Chapter 17: Peeping desire seems to be here to catch the adulterer...

After his trip to the hospital, Feng Ji gave Qi Yu a day off, intending to let him recuperate for a few more days. Unfortunately, Qi Yu had just been discharged from the hospital on the weekend, and he had slept at home for two days without replying to a single work message. After all, he was young, so he was fully recovered on Monday and went to work with Feng Ji.

He insisted on going, and Feng Ji couldn't force him to stay home, so he said, "You don't have to work at the company today. The HR department has found several suitable assistant candidates for the first interview this afternoon. I originally wanted to let you choose during the second interview. Since you have to go to the company today, why don't you go to the first interview as well."

"Okay." Qi Yu nodded to show that he understood, but he forgot what he promised. By the time Feng Ji realized that he had ignored his words, Qi Yu had actually finished dealing with all the emails that had accumulated in the past few days in just one morning.

Facing the boss's disapproving expression, Qi Yu blinked uncomfortably with his glassy eyes behind his glasses, and said innocently, "Boss Feng?"

Feng Ji was annoyed, "You just can't take a break?"

"No, the company is here. I would be wasting my time if I didn't work." Qi Yu tidied up his desk and prepared to go to lunch with Feng Ji.

Feng Ji: "Even if you don't come today, you will still be paid."

"I understand, Mr. Feng. I'll pay attention next time." Qi Yu responded verbally, but his hands did not stop moving. He packed up his things, stood up from his seat, and walked out of the office with Feng Ji.

More than ten minutes had passed since the lunch break, and there were only a few people left on the top floor. They were all starving and had gone to the cafeteria to eat.

Feng’s Canteen has a rich variety of dishes and the meal allowance is cost-effective. Few employees in the office choose to order takeout, and there are almost no people at their workstations during meal times.

When Qi Yu and the others went downstairs, the huge two-story cafeteria was already crowded.

As the president of the company, Feng Ji naturally would not squeeze with the employees. He had his own private room. The dishes for lunch were also arranged by Qi Yu after communicating with the cafeteria in advance, so he could eat as soon as he arrived.

Qi Yu is also an employee, but Feng Ji never lets him eat out, so this private room has become exclusive to the two of them. Even if Feng Ji doesn't come, Qi Yu can use it alone.

Lunch was coconut chicken rice. The small pot in the middle of the table was bubbling, and I could faintly smell the fragrance of the soup base mixed with chicken.

The cafeteria has a dedicated person to help with the side dishes, so you don't have to do it yourself. While waiting for the ingredients to be cooked, Qi Yu boredly clicked on WeChat Moments, intending to while away the time.

Slide your finger downwards and a circle of friends will be refreshed with the time displayed as "just now".

I have an interview this afternoon at a big company I've always dreamed of, and I'm super nervous. If I can get the job, I'd be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house (fingers crossed).

The sender of this circle of friends post is a junior of Di Qiyu who is two years younger than him.

A junior named Liang Nanxing had excellent grades in college and often received scholarships. Qi Yu and him met through academics. They had the same advisor and had been paired together for several provincial competitions in their junior year, and they had become acquainted ever since.

Qi Yu had a good impression of this junior fellow student. He was quick-witted and nimble, and he could almost always complete the tasks assigned to him perfectly. He did not hold the team back due to his lack of experience.

Judging from his age, Liang Nanxing has graduated for a year.

After graduation, he rarely chatted with this junior. The last time they communicated was during a holiday, when they exchanged blessings.

There are many large companies in Beijing, and Qi Yu did not ask which company the other party was interviewing for, but since he was selected, he still left a blessing.

Good luck on your interview!

As soon as the comment was posted, before Qi Yu could swipe away, a red dot popped up under the background wall.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering if Liang Nanxing was watching his friends circle and replying so quickly, and then he clicked on it.

Liang Nanxing: [Thank you, senior! With your blessing, I will definitely be able to face it!]

Qi Yu stared at the reply for a while, then replied with two friendship roses, which symbolized "I don't know what to reply but I have to reply."

While he was looking down at his phone, the small pot in front of him had already started bubbling.

Through the rising smoke, Feng Ji observed the young man's expression and said, "Qi Yu, it's time to eat."

"Oh, okay." Qi Yu put down his phone and took a sip of the coconut water beside him.

They were about to start eating when the food service staff left the room. Feng Ji picked up a piece of chicken and asked casually, "Are you chatting?"

The sweet taste of coconut water filled his mouth. Qi Yu put down his glass and replied, "I happened to see a junior's circle of friends and replied to him."

"Junior?" Feng Ji paused while biting his flesh. "What junior? Why haven't you ever mentioned him? Are you close to him?"

Three consecutive questions were thrown at Qi Yu one after another. The young man widened his eyes slightly and looked at the man in surprise.

Meeting Qi Yu's gaze, Feng Ji realized that he had lost his composure after spending that night together. He immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm sorry, what I said just now was a bit abrupt. If you don't want to talk about it, don't pay attention to me."

An apology from your boss is ninety-nine percent a rare thing.

Qi Yu lowered his eyes silently, "...It's okay. It's not something that can't be discussed with others."

"My junior said he had an interview this afternoon, so I wished him good luck. That's all."

Judging from Qi Yu's expression, this was the truth. It was just a very ordinary circle of friends post.

Feng Ji couldn't help but think back to his previous transgression, which must have already made Qi Yu feel resentful. He took a bite of the long-forgotten piece of chicken, feeling a surge of regret.

He had been pretending to be a gentleman and a good boss for so long, but as the progress bar of their relationship moved forward a little, he got carried away and lost control... Fortunately, he stopped in time, so it shouldn't have any impact.

After the recent incident, the conversation during the meal revolved solely around work.

But compared to the atmosphere before, it was more silent and a little stiff.

After finishing his meal, Qi Yu returned to his lounge and lay there for a long time but couldn’t fall asleep. The scene of his meal kept replaying in his mind.

Even though he was separated by the white steam rising from the furnace, he could still see the flash of emotion in the man's eyes.

The emotion was a strong, tangible, and frightening desire to voyeurize.

…

…

The incident at lunch lingered in his mind for a long time. Qi Yu had a splitting headache after sleeping. He pressed the sore and swollen solar plexus and did not return to the office. After greeting Feng Ji on the phone, he took the elevator alone to the Human Resources Department on the fifth floor.

Since this time the purpose was to recruit an assistant for Assistant Qi, the task was assigned to the Human Resources Department by the president himself. Therefore, Manager Li of the Human Resources Department attached great importance to it. He and several managers in the department personally attended the interview in the afternoon.

Seeing Qi Yu coming, Manager Li greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Assistant Qi, the interview will start in ten minutes. Would you like to come sit in the office for a while?"

Qi Yu refused, "No, I'll go to the window to get some fresh air."

"Okay, okay." Manager Li quickly agreed. "Let's meet here in about ten minutes."

Qi Yu responded with "OK".

Standing by the window, Qi Yu opened his cell phone and took a look. Feng Ji had just sent a message, which roughly meant that he might come downstairs later to find out about today's interview. If Qi Yu met someone suitable in the first interview, he could stay and try out without a second interview.

The criteria for finding an assistant are all based on his wishes.

Ten minutes passed quickly. After meeting at the door, they walked towards the reception room specially set up for the interview.

Since Manager Li had more interview experience, Qi Yu did not steal the show and walked in at the end in a very low-key manner.

The interviewees lined up in the waiting area and entered the interview one by one according to the order in which they were interviewed. After Qi Yu sat down, the first interviewee arrived at the door right after him.

The first person to come in for the interview was a young girl with short hair and smart clothes. As expected, the first glance she gave after entering the conference room was towards the handsome young man at the innermost side.

After all, there were several middle-aged, overweight men sitting next to him, and the young man had such a superior face. It was hard not to notice the contrast between the two.

Under normal circumstances, she might have taken a few more glances, but in such an occasion, the other party was her interviewer, so the girl only glanced at him and then looked away. After sitting down, she straightened her back and began to introduce herself.

Since the process is fixed, the speed is also very fast. After asking a few questions and making a quick note, it will be time to move on to the next one.

I interviewed three or four people in a row, and Qi Yu didn't make any comments during the interviews, and he barely opened his mouth.

Manager Li and the other two looked at each other, thinking that the people just mentioned probably did not meet Assistant Qi's selection criteria.

Since the recruitment time for this interview was very short, although many people submitted resumes, only a few of them met the requirements and came to the on-site interview, and soon only the last person was left.

If this person, Special Assistant Qi, is still not satisfied, then we will have to continue recruiting people.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, the last interviewee politely knocked on the door and walked in.

The visitor was a young man who looked young, with a handsome face and an estimated height of 185 cm. Judging from his clothes, he still retained a bit of student spirit. He looked full of energy with a smile on his face.

Such an appearance can easily leave a good impression on others.

"Hello everyone, I'm the last candidate, my name is Liang Nanxing——"

The young man strode into the interview room and just after saying hello, his eyes suddenly paused when he saw Qi Yu sitting at the innermost seat, and then he showed a hint of surprise.

The interviewers looked at each other, and didn't find his reaction strange.

After all, the previous few people who came in for the interview had the same reaction when they saw Assistant Qi.

But if they turned their heads to look at this moment, they would find that Qi Yu, who had originally shown no emotion, now raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't expect such a coincidence to happen to him. The big company that Liang Nanxing mentioned in his circle of friends that he was going to interview was actually their company.

As luck would have it, the interview was for the position of his assistant.

It was natural for alumni to feel particularly familiar when they met. Qi Yu couldn't help but look more seriously when he was flipping through Liang Nanxing's resume.

With Liang Nanxing's self-introduction, he also roughly understood the other party's experience after graduation.

After graduation, Liang Nanxing did not choose to continue to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, but instead joined a company with good development prospects. He resigned from his previous company last month and took a month's break before submitting his resume to Feng's.

Liang Nanxing worked as an assistant in his previous company. Although he had only been there for a year, he was diligent in his work, had rich experience, and had a very impressive resume.

Judging from Qi Yu's work experience with Liang Nanxing when they were in school, these work experiences should be genuine.

Perhaps out of consideration for his junior from the same school, or because of the good impression the other party left on him during their competition, Qi Yu actually asked Liang Nanxing a few questions for the first time.

It's not too tricky, but it's easy to get stuck if you don't have some experience.

After a conversation, Liang Nanxing answered every question fluently.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Qi Yu's face.

Manager Li looked at Liang Nanxing, then turned his head to look at Qi Yu beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you satisfied with this, Special Assistant Qi?"

Qi Yu didn't answer on the spot, but just gave Manager Li a look. Manager Li understood, but didn't say anything. He just said to Liang Nanxing: "The interview is over. I will give you a reply within three working days. You can leave now."

"Okay, thank you all interviewers." Liang Nanxing stood up from his seat, looked at Qi Yu again before leaving, and then left the interview room.

After the interview ended in the afternoon, Manager Li and others said goodbye to Qi Yu and left. Qi Yu sat in his original seat and read Liang Nanxing's information again before getting up and leaving.

Just as he turned the corner, a familiar voice called out to him, "Senior!"

Qi Yu paused and turned to look, only to see Liang Nanxing, who had clearly left, standing there, greeting him with a wide smile, "Senior, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be the one interviewing me today! I was so surprised when I first walked in that I was almost speechless."

"I didn't expect that I would see you at the company this afternoon after I sent you my interview wishes at noon." Facing his former schoolmate, Qi Yu was very relaxed, and there was no trace of the alienation he showed when facing outsiders on his face.

Liang Nanxing scratched his head sheepishly and whispered, "If I had known I was going to interview at my senior's company, I wouldn't have posted that circle of friends."

Qi Yu followed his lead and asked, "Why?"

Liang Nanxing chuckled, "I've already graduated for a year. I'm afraid you might think I'm childish."

Qi Yu curled the corners of his lips.

"Oh, senior!" Liang Nanxing hesitated, but mustered up her courage and looked at him expectantly. "I stayed here because, firstly, I wanted to say hello to you, and secondly, we haven't seen each other for a long time. After you get off work, can I treat you to a meal to catch up?"

Qi Yu did not agree immediately after hearing this. He was silent for a moment and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but at this moment, a big hand grabbed his shoulder, and the irresistible force from the shoulder pulled him back.

The next moment, the owner of the hand walked in front of him, changed his position, and half of his shoulder was blocking Qi Yu.

Qi Yu turned around and met the eyes of the man who suddenly appeared.

Qi Yu spoke first, "Boss Feng."

Feng Ji glanced at him, then calmly moved him behind him and asked, "Is the interview over?"

"Just finished." Qi Yu answered and then asked, "When did you come, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Ji's peripheral vision shifted slightly, his gaze passed over Liang Nanxing's face, and he said nonchalantly, "It was just when he said he wanted to treat you to a meal."

"..." Qi Yu was speechless for a moment, then looked at Liang Nanxing again, "Sorry, Nanxing, I'm afraid it won't work today. We'll make an appointment again when we have the chance."

"...Okay, that's fine. We can make an appointment next time." Liang Nanxing looked at the man standing in front of Qi Yu, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and raised a bright smile to Qi Yu. "Then I'll be leaving first. Bye, senior!"

Qi Yu: "Goodbye."

After watching Liang Nanxing enter the elevator, Qi Yu turned around and was about to say something when he saw Feng Ji staring at his neatly ironed collar with his eyelids drooping. Qi Yu was almost furious when he asked, "Senior? I want to treat you to a meal and come here to recognize your relationship?"

"We just happened to meet." Qi Yu explained simply: "He came for an interview."

Feng Ji narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, as if remembering something, and asked, "Interview? He can't be... that junior student in your circle of friends, right?"

Qi Yu: “…Yes.”

Feng Ji would forget about Mr. Chen and Mr. Li who came to him to build relationships at banquets, but he remembered clearly a junior student whom he didn't know in Qi Yu's circle of friends.

After receiving a positive answer, Feng Ji's face showed no emotion as he took the lead and walked towards the elevator. "Now that my junior has left, let's go back to the office."

Qi Yu was silent for a moment and followed.

He looked at Feng Ji's back as he strode forward, and always felt that the conversation between the two of them just now was full of a weird sense of jealousy.

It doesn't seem like a simple question-and-answer session, but more like a stalker trying to catch someone cheating...

The author has something to say:

----------------------

Mr. Feng: I am a supporting role, how dare I be jealous? I am a passer-by and I have long been aware of it. I am insignificant to you.

Yuzai: Stop singing :)
