Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 454 No Overtime Allowed!

The young people standing among a group of middle-aged people were so obvious that it was hard not to notice them.

Chu Lan then quickly looked at Bai Qingxia standing next to Lu Yuanqiu, and realized that the socially awkward girl Xia was the so-called "young master's girlfriend".

He was admitted to Zhuhai University, came from Lucheng, was a freshman, and his surname was Lu. That day, we even got into a taxi together at the branch office entrance... Everything matched up. I almost guessed it myself, but unfortunately, I was still fooled.

Your Highness, you may be pretending to be happy in front of me, but it seems I am doomed this time.

Chu Lan swallowed hard, then her legs suddenly went weak and she lost her balance. She reached back to steady herself on the table, but almost knocked over the water glass on it.

Her colleague, Xiaoli, looked at her strangely.

"I...I'm going to the restroom," Chu Lan said, turning back to Xiao Li with a grim expression.

"No, the supervisor is here! At this time... just bear with it." Xiao Li winked and reminded him.

Chu Lan lowered her voice, but still couldn't hide the breakdown in her tone: "I can't hold back anymore."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Yuanqiu quickly pointed in that direction and shouted, "Senior Sister Chu Lan!"

Chu Lan's heart stopped, and he stood still on the spot.

Lu Yuanqiu was indeed a little embarrassed, after all, he had already put on an act twice in front of Senior Sister Chu Lan.

But in his opinion, the most embarrassed person must be Senior Sister Chu Lan herself. After starting work, she acted like a grudge-monger, and both times she scolded him too harshly, making Lu Yuanqiu not dare to admit his identity in front of her.

Everyone looked in the direction Lu Yuanqiu called out, their gazes focusing on Chu Lan in the crowd. There was no way around it, as she was the only one with her back to them.

Bai Qingxia didn't see the face, but she remembered the name and recalled the face based on the name.

"Senior Sister Chu Lan, we've finally met."

Lu Yuanqiu walked over enthusiastically. He was a little afraid that Chu Lan would resign after learning the truth, or that it would add another headache to her already troublesome job.

So it's fine if I don't get to see her this time, but now that I have to see her, I have to help her resolve her inner conflict, since she's a friend. This is something Lu Yuanqiu had planned long ago.

Chu Lan turned around, smiling awkwardly. The confident and cheerful expression on her face was completely gone, replaced by a timid and hesitant demeanor.

In terms of status, Lu Yuanqiu was the boss of her boss's boss's boss's boss.

Moreover, these ruthless, zombie-like "middle bosses" were all present, so she even had to think carefully about what to say, otherwise she would be the one to suffer after Lu Yuanqiu left.

"Lu..." Chu Lan only managed to say one word, then hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to respond with "junior" or "young master," his face showing only a forced smile and humility.

The supervisor and manager were both staring at her, and she was a little afraid to look up. This scene reminded her of the embarrassment and helplessness she felt when she was interviewing for a job in a small room right after graduation. The atmosphere was especially suffocating.

"I didn't mean to hide it, I just really didn't know how to tell you before that I was the rich second-generation who got in through connections. It's all in the past, don't take it to heart." Lu Yuanqiu put his arm around her shoulder, smiled at everyone, and explained to Chu Lan in a low voice.

Chu Lan turned to look at him, quickly waving her hands and whispering, "No, no, I didn't mean it..."

Lu Yuanqiu didn't respond, but instead asked everyone jokingly, "This is my senior. I remember she's only been working here for a year. Has anyone bullied her?"

Xiao Li, Chu Lan's colleague, stared in surprise at Chu Lan's retreating figure. After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, Chu Lan also silently looked up at a man in his thirties, who was her supervisor.

The supervisor turned his head and looked around, adjusted his glasses, and looked rather guilty.

"Has anyone bullied you?" Lu Yuanqiu asked Chu Lan again, looking down at her.

Chu Lan forced a smile and shook her head. Her uncle then walked over and gave Chu Lan a concerned look: "Young lady, are you working too hard? Your dark circles are so heavy. Look at your hair, just a simple clip to hold it up. Do you work long hours? Do you work overtime?"

The department manager and supervisor both looked over cautiously.

Seeing that Chu Lan didn't dare to speak, Bai Qingxia simply lowered her head, her eyes a little red.

This is a sign that you feel wronged.

Seeing that Chu Lan didn't answer, the uncle understood a bit, so he asked Lu Yuanqiu, "Is this your senior from university or your senior from high school?"

Lu Yuanqiu emphasized with a serious expression: "She's from high school, and we're really close. We even watched movies together, right, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lan looked up at Lu Yuanqiu and nodded with red eyes.

Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Who is her team leader? Who is in charge?"

The supervisor immediately raised his hand and jogged over: "I...I...Hello, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I'm Xiao Chu's supervisor."

Chu Lan was surprised because this was the first time that guy had called her "Little Chu"...

Lu Yuanqiu's expression was serious: "She just started working, so don't assign her too much work. I was the one who recommended her to work here. If she's overworked, how am I supposed to explain it to the teachers and department head when I get back?"

The supervisor quickly bowed and nodded, "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention, I will definitely pay attention."

Old Wang sternly echoed, "That's absolutely necessary! Cancel any overtime work. Chairman Lu clearly stated years ago that overtime is prohibited in the company! You've ruined a perfectly good young lady's life, leaving her no time even to dress herself up!"

"You know, I only relaxed for a few days, and you guys have already picked up this bad habit again... Sigh, it's my fault, it's my fault." Old Wang sighed, glancing at the two General Managers Lu, only to find that both of them had somber expressions, and he immediately dared not speak anymore.

The supervisor and department manager also wiped their sweat and bowed in agreement.

Xiao Li suddenly muttered, "...We're almost all our hair is falling out."

The supervisor glared at the sound, but quickly saw Lu Yuanqiu's face blocking his way.

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at the name tag on his chest, then turned and pointed at Chu Lan, saying, "Manager Li, it was so hot before, and now it's so cold, yet you still keep sending this girl to the school cafeteria. She's been doing this for most of the semester. Is that reasonable? Is this just to give her more pay?"

In the December heat, Manager Li broke out in a cold sweat. He hesitated before speaking, "But the Zhuda cafeteria is a key contracted project for the company, and besides, you're here too..."

"Then you can run from now on." Lu Yuanqiu smiled and patted his shoulders with both hands.

"I believe in your abilities; you are definitely better than the newcomers."

Manager Li's smile froze, and he suddenly saw the manager frantically winking at him.

"Understood!" Supervisor Li immediately accepted the task with a serious expression.

Chu Lan smiled and looked down, while Xiao Li, who was behind her, also hid her smiling face behind the computer screen.

At this moment, the uncle placed his hand on Lu Yuanqiu's shoulder and then addressed everyone on this floor: "The company has a clear rule against overtime. I hope we will not see this happen again in the future. When the New Year comes, we will give the employees more subsidies. Our Lu Group still has this much money."

"clear."

"clear."

The higher-ups all agreed.
