Chapter 63 - Working {2}
"Master Li, this is Liu Qiao Xin, the friend I told you about. I also gave the job application file to you some time ago."
Li Xuan seemed to turn his chair while stroking his smooth chin. He looked Qiao Xin up and down. He tried to assess this figure in front of him. A recruit he was about to assign was beside him in uncovering the mission given by Xiao Long. Of course, Li Xuan has his requirements to choose his prospective employees because he likes beauty and cleanliness. His prospective employees must be beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Li Xuan's main condition was that no one could dispute, and this figure in front of him seemed to have attracted Li Xuan as well. How could I not? Qiao Xin's appearance fit into her criteria. Her appearance was very neat. Especially in terms of the items he wears, although at first glance it looks simple, the items used by Qiao Xin are made by well-known designers. Even though the designer had become his best friend's regular designer, Li Xuan was sure that this woman was the right employee for him in front of him.
"Alright," said Li Xuan, which managed to make Qiao Xin and Mei somewhat confused as well. The two of them felt strange at Li Xuan's answer.
"You mean Mr. Li?" asked Mei later. Li Xuan seemed to be snapping his fingers, looking at Qiao Xin with his trademark smile.
"What that means is, I have agreed that from today onwards Miss Liu will work in this company, and become my assistant in doing the work,"
"What?!" Qiao Xin was shocked. Mei immediately pinched Qiao Xin's waist, and this again annoyed Qiao Xin. Was she forbidden to be shocked now? How could she not be surprised if what Liu Xuan said was completely unreasonable? How can she work without submitting a job application? Without doing interviews and so on.
Moreover, Weiling was a subsidiary of the Han Corporation, a very strange thing to recruit employees based solely on instinct like that. "Looks like Mr. Li is misspoken? How did I get accepted to work here right away, this is a big company. Isn't that a little too hasty?" Qiao Xin asked in the end.
Li Xuan immediately shrieked, then looked at Qiao Xin with a flirtatious smile. Blinked his eyes mischievously, then stood up to Qiao Xin.
"I've looked at your data very carefully, you are the best graduate from a top university, your work performance is also very good, now seeing you standing here has also given me a lot of very precise and accurate assessments. So, what else do I have to worry about?" Li Xuan asked. Qiao Xin nodded too. What can he do? As long as he could go back to work and earn money from her sweat, that was far more important than just Li Xuan's excuse for hiring her to be an employee. "Your workplace is over there," Li Xuan pointed at one of the workspaces directly outside his study. There was only a glass divider without any cover.
Qiao Xin looked at the room, and she remembered when she worked at W Corporation, even her best friend used to make a special room for her, because according to her friend, she was not an employee, but the deputy CEO of W Corporation, but who would have thought that things would turn out like this. Let alone the deputy CEO, Qiao Xin was completely kicked out of the company.
"Qiao Xin, my workplace is right next to you, we only have a chest of wood dividers. So we can gossip when we have nothing to do," whispered Mei. Qiao Xin smiled, then she glared at her best friend.
"Very well, Mr. Li. Once again, thank you for accepting me to work for this company. Please guide me,"
"Okay, please sit in your room, there are some documents about the company. I guess by lunchtime you've finished reading it, haven't you? After that, I will give you the first job."
"What is it, Master Li?"
"Re-data all production costs from our company, starting from 2006 until now."
"What?!"
*****
"This is really crazy!" Qiao Xin grumbled. She was already in a room full of piles of files, and it was exhausting. Meanwhile, Mei, who was given the task of helping Qiao Xin, also sat next to Qiao Xin, looking at the pile of files in front of her. "Does Mr. Li want to reorganize the company? Why does he have to tell us to list things like this in great detail, isn't there already apart? Who audits all of these? We just have to look for it on the company computer and everything can be printed, right?"
"I suspect one thing." Mei finally spoke up, and she looked at Qiao Xin with a serious expression. "Qiao believes it or not, our company is in trouble. Reportedly, some individuals have caused chaos in the company. They make poor quality products, and they sell for the same price as good quality products. I don't know who is behind all this, and the company has been secretly investigating. You should also know, if in fact, Mr. Li doesn't work here, he is one of the directors working at the central company because there was this problem Mr. Li suddenly transferred here from a while ago. I'm sure Mr. Li's intention is not to make things difficult for us, but because he wants to ask us for help, perhaps there is an error that we can find by registering all of this manually."
Qiao Xin couldn't help but take a deep breath, for which she frowned. It seems something is missing from her brain.
"Wait, since when did this matter become known to the central company? So will just sending Mr. Li here solve the problem?" Qiao Xin asked again.
"Exactly a week after you told me you couldn't see me for that week, Qiao Xin. And the head office thing, they must be on the move now. Reportedly, apart from sending Mr. Li, the head office had also been working day and night to dismantle all of this. It's just, anything that's done for a long time needs proof if, so catching this rat won't be as easy as catching other cheap criminals. It's also said that Young Mr. Han often stays late at night because of this."
"You know from whom?" Qiao Xin said she immediately wrote down a few things she could write well and correctly.
"Of course I know, I have friends who work at the central company, even since then, it is said that Young Mr. Han always leaves early and comes home late to solve this problem,"
Qiao Xin was silent. Was that the reason Xiao Long was late to teach her to dance at that time? If so, then Qiao Xin would feel very guilty. How not? She was already angry with Xiao Long and thought Xiao Long broke his promise. Even Qiao Xin intended to burn all the gifts that Xiao Long bought as an apology to her. But Qiao Xin didn't know at all that there was another reason behind it all. The Han Corporation is in trouble, and Qiao Xin selfishly demands that Xiao Long understand her. The man who pretended to be her husband, Qiao Xin, was truly sorry about it.
"Qiao, is there something wrong? Why did your face change so strangely when I told you about the Han Corporation? You wouldn't expect that such a big company Han Corporation would have a problem like this. Yes, it can't be helped, it's big companies that are most prone to problems like this,"
"You're right, so help me quickly solve this problem, because I believe, even a week will never be able to finish our work, unless we bring it home," Qiao Xin decided. Hearing the words of going home, Mei looked at Qiao Xin again, her eyes sparkling perfectly.
"Qiao, have you decided on something?" asked Mary. Qiao Xin frowned in confusion.
"What?"
"You mean home. You live with me in the apartment provided by the company, okay?"
Qiao Xin looked silent, and she was completely speechless to answer this question from Mei. Either way, if she said she would live in her old apartment, Mei would be suspicious. Considering that her old apartment is so far from the company she works for now. However, if Qiao Xin said that she lived near the company, it would be completely impossible.
"Um, I live with my cousin. I live not so far from the apartment the company gave me, Mei. Don't you know that the Han Corporation and this company are not too far apart and that my cousin is an employee of the Han Corporation?"
"Huh, really? Isn't that a very good coincidence, Qiao? We can live together, I can move—"
"The thing is, my cousin is a boy, Mei. And he doesn't like it when strangers come to his place," Qiao Xin interrupted. Mei looked sad to hear this, making Qiao Xin feel guilty too. "What if I will visit your place often? Is that enough to break even for you?" Qiao Xin bargained then. Mei nodded enthusiastically, and then she grabbed Qiao Xin's arm.
"Thank you, Qiao. I was very lonely when I was in the apartment. If you visit often, it will be very pleasant. Especially if you often stay at my apartment."
"I try," Qiao Xin replied with a warm smile.
