It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Wen Ran returned home. She couldn't fall asleep because of the strangeness and time difference.

She suddenly remembered that she had been taken a detour by the taxi driver during the day, and then searched on the Internet for "What if the taxi took a detour."

Many foreigners like Wen Ran had been tricked on the Internet, and someone had given them a detailed solution.

According to the process, Wen Ran spent more than half an hour complaining about the black-hearted driver.

Two days later, the results of the complaint came out. The taxi company apologized to Wen Ran and said they had already punished the illegal driver and returned all her fare through the original channels.

Before joining the company, Wen Ran received some international express deliveries one after another, bought some tools, and transformed the small room into a small studio.

She mainly stayed in the studio to freshen up when she adjusted the time difference.

In the next week, Wen Ran officially joined the company.

In the morning light, the busy city woke up. The steam whistles were heard, and the crowd was rushing.

The taxi that Wen Ran took was stopped at the river bank. There was a different atmosphere between day and night here. The bright romance faded away at this moment and turned into a silent and hard building.

The traffic jam took a lot of time. Wen Ran was glad that she had habitually reserved extra time for her work, so she was not late.

She thought that she had to get up early tomorrow so that she could have time for breakfast.

Carlyle Company was a single five-story building.

It was shaped like an art exhibition hall with an exaggerated combination of folding corners and lines. It was said that it was designed by a construction master in F Country who had won an international architectural award.

Led by the person in the HR department, Wen Ran went through the admission procedures according to the rules.

The girl who registered with Wen Ran was Ivy.

While they sat at the small round table and waited for the process, Ivy whispered to Wen Ran, "Did you also under Mrs. Xu?"

Wen Ran nodded. "Yes."

"Have you heard that? Mrs. Xu..." Ivy looked at the news next to her and whispered to Wen Ran. "I heard that the company fired Mrs. Xu."

“...”

Ivy curled her lips, feeling sorry and confused. "She's one of the founding members of the company. Why was she suddenly fired? Tell me, what's the reason?"

Wen Ran shook her head slightly and didn't reply.

Although she knew the reason.

She had witnessed the grimly moment when Yan Wangshu decided to remove Xu Yuling from the position of design director in less than a minute. Because her niece had joined the competition company, she had not reported it to the company.

Ivy rested her chin on one hand and said worriedly, "Mrs. Xu is gone. I don't know who is in charge of us now."

Wen Ran felt that it was none of their business, so she didn't need to spend time and energy worrying about it.

Wen Ran comforted her considerately, "Someone will always take care of us."

Ivy thought for a moment and relaxed. "That's true."

After that, Wen Ran and Ivy were taken to the Counter Product Design Department.

At the door, there was a row of golden products, which read, "The designer's product is a work."

When they arrived at the Design Department, a woman came out of the small office and said differently, "Five minutes later, to the conference room."

Wen Ran and Ivy followed her into the conference room and sat at the back.

Ivy was extroverted and asked her colleague, "Excuse me, who called us for the meeting just now?"

"Her name is Wu Yunshan, one of the chief designers of our department."

Wu Yunshan was here?

Wen Ran felt that this name was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and it was quiet in an instant.

Wu Yunshan came in and put the folder on the conference table.

The atmosphere became inexplicably serious.

The content of the meeting was the summary of last month's work, the distribution of this month's work, and the critical planning.

Wen Ran was confused, mainly because she didn't match the name and details of the project she was talking about.

When the meeting was about to end, Wu Yunshan put her hands on the table, glanced at Wen Ran and Ivy, and said, "New coworkers, introduce yourself."

When they were suddenly called out, Wen Ran and Ivy looked at each other.

"I'll go-" Ivy leaned over slightly to get close to Wen Ran and asked in a low voice, "You go first, or I go first?"

Wen Ran said lightly, "You go first."

Wen Ran had never introduced herself, so she carefully referred to Ivy.

Ivy stood up and introduced herself generously. "Hello, everyone. My name is Ivy. I graduated from ZG Geological University. In my second year as an exchange student, I went to AJMY Jewelry Design College. During this period, I was lucky enough to win the silver award in XX competition in the form of a team..."

After Ivy introduced herself for about two minutes, there was a faint applause after she sat down.

After the applause, Wen Ran stood up in front of everyone.

Wen Ran couldn't refer to Ivy, who was rich and excellent in self-introduction. After all, she couldn't pick up any eye-catching social recognition experience in the past 22 years.

She could only introduce herself briefly. "Hello, everyone. My name is Wen Ran. I haven't participated in a jewelry competition for the time being. I hope to learn more from you. Thank you."

After saying that, Wen Ran bowed slightly and sat down.

Ivy approached hER in disbelief. "It's no more?"

Wen Ran nodded.

After a few seconds of silence, someone took the lead in applauding, and a few people began to cooperate.

Wu Yunshan pressed her hands down, and the applause ended.

She looked at Wen Ran with her head slightly tilted. Her long curly hair fell to her chest, and her eyes were sharp. "At least tell us which university you graduated from, what major you majored in, and what field you are good at."

Wen Ran said directly, "I didn't go to college."

As for what domain she was good at...

Wen Ran said, "I know a little about everything."

Wen Ran didn't know that her honest self-introduction was like stepping on thunder in the workplace. But she could feel that the conference room was so quiet that she could hear the sound of breathing.

It was Wu Yunshan who broke the silence.

She picked up the folder and walked out. "You two follow Group 1 first. The meeting is over."

After the meeting, their seniors arranged Wen Ran and Ivy to the corresponding positions, and no one took care of them.

Wen Ran and Ivy were standing side by side in the southwest of the office. There was a spacious desk next to them with some tools on it.

Ivy didn't seem too satisfied with the position. When she took out her tablet computer and registered an account, she muttered in a low voice, complaining about the position as if it were a exile.

At that time, Wen Ran didn't realize that there were many levels of workstations, so she didn't understand why Ivy was so dissatisfied.

She even liked this position.

For example, there was a horizontal rectangular glass window from her position. She could see the lush branches outside. Occasionally, birds would stop here, and the branches would gently shake.

It was like a painting.

Wen Ran remembered the two landscape painting masters that Bai Weiliang knew.

The two people over sixty years old had once fought over whether or not someone at landscape painting was better.

One felt that landscape paintings were naturally focused on scenery.

However, the other person felt that people determined mountains and rivers and people judged the beauty of mountains and rivers. Thus, there should be someone who could feel it in the painting.

In the end, Bai Weiliang tried to smooth things over. He said that at such ages, they suddenly became stubborn at their age and insisted on fighting for the result.

Wen Ran was next to them at that time. When she saw this scene, she only felt that the saying "old children" really existed.

So, which was better?

When they saw Yan Wangshu enter the painting, even the birds on the branches immediately flapped their wings and flew away.

Wen Ran felt it was best if no one was around in the paintings.

Ivy was different from Wen Ran. She was knowledgeable and knew the basic working rules. She also wanted to go forward step by step in the company.

After lunch break, Ivy bought a cup of coffee for a senior. Not long after, she was called to the counter by that senior.

Ivy had been following them out for several days.

As for Wen Ran, no one had come to her except for a senior who sent her a pile of documents to get a head start on her first day at work, let alone arranging tasks.

Coupled with the remote position, Wen Ran felt that she had become entirely transparent to the Design Department.

Perhaps even if she skipped work one day, no one would notice.

Oh, no.

People needed to clock in for attendance.

On the weekend, Wen Ran and Zhai Xinyi talked about this matter.

Wen Ran couldn't hide her disappointment. Although her goal was the "Apollo Jewelry Competition," the Flower Filigree Incense Box, she still looked forward to working hard. She planned to work hard and learn much from it, but now...

She sighed. "Do you think I should buy cups of coffee for seniors, too?"

"It's been a week. Isn't it too late?" Zhai Xinyi laughed and said, "I think you have a good position as a transparent person. After all...your ambition is not here."

That's right.

At least she had some free time.

Zhai Xinyi added, "Didn't you say Yan Wangshu was petty? That's the safest way to go."

Wen Ran looked up at the beautiful face of Zhai Xinyi in the camera. She wanted to pinch it hard for her nonsense.

She did not say that Yan Wangshu was petty. She was referring to him being cautious.

There was still a big gap between these two words.

If it were heard by the person involved, she would probably be choked.

However, Zhai Xinyi was right about one thing. It was safer this way.

Wen Ran took a deep breath and said, "But I sit there for eight hours a day from nine to five. It's so boring. I even know when Yan Wangshu goes to work and gets off every day."

Speaking of this, Wen Ran couldn't help chuckling.

Initially, she feared Yan Wangshu would see her because of her guilty conscience. When he passed by the window, she always covered her face with the drawing board.

Later, she went to the corridor to investigate at lunch break. Although that corridor was a must to pass to the office of Yan Wangshu, the glass window was one-sided.

In other words, even if she spat on Yan Wangshu through the glass, Yan Wangshu would not know.

Zhai Xinyi asked, "What? You're still counting his commute?"

"He's five times late a week and leaves early three times."

Amused by her words, Zhai Xinyi chuckled and recalled her own experience. Pouting her lips, she complained, "My brother is asking me to work with the Marketing Department for twelve hours a day. You have no idea how I envy you."

Wen Ran said mischievously, "Compared to you, I'm still satisfied."

"Ranran," Zhai Xinyi suddenly called out seriously.

Wen Ran put down the pencil in her hand and looked up at the camera. "Ah?"

Zhai Xinyi clenched her fists and waved. "I'll hit you!"

Wen Ran pursed her lip and speechless.

"Well, don't show off."

"Hey, Ranran, are you drawing on weekends too? Aren't you going out to play?"

"I don't want to go out alone."

Zhai Xinyi sighed, "Wait for me. I'll come to you when I escape from my brother's clutches."

"Alright."

Two seconds later, Wen Ran suddenly exclaimed.

Startled, Zhai Xinyi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"I remember now." Wen Ran blinked. "Wu Yunshan, the temporary design director of our department. She was the bitch who stole your boyfriend two years ago!"

Zhai Xinyi didn't know what to say.
