Chapter 730: First Day at Work
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the car prepared to depart, Gao Ming poked his head out of the window, intending to bid his grandmother farewell. However, he found that she had already walked away, cradling Su Le in her arms, leaving him with nothing but her retreating figure.
He awkwardly retreated back into the car, not daring to strike up a casual conversation with Su Bing. Instead, he turned to Su Li and said with a hint of frustration, “I can’t tell anymore, brother, whether she’s my grandmother or Lele’s…”
On the other side of town, Gu Zi leisurely pedaled her bicycle towards the newspaper office. She had left home with plenty of time to spare, so she wasn’t worried about being late.
When she arrived near the office, she felt a bit thirsty. After parking her bicycle, she bought a bottle of sweet water to quench her thirst. The sweet water of this era had no distinct flavor, it was simply sweet, a pure sweetness, enhanced with food coloring, which made it look vibrant.
Gu Zi didn’t concern herself with the potential health risks of the added coloring. She only drank it occasionally, and it seemed to her that the added coloring was a minor issue compared to the various additives found in future beverages. Perhaps this sweet water was even healthier! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
She took another sip, rummaged through her cross-body bag, and put on her employee badge.
As she walked through the newspaper office’s main entrance and was about to ascend the stairs, she saw Wu Hao descending.
She initially wanted to avoid him, but Wu Hao’s sharp eyes spotted her immediately. He quickened his pace, calling out, “Gu Zi, hello! You’re here for work!”
Upon seeing Gu Zi, Wu Hao was like a moth drawn to a flame. Fortunately, as he approached her, he realized his over-enthusiasm and slowed his pace, stopping at a respectful distance. Although he had come back late and missed his chance to pursue Gu Zi, he was still thrilled to be her colleague.
Gu Zi felt a bit uncomfortable and took a step back, forcing a smile as she responded, “Hello, Reporter Wu. Are you heading out for work? I need to hurry upstairs to report in.”
While chatting, Gu Zi scanned the room but didn’t see Guan Xin. She must have been out on an assignment. But hadn’t she called to arrange lunch together today?
Guan Xin must have been called away on urgent business. As for the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief, their seats were empty. Just as Guan Xin had said, it was rare to see these two leaders in the office.
Feeling that she had socialized enough, Gu Zi excused herself, “I need to go see Director Jiang now. After I receive my work assignment, we can all discuss it together.”
Everyone understood. It was Gu Zi’s first day at work, and they didn’t know whether Director Jiang would be satisfied with her. They had a meeting later, and Gu Zi, as the newcomer, needed to participate. They let her go, fearing she might not make it in time.
Once Gu Zi left, everyone dispersed and returned to their desks.
Gu Zi crossed the hallway and entered the office area on the opposite side of the main office. Upon entering, she saw a woman in her fifties sitting in a small cubicle, engrossed in writing something. Her concentration was intense.
