Ye Yanxi felt a bit bitter inside. She forced a smile and said, "Blame me for being too soft - hearted. I just couldn't bear it." With this single sentence, she left He Chuyan speechless.
Du Guo quickly poured a glass of wine and raised her eyebrows. "How about getting drunk again tonight?"
At the sight of the wine, Ye Yanxi immediately shook her head and declined. She had vomited so hard last night that she felt as if her internal organs were about to come out, and she had felt dizzy all day. It was simply asking for trouble.
"You lost your phone and your job. What are you going to do next?" He Chuyan looked at her with concern.
"If I still can't get through on my phone tomorrow, I'll have to buy a new one. I still have a bit of savings. I'll continue my tutoring job, and I also need to save money to compensate for the car window."
Ye Yanxi frowned and thought for a while. "I still don't have enough for next semester's tuition... I'll go and look for other translation companies!"
"If you're looking for a new job, you might as well come to our company," Du Guo suggested immediately after hearing this.
"I work at the Xiao Group. I heard that our president just came back from Italy. A lot of business has been relocated, and the current employees in the company aren't very familiar with Italian. They're planning to recruit new people. Isn't this your forte?"
After saying that, Du Guo held up her finger to show a figure. The monthly salary was indeed quite good. For Ye Yanxi, it was quite high. If she worked for just one or two months, she wouldn't have to worry about her tuition at all.
The monthly salary was really attractive. Ye Yanxi was a bit tempted. Moreover, her former supervisor had also recommended the Xiao Group to her. "Okay, I'll give it a try."
After the interview was settled, Ye Yanxi felt more confident. She stabbed the bamboo skewer into the grilled fish forcefully. "When I see the guy who stole my phone and made me lose my job, I'll definitely smash his head, just like this fish!"
When she returned to her rental apartment at night, Ye Yanxi immediately saw the photo on the cabinet.
It was taken during an outing. She and Chu Beize were leaning on each other on the grass, with bright smiles on their faces.
It was so ironic. In a fit of anger, Ye Yanxi picked up the photo and threw it into the trash can. Out of sight, out of mind.
Since her phone was lost, Ye Yanxi found an alarm clock, set it, and then took out her Italian books to practice pronunciation until late at night.
The next morning, after getting up, she tidied up her resume and rushed to the Xiao Group in a hurry. The magnificent headquarters building looked extremely imposing at first sight.
Du Guo had already talked to the Human Resources Department. As soon as Ye Yanxi arrived, she was taken to the interview.
With an Italian proficiency level of C1, fluent spoken language, and strong reaction ability, her translation skills were far better than those of the other interviewees.
With the unanimous approval of the Human Resources supervisor and the high - level managers, Ye Yanxi was successfully hired.
However, Ye Yanxi had only applied for a part - time job, just for two months during the summer vacation. The department manager felt a bit regretful.
The working rhythm in a big company was very fast. After the interview, Ye Yanxi didn't leave. She was directly sent to the Business Department to start work that day.
When she got into the elevator, Ye Yanxi watched the numbers on the elevator keep rising. Her tense nerves from the morning finally relaxed.
As soon as the elevator door opened, someone was already standing there, greeting her warmly. "You're Xiao Ye, right? I'm the supervisor of the Business Department. My surname is Yang. We'll be colleagues from now on."
"Hello, Sister Yang!" Ye Yanxi was a bit reserved at first, but then she smiled generously and reached out her hand to shake Sister Yang's. "I'll trouble you from now on!"
The woman didn't look very old. She had a medium build, short hair, and was very neat and tidy. She was dressed in a black work uniform, the standard attire of a professional woman.
Sister Yang led Ye Yanxi to a cubicle in the office area. There was a computer and a pile of documents on the desk. "This will be your workspace from now on. All the documents to be translated are here." Then she pointed at the stack of documents.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Yanxi put down her bag, turned on the computer, and sat down. "Sister Yang, I'll process all the documents as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Sister Yang smiled and gave her an encouraging look. "Work hard."
On the top - floor president's office.
In front of Xiao Yu's desk, the director placed Ye Yanxi's file in front of him. On the file, Ye Yanxi's photo was very clear, with a smile on her face and a delicate and clean appearance.
"President, this is the newly recruited translator today, Ye Yanxi."
...
Ye Yanxi was proficient in many foreign languages, and she was most interested in Italian. Her teacher had praised her for her great talent many times.
During her one - year part - time job at Yuefei Company, she had become very familiar with the typesetting and organization of documents. She had translated a quarter of the documents in the morning.
At noon, Sister Yang came to the office specifically to check on her. She found that Ye Yanxi had already organized and printed out most of the processed documents.
Sister Yang nodded constantly and was very satisfied. No wonder the boss had told them to keep this girl.
There was another girl in the office with her, named He Qiuyang.
In comparison, her efficiency was far lower than Ye Yanxi's. Sister Yang immediately frowned. "Xiao He, you've been with the company for a while, but you still can't do as well as Xiao Ye on her first day!"
He Qiuyang, who was a head taller than Sister Yang when she stood up, hung her head and murmured, "I'm sorry, Sister Yang. I'll pay attention next time."
"This document is very important. The president will need it for the meeting this afternoon. You don't need to interfere. Let Xiao Ye handle it. I don't want any more mistakes."
He Qiuyang opened her eyes wide and stared at Sister Yang. It took her a long time to say, "Okay."
"Xiao Ye, can you finish this document by noon? We'll need it urgently this afternoon. I'll have someone bring your lunch to you, okay?" Sister Yang's face returned to a gentle smile, and her voice became much softer.
"Okay." Without much hesitation, Ye Yanxi agreed.
After all, as a new employee, she wanted to make a good impression on her leader.
During lunchtime, all the colleagues went to the cafeteria, but Ye Yanxi was still concentrating on her work.
Feeling a bit thirsty, when she picked up her water cup, she caught a glimpse of someone standing beside the table out of the corner of her eye. It was the other translator, He Qiuyang.
Ye Yanxi was startled and almost choked. "Cough, cough. Hello."
He Qiuyang looked at Ye Yanxi for a few seconds without saying a word. Then she left with a cold expression.
When it was almost time to start work in the afternoon, Ye Yanxi took the translated documents to Sister Yang's office. Sister Yang was on the phone. "Xiao Ye, could you please take this document to the president's office? I still have some things to do."
"But... okay." Just thinking about meeting the big boss made Ye Yanxi feel timid.
Holding a stack of documents, she got into the elevator and went straight to the top floor. A secretary led her to the door of the president's office.
She gently knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside. "Come in!"
Ye Yanxi pushed the door open and walked in. She lowered her head and placed the documents on the table, planning to go back to translate the remaining documents. "President, this is the document you asked for..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Yanxi took a glance and was immediately stunned.
After pushing the door open and before she could finish speaking, Ye Yanxi opened her eyes wide at the scene in front of her.
On the large leather sofa, a man was bare - chested. His face couldn't be seen clearly. A red - dressed woman in revealing clothes was straddling his lap, in a very seductive pose.
