Chapter 12
(translated by lidge and edited by peanuts)
The tourists walk behind the tourism guide.
Shan Shan wants to stick to Big Boss to redeem herself, but Big Boss is too charismatic, after a while everyone pushes forward causing Shan Shan to fall back.
Shan Shan can only hold the bag and walk with Ah May behind everyone, Ah May looks at the crowd around Feng Teng: “Shan Shan, your temper is really good.”
“Ah? Really?” Shan Shan replies modestly in embarrassnt, she thinks Ah May is admiring her.
Ah May says: “In the morning when you hadn’t co yet, soone from Human Resources wanted to sit next to the President.”
“Who?” Which colleague had been so brave and kind-hearted, sacrificing herself for justice?
“There, that girl in red.” Ah May points to an employee standing near Feng Teng. “Do you know what the President said?”
“What?”
“He didn’t bother to glance at her and said, ‘There’s no other seat?’ Ha ha!”
= =
That is truly Big Boss’s style.
Shan Shan carefully looks at the girl, shakes her head, saying scornfully: “She’s too thin!”
Big Boss needs soone strong like her who can handle the heavy responsibilities of being near him!
After walking a few minutes, everyone sits in a boat to go to Xiandao, also known as “Turtle Mountain,” it is the main destination for today. On the island, it is mainly walking around to look at tourist attractions, Shan Shan is a bit hungry, her eyes light up zeroing in on the bag in her hands.
Big Boss’s bag should have a lot of delicious food, would he know if she secretly steals a little?
Shan Shan hesitates whether she should open the bag, Feng Teng suddenly turns around from the front.
“Shan Shan, co here.”
Busy guessing what is in the bag, Shan Shan is startled, quickly puts her hands down to innocently look at him.
Huh, Big Boss called her? He is not angry anymore? Does this an she can eat the food in the bag?
Shan Shan cheerfully runs up, not noticing that Feng Teng had called her ‘Shan Shan.’
“President!”
Let’s eat lunch!
Shan Shan’s eyes light up.
Feng Teng shudders under her gaze, suddenly feeling he has beco sothing like grilled ribs, shaking off the feeling he points at a structure before them: “Go there and ask for your fortune.”
Shan Shan follows the direction of his hand, it is a Yue Lao temple, many unmarried employees are inside for a fortune reading, Shan Shan faintly hears the priests say sothing like intepreting each bamboo fortune costs 50 yuans, etc etc ……
So Shan Shan imdiately shakes her head.
“President, I don’t need to do that.”
Shan Shan speaks of her ambition: “I want to focus on my career, will not consider marriage.”
Only dummies ask for a fortune reading, each one costs 50 yuans! Why do they not just rob us! And those priests are all liars, they all have a wife.
And ……
She does not have any money = =
She had not planned to go on the trip, when leaving the house she only grabbed a few coins for the bus, where can she get money to pay for a fortune reading?
Feng Teng looks at her, takes out his wallet and hands her 50 yuans.
“Go ask for a fortune.”
Shan Shan accepts the money, hesitates: “President, it’s your money, I’m going to ask for a fortune, so it counts as yours or mine?”
The corners of Feng Teng’s lips curve upward slightly in amusent: “It’s ours.”
“Uh ……”
Can it be like that?
Shan Shan walks into the temple in confusion, the employees see Feng Teng and Shan Shan, all step back to allow Shan Shan to try first.
Shan Shan kneels on the futon, holds the bamboo container and shakes two tis, a bamboo stick falls out.
Feng Teng picks it up and looks at it: “The first fortune.”
At the priest’s table, the priest reviews the book and nods in satisfaction: “A wonderful fortune, this fortune is very good, it says – –Fair! Fair! The fish hawks lovebirds are singing on the sandbar in the river. A gentle and graceful lady, a fine match for a gentleman [Note: Chinese text –– 关关雎鸠，在河之洲，窈窕淑女，君子好逑]. Miss, this ans your fated husband has appeared.”
The employees surrounding them congratulate Xue Shan Shan.
A brief smile appears on Feng Teng’s smile, although brief but enough for the smart employees to see it, understanding that they are complinting the right person, the congratulations pour in harder.
In the midst of the loud commotion, Xue Shan Shan is heard to say happily: “This is a good fortune, this is the first ti soone tells I’m a gentle and graceful lady.”
Everyone suddenly falls quiet in the Yue Lao temple, Feng Teng glances at Xue Shan Shan then walks out without looking back.
Walking out of Yue Lao temple, Shan Shan feels colleagues looking at her a bit strangely.
Did she say sothing wrong? She had not been joking = =, she had not done it intentionally but out of panic. The atmosphere had been so weird, the congratulations put Big Boss and her as a couple, she could not help but panic ……
Her guilty conscience probably had made her jumpy, although she had not ant to think that, just dreamt it ……
Well……..
The picnic is near a lake, Shan Shan gnaws on the dry bread Ah May has given in relief, looks at Lake Tai rippled by winds and cries. The tears fall into the lake, creating many small ripples that break apart the cold loneliness.
Ah, actually, what had fallen had not been tears but breadcrumbs …… but the effect is the sa, very bleak, what can be bleaker than eating dry bread when other people eat at?
Ah May has gone crazy from dieting, knowing it is a trip but not bringing anything eatable ……
Shan Shan secretly peeks at Big Boss’s face, quietly sits sowhere far away, pinching off breadcrumbs to feed the fish: “Co here, co here, let’s suffer together, we can eat bread together.”
Many colorful fish swim up to fight over the breadcrumbs, red and white patterns flash in the water, very pretty, Shan Shan feels a sense of accomplishnt. Smiling happily while feeding the fish, suddenly they wiggle their tails and swim to the left ….. Shan Shan turns and sees Big Boss also feeding the fish.
!!!
He even wants to fight with her over feeding fish!
Too outrageous!
What ungrateful, unscrupulous fish! Rember who fed you first!
Shan Shan gnaws the dry bread in loneliness, silently declares to the lake a hundred tis, a hundred tis: “This cannot continue, please heaven above, let this end quickly!”
Obviously the heaven ignores ordinary people like her, after the trip Shan Shan continues her sad existence.
The trip is near the end of the year, the Finance departnt has a lot to do, including having to deal with accountants, Shan Shan is so busy that her feet do not even touch the ground, working overti to 10 o’clock several nights.
But that is envied by those in the Accounting departnt, who say they work to 3 o’clock in the morning.
Earning money is very hard!
Even that busy, she still goes to the President’s office every day at noon to be tortured, Shan Shan thinks this is truly tragic. Big Boss’s face is always black, like she is withholding his salary.
So under both ntal and physical torture, Xu Shan Shan develops a glorious cold.
At first Shan Shan thinks nothing of it, it is just a cold, take dicine for seven days and it will go away, just drink a lot of hot water. But the cold is severe this ti, even the power of hot water is not effective.
That morning waking up, Shan Shan feels bursts of dizziness, asking for ti off is impossible, there is a lot of work to do. She takes a few pills and goes to work, at noon she goes to the President’s office for lunch, when lunch is done she begins studying for the CPA exam.
Shan Shan feels her head growing too dizzy, her eyelids continue to collapse. Peeking at Big Boss out of the corner of her eyes, he is working diligently, not looking at her, it seems he is also very busy lately ……
Closing her eyes briefly is not a problem, right?
Shan Shan lightly leans her head back on the soft sofa cushion, sleepily closes her eyes and then ……
She does not know how much ti has passed but hazily hears so voices.
“…… A little fever ……” a strange voice says.
“Is an IV necessary?”
No IV! Using IV for a little cold is silly, and also, an IV costs several hundred yuans ……
“Not at this ti, taking dicine and resting are enough for now.”
Oh, this stranger is a good person ……
Mutterings mutterings, the voices gradually decrease, followed by a door slamming ……
Ah ……
The world is quiet again ~ ~ ~ let’s continue to sleep ^_^
Shan Shan wakes up.
She sits up, her head still a little dizzy, but she feels much better than before.
Turning her head, she finds herself still in the President’s office, probably she has not slept long …… but why is there a screen in front of the sofa? There are faint voices as Feng Teng talks to soone, the sounds are very light, nothing can be heard, also ……
Shan Shan touches the thick blanket over herself!
