Bai Yixuan, though uneasy, saw Ling Chuxia so insistent and sighed, finally agreeing to her request.
Ling Chuxia slightly curved her lips and sincerely said, "Brother Xuan, thank you."
Though Ling Chuxia said her health was fine, Bai Yixuan still insisted she rest at home for a few days. Only when her complexion didn’t look so terrible and her spirits had recovered did he take her to the company for an interview.
In reality, calling it an interview was just a formality. Since graduating from university, Ling Chuxia had never worked and had no job experience, making her resume blank. Thus, there was no way to assign her any important position. In the end, she could only be temporarily placed as a junior assistant to familiarize herself with the company and learn the work process thoroughly before gradually moving up.
While only a junior assistant, Ling Chuxia was quite satisfied. She hadn’t worked in society before but knew well how fierce the competition was. Even just for a junior assistant position, many people fiercely competed. If it weren’t for... Bai Yixuan pulling some strings, she might not have gotten the position.
Bai Yixuan, feeling a bit apologetic, looked at Ling Chuxia and spoke with a bit of a heavy tone, "Xiaxia, I originally wanted you to work directly under me. Now... you can only be a junior assistant in the marketing department. I’m sorry for the inconvenience."
Ling Chuxia quickly shook her head, "It’s not inconvenient at all. I’m not qualified enough to be your secretary. Why make it difficult? Being a junior assistant is good. I don’t know anything yet, so this is a chance to learn properly. Otherwise, if I were under you, you’d always be covering for me, wouldn’t I just be idling around? I don’t want that~"
Bai Yixuan, whose mood had been somewhat suppressed, couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
"Good, you laughed. Let’s eat, this meal is to celebrate me finding a job smoothly," Ling Chuxia said while taking chopsticks and offering Bai Yixuan a dish.
Bai Yixuan looked at Ling Chuxia’s smiling face, and his eyes gradually filled with warmth, "Alright, you should eat more too."
Bai Yixuan also reached out, picking a few dishes for Ling Chuxia’s bowl, and Ling Chuxia graciously ate them all.
After the meal, Bai Yixuan wanted to wash the dishes but was pushed out of the kitchen by Ling Chuxia, who quickly donned plastic gloves and then smiled at him, "Brother Xuan, you bought the groceries; I’ll wash the dishes. That’s only fair."
"Can you handle it?" Bai Yixuan couldn’t help but fold his arms and lean against the doorframe, looking at her skeptically.
It wasn’t that he doubted her, but Ling Chuxia had mentioned she was raised by a wealthy family. Moreover... her hands were clean and fair, not resembling those of someone who did housework.
Seeing Bai Yixuan’s doubtful look, Ling Chuxia suddenly felt a bit displeased and pouted, blurting out, "Of course I can! I was just about to say..."
Before she could finish, Ling Chuxia’s words abruptly stopped, the rest of the sentence stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Bai Yixuan, having not heard her clearly, was puzzled why she stopped speaking and asked, "For what?"
Ling Chuxia’s eyelids slightly drooped, a glint of darkness swiftly crossing her eyes. She pursed her lips, her voice dropping, "Never mind, it’s nothing."
Seeing Ling Chuxia’s mood suddenly drop, Bai Yixuan’s brows deeply furrowed. What exactly was she hiding in her heart?
