Yan Xinxin’s call drew the attention of everyone in the elevator.
Especially the young women, who stared at Yan Xinxin with wide eyes.
Xiao Yize looked at Yan Xinxin’s clear, beautiful eyes. He remained silent for several seconds before nodding lightly.
"Tch, so self-absorbed!"
Suddenly, a woman’s voice grumbled disdainfully.
Yan Xinxin froze briefly, realizing the comment was aimed at her.
Feeling a bit dense, she suddenly heard a man’s gentle greeting beside her.
She lifted her eyes in slight surprise to look at Xiao Yize.
He said "long time no see" to me?
Just as Yan Xinxin was still in disbelief, she heard Xiao Yize accurately call her name.
The elevator reached the 16th floor, and the door opened.
Yan Xinxin paused for a moment before stepping out, noticing Xiao Yize had also exited, followed by two young women.
One of them even shot Yan Xinxin a displeased glare.
It seemed that this was the woman who had ridiculed her in the elevator earlier.
But Yan Xinxin noticed the woman quickly changed her expression, putting on a smile as she approached Xiao Yize.
"Good morning, Young Master Xiao."
This woman is into this guy!
Yan Xinxin realized, but then she saw Xiao Yize completely ignore the woman and walk straight toward her.
The other woman’s smile froze, her face turning dark as she glared at them.
Standing in front of Yan Xinxin, Xiao Yize’s strikingly handsome face, with its uniquely alluring almond-shaped eyes, gazed at her.
"Yan Xinxin, long time no see."
Yan Xinxin looked bewildered and shocked.
"We really know each other?"
Xiao Yize nodded and extended his elegant, fair right hand to her.
"Huh? Xiao Yize? You’re Xiao Yize? The guy who always ranked ahead of me in the year-end exams, Xiao Yize?"
Yan Xinxin’s beautiful eyes widened even more.
Xiao Yize’s lips curved slightly upward.
Turns out, she hadn’t forgotten him.
The name Xiao Yize was clearly etched in Yan Xinxin’s memories.
Running into a high school classmate here, Yan Xinxin felt genuinely happy. Seeing Xiao Yize extend his hand in friendship, she reached out as well, and they shook hands cordially.
The woman from earlier watched this scene unfold and became utterly green-eyed!
The typically aloof and dignified Young Master Xiao was taking the initiative to shake hands with a woman for the first time!
Despite secretly admiring Xiao Yize for so long, despite her daily efforts to charm him, she had never managed to get so much as a glance from him!
What gave this Yan Xinxin the right!
"Sorry, I have something to attend to now. Let’s meet again if there’s an opportunity. Goodbye."
Yan Xinxin didn’t linger. She spun around and began searching for the interview location.
Xiao Yize stood at his spot, his gaze slowly growing dim.
The girl in his memories was now even more beautiful, even more breathtaking, making him even less brave enough to approach her.
Though he was the distinguished second young master of the Xiao family, outstanding in every way, when it came to the girl he adored, he inexplicably felt insignificant.
After wandering around the 16th floor for a bit, Yan Xinxin finally found the jewelry design department.
But she hadn’t expected that the woman attending to her would be the same one who had glared at her just moments ago.
Yan Xinxin couldn’t help but feel a sense of enemies meeting on a narrow path.
The woman looked at Yan Xinxin impatiently, glanced over her resume and portfolio, then suddenly displayed an odd expression, before ultimately sneering and tossing her resume and sketches onto the desk.
"Lady Yan, isn’t it? You can leave now."
Yan Xinxin was confused.
"You still have the nerve to ask why? All your work here is plagiarized. What more is there to say!"
