within Temptation

Chapter 77 Common Preferences

After work at noon the next day, I hurried to Yigao Digital Plaza without eating any food, and bought a domestically produced MP300 for more than 3 yuan.Then I returned to the company in a hurry, wanting to use the company computer to download some Xu Shu's songs online before going to work in the afternoon.

Just in time, when I came back, the company was empty and there was no one there.So, I quickly turned on the computer, inserted the MP3 player, and then searched the Internet to find all Xu Shu's songs that could be downloaded.

The company has clearly stipulated that during working hours, employees are not allowed to use the company's computer for entertainment or to handle private affairs.And in principle, employees are not allowed to use computers for entertainment during break time.But the rules are rules, as long as the leader can't see, not to mention during break time, even during work, there are many people who use the company computer to browse the Internet or even chat on QQ.

I can be regarded as a person who abides by the company's rules. Under normal circumstances, I will never violate these rules.But today, in order to surprise my sister, I had to do this.Because apart from using the company computer, I really have no place to download songs.Besides, I only plan to do it during the noon break. When it comes to work time, I will consciously stop.

However, downloading songs from the Internet requires a certain amount of time for each song.In addition, it will take some time for me to search and search, so more than ten minutes have passed before I downloaded five songs.At this time, it was not far from the afternoon work time, so I couldn't help feeling a little anxious.I know that the company has not officially opened yet, and no one will continue to use the computer to work after work in the afternoon.If no one uses the computer, then the company will cut off the network connection, and even if I want to download, I have no chance.

And I only downloaded a few songs, if I just handed it over to Yingying, she must be dissatisfied, right?
While I was in a hurry, I continued to download another song by Xu Shu, which was called "In the Blindness".When the download progress bar was just halfway through, suddenly, there was a familiar sound of high-heeled shoes walking at the door.No rush, no delay, very charming.In our company, apart from the boss Tang Xiaoru, there will be no other person who is so cultivated just by listening to the sound of walking.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly clicked Close with the mouse, preparing to exit the download program.But, it's still too late.Tang Xiaoru's footsteps had already come in, and after a pause, she came towards me immediately.

I heard Tang Xiaoru smile and said, "Dai Yong, are you alone?"

My scalp tingled for a while. Although Tang Xiaoru and I have a good relationship, she is also my boss after all.It is always embarrassing for my boss to find out that I am using the company computer for personal business.

While hastily unplugging the MP3 plugged into the USB port, I directly pressed the switch on the computer monitor.Then he turned around and stood up, and said with a guilty smile, "Ah...Mr. Tang, hello!"

Of course the alert Tang Xiaoru noticed my movements and expressions, with a half-smile on her beautiful face, she looked at my computer and then at my hand holding the MP3 player.

Although the MP3 was held in my palm, the earphone cable exposed outside and the box I put on the table betrayed me.As smart as Tang Xiaoru, how could he not notice?Sure enough, Tang Xiaoru smiled slightly and said, "The MP3 you just bought? What brand is it?"

I sweat!Now, it's really useless to say anything.Instead of lying to deceive the leader, it is better to admit it directly.Anyway, it's not a big mistake, and it's just a couple of criticisms at most.

So, I had to smile awkwardly, opened my hands, and said embarrassedly: "China-made Feike is very cheap."

Tang Xiaoru seemed to be very interested in picking it up, looked at it for a while, and said, "Can I listen to it? What song did you download?"

Of course I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to say: "I played it casually, listen to it, how's the sound quality?"

Tang Xiaoru hummed, put on the earphones unceremoniously, pressed the play button, and listened with squinted eyes.After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "Yes, the effect is pretty good. But... which website did you download this Xu Shu song from? The sound doesn't seem authentic."

I said, "Really? I searched for it on the Internet, and I don't know where it is better."

Tang Xiaoru listened for a while, then pressed the jump button again, and the next song came. One minute later, I watched her press the keys continuously, and seemed to have listened to all the five songs I downloaded.Then, she smiled and said to me: "I never expected that you are still a fan of Xu Shu?"

I can only smile wryly, I am not a fan of Xu Shu, usually I hardly listen to music, let alone these popular songs.However, I don't want to explain so much to Tang Xiaoru.Instead, I use the company's computer for my own personal affairs, so I have to do some self-examination.

So I coughed and said, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, from now on... I won't use the company's computer to download songs..."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Xiaoru laughed and said, "Did I say anything to you? Do you think I'm the kind of boss who doesn't make sense at all?"

I had no choice but to be speechless, and I didn't know what to say next.

Tang Xiaoru raised her wrist, looked at the time, and said, "However, if it's working hours, I have to criticize you. After all, the company's computers are for work, not for entertainment, right?"

I can only nod to show that the leader is right.Tang Xiaoru laughed again, turned around, walked towards her temporary office with my MP3, and said at the same time: "Come with me, I'm going to work soon, I guess you won't be able to download a few songs. Just right I have a lot of your idol's songs, you don't need to download them, just copy them."

I was stunned, thinking about the meaning of Tang Xiaoru's words, but when she came to the door of her office, she suddenly turned around and said, "Come here quickly, do you still want me to copy it for you myself?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I finally realized that Tang Xiaoru didn't blame me, and seemed to help me fill up the MP3.This woman, I... I always thought that she was a very clear-cut person. Even if I was friends with her in private, as long as I violated the company's regulations, she would never be polite to me.

Surprised and delighted, I hurried over and said, "Mr. Tang, do you have Xu Shu's song?"

Tang Xiaoru pushed open the door of her office and said with a smile, "Of course, when I was in college, I was already a fan of Xu Shu. I didn't expect that we still have common hobbies?"

PS: In this chapter, I originally wrote a long paragraph about how the protagonist buys MP3, and then, I planned to arrange for him to meet Fei Leina in the digital plaza by accident.But... I thought about a few reasons why Fei Leina would appear at this time, and they all felt very far-fetched.In the end, I was really dissatisfied, so I simply changed the plot and stopped writing.Therefore, the number of words in this chapter is a little less, please forgive me.The character Felena, I hope to write her with flesh and blood and a fuller image.It can't be like a vase that everyone forgets after seeing it.Therefore, I have to think carefully about what story will happen between her and the protagonist, and I can't be sloppy.
