It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Chapter 62 Seizing the Opportunity (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

"Two meat buns, three shumai, and a cup of soy milk, please."

"Alright. Hey? Young man."

At the breakfast stall, the busy owner suddenly gave Gu Huai a serious look.

Gu Huai looked at the other person curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Has something good happened to you lately?"

The store manager asked with a smile.

Gu Huai wondered why the other person asked that. "No, I don't think so."

"Of course! Look at you, so radiant with joy. You look so much more energetic, your face glows with happiness, hahaha."

"Thank you for your kind words."

Gu Huai ate his breakfast as he walked, still moving very quickly, finishing it before the bus arrived.

These are essential skills for working people: eat quickly, work slowly, and if you can do two hours' worth of work in a whole day, you've grasped the essence of slacking off.

Although Gu Huai himself rarely slacked off.

When there were no seats left on the bus, Gu Huai grabbed the handrail and stood to one side.

The train was packed with people during the morning rush hour, and the carriages swayed and rocked.

It's still filled with all sorts of strange smells and the sound of many Douyin videos played out loud; you can hear everything clearly, down to the smallest detail.

However, Gu Huai suddenly had a strange feeling. When he turned his head, he saw a young girl in a school uniform staring at him. When he looked over, she immediately turned her head away, pretending to be looking at her phone, but her cheeks and ears turned red.

Hmm? Is this the charm of numbers, the charm of numbers?

When I arrived at the company, I would first have a smoke outside, and then clock in on time when it was almost time.

Going to work feels like going to school; you feel like you're missing out if you spend even a minute longer or a second slower.

As soon as he arrived, Old Lin patted Gu Huai on the shoulder enthusiastically, saying, "You're in high spirits because of this happy occasion."

I heard that phrase again.

Gu Huai looked at the other person with amusement, "Where did you see that?"

"Look at your face! Isn't this much more handsome than when you had dark circles under your eyes and looked like you were dying? Your skin has improved too. You're really making a name for yourself!"

The power of numbers was once again proven, and Gu Huai could hardly contain his smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. The matter hasn't been accomplished yet, so how can you talk about 'starting momentum'?"

"Hahaha, I have faith in your professional skills. Don't forget your old brother when you rise to great heights."

"Buying you a drink."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Old Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud, then leaned closer to Gu Huai and lowered his voice, saying, "By the way, Zhong Xinyang is already packing his things; it seems he's moving to a different place."

Gu Huai had already known about this news yesterday, and he had looked at it.

No longer the rising star who attracted attention for everything he did, Zhong Xinyang now appeared rather dejected as he packed up his belongings at his post.

He didn't intend to show off. Firstly, everyone experiences lows, and being too flamboyant would only lead to being humiliated. Secondly, he didn't have any deep-seated hatred for him; at most, they had some quarrels and mutual dislike. He wasn't much better off himself, and there was no need for him to.

So he just smiled and said to Lao Lin, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, I have to go to work."

"Row."

Gu Huai really didn't plan to do anything and go back to his job.

But just as he was about to die, Zhong Xinyang looked up and saw him walking towards them, still staring at him with a resentful look.

Gu Huai intended to ignore it and let them pass by, but then a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You're still trying to bluff? I'll wait and see how you make a fool of yourself!"

They're no longer in the same work group, so they don't need to cower and admit defeat anymore; they're starting to run wild again?

Human nature can be ridiculously simple sometimes. But Gu Huai's mindset is different now. He doesn't need to argue with people to prove anything, because no one will believe any verbal declarations you make unless you present the facts.

He stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhong Xinyang.

Zhong Xinyang was startled, realizing that his mutterings had been heard. He thought the boy was about to go crazy again, so he quickly lowered his head.

However, he did not hear the sarcastic and bitter words he had imagined.

He only heard a few words that were spoken lightly, yet inexplicably persuasive.

"Then you just wait and see."

Looking up, Gu Huai had already gone to his workstation.

He couldn't help but clench his fists; he didn't want to leave Group Two looking so disheveled.

But there was nothing he could do. He already knew that his actions made it impossible for him to stay there any longer; staying would only bring him humiliation. The way his colleagues looked at him now made him feel even more lost.

It's all because of this bastard. He deliberately interfered and didn't cooperate with me, which made me look bad.

He was given such an opportunity, but he was bound to fail. He would surely show his weakness like Ma Su, reveal his true colors, and be beheaded as a warning to others!

"What's with the attitude!"

Zhong Xinyang left with the cardboard box, but Gu Huai didn't feel that anything was much different.

Continuing with yesterday's work, I started contacting the people on the list early this morning.

I ate lunch at the company cafeteria at noon.

Although his situation is very different now, Gu Huai still prefers to eat alone in a corner.

A brief moment of relaxation, without having to think about what topics to bring up to make the lunch more enjoyable with other people around.

A figure sat down opposite me without saying hello, holding a plate.

Gu Huai frowned, wondering who was so tactless. When he looked up, he saw Cai Yan's bright yet cold face, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

Gu Huai immediately relaxed his brows.

"Team Leader Cai is eating in the cafeteria too?"

"Otherwise, what will I eat?"

That familiar tone... She really treats me specially, otherwise why wouldn't she be so rude to others? Hmph.

"No, I meant I thought you were going out to eat."

Cai Yan picked up her chopsticks and said casually, "The company food is pretty good, it's not like a school cafeteria. I don't have the habit of wasting money."

"Team Leader Cai is truly a thrifty and hardworking woman."

Gu Huai was practically giving a thumbs up.

It's true, it seems like none of the school cafeterias I've attended were any good. Finding steel wool or hair in your food isn't considered an accident; as long as no one dies, it's a safe and reliable cafeteria.

"Don't give me that. How's the task I assigned you going?"

She asked.

Gu Huai sighed, knowing it couldn't have been a random coincidence that they were sitting at the same table. Talking about work during meals—what a mess.

"Sigh, those people are very nice. But I've summarized their recent sales data, and it doesn't match their asking prices at all. When I try to reason with them, they just say: If your product is good, what difference does it make how you sell it? Besides, live-streaming sales are risky. How can you not take any risks at all? It's not very reliable."

I wonder if the reason those people were so nice was because my newly acquired persuasion skills were working.

However, the essence has not changed, and even more problems have emerged.

Some people say they need to look at the supply chain, fearing that a sudden product failure could negatively impact the streamer, while others say that the price doesn't fit the streamer's image and ask if the product price could be lowered to 9.9 yuan.

He didn't know if 9.9 yuan was a rock-bottom price, but if he quoted that price, he figured he'd be ready to jump.

Cai Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "Take it slow, there will always be a way. Don't think of the consequences as so serious, but since this is your own opportunity, you should seize it."
