Chapter 208 Cinder’s Gift

I was so thankful that I met that kind of doctor when I desperately needed help.

Although the doctor’s joke he told sucked, he not only took me to the healthy and organic snack area but also told me the general location of the products here.

In our simple conversation, I was surprised to find that we had a fairly high tacit agreement on food ingredients.

I almost just followed his habit to find the products I wanted!

When I successfully finished my shopping and walked out of the supermarket, I bowed to him very sincerely, “Thank you very much, Dr. Adenauer. Are you free later? Let me buy you coffee.”

“Don’t worry about it. I have something else to do. Goodbye.” The blond doctor waved goodbye handsomely. After I watched him go, I got back to my new car and started navigating.

I didn’t pay much attention to this supermarket incident. After my first weekend in Germany, I showed up at Lab Three at 7:55 on the next Monday morning in a dark dress suit with simple but exquisite makeup I was grateful to Charlotte for telling me a lot about German workplace culture in advance, such as workplace attire, cupcakes for new employees, short lunch breaks, written culture, etc.

Of course, the most classic was certainly the Germans’ unusually persistent concept of time. An employee should arrive five minutes earlier, and it was not common to see one enter the office ten minutes earlier or just on time.

Therefore, when it was working time, the personnel of the entire Lab Three had all already arrived. And I distributed the prepared cupcakes to each new colleague.

Just then, the door opened, and Dr. Archer appeared.

Dr. Archer was the general manager of Lab Three as well as our immediate superior. He was a middle-aged married man with a ruddy complexion, but his weight was hovering on the edge of obesity

I thought that Dr. Archer would formally introduce me to all the colleagues in Lab Three as usual, but he didn’t!

Dr. Archer was here to see me, “I hope you can submit a report to me half an hour before you get off work today, including how much time you will need to familiarize yourself with the new job position and your preliminary plan for the current position.”

I looked him in the eyes and nodded hesitantly.

Dr. Archer nodded, and then briefly introduced my identity and job responsibilities to everyone.

They all applauded.
