Chapter 313 [Wind Chaser 12]
The next morning, the bright sunshine shone through the window like a golden veil, gently falling on the desk, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the entire room.
Wei Ruolai walked towards the central bank with steady steps as he did in the past, ready to start a new day.
As soon as he entered the office, Huang Congyun was already sitting at his desk busy. He saw Wei Ruolai coming in and said casually, "Ruolai, please pour me a glass of water, thank you!"
Wei Ruolai nodded to show his agreement, then turned and walked towards the water dispenser.
However, Wei Ruolai was a little different today. For some reason, his mind didn't seem to be here. His eyes were confused, as if he was lost in his own thoughts. He looked like he had lost his soul and was listless.
When he returned to his seat with the cup full of water, perhaps because he was distracted, his hand shook carelessly and most of the cup of water spilled on the table. The water stain quickly spread, but fortunately there was nothing important next to it.
Huang Congyun's eyes widened when he saw the scene in front of him, his face full of astonishment. He frowned and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Wei Ruolai, Wei Ruolai, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you have lost your soul? With your current dazed state, how can we expect you to help the master with his affairs? You are too unreliable and careless in doing things!"
At this moment, Wei Ruolai suddenly came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked blankly at the water stains on the table, stood up in a hurry, with a panic expression on his face, and stammered to apologize to Huang Congyun: "I'm sorry, Secretary Huang, I just thought of something else unconsciously, and my mind was distracted for a while, and I didn't pay attention to the situation around me. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. I will be more careful in the future. Please forgive me for my negligence this time."
Huang Congyun looked at Wei Ruolai carefully, his eyes revealing a hint of concern, and asked softly: "Did you not get enough rest last night? If necessary, I can suggest to Mr. that you take a day off to recuperate."
Hearing this, Wei Ruolai's heart suddenly tightened, and he waved his hands hurriedly, repeatedly declining: "No need, Secretary Huang, it's just some minor troubles, nothing serious. Besides, I have several key documents to submit to the gentleman. Thank you for your concern, I have to get busy first." Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly grabbed the documents on the table and walked quickly towards the door, as if he was eager to get rid of this embarrassing situation.
"Okay, then you can deal with it quickly." Huang Congyun saw this and had no choice but to wave his hand to agree. Watching Wei Ruolai's figure gradually going away, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, thinking secretly in his heart: What's wrong with this man today? I hope he can recover as soon as possible, but don't make any trouble.
So, Wei Ruolai walked towards Shen Tunan's office very lightly, as if he was afraid of waking up a sleeping beast. As he walked, he silently prayed in his heart that this report would be passed smoothly.
When he finally arrived at Shen Tunan's office door, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and knocked on the door gently. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and walked into the room with light steps.
After entering the room, Wei Ruolai carefully placed the documents in his hand on the table, trying not to make any noise. Then, he stood aside quietly like a child who had made a mistake, lowering his head, waiting for Shen Tunan's instructions.
Shen Tunan picked up the document and read it carefully. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and no slight mistake could escape his eyes. Suddenly, his brows knitted tightly, and his eyes were fixed on a certain place. Then, he slowly raised his head, stared at Wei Ruolai with his sharp eyes, and asked coldly: "Ruolai, have you encountered any troubles recently?"
Hearing this, Wei Ruolai's heart skipped a beat, but he still tried to remain calm and pretended to be composed as he answered, "No, sir. Everything is normal, nothing special happened." However, only he himself knew that his heart was already in turmoil at this moment.
Shen Tunan stared at Wei Ruolai expressionlessly, as if he wanted to penetrate his body and reach the depths of his soul. Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, Shen Tunan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile, but his eyes were still cold and serious.
"Look for yourself, you can even miss such an obvious typo! Such carelessness is a big taboo in writing!" His voice was neither too high nor too low, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Wei Ruolai's face flushed red, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly picked up the document and quickly browsed through it, and soon found the forgotten typo. At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, with a face full of shame.
"I'm sorry, sir. This is indeed my mistake. I hope you can forgive me." Wei Ruolai lowered his head and said with a slightly trembling voice.
Shen Tunan waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, this won't happen again. Take this manuscript back and revise it carefully, and then give it back to me."
"Yes, sir." Wei Ruolai nodded repeatedly as if he had been pardoned, and carefully reached out to take the report that made him feel extremely embarrassed.
Shen Tunan handed the report to Wei Ruolai and reminded him, "Be responsible and don't make such mistakes again."
"Yes, sir, I've remembered that." Wei Ruolai responded respectfully, then turned and left the office.
Back at his workstation, Wei Ruolai took a deep breath and reminded himself to learn from his mistakes. He quickly picked up a pen and paper and rewrote the report, making sure every word was correct. After finishing, he carefully checked it several times and confirmed that there were no problems before returning to Shen Tunan's office and handing him the report.
Shen Tunan took the report, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wei Ruo: "You did a good job this time. Keep up this attitude in the future."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. A rickshaw slowly stopped in front of the central bank, the curtain was opened, and Youyou got off gracefully. She was wearing a light blue dress, and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.
Youyou walked straight into the central bank building and headed towards Shen Tunan's office. Along the way, she attracted a lot of attention, but she didn't care. She had only one thought in her mind - to say goodbye to Shen Tunan.
After entering the office, Youyou saw Shen Tunan standing in front of the window, thinking about something. She coughed lightly, which attracted Shen Tunan's attention. Shen Tunan turned around with a smile on his face: "Miss Song, why are you here today?"
Youyou walked up to Shen Tunan with a firm step and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to gather all her courage into this moment. She raised her head, looked at Shen Tunan with a firm and determined gaze, and slowly said, "Brother Shen, after careful consideration, I finally made up my mind to resign from the central bank. In fact, I have not achieved much substantial results in this position, but instead caused you a lot of trouble. However, during this period of time, I have been very grateful for your care!"
Hearing this, Shen Tunan showed a hint of surprise on his face, but soon regained his smile. He responded gently: "Miss Song, you are too kind. You are Mr. Song's sister, and Mr. Song and I have been friends for many years. It is my duty to take care of you. Don't worry about it." After saying that, he gently waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary to worry.
Youyou nodded gratefully and said softly, "Brother Shen, my brother ordered me to return to my hometown in Nanjing this time. I am afraid that I will never come back to Shanghai. Therefore, I came here to say goodbye to you. I am overwhelmed by your kindness. If Brother Shen needs any help in the future, please speak frankly and I will do my best to help you."
After hearing this, Shen Tunan's eyes flashed with a trace of melancholy, but he returned to peace in a moment. He then patted Youyou's shoulder and said with a pleasant face: "This is all friendship, how can I thank you? Since you have decided to go, I wish you a smooth journey! As for your upcoming trip, I will tell Bai Jin the truth. I believe that after knowing it, he will also understand your decision."
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Shen." Youyou thanked him again. She chatted with Shen Tunan for a few more words, then stood up and said goodbye.
The moment she stepped out of the office, Youyou looked back at the building behind her, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. This place carried an unforgettable experience for her, which was short but made her gain a lot. Now, she will embark on a new journey with this precious memory...
