Xiao Xun's expression softened considerably after taking the laptop. "Do I need to sign anything for you?" he asked Yang Jingli.
Yang Jingli waved his hands. "No, no need. If you need anything, just send your assistant. If it's in our warehouse, you can take whatever you want. If not, I'll find a way."
Several security guards followed Xiao Xun out. As they walked, Xiao Xun thought, *That's right! I have an assistant. Why should I be doing these things myself?* The mere thought of Lei Wenxiu gave him a headache.
Looking at the older security guard beside him, he remembered something. "Didn't you say your daughter is a top student and wants to interview? Where is she?"
The middle-aged security guard was initially taken aback, then his face lit up. "I thought you just casually agreed that day when you were drunk. You're really letting her come to work?"
"What casually agreed? Have her come now. As long as she passes the interview."
The middle-aged security guard kept nodding, overjoyed. "Okay, okay, I'll call her right away."
Because of this small interruption, Xiao Xun wasn't in a very good mood, and he lacked enthusiasm for his work.
However, the company's entire system was running normally. The technical department only needed to handle regular maintenance and other minor details, so they weren't too busy.
But the product research and development department needed to debug applications, so they often asked him, the technical director, to personally oversee things.
After lunch, since there was no office, only a cubicle, he went to the building's common lounge area to rest.
The security guard directly led a young woman with a ponytail, wearing a pink plaid shirt, jeans, and white sneakers, to Xiao Xun. "This is my daughter." He then said to the shy girl beside him, "This is our company's Director Xiao."
The girl was even thinner than Secretary Fan. She timidly greeted, "Hello, Director."
Xiao Xun gestured to the sofa beside him. "Have a seat!" He then said to the security guard, "You can go back first. I'll conduct the interview."
The girl kept looking at her father. Her father waved for her to sit there and answer questions, and perform well.
Xiao Xun cleared his throat gently. "What did you major in at university?"
"My major was atomic energy and astrophysics."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun thought, *Wow, she's really in nuclear weapons.*
"Then why don't you look for a job that matches your major?"
It was clear the girl was very nervous. She clutched her pants tightly with both hands and dared not look at Xiao Xun, keeping her head down.
After a long pause, she finally whispered in a voice like a mosquito, "I can't find one."
Xiao Xun hadn't actually interviewed anyone before. He was a 'shut-in' himself, and when he first graduated, he was even more introverted and shy than the girl in front of him. "Please introduce yourself."
The girl thought for a moment. "My name is Guan Jiawen. I have a bachelor's degree and a bachelor's degree. I'm twenty-four this year. I like reading and listening to music..."
Xiao Xun made a gesture to stop her. "Guan Jiawen, right? That's a nice name. Where did you work before?"
As soon as she heard Xiao Xun compliment her, Guan Jiawen's face flushed. She stammered, "I haven't worked before."
"Not even part-time jobs?"
Seeing her about to nod but then shaking her head, he thought that since she was like him, living off her parents, if he didn't give her this job, she would probably be useless except for getting married.
"Then are you willing to join Saint Roman Group and become my assistant?"
Facing Xiao Xun's question, Guan Jiawen's eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Xun in disbelief.
She blurted out, "Yes, of course..."
Thinking it was just past noon, "Have you eaten?"
Before Guan Jiawen could speak, her stomach rumbled, betraying her. She kept her head down, not daring to speak.
She had just finished making dinner and hadn't even eaten yet when she received a call from her father and rushed over.
"I'll let your father know later. The probation period is one week. If there are no problems within the week, your salary for the next month will include the seven days of probation. If you don't pass the probation period, you won't get paid a penny. Can you accept this?"
Guan Jiawen nodded, her face still flushed red.
"Let's go! I'll take you to get something to eat first. Your internship starts this afternoon."
Guan Jiawen was even more shy than Xiao Xun was the first time he went to the cafeteria. Xiao Xun gave her his employee badge. "Take this and swipe it on the machine if you want anything to eat."
After Guan Jiawen finished eating, Xiao Xun took her to the temporary office. "We were supposed to be on the tenth floor, but something happened last night, and it needs to be redecorated. You'll be working here temporarily for the next few days."
"What do I need to do?"
Although her voice was very low, Xiao Xun still heard her. "There are many things you need to do, mainly tidying up the office's internal affairs. However, I only have a cubicle right now, so there's not much to tidy. You'll also be receiving and sending documents, finding leaders to sign them, taking meeting minutes, and..."
He couldn't think of everything at once, so he called Lei Wenxiu, who was watching dramas nearby.
"Let me introduce you, this is our new colleague, Guan Jiawen. She'll be my secretary from now on. Please mentor her these next few days. Don't forget to take her to the human resources department later to get her temporary employee badge for the probation period."
Lei Wenxiu seemed a little displeased but said nothing. She looked Guan Jiawen up and down and said coldly, "Follow me."
Guan Jiawen always looked at the soles of her shoes, as if she was too ashamed to face anyone. Xiao Xun wasn't sure how long someone like her could last in this complex workplace.
After visiting Director Liu in the afternoon, there was nothing else to do.
An hour before work ended, a message arrived on his phone from President Mu.
"Wait for me in the garage now."
These seven words were like a royal decree.
A moment later, Chu Xiangning also sent a message. "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
As Xiao Xun walked towards the elevator, he replied to Chu Xiangning, "Some other time. My boss called me for something today."
The other party replied with a wronged emoji, then another with a funny face, followed by two words, "Okay!"
After getting into the car, he looked up the function of each button on the internet, then checked the functions of the dashboard lights. Once confirmed, he started the car.
Before long, Mu Jiahe came out of the elevator, followed by Secretary Gao, the deputy general manager, the deputy general manager's secretary, and two presidential assistants.
Xiao Xun really wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He suddenly understood the meaning of that song: 'I should be under the car, not in the car.'
Secretary Gao quickly opened the car door and discovered Xiao Xun in the driver's seat.
Her expression was slightly surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and said nothing.
Mu Jiahe stood in front of the car. "Remember what I told you. We don't have much time. I want to see results in two months." After speaking, he turned and got into the back seat.
He then said to Secretary Gao, "You go with them too."
Secretary Gao nodded. Everyone who had escorted the president to the car saw Xiao Xun in the driver's seat and thought the same thing: the rumors from this morning were true.
Xiao Xun first drove the car out of the garage, then glanced at the rearview mirror. "President Mu, where are we going now?"
"SL Shopping Center."
