Chapter 74: The Boss Has Taken a Liking to You, From Now On Your Clothes

Ye Jin hadn’t properly looked at herself in a mirror for a long time.

Before leaving home today, she deliberately paused in front of the mirror for a while.

She was wearing a light-colored professional suit without any flashy designs, simply outlining her well-proportioned figure.

Then Ye Jin realized she seemed to have changed somewhat.

Though she still smiled when looking at people, it was noticeably sharper now, carrying a gentle yet pressing force.

When speaking with others, there was also an undeniable tone of authority.

Indeed, one takes on the color of one’s company.

Ye Jin silently criticized Gu Chenxi in her heart, then helplessly sighed and continued to work.

Today was the day Shu Lingxi came to the group for an interview.

By 9 a.m., Ye Jin had already completed her daily work and was sitting in the interviewer’s seat alongside Gu Chenxi.

There were five candidates total who had made it to the third and final round.

They needed to select two from these five to stay.

The interview atmosphere was very serious, especially for fresh graduates just leaving campus and entering the workplace – the air was so thick it felt hard to breathe.

The first interviewee had an impressive record of awards, with a thick stack of certificates.

However, his face was pale, looking as if he was so nervous he might faint at any moment.

Ye Jin appeared serious on the surface, but her mind was wandering privately.

When she first transmigrated here, if the system hadn’t arranged the job for her in advance, as a half-baked self-media worker, she probably wouldn’t have even passed the first round of interviews.

Thinking about it this way, did that make her someone who got in through connections?

Forced into taking this job, she originally thought she would resign soon, but through various coincidences, she actually got promoted?

Don’t be nervous, we’re just going to ask you a few simple questions. Ye Jin kindly comforted the person across from her.

Gu Chenxi glanced at her.

Then turned his scrutinizing gaze to the interviewee.

Mediocre.

Probably not her type.

Recently, Gu Chenxi had been feeling quite insecure because Ye Jin had been too quiet. Every day, aside from work, it was just more work, without any extra actions.

This completely didn’t match Ye Jin’s personality.

She wasn’t someone this well-behaved, so she was likely brewing something else, wanting to completely cut off his feelings for her.

So what Gu Chenxi worried about most now was her suddenly bringing in some man and introducing him as her boyfriend.

That would truly drive him insane.

And he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do something extreme.

But the one in front of him clearly wasn’t qualified.

The young interviewee was so frightened his legs were shaking. The gaze from above felt heavy and substantial, pressing down on him so much he didn’t even have the courage to look up.

Ye Jin noticed this and gently nudged Gu Chenxi.

Only after receiving the signal did he slowly withdraw his gaze.

The interviewee’s pressure immediately decreased, and he silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, beginning to answer questions seriously.

After some back-and-forth conversation, Ye Jin closed his file and said, Alright, I have no more questions. Mr. Lin, do you have any questions for us?

Mr. Lin said, I don’t have any either.

Ye Jin: Thank you for participating in the interview. The results will be sent to you via email within three days.

When Mr. Lin left the room, his back was completely soaked with sweat.

Shu Lingxi was third in line.

Compared to the previous two interviewees, she appeared noticeably calmer. Her clear, lovely eyes fixed earnestly on Ye Jin as she said, Good day, interviewers. My name is Shu Lingxi.

Ye Jin maintained her usual composure. Have a seat.

Yes, of course.

In such a formal setting, neither considered acting familiar. Ye Jin carefully avoided any appearance of impropriety by not participating in the interview, leaving the routine questions to the HR representative.

However, Shu Lingxi’s resume couldn’t be falsified.

It clearly stated that she had previously completed an internship under Ye Jin’s guidance.

And she had reached the third round of interviews entirely on her own merits.

There was absolutely no reason to reject her.

After the Q&A session concluded, the HR representative routinely stated, You may return home to await notification. The interview results will be sent to your email within three days.

Alright, thank you.

Shu Lingxi politely bid farewell and left.

Shortly after, Ye Jin’s phone received a string of Ahhhhhhhhhhh messages.

Undoubtedly, they were from Shu Lingxi.

Ye Jin typed back to comfort her:Don’t be nervous. You performed excellently just now.

Ye Jin didn’t bother hiding her phone while messaging.

So with just a slight shift of his gaze, Gu Chenxi caught sight of the content on her screen.

He didn’t mind.

In fact, he was somewhat deliberately indulgent.

Now that Ye Jin had reached the position of executive assistant, it was only natural for her to cultivate a few trusted subordinates.

This way, with these connections, she would feel more settled staying at Vastness, staying by his side.

Despite all his precautions, Gu Chenxi never imagined that the very trouble he’d been guarding against had been personally admitted by him.

And now this person was wandering intact outside his office door every single day.

President Gu, could you assign Xixi to be my assistant?

On Shu Lingxi’s third day interning at Vastness, Ye Jin made this request to Gu Chenxi.

Gu Chenxi’s ears perked up, an inexplicable fire igniting in his chest.

She had probably forgotten again that his name also contained the character Xi.

If only she were calling him Xixi.

He’d be willing to do anything for that, even serve as her ox or horse.

President Gu?

Ye Jin snapped him out of his fantasy, speaking to him seriously, I’ve been overwhelmed with work recently and would like to delegate some tasks to Xixi, having her share part of my load. Do you think that would be acceptable?

Shu Lingxi had been interning here for three days, and Ye Jin had been observing her all that time.

Then she realized that although the male and female leads worked on the same floor, they barely saw each other throughout the day.

How could sparks possibly fly like this?

So Ye Jin began playing her role as a plot device, bringing Shu Lingxi to Gu Chenxi’s office to make her request.

Approved.

He spoke up abruptly again.

Gu Chenxi struggled to maintain his expression, preventing himself from getting lost in this sweetness that didn’t belong to him.

Ye Jin called Xixi so sweetly, but she wasn’t calling him.

He didn’t want to hear Ye Jin call anyone else Xixi either.

Gu Chenxi thought for a moment, then tapped his own chest with his pen while looking at Ye Jin.

Hmm?

Ye Jin looked puzzled for a second before lowering her head and realizing Gu Chenxi was pointing to where she wore her employee badge.

Vastness’ employee badges were attached to blue satin lanyards worn around the neck.

They displayed not only position and information but also contained encoded company access permissions and workstation logins.

Most Vastness employees had developed the habit of wearing them upon entering the company, but Shu Lingxi, being new, didn’t seem to have formed this habit yet.

Gu Chenxi’s intentions were already quite obvious.

Ye Jin turned to glance at Shu Lingxi.

Sure enough, she wasn’t wearing her employee badge and was dressed like a college student, wearing a white knitted top and light blue jeans.

Ye Jin: I understand, President Gu.

Gu Chenxi: ?

Understood that quickly?

He felt his expression hadn’t been that precise.

Shu Lingxi looked even more confused, staring at Ye Jin in surprise.

Wait.

She understood? Understood what?

Ye Jin noticed Shu Lingxi’s confusion and directly pulled her out of Gu Chenxi’s office.

The boss has taken a liking to you.

Ye Jin leveraged her advantage as a mouthpiece, feeling quite pleased as she casually spread misinformation. Dress better from now on.

Shu Lingxi: ???!

Gu Chenxi, who had specifically followed them out due to concern: …
