Jiang Ci came upstairs an hour later, and Lu Yudong was already leaning on the bed reading a book.
She sat in front of the computer, looking at the content Lu Yudong had translated. She couldn't understand it, but she found it very detailed.
What surprised Jiang Ci was that at the bottom of the German resume, there was a name: Ethan.
Jiang Ci asked Lu Yudong, "Who is Ethan?"
"Did I write that?"
"You forgot?" Jiang Ci pointed to the English on the computer to show Lu Yudong.
"Don't worry about it, just leave it there."
Jiang Ci felt a bit confused. She thought Ethan was likely Lu Yudong's English name. Although he said Jiang Ci wasn't qualified for the Audit Department and refused to help her, he still wrote his name at the bottom of the German resume.
With the endorsement of the President of New East Group, it would be hard for the other party not to take Jiang Ci seriously.
Jiang Ci felt warm inside. He always helped her in unintentional ways.
If this arranged marriage ended one day, how sad would she be?
When he married Yin Xuemo, how would she handle herself?
Jiang Ci checked the resume once more and sent it to the Human Resources Department's email.
Moreover, she decided to tell Chu Shuo another day that she wouldn't be going to his company. With Lu Yudong treating her like this, even if she couldn't get into the Audit Department, she shouldn't have any other thoughts.
After getting into bed, Jiang Ci rubbed her head against Lu Yudong's chest without saying a word, just feeling her eyes heat up.
"Don't be moved by yourself. I sign every foreign document to prevent others from copying it," Lu Yudong said nonchalantly.
Jiang Ci: ...
What's with this person? He just had to extinguish the warmth in others' hearts.
Annoyed, Jiang Ci picked up her phone and changed his contact name to "June."
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Lu Yudong glanced over and saw it.
"Not Passerby A anymore?" Lu Yudong asked casually.
"Yeah, that's right, it has a name now. What's my contact name in your phone?" Jiang Ci suddenly asked.
After so long, she had never seen Lu Yudong's phone.
"Little Flower," Lu Yudong said after a long pause.
Jiang Ci felt indignant. Why did he always have to one-up her?
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and turned her back to Lu Yudong to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Ci was in a good mood and worked diligently all morning. At eleven o'clock, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Jiang Ci?" The voice on the other end was a capable and pleasant female voice.
"Yes, that's me. And you are...?" She thought the caller didn't sound like someone doing telemarketing.
"I'm Zhuo Xiao, a partner at Zhongnan CPA firm. You're the assistant Chu Shuo found for me. I was just driving by New East Group and wanted to chat with you. Do you have a moment?" The tone was very polite and sincere.
Jiang Ci thought: This is the office, and discussing interview matters with someone from another company is a big no-no. She didn't say much, even though she didn't want to work at Chu Shuo's firm anymore, she still needed to explain clearly.
She said, "Sure, there's a Pengnian Café across from our company. Shall we meet there in a bit?"
"Alright. I'll be there soon."
Jiang Ci worked for another ten minutes before heading downstairs.
Zhuo Xiao was around forty, with exceptionally radiant skin, dressed in professional attire, exuding the confidence and brilliance of a career woman. Jiang Ci felt a bit envious when she saw her.
"CPA Zhuo?" Jiang Ci sat across from Zhuo Xiao.
"Jiang Ci? I've ordered a steak and a salad for you. Is that enough?" Zhuo Xiao asked warmly.
"That's enough, thank you, CPA Zhuo." Jiang Ci didn't expect Zhuo Xiao to be so considerate, which made it harder for her to refuse.
"Jiang Ci, I've seen your resume. Your academic background isn't very high, but that's okay. Chu Shuo has told me about your performance, and I'm very satisfied. I know you have a clear plan for your future. Have you decided when to start at Zhongnan? I'm really busy and urgently need an assistant. The salary for assistants varies with different accountants at our firm, but I can offer you twelve thousand." Zhuo Xiao got straight to the point, offering a salary.
Twelve thousand was much higher than Jiang Ci's current salary.
Jiang Ci stirred her coffee, "CPA Zhuo, here's the thing. I want to continue working at New East. I don't want to switch jobs."
"You don't want to?" Zhuo Xiao was clearly surprised, "I heard New East is setting up an Audit Department. Are you planning to join it?"
Jiang Ci nodded solemnly, "I'm really sorry, CPA Zhuo."
"I see," Zhuo Xiao said. "However, I've seen the recruitment information for New East Group's Audit Department. It's very strict. Not to mention the educational requirements, you also need to pass the CPA exam. The competition will be fierce. Do you think you have the qualifications? If you can't get into New East's Audit Department and come back to us, we won't take you."
Though Zhuo Xiao said this with a smile, Jiang Ci could sense the seriousness in her words, warning her not to miss this opportunity.
"I understand. I'm not very smart, but even knowing the road ahead is tough, I want to try. I don't want to have one foot in two boats," Jiang Ci said.
Although Jiang Ci refused Zhuo Xiao's offer, Zhuo Xiao was moved by Jiang Ci's honesty.
Besides, Chu Shuo had only placed Jiang Ci's resume in her inbox. Today's follow-up interview was initiated by Zhuo Xiao, not Jiang Ci, so Zhuo Xiao didn't blame her and even admired her.
"Does that mean we can't be colleagues for now?" Zhuo Xiao asked again.
"Yes," Jiang Ci replied with a smile.
"Then I'll just have a meal with my friend Jiang Ci."
Seeing Zhuo Xiao so calm and understanding, Jiang Ci felt very relieved. The two of them had a meal together and talked about many things unrelated to work.
