Chapter 49-50

Chapter 49. Passed the interview

For a person like Mo Xiaoyi, to call her in a nice way, she was considered quirky, but if to call her in a bad way? Err, since she was her best friend and housemate, Bao Er wouldn’t call her in a bad way. The whole reason for this interview was because Mo Xiaoyi wanted to come to this interview, yet she complained that she would feel too lonely, so Bao Er had to sacrifice her time to accompany her. She’d only planned to skim through this interview!

She originally thought that it was just for a normal institution’s assistant or secretary position, but she never imagined that it was the famous jewelry company “VK” from what Mo Xiaoyi told her. When she reached here she still couldn’t believe it.

Bao Er went back to school for about a month before it was time for their “internship season”. She initially planned to become an intern teacher in one of T city’s middle schools for three months, while Mo Xiaoyi already planned to intern in a jewelry institution. After that, due to multiple reasons, Bao Er was also being dragged here because Mo Xiaoyi claimed she felt too lonely being alone.

Would her profession be useful in this place if they come to this company? Furthermore, although the reputation of their school was okay, it was still a second-class college and it wasn’t on par with those reputable colleges. Bao Er really didn’t think they had much chances of getting in even when they came here, so she was only here to accompany Mo Xiaoyi.

Just when her brain was clearing up her thoughts, the door opened with the sound “ka cha”, then a middle-aged man in a formal suit walked in. Bao Er quickly stood up, then secretly tugged at Mo Xiaoyi. Mao Xiaoyi slowly shut off the video and stood up.

“Are you Miss Bai Bao Er and Miss Mo Xiaoyi?” The middle-aged man pushed up his black-framed glasses. Bao Er nodded after she heard him.

She originally thought he would start the interview after this, but that middle-aged man didn’t act according to the usual procedure and even said something that gave Bao Er a shock.

Walking out of “VK” in blur, Mo Xiaoyi wanted Bao Er to go shopping with her delightfully.

As a resident who grew up in T city, Mo Xiaoyi was very familiar with every nook and cranny of T city. Which place had the best food, which area had prettiest clothes – she was very familiar with those. Now that they had time, she naturally wanted to go for a round of shopping.

Bao Er’s face turned pale when she heard that. She shook her head and declined. What a joke, Mo Xiaoyi was a shopaholic herself, she wouldn’t have any problem shopping for five to six hours, and now she wanted her to accompany her while walking on high-heels!

“No, no, I’m not going. If you really want to shop why not you call Yue Yue, she has the same taste as you. You won’t like the ones that I choose.” Even when she was simply buying for herself.

Mo Xiaoyi nodded her head, feeling troubled. She scratched her hair messily. The initially cute and petite lady abruptly became a small gangster with nest-like hair. The only difference was that this gangster’s face looked much prettier than the normal female gangster.

“Yeah, your taste is very bad, you keep wanting to buy those types that aunties love to wear. Alright then, don’t go, I’ll find somebody else.”

Bao Er “……”

May I ask how T shirts and jeans became auntie style? Then how about your own auntie-like look right now?

Chapter 50. Going to work

The next morning, Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi followed the instructions of the middle-aged man yesterday and obediently went to report to the HR department of “VK”.

After that, they got assigned to their jobs. Of course, with their “social class”: Low academic background, their school’s reputation wasn’t that impressive, and the unfamiliarity of working in this jewelry industry, they naturally wouldn’t get assigned as a supervisor or any high position.

So they were individually assigned, though they ended up being assigned the same position – designer assistant.

“VK” was the big boss of the jewelry industry world, so its company building was very grand. Its geographical location was also very strategic. The promotional poster of their classical jewelry was hung on its exterior for the whole year that it was hard for people not to notice.

As for the company building, there were 29 floors in total. For a company building to reach 29 floors, the wealth behind it must be massive!

Next, it was about the designers working under “VK”. As we all know, the jewelry industry also needed to follow the current trend closely. Its design needed to fit the public tastes, it had to be special but should not be too peculiar, and it had to create the most suitable design according to each year’s main trend. Hence, a jewelry company like “VK” had many designers working under it.

Usually the designers, particularly the jewelry designers would have a slightly different personality than normal people. They might be more arrogant and hard to serve, so when the HR department wanted them to become their designers’ assistants, Bao Er already braced herself that she would try her best to hold on no matter how hard it might be to work under them.

“Alright, she’s here. I’ve already informed her beforehand, you can just enter.” That man from the HR department led them to the front of a door labeled “Liang Qing Qing’s office”. He left after saying that.

Bao Er took in a deep breath and tidied up the white dress on her body. Her lips curled upwards to an appropriate degree, then she lifted her hand and knocked on the door a few times.

“Come in, the door’s unlocked.” A uniquely childish doll-like voice came from inside. It gave her a small surprise.

Bao Er entered dutifully with her eyes looking straight ahead and her chest stretching upright. Because quoting Mo Xiaoyi’s words, she looked more energetic this way, and she also left her the words: A person like you doesn’t seem to have much energy, too dull and clumsy. Don’t leave a bad impression on your boss on the first day of work, so, better listen to me!

So Bao Er did as she was told.

“Hello…” Bao Er’s voice suddenly lagged because she didn’t know how to address her.

Later she thought that it was rude if she stopped talking in the middle of her sentence, so she silently skipped the part to address her and continued with her self-introduction.

“I am an intern that just came to ‘VK’. My name is Bao Er, I hope in the following days, I can learn a lot from you, senior.” There were not many highlights in her words because she was not someone who could talk well. So she could only give such an average speech.

After she finished talking, a minute had passed but there was no response. After two minutes, she heard the noise of “ka cha ka cha” of someone eating potato chips. It sounded very strange in this quiet office.

“Eh eh, when did you come in!” Liang Qing Qing’s loud exclamation pulled back Bao Er’s wandering thoughts.

Sighing, she could only repeat what she just said just now. The person obviously did not hear what she was saying at all because she seemed to be watching a movie and eating potato chips.

“A new hire? Wu, I love new hires, they’re the cutest. Come, don’t restrain yourself, sit anywhere you like!” Her childish-like voice rang beside her ears sweetly. Her tone and motion also looked very enthusiastic.

Alright, Bao Er sat down obediently.

“Come, drink a glass of water.” Liang Qing Qing poured her a glass of water, making Bao Er feel surprised to be pampered.

“Don’t be scared, I am a normal human being just like you, not a devil nor do I eat humans.” Liang Qing Qing spoke beside Bao Er’s ears. Her delicate doll face looked extremely good-looking.

“Also, don’t call me senior. Call me Qing Qing or if you’re younger than me just call me Qing Qing Jie, it’s fine.”

Bao Er opened her mouth and slowly let out a laugh before calling her Qing Qing Jie.

Flowers seemed to bloom out of this superior’s doll-like face as she smiled. She then muttered to herself. “Like I said, new hires are the cutest.”

Soon, Bao Er would understand the meaning of her words.
