Gao Ge stared at her for a long moment, then said with a half-smile, "No need for that. How could I take the newbie's office? If word got out, people would think I was bullying the newbie."
She kept calling Xia Xi "newcomer", and it sounded like she was not very convinced of him.
Lu Mingji frowned and was about to explain for Xia Xi when he was interrupted by a voice: "Excuse me, who is Ms. Xia Xi?"
Xia Xi responded: "I am."
The coffee she ordered from the coffee shop downstairs was delivered. Two waiters, each carrying two baskets, each containing six cups of various flavors.
Xia Xi ordered them to put the coffee on an empty desk and turned to look at everyone: "Nice to meet you all, please have a cup of coffee."
"Thank you, Mr. Xia."
"I'm so sleepy. I was just about to order a cup of coffee. You saved me money, haha."
"Then I won't be polite."
Responses came one after another, and everyone went to pick out their favorite coffee. Xia Xi got herself a cup of coconut Americano and walked leisurely to her own office.
Since Gao Ge said no, there was no need for her to refuse.
It's really hypocritical to argue over an office.
Seeing that Xia Xi didn't mind, Lu Mingji didn't bother to argue with Gao Ge anymore. She was a bit arrogant because of her talent, but once she saw Xia Xi's ability in the future, she would naturally be convinced by her.
Gao Ge's assistant Yu Xiaoxiao brought a cup of mocha: "Engineer Gao, if you like to drink, I got it for you."
"Do I need a cup of coffee?"
Gao Ge rolled his eyes, spoke in a cold voice, did not take the cup of coffee, turned his head and went back to his office.
Xia Xi, right? She wants to see how much talent she has in her belly, so that she can be the main case right away. When she was her age, she was still an ordinary designer.
In the office, Xia Xi put down her bag, turned on her computer, downloaded some frequently used software, and sorted out some information. She had no projects at hand at the moment, so she was happy to relax.
At noon, Xia Xi went out to have a meal alone. Lu Mingji had originally invited her, but she did not go with him to avoid suspicion.
After lunch break, Xia Xi took a decoration magazine from the bookshelf and started reading it.
There was a knock on the office door, and she looked up from her book: "Come in."
The person who came to see her was Lu Mingji. He stood at the door but didn't go in. He waved at her and said, "Follow me."
Xia Xi closed the book and asked, "What's up?"
"There's an interview going on in the next conference room, go and take a look." Lu Mingji said bluntly.
Xia Xi pointed at herself, suspecting he had called the wrong person: "I'm not HR, why would I go to an interview?"
Lu Mingji: "If I choose an assistant for you, of course you have to go and see who they are. What if the person they choose doesn't suit your taste?"
Xia Xi was amused. This was about choosing an assistant, not a partner. It didn't matter whether they had good chemistry or not.
Thinking this in her heart, she did not refuse Lu Mingji's intention. She took a notebook and a pen from the table, tucked them under her arm, walked out of the office, pushed open the door of the next meeting room, and put on a serious face.
After all, I'm an interviewer, so I have to pretend.
"Mr. Xia, sit here." HR Ms. Zhao pointed to the empty chair next to her and greeted Xia Xi.
Xia Xi smiled at her and sat over.
There was a row of people waiting for interviews up ahead. Seeing the interviewers arrive, they all perked up. One of the girls blinked in disbelief when she saw Xia Xi, unable to conceal her surprise.
After the formal start, several people introduced themselves in turn and answered questions from the interviewer.
Xia Xi supported her chin with one hand and flipped through a stack of resumes at hand. It was her first time to be an interviewer and she had little experience. Her main task was to listen and she basically didn't ask any questions, unlike Sister Zhao, whose questions were sharp and sophisticated.
Just as I flipped through the resume of a girl named Huang Shiyu, I heard a pleasant female voice: "Hello everyone, my name is Huang Shiyu, the same Huang Shiyu as 'Plum Huang Shiyu'. I graduated from the Department of Architecture at Nancheng University and am a master's student..."
Xia Xi raised her eyebrows. She was her junior from Nancheng University.
Just as she was thinking this, she was called by her name by a junior named Huang Shiyu. "Yes, I'm Xia Gong's junior. I didn't expect to meet her here before I came here. Senior Xia is very outstanding in our school. My advisor, Professor Li Zongyu, has mentioned her works during her time at school many times and praised her highly. I also admire her very much and hope to have the opportunity to work with her. This is my portfolio, please feel free to give me some advice."
Huang Shiyu stepped forward and handed over a printed collection.
HR's Zhao glanced meaningfully at Xia Xi, who shook her head and laughed. Honestly, she felt a little ashamed by the praise. She was a Nanjing University dropout, so how could she deserve Professor Li Zongyu's constant praise?
After everyone finished their interviews and left the meeting room, several interviewers voted among themselves to see who was the most suitable candidate.
Sister Zhao asked Xia Xi for her opinion: "What do you think?"
Xia Xi said modestly, "Boss Lu wanted me to come and join in the fun, not to make the decision. When it comes to selecting people, of course, you, Sister Zhao, are more adept."
Sister Zhao was delighted by the compliment and pointed at Huang Shiyu's resume. "Her resume is truly outstanding. She answered questions clearly and logically. She's also your junior and admires you very much. I'm quite optimistic about her."
The others also had a good impression of Huang Shiyu, and after some discussion, they decided to hire her.
Xia Xi had no objection: "Then it's her."
After the meeting, Xia Xi was the first to grab her things and leave the meeting room. Several people who had come for the interview were still there, admiring the work displayed on the wall while waiting for the results.
Huang Shiyu's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Xi. He ran up to her with his bag in his arms and asked cautiously, "Senior Xia, was I chosen?"
