Lu Zh Aodu has been fed up with the company's HR department for a long time. Hiring a bunch of idiots is bad enough, but now they've apparently hired a slacker delinquent who loves doing nothing.
That employee is Wen Yu. She zones out while everyone else works and daydreams while everyone else is in meetings.
The most important thing is that Lu Zhoudu can hear all her thoughts.
[Looks like the sales department head and the finance department head have really fallen out. That's a point off this month's performance.]
Lu Zhoudu frowns. When did those two get together?
[But why did Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang in HR break up?]
Lu Zhoudu raises his coffee cup to hide his even deeper frown. How many employees are secretly dating behind his back? They can't focus on work, and no wonder this month's performance is a total mess!
[And there's Xiao Li in IT and Xiao Zhao in marketing... Surely they haven't broken their red thread too? They were in bed together last night, cursing the boss...]
Lu Zhoudu spits out his coffee.
Who? Who's cursing him? Which people in IT are surnamed Li? Which people in marketing are surnamed Zhao?
Secretary Zhang, investigate!!!
**
Wen Yu thinks her boss is the most awful boss in the world. You can't get office supplies approved, your leave requests get rejected, and the proposals you submit get sent back for revisions...
Worst of all, he banned office romances!
Wen Yu, a rookie god of love, has a fit of indignation. She goes home, digs out her matchmaking book, and is determined to find a couple with a 100% compatibility rate so she can meet this month's quota and get hired full-time.
Aha! Here we have Lu Zhoudu... and...
Wen Yu.
????
With whom???
[Bonus Scene]
Lu Zhoudu's left eyelid has been twitching all day, and he's in a foul mood. But nothing has gone wrong today, so he can't even find an excuse to lose his temper.
Then, just as he's leaving work, Wen Yu approaches him with a red thread.
"Could you let me tie this around you?" Wen Yu blinks innocently, telling the most blatant lie with the purest expression. "It won't affect you at all. Just let me tie it around you... It'll only take a moment..."
Lu Zhoudu: "..."
Wait, do you really think I don't know what this is?
#Aaaah, am I hiring an employee or the Matchmaking God?
#Oh, so I'm hiring my own wife
