Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Recruiting Assistants
Ji Hanxi brushed aside the pile of luxury goods, sat down, unwrapped the food, and took out a croissant for Nanzhi: "Would you like some?"
"Oh, I've had breakfast."
After being rejected, Ji Hanxi took the food and ate it slowly. He felt that it was not much different from what he usually ate. Since it was not a pre-made food, it tasted a little better.
"How can you still have the leisure to eat? Don't you think it's strange?" Nanzhi was now filled with doubts and wanted to get to the bottom of it. "He actually bought you breakfast. Don't you think...don't you think it's strange? How could someone like him do such a thing?"
"...Everything is possible." If it were in the past, Ji Hanxi would definitely be shocked, confused, and would feel that he was weird, and would even suspect that he poisoned her breakfast.
But now, after experiencing the sudden change in his crush on her, he was no longer surprised by any of this. He felt that nothing was impossible in this world. Even something so magical could happen, so what did it matter?
"What happened yesterday? Did you have a fight with your boss and Vivienne?"
"Um."
"So...were you forced to quit by Vivienne?" After all, he had previously resigned after an intern accidentally stepped on his carpet, ridiculing her to the point of voluntarily quitting. So it was entirely possible that they thought he'd forced her to quit.
What's more, their relationship was not good to begin with. Other people in the company probably didn't know, but Nanzhi had heard Ji Hanxi complain many times and knew that the two of them were not on good terms, but fighting openly and secretly.
"It's partly his fault."
"Sure enough..." Nanzhi gave him an expression that said, "I knew it." Then, looking at the food on the table, he asked in confusion, "If he caused you to quit, why would he buy you breakfast?"
"apologize."
"Apologize?" Nanzhi's voice rose two notches, extremely surprised. "He actually apologized? A man like him actually apologized? To whom? To you?"
The word "apology" was inconceivable when associated with Vivienne; he didn't seem like the type to apologize. For a moment, the other members of the content department pricked up their ears like rabbits, seemingly minding their own business while actually focusing on the ensuing conversation.
"Well, if you do something wrong, you should apologize and make amends."
"Will a person like him realize that he has done something wrong?" Nanzhi felt that this was getting more and more outrageous.
Ji Hanxi slowly stopped chewing. She also felt that Vivienne would not realize that she had done something wrong. No, it should be that he realized part of it. That part was that during the winter vacation, after guessing that she had added the wrong person, he did not remind her or tell her. He knew that this was wrong.
But he never considered himself wrong in not letting her add the mixed-race handsome guy. Just like he said yesterday, if he were given another chance, he wouldn't just make a fool of himself on WeChat. He would choose a more extreme approach and make sure she couldn't add the mixed-race handsome guy on WeChat forever. He was just a lunatic with a dysfunctional mind, a man who had always made a mistake, stubbornly refusing to change.
Ji Hanxi was lost in thought when she felt someone pat her arm gently. She looked up and saw Nanzhi pointing forward, reminding her of something.
Looking in the direction she pointed, she saw Vivienne leaning against the doorway looking at her.
Her face was still as beautiful as ever, but her makeup today was very light, her snow-white skin looked a little haggard, there were faint dark circles under her eyes, and even her lips were so pale that they looked lifeless.
He looked so fragile, but when he appeared in the content department, the whole room fell into an eerie silence.
This shows how notorious he is and how ferocious he is.
Nanzhi glanced at her phone, stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have filming to do. Hanxi, I have to go first. Sorry."
"Oh, yes, yes, I just remembered that I also took some photos."
"Me too, I need to go try out some makeup."
There were only a few bloggers working in the content department originally, and now they all suddenly had something to do and left.
Ji Hanxi watched the door close, then watched Vivienne approach, frowning and saying, "It's all your fault. You scared them all away."
When he appeared here, even the air pressure was much lower than usual. He was such a disgusting and terrible plague god.
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
He sat down next to her. Ji Hanxi moved a little to the side, away from him.
"Don't you like it?" He asked when he saw that she had only eaten half a croissant in the morning.
"Not bad." A cold sentence.
Ji Hanxi was typing away on the computer, completely ignoring the fact that he was beside her, and completely ignoring whether he could see what was on the screen.
The job posting on the screen was eye-catching and vivid, visible to anyone with sufficient vision. Naturally, he had noticed it, his gaze lingering briefly on the line that read "strong young man," before asking, "Are you hiring an assistant?"
In fact, Ji Hanxi was waiting for him to ask this question. After hearing it, she turned around, facing him, and said with a smile: "Yes, is there any problem? Does Teacher Vivienne have any opinions?"
When she mocks people, she likes to use honorifics, which makes the mockery more profound and has a sarcastic feel.
"Doesn't Teacher Vivienne have several assistants? She's surrounded by people and treated like a star. She lives a very comfortable and carefree life. I'd like to hire two assistants too. I want to live a good life, too. Is there any problem?"
Recruiting an assistant is a natural thing to do, but the fact that the recruitment information specifically emphasizes a young man with a strong physique has a deeper meaning and is unusual.
Ji Hanxi was doing this on purpose. She was going to find the kind of person Vivienne hated the most. She was going to make him uncomfortable, to make him feel nauseous, to make him unable to sleep or eat. What could he do? She insisted on doing this, so what could he do? What else could he do?
Upon hearing this, Vivienne lowered her eyes to look at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow, making it even harder to discern the emotions in her eyes.
Ji Hanxi continued, "I only said I'll give you an equal opportunity to pursue me, but I didn't promise anything else. So, I can recruit whoever I want, give opportunities to whoever I want, and get along with any man I want. Do you understand?"
"I know..." He said this, his voice so soft, as if it would be blown away by the wind.
Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Seeing his broken face, she felt particularly happy. She didn't understand the saying "seeing you suffer is also a kind of happiness for me" before, but now she finally felt a little bit of empathy.
"That's right, it's so good now. You can compete with others with your original identity. No matter you win or lose, at least I can see the real you. Otherwise, you are borrowing someone else's identity, and I will only see others but not you. Don't you want me to see the real you? I'm giving you a chance now. I said I would not have any prejudice. Keep your word..." Ji Hanxi never thought that one day she would be like a succubus, uttering such bewitching whispers, luring the other party step by step into the trap.
When Vivienne heard this, she looked up at her. He smiled gently, his emotions as hard to see into as the depths of an ancient well.
"Okay." He replied.
Ji Hanxi found him obscure and difficult to understand, like an ancient book filled with rare characters. He was always surrounded by a determination and paranoia that made him want to put himself to death.
This feeling was probably the same as when he was chatting with her during the winter vacation. He knew that he could be exposed at any time, and knew that there would be no way back after being exposed, but he still insisted on his own opinion and went all the way to the end.
It was as precarious as walking on a knife's edge, as precarious as walking on a tightrope. It was dangerous, critical, and his life was hanging by a thread, but he chose to ignore it.
What a puzzling madman...
There seemed to be some movement at the door. Someone knocked against the door, making a muffled sound.
The sound brought Ji Hanxi back to reality. She stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly opened it.
The people gathered at the door were caught off guard and nearly fell inside. Not only the content department, but many people from other departments also gathered around out of curiosity.
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh... just passing by, sorry sorry." Everyone dispersed.
Ji Hanxi looked at them and shook his head. Although the frosted glass inside the room made it difficult to see the details, the vague figures of people were still visible. The dark shadows gathered around the door, making it obvious at a glance that this group of people were so clumsy at eavesdropping.
