Cheng Xi did not expect that Ye Bonan would take the initiative to say hello. The Ye family and the Zhou family were in the same circle. The blind date failed and both parties were embarrassed. However, Ye Bonan was calm and magnanimous, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm here for the interview."
Ye Bonan frowned slightly, "Aren't you graduating next year?"
Cheng Xi was speechless for a moment.
Even the nanny of the Zhou family is extremely rich. She is Mrs. Zhou's half-daughter admitted to the outside world. No one will probably believe that she is short of money. She is very short of money.
"There is a lot of competition among fresh graduates, so I'll get a spot in advance."
"It makes sense." Ye Bonan laughed in his throat. He seemed to hate smiling just like Zhou Jingchen. He always had a cold and indifferent face, but he was more approachable than Zhou Jingchen. "Did you succeed?"
"I have arranged an internship in the public relations department."
"Public Relations Department?" Ye Bonan frowned even more and signaled to his subordinates.
The subordinate went to the conference room and called the manager in charge of the interview.
"General Manager Ye." The manager looked quietly between Ye Bonan and Cheng Xi, "Are you looking for me?"
Ye Bonan raised his chin and pointed at Cheng Xi, "New public relations recruit?"
The manager said respectfully, "Yes, crisis public relations."
Crisis public relations and business public relations are very different.
The difference between serious and improper.
However, Ye Bonan still had concerns. After all, he was in the public relations department, so he couldn't avoid drinking and socializing. "Are there any other positions?"
"Operation room, logistics, and programmers are all recruiting people all year round, but Cheng Xi's major is not suitable."
Cheng Xi also understood from the sidelines that Ye Bonan was Joel's major shareholder. He easily kept quiet in Joel, but once he spoke, it was very useful.
"Is the secretarial department okay?" the manager asked.
Ye Bonan has only one request, "Just don't work hard."
The manager smiled, "Xiao Cheng, you know Mr. Ye, you should tell me! You have a tight mouth."
Cheng Xi glanced at Ye Bonan, this was the intelligence and tact of an upper class person.
Don't offend, don't make enemies.
Do your best to make amends.
If the Zhou family continues to hold grudges and make things difficult for the Ye family over the blind date, the Zhou family will lose their dignity.
Mrs. Zhou's reputation will collapse.
After coming out of Qiaoer, Cheng Xi asked Ye Bonan to have dinner.
"The first is to thank you for helping me transfer my job, and the second is to return the money and gifts to you."
"The gift is a courtesy for the first meeting. It's not much money, so there's no need to pay it back." Ye Bonan still refused.
Obviously he didn't want to be involved in the slightest, and he settled things neatly. He was a responsible and aboveboard man.
Cheng Xi didn't force it anymore, "Then I'll choose a gift of the same price and have it delivered to your company by express delivery tomorrow. Remember to sign for it and we'll settle everything."
Ye Bonan was silent for a second, "No contact?"
At this point, Cheng Xi had no face to keep in touch, not to mention that they were not in the same circle and had no common language as friends.
She was very dignified and said, "I won't bother you anymore."
Ye Bonan didn't say anything, turned around and got in the car.
Mrs. Ye's phone call came at this time.
He closed the car door and answered, "She didn't like me, she didn't add her WeChat message, and she didn't leave her phone number."
Mrs. Ye was surprised at first, and then suddenly said, "No wonder Mrs. Zhou has ignored me for the past three days. Cheng Xi didn't like you. Naturally, she is too lazy to maintain the relationship with our Ye family. The Zhou family's eyes are above the top, and their royal power and wealth are overwhelming. , but Cheng Xi, a person with a foreign surname, really thinks that he is the direct daughter of the Zhou family?"
Ye Bonan held the mobile phone in his right hand and covered his legs with a thin quilt with his left hand.
He doesn't like to turn on the heater and prefers the temperature of nature. He would rather wear more clothes and cover himself with a blanket.
"Cheng Xi is excellent and it is normal for him to have high vision."
"Being able to sing Suzhou Pingtan means you are excellent? Then the girls from the Conservatory of Music are all excellent. Are you going to marry her?" Mrs. Ye was also angry. "You and Zhou Jingchen are known as 'Southern Zhou and Northern Ye'. How high-minded she is. She wants to marry Beijing." The leader of the circle?”
Ye Bonan rubbed his temples, "Don't complain about Cheng Xi in private. Dating is based on eye contact. She has no eye contact with me. Her choice is free."
"Do you have a crush on her?" Mrs. Ye was not willing to accept that the eldest son of the Ye family was frustrated by a woman. The Ye family had always looked down upon her, and no one in the Ye family looked down upon her.
"I don't reject her. We can talk about it or not."
"Shall I ask for you?"
Ye Bonan rubbed the jacquard pattern on the blanket, "Forget it, I have a lot of official work recently and I don't have time."
...
Cheng Xi returned to the old house and the lights in the living room had been turned off.
As long as Zhou Huaikang is at home, the Zhou family goes to bed very early. He is used to going to bed at nine o'clock and getting up at five o'clock, maintaining an unshakable eight-hour schedule.
People of this status stay busy and pay great attention to health, and eight out of ten will live a long life.
Cheng Xi's door was ajar.
She thought the nanny was cleaning up inside, but when she opened the door, Zhou Jingchen was sitting on the makeup chair, looking through her photo album.
"came back."
It's like checking the post to catch an adulterer.
Cheng Xi stopped and stared at him.
Zhou Jingchen didn't look at her and guessed her reaction, "Why are you staring at me?"
"You are in my room..."
"They slept."
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and then choked, "Are you okay?"
"I couldn't sleep. I took a walk and found you weren't there." Zhou Jingchen was wearing pajamas, his hair was half wet, and he looked like he had finished taking a bath. "Where have you been?"
"interview."
"Joel gets off work at six, what time is it now?"
Cheng Xi unzipped her down jacket and stuffed it into the closet, "I had a bowl of fried rice noodles with An Ran at the snack street."
"Eat less unhealthy food."
He closed the photo album. The cover was a pencil sketch drawn by Cheng Xi himself, a big jingle cat, and a line of small words: My wish is XXX.
"What is your wish?"
She made a move, grabbed the photo album back, and held it against her chest, "My wish is to make money."
Zhou Jingchen said, "Three X's."
"Make a lot of money."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "My money is the easiest to make."
Cheng Xi couldn't listen to anything, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
She forgot to hide the photo album, and there was a photo of Zhou Jingchen on one of the pages.
It was taken in the Forbidden City when he was 21 years old.
That year she took the junior high school entrance examination, it was summer vacation, and Father Cheng took her there too.
The first and only photo was of her and Zhou Jingchen.
She was thin and he was tall. He bent down to accommodate her height, but he still didn't smile.
"What did Uncle Zhou ask you?" Cheng Xi came to his senses.
Zhou Jingchen looked at her calmly, "Are you scared?"
She listened carefully to the sounds in the corridor. In the dead of night, with Zhou Jingchen in her room, Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What are you afraid of?" He got up from the chair and walked to her.
There was a long silence.
Zhou Jingchen finally walked around her and walked out of the room without saying a word.
