At the Ji Corporation headquarters, the man sat on a chair in the meeting room swiveling in a relaxed manner, he gazed deep into the space before he turned back to the resumes on his table. He picked the one on the top and quirked his lips.
"Li Nuan, welcome to my world.
Whoever sent you will soon witness how to be beaten at one's own game".
He pressed the call button on the table and his assistant came in.
Take these. He handed two resumes to the assistant. One on each hand.
Contact and tell them they got the job.
He pointed to the resume on the assistants' right hand, Li Nuan, for the personal secretary job. To the one on the left hand , Xu Tangxin, for the general secretary job.
...
Li Nuan just got back to her apartment when she received another call but this time, from the office of Ji Fei - President of the Ji Corporation.
Good afternoon, am I unto Miss Li Nuan? The assistant asked when the call got connected.
Yes, Li Nuan on the line. Who is this please? she asked while taking off her shoes to change into a house slippers.
This is Lan Xicheng from the Ji corporation president office. After careful consideration of your application to the position of a personal secretary, we are glad to inform you that you have just been confirmed to the Ji Corporation President office.
Your start date will be recorded as at September 4th, 20xx. Kindly report early to get familiarized with the working environment. More details on the salary and remuneration will be sent to your email shortly.
Li Nuan listened from the beginning to the end but was still unable to comprehend what was going on.
Is it as easy as this? To get employed as the personal secretary for Ji Fei the devil? Is it just me or does this seem too easy? Something is fishy here but I can't lay hands on it.
Hello?
The voice at the other end of the phone brought her out of her seamless thoughts.
Alright, thank you for informing me. I'll sure be there on time. She gave a response and dropped the call immediately.
Why does she not sound happy at all...tch
Other people will be more than happy to be able to work here. Especially with the president.
The assistant rambled and went ahead to call the other candidate that got accepted.
The word reached Ji Fei where he sat and he smiled.
"She is not happy?
She'll sure get happy in days to come"
...
Li Nuan gave Mo Chuan a call. He was her best friend and a former member of the organization. He left about a year back after a mission that nearly claimed his life.
Chuan!
She called out when the call got connected.
Nuan why was your line not...
Mo Chuan was yet to finish his sentence when a chirpy voice rang from the background .
Xiao Nuan!! You bastard!
That was Li Chengzi, their other friend and the chirpy one of the three.
Chengzi! Say that one more time! Li Nuan raged from the other side of the phone where she had changed into a tight fitting jean and jacket with her hair tied to a bun and her motorbike keys dangling in her hands.
Li Nuan, you bastard! What can you do now that I've said it again? By now, Li Chengzi had snatched the phone away from Mo Chuan.
You sure are itching for a beating! Li Nuan got on her motorbike but was yet to ignite it. Give the phone back to Chuan you little bird! So chirpy for a boy.
Who is a bird? Your whole family is the bird! Li Nuan, you are a goat! Chengzi fired back at the mention of the word bird.
Mo Chuan collected his phone from him and resumed his conversation with Li Nuan.
Care to come out for a drink?
Okay, I'll meet you at the usual spot. She hung up and with that, she started her bike and left the apartment.
You two want to ditch me to go out alone again? No way! I'm clinging to you and you're taking me along whether you like it or not! Li Chengzi voice rang out again immediately Chuan dropped the phone.
Shut up! Are you a bird? always chirping. Chuan made a disgusting face at him.
Chengzi retorted back immediately.
You're the bird! The both of you must be crazy to think I'm a bird!
I am a cute, white, fluffy rabbit.
Okay, brother fluffy rabbit. Will you shut your mouth now? Too chirpy for a little rabbit
Who said I was a little rabbit? I'm a cute big rabbit.
By now, they were already on their way to meet Li Nuan
Alright, brother big rabbit.
Don't put brother!
Alright, alright, you can shut up now.
