12025.

In the Lujiazui CBD in Pudong, Shanghai, a resolute female boss threw a pile of documents on Xu Manni's desk: "Xu Manni, your performance this month is at the bottom again. Do you not want to work anymore?" Xu Manni's voice was crying, and she defended timidly:

"Supervisor, I have really worked hard, but the client I have been working with suddenly transferred to Sister Tina's group for some unknown reason..." Tina, who had a wavy hair perm, heard this and walked over with her arms crossed: "Xu Manni, what do you mean?

I don’t want to hear it anymore. Why did you transfer your client to me? You rely on your ability to negotiate business! If the client doesn’t sign the contract, it only means that you are not doing your job well!” The beautiful Tina turned to the supervisor and said: “Supervisor, you are

Look at her. She’s been here for almost a year, she doesn’t have an English name, she’s dressed like a native, and she doesn’t know how to drink.” Tina smacked her lips and shook her head, “How can this work?” The supervisor looked at Xu Manni’s appearance.

Wearing rimmed glasses and a dull black suit, she sighed helplessly: "Xu Manni, this is Shanghai, we are a fashion media company, I hope you can integrate as soon as possible!" Xu Manni bit her lip, opened the computer file wordlessly, and prepared to revise another copy.

.

At this time, the phone screen lit up, showing the cartoon rabbit avatar of her boyfriend Chen Dali.

Xu Manni sniffed and clicked on WeChat, looking forward to getting some comfort from her boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, what she saw was a cold breakup notice: "Manni, I'm sorry. I hope you can understand, but my parents still want me to find someone from Shanghai." With a rush of blood, Xu Manni picked up her mobile phone and dialed

Chen Dali's number, her fingers were trembling with excitement.

"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment..." Only the cold mechanical female voice repeated endlessly in her ears.

Chen Dali blocked her.

A few months ago, Chen Dali tactfully conveyed his parents' objections to her, but Xu Manni still held on to a glimmer of hope.

She had wishful thinking that the relationship that had lasted five years from college to work would not end at the drop of a hat.

At this moment, facing the cold reality, her tears could no longer be restrained. Xu Manni lay on the desk crying until her shoulders shook.

In the cold cubicle corridor, only the "click-click" of high-heeled shoes and the high-frequency typing of keyboards echoed in the corridor. No one noticed that in the small partition in the corner, there was a man wandering alone in a foreign land.

The girl was exhausted physically and mentally, and was heartbroken to the point of collapse.

Working overtime in the office until after 9 o'clock, Xu Manni was wandering on the way to the subway like a lonely ghost carrying her bag.

While waiting for the subway, she was tapped on the shoulder.

She turned around blankly, only to see a tall man standing in front of her.

The man was really good-looking, with slightly curly hair, a high bridge of nose, and deep-set eyes. He looked like a mixed-race man who couldn't figure out his race.

The man smiled embarrassedly at Xu Manni, his eyes bright and deep.

Xu Manni had never seen someone's pupils with such a dark tone, as if they were wearing colored contact lenses.

"What?" Xu Manni asked mechanically.

She was still immersed in the pain of broken love and had no intention of admiring the man's beautiful face.

The man made a strange grunting sound and pointed to the self-service drink vending machine not far away.

Such a beautiful man is actually mute?

What a shame.

Thinking of this, Xu Manni felt a sense of relief that she was in the same boat.

She took out a ten-yuan RMB and handed it to the man: "Here you go." The man did not take the money, but continued to point to the drink machine.

"Oh my God, you don't know how to use a self-service vending machine, right? Have you just come to Shanghai to work?" Xu Manni felt a little self-deprecating in her heart. It turned out that there was someone even more old-fashioned than her.

"Come on, I'll teach you." Xu Manni looked at the man again.

He was wearing a sleek black jacket, black trousers and black leather boots, and it was a hot July day in Shanghai.

Xu Manni shook her head, what a strange man.

"Which one do you want?" The man stared at the cabinet for a moment, then tapped the red can of Coca-Cola with his slender fingers.

As soon as the Coke rolled out, the man grabbed the can and drank it in one gulp, then let out an exaggerated and loud "burp".

Xu Manni finally couldn't help but laugh: "You don't drink Coke for the first time, right?" Seeing Xu Manni smile, the man also smiled, and his eyes fell directly on Xu Manni's face.

Xu Manni couldn't help but blush. She scratched her neck and waved her hands in a vain manner: "Okay, I'm leaving!" But the man grabbed her sleeve and pointed at the vending machine.

"Want more?" Xu Manni turned around helplessly, pointed to the Coke can in the cabinet and asked, "Want more Coke?" The man shook his head vigorously.

Xu Manni smiled again: "Yeah, I can't get used to that stuff either. How about you try this?" Xu Manni took it upon herself to order a bottle of lemon black tea for the man.

That's the taste she likes.
