59: Chapter 055 Entering the New Department 59: Chapter 055 Entering the New Department Sixth floor, inside the office. Lu Xiaoman meticulously helped Ye Fan tidying up his stuff. As she did, she nagged at Ye Fan, “Once you’re in the administrative department, you can’t always be late. They’re not as easygoing, especially since they are in charge of discipline. Also, since you’re new, you need to show some respect, be more proactive, be sweeter with your words; that’s how you’ll blend in smoothly with them…” Ye Fan felt both annoyed and a bit touched while listening. “I know, I know!” he called out, somewhat unable to bear it. After packing his things, which weren’t much, Ye Fan picked them up. “Let me walk you over there,” Lu Xiaoman said, not wanting to let go. Ye Fan shook his head with a smile, “It’s not like I’m going somewhere far away, what’s there to send off? Alright, get on with your work, I can handle it myself.” After saying that, he left the office and headed for the administrative office. Unlike the personnel department, which was understaffed with two regular employees sharing an office, the administrative department was large. The office that Ye Fan entered with his belongings was shared by six people. Besides Ye Fan, there were two men and three women in the office. The two male employees were young guys, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing white shirts, black trousers, black leather shoes, with their hair parted 7:3, slicked with gel, a standard white-collar look. Among the three women, one dressed a bit old-fashioned for a middle-aged woman, named Su Meizhen, also known as Sister Zhen. She was the chief of this office and, therefore, Ye Fan’s immediate boss. The other two women were younger girls, one of which was quite attractive, the other of comparatively ordinary looks. When Ye Fan came in, the two young women immediately came over to help him organize his desk enthusiastically. After arranging everything, Ye Fan thanked them with a smile, “Thank you for helping, beauties. I haven’t had the chance to ask for your names yet.” “It’s no trouble. My name is Xie Junru,” said the more engaging girl first. “The ordinary-looking girl followed with, “My name is Zhang Liping. We will be working together in the same office from now on, so helping each other is what we should do.” After the two women returned to their desks and continued their work, Ye Fan switched on his computer. Before he could go online, Su Meizhen, who sat in the corner of the room, beckoned him over with an old-fashioned tone, “Ye, come here for a moment.” Ye Fan had to stand up and walk over. Next to Su Meizhen, she glanced at Ye Fan and handed him several forms, saying, “Fill out these forms and hand them to me before lunch.” “I’m not good with computers, can’t do it,” Ye Fan said indolently. Just got here and already such a workload… could I no longer enjoy life leisurely? Did I enter Emali Group just to toil away in paperwork? Don’t be ridiculous! So, he immediately refused the work arrangement made by Su Meizhen. Su Meizhen didn’t expect Ye Fan to refuse and frowned, “If you’re not good with computers, then hand it in before you finish work today.” “Can’t do it,” said Ye Fan. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Su Meizhen’s face darkened as she raised her voice, “What do you mean? You don’t have to work because you’re not good with computers? Take it! If you’re not good, then learn seriously. We don’t keep idlers in the group!” Xie Junru, Zhang Liping, and the other two male colleagues stopped their work and looked over. Just transferred, Ye Fan didn’t want to argue for now, so he took the forms and said, “Just to be clear, I can’t guarantee when it will be finished.” Saying that, he turned back to his desk. Su Meizhen huffed in anger but didn’t explode. Ye Fan returned to his desk, carelessly threw the forms on it, and started browsing the web, with no intention of doing the paperwork. It wasn’t long before his phone suddenly rang. He took it out to see an unsaved phone number on the display, but it looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered the number belonged to Qin Mengyao and immediately cut the call. Just as he cut off the call, Qin Mengyao called again. Ye Fan continued to disconnect, feeling a bit annoyed. Consequently, he set Qin Mengyao’s number as a blacklisted number in his phone. Finally quiet for a while, right as he opened a news website, the phone rang again. This time, everyone in the office looked over. Ye Fan let out a chuckle and said, “Sorry about that.” However, there was no sign of apology on his face. The incoming call was from an unfamiliar landline number in Hua Hai city, so he answered, “Hello, who’s this?” “It’s me, Meng Yao,” a crisp female voice came from the phone. Ye Fan’s face turned sour immediately as he hung up the call. As soon as he disconnected, Qin Mengyao called again. This time, Su Meizhen really had something to say, “Ye, why so many calls? Take them outside.” Ye Fan was also annoyed with Qin Mengyao and immediately stepped out of the office and answered the call with a cold voice, “Qin Mengyao, can you give it a rest? Stop bothering me!” “I’m sorry, Ye,” Qin Mengyao didn’t sound angry and continued, “Ye, I know I was wrong. I want to apologize to you in person and sincerely thank you for saving my aunt and me, okay?” “Qin Mengyao, what’s the trick now? Cut the crap!” Ye Fan didn’t believe a word Qin Mengyao said. With her voice low and earnest, Qin Mengyao pleaded, “I’m being genuine. Please?” “No way!” Ye Fan said, “I’m warning you, stop harassing me. If you do it again, I will really get angry, and the consequences will be severe! Rape first, kill later, kill then rape again!” “Ye, I won’t give up until I can apologize to you in person and express my genuine gratitude every day,” Qin Mengyao stubbornly said. “Driving me nuts. No good deed goes unpunished!” Ye Fan said angrily, “Are you sure you want to meet? Not afraid I’ll actually act on ‘rape first, kill later, kill then rape again’!” “I’m not afraid!” said Qin Mengyao. Ye Fan, who hated being bothered, relented, “Fine, tonight at seven, Kai De Coffee House on Tianyuan Road in Liu Jia Hui. Dress normal, so I don’t lose my appetite!” “Got it, thank you, Ye, see you tonight,” Qin Mengyao said happily. After hanging up, Ye Fan exhaled deeply, finding Qin Mengyao both annoying and bothersome. Back in the office, Ye Fan, out of boredom, browsed the web for a while, then something crossed his mind, “Since I’m idling away, why not make some extra cash? Hua Chang Investment Fund is vigorously investing in Emali Group, and Emali has launched a new Biomedical project. With such positive news, Emali’s stock will definitely surge. If I buy in now…” With that thought, Ye Fan left the office and headed to the safety stairwell at the end of the corridor, took out his phone, and dialed a number. Soon, the call connected, and a middle-aged man speaking English replied, “Hello, I’m Robert Laurenson. Can I help you?”
