Chapter 23
Want to give it a try?
Yu Xia was stunned when she saw the message.
Is this an olive branch being extended?
To be honest, Yu Xia didn't actually have a strong desire to work. Having grown up without any worries about food or clothing and never experienced any major ups and downs, her life had been smooth sailing for the past twenty years. Therefore, she never had any concept of money or other material possessions and never cared about them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up everything to experience life without hesitation because of a sudden idea that popped into her mind.
It was during her time in Beicheng that she slowly realized the importance of money. However, her thinking was quite simple, and she didn't ask for much money—just enough to get by. When she ran out of money, she would go out and earn more; when she had money, she would quit her job and continue working on her live-streaming career in her rented apartment.
It just so happens that Fu Ze's offer came at a time when she was short of money.
Isn't this an opportunity sent to her by heaven?
This saved her the trouble of going out to look for it; she could just come from home.
So, Yu Xia replied very directly.
【Summer】: How do I try it?
Actually, she wanted to ask what she needed to prepare on her side, or what conditions they had, but she couldn't think of a suitable way to express it. She felt it was too long and cumbersome, so she simply typed three words.
Simple and clear.
Concise and to the point.
Fu Ze replied immediately after Yu Xia sent the message. It was as if he had been waiting by his phone, ready to forward the message he had been editing for who knows how long as he received it, without any hesitation, as if he was afraid that if he was a step too slow, Yu Xia would change her mind.
[Fu]: Okay, our studio's interview time is next Monday, from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. You can choose a time according to your schedule, and we can meet then to discuss the details.
Yu Xia felt there was no problem with having plenty of time and freedom.
【Summer】: Okay.
—
Fu Ze completed the task and immediately took a screenshot and sent it to someone.
[We are not responsible for any issues]: Are you satisfied?
Half an hour ago, shortly after Yu Xia posted on her WeChat Moments.
Fu Ze was leisurely enjoying his nighttime surfing when he received a message from Gu Yubai.
[Bai]: Did you pay the final payment last time?
Fu Ze paused for a moment, then replied.
[No responsibility]: Not yet.
【Bai】: Fight now.
Fu Ze: ? ? ?
Why are you calling in the middle of the night? Did you come here specifically to give him more work?
But what can you do? He's the boss, after all.
Although Fu Ze was unwilling, he still got up and went to find the account to transfer the money.
As a result, just as he found the account form, Gu Yubai sent another message.
【Bai】：Did you get it?
Fu Ze got angry when he saw the message on the screen.
He picked up his phone and replied curtly.
[No responsibility assumed]: They're hitting it! They're hitting it!
Hurry up! All you do is urge! When will this end? You're urging me to make a payment, acting like I owe you money. I've never seen anyone so eager to pay.
After Fu Zehui received the payment, he typed two words and sent them to Gu Yubai to report the result.
[No responsibility]: Okay.
Just when everyone thought the messenger had stopped there, Gu Yubai sent another irrelevant, even nonsensical, message.
[Bai]: What's been happening in the studio's HR department lately?
Fu Ze: ?
What is he doing now? This guy usually doesn't care about anything other than his own voice acting.
When did you start caring about HR matters?
What wicked scheme are they hiding now?
Fu Ze immediately asked a question mark.
[We are not responsible for any issues]: ?
[Bai]: I remember there was a position that was still vacant.
Upon seeing this message, Fu Ze's face showed three bold question marks.
When did the studio become short-staffed?
How could he not know?
【No responsibility】：？？？
What's this guy up to? Is he having a fit of madness in the middle of the night and trying to lay off employees?
Or are you just looking for trouble to do?
Before Fu Ze could even voice his doubts and ask Gu Yubai what he was planning, Gu Yubai sent a message.
This time it's more specific, down to the specific job position.
[Bai]: If I remember correctly, we seem to be short one graphic designer.
Fu Ze, who has always been in charge of graphic design: ? ? ?
[Bai]: Do you have any suitable candidates?
No, what candidates does he have? He doesn't need any people at all. Is this guy deliberately trying to mess with him and make things difficult for him?
Where are we supposed to find someone for him? Does Gu Yubai just not act crazy every day...?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.
etc……
Something seems off.
The hand that was typing away at the other person suddenly paused.
Looking up again, my gaze fell on the message sent by Gu Yubai.
[Bai]: What's been happening in the studio's HR department lately?
[Bai]: I remember there was a position that was still vacant.
[Bai]: Do you have any suitable candidates?
These three sentences are linked together, one after another, as if they were prepared and had a hidden meaning.
As Fu Ze savored the food, he suddenly began to taste something different.
Graphic designer.
post.
Candidates.
A name flashed through Fu Ze's mind.
After sending the message asking for other people's choices, the other party didn't send any more messages, seemingly waiting for him to give the answer.
So, Fu Ze tentatively sent a message.
[No responsibility assumed]: Summer?
Sure enough, as soon as he sent the message, the other party replied immediately, as if they had been waiting for him to make that request.
【Bai】: Yeah, I also think she's pretty good, a good candidate.
Fu Ze: "..."
Good heavens, it's not that they're lacking people, it's that Gu Yubai is lacking in affection!!!
He's abusing his position for personal gain!
That's really despicable!
But the studio was not short of people at all, and Fu Ze rolled his eyes at Gu Yubai's act of using his position for personal gain.
[No responsibility]: However, when has the studio ever been short-staffed?
Even if you want to make an excuse, at least make something decent. You're giving me something that doesn't even exist; where am I supposed to find that for you?
Who would have thought that President Gu, who was unmoved by any wind and had an iron fist, would send just four words so calmly.
【Bai】：It's missing now.
Fu Ze: "..."
Well, that's capital. Oh no, that's being a big shot!
Just believe whatever people say!
You say we don't need it? Bullshit! The whole studio belongs to him. If he says we need it, then we need it. Even if we don't need it, you still have to create a shortfall for me!
Hey, that's what it means to be rich and carefree.
Then Fu Ze received a detailed explanation from Gu Yubai about why he chose Yu Xia. From a professional perspective to the benefit data, he listed each point clearly, and spoke objectively and fairly, impartially and forcefully, from the inside out, highlighting both the good and the bad.
Fu Ze chuckled. If he didn't know what Gu Yubai was thinking, he would have really thought that Gu Yubai was recommending talent out of selflessness.
However, Yu Xia is indeed a talented person, it's just a pity that she ran into a dog like Gu Yubai.
[No responsibility]: Okay, okay, I'll send you the job posting in a couple of days.
At this moment, the old man on the other side spoke up again.
【Bai】：Send now.
Hey! You capitalists are addicted to exploiting people, aren't you!
It's one thing to exploit him during work, but to exploit his precious private time at night too! Have they no humanity left?
Fu Ze was furious.
[Bai]: Don't forget your raise.
Fu Ze: "..."
With a whoosh, the fire went out.
Fu Ze gritted his teeth and typed the next sentence.
[No responsibility]: Okay.
[No responsibility assumed]: I'll go send it right now (smiling face JPG).
