Chapter 8

However, as a well-established media platform that has emerged independently from the Southern media system, Caijing Weekly is difficult to enter and exit. The number of new recruits in the editorial department, which is a core functional position, is very limited each year.

Annoying

I would not wear it even at an important moment

Only this year, she almost could not graduate

Her eyes shifted, a multitude of thoughts surging within her, while Shi Yan's gaze lightly swept over her silhouette before he ultimately closed the magazine

Kong Nan looked down, and it was clear that the overall GPA was completely insufficient to mention. In the resume section, even the campus singer competition was listed, which shows that there was truly nothing noteworthy to present. The entire university experience was just a matter of getting by.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I will go and get it myself

I see that she is having quite a good time playing

Since middle school, Qin Shiyue has had a realization—that the money in her family would last for three generations without being spent.

Oh, automatic door

Thus, she was originally reaching out to open the door, but with a thought, she simply decided to support the door instead

Zheng Shuyi simply lay down on the table and stopped speaking

Next to it is a black handbag and a goose yellow scarf

Regardless of why his taste is at odds with his own temperament, it is sufficient to find a point of entry and engage in conversation vigorously

Qin Shi Yue nodded slightly, "Alright"

Although it was made of plastic, it was already the most precious item in my home at that time

Zheng Shuyi's gaze was initially directed straight into the living room in search of someone, but after taking a couple of steps inside, she felt an inexplicable sense of presence drawing her attention, and she immediately shifted her gaze to the left.

Who would have thought that just a few days later, the banquet on that side would directly arrange for her to work at "Finance Weekly" in a clear and straightforward manner

What happened to plastic

Qin Dynasty Moon : `` ... ... ''

You should look at her grades and resume

I am extremely annoyed

Since leaving home until now, the journey has been smooth without encountering any traffic jams, which has given her an overwhelming sense of unreality regarding how easy it has been

After receiving the recording, Zheng Shuyi said: "This is an interview recording I made some time ago. Please organize the content carefully and draft a preliminary version. I need it before you leave work."

Qin Dynasty Moon : `` ... ... ''

Zheng Shuyi turned her head to look at Qin Shiyue

My grandmother has wrapped many layers of silk scarves for several years, and she usually is reluctant to take them out and wear them

... ...

If you have a girlfriend, you should have said so earlier

Shiyan raised her eyebrows: "My girlfriend?"

Incredible, incredible

Qin Shiyue walked out of the study, peering around: "Who is here? Why do I hear a woman's voice speaking?"

On a cool night, Zheng Shuyi sat in the car, passing through the bustling traffic shrouded in neon lights, and after half an hour, arrived at the entrance of Bogang Yunwan.

She thought for a moment and decided to assign Qin Shiyue some light tasks first

Thus, Zheng Shuyi decided to be reborn from the awkwardness of this moment

How could there be several music albums by Song Yuelan at the banquet at home

This "almost" does not refer to her grades being poor, but rather that she was caught by the school for hiring a proxy.

Shi Yan withdrew his gaze and turned to return to the balcony

She put on her headphones, exported the audio file, and when she saw the file name "Interview Recording of the Time Banquet 12.10", she was momentarily stunned, and soon the feeling of fear dominated by her uncle began to spread.

Shi Yan did not say much, and Qin Shi Yue also quietly breathed a sigh of relief

However, going to work was nothing short of a bolt from the blue for Qin Shiyue

"Study abroad?" He didn't even lift his eyes, his tone extremely indifferent, "Do you even deserve these two words?"

Zheng Shuyi ultimately could not bring herself to speak.

With such a sincere tone, even Lu Yu would be convinced

Such a background is undoubtedly that of a second-generation rich person

After all, she has never feared anything since childhood, except for Shi Yan

Zheng Shuyi leaned against the sofa, and the silence around her was so profound that she could even hear the sound of the humidifier beside her releasing mist

After each sentence, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone

Shi Yan leaned against the table, his white shirt creased in several places due to the slight arch of his back. He lowered his gaze, scrutinizing Zheng Shuyi's expression, "Are you leaving just like this?"

The uniformed guards stood on either side of the platform, resembling two small white poplars, motionless except for their eyes.

Misunderstanding

I cannot sleep without seeing it

Her voice weakened, not as an act, but because she truly felt that the situation was very awkward

Oh? What is good about it

On my way here, I encountered some inconvenient matters. May I borrow something from your girlfriend?

It is said that the supervisor of the neighboring real estate team did not look favorably upon a certain resume

Although Zheng Shuyi's voice sounds emotional, her face remains completely expressionless in front of the banquet when she is not present.

The sunk costs she incurred some time ago can be disregarded; if she truly has a girlfriend, then she must interrupt her plans

The sixth sense from a woman suddenly engulfed Zheng Shuyi's mind, with all intentions pointing towards a single outcome

Without obtaining a definitive answer, it is also difficult to let go

Ten minutes later, Zheng Shuyi was already standing in front of Shi Yan's house. Before raising her hand to press the doorbell, she first pressed her hand against her chest.

The sound of footsteps approached from a distance, and everyone in the finance team turned around to see HR walking over with a young woman.

Zheng Shuyi propped her chin up, her brows and eyes drooping down

Zheng Shuyi's mind was filled with the simultaneous buzzing of thousands of bees

The young girl looks beautiful from a distance, and her attire, even without close inspection, exudes a sense of sophistication. She emanates an air of elegance, yet there seems to be a lack of the excitement typically associated with someone who has just entered the workforce in her eyes

My ancestors were poor, and life was hard at that time. They were farmers and had not seen much of the world

Zheng Shuyi let out a sigh of relief

Shi Yan, following Zheng Shuyi's intention, glanced back at the room and, upon retracting his gaze, let out a very faint smile.

However, it is still a task assigned by the editor-in-chief, and Zheng Shuyi cannot simply disregard it.

Kong Nan opened the resume and glanced at the identification photo

After sitting down, Zheng Shuyi began to busy herself with revising the interview script for the banquet. Once she immersed herself in it, she lost track of time. After a while, Kong Nan cleared his throat twice, signaling her to check her phone

It has changed the daily lives of humanity, becoming the greatest invention, yet at one point it was regarded as the worst invention due to environmental pollution. Is it a contemporary tyrant that you look down upon?

After a long period of self-talk and tail-wagging pleas, Qin Shiyue ultimately received only a single response

Zheng Shuyi shrugged and tossed the resume to her

It was only when she was about to apply lipstick in front of the mirror that a thought crossed her mind, and she set the lipstick down

Given her understanding of the housing prices in this area, it is absolutely impossible for it to be the residence of Assistant Chen Sheng

Kong Nan: That intern has been playing on her phone for over an hour. I see she looks quite lost. You should at least assign her some tasks to do.

She slowly crouched down, looking at Shi Yan in a flattering manner

She opened the wardrobe, quickly changed out of the clothes she had worn all day, and then walked to the dressing table, where she grabbed the shade of lipstick that had been praised the most by men from a row of lipsticks

Then—

Then, she opened the audio and saw that it was 120 minutes long, and a sense of fear spread to her chest

Then I raised my eyebrows while looking further down at the school section

Zheng Shuyi immediately turned around and walked over

But this time, even Qin Xiaoming, who had always indulged her, darkened his face.

Hello, my name is Qin Shiyue, and I look forward to your guidance

The HR pursued efficiency, bringing the person before Zheng Shuyi, briefly explaining the matter in a few words before leaving

Hello, my name is Zheng Shuyi, and I look forward to a pleasant cooperation

The grades were naturally insufficient, and the family was indeed dissatisfied at the time, but there was nothing they could do. They exerted great effort to send her to a prestigious university abroad for a gilded experience

But since we are already here

The clock's second hand moved three times, and then the voice of Chen Sheng echoed again on the phone

As she walked in through the main door, the night was cold, and her nose was reddened from the chill

During the Qin Dynasty, when he saw the moon, he seemed to be in a good mood, so he hurriedly approached and asked, "Who is it? Is it your girlfriend?"

Our family does not raise useless individuals

Thus, she spent her high school years indulging without guilt, having memorized only a few chemical formulas, while her understanding of cosmetic ingredients surpassed that of her chemistry teacher

Bypassing the porch, there is still some distance to the living room, while the open balcony on the side is actually closer

confused

With a bang, the fleeing figure vanished, leaving the room in silence

Marquez also stated that as we traverse the ancient journey of life, we must run through the hardships and be reborn from the setbacks

What is the situation? Kong Nan asked her to show her the resume, "Does the editor-in-chief mean for you to mentor the newcomers?"

At the same time, she noticed a white cashmere coat placed on the sofa beside her

If it were someone sensible, it would be fine, but looking at that resume, it is clearly impossible

There is a woman in this house

Zheng Shuyi

She has never attended classes on time for the college entrance examination, and now she has to work from nine to five for an internship salary of a few thousand yuan a month

Zheng Shuyi watched her actions and sighed quietly

Zheng Shuyi raised her eyes and saw Shi Yan staring at her with a serious expression, as if in a meeting, yet the tone of his voice struck her as somewhat frivolous.

Zheng Shuyi tidied her hair and pressed the doorbell

As Zheng Shuyi reached out, she caught a glimpse of a pile of familiar items on the cabinet behind the table

When she came out, she had an additional resume in her hand

Moreover, even if she has a girlfriend, she still barges in when others are enjoying their time together, and in the end, she won't even know how she met her demise

Shi Yan sat down on the chair, picked up the magazine that he had not finished reading, and simultaneously cast a cool glance at Qin Shi Yue.

Shi Yan glanced at the cabinet, and before he could respond, Zheng Shuyi said again: "What a coincidence, I really like her! I have all the albums you collected."

"Xiao Yue," Zheng Shuyi handed her a voice recorder, "This is for you"

According to Murphy's Law, something unfortunate is bound to happen at such times

Shi Yan lowered his head, casually unbuttoning his cuff.

The living room is devoid of overhead lights, with the night sky serving as a backdrop like thick ink, while the halo of the floor lamp illuminates a corner, soft and tranquil

Shall I bring it to you

Isn't the educational background more impressive? After all, they are alumni with our chief editor, a top student. What are you worried about?

I have thought it over, perhaps I should not go to work for now, should I go abroad for study abroad programs

... ...

What misunderstanding has arisen

Then, she began to listen

The sooner, the better

After all, it is a plastic product, which is prone to damage

The plastic pearl earring is placed on a side table, still faintly glowing in the night.

Shi Yansong loosened the cuffs of his sleeves, placed his hands back at the sides of his trousers, leaned against the edge of the table, and exuded an air of relaxation as he leisurely observed Zheng Shuyi

In the end, she not only did not reapply her lipstick, but instead wiped off the original one

At the banquet, she sat under the light, leaning against the armchair, her legs stretched out straight, tilting her head to flip through a magazine in her hand

Although Song Yuelan is indeed very popular, a hall-of-fame level pop singer in the music industry, she is also in her forties this year and does not seem to align with the musical tastes of the younger generation

... ...

No

young woman

On WeChat

After lunch, Tang Yi called Zheng Shuyi into the office

Until the wind stirred, Shi Yan's gaze left the magazine and, raising her eyes, she saw Zheng Shuyi's long hair being gently lifted by the breeze

Zheng Shuyi felt completely relaxed, yet her palms remained warm, murmuring to herself: "That's good..."

"Yes, yes! It would be unfortunate if your niece misunderstood, so I will take my leave now." The sudden panic caused Zheng Shuyi's voice to sound strange, "Please rest early."

She looked at the room, and the sense of tension surprisingly surpassed that of her first job interview.

December is the recruitment season for major enterprises, and Caijing Weekly is no exception. The national autumn recruitment for universities concluded last week, and the HR personnel and interviewers who were on business trips have returned to their posts, beginning preparations to welcome the arrival of fresh graduates

It is too late, I won't disturb you. Zheng Shuyi nodded at him and turned to leave

Meanwhile, footsteps echoed in the room

She now has to work and also put in a tremendous amount of effort to organize the banquet, how can she have the energy to train newcomers

The first question answered by Shi Yan consists of a total of 378 characters, all in Chinese, with standard pronunciation

Shiyan's girlfriend

A few minutes later, Zheng Shuyi received a text message containing a string of addresses

That ... ...

Understood

At that moment, she suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze lingering on her face

After a moment of inexplicable silence, Zheng Shuyi did not avoid her gaze and naturally brought up the topic, "Shi Zong, do you like Song Lelan?"

There was a feeling of wanting to be torn apart, and Zheng Shuyi's face flushed red. She grabbed her earrings and prepared to retreat: "I won't disturb you any longer, I will take my leave now"

Zheng Shuyi could not help but turn back to take a glance at Shi Yan, only to unexpectedly meet his gaze.

As the voice fell, the person had already walked out, leaving a force that closed the door behind them

Zheng Shuyi momentarily remained silent, breaking the oil painting-like scene.

However, there was no one behind the door

The whole family works hard to earn money, so there must be someone to spend it. It is quite evident that she is the chosen one for that role

Miss Zheng, when do you need it?

Zheng Shuyi was taken aback, not expecting that there were other people in this house

However, as she reached the door, she furrowed her brow, and the ripples in her heart were difficult to calm.

Is there any effect in getting a haircut two months before the Lunar New Year?

She stiffly tugged at the progress bar, listened to some of the content behind it, and nearly fainted on the spot

Two individuals, their bodies covered in the word 'rejected', introduce themselves with plastic smiles

Zheng Shuyi had no energy to think about how to answer Yan's question, and even wished she could turn back time by an hour; she absolutely did not want to come here

After being annoyed at the workstation for twenty minutes, what was bound to happen finally occurred

She just does not understand why people must strive

The call ended just like that, without saying anything

This address pierced Zheng Shuyi's mind like a thorn, shattering all ulterior motives. In an instant, her crown felt numb, her soles ached, her fingertips curled, and every cell in her body was clamoring for her to leave

His glasses were coated with a layer of fine golden light, resting on the bridge of his nose, creating a striking contrast with his skin tone

As their gazes met, Zheng Shuyi stepped forward, brushed her hair back, and said, "Mr. Shi, I have come to collect something."

By that time, Qin Shiyue finally understood that her actions had truly touched the reverse scale of Shiyan.

With lowered eyes, the gaze shifts, and the ears flush with embarrassment.

It is already December, Uncle. "The moon of the Qin dynasty seems to cry without tears. There are only two months left until the New Year. Shall we wait until after the New Year to discuss it?"

She looked a little longer, seemingly in disbelief

Oh, niece

She stared at those words for a while—Bohang Yunwan, indeed it was the Bohang Yunwan she knew

As she spoke, she walked in front of him, her eyes crescent-shaped, "Which of her songs do you like the most?"

Zheng Shuyi's blush had not faded, and her voice had softened considerably, sounding as if she was about to speak of something difficult to articulate

Zheng Shu approached the window of the security booth, where the young security guard engaged her in a brief conversation. After registering her identification card, he allowed her to pass.

Oh, will my niece not misunderstand?

The gazes of the two individuals crossed from a distance

Wait, niece?!

After a moment, the door slowly opened. Zheng Shuyi, with her eyes lowered, smiled first before looking up

Zheng Shuyi turned over and jumped up, rushing into the bedroom

After the lunch break, the HR approached with new office supplies, placing them on the empty workstation next to Zheng Shuyi, and began checking whether the computer was functioning properly

She smiled and stepped inside

On the financial team side, news spreads quickly. It is said that this year has yielded good results, and two individuals are expected to arrive in the afternoon

As Zheng Shuyi was only a step away from leaving the banquet, she suddenly heard a commotion coming from a certain room

Then, she turned around slowly and looked at Shi Yan, who was still in the living room

I was terrified

Shi Yan raised her chin, indicating for her to go to the table and get it herself

Tang insisted that she could not refuse, stating that this task must be assigned to her, and claimed that it was all for her own good

The school's persistence and the protracted negotiations with the Shi family have finally allowed her to barely obtain her degree certificate

Shi Yan discovered that she had not left, so she also stopped and turned to look at her

If I were to encounter that mistress at this moment, what would there be left to enjoy

The flickering gaze, the flushed face, and this subtly meaningful phrase "That's good" reveal her thoughts clearly.

I am afraid I will be torn apart, what do you think is good?

Not bad, the person is very beautiful

Kong Nan returned the resume to Zheng Shuyi, laughing with glee: "The editor-in-chief is really good to you, throwing such a hot potato into your hands, something that cannot be scolded or criticized."

The moon of the Qin dynasty suddenly fell silent

His answer was ambiguous, and Zheng Shuyi naturally had to get to the bottom of it, "Isn't the person in the room your girlfriend?"

in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings

However, during the Qin Dynasty, Yue understood a total of 50 characters, which is not even a fraction.

Shi Yan seemed to have not heard her speak at all

Isn't that just dictation? Alright, it's not too troublesome
