After being chased by the male protagonist in Chapter 6, I passed the civil service exam.
Xu Zhixia felt that he was a good person for saving her and that he hadn't gone along with that lunatic.
No wonder he works under that kind of person.
It turns out they were forced into it.
The penalty for breach of contract is a huge sum, probably more than an average person could earn in a lifetime.
"Then what will you do? Are you going to work there forever?" Xu Zhixia couldn't help but ask, "Won't it affect you in the long run?"
Xu's father glanced at Xiaxia.
"Although I can't just quit my job, I already have other ideas in mind."
"You mean you want to take the civil service exam?" Xu's father looked at him with surprise.
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Only by passing the civil service exam can any unfair contracts be unconditionally terminated."
Mrs. Xu exclaimed in surprise, "I thought your company was pretty good, that they provided you with such a nice car."
“Aunt Xu, my job is 24/7, no days off. I'm in charge of everything at the company, including my boss’s private life, but I only get a fixed salary.” Ji Huaizhi said helplessly.
"It's still a 40-year contract. If I resign, I'll have to pay 30 million in compensation."
Hearing his words, Xu's mother became angry: "What?"
"You signed a contract that sold you into servitude, didn't you!"
Mr. Xu was also stunned: "When you graduated?"
"I was blinded by the high salary when I graduated," Ji Huaizhi admitted.
Mr. Xu, being a university professor, could understand that students are typically unemployed upon graduation.
Not to mention he was an orphan and had no sense of belonging.
They must have wanted to earn more money to buy a house, which is why they got scammed.
Have you consulted a lawyer about this?
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "The lawyer said that although there are problems with that contract, it has my signature and is legally valid."
When Xu's father heard his words, he sighed and patted his shoulder: "You are still young. Keep this mindset. You are so outstanding that you have already thought about your future. Then work hard."
“Taking the civil service exam is the right thing to do. I have many students who are recent graduates who are applying. I’ll send you some materials later.”
"You can ask me about any positions you're unfamiliar with."
Ji Huaizhi picked up his juice: "Then thank you, Uncle Xu."
After listening, Xu Zhixia glanced at Ji Huaizhi a few times.
I never expected him to be in such a terrible state.
“You can also ask me,” Xu Zhixia said softly, then added when she saw everyone looking at her, “I have a friend who got in. She enrolled in a class on her own, so I can ask her what class she took.”
"Thank you then." Ji Huaizhi smiled at her.
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure." Xu Zhixia blinked and buried her head in her food.

After dinner, Ji Huaizhi was helping Xu's mother clear the table when the phone in his pocket rang.
“You answer the phone, I’ll do it myself. How can I let the customer do it?”
"Sorry." Ji Huaizhi went to the balcony to answer the phone.
As Xu Zhixia was clearing away the dishes, she heard him answer the phone. The voice on the other end was familiar, so she knew it was that lunatic calling.
"Where have you been?" Gu Moyuan's voice was impatient. "Assistant Ji, shouldn't you be in your office right now?"
Ji Huaizhi spoke after standing outside on the balcony, looking at Xu Zhixia's figure inside: "I'm having dinner at my girlfriend's house."
The man inside seemed surprised by the answer: "When did you start dating?"
"We just talked."
Just then, Xu Zhixia looked up and glanced at him.
"Assistant Ji, don't forget your place. You're on duty right now," Gu Moyuan said coldly.
"Mr. Gu, I don't even have a time to leave work, so what does it matter when I come over for dinner?" This was the first time Ji Huaizhi had spoken to him like this.
"Come back now, immediately!"
Gu Moyuan's voice clearly indicated anger.
After hanging up the phone, his expression was grim: "Is he defying me?"
Ji Huaizhi put away his phone and went inside. He said to Xu's parents, "My boss told me to go back. I have to go now. I'll come to visit another day."
Mrs. Xu frowned: "Did your boss yell at you?"
"fine."
Hearing his answer, Xu's mother felt that the boss was really petty: "You should go back quickly, lest your boss cause you trouble."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Zhixia and said, "Give what I just packed to Xiao Ji."
Xu Zhixia handed over a food box.
"This is the food I just packed for you. You can have it for dinner when you're done with your work." Xu's mother also felt sorry for him being all alone.
"What should we do then?"
"What's wrong with it?" Mrs. Xu said indifferently, "Take it, take it."
"Old Xu, take Xiao Ji downstairs." These were the words Xu's mother said to Xu's father.
Mr. Xu nodded: "I know."
After saying that, Xu's mother went to the kitchen.
Ji Huaizhi looked at Xu Zhixia: "Thank you for your hospitality. I'm sorry to have troubled your family today."
Xu Zhixia shook her head: "It's nothing, you saved me, I should be thanking you."
Ji Huaizhi: "Of course."
After saying that, Ji Huaizhi followed Xu's father out the door.
When they arrived at the company, Secretary Li, wearing a bodycon skirt, swayed gracefully as she approached Ji Huaizhi to remind him:
"President Gu wants to see you in his office. By the way, President Gu isn't in a good mood, so please be careful."
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Thank you."
As soon as Ji Huaizhi entered the office, Gu Moyuan threw a file at him.
Just when he thought he was about to slap Ji Huaizhi in the face, Ji Huaizhi unexpectedly stepped aside.
"You dare to hide?"
Ji Huaizhi: "If I didn't avoid it, I would have to take a leave of absence and then report it as a work injury."
"Ji Huaizhi, do you think that now that I've handed the company over to you, Gu's Group can't do without you?" Gu Moyuan roared, his face dark. "Let me tell you, you're nothing without Gu's Group!"
"Without me, could you have gotten to where you are today?"
"If I fire you, I can make it impossible for you to work in this industry with just one sentence. Who do you think would dare to hire you?"
Ji Huaizhi clasped his hands in front of his stomach: "President Gu, why are you angry?"
"Just because I wasn't in the office this morning?"
Gu Moyuan couldn't explain why either.
He just can't stand him now.
He gets a nameless rage when someone praises his abilities or other things in front of him.
He's managing the Gu family business better and better now, but he just can't stand him more and more.
It's the same face, but it just doesn't look as good as before.
She even felt that he could threaten her position.
Do I need to give you reasons why I hate you?
Looking at his calm demeanor, Gu Moyuan felt that same feeling again: "Don't come to work tomorrow. Stay home and reflect on your actions."
