Chapter 170 Workplace Life
"Dr. Bai, I admit I've made a mistake this time, but why do you expect a next time? Do you really think you can treat me like an animal?"

“My time is very valuable. You have no idea how many people want to invite me to participate in seminars and exchange academic experiences.”

She pointed to a small stool, on which sat the set of clothes that Zhuo Tong had been stripped of.

"Remember to get dressed. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he grabbed his things and rushed out the door, looking like he was really in a hurry.

"If you're in a hurry, then don't spend three whole hours applying the medicine, sigh..."

Zhuo Tong sighed and lay back down on the examination bed.

He has to wait for the aloe vera gel on his skin to harden before he can get dressed, otherwise he'll be laughed at if he wears it out in public.

You're such a grown-up, and you still wet your pants? Aren't you ashamed?

The waiting time was too boring, so Zhuo Tong found his phone on Bai Wei's desk.

As expected, the screen was full of missed calls and unread messages.

It's basically just two people: assistant Qi Shuangxue and Han Qi. She posts about 80-90% of the messages.

[Han Qi: Dude, our badminton club activity is over, and the venue is all cleaned up.]

[Han Qi: Where are you now? I'll go for a walk around the campus with you. It's changed a lot, I'm afraid you'll get lost.]

[Han Qi: Why aren't you replying to my messages? Or do you want to shop alone? Okay then, I'll contact you again when we're eating.]

[Han Qi: I'm hungry! I want to eat!]

[Han Qi: Where are you? I'll treat you to dinner.]

[Han Qi: Hehe, I almost forgot that everything in the cafeteria is free today, but it's on me.]

Looking at the enthusiastic Han Qi, Zhuo Tong smiled, feeling completely healed.

The gloom that had formed in his heart because of Bai Wei's cruelty just now also dissipated.

So I quickly replied:
[Me: Sorry, my phone died, but I just found a place to charge it.]

The message had barely been sent, and Zhuo Tong hadn't even had a chance to exit the chat to check other messages, when Han Qi immediately replied:
[Han Qi: It's okay, it's okay, I've been waiting. Let's go eat.]

Me: Okay, where are you?

Han Qi: [Location Sharing]

Me: Wait for me a moment.

Zhuo Tong found a tissue on Bai Wei's desk, wiped off the remaining aloe vera gel, threw it into the trash can, and put on his pants.

However, he still underestimated Bai Wei's ruthlessness.

The moment the pants touched the previously inflamed and swollen area, a piercing pain shot through me.

With each step, the fabric of the clothes rubbed against the area, causing the person to wince in pain.

After a period of adjustment, he was able to grit his teeth and persevere, limping out of the clinic.

He didn't stop working on the way; while traveling, he also kept up with other news.

Several of the messages from Qi Shuangxue were mostly work progress reports.

She has already spoken with Wang Wei and Liang Tao and arranged a time and place for their meeting tonight.

After attending the school's departmental dinner, I can immediately switch to a private room and continue discussing business, seamlessly transitioning between the two.

"It's great to have your own space; it makes everything so convenient."

In addition, there was even news from Wang Ying.

However, the message had nothing to do with Zhuo Tong and Wang Ying; it was about Lin Yuxuan.

[Wang Ying: Starting yesterday, I reminded everyone else not to give Lin Yuxuan any special treatment.] [Wang Ying: Treat her like an ordinary employee; it's fine to be a little more demanding of her.]

[Wang Ying: I plan to have other employees deliberately target and pressure her, but I don't know if you can accept that.]

[Me: No problem, the stricter the better. She needs to understand that this society isn't kindergarten.]

[Me: No one has unlimited patience and kindness towards others, nor will they play house with you.]

Wang Ying: Understood.

The remaining messages are scattered and mostly from classmates I met in college, sent in groups to celebrate the anniversary of the university.

There were also some closer friends like Zhou Mingyuan who sent messages to congratulate him after learning that he had graduated from Shenzhen University.

Overall, there's not much substance to it, and not replying at all is perfectly fine.

After processing all the messages, Zhuo Tong couldn't help but think of Lin Yuxuan, that seemingly frail little girl.

Having always been protected in an ivory tower by her father, she was suddenly dragged into the treacherous mire of the real world.

Such a huge gap is not something everyone can adapt to immediately, or rather, almost no one can face it calmly.

Because of my past relationship with Uncle Lin, I'm helping him take care of his daughter and giving her some breathing room. I've done my best to be kind and considerate.

What she does next depends on her choices.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Tong opened the system panel, where Lin Yuxuan's unique mission was displayed:
[Her True Feelings (Second Stage): Simply understanding her true feelings isn't enough; you need to find a way to win her over, by any means necessary.]

"Regardless of the means... there really is one method that's most suitable for her."

As soon as Zhuo Tong rushed out of the building, a sparrow that was walking on the ground was startled and immediately spread its wings and flew away.

……

Office on the first floor of the Wangting Building.

After learning that Lin Yuxuan was a senior majoring in Chinese Language and Literature, Wang Ying arranged an office job for her.

At first, there was basically no work involved; it mainly involved helping to write promotional copy and WeChat official account articles.

A more complex task involves writing, formatting, and proofreading internal company documents.

Overall, it wasn't too difficult, and with Wang Ying's special consideration—saying that she was someone recommended by Zhuo Tong—no one dared to give her too much work.

But after Zhuo Tong gave his instructions, this preferential treatment vanished instantly.

As a new intern, of course she had to do all the work.

Anyway, they were all alone and the higher-ups had said that anyone who dared to give preferential treatment or outwardly comply but inwardly defy them would be fired.

As a result, all sorts of miscellaneous tasks fell to Lin Yuxuan.

Moreover, she was too weak-willed, didn't know how to refuse, and was introverted, so she dared not protest and could only silently accept it.

"Xiao Lin, this month's salary will be paid soon. I'll send you the Excel spreadsheet. Remember to check it carefully and then print out your payslip."

"it is good."

"Xiaolin, where's the notice I asked you to revise yesterday? Why hasn't it been printed yet? Didn't I say it was supposed to be posted today?"

"I'm sorry, team leader, I..."

"If 'sorry' was enough, what would be the point of having you? Are you paid to listen to your apologies?"

"Sorry……"

"Sorry, hey! What are you standing there for? Get back to work!"
