Chapter 8 Unexpected

  • The iPad placed on the passenger seat suddenly vibrated, and Huo Ciyi glanced over and saw the resume information sent by his assistant.
  • Looking at the familiar face in the first resume photo, Huo Ciyi slightly curved his lips and raised an eyebrow. "Ji You? Interesting..."
  • After thinking for a moment, Huo Ciyi dialed Li Secretary's number and said, "Notify the HR department to let the new arrival, Ji You, take over the position of personal assistant..."
  • Pausing for a moment, a playful look flashed in Huo Ciyi's eyes, his thin lips lightly pursed, and he added, "Also, send me a copy of her information."
  • The next day...
  • Ji You woke up in a daze and saw seven adorable kids surrounding her by the window.
  • One of them kissed her, and the tender touch instantly brightened Ji You's day.
  • After sending the seven cute little ones to the kindergarten as instructed by Gu Dongli, Ji You leisurely headed back. However, her phone vibrated...
  • "Miss Ji, congratulations on successfully applying for the position of personal assistant at Hengshui Tower. Please come to our company before ten o'clock to report..."
  • "Huh?" Ji You glanced at it, feeling puzzled. "Hengshui Tower? Personal assistant? What is this? When did I send my resume to this company?"
  • As she wondered, Ji You suddenly remembered Zai Zai's secretive smile this morning, and he even told her that there might be a surprise today...
  • With a face full of black lines, Ji You clenched her fist tightly. She really wanted to search on Baidu - how to deal with such a smart child?
  • Quickly checking the navigation, Ji You drove towards Hengshui Tower.
  • There was no time for breakfast, so Ji You could only grab a sandwich and soy milk to go while rushing to complete the onboarding procedures.
  • With a loud "bang," Ji You couldn't dodge in time and bumped into the person in front of her.
  • The scalding soy milk spilled all over, and small blisters instantly appeared on the back of her hand. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
  • The white soy milk slid down the black suit, leaving a winding white trace. Ji You didn't care about the pain in her hand and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the liquid off the person. But her hand was caught by someone, and a deep voice, as melodious as a cello, sounded, "It seems that this young lady not only doesn't understand the child, but also doesn't know how to walk..."
  • The voice from above sounded somewhat familiar, and Ji You raised her head in surprise - why was it him?
  • With half-closed peach blossom eyes, Huo Ciyi looked at the disheveled state of his clothes. Suddenly, he leaned closer to Ji You, his tone frivolous but with an inexplicable aura, "Miss Ji, you are repeatedly trying to attract my attention in front of me. It's hard for me not to suspect your intentions, huh..."
  • Looking at the suddenly enlarged handsome face in front of her, Ji You instinctively took a step back, but then felt a bit annoyed - how could there be such a narcissistic man in the world?
  • The good impression she had of this man for saving Auntie earlier vanished. A faint mocking expression appeared at the corner of Ji You's lips as she said, "This gentleman first occupied the cemetery and used Auntie to strike up a conversation with me. And now, you're standing here trying to bite me back, hoping to catch my attention..."
  • Her voice paused for a moment, and Ji You glanced at Huo Ciyi and returned his words verbatim, "With such repeated attempts to attract attention, it's hard for me not to suspect your intentions... Could it be that you have a secret crush on me?"
  • After speaking, Ji You's slender fingers brushed across the pocket of Huo Ciyi's suit, pinching the light blue handkerchief there to wipe her hands. Then she put it back into Huo Ciyi's hand and provocatively said, "But sir, don't you think your flirting skills are a bit too clumsy?!"
  • With that, Ji You didn't even look at Huo Ciyi and turned around to leave.
  • The assistant standing by the side dared not even breathe, shrinking his shoulders and trying to minimize his presence - his boss was just...
  • Was he being despised?!
  • Stealing a glance at Huo Ciyi's handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot, the assistant wanted to laugh but had to hold it in.
  • Just as the assistant was struggling to hold back his laughter, he suddenly heard Huo Ciyi snort lightly and indifferently say, "In ten minutes, there will be a company meeting. Notify everyone that no one can be late."
  • Ten, ten minutes?
  • The assistant was stunned for a moment, but then quickly responded, "Okay, CEO. I will inform Linda to prepare the documents for you."
  • "Wait..."
  • Huo Ciyi lightly tapped his upper palate with his tongue, and in his mind, Ji You's puffed-up face kept flashing. A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips as he said, "Who said to let Linda do it? The new assistant has already reported, so let her do it."
  • "But..."
  • The assistant wanted to say something, but Huo Ciyi stopped him with a light glance and he had to lower his head and nod, "Okay, CEO, I understand..."
  • Watching Huo Ciyi's tall and stern figure, the assistant couldn't help but sweat for Ji You in his heart - she had offended her immediate superior as soon as she arrived. It seemed that her future wouldn't be easy...
  • Shrugging his shoulders, the assistant sympathized in his heart but still dutifully called Ji You to inform her about the meeting in ten minutes.
