Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 182
It turns out that Xu Rendong thinks too much.
This is the last level of the last dungeon, how could it be so easy to let him go?
As soon as he walked to the front of the leadership’s office, his colleague raised his head and said, “The boss went out to discuss business, and can’t come back today. Do you have anything to do with him?”
Xu Rendong turned around and said, “I’m in a hurry at home, I have to go back early in the afternoon, I want to take a leave.”
The colleague said expressionlessly: “Then you have to finish the work, or you will delay the progress.” He pointed at his desk, and then went back to work hard.
Xu Rendong glanced at the desk, and saw that several documents had been piled up on it. This amount is far more than his usual workload. In contrast, there are only one or two documents on the desks of other colleagues, which is much less than before they left for their lunch break.
I’m afraid… they’re putting their work on him.
Even Joe noticed this and asked, “Do they bully you like that outside?”
Xu Rendong held his forehead: “I don’t feel it outside, after all, it’s not as intuitive as it is now, and there is so much more work after eating…” He was a little embarrassed when he said that, “I Only now did I realize that I was such a failure as a human being, and everyone hated me so much.”
Lian Qiao thought for a while and said, “This copy is a reflection of reality, and it will magnify the details in reality. I think that outsiders may just think that you are not easy to get close to, so here it is magnified into “Um…” He hesitated for a while, but after all, he couldn’t think of the right wording, so he had to smile, “It will be enlarged into a refrigerator.”
The honeysuckle also makes sense. Take the case of the rice ball just now. For them, he just rejected one rice ball, but for his colleagues, maybe it was because he repeatedly rejected everyone’s kindness in the past six months and rarely participated in group activities. Attitude suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Honeysuckle smiled bitterly: “Forget it, this is the end, let’s go to work honestly.”
He returned to his seat with Lian Joe. At this time, the office chairs of the two of them were freezing and stiff, and it was as if they were sitting on a block of ice, and it was completely cold. Ren Dong shivered involuntarily. Lian Qiao naturally took his hand, put it on his lips and breathed lightly.
This action reminded Ren Dong of a certain reincarnation. He was accidentally injured by Lian Qiao and was admitted to the hospital. Lian Qiao came to see him full of guilt, and couldn’t raise his head. But even Joe made the same reaction when he noticed that he was shrinking from the cold.
It is almost a physiological reflex, an instinct.
Xu Rendong looked at him, although her body was still cold, her heart was warm like soaking in a hot spring.
Lian Qiao finally got up and said, “You do things first, I’ll look for hot water.”
Honeysuckle felt that the water dispenser would definitely not work properly at this time, but seeing Lian Qiao walking so decisively, he suddenly had a flash in his heart:
Is even Joe worried?
Even as smart as Lian Qiao, it can’t help you with these financial statements. He can only accompany Ren Dong, guarding him, at most to warm his hands.
This feeling of powerlessness is very uncomfortable. Honeysuckle has been experienced countless times, so it is very understandable.
So instead of stopping Lian Qiao, he focused his attention back on his work.
Although there are no windows in the office, there is a cold wind coming out of nowhere. The hand that Xu Rendong had just warmed up quickly became cold and numb again. He tapped the keyboard with difficulty, only to feel that he was about to freeze into a zombie.
To make matters worse, not only was he frozen stiff, even the computer was affected by the low temperature, and the operation speed was greatly slowed down. Not to mention the keyboard and mouse, it takes a few clicks to respond.
Lian Qiao walked around the office and came back soon. Sure enough there was no hot water. He can only hug the honeysuckle to reduce the loss of heat from the honeysuckle as much as possible.
Xu Rendong has put all her heart and soul into her work, ignoring what is happening around her. However, office bullying is not for nothing after all. It was originally the workload of two or three people, plus equipment failures, even a skilled person like Xu Rendong could not complete it before leaving get off work.
Seeing that the time is approaching six o’clock, it is almost time to get off work, but there is still more than half of the work left. At this speed, it is absolutely impossible for him to finish before ten o’clock.
Xu Rendong also became anxious. He was worried that if he missed the big truck at ten o’clock, he might miss the elevator forever. What’s more, the office at this time didn’t even have a door, and there was a thick wall of ice all around, and he couldn’t do anything if he wanted to skip work.
It can’t go on like this. Honeysuckle was already weak, and after sitting in this sub-zero environment for an afternoon, he was so frozen that he felt his blood was about to freeze. No matter how Lian Qiao hugged him and protected him, he couldn’t resist the loss of body heat after all. What’s more, if it goes on like this, even Joe’s body can’t bear it.
Xu Rendong bit her pale lips, her stiff fingers gradually stopped on the keyboard, showing a thoughtful look.
Although he didn’t say a word, Lian Qiao could read his anxiety from his demeanor, and said softly: “Actually… I have an idea. I just want you to make a little sacrifice. “
Honeysuckle’s eyes lit up: “What?”
“Just ask your colleagues to help you with a little bit of work.”
Honeysuckle said in amazement: “It was originally a task they gave me, is it useful to ask them?”
“I’m just guessing, after all, the copy will magnify all the details. A rice ball will lead to a bullying, a love…” He said this, and suddenly stopped the conversation abruptly.
Honeysuckle didn’t know why he stopped, cast a suspicious look at him, and waited quietly for him to speak.
The muscles at the corner of Lian Qiao’s eyes twitched slightly. He suddenly laughed. The eyebrows curved, covering the strangeness of the muscles at the corners of the eyes.
“…Maybe a letter of apology can restore everyone’s goodwill towards you?” Lian Qiao said.
Honeysuckle suddenly realized: “You make a lot of sense.” Then he had to pick up the pen to write an apology letter.
Lian Qiao added: “It’s not necessary to write a letter, maybe you go and apologize to them in person, and it’s over. I’m just giving an example.”
Honeysuckle stopped writing and asked in surprise, “Then what is the sacrifice you’re talking about?”
“
“Why didn’t I beg?” Ren Dong sighed softly, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice, “When you made me unbearable, didn’t I ask you? “
Lian Qiao was stunned by what he said, as if he was scratched by a kitten, itchy and hot. For a moment he was speechless.
Honeysuckle was in a good mood, pinched his face, and said with a smile, “I finally learned this trick, and it really works.” After speaking, he got up and walked towards his colleagues.
Lian Qiao’s face was a little red at first, but after hearing the phrase “learn this trick”, his face changed slightly.
Honeysuckle walked to Liu Xiaoqi’s side, bent down, and said something politely. Liu Xiaoqi didn’t lift her head, looking like she was ignoring her.
Honeysuckle was not discouraged, and still spoke to her in a low voice. Finally, Liu Xiaoqi pouted, turned her head and said a few words.
Honeysuckle smiled like an apology, took out her mobile phone, tapped a few times on the screen, and handed it to Liu Xiaoqi.
I don’t know what she saw on the honeysuckle mobile phone, Liu Xiaoqi’s expression suddenly eased a lot. She tapped a few times on the screen, said something to a few colleagues around, and then handed Ren Dong’s phone to them.
The mobile phone circled around in the hands of colleagues, and finally returned to Xu Rendong. Ren Dong lowered his head and operated, and then chatted with his colleagues for a while. It can be seen that everyone’s attitude towards him has eased a lot at this time.
The surrounding temperature also began to rise significantly.
Lian Qiao, who was watching from a distance, wiped the water droplets on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
When the honeysuckle came back, he asked, “What did you tell them?”
Honeysuckle said: “I ordered milk tea for everyone.”
Lian Qiao laughed: “You still order milk tea? Why haven’t I seen you drink milk tea.”
“Actually, my colleagues taught me.” Ren Dong didn’t know what to think, the smile on his face became very distant, “It feels like a long, long time ago… When we just established our relationship .”
“Huh?”
Honeysuckle showed a memory look, and then shook her head: “I forgot which dungeon it was, in short, we were together after we came out. After you moved in, I began to think… a lot of things that I thought were boring. Things have gradually become more interesting. It’s like the original black and white world has become colored little by little.”
Soon, as if he had figured out something, a self-deprecating smile flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his hand and gently wiped the snow on his brows for Honeysuckle.
Lin Dong smiled and said, “Oh, why am I being so long-winded today. Don’t say anything, you have to hurry up.”
As he spoke, he picked up a few documents and handed them over to his colleagues.
Xu Rendong’s pleasing behavior of drinking milk tea, did not expect to get such a good result. Not only did his colleagues agree to help him share the work, but the surrounding temperature gradually returned to normal.
The frozen bodies of the two finally warmed up, and the blood in the whole body was surging, and the skin was itchy. The jacket could not be worn, so he took it off.
Lin Dong was about to stuff the jacket back into the equipment bag, but Lian Qiao said, “No need, don’t bring it.”
Honeysuckle was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted.
It’s getting dark. The ghost is coming out.
It will be the final battle, no one knows how difficult it will be. These equipments on the body can still be simplified, so as to avoid wasting too much physical strength. The jacket is stuffed in the bag, and it is inconvenient to find things.
Honeysuckle clicked “Save” in the report file at hand. Soon after, colleagues also ended their work one after another and stretched their backs one after another.
Honeysuckle raised her head, only to find that, before she knew it, the office door that had been turned into an ice wall reappeared.
He looked at the time, it was nine o’clock. There’s still an hour until ten o’clock.
“Let’s go.” Honeysuckle took a deep breath.
“Hmm.”
The two packed up their equipment and walked towards the office door. Colleagues were jokingly chatting, but suddenly stopped and turned their attention to Ren Dong.
This time, Xu Rendong, who once again became the focus of attention, did not feel so disgusted.
He turned around and smiled at his colleagues: “Goodbye.”
Colleagues also waved at him: “See you tomorrow.”
Xu Rendong was very calm at this time. It is not the illusion that he has returned to reality, but the calmness after unraveling the knot in his heart.
