Chapter 236: Surprised Guan Juer
At the front desk of the investment banking department of Huaxin Securities in Shanghai, Guan Juer held a phone in her hand and looked at the rider in front of her holding a large bouquet of baby's breath with a puzzled look on her face.
"That was you who called me?"
"Is it Miss Guan Juer?"
Guan Juer nodded gently.
"Here are your flowers, please sign for them..."
"Um, who sent that?" Guan Juer asked curiously, her eyes full of confusion and a hint of anticipation.
"There is a card inside, please take a look for yourself..."
After Guan Juer signed for the flowers, she carefully took out the card inside. It turned out to be the flowers sent by Brother Chen. She was overjoyed and quickly took out her cell phone to call Chen An, but she didn't expect that the phone was turned off?
Guan Ju immediately had a lot of question marks on her head and returned to the department with the flowers. The bouquet of beautiful flowers immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Hey Xiaoguan, I was wondering why you went out in such a hurry just now. It turns out someone sent you flowers. Is it your boyfriend? Let's introduce him to each other when we have a chance." My colleague Xiao Ye came over with a gossipy look on her face, staring at the bouquet of flowers, as if she wanted to find out some secret from it.
Guan Juer's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Not yet my boyfriend's."
"That's the suitor. Don't mention Xiaoguan, you have good taste. The blue color of baby's breath is relatively rare and it smells really good." Another colleague also joked with a meaningful smile on his face and his eyes full of curiosity and envy.
Guan Juer lowered her head even more, hugged the flower tightly with both hands, and her fingers unconsciously pinched the petals. She felt a little shy and at a loss, but at the same time, there was a kind of faint expectation and happiness in her heart.
Especially in the company, she was a nobody because of her academic qualifications. Everyone has vanity, and this was the first time she received flowers.
Everyone joked for a few words, but seeing that Guan Juer was shy, they didn't ask any more questions. After all, she was still very busy at work.
After drinking a cup of coffee with Feng Ling in the cafe, Chen An gained a lot. Not only did he learn some inside stories of the industry, but he also gained a talent. The other party was also an editor and had a good relationship with Sister Feng Ling. Later, due to some internal affairs of the company, he quit this job in a fit of anger and began to write works seriously.
Chen An got the contact information of a person with bad temper but capable. As for whether he could be brought to his side to help or have future cooperation, it all depends on Chen An's own ability. Chen An is not in a hurry about this matter. Since the other party is the author, he must first understand the other party's character from the work.
After driving to a hotel near the Ode to Joy community and checking in, Chen An washed up and changed his clothes. He looked at the time and it was already past five o'clock. If he drove there at this time, he should be able to catch Guan Juer getting off work.
Half an hour later, Chen An drove to the gate of Modou International Building and was stunned by the scene before him.
There are many luxury cars here, and the shiny cars are neatly arranged, just like a top car show. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Rolls-Royce and other famous cars are dazzling. If you don't know, you would really think that this is the gate of a famous art school. The luxurious scene is jaw-dropping.
Chen An couldn't find a parking space, so he could only follow the crowd and park in a temporary parking space on the roadside. Chen An sat next to the car, with surprise and emotion in his eyes, and witnessed many beautiful women swaying their bodies, smiling sweetly, getting into luxury cars, and then driving away.
The owners of those luxury cars are mostly successful people dressed in suits and with slicked-back hair and powdered faces, with confidence and complacent smiles on their faces.
As for the men holding roses and wearing neat suits, there were quite a few of them. Some looked very proud, some were anxiously looking at the company's gate, and some were making phone calls with a flattering look on their faces.
Chen An sighed in his heart, as expected, there are too many rich people in Demon City.
Relatively speaking, Chen An's sunny and handsome outfit of jeans, white shoes, T-shirt, jacket and sunglasses is quite rare among this crowd of well-dressed people.
Of course, his outstanding appearance did attract the attention of many beautiful women, but Chen An didn't feel anything about it. He just focused on looking at the high-rise buildings in front of him. He had only one thought in his mind: within three years, he would overlook the scenery of the Magic City from here.
Time is like the sand in an hourglass, passing silently minute by minute. The traffic at the door also gradually becomes sparse as time goes by.
However, Guan Juer did not show up. Chen An looked at his watch and saw that it was already past half past six. At this time, many places in the building were still lit up, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
This is the unique charm of big cities, but it is also the pressure that countless small people bear. Under these lights, there are figures who are fighting for their dreams and lives.
At this moment, in Huaxin Securities, Guan Juer was sitting at her workstation, writing furiously and rushing to finish a report. As one of the three busiest departments in the company, the workload faced by interns was beyond imagination.
Among this batch of interns, there were ten people assigned to their department, most of whom had connections. When it came time for the year-end assessment, no more than two people would be able to stay, and the competition was extremely fierce.
In terms of relationships, Guan Juer has no advantages at all; in terms of academic qualifications, she is at the bottom.
The only thing that allows her to gain a foothold in this fierce competition is her spirit of striving for progress and never giving up.
"Guan Guan, you haven't finished yet. Don't you have a date tonight?" a colleague asked casually as he passed by her workstation.
"There are still some things that haven't been completed..." Guan Juer didn't even raise her head, and kept writing with the pen in her hand.
"Then I'll go first. Bye and see you tomorrow." The colleague waved hand.
"Bye..." Guan Juer responded and continued to work.
At 7:20 in the evening, Chen An finally saw Guan Juer walking out of the building slowly with her head drooping, looking exhausted. She looked as if all the strength in her body had been drained out. In her current state, she would not be home until after 8 o'clock.
"Guan Guan..."
Hearing the voice, Guan Juer was stunned. She quickly looked up and around, and suddenly saw a man waving at her not far away. She pushed her glasses unconsciously and blinked, as if to make sure she was not dazzled.
"Brother Chen..." Guan Juer's eyes lit up instantly. She trotted to Chen An, shaking off her previous decadent look, and asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up?" Her face was filled with a bright smile, and her eyes were full of excitement and surprise.
"I arrived in the afternoon and did some things. I was curious about how you usually go to and from get off work, so I came to take a look." Chen An smiled and looked at Guan Juer tenderly.
Guan Juer was very happy. She looked at the time and suggested, "Brother Chen, you haven't eaten yet, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you..."
"Let's go, get in the car first..." Chen An said, making a gesture of invitation.
