Qin Xun followed Cheng Wan to her office.
Xia Ning watched their receding figures. Recalling her slip of warning Qin Xun someone's coming, she felt ashamed.
She softly slapped herself.
"Disgrace!"
...
Over 10 minutes later.
Qin Xun returned to his seat unfocused, dazed.
He stared blankly at the empty computer screen.
Spaced out...
Spaced out...
Spaced out...
For a full 10 minutes he didn't move at all.
Xia Ning secretly observed Qin Xun. Her mood improved somewhat.
Let's see if the windfall gift can tempt you!
Spacing out for so long, he must be feeling guilty for his past slacking!
At least you still have some conscience!
Very little though!
Suddenly, she saw him snap back to attention. His expression was stern as he muttered:
"A great man strong and unyielding, not lusting after riches."
"Screw it!"
"They want to force me, no way I'll agree!"
Qin Xun then took out his phone to play his game again.
Just now in his office, he did struggle internally when signing the contract.
10k monthly salary.
Taking effect today!
For that split second he found it hard to decide.
A huge pie dropped from the sky? Something is fishy! 80% Sis Cheng has her eyes on me! She must have said nice things about me to convince the higher ups to sign me to such a fat contract!
But!
I don't like a small cart pulling a big load!
Or...could this be the System's lucky aura?
Hearing "indecent relations", Xia Ning shuddered wondering about Qin Xun's thought process.
But on second thought, it did seem the most logical explanation?
Who wants to take advantage of him?
Who cares!
After moment, unable to resist, she poked Qin Xun's arm with her pen.
Seeing him turn, she hesitantly asked, "You mentioned indecent relations?"
Qin Xun played his game and softly replied, "It's rather embarrassing to say."
"I just signed the contract, converted and getting paid today. You tell me, how could there be such good things in this world?"
"It must be someone trying to force relations with me. Maybe Sis Cheng, but whoever it is, man or woman, I won't agree."
"I don't like older partners, not even one day older."
He grew increasingly agitated.
Xia Ning's expression worsened. She suddenly asked, "How old are you?"
"21," Qin Xun answered.
"I'm 24," Xia Ning said.
Qin Xun glanced at her. "Why mention this?"
"I'm older than you," Xia Ning replied.
Qin Xun sneered coldly.
Humph...women!
Xia Ning smiled and gently asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
She looked at Qin Xun somewhat expectantly.
Staring at his phone while killing enemies, cold lights flashed in Qin Xun's eyes.
"I'll work properly."
"But no way to forced relations!"
He turned to Xia Ning.
"Once I get my internship proof in half a month, I'm fleeing. Getting paid so high, I'd feel bad slacking here."
"I can't just rely on scamming one company!"
Xia Ning forced a smile.
"You're quite a good guy!"
After a pause, staring at his speedy gaming fingers, she reminded:
"Then...work hard!"
Qin Xun turned to Xia Ning in disbelief.
"What work is there?"
"Since I joined, the whole company hasn't gotten a single project."
"I'm a planner now without work, what do I plan?"
He showed his phone.
"You think I like slacking? I'm forced by helplessness!"
Xia Ning faltered.
Somehow, she found it somewhat reasonable.
Huh...
What reason?!
Fallacy!!!
After a while, Qin Xun put his phone down and told Xia Ning:
"Go quickly sign your contract!"
"This company may go under any day. Without a contract, you can't get salary or unemployment benefits - huge loss."
Xia Ning stared wide-eyed at Qin Xun.
After a long pause, she squeezed out a smile.
"You're quite a good guy."
Having said that, she went to Cheng Wan's office.
In Cheng Wan's office.
Xia Ning sat behind the executive desk authoritative like a powerful woman.
Cheng Wan, experienced in the industry, became like a little quail besides her.
Xia Ning suddenly recalled how Qin Xun thought she wanted to force relations with him. Finding it really contrived, she laughed.
"Qin Xun said he doesn't like older partners."
Cheng Wan blanked out for a bit. Seeing Xia Ning's meaningful smile, she grew nervous.
She tried to console:
"Boss Xia, you look just like a 18, 19 year old girl."
Xia Ning's smile froze.
She knew Cheng Wan misunderstood!
Cheng Wan must think she likes Qin Xun, thus hurriedly converting and promoting him.
Xia Ning sighed, too lazy to explain.
After all, Qin Xun hasn't shown her his true worth today.
Throw him out tomorrow!
The further the better!
She instructed Cheng Wan:
"Get me an intern planning assistant contract. I'll join in that position."
Cheng Wan was astonished but didn't dare object. She brought over the contract.
Seeing the salary - a pitiful 2,000 yuan, Xia Ning asked:
"Interns only get 2k?"
Somewhat smug, Cheng Wan explained:
"Lots of new grads enjoy office internships now. Although 2k doesn't easily attract people, you certainly can hire someone."
"It saves the company a lot."
Xia Ning indifferently glanced at Cheng Wan.
"Change it to 3500 going forward."
"I'm richer than you think. I can afford the loss."
"I'd rather spend 10k to hire someone decent than 2k on a...Slacking King!"
Cheng Wan was stunned.
She thought of the talented Qin Xun.
Ah! The power of love!
After Xia Ning signed, she created and typed up a document on Cheng Wan's computer:
"Cheng Wan, first thing in the afternoon, assign this task to Qin Xun."
Cheng Wan glanced at it and was shocked internally.
"Planning a city-shocking charity show with 'charity' as the theme, displaying the company's strengths to all enterprises in the city, make it big in one shot."
"Budget: 50k!"
Although a HR person, her years in the industry told her this would be extremely difficult.
She couldn't help sympathizing with Qin Xun.
See, dislike older women?
Look!
Offended someone you shouldn't!
