756 -319 Jiang Xinyi’s Confession_2
If only it could stay like this forever.
At night, the cat was in Zhou Yuwen’s arms.
And just like that, the night passed.
By the next morning, Zhou Yuwen drove to the company.
Just after parking, he encountered Jiang Xinyi.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Xinyi had no kind words, remarking, “Oh, President Zhou!
Here so early, I thought after a joyful and carefree night, you wouldn’t show up until the afternoon!”
Zhou Yuwen, bewildered, asked what she was talking about.
Jiang Xinyi snorted and called Zhou Yuwen a jerk.
Not understanding why Jiang Xinyi kept labeling him a jerk, Zhou Yuwen retorted, “As long as I’m not a jerk to you, that’s fine.”
As they walked up the stairs, Jiang Xinyi retorted, “You wish you could be a jerk!
I wouldn’t give you the chance!”
The two of them started bickering.
Jiang Xinyi asked Zhou Yuwen what kind of assistant he had found for her.
Zhou Yuwen praised, “You’ll absolutely like her.
She’s conscientious, possesses strong learning abilities, and she’s also your alumni.”
“Alumni?”
Before entering the office, she heard the word “alumni.”
The figure of a girl suddenly popped into Jiang Xinyi’s head.
Her brows furrowed involuntarily.
She was about to ask if it was Li Shiqi.
However, when she entered the company, she found Li Shiqi already standing there obediently.
In an instant, Jiang Xinyi felt a lump of lead in her heart, a severe discomfort.
“You’re here so early.” When he saw Li Shiqi, Zhou Yuwen was a bit surprised; normally people start work at nine, but it was only eight twenty, a habit Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi were accustomed to arriving early.
But Li Shiqi was even earlier than them.
Li Shiqi was still wearing the white round-neck wool sweater from last night, paired with washed-out jeans, standing there somewhat reserved, yet also a bit lost.
Zhou Yuwen noticed that the office was unusually clean today; the floor was swept, and windows were open.
Desks that weren’t organized yesterday had been tidied up too.
Zhou Yuwen noticed an unputaway broom behind Li Shiqi.
Zhou Yuwen said, “Did you clean all of this?”
Li Shiqi nodded.
Zhou Yuwen said, “You really didn’t have to do this.”
“We usually have the aunts from the campus come clean.”
Li Shiqi shook her head, saying it was no trouble.
“I had nothing to do sitting around, so I just tidied up a bit.”
Zhou Yuwen was very pleased, yet noticed Sister Xinyi had been silent.
Zhou Yuwen then asked, “Sister Xinyi, how do you like the assistant I found you?
Pleased?”
“Oh.”
The always polite Jiang Xinyi, today for some unknown reason, suddenly seemed so impolite, “Are you talking about the new part-time hire?
Is that her?”
Zhou Yuwen said, “Yes, your junior from Nan University, no need to question her work capabilities, Li Shiqi.
Is it okay for Sister Xinyi to mentor you?
Just listen to her then.”
Li Shiqi was very polite, following Zhou Yuwen’s lead and called out “Sister Xinyi.”
They say one shouldn’t slap a smiling face, and although Jiang Xinyi was annoyed, it wasn’t necessary to take it out on Li Shiqi, so she perfunctorily replied, “Fine then.”
Now, work is so busy, there’s no time to think about romance.
Jiang Xinyi indeed needed someone.
Just verifying the purchase orders alone would keep her busy for a good while.
Jiang Xinyi thought, now that Li Shiqi is here, let’s use her.
She wasn’t a petty person.
Upon interacting with her, Li Shiqi indeed proved to be smart.
She was the epitome of a traditional Eastern beauty.
Seemingly delicate on the outside but resilient within, she was decisive in her actions and sought questions when facing uncertainties.
When Jiang Xinyi was teaching Li Shiqi, she unintentionally looked up at her.
Just then, the nine o’clock sun shone through the window.
A few stray hairs on Li Shiqi’s forehead glowed golden in the sunlight.
Li Shiqi’s cheeks seemed to be illuminated as well.
Her bright eyes, fixated on the form Jiang Xinyi was holding, were eager to hear her continue.
Noticing Jiang Xinyi’s silence,
she looked up curiously.
And blinked.
“Ahem!”
Jiang Xinyi blushed, lowering her head and thought to herself, how could she compete with her?
The high school sweetheart.
Perfect age.
Excellent student.
And above all, beautiful.
While working, Jiang Xinyi caught herself staring at Li Shiqi for a good while, watching her bustling about.
Watching her enter Zhou Yuwen’s office.
Zhou Yuwen looked at the forms Li Shiqi had done and praised her, “Well done, Li Shiqi!”
“If I knew you were this capable, I would have brought you into the company sooner.”
“Not at all, I still have much to learn, all thanks to Sister Xinyi’s good instruction,” Li Shiqi humbly replied.
“Her?”
Zhou Yuwen looked up at Jiang Xinyi outside.
Jiang Xinyi pretended not to eavesdrop, feeling guilty.
Zhou Yuwen said, “She’s just average.”
Hisss~
Jiang Xinyi clenched her fists.
Li Shiqi thus joined Zhou Yuwen’s company and because their workdays were so filled with urgent tasks, Jiang Xinyi, despite her irritation with Zhou Yuwen,
did not let it show.
Until that evening.
Zhou Yuwen had placed an order for four thousand sets of bedsheets and quilts with Jiang Xinyi’s uncle.
Jiang Xinyi’s uncle wanted to treat Zhou Yuwen to dinner and of course, she was to accompany him.
Although Jiang Xinyi attended, she didn’t offer Zhou Yuwen a single smile throughout the entire event.
Jiang Xinyi’s uncle, however, was straightforward and liked Zhou Yuwen, complimenting him as a talented individual.
Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi sneered aside, “Uncle, don’t judge a book by its cover.
There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can know a person’s face but not their heart.’
“Oh!”
With that, not only was Zhou Yuwen embarrassed,
her uncle was too, thinking perhaps the young couple was having a spat, or he might’ve said something wrong.
