After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

Chapter 2: Social Animal Xiao Su, Traveling Online

Even though I had a bad sleep last night, I still had to go to work.

Early in the morning, Su Wanning simply covered her dark circles with concealer and foundation and set out from her small rental apartment to go to work. The commute was so long that it seemed as if she had to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures every day. Even though she left home very early, she still had to continue her Japanese drama run after getting off the subway. Fortunately, she managed to punch in successfully when there was only one minute left before work.

"Isn't she here yet?" Before Su Wanning walked to her seat, she saw a senior in the department holding a stack of documents, standing in front of her workstation, impatiently asking the employee next to her about her situation.

Just as Su Wan Ning was about to approach and talk, the senior spread his hands and complained in a coquettish and sarcastic voice: "The new girls who graduated this year are not only unsophisticated, but also have a bad work attitude, not as good as our batch of people who entered the company. And, why did you name yourself Wan Ning? You thought you were here to act in an idol drama. At least you should have an English name."

The people around her didn't seem to want to talk to her. After all, even if they wanted to gossip or say bad things about others, they would naturally discuss it in private. Who would be stupid enough to say it in public? So they changed the subject and asked, "Sister Amy, what do you want to talk to Xiao Su about?"

Amy glanced at the file in her hand proudly. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Su Wanning had already sat down at her workstation. She was not worried at all whether she had heard her harsh words just now. She just changed her tone and said, "Oh, Xiao Su, you came at the right time. This is the file that our client Mr. Jiang needs. I stayed up all night yesterday to sort it out. But now I have another case to follow up, so please send it over."

If Su Wan Ning hadn't seen the general manager passing by to get water, she would have really believed what Amy said. In fact, although she was a senior, her rank was no different from hers. It was just because she joined the company earlier, so she could put on airs and bluff in front of the new graduates every year.

Snapped--

Before Su Wan Ning could answer, Amy threw all the documents in front of her without giving any explanation. Glancing at the name of the client company on the document: X Technology Co., Ltd., Wan Ning remembered that Amy had said in the company a few days ago: "Have you heard? CEO Jiang of X Technology is young and promising. He is not only handsome but also knowledgeable. He is exactly my ideal type. I will be responsible for this case to the end. You can't snatch it from me."

Wan Ning can still remember how proud she was at that time, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Did you hear that? I've sent the address to your phone."

"Sister Amy, can you send express delivery within the city?" She just finished performing a play called "Journey to the West" and really didn't want to go out now. Besides, the company invited a very famous guest in the industry to give a speech today, and she really wanted to stay and participate.

"No." Amy refused bluntly, "This client is very important. You need to meet important clients more often so that they will trust you. Isn't it good to give you such an important opportunity to get to know them?"

"But, the speech this afternoon..."

Before he could finish his words, Amy rolled her eyes and interrupted him. She said impatiently, "You knew there were guests coming to give a speech, but you still dressed so casually. Look at everyone in the company who is dressed elegantly. This is a chance for you to go out and avoid making a fool of yourself. Why are you so ungrateful and still talking so much?"

After that, Amy went straight back to her workstation, took out a mirror and put on some lipstick. Su Wanning looked down at her clothes, then turned to look at other colleagues. Sure enough, although not everyone was dressed formally, they were indeed much more sophisticated than she was. She felt a little aggrieved, because the company had not informed her in advance that she had to dress formally today, and because she was moving, she packed her only formal suit into the box; she was also a little angry, angry that she hadn't thought of it in advance.

The area around the workstation had returned to silence. Su Wanning, who had not yet cooled down, picked up the documents and walked out of the company in anger and helplessness. She took out her mobile phone navigation and found that it would take more than two hours to get to the client's company. Amy did not mention reimbursement, and it seemed that she had to pay for the trip herself. She was poor and did not want to take out a loan to work, so the only transportation she could choose was the subway.

Although things haven't been going particularly well since graduation, today can be considered the most unlucky day ever. After finally getting to the client's company, I learned from the front desk that Boss Jiang had already returned to his home in a nearby city. At this time, Amy sent another message emphasizing that this document must be handed over to Boss Jiang in person.

One forty-five.

The afternoon shift had already started for fifteen minutes, and she estimated that the whole day would be spent on this meaningless thing; she took out her phone to look at the photos of the speech posted in the company group, and then bought herself a high-speed rail ticket to a nearby city; she finally caught up with the high-speed train, but on the train she found that she had forgotten to return the power bank she borrowed from the front desk. She had used her phone for three years and it could no longer hold much power, so she had to buy another power bank before she changed her phone.

"You left your hometown just to live like this in a big city?"

Su Wanning was too busy to think about the answer, and after wandering around, she finally arrived at Boss Jiang's door.

He stood up, took a deep breath, tidied his messy bangs, and forced a professional smile. After doing all this, he rang the doorbell.

Hearing someone opening the door, Su Wanning took a half step back. As the door opened, two slender legs appeared in front of her. Looking up along the two long legs, she gradually saw: tight forearms, thin but muscular arms. He was wearing a white T-shirt, which set off his solid chest and handsome and delicate face.

Clean and distant, this was Su Wanning's first impression of him. Boss Jiang should not be very old, at least they looked about the same age. However, his fair skin, simple attire and just the right amount of relaxation were completely different from her own appearance of being battered six months after graduation. She immediately understood why Amy had to personally handle all matters with Mr. Jiang before, and also felt a bit of useless embarrassment.

"Su Wanning," the gentleman took the business card handed over with his slender white fingers and looked at the name on it carefully. Then Boss Jiang opened the door and stepped aside to invite her in.

This was the first time she felt respected by the client after she started working. He was the kind of high-quality person that she might not meet even after working in the workplace for many years. In other words, he was a "diamond bachelor". No wonder Amy had to do everything for this client herself before. This kind of politeness and respect really made people imagine things.

Boss Jiang's home is simply decorated. The most eye-catching thing is the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Because the floor is high, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city as soon as you enter the door. Whether it is the sunrise every day, the last sunset, or the prosperity of the city and all kinds of fireworks, they are all played out in this floor-to-ceiling window.

"Please take a seat"

Under the guidance of Boss Jiang, Le Yan walked to the sofa facing the French window and sat down awkwardly. She handed over the documents with both hands and imitated the words of her seniors in the workplace: "Boss Jiang, this is the document you need, please check it. If there is anything that needs to be modified or supplemented, you can tell me directly or contact Sister Amy."

"Sister Amy?" Boss Jiang, who was pouring coffee for Wan Ning, was a little confused, but soon returned to normal, "Miss Su, you're welcome. You can call me Jiang Zhifan. Let me take a look at this document first. Miss Su, please sit back and have a cup of coffee."

Su Wan Ning nodded, glanced at the time and began to worry about missing the train tonight, and secretly looked around the furnishings in the house. Although Boss Jiang's home has few furniture and the decoration is relatively simple, everything has an expensive temperament that mortals should not approach. Especially near the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a black leather sofa, tall like a natural sculpture. I think Boss Jiang must have sat here countless late nights to overlook the city and enjoy the lights of thousands of homes.

Su Wan Ning came back to her senses, took two sips of the coffee on the table, and took advantage of the coffee cup to sneak a peek at Boss Jiang who was flipping through the documents. Although he was reading carefully, he was also very fast, and his slender fingers kept turning the next page. It was strange, they could have checked the terms of the documents remotely through an online meeting or phone call, or sent the electronic files first, why did they have to send them over at this stage?

Beep, beep—, the phone in my pants pocket suddenly vibrated non-stop. I guess the company's speech event has ended, and the company's group is taking pictures! Before, every time the company's activities ended, it was also time for colleagues to take pictures. If each department took a group photo, it would be posted to the group. Although these photos have neither composition nor beauty, every time I can only stand on the edge because of my new status, and my face is distorted by the wide-angle lens. But the guest who came to give a speech this time is an idol in my industry after all. If I can take a group photo, at least I will have one more thing to brag about during the interview.

I took out my phone with a little disappointment. When I opened the work group, there were already 99+ messages. I clicked on it and saw a screen full of emoticons. The mood of gossip took over instantly. I clicked on the message and it automatically popped up the message of the culprit at the top. It was sent by my sister Amy. It was a voice message converted into text, which said: "You don't know, I thought that Mr. Jiang was a good option, but it turned out to be a show-off. I was so busy running around for him and creating opportunities to get along with him."

Then the next voice message was automatically converted into text: "I'm so annoyed. Next time I find a good target, I must investigate it thoroughly. I won't deliver the documents this time. I found a 'fool' in the company to do it. I'm smart, right?"

That's right, Su Wan Ning was the fool. She raised her head slightly and looked at the "show-off" in front of her who shared the same fate with her, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. But such an excellent person would also be calculated and badmouthed by others, so why should she care?

"Ms. Su, I've read this file, and it contains..." Boss Jiang's sudden words startled Wan Ning who was concentrating on reading the messages. The moment she looked up, her finger accidentally clicked on the next voice message and started playing it.

"What a pity! That boss Jiang is really handsome. I hate him so much." Amy's coquettish voice came from Su Wanning's phone. Her face flushed as she pressed the lock screen button of her phone again and again in panic. Then she forced a smile and looked at Mr. Jiang pretending to be calm.

Jiang Zhifan pursed his lips subconsciously, pointed at his phone with a blank expression and asked, "Is she talking about me?"

Shaking her head fiercely, Su Wanning stood up and asked to use the restroom. Following Jiang Zhifan's instructions, she successfully came to the restroom which was much larger than the room she was currently renting.

"Boss Jiang is not only good-looking, but also quite gentlemanly." Su Wanning stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, thinking deeply, greedily enjoying her moment of solitude. She didn't really want to go to the bathroom, she just wanted to come here to use cold water to sober herself up - this was a habit she had developed since junior high school. The moment her fingers touched the trickle of water flowing from the faucet, the coolness instantly spread throughout her body like water ripples, and her face, which had turned red due to embarrassment, was relieved.

After adjusting her mood, Su Wanning lowered her head to turn off the faucet, and unexpectedly saw the other half of her butterfly jade pendant in a beautifully opened box beside the wide sink. The broken jade pendant lay quietly in the box. Su Wanning was a little excited and worried that she had made a mistake, so she didn't dare to touch other people's things easily. So she hurriedly took out her half of the butterfly jade pendant from her body and carefully compared it through the box. Every crack seemed so tight, and the hole in the middle of the pieced-together jade pendant also became complete.

At the moment when Wan Ning was in a trance, the jade pendant in her hand was no longer under her control. It was pulled away from her hand by some force and then lifted up into the air. The half of the jade pendant in the box also floated in the air. At the same time, a light blue silk-like beam of light flowed out of the butterfly jade pendant like a spring. The color was very light at first, but gradually became shining.

Su Wanning couldn't believe what she saw, but when she tried to open the door to seek Jiang Zhifan's help, her limbs were unable to move; she wanted to shout loudly, but no sound came out of her throat.

In a flash, the two halves of the jade pendant spun rapidly in the air, and the original single blue light turned into a colorful halo. Then the color that the eyes could see became less and less, and finally it became a white that could not be seen directly. Helpless tears slowly slid down from the corners of Wan Ning's eyes, and her eyelids gradually became heavy.

bang——

The bathroom door was opened by Jiang Zhifan from the outside. Panic and disbelief flashed across his eyes. He quickly realized what had happened and decisively reached out to grab Wan Ning.

Unfortunately, the moment her hands clenched, Su Wanning was completely plunged into endless desolation.
