CHAPTER 248: CHAPTER 139: MAKING AN IMPRESSION (SECOND MAJOR UPDATE)

Most people are pretty decent; though a bit self-preserving, they don’t have any malice, let alone any intent to harm.

A small number of people, well, it’s normal for them not to like her.

If she weren’t Lawrence Winters, knowing that someone landed such a good job right out of college, she too would feel envious and bitter and maybe blacken their reputation a little.

Thinking this way, she felt much more balanced.

Back in the office, she sipped her green tea, suddenly feeling a bit uneasy.

The feeling wasn’t obvious, but her heart started beating faster than usual, and her palms started sweating.

She was very familiar with this feeling.

It’s the kind of feeling she’d often get when unexpected things happened while checking feng shui with her uncle.

What could possibly happen?

Lawrence Winters first thought of her mom and uncle.

She immediately sent a message to their small group chat called "Warm Family".

[Nora]: Mom, Uncle, are you at home? Or are you out?

Quickly, her mom and uncle replied.

[Mom]: At home, what’s up?

[Uncle]: Lawrence, is something wrong? Tell Uncle quickly! Uncle will help you!

Lawrence Winters laughed and responded promptly: Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s wrong, I just suddenly thought of you guys. Cute.JPG.

[Mom]: You silly child, you’re almost off work. Want Uncle to drive over to pick you up?

[Uncle]: What time do you finish work, I’ll pick you up.

Lawrence Winters replied: No need. Kenneth took me this morning. He will pick me up to go home. See you tonight! Kiss.JPG.

After exiting the small group, she thought for a moment and sent Kenneth Osborne a WeChat message.

[Nora]: Kenneth, my sweetie, open the door. Knock knock.JPG.

Kenneth Osborne quickly replied: What’s up? Is something going on?

[Nora]: Kenneth, what are you doing?

[Kenneth]: I’m working on natural language software optimization. Are you very free? Nothing to do?

Kenneth Osborne thought Lawrence Winters wouldn’t chat with him idly during work hours.

Sending a message at this time must mean something’s up.

Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong this time.

Lawrence Winters laughed and replied: I have things to do, just missing you. Cute.JPG.

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

Is it the kind of missing like a friend, or like a lover?

There’s a fundamental difference between the two.

Kenneth Osborne touched his chin, ultimately not asking such a question, and instead also sent an emoji: Two bunnies hugging and kissing.JPG.

Lawrence Winters: ...

Getting teased, huh, who’s afraid of who?

When it comes to emoji battles, she wasn’t scared!

Lawrence Winters immediately fired back with an animation emoji: Two bunnies doing unspeakable things.JPG.

Kenneth Osborne: "!!!"

Couldn’t watch any longer.

[Kenneth]: Don’t send inappropriate images. I need to work, be good. Pat on the head.JPG.

Seeing that Kenneth Osborne wasn’t busy either, Lawrence Winters felt completely at ease.

As long as her loved ones were okay, everything was alright.

Her attention returned to the videos of government spokespersons on her computer. She reviewed every sentence, comprehended each word and expression, then cross-referenced it with what she learned in her public relations textbooks, feeling she gained a lot.

Time flies when you’re focused on work.

Unknowingly, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon.

She stood up, stretched lazily, walked around the office, shook her arms, kicked her legs, looked at the angle of sunlight outside, and calculated how long until she could go home after work.

Looking again at the window that no one had yet come to measure for curtains, she walked back to her desk, pressed Director Hao’s internal line, using the loudspeaker.

In an instant, the whole floor could hear her voice.

She calmly said: "Director Hao, this is Lawrence Winters. I applied for curtains this morning and was told they’d be up before I leave for the day. It’s four-thirty in the afternoon now, where are my curtains?"

If measurements were taken in the morning, they would definitely be ready by the afternoon.

Nowadays, there are countless small businesses making custom curtains, offering excellent service.

Especially for a big company like NewHuman Corporation, just a phone call and countless small businesses would come running, eager to do business.

Therefore, when Lawrence Winters said she applied in the morning and wanted them up by the end of the day, no one thought she was being too picky.

Director Hao was packing up to go home for the weekend.

She was humming a tune, in a great mood when suddenly she heard the loudspeaker in the corridor, like a broadcast. Her name was plainly announced by the voice of that new spokesperson, carrying a bit of authority.

Director Hao’s song came to an abrupt halt.

She cleared her ears, squinted her eyes, and looked up at the ceiling where the speaker was, frowning, she said: "...Was that calling me?"

"We only have one Director Hao working here, who else would it be calling?" the cashier said softly, "You better go have a look."
