Chapter 14 – Shuangyu’s First Day
Lin Shuangyu had worked part-time before, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with the work.
Moreover, putting aside the risk factor of Pei Jichuan, Lin Shuangyu still likes Dingchuang very much, because everyone who had played “Fuyao” knew that this game was developed by Muyi Studio under Dingchuang.
Although he basically doesn’t play this game anymore, his “Tianyu” pseudonym has become popular thanks to “The Legend of Fuyao”. He is still serializing fan comics now. He has deep feelings for this game.
On the first day after the National Day holiday, Lin Shuangyu woke up at 6:30 to the sound of the alarm clock.
He had been extremely sleepy lately, but the good habits he had developed over the years still made him wake up at the last second before the alarm went off. It takes 40 minutes to get to Dingchuang by subway from where he lived, and he planned to leave early to avoid the fate of squeezing with people during the morning rush hour.
Dingchuang is located in Luzhou Bay and the company had a building of its own.
When Lin Shuangyu arrived, there was still an hour before work began. He found a shop nearby to have breakfast and stepped into the Dingchuang Building with 15 minutes left before work.
When the front desk clerk heard that he had come to join work, she asked him to wait in the reception area. Lin Shuangyu waited for about twenty minutes, and then a woman wearing a chiffon shirt and a long hip skirt came over.
Lin Shuangyu was slightly stunned when he saw the woman’s face – Wasn’t this the dashing young lady who had rushed forward to expose the fake Liln’s identity at One Night Club!
“Mr. Lin Shuangyu, right?” the woman smiled and held out her hand. “Sorry for the wait. My name is Yao Wen, you can call me Xiao Yao or Assistant Yao.”
“Hello,” Lin Shuangyu shook her hand and said shyly, “I was lucky enough to witness Assistant Yao’s skills during the Polar Night that day. You were very impressive.”
“So you were also there at the club that night. Well, it’s a small matter, nothing much to mention,” Yao Wen said, her tone a little more relaxed. “Have you had breakfast?”
Lin Shuangyu: “Yes.”
“Then I won’t take you to have breakfast. Behind this reception hall is our staff restaurant, which provides free employee meals in the morning, noon and evening. You can go have your meals there. The food is very good.” Yao Wen said in an orderly manner.
Lin Shuangyu said obediently: “Okay, thank you Assistant Yao.”
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to complete the employment procedures first.”
Lin Shuangyu joined the art department of Muyi Studio, a subsidiary of Dingchuang. Muyi was the studio that had developed “Legend of Fuyao”, and it could be said that it was a perfect match for him.
“Mr. Pei said that you don’t like interacting with people, so you probably won’t be working here for more than a month.”
On the way there, Yao Wen spoke in a chatty tone.
Lin Shuangyu didn’t expect that Pei Jichuan had explained everything to her clearly. He said “hmm” and wondered if he would just sit on the chair for a month with pay.
But it didn’t matter, he would just bear with it and everything would pass in two months.
“That’s perfect. We’re holding a fan design competition for our game ‘The Legend of Fuyao,’ and entries have been coming in one after another. You will be in charge of the initial screening of the entries. Basically, you only need to screen the manuscripts every day, and you don’t need to communicate with others about work matters. It should be no problem, right?”
Lin Shuangyu was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that he was just being petty. The other party’s arrangement was very thoughtful.
“No problem,” Lin Shuangyu was ashamed of his own guess. “Thank you, I like this arrangement very much.”
“You don’t have to be so reserved. You can try to treat me as a friend. I’m easy to get along with.”
Lin Shuangyu replied hesitantly, “Okay.”
Yao Wen took him to complete the entry procedures, and then, probably to avoid suspicion, someone from the Human Resources Department took him to report to the art group.
Muyi Studio occupies five floors of Dingsheng Building, and the art team is on the 22nd floor. It is filled with various materials and peripherals related to “The Legend of Fuyao”. It felt as if one was actually walking into a two-dimensional world.
There is a special competition team responsible for the fan competition, and they even had an independent office. The whole team included Lin Shuangyu and a total of five people.
The team leader was an older woman who seemed easy to get along with, but she was busy in a meeting and asked another senior employee in the group to arrange Lin Shuangyu’s work. That employee only sent him a website address and a document, telling him that all the entries were on the website. Lin Shuangyu was asked to look at the requirements in the document and select the entries according to the requirements.
“I really don’t understand why the group recruits so many graduates.” Lin Shuangyu just turned around and heard someone complaining dissatisfiedly.
Lin Shuangyu paused for a moment, but didn’t care. He turned around and walked to his seat and sat down.
His computer was new, the desktop was clean and tidy, with nothing on it. He opened a web page and had just downloaded a few applications when a box of dried plums was handed to him from the next table.
Lin Shuangyu turned around and saw the little girl sitting next to him. She smiled at him friendly and whispered, “Would you like one?”
Lin Shuangyu didn’t like to eat any dried fruits, but when faced with these dried plums, he miraculously became greedy. He opened the box in response to the little girl’s kindness, pinched one and put it in his mouth, then handed the box back.
“Thanks.”
The little girl smiled and said, “My name is Zhu Xin, and I’m an intern assistant. What about you?”
“Lin Shuangyu, internship… review.”
The little girl covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, then picked up the phone on the table: “What’s your WeChat number? I’ll add you.”
Lin Shuangyu gave his mobile phone number to her, and the two added each other on WeChat. Zhu Xin was then called away by the employee who had just assigned Lin Shuangyu a job, and asked to go to the front desk to pick up a courier for her.
So the assistant also needed to help pick up the express?
Lin Shuangyu lamented that being an assistant was not easy. After opening the competition website, he discovered that even though there were still more than ten days left before the deadline, there were already more than a dozen pages with probably several thousand entries.
He suddenly remembered that he had seen the rules of the competition before. It seemed that each participant would receive a game skin. It was estimated that many people would try to take advantage of the situation just for the skin.
No wonder a dedicated review is needed!
Lin Shuangyu opened the document again to look at the review requirements. At this moment, the WeChat account logged into the computer lit up. Lin Shuangyu had just joined several company and team groups. Worried that something was wrong, he clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Pei Jichuan.
[P: Have you completed the HR procedures?]
‘I’m already working like a beast for you, capitalist!’
【Whatever: Yeah, thank you, cousin】
【P: Come to my office after getting off work at noon.】
‘What? Do you want to take advantage of me?’
【Whatever: Is there anything?】
【P: Let’s have lunch together.】
“…” Is this a lunch invitation from the president?
Lin Shuangyu was about to refuse and say that he could just go to the cafeteria to eat, but another message came in as if someone was watching him typing.
[P: Your mother cooked it herself.]
Lin Shuangyu: “…………..”
There were too many flaws in the one sentence he had sent. Lin Shuangyu didn’t know where to start for a moment, but Pei Jichuan really hit his weak spot, so Lin Shuangyu had to get over it.
After finishing chatting with the boss, Lin Shuangyu continued to look at the review requirements. After having a rough idea of them, he began to screen them one by one.
Since the quality varies a lot, there are all kinds of messes, and some participants even used emoticons. These are easy to just cross out. What he was most worried about was plagiarism and borrowing from overlay images.
In particular, Lin Shuangyu noticed that someone who drew very well actually plagiarized his work. He felt like laughing and a little helpless.
After getting off work at noon, Zhu Xin, who had been running around all morning, stood up from her chair and said energetically, “Lin Shuangyu, let’s go eat. Let me tell you, the food in the company cafeteria is super good. I’ve only been here for a month, and I’ve already gained two kilograms.”
Lin Shuangyu coughed lightly: “Next time, I have food to eat today.”
“Oh ok, I’ll go first then.”
“Good.”
Lin Shuangyu waited until everyone in the office left before he walked out of the office like a thief and took the elevator to the 33rd floor where the president’s office was.
“You’re here,” Yao Wen said as she stepped out of the elevator. “I was just about to go downstairs to pick you up. Let’s go.”
Lin Shuangyu followed Yao Wen all the way to the office, keeping his head down all the way, not wanting others to know his relationship with Pei Jichuan and attracting too much attention.
Fortunately, everyone went to eat at this time, so Yao Wen knocked on the door with the sign “President’s Office”.
“Mr. Pei, Mr. Lin is here.”
Pei Jichuan’s cold voice came out: “Come in.”
“You go ahead,” Yao Wen winked at him, “I’m going to eat.”
“Okay, thank you Assistant Yao.”
Pei Jichuan’s office was the same as A-King’s, with the word “luxury” written all over it from the ceiling to the floor tiles. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the office was bright and clean.
Pei Jichuan was sitting behind a spacious desk, staring at the computer screen with his brows slightly furrowed. He didn’t know which god dared to provoke this cold-faced King of Hell. Well done.
“The food is there.” Pei Jichuan raised his chin to the right.
Next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the Luzhou Bay, there was a small dining table with a lunch box and a thermos bag on it. It seemed that Pei Jichuan did not lie and he really brought lunch.
Why not just eat in the cafeteria? Why bring your own lunch?
Lin Shuangyu went over and took out the two lunch boxes without complaint, and then was a little dumbfounded. There were four dishes in the lunch boxes, two seafoods, stir-fried shrimps with asparagus, steamed eggs with sea urchin, stir-fried beef and a blanched vegetable.
‘Wow, it’s a whole seafood meeting.’
“What are you daydreaming about?” Pei Jichuan came out of the small lounge next to his office after washing his hands, and asked when he saw Lin Shuangyu standing there motionless.
“I……”
Lin Shuangyu opened the lid of a lunch box and placed it in front of Pei Jichuan. He also opened his own and sat down at the dining table.
Lin Shuangyu didn’t know if the food was just delivered, but it was steaming hot, as if it had just come out of the pot. Pei Jichuan had good table manners, he was elegant and polite, but his eating speed was not slow. After a while, he had eaten half of it. He looked up and saw Lin Shuangyu slowly picked up a piece of blanched cabbage, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly for a long time, then picked up a small mouthful of rice and put it in his mouth.
In his lunch box, only the beef and vegetables showed signs of being eaten, while the two seafoods did not even have any scratches on the skin.
“Not to your liking?” Pei Jichuan frowned slightly.
Lin Shuangyu’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled: “I’m allergic to seafood recently. I feel a little nauseous after eating it.”
Pei Jichuan thought of how picky he was when he was eating barbecue, and said coldly: “What a hassle.”
Blame it on him, which dog asked him to eat together?!
Lin Shuangyu lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, but saw Pei Jichuan taking out a pair of clean chopsticks, putting the two seafood dishes on his plate into his own lunch box, and then put the untouched dishes on the other side of his lunch box back to him.
Lin Shuangyu was flattered without any pretense and quickly said, “No need to give it to me, eat it yourself.”
Pei Jichuan resolutely put his own dish on his plate before saying, “Eat quickly, you picky eater.”
“…”
‘You are the picky eater, your whole family is picky eaters!’
After the unpleasant seafood left Lin Shuangyu’s plate, his appetite immediately improved, especially the stir-fried beef with pickled wild pepper and pickled radish, which was sour, spicy, fresh and fragrant, and very appetizing. Before he knew it, he had finished all the meal.
After the meal, Lin Shuangyu took the initiative to clean up the lunch box. Pei Jichuan did not act like a big shot and took out a wet towel to wipe the table. It can be seen that this gentleman still has some good upbringing.
“I’m going back first, cousin.” Lin Shuangyu didn’t want to meet the employees on this floor and planned to slip away.
Pei Jichuan wiped the table clean, then slowly took out a clean wet wipe to wipe his slender, beautiful fingers. He said, “There’s a special sale for new employees on the 8th floor. Yao Wen can take you there.”
Lin Shuangyu responded vaguely, not very interested. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Pei Jichuan threw the wet wipes into the trash can, picked up his phone and said, “Forget it, I’ll go with you.”
Damn it, couldn’t Pei Jichuan just concentrate on being a cool and aloof CEO who was busy with all sorts of things? Why did he even take him to see some new employee benefits sale? How ambiguous.
“No! No need to trouble my cousin, I can go and see it myself.” Lin Shuangyu said flattered.
“It’s okay, it helps digestion.”
“…” Lin Shuangyu didn’t want to go at all, mainly because he didn’t want to be seen by people in the company.
Pei Jichuan seemed to know what he was thinking and said indifferently, “It opens in the evening after the work hours, so there’s no one there right now.”
At this point, no matter how reluctant Lin Shuangyu was, he still had to pretend to be gentle, courteous, frugal and followed Pei Jichuan down the stairs in the special elevator.
The 8th floor looks ordinary from the outside, but after opening the door and going in, what appears before your eyes are long corridors with vertical signs at the entrance of each corridor. Pei Jichuan took a quick look and accurately found the corridor belonging to “The Legend of Fuyao” and walked in.
Lin Shuangyu didn’t care at first, but when he walked through the corridor and arrived at the first room, his eyes widened immediately.
The room is decorated like a clothing store in a shopping mall. It is filled with a wide variety of clothes that are collaborative products between “Legend of Fuyao” and other clothing brands. Most of them are beautiful little dresses of various colors, and they are all out of print.
Even the “Rich Summer” series that amazed him for a long time at first, but because it was linked to a high-end brand, the price was extremely high, so he couldn’t bear to buy it at the time. Now he regrets it so much!
There were even many that he had never seen before, and each one was more stunning than the last.
He wants them all!
Is this heaven?
“Forget it, these are all women’s clothes. You won’t be interested.”
Pei Jichuan put one hand in his pocket and turned around: “Let’s go to the next room.”
Lin Shuangyu, immersed in joy, said: “……?”
