"He...is THE MANAGER?" Liu Rushi was so much in disbelief that she didn't realize that she had spoken way too loud. All eyes fell on her.
"Yes. You are right, Miss Liu. He is the new manager." Her Dad said looking at his daughter's unbelievable expressions. "Please introduce yourself!" He stepped to the side and made Ji Min Jun stand in the center.
Ji Min Jun introduced himself. "Hello everyone! I will be your new manager starting from today. My name is Ji Min Jun. Please take good care of me. Thank you!" He quickly finished his speech with a big bow.
With a smile, he looked in Liu Rushi's direction, she was still shocked and he stepped back to his actual position.
Liu Jianguo then stepped at the center again and said "Alright everyone. There is a big news for you all!" He announced another news for the employees.
At this time moment, Liu Rushi's heart beat faster. 'Is he going to say about the manager's assistant? Is he gonna say my name?'
"Mr. Ji here told me that he will appoint his assistant by himself after he gets to know all of you, so everyone work harder and impress Mr. Ji; if you want to be his assistant! That is it for today. Do well." Liu Jianguo finished off his speech and patted on Ji Min Jun's back. "I hope you do well, Mr. Ji. Have a good day!" Liu Jianguo said to Ji Min Jun and went out of the department.
Hearing this news Liu Rushi felt displeased. 'He will choose the assistant by himself... as if! Heck, I don't want to be his assistant at all.' She sat on the chair uninterested and continued her work. She wished that she had not come to work today.
An hour passed and there was nothing going on. Liu Rushi was busy in doing her work and so were the employees. However, a certain man stood in his room staring at Liu Rushi through the window shutter.
Ji Min Jun saw Liu Rushi doing her work lazily. He lifted the corners of his mouth upwards in an unreadable smile. 'It feels good to see you from up close, RuRu.'
Like always, Liu Rushi was the one to leave the office late. She had to save all her work and it was taking some time to be saved. So, she had gone to the kitchen to make some coffee. She came out of the kitchen holding a cup of warm coffee in her hands. And suddenly, the lights went out.
The whole department became pitch-black and she could not see anything. She widened her eyes and made her way but she stumbled with something hard. "OUCH! AHH!!! IT HURTS!!" She screamed as the coffee spilled on her hand. The cup fell from her hand and broke into pieces. She couldn't see anything now. It was dark, really dark.
She shook her hand to ease the pain and searched for her phone in her pocket. Too bad, she had left it on the table. 'Why did I just keep it on the table?' She asked to herself and made her way to somewhere where she didn't even know. She just walked touching the desks with her hands.
Then, she heard the sound of a door open and close. She stood where she was and asked with a frightened voice "Wh...Who...Who is there?" She asked but she didn't get any response.
She just heard the sound of footsteps coming closer.
As the steps came more close, she started to take steps back. With each step coming closer, she took a step back.
She again asked afraid "Tell me. Who is there? You are scaring me." She took another step back and her back collided with something hard. She felt it with her hands and it was the corner of a table.
Realizing that it was a table, Liu Rushi spread her hands on that table to find something. Her hands touched a typical keychain and she immediately took it in her hands. It was her phone. She had always attached a keychain to her phone.
She unlocked her phone and switched on the flashlight. She put the flashlight in her front and she looked at the person in front of him. "Lei Qingshan? Why are you here?"
Everyone left work one by one and like that Ji Min Jun also left the office. He walked to the parking lot and sat in his Blue Audi.
Since, he and Liu Rushi were acquainted from yesterday, he thought that he would wait at the entrance for her. And so, he just sat in his car waiting for her. He looked at Liu Rushi's floor through the car window.
It was taking long for her to come out, so he just removed his mask to breathe properly. 'Once she comes I will put this mask back again. Ahh, man this mask really is making me to difficult to breathe.' Lei Qingshan said as he took deep breaths.
To stay with Liu Rushi every time, he decided that he would change himself as someone else. And that was it. He started working in her dad's company as her manager. He knew what he did to her was wrong but he could not at all forget about Liu Rushi.
He again looked at Liu Rushi's floor through the car and suddenly the lights of that particular floor went out. 'Weird! How come only her floor lights went out?' He asked and hurriedly got out of his car. He felt something wrong, so he just ran. Unfortunately, he had forgotten his mask.
"Why are you here?" Liu Rushi asked again. And the lights came back. She saw Lei Qingshan standing in front of her with messy hair and sweaty forehead. He was still breathing wildly.
Liu Rushi went to her computer and closed it. She grabbed the necessary reports in her hand and that was when Lei Qingshan saw her burnt hand. It was completely red and swollen. Walking over, he took the reports from her hand and pulled her to the kitchen sink through her other hand.
"What are you do...." Before she could complete her sentence, she felt cold water on her hand. She hissed as she felt pain on her hand. She immediately removed her hand away from the water and blew on it.
"Are you crazy? Why are you putting water on it?" Liu Rushi asked shaking her hand.
Not saying anything, he took her hand and again put it under the water. He didn't let go of her hand till it had been washed thoroughly with cold water.
Liu Rushi didn't say anything. She just tried bearing with the pain. Her mind was somewhere else. She had questions running through her mind. 'Why is he here? Why is he looking after my burnt hand?'
