Chapter 17: Can’t you do without a man?

But the man didn't even raise his head, kept fiddling with his phone, and spoke impatiently.

"Then what?"

Su Yan reacted quickly and gave a brief introduction.

"My name is Su Yan, and I graduated from ... "

"Got it, go back and wait for notification."

From beginning to end, the interviewer ended the interview without even seeing her face clearly.

It's because she has no choice now. At least she has a job and can look forward to a salary to support her family.

When I walked out of the office building, the sky was gray.

The rain hung in the sky, emitting an unpleasant smell.

She strolled aimlessly along the wall of the building and saw a cafe not far away.

After ordering, she found a seat by the window.

Looking at the crowd hurrying by outside the window, her heart was in a mess.

The boundless future and the tight present situation made her exhausted.

The steaming latte was placed on the table and didn't lose a drop of its flavor until it cooled down.

It was getting dark outside.

Just as I stood up and was about to leave, the phone in my bag suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone nervously.

"Su Yan?"

The voices over there sounded strange and distant, and the surrounding environment was a bit noisy.

She agreed subconsciously.

"Um."

"Congratulations on passing our interview. Please start work on time at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"What?"

The news came too suddenly and Su Yan couldn't believe it at all.

The other end did not understand her excitement and asked as if it was a routine matter.

"Don't you want to join us? Okay, I wish you a happy life ... "

"No, no, no, I will be at work on time tomorrow, thank you!"

Even though they didn't meet, Su Yan bowed repeatedly with his phone in hand, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

After hanging up the phone, she held the phone tightly.

This job is not ideal, but it is her only lifeline at the moment.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the cold latte on the table. She simply asked the waiter to add ice and fill a new cup. After taking a sip, she found that it tasted really good.

The iced latte was a flavor she had never tried before.

Just like this current job is a field she has never been involved in.

She hoped that the result would be as good as today's iced latte.

When she got home, she excitedly shared the good news with her mother.

After the two of them had dinner together, Su Yan went to bed early.

The next morning, she double-checked what she needed to bring to work, cheered herself up in the mirror, and walked out the door with brisk steps.

Following her memory, she came to the somewhat dilapidated office building again.

After getting on the elevator, the front desk clerk was still answering the phone non-stop, and she found the man who ignored her again.

"Hello, I am here to start work today."

"I'm not in charge of hiring you. Go find Xiao Li."

He still looked the same, not even looking at me, but just pointing in a random direction with his hand.

"OK, thanks."

Su Yan retreated to the door and closed it gently.

She randomly picked someone and was given the same perfunctory treatment before she even finished speaking.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, a woman who was a few years older appeared in a hurry.

"You are the new employee today ... What's your name?"

"Su Yan."

Following behind her, Su Yan also started to jog.

He stopped beside a workstation that was piled with miscellaneous items.

"This is your workstation. These are the documents you need to process today. Give them to me before leaving get off work. If you don't know, ask them."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Su Yan looked at the place in front of him which could barely be called a "work station".

She began to clean up.

I thought that at the beginning, I would need to familiarize myself with some professional design software and the company's rules and regulations, but who knew that I would only be asked to do some miscellaneous work.

Print a few documents, replace the coffee in the tea room's coffee pot, and pick up some office supplies.

Although there wasn't much to do, after she finished it all, it was already time to get off work. When she looked up, she found that the entire office was empty.

She thought back to the day when she seemed to have not spoken to anyone and just completed these chores silently.

I felt a little disappointed, but I quickly adjusted myself.

After all, it was just the beginning. After finishing the final work, she packed up and prepared to go home.

Walking to the door of the coffee shop she had been to yesterday, she thought this was her lucky place, so she went in and ordered another iced latte, then took out her cell phone and called Pei Xiao.

"Lawyer Pei, I would like to ask what are the chances of my father's success in the case?"

Every time she asked him about the progress, he always gave her a perfunctory answer, so this time she asked in a different way.

"No lawyer will guarantee you a chance of winning. Don't destroy my reputation."

"good."

This time Su Yan didn't ask any more questions.

She was afraid that her constant urging would make him lose his patience, so she hung up the phone.

Pei Xiao was prepared to deal with her, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to this time.

He was busy getting himself ready for a dinner party in the evening.

After arriving at the agreed location and having three rounds of drinks with his friends, he gradually relaxed a lot.

"Do you still remember that Su Yan?"

No one knew who mentioned that woman, and everyone looked at Pei Xiao.

"The innocent little beauty Pei Lu brought last time?"

"She now works for a small design company, doing odd jobs there."

Hearing this, those people all smiled maliciously.

"Pei Lu, if you get tired of playing, you can share it with the brothers. It's better than doing odd jobs there."

The exposed smiles of several people came to an abrupt end when they met Pei Xiao's murderous eyes.

"We were just joking, Pei Lu, let's drink."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, the few of them quickly put away their smiles and drank a few glasses of wine as punishment.

Fortunately, Pei Xiao did not pursue the matter further, but silently wrote down the address of the company that several people had just mentioned.

On the second day of Su Yan's work, Sister Li, who brought her to her workstation yesterday, gave her another document with similar content to yesterday.

She wanted to say something but kept her mouth shut.

After receiving the documents, she began to busy herself with the tasks listed above.

When it was almost time to get off work, there was a problem with a document that needed to be printed.

She randomly asked someone standing next to her.

"Hello, there seems to be something wrong with this file. Is it ... "

When Pei Xiao appeared, he happened to see a man standing beside Su Yan, patiently instructing him on something. The two of them exchanged glances from time to time.

It seems that she is not doing odd jobs here as those people say, but is living a pretty comfortable life.

I don’t know how long it took, but at the last second before his patience ran out, Su Yan finally noticed him standing at the door.

"Lawyer Pei?"

She was a little surprised, but what the man said next was really vicious.

"Can't you live without a man?"
