Chapter 244: Watching Jiangmei in Spring Rain and Autumn Water

Was she so direct? She came over to greet He Kao and introduced herself as soon as she saw him, without any transition at all! I thought she wouldn't come back to work until after the Spring Festival, but now it's still half a month away, so how come she's already here?
How could Lao Qian be such a leader without anyone reminding me.

He Kao almost dropped his chopsticks, not because he was afraid but because he was very surprised. Before hearing the voice, he hadn't noticed anyone walking to the other side of the table. Although he didn't deliberately use his spiritual sense, it shouldn't have happened.

He still looked very calm. They were just elders of the clan hall. It was not like he had never seen them before. Not only did he know several of them, but they also often drank and chatted together!

When he looked up, the first thing he saw was a pair of hands. Those hands had just put down a plate, which was almost entirely filled with vegetarian dishes. However, Mei Guyu did not completely abstain from meat, as several of the dishes were mixed with vegetables.

The so-called vegetarian dishes with meat sides are also called casual vegetarian dishes, such as the water chestnuts in stir-fried water chestnuts with shredded pork and the beans in stewed pork ribs with beans.

What He Kao noticed wasn't the food, but her hands—a pair of nearly flawless hands. A question arises: What's the best length for a woman's nails, and what's the best proportion to her fingers? The answer is they don't need to be too long; just like hers, they're just right.

There is no decoration on the nails and no skin care products on the hands. She looks like a work of art, yet full of agility. Her fair skin reveals a good state of blood circulation.

Sliding from her hands to the front, she was standing, and from a normal angle, she could admire her figure. Estimated to be between 1.68 and 1.7 meters tall, her figure was slender and well-proportioned, seemingly graceful and graceful, but in fact, she was strong and muscular.

There's a stereotype that in the offices of large technology companies, programmers are all men wearing plaid shirts, while female employees wear business suits with white shirts underneath.

Stereotypes are often true; this is a probabilistic conclusion. He Kao was wearing a plaid tweed shirt with alternating dark and light grays, while Mei Guyu wore a small-lapeled white shirt underneath his silver-gray business suit.

She also wore an employee name tag, commonly known as a dog tag, on her chest, identifying her as the "Technical Manager" of the "Information Support Project Group." This was a department that had business connections with He Kao, and Yang Lingxi had also worked there for a while.

Although the so-called technical manager has the title of "manager", he is actually two levels lower than the current He Kao. He is at the normal level for a master's degree graduate who has just joined the company. After being converted to a regular employee, he will be at the P2 level.

When He Kao first joined the company, he was also at the P2 level, but now he is at the P4 level. In nearly two years, he has been promoted one level higher than normal, but his position has not changed.

The focus is not the sign but the place where the sign is hung. It is not exaggerated or cumbersome, but it is by no means poor and shallow. It reminds people of a couplet: "Rain covers the spring mountains and you hear wonderful music; wind blows the autumn water and you see the blue waves." In short, it is just right.

When I looked up and saw her face again, I felt like she had walked out of a painting in an art gallery. She wore the most ordinary modern professional attire, but she made it look like an ancient fairy hero.

Every beauties is different. Some of them will make people think of romantic action movies, where there is only action but no love; some of them will make people think of ancient costume fantasy movies, except that the fantasy heroes don't wear ancient costumes.

He Kao didn't know what was wrong with him, but he nodded calmly and said only one word: "Sit."

Mei Guyu just sat down like that. When He Kao came to his senses, he was stunned and felt that his tone just now was a bit like that of a leader.

After sitting down, they started eating. Mei Guyu came over to say hello, but at this moment he stopped chatting and just chewed slowly in silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Xiaomei, how old are you this year and which school did you graduate from?" He Kao spoke first, and the topic he talked about was the standard one among new colleagues in this situation.

Mei Guyu seemed to have a habit of not talking while eating. She put down her chopsticks and swallowed her food before answering, "I'm a year younger than you. I graduated from Xijing Jiaotong University with a master's degree in the same major as you."

This sounds like nothing wrong, but it doesn't sound like the first time meeting a new colleague.

He Kao was twenty-six years old, and Mei Guyu was actually a year younger than him. He hadn't been wrong to call her "Xiaomei" earlier. Actually, this was just a small talk. He really wanted to know Mei Guyu's employment information, which could be found at Lao Qian's.

He Kao: "How do you know what my major is?"

Mei Guyu looked up at him and unexpectedly sent a divine thought. The message was quite long, but the meaning was simple. She began by introducing herself frankly - she was Mei Guyu, the head of the Danding Sect.

Not only did she introduce the Shumen, the Zongfa Hall, and her own identity, she also attached a resume... If He Kao wanted to know anything, he didn't have to go to Lao Qian to ask for her employment information.

Today's masters of magic are not the ancients living in the mountains. Mei Guyu went to school and studied until he graduated with a master's degree. The reason he did not continue to study for a doctorate was probably because he went into seclusion in the Xianhu Cave.

After coming out of quarantine this time, I remembered that I had studied for so many years and it was time to put my knowledge into practice - such as finding a job, so I wanted to find a place to work.

She happened to hear about what had happened in Qiyuan over the past year, as well as Jiang Daozhen's experience, and made a decision...

This explanation wasn't quite the same as what He Kao had originally heard, but it wasn't entirely false. There were many reasons for working, and wanting to avoid wasting years of study was certainly one. However, the idiom "applying what you've learned" felt a bit absurd when applied to a sorcerer.

Mei Guyu was known as the Plum Blossom Fairy. She also had another nickname, the Plum Sword Fairy. She was said to be extremely skilled in wielding a sword and a master swordsman. After so many years of swordsmanship, did she have to put it to use and go find some people to kill?

But Mei Guyu did not hide the reason for choosing this company. She said, "There may be opportunities in turbulent places," and cited the examples of Jiang Daozhen, Lin Qingshuang, Qian Guran, and Meng Ya.

She only mentioned the names of these people without elaborating. But He Kao already understood, or thought he understood.

Jiang Daozhen goes without saying. Lin Qingshuang remained stuck at the third level of perfection for decades, only breaking through to the fourth level after meeting He Kao in Qiyuan. Qian Guran's situation was somewhat different from Lin Qingshuang's, but he also became a high-level sorcerer in this context.

The examples of these three people would be fine, but Elder Mei even specifically mentioned Meng Ya, a little-known person, and it was obvious that he had already understood the situation in detail.

But she also emphasized that this was not, and should not be, viewed as a tool for chance. If one had this mindset, there would be no reward… As for why, even with divine consciousness, it was difficult to express clearly.

He Kao himself should not think of himself as such a tool, and he cannot be such a tool. In fact, many people who meet him will not have a good ending, and their families may even be destroyed.

The so-called chance is mysterious and difficult to explain, and its meaning is different for everyone. It cannot be forced, let alone copied from experience. Mei Guyu finally told He Kao not to worry about it or do anything special.

What she should do specifically is up to her, not He Kao. She really is just here to work, so He Kao can just treat her as a colleague...

This elder was quite straightforward. Since he had said that, He Kao simply tried to keep a calm mind. He raised his hand and called out to someone not far away, "Mr. Qian, what are you standing there for? Come and sit down!"

If he hadn't addressed him as Mr. Qian, I would have thought he was greeting Xiao Qian, as if he was coming from the group headquarters to inspect.

Qian Guran came to the staff cafeteria to eat at noon, and of course he saw Mei Guyu holding the tray and sitting directly opposite He Kao.

Old Qian was pretending to serve food there, his movements were very slow and he hadn't found a place to sit down yet. He acted approachable, smiling and nodding in response to colleagues who greeted him, but he was always paying attention to what was happening on He Kao's side.

Hearing the greeting, he bravely came over with the food tray and said with a smile, "Xiaomei, you already know He Kao?" Before his butt even touched the chair, he stood up again, "You guys don't have soup? I'll go get it..."

Mr. Qian brought three more bowls of soup on a tray, placing one in front of each person before resuming his seat next to He Kao. He knew why He Kao suddenly called him; he must have been angry, blaming him for not informing him in advance.

But Lao Qian also had his difficulties. Usually, the spring recruitment list would be finalized before the Spring Festival, but new employees basically reported in after the Spring Festival. But Mei Guyu did not play by the rules and asked to come to work before the Spring Festival. How could he refuse?

Mei Guyu reported in yesterday. As soon as they met, she told Lao Qian to treat herself as an ordinary new employee and not to mention other situations to anyone, as she would say what needed to be said herself.

The so-called "anyone" of course includes He Kao. This is the order of the elders of the clan hall.

Seeing Old Qian sitting down, Mei Guyu said naturally: "I have already explained the situation to He Kao. We will be colleagues from now on. Mr. Qian doesn't have to worry about anything else."

Qian Guran: "That's right, colleagues! We should care about each other and help each other, whether it's work or life. If you have any difficulties, just speak up and don't be shy."

Mei Guyu: "I will. I will do what normal colleagues do."

Qian Guran: "Colleagues are different. Some have good relationships, while others don't. As long as personal relationships don't affect work, it's fine. I hope you can adapt here."

Mei Guyu: "It's not hard to adapt. It's not like I can't quit if things really don't work out."

It seemed inappropriate to speak like that in the workplace, especially in front of a leader when just starting out. Was this the tone and attitude of an ordinary employee? But He Kao thought again, there was no rule that employees couldn't speak like that.

As they talked, many colleagues around them glanced over. Suddenly, a new colleague with such outstanding appearance and temperament would definitely attract attention.

Gao Xue'e was sitting in the corner of the restaurant with several female colleagues. She kept looking over here and asking others who the girl sitting opposite He Kao was and where she came from.
But the people who were closest to them had already left. Some who had been sitting nearby had gotten up to order more food, taking the opportunity to move to a seat further away. Even Fatty Huang, who always liked to sit next to He Kao, didn't come over today.
