Chapter 28: A New Job@

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Ten days later, she arrived at Shen City, a coastal city at the southeastern part of the country. She had submitted her resume and her design portfolio to a large social media company in this city and received a notice from the company’s human resources department that she could start interviewing from the third round since their director of UI had been very satisfied after reviewing her resume and design portfolio. Therefore, she could start her interviews from the third round and if everything went well, she might even be hired.

The only thing she was proud of all these years was that she never gave up on her career. She had started work in the largest social media company in the country after graduating and had worked her way up from a beginning UI designer to a mid-level designer. If she had not resigned then, she would have been promoted to a high-level designer and draw a monthly salary of no less than $6,000.

She had resigned in order to take better care of a body to prepare her body for pregnancy.

Looking back, her actions were truly ridiculous.

She arrived at a large building in the busiest part of Shen City and slowly entered the building. Although she had been upset these few days and she still looked very gaunt, after putting on some makeup, she looked much better.

“Miss He, we look forward to welcoming you to our team.”

The director of the design department, Liang Chen, stuck out his hand to grasp the hand of the delicate woman in front of him after over 10 minutes of conversation. Or maybe she was just a girl.

He Xiyan shook his hand politely. This man looked mature and capable; his hair was swept backward and he wore a suit and leather shoes – the model office worker look.

“Thank you. I will appreciate your guidance in the future,” she said politely as she forced out a smile.

“You’re welcome! Oh yes, Student He, you may start next Monday. I’d like to give you this time to search for a house and familiarize yourself with your surroundings.” Liang Chen looked at her impassively but his words were considerate.

He Xiyan froze for a moment, thinking it odd that he called her ‘Student He’. Nonetheless, she did not probe further.

After she left that building, she hailed a cab to a high-end neighborhood within four kilometers of the office and rented a flat there. It was a two bedroom flat and the rental was high but she had no lack of money.

The flat was well-furnished in a unique classical mediterranean style, its furniture all made of good quality wood.

Once she got her career on track at this firm, she would probably purchase this flat. It was near her office and convenient for her to get to work.

She cooked two simple dishes for herself – sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried cabbage.

As she ate alone in silence, she still did not have much of an appetite. After she ate a small bowl, she suddenly remembered that she still owed that man a meal.

She recalled that his company was also located in this city. She should choose this day to eat with him since she would not have the time to do so once she started work.

She fished out her phone and sent him a text.

“Mister Ye, I am now in Shen City. I still remember that I owe you a meal, so would you be available after work?”

She asked him politely and waited for his reply.

At around 4PM, he sent her his reply – ‘Yes’.

She selected a few items of clothing from her closet. These were all newly bought since she had almost all of her clothes at the Mo mansion. She put on a cherry red colored woolen sweater, a pair of black skinny pants and a cream-colored jacket.
