“Holy crap! Guys, look, it’s a BMW i8!”
At 9:00 AM, one male employee, who had been buried in his work, suddenly stopped and was drawn to the luxury car outside the company.
The silver-white BMW slammed on its brakes, kicking up a flurry of snow. Its nearly perfect lines and body were the dream of countless men. However, with empty pockets, such a sports car could only be admired from afar and not toyed with.
“Did our unit sign a deal with some big shot again?”
“It’s possible, but I think even if we did sign a deal, the boss wouldn’t come personally.”
“That car is really beautiful. For working stiffs like us, there’s probably no hope of buying a car like that in this lifetime.”
“Just look at it; don’t get any ideas.”
The colleagues were buzzing with discussion about the BMW at the entrance, debating its price and model. To show his disdain, one person claimed that the BMW i8 was a model with extremely low cost-performance, saying it was uncomfortable to sit in and that only people with more money than brains would buy it.
But someone quickly stood up to object, stating they would be willing to trade half their IQ for that car.
“So, what kind of person is the owner?”
“We’re about to see.”
Countless gazes converged on the BMW, waiting for the owner to make a grand appearance. Finally, the flashy and stylish silver-white butterfly door opened.
Stepping out from the driver’s seat was a woman with a high ponytail, red lips, and skin as white as snow. A pure black trench coat perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Beneath her Balenciaga patterned black stockings were a pair of long boots, and the jewelry on her body was glittering and dazzling.
She was a queen in every sense of the word. Even if no one crowned her, the pressure she exuded was enough to make people’s legs feel weak. The woman took off her sunglasses, and the male colleagues who saw her features were completely dazed.
However, after getting out of the car, she didn’t walk toward the company entrance. Instead, she headed toward the passenger side.
“No way, is that woman a driver?”
“How could such a beautiful woman be a driver? This isn’t some urban power fantasy.”
“If it were an urban power fantasy, after the woman opens the door, the man should at least be an overbearing CEO, right?”
The colleagues focused their attention on the passenger seat, swallowing hard. The door opened.
What appeared in the eyes of the office colleagues was not an overbearing CEO, but an extremely ordinary man — so ordinary that any adjective used to describe him would be a waste.
A confused employee from the second floor asked, “Which family’s young master is that?”
“That’s Gao Sijin from our first-floor operations department. Don’t you recognize him?” Young Master Zhao looked back at the second-floor employee and teased, “Forget it, you probably don’t. After all, you people on the second floor are all elites, throwing all the dirty and tiring work to us on the first floor.”
“Man, I know you feel it’s unfair, but this is a legacy issue in the company. There’s nothing I can do.” The second-floor employee nudged Young Master Zhao with his elbow. “But is this young master really from the first floor?”
“Who else would he be?”
In the company, the second floor was mostly a place for employees from the security and logistics departments to slack off. Those with ambition would head to the third-floor finance department, which had a lot of room for advancement.
As for the first-floor operations department, it handled nearly 80% of the entire company’s workload. In a certain South Asian country, they would be considered Dalits.
The second-floor employee commented, “It’s truly surreal that someone whose family drives a BMW would come to work on the first floor.”
“I think it’s quite fantastic that someone whose family drives a BMW would do the grunt work in our company.”
“But to be fair, Young Master Gao’s woman is truly gorgeous.”
“For sure. Just looking at those legs, I could eat ten bowls of rice.”
Gao Sijin, who was usually an invisible nobody, became the focus of the entire company at that moment. The person with the most interesting expression was none other than Director Liu. Just a moment ago, she had been the loudest in shouting about Gao Sijin being late, but now she was completely silent.
In fact, at the very beginning, Director Liu had actually been friendly with Gao Sijin for a while. But anyone with eyes could see that her friendliness back then was only to fish for information about Gao Sijin’s family background. After learning that his family was just average, Director Liu had treated him entirely like a tool.
Director Liu found Minister Sun and asked, “Minister Sun, what does Young Gao’s family actually do?”
Minister Sun replied, “I don’t know either. But lately, CEO Han has been frequently instructing us department heads to take better care of Young Gao. Didn’t Director Zhang introduce a blind date to him before? That was also specially arranged by CEO Han. Our logistics company wants to expand into new markets and plans to transfer Young Gao abroad.”
“Transfer him to which country?”
“J Nation.”
“He doesn’t even know Japanese. Why transfer him to J Nation?”
“After reviewing his resume, they specifically asked for Young Gao. It seems they want to focus on training him.” Minister Sun looked at Director Liu and asked, “By the way, did you need something?”
“It’s nothing big. Wasn’t Young Gao late today? I originally wanted to give him a few warnings to be more careful in the future, but never mind. He’s about to be transferred abroad anyway. Just thinking that I won’t see him anymore makes me feel quite sad,” Director Liu spoke hypocritically.
At the company entrance, Gao Sijin felt the world spinning. Since he was a child, his greatest fear was being the center of attention.
“Sijin, today you’re the coolest guy in your company.”
“I really have to thank you for that.”
“You’re welcome. Come, let’s have one last hug before I go.”
Before Gao Sijin could react, Yu Qingxue immediately hooked her arms around his neck and hugged him. He felt as if his body was being stained with her citrus perfume.
“Bye-bye. I’ll pick you up tonight~”
After Yu Qingxue left, Gao Sijin stood dazed at the company entrance. Through the windows, he noticed his colleagues staring at him with burning gazes, as if they were looking at a giant panda in a zoo. At the thought of being interrogated after entering the company, Gao Sijin felt an immense sense of resistance in his heart.
“Aren’t you going to work?” Feng Xiaohe, who arrived at the company at the same time, asked.
“I don’t really feel like working today…”
“Oh.”
Feng Xiaohe was the first to step into the company. Looking at her back, Gao Sijin hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to enter the building.
The two of them were about a meter apart. Suddenly, Feng Xiaohe stopped, causing Gao Sijin to accidentally bump into her back.
“By the way,” Feng Xiaohe suddenly said.
“What is it, Sister Feng?”
“I dreamed a couple of days ago that I married you.”
The seemingly casual words seemed to carry a deeper meaning. After saying that, she walked away in her black high heels. The *thud-thud* sound of her heels hitting the floor felt identical to the rhythm of Gao Sijin’s heartbeat. Feng Xiaohe’s expression remained cold, elegant, and arrogant from start to finish, as if what she had just said was merely her talking to herself.
“Young Master Gao!”
“The three-year period is over! Welcome back, Dragon King!”
“You guys are really something…”
In just five minutes, news about Gao Sijin spread like wildfire throughout the company. Some said the girl was a rich socialite who had tasted all the world’s delicacies and occasionally wanted to try simple, home-cooked fare. Others said Gao Sijin was actually a hidden wealthy young master who had come to the company to experience the various facets of life.
But regardless, his colleagues’ attitudes toward him had changed.
“Young Gao, just play on your phone after you finish your work.” Director Liu, who was once very skilled at dumping work on others, was now being extremely polite to Gao Sijin.
“Brother Gao, let me go get you some hot water.” Zhou, who used to be hostile and full of sarcasm toward Gao Sijin, now wore a kind and friendly face.
