Back Then, I Adored You
chapter-471

Something about this intern stood out.

Age didn’t mean everything, but Gu Yusheng made a mental note of it. After reviewing Qin Zhi’ai’s intern profile, he turned around and passed the file to Xiaowang. “Can you check her documents?”

“What?” Gu Yusheng had been acting strangely for the past few days, and Xiaowang couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Yusheng frowned but didn’t respond.

Xiaowang took the file, and when he saw the picture and name on the file, he recognized her immediately. “Isn’t she the student we met at Xi University?”

“Yes,” Gu Yusheng answered nonchalantly.

That girl student… Why does Master Gu want information on her? Did he fall in love with her at first sight or something?

Xiaowang looked at Gu Yusheng with curiosity.

Gu Yusheng frowned more and said casually, “I talked to her at length that day, and she seemed very mature. Secretary Zhang is pregnant, isn’t she? I think she might not be able to handle the business of two companies right now, so I’ve been thinking about finding a new secretary.”

Xiaowang suddenly understood Gu Yusheng’s rationale. “But shouldn’t we find a more experienced one?”

“It’s easier to train a novice,” Gu Yusheng said.

Xiaowang nodded in agreement. “Master Gu, I will check her documents first thing tomorrow.”

Gu Yusheng nodded but said nothing. He waved at Xiaowang to leave.

…

Qin Zhi’ai had started looking early for an internship so she wouldn’t have to rush. So far, she’d only applied to Hui Shi after researching the gaming company on the internet.

Qin Zhi’ai figured she’d have to wait for at least a week before hearing anything back from them. She didn’t think she would receive a call from Hui Shi just three days after she submitted her application.

“Hello, Miss Qin. I am the HR manager at Hui Shi. I am pleased to say we would like to offer you the job.”

Qin Zhi’ai thought she was dreaming. She literally pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn’t. Quickly repressing her excitement, she responded, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Miss Qin.” The HR manager sounded nice, as well as efficient. She continued, “Miss Qin, can you report to work next Monday?”

Qin Zhi’ai had not finished the semester yet, but all she had left were final exams and a small amount of coursework. She answered without hesitation, “Sure.”

“Meet me at my office in the HR Department on Monday at 9:30 a.m.” The HR woman then added, “Oh, Miss Qin, you applied for a designer position, but I need to tell you that the position we’re hiring you for is executive secretary. The salary is…” Qin Zhi’ai’s mind wandered.

Executive secretary? Is that an administration job? The internship salary was a lot higher than most of their other jobs. Wow, could this be a scam?

“Miss Qin, are you there?” asked the HR manager after a long pause.

“Yes,” Qin Zhi’ai answered quickly. “I will see you on Monday.”

…

Qin Zhi’ai woke up early that next Monday morning. After showering and dressing, she checked herself in the mirror several times to make sure she looked professional on her first day. Once satisfied, she left the apartment and took the subway to Hui Shi.
