C9 Looking for a Job
There were sleepers, revelers, people sitting side by side on their beds, the silence and the night hiding everything.
"Are you nervous?"
"I'm so nervous that I can't even eat or sleep." Even at this time, Yu Lian's mouth was still full of nonsense.
The man had a smile on his face as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
The kiss ended.
Yu Lian stared at Pei Kiu.
Pei Kiu also looked at Yu Lian.
"There's no smoke, is there?"
"Yes, there's no more."
Their night began with a kiss.
Their outer clothes were scattered all over the place.
"It really doesn't look like that night."
"You have to know that there are miraculous things like chest pads in the world."
Pei Kiu laughed softly, like a quiet and elegant serenade. For a moment, Yu Lian wanted to record it on a tape recorder.
As they got closer.
Gradually blending.
It was as if everything had happened naturally.
Of course, no matter how smooth the journey was, there would occasionally be some small holes.
The night was still long.
"Wait, wait, wait... Let me slow down."
"Yu Lian, your physical strength is really not enough."
... "Huh? What's the point of me, Yu Lian, being a paparazzi for so long?"
A series of waves rose from the deep sea, dancing to the siren's song in the night.
The song stopped.
"Pei Kiu, you don't wear a condom?"
"Hmm?"
"Although I can take medicine, I still have to protest."
"Who gave you the right?"
Tsk.
Yu Lian whispered in his ear.
"Who else could it be? You're in pain."
She never had a bottom line when it came to running trains. If Pei Kiu really wanted to pursue the matter, he would just slap his butt and run away - hey, what's the big deal about sex?
The man looked out of the window and his voice exploded in her ears, extremely charming, "Since you still have time, I'll dote on you again."
F * ck.
All in all, Yu Lian felt the difference in their physical strength tonight. Even if she wanted to smoke a cigarette, she wouldn't be able to lift her hand. She didn't stay awake for long before she fell asleep in the arms of the young man in front of her.
The next day, she woke up late. She opened her eyes and touched the side. Fortunately, there was no one there. She didn't feel anything in the incident, but after the incident, she strongly felt how to write the word shy.
However, after the first time, Yu Lian had more or less understood that this kind of thing was just a way for two people to express their desires instinctively. It had been like this since ancient times. Collision, suppression, and fusion. Perhaps some feelings could be added to it, but more of it was instinct leading everything.
If he had to face his physical desire, that man would be the perfect bedmate. Yu Lian took a quick shower and washed up. When she returned to her bedroom to check her phone, she found that there was a new text message on her phone. It was from an unknown number.
The content of the message was very simple.
At 2 PM in the afternoon, at Glory World Media.
A big media company, you could tell by its name, and it lived up to expectations. It had a pivotal position in the industry, and if Dance Remix was a bungalow, then Prosperity was a skyscraper.
She didn't even need to think to know who arranged this.
It was fast enough.
...
At two o'clock she arrived punctually at the entrance to the Peacetime Building in her new dress. She said her name at the counter and was surprised to find that the people at the counter were looking at her with more respect.
"Please come to General Manager Wang's office. It's the first room on the right side of the 60th floor."
General Manager?
Hmm?
She was just here to look for a job. Why was she making such a big fuss?
Although she kept nagging in her heart, she thanked the man and hurriedly got on the elevator. She went straight to the 60th floor and knocked on the door next to her.
"Come in!"
Listening to the voice, she felt that the person inside seemed to be shocked. Even the voice was not stable.
She pushed the door and entered.
A middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old hurriedly stood up from behind his desk. However, the moment he saw her, his eyes revealed a puzzled look.
"May I ask if you are Miss Yu Lian?"
"Yes."
Yu Lian replied calmly.
She wasn't wearing a wig today. She was only wearing light makeup, and although she didn't look like a tomboy anymore, by female standards, Yu Lian definitely wouldn't get a high score.
Manager Wang wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yu Lian felt that the next time she encountered something related to Pei Kiu, she should put on a wig as soon as possible.
"Manager Wang."
"Ah... Yes!"
"I came here today to seek a position in your company."
She admitted that there was nothing wrong with what she said, but Prime Minister Wang's expression changed in an instant. Prime Minister Wang pulled out a chair for her and gestured for her to sit down. Then he turned around and sat behind his desk.
"May I ask what position Miss Yu thinks is suitable for you?"
"To tell you the truth, I used to be a paparazzi and desk editor in a news media outlet. I have experience in this area."
Manager Wang frowned slightly.
"So, I want to work as a reporter here. This is my resume."
Manager Wang took her resume and put it on the table without flipping through it.
"If you think I'm not qualified enough, I can start as an intern journalist. But I'm confident that I can do my job as a journalist."
The short-haired woman in front of him was very aggressive. Confidence and boldness were not a bad thing for young people. However, she was sincere to say that she was a paparazzi.
Manager Wang didn't answer, but picked up her resume and flipped through it.
"A professional in journalism?"
"Yes."
Yu Lian sat upright in her seat.
For the rest of the day, Manager Wang asked her questions like an interviewer, and because he hadn't been prepared for them, he had to think twice before he asked a new question. But he had been in this position for a long time, and each question gave him a new understanding of the woman in front of him.
If he was the judge.
Judging from her performance, Yu Lian had the eloquence of a reporter. She had a clear logic and a sharp mind. She also had a good understanding of the industry.
As for her shortcomings, this person's shortcomings were also clearly displayed. It was just that under certain circumstances, her shortcomings might have the tendency to lean towards the good.
Just as Manager Wang was considering whether or not to make things difficult for her, a phone call came in. He made an apologetic gesture to Yu Lian, got up from his seat, and walked out of the office.
Have you settled the matter that Director Pei asked you to do?!
Manager Wang remembered this big matter that was almost forgotten.
Don't tell me that person is asking for an exorbitant price. I, Sheng Shi, do want to give Director Pei face, but...
"No, that person only wants a reporter's job."
A reporter? Just give it to her. It doesn't matter if she does it well or not.
After a moment of silence, Manager Wang said, "Actually, even if Director Pei didn't say anything, I would still give her a chance. That girl looks quite intelligent."
A few mocking laughs came from the other side.
Everyone was proclaiming that she was Director Pei's new lover. If she didn't have a brain, how could she stand out from so many beauties?
On this point, Manager Wang felt that the other party might have a deep misunderstanding of the word 'beauty'.
"That girl doesn't look stunning. It wouldn't be right to say that she's a lover."
Manager Wang said sincerely.
"I think that girl might be Director Pei's distant relative."
Was that girl really not pretty?
"Really."
The other side suddenly fell silent and finally came to a conclusion: Being Director Pei's relative was a good birth.
Manager Wang was also silent.
Sometimes, it was a tragedy to lose to someone else in a good reincarnation.
When Manager Wang entered the office again, Yu Lian was still sitting upright in her seat. Her lack of arrogance and impatience made Manager Wang think even more highly of the girl.
As he sat behind his desk, his tone could not help but become more formal.
"Miss Yu."
"Hmm?"
"I hope we have a happy cooperation in Glory World."
Yu Lian's eyes suddenly lit up. She took a few steps forward, and Manager Wang slowly stood up. The two of them shook hands across the desk before Manager Wang spoke again with a smile on his face.
"The personnel department of Glory World will be in touch with Miss Yu in the near future to discuss the contents of the contract and work. Please keep in touch for the next few days."
"Thank you. I will remember it."
Yu Lian had a bright smile on her face ever since she left Glory World. Halfway through, she went to the bakery to buy two boxes of cakes and then took the subway home. Of course, when she got home, she saw that Pei Kiu was still sitting in the rattan chair reading the newspaper.
"Hey ~ Eat the cake, baby ~"
She smiled and waved the exquisite cake bag in her hand at him.
Pei Kiu raised his hand and tapped his index finger on the table two or three times, but his gaze didn't leave the newspaper.
Tsk.
Yu Lian could only pretend to be a eunuch and respectfully unwrapped the cake. She respectfully placed the cake on the table and asked in a hoarse voice, "Emperor Pei, can we eat now?"
Pei Kiu's face finally left the newspaper. Then he reached out and put his arm around her waist. Before Yu Lian could react, he pulled her into his arms and sat on his lap. She held the cake bag tightly in her hand, afraid that she would accidentally drop it.
Pei Kiu put his arms around her and spread the newspaper again.
"An all-English newspaper?" She carefully took out her cake from the bag and asked in shock as she took a bite with a fork.
"What's the problem?"
"No. Emperor Pei is very knowledgeable. We admire him."
Pei Kiu smiled.
"Give me a bite."
She brought the fork to Pei Kiu's mouth and he took a big bite from the place he had just bitten into.
"After eating my cake, can you translate this article and explain it to me?"
One quiet afternoon, Pei Kiu was reading the economic newspaper in a low voice. Yu Lian pretended to understand what he was saying, but the two little cakes were gobbled up by the two of them.
