Chapter 125 Interview
The next day, at 9:30 a.m.

As Chen Yan stood in the reception room on the seventh floor of the photo studio, looking down at the bustling traffic on the street through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a knocking sound suddenly rang out on the door.

"Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the reception room opened, and the receptionist walked in with a girl.

"Boss, this is the person who came for an interview today," the receptionist said, then quickly poured two glasses of water and placed them on the table.

"Okay, you can go ahead and do your thing." Chen Yan nodded, then glanced at the girl not far away and the boy standing outside the glass window, observing the situation inside.

The girl had shoulder-length short hair. Although her features weren't exactly beautiful, she had a unique vitality. Combined with her tanned skin and athletic figure, she gave off a very infectious vibe.

When Chen Yan first saw her, he couldn't help but think of a female leopard because of her "agility" and "full of energy".

At the same time, Chen Yan also gave his personal rating of the other person's appearance—82.
She barely makes it into the ranks of great beauties. Although she is less attractive than her other female friends, she possesses a captivating charm that others lack.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's video required a strong emotional impact, and Chocolate was simply his perfect leading lady...

As for that guy, he was also good-looking and could be considered handsome, but his aura was a bit lacking. When Chen Yan looked at him, his first reaction was to turn away and not dare to look Chen Yan in the eye.

……

And An-Yi, also known as Chocolate, subconsciously observed this person who was likely to become her boss the moment she entered.

then……

'Holy crap, how can he be so handsome?' Chocolate couldn't help but think.

Before she arrived, she had some idea of ​​what the boss would look like... In her opinion, the most likely image would be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. As long as he wasn't bald, didn't have a beer-shaped face, and didn't have a bulging jaw, that would be pretty good.

But the other person's appearance was far beyond her expectations.

His classic slicked-back hairstyle fully exposes his facial features, leaving nothing hidden. Yet, his features are exceptionally striking: a pair of deep, expressive eyes, a straight nose, and excellent proportions…

If it were just a pretty face, that would be one thing, but the other person also has a perfect figure, tall and upright, like a perfect clothes hanger, showing the weight and weight of the suit to the fullest.

For some reason, the two hadn't even exchanged a single word, but Chocolate sensed an extreme tension emanating from the other, especially since this tension was concealed beneath that composed demeanor. The stark contrast was like a tempting poison, dangerous yet irresistibly alluring.

Chocolate had seen handsome men before, but seeing a man with top-notch looks, physique, and temperament in front of her still left her momentarily stunned.

Seeing the chocolate looking somewhat dazed, Chen Yan had no choice but to break the silence first.

"Hello, my name is Chen Yan." He sat down first, pointed to the seat opposite him, and said, "Sit."

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Chocolate plopped down and introduced herself somewhat flusteredly, "My name is An Yi, my musical note name is Chocolate, and I'm good at street dance..."

After the other person finished introducing themselves, Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the boy outside the glass window, and asked, "Who is that?"

"He's my boyfriend, and he's here with me for my job interview today." Seeing Song Yang hastily lower his head, Chocolate couldn't help but marvel at the difference in their auras.

Of course, she was just expressing her feelings and didn't think much of it... In her opinion, comparing a successful man with a student who hasn't fully graduated from school is really unfair to the latter.

"Okay, that's convenient..." Chen Yan entered interview mode and asked questions one by one.

……

After half an hour.

Chocolate successfully completed her interview and walked out of the conference room.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she couldn't help but give Song Yang a silent cheer, and then the man and woman walked side by side toward the elevator.

Chen Yan remained seated in the reception room, rubbing his temples as he pondered some questions.

……

"Did the interview go well?" Song Yang looked at Chocolate, whose face was practically beaming with happiness, and asked, "How's the compensation? I noticed you haven't signed a contract yet, right?"

"Yes, the boss is quite satisfied with me." Chocolate stood in the elevator, pressed the first floor button, and said, "As for the salary, there is a guaranteed minimum of 8,000, and the income from live streaming and commercial orders accounts for 40%. If the income exceeds the guaranteed minimum, the guaranteed minimum salary will not be paid."

"That's pretty good treatment," Song Yang nodded, but his mood became increasingly tense.

He and An Yi studied at the same third-tier university, and he knew more or less about the jobs of the senior students around him. They definitely didn't have such a high guaranteed salary as An Yi.

Although there have been news reports of livestreamers making money over the years, Song Yang knows that those are only a very small minority. What organization would offer such a high guaranteed salary?

After learning that his girlfriend's resume had passed the test, Song Yang also went to look into the salaries of MCN female anchors, and could only say that the vast majority of them did not earn any money at all.

Song Yang didn't think his girlfriend had anything particularly outstanding about her... Although Chocolate was good-looking, it's too easy to be beautiful these days. As long as you're slightly pretty, you can rival those stunning beauties after using beauty filters in videos.

Song Yang really couldn't understand why the other party would give Chocolate such a high guaranteed salary... As he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of another point.

Could it be that the shop owner has designs on the chocolate?

Moreover, the boss himself put a lot of pressure on Song Yang.

If the boss were a middle-aged man, Song Yang would be more at ease with his girlfriend. But seeing her today, and considering her looks…

Although same-sex repulsion exists, Song Yang still had to admit that he was completely outmatched by the other party in terms of looks, figure, and temperament. There was also a huge gap in terms of wealth and other factors that could be acquired later in life.

If this person is going to be in frequent contact with his girlfriend, then Song Yang is genuinely worried.

If possible, he still hopes his girlfriend won't sign the contract and will find another job.

After all, unless you're a group with a special interest, having your girlfriend spend every day with a top-tier handsome guy would inevitably create a sense of insecurity.

“Xiaoyun, I also looked into the streamer's salary yesterday.” Song Yang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your guaranteed salary is ridiculously high. I feel like something’s not right.” “What’s wrong?” An Yun stopped and looked at Song Yang with some doubt. “If all else fails, let’s find a lawyer to take a look at the contract. That way, we can spot any traps.”

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was…” Song Yang paused, then said, “Could it be that the boss has some issues with you?”

"Huh?" An Yi was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, what could he possibly be thinking? He's got the looks and the money, finding a girlfriend is easy for him. He's already being a step down by dating me. A step down and he's even paying me? What kind of stupid person would do that?"

'That's exactly what I'm worried about.' Song Yang bit his lip. The other person was clearly more sophisticated than An Yi. Over time, the attraction between someone in a higher position and someone in a lower position could intensify…

"Oh dear, you still doubt me?" An Yi hugged Song Yang's arm. "This really is a great opportunity, I want to give it a try. If you're worried, I can keep you informed anytime."

"If you want to give it a try, then let's give it a try first." Seeing his girlfriend's expression, what else could Song Yang say? He could only agree for now.

……

Chen Yan remained in the conference room, looking at the three skills on the [Career Calendar], still in a state of indecision.

If the skills offered by the previous career calendar were too weak, then this time all three skills are quite good, leaving him unsure which one to choose.

[Regular Script Calligraphy] [Fishing] [Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu]

The first one goes without saying. Although Chen Yan's handwriting frequency has dropped sharply since he went to university and he basically uses a computer to type, the importance of calligraphy is still self-evident.

The phrase "one's handwriting reflects one's character" alone demonstrates its importance.

As for the second thing, fishing... who can resist spending some free time fishing by the river? Chen Yan was also obsessed with fishing during the summer after his college entrance exam. However, he later discovered that he didn't even have a beginner's protection period and was going to go home empty-handed right away, which forced him to give up this hobby.

If I can improve my fishing skills, then I will have completely made up for this weakness.

As for the third skill, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Chen Yan felt that he still had a violent streak in his bones, and this kind of combat-related skill was quite attractive to him.

After thinking for another two or three minutes, Chen Yan finally chose regular script.

After all, while fishing is good, it's not as cost-effective as the other two.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is certainly a good choice for self-defense... but Chen Yan then thought of his current strong physical abilities.

It's no exaggeration to say that with his mastery of combat skills and the added physical enhancements from his [Pure Yang Body], there are very few people who can rival him.

After much thought, he realized that calligraphy was the most suitable art form for him.

Just like when he made his first choice, although he had already made up his mind, Chen Yan did not rush to make a choice on the [Career Calendar], and planned to start recording the time after finding a teacher.

……

Evening, Jianghai University.

"Your physical fitness is just too strong." Lin Zhixi wiped her sweat and looked at Chen Yan, who seemed completely unaffected, feeling somewhat annoyed.

She started playing tennis in her second year of high school and, with her good talent, had achieved some success. However, when she encountered this stamina monster on the other side, she was completely outmatched.

The key point is that she could tell that Chen Yan had never actually played tennis before and was a complete novice in terms of skills. He simply relied on his incredible physical abilities to completely overwhelm her.

"Can't play anymore? Then take a break." As a "psychologist," Chen Yan felt he was quite qualified. Not only did he help the "heartbroken girl" resolve her troubles last time, but he also provided after-sales service, occasionally coming to Jianghai University to play ball with Lin Zhixi.

The two sat on a bench near the edge of the tennis court, resting and chatting.

"To be honest, didn't you say last time that you were going to find a place to live? Why are you still living at school?" Chen Yan couldn't help but ask this question.

"Actually, I initially wanted to move out," Lin Zhixi said with a hint of smugness. "But then I thought, these two are being sarcastic and mean. If I just slunk away like that, wouldn't I have suffered for nothing?"

"So you're planning to stay in your dorm and continue to be disgusted?"

"No, a couple of days ago, I found an opportunity when she was being sarcastic to me again, so I slapped her across the face."

"Well done." Chen Yan first applauded her, but then immediately added, "But you should still observe before doing this kind of thing, and try not to suffer losses."

“Of course I know that.” Lin Zhixi stretched her arms and said, “But she’s another story. In the physical fitness test, she can only run 400 meters out of the 800-meter race. She can’t carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything in her hands. She’s practically a half-crippled person.”

"That's good." Chen Yan gestured towards the basketball team with a wire fence over it and said softly, "Is that basketball team still bothering you?"

“At first, he did have some.” Lin Zhixi smiled as she said this, “But ever since you came here to play tennis with me once, he’s been like a wilted cucumber.”

Seeing Lin Zhixi's overjoyed expression, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't always ask me that." Lin Zhixi gently patted Chen Yan's shoulder and asked curiously, "What have you been busy with lately? You seem to have a lot going on."

"Me?" Chen Yan thought for a moment, "I've started a small business, and I'm planning to find a calligraphy teacher to practice regular script, just to cultivate my character."

Lin Zhixi's eyes lit up.

“Why look for a teacher? I can be one.” She volunteered, “I’ve been practicing regular script and clerical script since junior high school, so I can definitely be your teacher.”

"Moreover, those calligraphy institutions are actually quite easy to scam. I used to hire a teacher from home to teach me directly. Don't worry, my skill level is definitely high enough."

Chen Yan: φ(* ̄0 ̄)
Seemingly afraid that Chen Yan wouldn't believe her, Lin Zhixi took out her phone and flipped through the photo album, showing one picture after another.

"Hey, this is something I wrote at home during winter break. How about it? Is it good enough to be your teacher?"

Chen Yan examined each piece carefully. He wasn't actually an expert in this type of calligraphy and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, but Lin Zhixi's calligraphy gave him a very comfortable feeling...

"I'll teach you, as a way of repaying you for playing tennis with me..." Lin Zhixi blinked, a sly glint in her eyes. "You just need to call me Teacher Lin."
