When he learned this news, Yan Hua had already taken Lu Xue into the building. He could only force a professional smile and sit in his office waiting for Lu Xue to arrive.
Lu Xue never expected that the job Yan Hua had arranged for her in the company would be to work in the same office as Mu Yuze.
She was even more reluctant than Mu Yuze at the moment. Turning to Yan Hua beside her, she said, "Can I decline this job?"
Yan Hua shook his head. "No. I've already filled out your employment registration form. You're already a member of the company!"
Lu Xue maintained a smile. "Can I resign right now?"
Yan Hua was speechless.
During this stand - off, Mu Yuze already felt a bit uncomfortable.
Lu Xue clearly looked very reluctant.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yan Hua dragged Lu Xue outside the office to have a heart - to - heart talk.
"I'm asking you, what's wrong with working with our young master? You should know how complex the competitive environment in our company is. All the other employees have degrees from famous overseas universities, master's or doctor's degrees. You're just a junior intern. If you were at the grassroots level, you'd definitely be bullied badly."
"I'm doing this to protect you! Besides, think about it. Working with the president, you can see that handsome face up close every day. Isn't that great?"
Lu Xue thought for a while.
If she had to be with Mu Yuze at the company and still see him at home in the evening, wouldn't she have no personal space at all?
The more she thought about it, the stronger her determination to resign became.
Seeing that Lu Xue was unmoved, Yan Hua continued.
"Even if you don't consider the young master's handsome face, think about the company's benefits, salary, and career prospects. You'll not only get two paid overseas vacations a year, but also grow through the company's projects..."
Lu Xue interrupted Yan Hua. "Where's the HR department?"
Yan Hua pointed in a daze towards the elevator. "It's at the end of the left - hand corridor downstairs."
Lu Xue nodded and walked straight towards the elevator without looking back.
It took Yan Hua a moment to realize what was going on. He rushed over and followed Lu Xue, exclaiming,
"No way! You're not really going to the HR department to resign, are you?"
Lu Xue pressed the elevator button. She was really going downstairs.
Yan Hua said helplessly, "I'm just trying to help. Why don't you want to accept it? If you can spend less time at home, you'll have fewer conflicts with Mu Ziyue, right?"
Lu Xue stopped and started to think.
Maybe Yan Hua was right. If she reduced her contact with Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun recently, she'd have fewer troubles.
She turned around and asked, "What are the daily tasks of a president's assistant?"
Yan Hua's eyes lit up. "Come on, I'm the president's top - level assistant! Let me teach you the ropes!"
...
...
Actually, Yan Hua had his own motives for arranging Lu Xue for this position.
You know, assistants are divided into different levels. He was the top - level assistant beside the president, while Lu Xue was just a junior intern. The difference in rank was obvious!
Yan Hua felt like he was taking care of a junior, and he was filled with a sense of achievement.
He spent the whole afternoon teaching Lu Xue how to handle basic daily tasks.
To his surprise, Lu Xue picked up everything almost immediately.
He was a bit shocked, but then he thought that since they graduated from the same junior high school, she must have inherited some of the good qualities from their alma mater.
On the first day, Lu Xue was still very reluctant and was dragged by Yan Hua to report to the company.
But from the second day on, Lu Xue started her energetic daily routine of working in the company.
Mu Yuze would never really assign any work to Lu Xue. So when he pushed the door and saw Lu Xue in his office, and she quite actively asked if there was any work for her to do, he just paused for a moment, forced a smile, and then said politely,
"Could you fill my pen with ink?"
Lu Xue nodded. "Sure."
She quickly completed this simple task.
So, for Mu Yuze, Lu Xue had already finished her work for the day.
He said politely to Lu Xue, "You can take a break for the rest of the time."
Lu Xue let out an "ah" and looked up to find that Mu Yuze was serious.
When he said this, his eyes were even full of the look of "you've worked hard".
...
...
During this period, Ding Muyun still frequently went to the Mu mansion, hoping to find more opportunities to be alone with Mu Yuze.
But this period was really strange. She not only didn't see Mu Yuze, but also rarely bumped into Lu Xue.
And Mu Ziyue was busy with other things recently and didn't appear at home very often.
Ding Muyun came several times and just wandered around the empty mansion alone. She felt quite bored.
Moreover, she wasn't a member of the Mu family. She was just a guest. If the hosts weren't at home, how could she have the nerve to come so often?
