A small candy

Chapter 3 I Wish He Was My Boyfriend
Jian Ling thought she had arrived early enough, but when she arrived at the floor where the interview was held, there was already a long line in the corridor. Young men and women were sitting on plastic chairs outside the office waiting, holding the same file bags as her.

She took a deep breath, walked over and sat in the chair next to the last girl, put the file bag on her knees, and pinched her fingers a little nervously.

The girl next to her was beautiful, with light makeup on and her hair slightly curled inwards. She wore a beige blazer with a light-colored suspenders underneath, and cropped trousers that hugged her shapely, slender legs. On her feet were a pair of nude seven-centimeter high heels. She wore no unnecessary adornment, looking fresh and formal overall.

Jian Ling felt that if she were the interviewer, she would also keep this girl based on her appearance.

Who doesn’t like beautiful sisters?
Although she is a girl, she is willing to take a few more glances at pretty girls when she meets them.

As Jian Ling looked, her eyes inadvertently fell on the file bag in the girl's arms. Through a layer of transparent sealing film, she saw the column for the girl's alma mater - Peking University.

Jian Ling was secretly astonished, and she wanted to clasp her hands together and sigh with admiration. No wonder this girl was full of the aura of a top student.

The girl noticed Jian Ling's frequent glances at her, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and said with a smile, "Hello."

Jian Ling, the social butterfly, immediately smiled friendly. "Hello, my name is Jian Ling. Nice to meet you."

The girl stared at the dimples on her cheeks, and the smile on her lips deepened a little: "My name is Dai Wangchu."

Jian Ling spoke frankly: "Then what is your relationship with Dai Wangshu?"

Hearing this question for the first time, Dai Wangchu tilted his head, thought seriously for three seconds, and answered: "The only connection between us is probably... we are both from Zhejiang?"

"Haha, you're so funny." Jian Ling realized her laughter was a little loud and quickly covered her lips.

This makes the eyes look particularly lively.

The two girls became familiar with each other in a few words and added each other as WeChat friends. Jian Ling also got the latest information from Dai Wangchu. There were a total of thirty people who came for the interview this morning, and eleven of them applied for the planning department. It just so happened that both of them wanted to join the planning department.

Jian Ling felt the pressure doubled. She originally thought that since she had received special training from senior HR Ms. Zhao, there was a high chance of being accepted. However, she didn't expect that there were so many hidden talents in this small corridor.

Her confidence deflated silently like a balloon punctured by a needle.

Dai Wangchu said, "Before you came, I heard from their conversations that one of them graduated from a prestigious foreign university! Don't you think that with such talent, the company should just offer a million-dollar annual salary to keep him?"

Jian Ling slumped her shoulders and muttered softly, "You're pretty good too, okay?"

The interview started soon. The thirty people drew lots to decide the order, and Jian Ling was very "lucky" to draw the first place. When she got the lot, her eyes widened. Was he trying to trick her like this?

Dai Wangchu took a look, sympathy in his eyes, and he clenched his fist to cheer her up: "Go, pioneer warrior, I will pray for you!"

Jian Ling smiled back, then walked gloriously into the office under the gaze of everyone in the corridor.

The room was spacious and clean. The glass wall opposite the door had half of its blinds drawn, blocking out half of the morning sunlight, leaving only a few spots of light and shadow cast on the floor. Four interviewers sat in a row behind the table, all with poker faces, looking even scarier than the dean of studies.

Jian Ling swallowed, feeling that she was not here for an interview, but to be judged.

She claimed to be fearless, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel scared. She secretly encouraged herself, quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, put on a standard smile, and began to introduce herself.

Next came the interviewer's question session. At this time, Jian Ling remembered how kind she was to Ms. Zhao, because she had been coached in advance on the questions the interviewer would ask.

What do you call this? You got it right!
The last question was asked by one of the female interviewers: "Why did you choose to come to our company?"

Ms. Zhao also provided guidance on this question. Her original words were that once the interviewer asks this question, you should not think about anything else, just close your eyes and praise the company. List all the advantages you can think of. Don't worry at all that your answer will make the other party feel hypocritical and perfunctory. On the contrary, the fact that you can list the advantages of this company shows that you have done your homework in advance and are very familiar with their company.

Jian Ling came prepared and collected information about the Cheng Group in advance. She kept blowing all kinds of flattery with her little mouth. Those who didn't know would think that the Cheng Group was ranked number one in the world.

Of course, there is another advantage she didn’t mention - your boss is handsome.

After Jian Ling finished speaking, she bowed. When she stood up, she saw that the poker-faced female interviewer curled the corners of her lips, as if she was smiling.

Does this mean satisfaction?

Before she could think about it, the interviewer pointed to the door and said, "You can go out now. Go back and wait for a call."

Jian Ling smiled and left the office obediently.

As the first person to go, Jian Ling was surrounded by people as soon as she left. Everyone whispered to her about the interview. She didn't hide anything and honestly described the process, including the few questions she was asked. Suddenly, there was a gasp from the crowd, and everyone looked behind Jian Ling.

Jian Ling didn't understand what was going on. She turned around with a puzzled look on her face and saw Cheng Zhixu coming out of the elevator. He was accompanied by a man in a suit and tie, who should be his assistant.

This was too sudden!

Although she really wanted to see him, she was not mentally prepared to meet him again!
Jian Ling suddenly had an idea. She raised the file bag to cover her face, pretending not to see him, and silently chanted a spell in her heart: He can't see me, he can't see me...

Perhaps the spell worked, Cheng Zhixu walked past her expressionlessly and walked into the interview office not far away.

Jian Ling felt like she had just run a marathon. She was exhausted and gasping for breath.

After the alarm was lifted, she couldn't help her restless thoughts. She used the file bag as a shield, slowly pulled it down, and exposed her eyes from above, staring at the man's back.

Wow, I can’t take it anymore. Even the back view looks so beautiful!

Jian Ling covered her chest with her hands, her heart was beating loudly, struggling to bear the burden. How could there be such a charming man? She was so moved.

"Hey!" Dai Wangchu touched her arm. "What are you daydreaming about? I called you twice and you didn't respond. Are you scared silly?"

What do you know? At this moment, I was only obsessed with Cheng Zhixu's beauty, and nothing else could occupy my mind.

However, Jian Ling only dared to think so in her heart, but said: "Nothing, I was thinking about whether I answered the questions asked by the interviewer just now well enough." Dai Wangchu: "I thought you were looking at Boss Cheng. You should know, right? The person who just went in is the boss who took office two years ago. I saw his photo on the group's official website. I didn't expect that he is more handsome in person than in the photo." She thought that the pictures on the Internet were carefully edited by photo retouchers and should not be taken seriously, but she didn't expect it to be different this time.

A little person in Jian Ling's heart nodded frantically, yes, yes, Cheng Zhixu is very handsome.

Just now she had warned herself to calm down, but in the blink of an eye she fell for him again, unable to resist becoming infatuated: "I wish he were my boyfriend." She giggled and began to daydream, "I'm telling you, if Cheng Zhixu became my boyfriend one day, I would want to slap myself if we had a fight..."

Before she could finish her words, Dai Wangchu covered her mouth with his hand and winked at her frequently as a hint.

Jian Ling received her hint and caught a glimpse of Cheng Zhixu coming out of the office from the corner of her eye. His eyes swept in her direction and without much pause, he walked straight into the elevator.

Jian Ling: “…”

Dai Wangchu didn't let go of Cheng Zhixu until he disappeared from sight. He said in shock, "I can't believe you, Jian Ling! You're so shameless!"

Jian Ling didn't hear what she said clearly. She only wanted to know one thing now: "Did you say he heard what I said?"

"Probably... not, right?" Dai Wangchu felt that if Cheng Zhixu heard such a straightforward "declaration of love", his expression would not change at all.

Jian Ling wasn't sure if Cheng Zhixu had heard her confession. She returned home exhausted and immediately climbed into the doghouse, hugging the dog's neck and sighing, "Dora, Mom did something stupid again today." She muttered to herself, "Why do I always act stupid in front of him? Sigh..."

Dora stuck out his tongue and made a wheezing sound. Jian Ling patted his head and said, "Can't you comfort your mother?"

Dora raised his neck and barked twice. Jian Ling was speechless and continued to play with the dog, ruffling its fur. "Is this a comforting tone? Why do I feel like you're quite excited?"

She was chatting with the dog in a disjointed manner. When she got excited, she suddenly leaned over and whispered in the dog's ear: "Dora, can mom find you a dad? A super handsome one?"

Dora woofed.

Jian Ling grabbed its paw and clapped her hands together: "Then it's settled! Wait for mom's good news!"

-

Jian Ling received a phone call from Cheng Group the next afternoon.

The other party told her that she was accepted and should go to the group headquarters next Monday to complete the entry procedures and become an intern in the planning department. The internship period is three months, and there will be an assessment at the end. She will be hired as a regular employee only if she passes the assessment. Detailed information will be sent to her email later.

Jian Ling only knew that she was one step closer to Cheng Zhixu. She fingered the lace of the pillow and laughed so hard that she almost couldn't control herself. She didn't really listen to what the other person said next.

After the other party hung up the phone, she seemed to have released herself from the seal, threw away the phone, jumped onto the sofa, and screamed at the empty living room, scaring Dora.

There was a kitten tickling in her heart, and Jian Ling couldn't sit still for a moment. She jumped up and down for a while, then sat cross-legged on the sofa. She couldn't help but jump with joy, and swayed her body from side to side, like a human tumbler.

The phone on the sofa rang cheerfully. Jian Ling picked it up and answered, "Hello, uncle!"

"So happy?" Ye Guizhou thought for a moment and guessed the reason. "Did you pass the interview?"

"Hmph, don't you see who I am? How could I possibly fail in what I'm about to do?" Jian Ling was so proud that her tail was about to rise to the sky. "You owe me a celebration banquet. I'll make a note of it. You can treat me later when you have time."

Ye Guizhou: “…”

He shouldn't have made this call. He was blackmailed for a meal for no reason.

Jian Ling pursed her lips and warned him, "Also, I know you and Cheng Zhixu are good friends. Don't let him treat me with special care or anything like that. If I find out, I'll..." She hadn't figured out how to threaten Ye Guizhou, so she hesitated, "Anyway...you're not allowed to do that."

She didn't want Cheng Zhixu to think that she was a little brat who needed to be taken care of by the elders.

Ye Guizhou was somewhat relieved: "Okay, I understand."

Her Royal Highness was very pleased with his performance and announced that he could leave. Then she took a taxi and went out to buy her own equipment - a lot of beautiful formal wear.

-

On Monday, Jian Ling wore a newly bought white dress with a small suit on the outside, carried a limited edition Hermès bag, and took a taxi to Cheng Group.

Unfortunately, the taxi got off to a bad start as it was the morning rush hour and the road was jammed. The cars in front of us were lined up in a long queue and the taxi was moving at a snail's pace.

Jian Ling glanced at the watch on her hand from time to time, feeling extremely anxious. Was she going to be late on her first day at work?

No……

She had originally planned to take the subway, but after checking the navigation, she realized she would have to transfer midway. Thinking of the crowds getting in and out of the subway, she decisively gave up. Unexpectedly, taking a taxi wasn't going to be smooth either.

After being stuck in traffic for nearly half an hour, Jian Ling prayed tirelessly for the car to finally move forward. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, constantly urging the driver, "Uncle, please drive faster! I'm in a hurry. It's my first day at work, and I'll be fired if I'm late!"

Despite rushing, Jian Ling still arrived at the company a little late. Seeing the elevator three meters away about to close, she stretched out her hand and shouted, "Wait a minute!"

She took a deep breath, sprinted in her high heels, and finally stepped into the elevator. Fortunately, the heels of the high heels she wore today were not very high, otherwise she would have sprained her ankle.

Before Jian Ling could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Cheng Zhixu looking at her calmly with his eyes lowered. The assistant beside him looked surprised, as if she had done something truly treasonous.

Jian Ling looked around and realized something was wrong. Is this... the president's exclusive elevator?

　Lingling: Who am I and where am I???
