheels and the asphalt road on the road outside could be heard. At this time, a voice broke the silence.
There was really such a girl … untainted by the mud.
Zhu Maolin smiled slightly.
On this road that he was used to late at night, it didn't seem to be as long as before.
