Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Surrounded by villains
To be honest, Si Yizhi is not a person who judges people by their appearance, and he does not deliberately observe other people's appearance.
But because Shao Jiayan kept mumbling in his mind, and coupled with Ai Si's previous remarks about "Bai Yueguang's substitute" that shocked him, Si Yizhi couldn't help but look at their faces a few more times.
In fact, if you look closely, their eyebrows and eyes are indeed 70% similar, both of them have big round deer eyes. But apart from their eyebrows and eyes, they are not very similar in other places.
Wen Kefan was just as Si Yizhi remembered him, with an oval face, a pointed chin, and a pair of round, doe-like eyes that were always full of energy and naive, making him look like a warm little sun. Shao Jiayan looked thin, but his face was still full of baby fat, and his eyes exuded a clear stupidity that suited his age.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s worked in his own company for two years, but the stupidity in his eyes is obviously more clear than clear, making his whole temperament look...very classy.
But it must be said that Shao Jiayan is indeed a fresh and handsome new programmer, otherwise Si Yizhi would not have seen him at first sight among so many programmers in the conference room when he heard Xin Sheng for the first time.
but...
[Hiss... Why does this protagonist seem a little strange...]
When he heard the voice, Si Yizhi quickly turned to look at Wen Kefan, only to see that the other party was pouting and staring at him with dissatisfaction.
He crossed his arms over his chest and pursed his lips and said, "Brother Si, is this your new assistant?"
As he spoke, he looked Shao Jiayan up and down, with a look of disdain on his face, "This assistant's clothes are inappropriate and look unprofessional."
The protagonist, Shao Jiayan, was almost overwhelmed by such malicious words.
The elites on the top floor wore suits every day, which made them look very different from the programmers on the fourth floor. Although Shao Jiayan consciously wanted to blend in with the group, the three-piece suit he bought online for cheap was still on the way, so he was still wearing his previous "programmer uniform" today, which really didn't fit in with the other people on the top floor.
[Damn it! The two suits I spent nearly $2,000 on will only arrive tomorrow! ]
[Wow, the protagonist has a problem with me now? If I had known, I would not have gone to an offline store to buy the suit for the sake of cheapness. 】
Shao Jiayan was afraid of the protagonist's halo and didn't want to go against the protagonist, so he could only lower his head and remain silent, but Si Yizhi had no scruples.
"Game companies like ours don't care much about employees' attire. As long as they are neat and decent, it's fine." Si Yizhi's expressionless face rarely showed a teasing look. "But you are wearing something fancy. Your style is quite similar to one of the male protagonists in our game."
[Oh my god! The capitalists actually spoke for me! But what Mr. Si said is true. Looking at Master Wen's pink and purple graffiti, he really looks a bit like the style of the male protagonist in the game on our project. ]
[Young Master Wen doesn't look like he's here to work in Shenzhen, but rather to fall in love~ But his partner Si Yiran is still in Beijing, so the protagonist should be preparing to join Si's company and take over the family company. What is Young Master Wen doing in Shenzhen at this time...? Hiss~ I kind of forgot...]
Si Yizhi, who originally wanted to hear some inside information from Shao Jiayan, was almost angry to the point of falling backwards, but looking at Shao Jiayan's thoughtful expression full of bitterness and hatred, he didn't know what to say.
However, after hearing Shao Jiayan's thoughts, Si Yizhi's attitude towards Wen Kefan also changed a little.
The Wen family and the Si family were neighbors in their early years. The two families cooperated with each other in the Beijing business circle and had a good relationship.
When they were young, both of them were the only sons in their respective families. Wen Kefan was three years younger than Si Yizhi and was Si Yizhi's little tail. Even after Si Yizhi's parents divorced and his status in the Si family plummeted, Wen Kefan still treated him the same for ten years.
Even when Si Yizhi graduated from high school and was sent abroad by the Si family elders, Wen Kefan helped him with his living expenses for studying abroad.
That is why, no matter what happened later, Si Yizhi treated Wen Kefan specially. This is also why there were rumors in the circle that Wen Kefan was Si Yizhi's white moonlight.
But based on recent events, Wen Kefan felt that Si Yizhi had changed.
"Brother Si, you would never treat me like this before." Young Master Wen felt a little aggrieved, and his beautiful big eyes began to fill with tears as soon as he disagreed with something.
This made Shao Jiayan, who was standing by, stunned.
[Good fellow~ Has this protagonist learned how to change faces? ]
But he thought about it and felt that it was normal. This kind of romance novel that can only be read in the toilet is mainly about the literature of domineering bosses and their wives, so it is normal for the wife to be in tears.
However, according to Shao Jiayan's experience of reading posts over the years, the wife in such posts will not be particularly capable at work, otherwise there would be no domineering president.
And Si Yizhi's explanation also proves this point.
"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly to you on the phone before. Love Reincarnation is the company's key project, and all the shareholders are keeping an eye on it. You have no experience in the gaming industry, nor do you have any examples of successful marketing. It's hard for me to convince the shareholders to let you lead such a big project." Wen Kefan was not a person with outstanding abilities, otherwise he would not have been squeezed out after the return of the real young master of the Wen family.
It’s just that Si Yizhi originally had found two very capable confidants to serve as Wen Kefan’s assistants to help him gild the project, but now he will not do so for the time being.
Looking at Wen Kefan's tearful eyes, the cold-blooded capitalist continued, "You haven't worked properly for a few days at Wen's since you graduated from college, which means you don't have any work experience. You should work with me for a while, and it won't be too late to transfer you to another position after you are familiar with the company's situation."
Wen Kefan had no fault to find with what he said, but the huge gap between his former prominent project leader and his transformation to a mere secretary to a district president still made Wen Kefan very unhappy.
But Wen Kefan, who really had no skills, could only say aggrievedly, "Okay then. What should I do now~"
Before Si Yizhi could open his mouth, he heard a wailing sound.
[Ah, I'm blind! Damn it, why didn't I realize that the scene of an adult man acting like a spoiled child was so eye-catching when I first read the novel! ! ]
In fact, to be fair, Wen Kefan looks cute, which fits his personality. But he is 25 after all, one year older than Shao Jiayan. What he does and says in this CEO office with a cold style is particularly abrupt.
This made Shao Jiayan unable to help but complain in his heart: [Fuck, the protagonist is a male clamp. But the clamping is quite nice, but isn’t this occasion a bit wrong...? Oh no, should I run away now so as not to disturb Mr. Si and his white moonlight’s time alone? ]
Shao Jiayan thought to himself as he cautiously took half a step back, ready to turn around and run at any time.
But before he could turn around, Mr. Si called him.
"Xiao Shao, show him the SOP you read yesterday, and then take him to familiarize himself with the company environment." Si Yizhi calmly avoided the other person's attempt to touch his hand, "Kefan, you go and familiarize yourself with the environment first. I'll let Ai Si take you to the specific work content later."
Then Wen Kefan followed Shao Jiayan away with an unhappy look on his face.
Although Shao Jiayan still didn't understand why the position of chief secretary had to look at the SOP of the chief assistant, he didn't dare to ask after seeing the fierce look in Mr. Si's eyes...
Although Si Yizhi, a workaholic, has seven assistants, he only has one secretary, Ai Si. Now, with Wen Kefan, there are only two secretaries. In the past two days, Shao Jiayan chatted with the six brothers in the group and learned that although Ai Si was a relative, she had good work ability, which was why she was able to work with Si Yizhi for several years.
But compared with her, a capable person with connections, Wen Kefan seems particularly useless.
Wen Kefan had only been on the job for one day when Shao Jiayan began to feel a little overwhelmed.
Young Master Wen obviously didn't come to work properly. He got impatient after reading the job SOP for less than five minutes. The single office prepared by HR for him was far away from the general manager's office and the president's office. He was very dissatisfied with this and disliked Shao Jiayan in various ways. Although he didn't say bad things to him, anyone with eyes could see his unfriendly attitude.
This made Shao Jiayan, who originally wanted to curry favor with the protagonist after he arrived, give up the idea.
Although he longs for a nine-to-six life with two days off a week, it doesn't mean he would do something that would get him rejected.
Ai Si, who was in charge of the subsequent job training, was too lazy to teach him attentively. In her words, "Only Mr. Si would be willing to support such a useless person."
Shao Jiayan took Wen Kefan for a walk around the company and it was lunch time. He wanted to invite Wen Kefan to the company cafeteria for lunch. Although their company ranked first in the industry in terms of overtime hours, their salary level and employee benefits were also first in the industry. When Shao Jiayan didn't work overtime and could catch up with the cafeteria meals, he would try to eat in the cafeteria.
But the distinguished protagonist directly refused on the grounds that he "does not eat in the cafeteria".
Finally, Young Master Wen went back to his office and ordered takeout for two, saying that he wanted to eat with President Si.
Seeing that he looked exhausted, Ai Si kindly called him to her office and made him a cup of fragrant coffee. She also said something bad about Wen Kefan.
"Wen Kefan and I are in the same class. He didn't do well in school, but he was good-looking and sweet-spoken. The teachers and elders in the school all liked him very much." The conflict between Ai Si and Wen Kefan was obviously not a one-day thing. "A grown man, pretending to be weak and pitiful all day long, a total green tea and white lotus. But Mr. Si and his people just fell for him!"
After listening to Ai Si's complaints for a while, Shao Jiayan thought that a guy like Ai Si, who was so hostile to the protagonist and worked in the villain's company, should not have no name in the original novel.
His heart moved, and he asked, "Sister Ai Si, is your English name Alice?"
"Yeah." Ai Si nodded.
She and Si Yizhi both studied at a German technical university, but the year she graduated with her bachelor's degree, Si Yizhi had just graduated with his master's degree. As fellow Chinese, they became acquainted when they returned to China after graduation.
Hearing her say this, Shao Jiayan couldn't help but light a candle for her in his heart.
As expected, Ai Si is a vicious female supporting character in the middle stage of the novel. Hasn't he fallen into the villain's nest?
The original description is that she had a feud with the protagonist because of a fight over a piece of jade jewelry at an auction, and her ending was only slightly better than that of the villain Si Yizhi.
Shao Jiayan, who just wanted to stay in the Ark game as an honest grassroots worker, originally wanted to work honestly and wait until the plot was finished so that he could be adopted by the protagonist group and live a stable life. But everything went wrong when his wish came true.
Let's not talk about Mr. Si, who always has a stern face and looks like a robot. Miss Ai Si is such a lively, cheerful, beautiful and generous girl. She is clearly a flesh-and-blood, living person! When Shao Jiayan thought that she would end up miserably because of offending Wen Kefan in the future, he felt very uncomfortable.
Ai Si's secretary's office is separated from the president's office by just a wall.
Si Yizhi next door was upset and passively accepted the information revealed by Shao Jiayan. He didn't expect that Ai Si, who came from a wealthy family, was also a villain, and a vicious female supporting role... You know, Ai Si's family background is much more powerful than the Si family and the Wen family. Even she didn't have a good ending, Si Yizhi really wanted to know the specific plot.
In fact, Si Yizhi also had the idea of laying it all out and asking directly, but then he changed his mind and realized that Shao Jiayan obviously had a deeper affection for the protagonist's team. If he revealed this matter in order to curry favor with the protagonist, he would be in a passive position.
So Si Yizhi decided to observe for a while longer.
And because Si Yizhi did not follow the script, trouble ensued.
The Si family, who rarely contacted each other during the holidays, unexpectedly called him to ask about Wen Kefan's position. Especially Si Yiran, the "protagonist" in Shao Jiayan's heart, called him seven or eight times from yesterday to today, and even came to Shenzhen in person for Wen Kefan's matter despite his busy schedule.
So Si Yizhi gave instructions to his assistant, "Order dinner tonight."
"Okay, Mr. Si, how many people are here for dinner? Do you have any dietary preferences?" the assistant on the other end of the phone asked in a formal manner.
"No, anything near the company is fine. My brother is coming over, I'll treat him to dinner tonight."
