Before leaving, Aera had bread in her mouth and saw a pile of small building blocks on the table.

"It's not time to go to work yet, let's just play for a while."

Aera muttered to herself, her fingertips settled on the building blocks and began to pile up a little bit, trying her best not to let herself think about the fact that she had been cheated on.

But not long after playing, the building blocks clacked and fell into pieces.

"Oh, why can't I always pile it up?"

Aera shook her head. She found that she was not very good at stacking. Things that were piled in small piles were not high enough.

This might be her characteristic.

Then Aera glanced that it was getting late, and she went out in a hurry.

When she arrived at the company department, Aera found that the department was much busier than before.

Today's female colleagues were all dressed up, and they gathered together to discuss something with each other. Later, when Aera silently returned to her seat, she was noticed by her colleagues.

One of the female colleagues who had a good relationship with Aera on weekdays spoke up——

"Hey, Aera, didn't you ask for leave yesterday when you weren't feeling well? How are you now?"

"I feel so much better now."

Aera didn't want to talk about these issues anymore. As soon as she said this, she thought of taking a day off yesterday to accompany her best friend to the hospital, and then those unpleasant things happened.

Aera bypassed the topic and said, "By the way, what day is today, why are you all so excited to get together?"

"Oh, don't you know? Our company's boss has been replaced, and it was recently acquired by a new group force. I heard that today the new chairman will come to the company to take a look at the environment."

"That's it." Aera was stunned, and then a little puzzled, "What's so exciting about that?"

"God, don't you know that the chairman who came this time is said to be very young? Think about which man with a successful career is not in his 40s or 50s. This chairman is less than 30 years old, and he is handsome! I heard that he is single!"

"..."

"Don't put on such a disgusting expression, didn't you see Lily and the others all dressed up, let's not tell you! I'm going to touch up my makeup, don't come over and see me so ugly."

The female colleague quickly took out the puff in her bag and started to touch up her makeup, leaving Aera speechless.

Compared with the enthusiasm of others, Aera was not very interested.

Even if the chairman they say is young and single, to be able to sit in this position, it must have seen many women, how can it be so easy?

It is better to work hard. Men are unreliable, and only their work is the most reliable.

Today's Aera is extremely disappointed with men, and she only wants to make money and get rich to solve her worries.

Afterward, Aera calmed down, turned to work, and started crackling into the computer to enter the lace news copy of various second and third-tier starlets.

It didn't take long for the result, and suddenly there was a commotion among the female colleagues, chattering in their ears as if they saw something extraordinary.

Aera didn't want to pay attention to the movement outside, but she was still a little bit unbearable because of their noise, so she glanced at the source center of the noise.

At this glance, her hand on the keyboard stiffened.

"Come here!" Some of the female colleagues whispered.

The door of the office suddenly opened, and a group of people walked toward him. The first thing Aera noticed was the man in the lead.

The man was wearing a tailor-made suit, and the cuffs of the white shirt under his wrists were just the right distance, making him appear rigorous and unruly.

The man was very tall, so tall that he stood out among a group of flattering leaders, especially the peach blossom eyes on the corners of the other side's eyes.

Wherever he swept his gaze, there was a commotion in the heart.

Even the most serious deputy manager on weekdays seemed to be a different person at this moment, carefully following the man with the document in his hand.
