The ruby gem was very dazzling under the refraction of light.
The secretary looked at the ring between Duan Yu’s ring finger and was speechless for a while, but as a qualified subordinate, now she needs to exert the good morals that every worker has.
Flattery, I’m good at that.
“Mr. Duan, your ring matches you very well. This ruby is invaluable, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a very meaningful collection.”
Duan Yu retracted his hand with satisfaction. “You have been in the company for a few years.”
The secretary smiled and said, “It’s been almost eight years.”
Then Duan Yu handed the secretary a piece of paper, and the secretary hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Duan, this ring is just tailor-made for you. Only the love between you and Mr.Lu can be worthy of this extraordinary ruby.”
Although her face was calm, her heart was happy. Stepping on high heels and holding the salary increase certificate in his hand, he walked briskly and pushed open the door of the boss’s office and prepared to go to the finance department.
The colleague saw her and greeted her in a low voice: “Hey! Why are you so happy? You’re off the list.”
The secretary who has been alone for more than 20 years is extremely happy. There are only three people in their secretariats.
They have been helping each other at work. Except for the male colleague picking up express delivery, there is no vicious competition and involution in the workplace.
The secretary held up the proof of salary increase in Yang’s hand, “It’s a salary increase! I originally saved money to buy a bag next month, but I can buy it after this month’s salary is settled.”
“I was afraid to go next month. What should I do if there is no stock, don’t worry now.”
The secretary was overjoyed at this time, she had been interested in that big bag for a long time. She wanted to discuss with the store owner if she could reserve one, but the store owner was also very embarrassed. After all, only the rich can have the last word.
After all, other people spend money, and they spend money.
If others want to buy it now, the store’s money will be available immediately.
What if it is reserved for guests but the guest changed their mind and did not want it anymore.
After all, what bag to buy is also divided into seasons and popularity.
It is still a well-known international brand, and the secretary is just one of the small community animals, and is not an old VIP customer.
The store owner naturally has no reason to help her keep the goods.
The colleague was also happy for her when she saw it, “Mr. Duan must have seen that your recent working ability is good and that you are careful and capable. Plus you have been in the company for so many years, there is no credit and hard work to raise your salary, the needle does not poke, the needle does not poke.
Who knew the next moment, the secretary raised her right index finger and shook it back and forth.
“No, it’s not because of my hard work.”
The colleague wondered, “What’s that because?”
Ten minutes later, the colleague walked out of the boss’s office happily with the proof of salary increase.
She finally understood what the secretary said.
Not because of hard work,
But because of flattery.
Colleagues were still surprised.
The secretary glanced at the boss’ office, then lowered her voice and said, “Mr. Duan has a ring on his left ring finger today, you know what I mean.”
The colleague was confused and curious, “What do you mean?”
The secretary raised her voice. Her chin pointed in the direction of the boss’s office, “You’ll know when you go in and say that Mr. Duan’s ring looks good.”
The colleague was a little intimidated at first, but the expression on the secretary’s face said, “Believe me, you’ll be shocked forever.”
The colleague then walked in with an uneasy pace, and tremblingly praised Mr. Duan’s ring.
Sure enough, the domineering man waved his hand and received the salary increase certificate.
This man is so damn endearing.
The colleague was incoherent with excitement, and never thought that they would be able to raise their wages with this kind of behavior.
Then the secretary lightly bumped into her colleague, “You are so showy.”
The colleague smiled charmingly with the salary increase certificate, “You are not bad.”
The male colleague who was forced to pick up the courier and came back to see this scene: “…”
“Your courier is here. I’ll pick it up by myself later.”
Then he put it on the secretariat’s public table.
The secretary held the salary increase document to prove, “You also go in and say a few words, and the salary increase.”
The male colleague is Duan Yu’s assistant, and he has always been the first person by Mr. Duan’s side.
So it was very discerning.
Looking at the secretary, he said, “What did you say?”
The secretary looked convinced, “Mr. Duan is in a good mood today. You go in and say that the ring looks good, and a couple of flattering words will raise your salary.”
The male colleague frowned after hearing this, gave a disdained look.
“Am I that kind of flatterer?!”
Secretary: “…”
Colleague: “…”
Then he said to the two female colleagues: “See for yourself how you two are tempted by money now. How ignorant. ”
“Have you all forgotten what the original intention of joining the company was?!” The male colleague was full of ambition and said loudly: “We are here to hone our will, build professionalism and good character, not to make a fool of yourself here, going for a salary increase.”
Secretary: “…”
Colleague: “…”
It wasn’t like this when you were a dog…
“Did we follow Mr. Duan just for the salary increase and the company Superior treatment?”
“No! We are here for our bright future.”
The male colleague finished a passionate self speech.
Ten minutes later, the same secretary slapped the proof of the salary increase on the desk of the staff in the finance department.
“Salary increase!”
The staff of the finance department pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose with sharp eyes, “A lot of people.”
The male colleague stepped forward with his chest out, “Three people!”
Flattering is so fragrant!
——
Lu Yuanbai got up early and went to the door of Duan Yu’s room to put pocket money, then went back to his room and fell asleep.
He worked on the hospital bed for half a month. He was paralyzed by salted fish every day, and his belly turned white from time to time.
Yesterday, he suddenly started working early in the morning, and Lu Yuanbai really couldn’t eat. After all, he still had some injuries and was in the recovery period.
This morning, he forced his eyes open, and when he put the money away and returned to his room in a daze, almost falling asleep on the way.
In order to avoid waking up hungry, Lu Yuanbai went to Aunt Li to ask for a cup of breakfast milk for breakfast before returning to sleep.
Milk also has a certain sleep aid effect.
Lu Yuanbai slept for the second time.
When he woke up again, it was already eleven o’clock in the afternoon.
Lu Yuanbai opened his eyes in a daze, and was a little stunned just after waking up.
He sat on the big bed.
Looking at the environment he was not very familiar with, it took him a long time to remember that this was his and his wife’s home.
Then, after wearing the pajamas, he got up from the bed sleepily.
Although he drank the milk for breakfast, Lu Yuanbai was still a little hungry near noon. He put on slippers and plan to go downstairs for lunch.
However, as soon as Lu Yuanbai walked out the door, he saw a rose in the vase displayed on the booth next to the door of the room.
Not only that, there were vases in the corridor on the second floor filled with roses.
There were many varieties and colours.
It can’t be very similar to the roses he brought home yesterday, or it’ll be just the same.
Lu Yuanbai looked at the flowers, both novel and unexpected. After all, some antique vases are used for illustrations, which do seem a bit out of place.
Lu Yuanbai walked in to observe, and put some water in each vase, obviously to keep these roses fresh.
Lu Yuanbai came all the way down from the second floor, and his eyes were full of colorful roses.
However, as soon as he reached the first floor, he was completely stunned. He saw many servants moving vases with roses into the house.
The housekeeper urged: “Everyone move faster, it’s already noon, the sun is poisonous, roses can’t be dried outside, everyone move vases to speed up.”
These roses have been packaged and cut, unlike those that grow in the soil so well.
As can be seen from the antique illustrations, Mr.Duan was very fond of caring for these roses.
If roses are exposed to the sun for a long time, some of the flowers will be stuffed and it will be difficult to feed.
There are more of these flowers, and one or two less will not matter, but Duan Yu is rigorous in his work and pays high wages.

The housekeeper has such full professional quality, even if he spends less, he will have to raise it for half a month before he can spend less.
Lu Yuanbai, wearing bear pajamas, stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Then he asked, “Uncle, what are you doing?”
Seeing that Lu Yuanbai had come down, the butler answered honestly, “I’m helping my husband to move the flowers. Today, when my husband left, he said that he would move the flowers out to bask in the sun, and now the sun is poisonous at noon. I will move in first, and continue tomorrow.”
After speaking, he began to instruct the servants to start placing vases in every corner of the villa.
Seeing a servant come in with a white jade vase, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it, “I’ll come here, this is something from the Ming Dynasty.”
“Then you put it down first, and wait for me to move it later!”
“You can take the jade one. It’s lame now!”
The housekeeper was always nervous, and the moment he opened his mouth, he was called old-fashioned.
The butler’s heart trembled just watching them move these antique vases.
If this is broken, it is estimated that the amount of money will kill him to death.
Lu Yuanbai could also see the housekeeper’s reluctance, and he stepped forward and asked suspiciously, “Uncle, why do you use an antique vase to arrange flowers? It feels a little wasteful.”
Who said no!
Lu Yuanbai has been a sensible child since he was a child, and he is a very caring little padded jacket.
Although the butler was madly catering to him, he still told the truth, “Sir wants to raise these roses, but the warehouse vases are limited and can’t estimate every single one, so just take these…”
The butler couldn’t help but feel distressed when he said this, and then Said: “I’ll use these antique vases first.”
Lu Yuanbai glanced at the antique vases around him, “Then why don’t you put a few flowers together?”
The butler was silent for a while and then said, “Maybe the gentleman wants to give each of the roses a home.”
Lu Yuanbai: “…”
It sounds like an old scumbag.
But seeing that the flowers he bought and gave to Duan Yu were carefully raised by the other party, Lu Yuanbai felt a little sweetness in his heart for a while.
If I had known this earlier, I would have given two more pocket money this morning.
The housekeeper couldn’t help but glance at Lu Yuanbai, Duan Yu had never done such a crazy thing before… No, such a rebellious thing.
Good antique vases for flower arrangements…
The butler was heartbroken.
Lu Yuanbai saw that there were many vases in the yard outside the court, wearing bear pajamas and stepping on white slippers, and also went out to carry vases.
Some of the servants were very surprised when they saw it, and hurriedly said, “Mr. Lu, go back quickly, the sun is strong at noon.”
Mr. Lu, whom they married back to Duan, is a big star. Celebrity artists pay attention to maintenance. When attending the event, the Sun Metropolis will have an assistant to hold a parasol on the side to avoid sunburn and tanning.
Mr. Lu’s skin is very fair and looks fine. Those with tender skin will definitely be distressed if they get sunburned.
However, Lu Yuanbai felt nothing, and smiled at them: “If it’s nothing, I can help you move faster, and you can spend less time in the sun.”
Lu Yuanbai just woke up, his dark hair was slightly messy, and his already fair skin was fair and transparent under the sunlight in the summer noon.
A pair of peach blossom eyes stared at the person opposite, and then the corners of his tender red mouth twitched.
The servant who wanted to rush to move the things was stunned for a while.
It must be the person their husband liked. No matter from any angle, he is very beautiful.
Although it is strange to describe a man as beautiful, seeing Lu Yuanbai treating him again After laughing, there were only these two words in the servant’s mind for a while.
Lu Yuanbai is really beautiful. Just a slight smile can make people look away.
Then the servant’s face turned slightly red, “But…Mr. Lu, your hand.”
The servant looked at Lu Yuanbai’s plastered right hand with a troubled expression.
“It’s okay, I can move it.”
That said, Lu Yuanbai lowered his body and held a vase into the crook of his left arm.
The butler had just put away an antique vase when he turned his head and saw Lu Yuanbai holding another valuable vase. The vase came in.
For a moment, his heart jumped.
“Mr. Lu, just sit down! You shouldn’t bother with these things.”
Lu Yuanbai said enthusiastically: “It’s okay, I’m not tired.”
Butler: “…”
He was not worried about him, he was just more worried about the objects in Lu Yuanbai’s hand.
But even if many people came to stop him, Lu Yuanbai still insisted on moving flowers by himself.
Although the two were still quarreling, this was also his wife’s heart for him.
Duan Yu wasn’t home anyway, so even if he moved, the other party wouldn’t know.
He is still angry now. If the other party knows that he has moved flowers, wouldn’t he be very embarrassed?
After Lu Yuanbai moved about six or seven pieces, all the vases were moved back to the house.
Seeing the housekeeper take out the watering can, his eyes lit up instantly.
These roses have just finished drying outside, and the housekeeper wants to sprinkle some water on some of the roses that are a little over-dried.
However, the moment the butler took out the watering can, he met a pair of dazzling eyes full of anticipation.
Butler: “…”
Lu Yuanbai was wearing bear pajamas and white slippers, and then started to move towards the butler in small steps.
At this time, his morning hair was a little messy, and he looked at the housekeeper with the appearance of a naughty baby.
“…”
The housekeeper hesitated for a while, after all, Lu Yuanbai was considered their employer, and it seemed inappropriate to let the other party work.
But Lu Yuanbai’s anticipation eyes were too warm, and then he tentatively said, “How about…”
Lu Yuanbai hurriedly followed the words: “How about I water them?.”
After speaking, he extended his left hand to the housekeeper in anticipation.
The housekeeper felt complicated for a while, and then said, “Mr. Lu just woke up and hasn’t had lunch yet. Why don’t you go have lunch first?”
Lu Yuanbai glanced at the clock on the wall in the living room, it was half past eleven at noon.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yuanbai said, “I’ll water the flowers for half an hour first, and then go to lunch at twelve o’clock.”
The housekeeper gave Lu Yuanbai the watering can when he saw that Lu Yuanbai insisted.
After Lu Yuanbai got it, a big smile instantly rose on his fair little face, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Then he turned around happily, and happily went to water the roses like a hard-working little bee.
He pressed the nozzle, and the water mist spread in the air.
Although Lu Yuanbai was pampered when he was a child, the fun of social practice was no less.
Lu Wanfang hopes that her son will grow up as happy as ordinary children. In addition to being relatively rich in material, there is nothing special about the growth process. She would also take her son for a walk in the park and grow flowers and vegetables at home.
When he was a child, Lu Yuanbai, who was a white and tender bun, often took the big straw hat that his mother bought to feed flowers and drink water in the garden.
At that time, the little bun was very persistent in watering the flowers with a hose, and ended up taking an open-air bath for himself.
Fortunately, it was summer, when the sun was high at noon, and Lu Yuanbai, who had been frail since childhood, would definitely fall ill in other seasons.
After Lu Yuanbai had watered the flowers, he went to eat with satisfaction.
Aunt Wang had been keeping food for Lu Yuanbai, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly put the meal on the table.
Lu Yuanbai smiled and said, “Thank you Aunt Wang.”
Lu Yuanbai was about the same age as Aunt Wang’s son, and Aunt Wang looked at Lu Yuanbai very lovingly and said, “You’re welcome, Mr. Lu.”
After eating, Lu Yuanbai planned to go for a walk in the garden, but seeing the sun shining brightly outside, he gave up the idea.
He started to paralyze on the sofa, then patted his white belly through his pajamas, and thought of Duan Yu’s muscular lines.
He swallowed for a while.
It’s not that he’s lazy, it’s just that he is inconvenient to exercise now.
When his injuries were healed, he started exercising to develop eight-pack abs.
Stronger than his wife, to maintain his dignity.
Now Lu Yuanbai, who can only move his right hand, began to imagine infinitely.
Originally, Lu Yuanbai would send a message to Duan Yu at noon every day, asking whether the other party had dinner on time.
But after yesterday’s Cold War, today’s lunch greetings were cancelled.
Lu Yuanbai held the phone and was a little tangled for a while, but remembered that Duan Yu had promised him well before, but then he began to eat irregularly, so Lu Yuanbai’s idea of sending messages to the other party was completely destroyed.
Lu Yuanbai was paralyzed on the sofa doing nothing, and after a while, the doorbell rang from the entrance.
Lu Yuanbai sat up in an instant, stepped on his slippers and walked towards the entrance, and saw the face on the monitor next to the door.
It was Lu Wang Fang.
Lu Yuanbai’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly opened the door, “Mom!”
Lu Yuanbai cried out in joy again.
Lu Wang Fang came in with fruits and vegetables.
Lu Yuanbai reached out and took the things that Ms. Lu Wang Fang was carrying, “Mom, why are you here?”
Lu Wang Fang smiled and looked at her son, “I just wanted to come and see you.”
Yesterday, when the two talked on the phone, Lu Yuanbai said he was missing her. So Lu Wang Fang bought some vegetables today to see her son, and planned to cook a meal for Lu Yuanbai.
Lu Yuanbai squatted to find slippers for Lu Wang Fang, then looked around like a thief, and saw that neither the servant nor the housekeeper was nearby.
Only then did he raise his arms to hug Lu Wang Fang, his tone was full of dependence and nostalgia, “Mom.”
The son’s hug came suddenly, Lu Yuanbai grew taller, and for a time he was like a big dog.
Lu Wang Fang looked at her son’s 18-year-old appearance and hugged Lu Yuanbai back with a smile, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Yuanbai hugged her mother, her voice muffled, “It’s nothing, I just miss you.”
The two of them haven’t seen each other for more than a week, and Lu Yuanbai misses his mother.
Although before he lost his memory, Lu Yuanbai often couldn’t see people for four or five months because of his work, but in order not to worry his mother, he just kept the missing in his heart.
If you can’t take it anymore, take a picture and look at it.
Eighteen-year-old Lu Yuanbai is different. He will not bottle up his emotions in his heart.
His expression is very straightforward, I love you, I miss you.
This is the language he speaks most often.
Because Mother Wang Fang gave him full love, and he also expressed it in order to make the other party feel it.
Lu Wan Fang stroked her son’s head on tiptoe and said with a smile, “Mom misses you too.”
Lu Yuanbai hugged for a while before letting go, then opened the bag that Lu Wang Fang brought over and asked, “Mom, who are you? Are you here to make dinner for me?”
Lu Wanfang nodded, “I’ll make dumplings for you.”
Lu Yuanbai had high expectations after hearing this. Lu Wang Fang became a housewife after giving birth to Lu Yuanbai, because Shen Kangyong was busy with work and gave Lu Yuanbai very little parental love.
Lu Wang Fang did not want Lu Yuanbai to be lacking in maternal love. It was not until his divorce that he began to develop his career, and he made some great achievements.
Because I was a housewife before, I cooked well.
Lu Yuanbai sent the dishes that Lu Wang Fang bought into the kitchen with some anticipation, and then told Aunt Li, “Aunt Li doesn’t have to prepare dinner today. My mother is here and will make dumplings for me today.”
He took off the bear pajamas on his body, and when he smiled, his face turned white and flushed, stupid.
When Aunt Wang looked at him, she could think of her son and said with a smile, “Okay, Mrs. Lu must cook what Mr. Lu likes most.”
After Lu Yuanbai put the dishes in the kitchen, he went to chat with Lu Wang Fang.
Lu Wang Fang trimmed her son’s messy hair. Lu Yuanbai was like a big dog, sitting on the sofa obediently to let Lu Wang Fang go along.
Lu Wang Fang flattened the dull hair on her son’s head, “How has your life been recently?”
Lu Yuanbai said without thinking, “It’s good.” “How about not quarreling with A-Yu?”
Lu Yuanbai was sullen all night: “…”
But Lu Yuanbai didn’t want to worry his mother, and said without any hesitation: “My wife and I have a good relationship, and we didn’t quarrel.”
Lu Wang Fang didn’t ask any more questions after hearing this. Because the two have been married for so many years, and their relationship has always been good.
“When A-yu comes back, Mom will make dumplings for you.”
——
In the luxuriously decorated boss’s office, the secretary is talking to his boss about the arrangements for the afternoon.
“Mr. Duan has a wine party this afternoon. He is the boss of the partner in recent years.” Then he asked tentatively, “Do you want to push it down?”
Duan Yu looked down at the ruby wedding ring in his hand.
“What time?”
The secretary said truthfully, “Three o’clock in the afternoon.”
In fact, the secretary already had the answer in his mind, and their bosses had a lot of faces. Usually, no one would dare to say anything if they didn’t go to such a wine party.
The question just now was just meaningless.
However, in the next moment, Duan Yu turned the ring on his ring finger slightly, and said in a low voice, “Go prepare the car.”
