On my first day of employment, I opened the office door and was stunned.
Three tables were covered with garbage, mold was growing in the instant noodle bucket, and a pot of meat was dying. Three men stood inside and looked at me—the talkative Chen Xu, the socially fearful Lu Yiming, and a director named Gu Xici who was as cold as a refrigerator.
They said: "You are the first girl in the department. From now on, just leave the dirty work to us."
I believed it.
Then I wrote the first proposal and they shut up. When clients want to increase their budget, I ask them to do multiple-choice questions and get the job done without crying or making a fuss. The animation team let go, and the four of us stayed up for seven nights to make a film that made the client boss cry.
They say girls shouldn't work too hard. Three months later, they called me dad—no, they called Party A's dad.
But something went a little wrong.
The refrigerator director started putting my coat on at two o'clock in the morning. On the night of filming in Moganshan, he sent a message saying, "It's cold in the mountains, so wear more clothes." In the elevator, he suddenly asked me: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Before I could react, he said again: "Su Zhan, I like you."
——The first time I met you, you were carrying that canvas bag that said "you don't want to go to work" and you looked confused. I think this guy is quite interesting.
This is the story of a post-00s girl who fights her way through three male colleagues. It is also a story about late-night overtime work, hot pot dinners, and those unspeakable heartbeats.
We stay awake with you.
Stay with you through all three o'clock in the morning.
I will also wait with you for the person who is willing to take you home.
