CH 2.2

It was not that they made a fuss, but that Zhuang Yanyu arrived at the company on time every morning 20 minutes in advance no matter the wind or rain from the first day he joined the company to check in.

Everyone didn’t know it at first, but when the attendance sheet was posted last month, everyone was surprised to find that Zhuang Yanyu was in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder. At first glance, the clock in time was always at 08:40:00, with not a second late at all!

Seeing that everyone was so surprised, Zhou Quan happily explained for Zhuang Yanyu: “He also came early today, but he found that he forgot something and didn’t know where to get it.

Zhuang Yanyu gave an ‘en’¹ and smiled politely at his colleagues.

With his smile, Zhou Quan exaggeratedly said, “Stop laughing, look at the girls at the opposite door, They’re all staring at you!”

Zhuang Yanyu was puzzled: “What? ”

He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the opposite door, just in time to meet the eyes of many peeping girls.

When the girls saw Zhuang Yanyu looking over, they looked away, a little embarrassed, some even waved at Zhuang Yanyu generously.

The men in the service department saw it, and they felt sour and envious.

The entire 16th floor was the company’s service centre, and there were only two departments in the service centre, one was the customer service department and the other was the technical service department right to the door.

As the technical service provides technical support and maintenance for the customer group, and the company had many products, the customer group it faced was extremely large. Therefore, the technical service was directly separated from the entire technical department and moved to the service centre department.

The top could relate engineering and support, the bottom could link the new product development and the arrangement of the entire technical department, so it could independently provide technical services to customers, which was very flexible.

The most important thing was that the customer service department at the opposite door was full of beautiful, lovely and gentle ladies!

It would be great if the young ladies didn’t just stare at Xiao Zhuang.

“Since Xiao Zhuang came, the girls at the customer service side have all only stared at Xiao Zhuang.”

“Why are you envious? Before Xiao Zhuang came, the girls didn’t stare at you!”

” You said it as if you didn’t envy them, we are all single, so don’t bully each other?”

The department head heard their discussion, and said with a smile: “I think it’s pretty good, since Xiaozhuang came to our department. Everyone started to love to be clean.”

Hearing this, the men in the technical department looked at each other in dismay and tacit understanding.

There was no other way, Zhuang Yanyu was obviously too handsome, also looking so fair and clean.

Before he came, the men in the whole department basically didn’t care about their appearance. Although they weren’t to the point of being slovenly, they were all otakus². Aside from going to company and their homes, they never went anywhere, how could they even bother thinking of grooming themselves?

When Zhuang Yanyu came, he was like a pure white lotus stuck in the mud, there was no harm with no comparison!

In the past, everyone didn’t think they were sloppy, but now they think they were LOW³. They were obviously all wearing T-shirts and casual pants. People wear them and look like sunny and beautiful young college students while they wear them and look like nerds with panda eyes.

Later, to show that they actually also had a good face and a good figure with fair skin, the men started to buy skin care products, using facial cleanser, and went to bed earlier at night, improving their facial complexion day by day.

The head of the department was happy to see this enthusiastic competition for better health and appearance, and his gaze towards Zhuang Yanyu became more loving: “Xiao Zhuang, the engineering department asked us to borrow some people to do debugging, you go with Zhou Quan today. This way you can follow along and learn more.”

“Okay.”

Zhuang Yanyu was going for the first time. Zhou Quan led Zhuang Yanyu all the way like a confident big brother, and introduced him: “Our technical department only needs to understand the previous products before they come out and provide technical support for difficult and intractable diseases. However, our company’s products are of good quality and there are basically no problems. Therefore, before new products come out, our technical services can be regarded as the elderly care department, engineering research and development or technical headquarters especially like it when they ask our people to help.”

Zhuang Yanyu nodded: “I know that.”

Zhou Quan continued: “But after the new product comes out, our technical service will also start to become busy, most of the upgrade requirements, upgrade reports, active test reports, etc., all need technical services to cooperate with engineering support and R&D centres to complete, and even some operation and installation manuals and maintenance manuals need to be arranged by us. You have just come to the company not long ago, and the work you do in the first month is relatively fragmented. I became a full-time employee this month, and the department just had nothing much to do. If you encounter something you don’t understand later, you don’t have to be embarrassed, just ask me or other colleagues.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Thank you ”

Zhou Quan said with a smile: “You are welcome, everyone belongs to the same company and I am a senior after all.”

When it came to the engineering department, everyone was really busy, and no one cared about it.

The people in the technical service department were reluctant to help all because the work there was too tiring, and there was no extra money, so it was better to stay in the service department to touch fish⁴.
