Not long after starting work, Song Pearl came to Manager Gao's office with the data report.
"You got here pretty quickly!" Manager Gao praised Song Pearl and then glanced at the somewhat messy report. "While there's still time, organize it into an electronic version for me. If you have any questions, ask Gao Xiaoxia."
After giving her clear instructions, Manager Gao turned his attention to the computer, and Song Pearl exited the manager's office.
The Sales Department office was empty except for Gao Xiaoxia, who was quietly munching on sunflower seeds with her head down. When she saw Song Pearl come out of the manager's office, she waved at her, "Come here!"
Gao Xiaoxia wanted to remind Song Pearl about repaying her money, but Song Pearl thought Gao Xiaoxia was offering to help her and unconsciously smiled. "Xiao Xia, Manager Gao asked for an electronic version. I don't know how to make one; can you help me?"
Gao Xiaoxia looked at Song Pearl as she walked over but couldn't remember what she had intended to say. Hearing her ask for help, she readily agreed, "Sure, I'll help you. I just bought the latest smartphone and haven't used it yet. Since we're good friends, I'll let you try it out first."
Gao Xiaoxia took out a brand-new phone with a cartoon case from her bag and instructed Song Pearl to flip through the report page by page while adjusting the distance for taking pictures.
"Is making an electronic version this troublesome?" Song Pearl watched Gao Xiaoxia's actions with three parts envy and seven parts gratitude. "Thank goodness you have a phone; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to complete the task."
"Don't mention it; helping each other is what we should do," Gao Xiaoxia said somewhat proudly. "Now that you're here, I don't have to do all the cleaning and odd jobs anymore. Helping you out is no trouble at all!"
"Oh," Song Pearl nodded. "How long have you been here?"
"Just over two months. It's much quieter than the Inspection Station; there's not much going on, and I don't have to work night shifts. The only tough part is having to clean twice a week." After taking the photos, Gao Xiaoxia pulled out a charger from her bag, unplugged it, and connected it to the computer.
"Look, this is the data cable; we can transfer the photos to the computer. I'll help you upload them and send them to Manager Gao using your email."
"But I don't have an email!" Song Pearl replied.
"That's not possible; everyone who joins the company has a corporate email account; you just haven't used it before. I just learned how to use mine too; it's easy." Gao Xiaoxia asked Song Pearl, "Do you know how to use a computer?"
"I've only seen one; my school didn't offer any specialized courses," Song Pearl answered.
"Then let me help you with it," Gao Xiaoxia said enthusiastically. "Everyone in my family has a computer... Look, it's done," she pointed at a folder on the computer screen and frowned slightly. "It's this Han Village Production; it seems like there might be some trouble..."
"Oh, then can you send it from my email?"
"Sure! Follow me; your account will be your name, and the initial password is all the same. Since your name is Song Pearl, there's probably no one else with that name." While operating the computer, Gao Xiaoxia continued explaining, "See? It's opened! You've never logged in before; look at all these unread emails!"
Song Pearl sat next to Gao Xiaoxia and nodded at the yellow envelopes on the screen.
"Here, I've sent it for you. Change your password, and next time you can access your email by yourself. We are officially office workers now, and you need to know these basic computer operations." Gao Xiaoxia patiently explained step by step. After finishing, she stood up from her seat and let Song Pearl sit down, her lips always curling into a gentle smile.
"Thank you." Song Pearl thanked Gao Xiaoxia for changing the password for her email. As she stood up, she remembered something and took out the remaining money from her bag, handing it to Gao Xiaoxia. "I still have one hundred eighty left from the money I borrowed this morning. You can keep it for now, and I'll return the forty I owe you tomorrow."
Gao Xiaoxia took the money in her hand, hugged Song Pearl, and patted her back several times. "Song Pearl, you're so nice! Thank you for returning the money. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me!"
"Okay."
Song Pearl felt a bit overwhelmed by Gao Xiaoxia's enthusiasm. She had always thought that Gao Xiaoxia didn't care about money, but seeing her so happy about getting the money back made her realize that returning money on time was indeed necessary.
Just as Song Pearl managed to escape Gao Xiaoxia's enthusiastic hug and returned to her desk, the manager's office door opened. Manager Gao stood at the door of the Sales Department office and shouted, "Song Pearl, what did you send me?!"
Both Song Pearl and Gao Xiaoxia shivered at the same time.
"Huh? What?" Song Pearl was startled and jumped up from her seat, her face showing confusion and innocence. "Wasn't it the electronic version? I already sent it to you."
"Electronic version! Electronic version! Have you never learned basic office software operations? Do you understand? You're such a clueless rookie! And Human Resources Department too—what kind of people are they sending over here!" Manager Gao's chest heaved rapidly as he took a deep breath. "Gao Xiaoxia, come over and help me with those reports."
Song Pearl stood helplessly at her desk, unsure of what to do. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Gao Xiaoxia, who was busy at her computer, seemingly overwhelmed with work. Hearing Manager Gao call her name, she obediently stood up and took the reports she had just photographed into the manager's office.
Once they left, the whole world quieted down. Song Pearl approached the computer that Gao Xiaoxia used, moved the mouse slightly, and found that the computer was locked. She had no choice but to return to her desk and find a cup to get some water.
Just as she picked up the cup and was about to drink, Gao Xiaoxia ran to the door and whispered, "Song Pearl, the manager wants you to clean the conference room; there's a meeting coming up."
"Where is the conference room?" Song Pearl quickly stood up to ask.
"On the third floor in the Third Conference Room." After saying that, Gao Xiaoxia ran back into the manager's office to help.
In the manager's office, Manager Gao had Gao Xiaoxia read out data while he typed rapidly with his fingers flying across the keyboard.
"Xiao Xia, didn't Song Pearl ask you how to create an electronic version just now? A common electronic version format isn't a secret; look at what this has turned into!"
Gao Xiaoxia smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I helped her with this; I thought this was what an electronic version looked like..."
Manager Gao looked at Gao Xiaoxia helplessly with an expression of disappointment. "You know, wherever you go, you're more trouble than help. Besides your looks being okay, everything else is just like a pig! Please don't let it be my sister!"
Leaders attending the meeting began to arrive as Song Pearl delivered cleaning tools to the janitor's room.
"Um... Pearl," Manager Gao called out to her, "change all the brewed tea and bring the coffee pot for everyone."
"I just poured the tea..." Song Pearl murmured, "It's not good to do this now that everyone is seated, right?"
Manager Gao shot a glare at Song Pearl. "What's wrong with that? Our Sales Department has always used coffee during meetings. You're new and don't know, so I'm criticizing you. Change it immediately while the Director hasn't arrived yet!"
"Oh."
Song Pearl quickly entered the conference room, took away all the teacups with the tea tray, and replaced them with new cups to brew coffee.
"You can just listen in here!"
When everything was ready, the cool and handsome Director Qing pushed open the conference room door and walked in. Manager Gao glanced at Song Pearl critically. "You can sit in the back and listen in, but be ready to refill coffee for everyone."
Song Pearl nodded and quietly sat down in a corner chair.
