Chuxia usually didn't chat much with Mr. S, only responding with a greeting if he sent her a "good morning" or "good night" message, and occasionally answering his inquiries about whether she had eaten or not, sometimes even asking him in return.
Their interactions were light and without pressure, and Ling Chuxia gradually felt that having such a friend wasn't bad at all, akin to the "gentlemanly friendship," pure and gentle like water.
Today, as work ended, Ling Chuxia was packing up her things when Manager Chen opened the office door and stepped out, walking up to everyone and clapping her hands.
Such a gesture was familiar to everyone; it either meant overtime work awaited or some social engagements.
Sure enough, Manager Chen scanned the crowd, cleared her throat, and began to speak slowly and clearly, "Today we have to discuss a collaboration project with President Hong from Huayuan Group, Ai Li, Shasha."
