Chapter 60 Su Li
Chapter 60 Su Li
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on Xia Xue.
Xia Xue casually tossed the resume onto the table, flashed a sincere smile, and said to Su Li with a firm tone, "No need to look at the resume. The moment I saw you, I knew you were the talent I needed. Ms. Su Li, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Hearing this, Su Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Thank you, Ms. Xia Xue. I will definitely work hard."
Xia Xue nodded to Su Li, raised her hand, and shouted loudly to Shen Wanyi from a distance, "Wanyi, give me two mochas and a cheesecake."
Su Li glanced at Xia Xue with surprise.
Unexpectedly, her taste was exactly the same as Xia Xue's.
Xia Xue actually ordered according to her own taste.
During their last meeting, Xia Xue obtained a lot of information about Zu Li through three rounds of tracing.
This includes the flavor of coffee and favorite desserts.
"Weren't you doing well working at the East Suburbs Horse Farm? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to find a job?"
After confirming the employment relationship, Su Li relaxed and was no longer as nervous as before.
"Because my ex-boyfriend He Xiang, we both worked at the East Suburbs Horse Farm as equestrian instructors. After we broke up, he slandered me at the horse farm. In a fit of anger, I quit my job."
Su Li spoke through gritted teeth, clearly indicating that the incident still affected her.
Xia Xue thought of the title of Su Li's work.
Sealing off one's heart and locking away love?
Doesn't this just show that she values relationships?
It's likely that her ex-boyfriend has long since moved on, but Su Li is still unable to let go.
Xia Xue sighed and said with emotion, "Actually, you don't need to ruin your career for a relationship."
Su Li took the coffee Shen Wanyi brought her, and while stirring it gently with a small spoon, she said with a sigh, "I only realized later that that bastard deliberately said it to me. He knew I was thin-skinned and wouldn't be able to stand the gossip, so I would be the first to resign."
Some things just need to be said.
Xia Xue looked at Su Li with a complicated expression, and said with self-reproach, "If I hadn't interfered, perhaps..."
Su Li quickly shook her head, stared intently into Xia Xue's eyes, and said firmly, "No, Miss Xia Xue, I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have found out. The longer it goes on, the deeper I will fall, and the more painful it will be for me to see his true colors later."
Xia Xue felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
"So, your heartbreak hasn't reached the point where you've completely shut yourself off from love?"
Su Li looked at Xia Xue with a puzzled expression.
"Of course, he's just a jerk I've been dating for three months. We haven't even had any intimate moments. Why should I shut my heart and lock away my love for him?"
Speaking of this, Su Li felt a wave of fear.
Recently, He Xiang has been testing her limits with those kinds of things, constantly brainwashing her by saying that it's normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to do those kinds of things. When she caught him in the act, the bastard's excuse was that he was blaming her for not giving him what he wanted, which is why he cheated on her.
That bastard.
He should have been slapped twice more back then.
Xia Xue picked up the coffee on the table, her eyes lowered as she thought to herself, "So, my unauthorized decision changed Su Li's fate."
This allowed her to see the true colors of the scumbag before the relationship was deep enough, leading her to end it and preventing Su Li from truly sealing her heart away from love.
"I have caused such a significant negative impact on this work, yet the system has not reacted at all."
There was neither reward nor punishment.
Completely ignored.
"How cold-hearted."
Su Li took a sip of hot, sweet and bitter coffee, which gradually calmed her complicated emotions.
Looking at Su Li, who was gradually calming down, Xia Xue smiled and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
Su Li looked up at Xia Xue, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry you had to laugh at me. I feel much better after saying it out loud."
"That's good." Before Su Li could speak, Xia Xue said jokingly, "No need to thank me. I was just worried that this would delay the work I assigned you and waste the 500,000 yuan annual salary I gave you."
A five-hundred-thousand-dollar annual salary?
It was almost double what she earned working at the horse farm.
Su Li swallowed subconsciously, her expression becoming serious and resolute.
"Boss, what is my job?"
Even if Xia Xue's demands are a bit excessive, it's not unacceptable considering the annual salary of 500,000.
Xia Xue picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and said with a smile, "Don't be so serious. The job I'm giving you is very simple: as my personal assistant, liaise with Chenxi Entertainment and ensure that the short drama we're co-producing with another company can be filmed smoothly."
Morning Light Entertainment? Short Drama?
Su Li quickly recalled the relevant information in her mind and asked in surprise, "Miss Xia Xue, are you the owner of Chenxi Entertainment?"
"It tastes good." Sipping her coffee, Xia Xue nodded slightly and casually replied, "My father entrusted it to me for the time being, but I'll probably have to return it in a while."
Su Li's throat moved.
Is this what a rich family's heiress looks like?
Such a large company as Chenxi Entertainment is actually just a training ground for rich heiresses.
"President Xia, I will definitely keep a close eye on things for you and will absolutely not let Chenxi Entertainment run into any problems during this period."
Xia Xue glanced at Su Li and knew she had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. It was good for her to be busy, as it would help her heal her heartbreak and hone her skills.
"Don't forget, there's another task I've given you."
Su Li then remembered the short drama. Seeing Xia Xue's attitude, she quickly assured her, "I promise to put the short drama as the highest priority."
Xia Xue nodded in satisfaction.
Worried that pushing too hard might backfire, he added, "Just do your best with Chenxi Entertainment. Even if something goes wrong, it's okay. You can just return it to your father later."
Su Li naturally sensed Xia Xue's concern, nodded heavily, and said earnestly with a nasal tone, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
Xia Xue sensed something, glanced in a certain direction out of the corner of her eye, chuckled, finished her coffee in one gulp, and stood up.
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Don't rush off, finish your coffee before you go, don't waste it."
Xia Xue walked to the counter.
"Wanyi, the bill is due."
Shen Wanyi smiled and glanced at Su Li, saying, "You have good taste; you've hired an excellent employee."
Xia Xue glanced at Qin Jingzhou and teased, "Wanyi, you have good taste too. The employees you hired are excellent."
Qin Jingzhou always wore a faint smile that suggested he had seen through the ways of the world. He pressed the keyboard twice and said, "Cheng Hui, 68 yuan."
