Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 154, "Boss Direct Recruitment," is coming soon.
"Xinxin, do you know who this person is?"

Jiang Zhixin was drinking chicken soup when she silently put down her bowl and glanced at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Really? There are such interesting college students?"

"Yeah, hahaha."

Bai Wei couldn't stop laughing. "It's not just funny, it's downright hilarious!"

"There's no sun today, and this idiot is still deliberately wearing sunglasses to show off. What's even more ridiculous is that he even rolled down his car window in a crowded place. How stupid! Hahahaha."

Bai Wei was still laughing to herself when she came to her senses and noticed that the other two people at the table were acting strangely.

Chen Yan remained silent, his face appearing somewhat stiff;
Jiang Zhixin pursed her lips tightly, her shoulders twitching as if she was trying her best to suppress a laugh.

"Hahaha, Xinxin, you find it funny too, right? Laugh if you want to, there's no one else here..."

"Pfft~ Hahahahaha"

Upon hearing Bai Wei's words, Jiang Zhixin couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, this is right!"

After Bai Wei finished speaking, she turned to Chen Yan and kindly reminded him, "Chef Chen, it's okay. Just laugh if you want to. Be careful not to hold it in and hurt yourself."

"hehe."

I'm laughing at you!
……

And so, the meal ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After dinner, Jiang Zhixin and Bai Wei went to get skincare treatments.

So, the burden of washing dishes fell on Chen Yan's shoulders.

Alas, the shoulders of young people always bear burdens that are too heavy for their age.

In the kitchen, Chen Yan, wearing gloves, was washing and cursing at the same time.

"Damn it, they made me cook and wash dishes. Even the donkeys in the production team aren't as tired as me!"

"Jiang Zhixin, this matter won't be over until you get a good beating."

……

After cleaning up the dishes, Chen Yan lay on the sofa alone, scrolling through his phone and looking at the various work progress reports in the company group chat.

A new message arrived with a 'ding-dong' sound.

Chen Yan exited the company group chat and found that it was a WeChat message from Editor-in-Chief Mi.

Mi Tong: [Mr. Chen, we have prepared your interview report and would like to release it on the 31st of this month. Is that alright with you?]

Chen Yingjun: [No problem, Editor-in-Chief Mi's idea coincides with mine.]

Mi Tong: [Okay]

Then, Chen Yan exited the chat window with Mi Tong and switched back to the company's main group chat.

CEO Chen: [@Fu Yangkai, Mr. Fu, this is extremely urgent! Tencent News will release my interview on the 31st of this month. Many people will then know about the 'Boss Zhipin' app, which will be a huge free advertisement and will bring 'Boss Zhipin' its first batch of registered users.]

CEO Chen: [Therefore, I require all members of your technology department to launch 'Boss Direct Hire' by the end of the month. Can you do that?]

Fu Yangkai replied almost instantly: [President Chen, today is already the 12th, and with the iOS version's approval process taking another week, we have to produce a complete version of 'Boss Zhipin' by the 24th. That means we only have 12 days left.]

CEO Chen: [That's right, is it possible?]

About a minute later, Fu Yangkai replied: "If we work overtime, there should be hope of finishing it."

CEO Chen: [I don't want "should," I want "must"!]

CEO Chen: [For the next 12 days, all members of the technical department must stay at the hotel across from the company. All room and living expenses will be reimbursed by the company, and overtime pay will be doubled. You absolutely must finish this by the 24th!]

CEO Chen: [@Fu Yangkai, @Kong Zhenbang, @Ruan Shaohua, @Liu Hanfei, @Hu Chao]

Fu Yangkai: [Received, mission accomplished]

Kong Zhenbang: [Received, let's get to work!]

Ruan Shaohua: [Got it, let's get to it!]

Liu Hanfei: [Got it, let's get to work!]

Hu Chao: [Got it, let's get to work!]

……

After assigning the task, Chen Yan felt uncomfortable lying on the sofa, so he simply went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then climbed onto Jiang Zhixin's bed wearing only his underwear.

"Sigh, it's almost 9 o'clock, why isn't Teacher Jiang home yet?"

"Seriously, is it appropriate for a young man like me to be left alone in an empty house?"

Chen Yan nestled in the soft quilt, and as he turned over, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. The scent was subtle and not strong, yet indescribably alluring, seeping into his nostrils and tickling his heart.

"Hiss~" What's going on?
Chatting with Ruan Yusang on Jiang Zhixin's bed?
It feels a bit immoral.

But for some reason, it's kind of exciting, hehe.

Chen Yingjun: [Why didn't you chat with me today?]

Chen Yingjun: [Has the novelty worn off?]

Soon, the other end replied: 【Hahaha, no way, honey, I had classes all day and I'm still catching up on my homework】

Ruan Yusang has indeed been very busy lately. Students majoring in broadcasting usually finish all their courses by their junior year, and by their senior year, most of them are doing internships.

When graduation is near, I'll go back to school for a thesis defense, and then just wait to receive my diploma.

Chen Yingjun: [Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'm working overtime at the company right now.]

Neighbor Ruan: [Then go to sleep early after you're done with your work.]

Neighbor Ruan: [Oh no, I typed the wrong number]

Neighbor Ruan: [Go to bed early!]

"It was intentional, she definitely did it on purpose," Chen Yan thought to himself.

Perhaps because Jiang Zhixin's bed was too comfortable, Chen Yan lay on the bed scrolling through his phone and unknowingly fell asleep.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a key turning the lock broke the silence inside the house.

Jiang Zhixin walked into her home and was about to change her shoes when she noticed a sliver of light coming through the crack in her bedroom door.

"Huh, hasn't he gone back yet?"

A strange, inexplicable joy welled up inside her, like honey hidden in a honey pot, sweet and delightful.

Damn it, calm down! Why are you getting excited for no reason? You're so pathetic!
Jiang Zhixin cursed herself for being useless. After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she walked over and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Ok?"

"Fell asleep?"

Chen Yan was lying sprawled on the bed, one leg sticking out of the blanket, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream.

Jiang Zhixin was both annoyed and amused. She tiptoed over and tucked his exposed legs under the covers.

After stuffing her legs in, she didn't get up immediately. Instead, she slowly squatted down, her knees resting on the soft carpet, her upper body leaning slightly forward, her eyes fixed on Chen Yan's sleeping face.

The dim light from the bedside lamp cast a warm glow, gilding Chen Yan's features with a faint golden edge. His usually roguish eyes appeared exceptionally soft in his sleep, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his eyelids, trembling gently with his breath.

To be fair, this kid is actually quite handsome.

As Jiang Zhixin watched, her heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a kitten's paw, an itch spreading from the bottom of her heart to her whole body.

So she slowly moved closer to Chen Yan's face, and gently pressed her lips to his cheek, a light, fleeting kiss filled with tenderness and affection.

"Honey, sweet dreams~"

Jiang Zhixin had never used the affectionate and cheesy term "husband" before (unless she was forced to by someone).

After all, her social identity was still Chen Yan's teacher, and she was a full six years older than him, so the word 'husband' was really hard to say.

Just now, squatting by the bed, looking at Chen Yan's unguarded sleeping face, the warm yellow light cast a soft outline around him.

In that instant, the emotions in her heart exploded like fireworks, and uncontrollably, the name slipped out of her mouth.

Even Jiang Zhixin herself was somewhat surprised.

"We're not even married yet, how could I say something so shameful?"

"Hmph, it's all that bastard's fault!"

Jiang Zhixin couldn't understand it, so she simply shifted all the blame onto Chen Yan.

……

The next morning, Chen Yan woke up slowly and glanced at the bed next to him. The blanket had already been pulled back.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the sheets; they were still warm, indicating that Teacher Jiang had also just gotten up.

Chen Yan yawned, casually grabbed the thermal underwear draped over the edge of the bed, put it on, and walked out with just that thermal underwear and a pair of briefs.

Jiang Zhixin was selecting ingredients in the refrigerator. She was wearing a simple white long-sleeved shirt and loose trousers of the same color. Her hair was unkempt, simply tied back with a hair tie.

Upon seeing Chen Yan emerge, her pretty face flushed red, and she retorted angrily, "You pervert!"

Chen Yan: ?
Did you take the wrong medicine so early in the morning? I didn't do anything to you.
"Please deflate it, otherwise it will affect my appetite," Jiang Zhixin said bluntly.

Chen Yan followed her gaze downwards.
