After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor Chapter 726 - 707: I’m Waiting for You Downstairs

After Cheng Xiao finished speaking, she took her tray and left, leaving behind a bewildered Lou Xi and an even more embarrassed Mai Zi.

After two seconds of daze, Mai Zi sighed lightly and said, "I wasn’t trying to flatter you. I just thought we’re about the sa age, and since you’ve just joined the hotel, we surely have common topics. I didn’t expect Cheng Xiao to overthink it. She just went through a breakup; her boyfriend was her boss and got promoted by a colleague’s flattery, so..."

So Mai Zi, who had a suspicion of bootlicking, was treated coldly.

After listening to Mai Zi’s words, Lou Xi pulled out a smile and then said, "It’s no big deal, we’re all colleagues. Besides, maybe you’ll get promoted in the future, and I’m just a newbie, I’ll be the one clinging to your leg!"

Lou Xi cleverly resolved the awkwardness with her words and took her tray to get food with Mai Zi at the buffet.

However, while Mai Zi was selecting food, Lou Xi had already gone to the cashier to pay for her lunch with cash, which was much more expensive than using the al voucher on her work ID. Yet Lou Xi felt a sense of peace and contentnt.

When Mai Zi ca to her senses, she realized Lou Xi had already paid.

When Lou Xi carried her tray to the dining area, she noticed there was only one seat left with their sales team’s batchmates. If Lou Xi sat down, Mai Zi wouldn’t have a place to sit later.

After contemplating, Lou Xi sat at another table, and even deliberately took two pairs of chopsticks, waiting for Mai Zi to join her.

But Lou Xi watched as Mai Zi naturally sat at the single available seat and ate with the sales team employees.

Lou Xi’s heart skipped a beat, looking at the extra pair of chopsticks on the table, feeling a little at a loss and awkward.

Actually, back in school, Lou Xi often ate alone and didn’t feel awkward in the cafeteria. But now, looking at the two pairs of chopsticks on the table, she felt unexpectedly unprepared.

She could only lower her head and eat quickly to finish lunch.

...

In the afternoon, Lou Xi continued to battle with thousands of VIP client records, and when she looked up again, she found it was already getting dark outside.

The phone on the table rang, Lou Xi glanced at it and saw a WeChat ssage from Qin Mobai.

Young Master Qin: It’s ti to leave work, I’m waiting for you downstairs.

Lou Xi checked the ti, and it really was the end of her work hours. But when she glanced into the office, everyone seed to have no intention of leaving yet and were busy with their own tasks.

Lou Xi replied to Qin Mobai: No one in the office has left yet, it wouldn’t be good for to be the first, right...

Young Master Qin: Only those lacking in ability need to work overti.

Qin Mobai’s words were spot on; if one could solve issues during work hours, then there’s no need to work overti!

But Lou Xi looked at the folders on her computer screen, with hundreds of records still unprocessed...

She was indeed the one... lacking ability.

Lou Xi: I haven’t finished my work yet.

Young Master Qin: How much more ti do you need?

Lou Xi: Estimate... quite a while.

Young Master Qin: Do it tomorrow, co downstairs now.

Qin Mobai certainly speaks with action.

But Lou Xi estimated that even if she worked overti, she couldn’t finish the remaining hundreds of records, and Allen said these records were only needed in a week, so...

Ti to clock out!

Thinking of this, Lou Xi started packing her things and was the first to leave the office.

She definitely felt those dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her from behind!
