Chapter 5 The Noble Academy's Substitute (5) I'll let you off this time...
Chapter Five
Xia Zhi waited patiently for Xie Yi's reply, but the next second, Xie Yi slowly said, "Don't let Lin Yue come here in the future, and stay away from Lin Yue."
Xia Zhi was a little confused as to why Xie Yi was so resistant to Lin Yue, as this was completely different from the original plot.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
Xie Yi's answer was simple: "No reason, it's just an exchange of conditions."
Xia Zhi thought about her mission, so she paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry, I also have my own friends and my own life."
She suddenly realized that Xie Yi was very controlling, something she had never noticed before.
Xie Yi paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Zhizhi, do you really have to do this?"
Xia Zhi repeated, "Thank you, I appreciate your willingness to help me, but I don't want to give up some of my principles for it."
Xia Zhi was a little annoyed when Xie Yi didn't respond for a long time, so she quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi was a little confused. She didn't understand why Xie Yi had made this condition. But now they must have fallen out, at least Xie Yi wouldn't help her anymore.
Xia Zhi sighed silently. It seemed that she would need to find another internship opportunity before the story was completed.
Back in her dorm, she planned to search online again. This time, she was lucky and quickly got a job interview. It was with a large company, and Xia Zhi specifically looked up some basic information about them. The interview was scheduled for this afternoon, and Xia Zhi couldn't understand why they were in such a hurry.
But since she had been scheduled for an interview, she had to go. The company was hiring for a support intern position, mainly responsible for communicating the work needs of various departments. Xia Zhi quickly put on her business attire and prepared to head to the interview.
Although this world is just a novel, the plot isn't progressing that fast, so Xia Zhi has to find an internship to avoid ruining her character.
The company is located on the seaside avenue; the entire building belongs to this company. For some reason, Xia Zhi has a bad feeling about it.
She arrived at the company quickly, and as soon as she entered the first floor, she saw the receptionist on the phone.
Xia Zhi walked over, and just as she was about to ask, the other person smiled at her and said, "Are you here for an interview?"
Xia Zhi seemed a little confused, but she nodded nonetheless.
The other person said softly, "Your name is Xia Zhi, right? Our boss is waiting for you upstairs."
Xia Zhi nodded. Wasn't the position she was interviewing for just an assistant intern? Why did it involve the boss?
However, she followed the receptionist to the top floor as instructed, and was immediately stunned by the view. The company's view was truly excellent, offering an unobstructed panorama of beauty.
There was a room on the far left; the receptionist gestured for her to go in.
Xia Zhi went inside, only to find it empty.
The receptionist smiled and explained, "The boss will be here shortly."
At this moment, Xia Zhi finally sensed that something was extremely wrong. She recalled everything; while her resume wasn't particularly outstanding, it was definitely acceptable. The fact that she hadn't been able to schedule an interview could only mean that someone was interfering.
She mostly applied to large companies, and she suddenly remembered what Cong Yi had said…
Could it be that they were the ones interfering?
Xia Zhi composed herself, then suddenly heard footsteps approaching. She instinctively turned around and saw Xie Yi.
He wore a white shirt and black suit trousers, his fair skin clearly indicating a life of luxury. His hair was light black, and his almond-shaped eyes were full of mockery. He looked down at Xia Zhi, who was sitting in the chair, giving off an innate sense of superiority and oppression.
Xia Zhi looked at him with some confusion, then belatedly realized that it was all Xie Yi's doing.
However, because this was a company premises with surveillance cameras, Xia Zhi simply said softly, "Hello, my name is Xia Zhi."
Xie Yi hummed in agreement, then sat down opposite Xia Zhi and said casually, "Let me introduce myself first."
Xia Zhi could only begin to introduce herself, but she soon realized that Xie Yi wasn't listening attentively. Instead, he was staring at her blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Xia Zhi coughed lightly, then said helplessly, "How long are you going to keep making a scene?"
The employee who was about to bring over the tea couldn't help but gasp. Everyone knew that Xie Yi, the only son of the Xie family, was like a royal decree. How could someone speak to him like that!
Because Mr. Xie and his family doted on Xie Yi, the company's employees didn't dare to say much, since he was definitely the only heir, which meant he was essentially the boss.
Xie Yi didn't reply, but instead looked down and flipped through Xia Zhi's resume.
The receptionist came over. "Mr. Xie, where should we put this?"
Xie Yi said calmly, "Put it on that table over there."
Xia Zhi looked at him quietly, a strange feeling flashing through her mind. She had always thought they were all awful rich kids, but today it seemed she really didn't know them well enough.
After all, he was about to inherit the family business in this world.
Xia Zhi vaguely realized she had been careless, so she composed herself and said, "President Xie, I was rude just now. Do we still need an interview?"
Xie Yi looked up at her, his eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Then he said softly, "Yes, I have a question for you."
Xia Zhi nodded, looking serious.
Xie Yi smiled. "Why can't you grant my request?"
The receptionist silently placed the tea on the table, glancing cautiously at Xia Zhi. She was indeed very beautiful, and… the receptionist suddenly gasped. Good heavens, she had seen this person in President Xie's office! In a photograph.
She is smiling brightly in the photo, and the photo is very clean, which shows the care the owner of the frame took.
The receptionist cautiously walked out, thinking to herself, "Mr. Xie must really like that girl."
Xia Zhi was taken aback when Xie Yi brought up the morning's events in such a formal setting. She was momentarily stunned and didn't know how to explain.
Xie Yi stared at her intently, seemingly patiently waiting for her answer.
Why is it necessary to be friends with Lin Yue?
Xia Zhi felt a little bitter. "I...I've never had many friends. I really like Lin Yue."
Xie Yi tilted her head slightly, seemingly a little puzzled, "Aren't we your friends?"
Looking back on the past three years, Xia Zhi realized she hadn't made any friends. Now, she wondered if it was them causing the trouble.
Xia Zhi sighed silently, "President Xie, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Xie Yi suddenly spoke coldly, "The interview isn't over yet."
Xia Zhi could only sit down again and then look at Xie Yi.
This time, Xie Yi asked her some interview questions very seriously. Then, he said, "Go home and wait for a call or some news."
Xia Zhi nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yi looked at Xia Zhi's obedient expression and his Adam's apple bobbed. He casually lowered his head, stroked the gold necklace with his hand, and chuckled, "It's alright, I'll let you off this time, but I might not next time."
Xia Zhi didn't hear Xie Yi's words clearly, so she asked again, "Mr. Xie, what did you say?"
Xie Yi shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about other things."
Xia Zhi nodded, "Okay, then I'll go first."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded.
Xia Zhi went outside and found that the employees outside were looking at her curiously, with some probing eyes.
Xia Zhi forced a smile and then walked out of the company.
"Xiao Qi, why do you think Xie Yi did this? This is different from the original plot!"
【Zhizhi! I don't know either!】
Xia Zhi asked impatiently, "Where is the plot at now?"
The plot has deviated a bit and is different from before. You decide what to do; I'm a little confused too. Anyway, once they all fall in love with the female lead, you'll become a pawn.
Xia Zhi choked for a moment upon hearing this, "Let me improvise?"
Yes! Knitting!
Xia Zhi: ...
She sighed silently, "So, the goal is just to make them fall in love with the female lead, right?"
[Yes! Because this is a tragic story, it will be quite complicated. According to the original plot, they would both hate her and uncontrollably fall in love with her! Although the current plot is strange...]
Xia Zhi thought for a moment, "Then the only thing I can do now is to give them more opportunities to meet! They'll develop feelings over time!"
【Yes! Let's knit!】
Xia Zhi thought about it carefully for a moment, and then slowly said, "But seeing how resistant they are to Lin Yue, I have to find a way to get them used to Lin Yue's presence."
