As for studying and accumulating credits, she did so during university because she had cut off all social activities and had nothing else to do.
In fact, her social phobia also caused her considerable difficulty when looking for jobs.
Her resume was impeccable, but during interviews, facing strangers, she would always be too nervous to speak and get eliminated.
A few companies did hire her, but she did the work while her superiors took all the credit. Bai Xuan didn't like to argue with others, but that didn't mean she liked being taken advantage of either!
So, when she saw the recruitment for Taoxun Game Department, she submitted her resume with a try-it-out mentality. She passed the written test, but the interview went so poorly that she despaired.
After she left, Assistant Feng contacted her again and conducted a special online interview.
She could communicate without barriers online, so this interview was very successful.
She not only successfully joined Taoxun Game but also secured the position of lead programmer. To accommodate her, Taoxun Game allowed her to distribute work and communicate with others directly through internal chat software.
She was truly surprised and specifically thanked Assistant Feng. However, Assistant Feng told her that it was all Ye Zhi's idea.
When he saw that Bai Xuan had ranked first in the written test and last in the interview, he thought something was amiss, but he wondered if the written test had been leaked.
After he informed Ye Zhi about this, it was Ye Zhi who suggested conducting a second online interview. It was also under her instruction that Assistant Feng arranged the lead programmer position for her and granted her special privileges.
Upon learning the truth, Bai Xuan trusted and was very grateful to Ye Zhi, which gave her the courage to report her work to Ye Zhi alone and to only listen to Ye Zhi's encouragement.
“Manager Bai,” Ye Zhi said with a half-joking tone, “Congratulations, you’ve become famous.”
Bai Xuan replied with distress, “I don’t want to be famous…”
“Don’t worry,” Ye Zhi reassured with a smile, “Don’t overthink it. I won’t let this affect your normal life. Just focus on your work.”
Bai Xuan gratefully said, “Ms. Ye, thank you.”
After the promotional video finished playing, Yun Shi took the stage.
She mainly introduced the many details of the game cards, such as references for weapons and costume patterns. Everyone listened with awe and confusion.
On the live streaming platform, another wave of comments appeared.
【Learned something new! It takes so much to draw a single illustration!】
【Taoxun Game is really impressive, so meticulous and serious. I love it!】
【The ladies from Taoxun Game are treasures. After a cool and elegant older sister, here comes a gentle and patient one. I want to apply to Taoxun Game too.】
【Signing up as a group +1】
……
Looking at the comments, Ye Zhi’s lips twitched. Should she consider expanding the game department as well?
No, she thought, biting off more than she can chew would be a mistake. She would focus on making her own business strong first, build a solid foundation, and then consider other things.
The reporters below asked Yun Shi some questions, and Yun Shi only answered those related to art.
“Alright, today’s press conference concludes here,” Yun Shi said with a gentle and appropriate smile. “Tomorrow morning at ten, the game will officially launch. We’ll see you then!”
After the press conference ended, Feng Jie stepped forward to escort the reporters and distinguished guests who had come to show their support.
Suddenly, he spotted a somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar figure in the crowd.
Wait! That man who was still sitting in the audience, wasn't that Qi Xuan?!
Feng Jie quickly rubbed his eyes. When he confirmed he wasn't mistaken, he rushed backstage in shock, “Ms. Ye, it’s bad… No, it’s great…”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Ye Zhi said, somewhat speechless.
“I, I saw the CEO of Qi Corporation here!” Feng Jie exclaimed, looking dazed.
“You mean Qi Xuan,” Ye Zhi said casually, “I invited him.”
“Oh… Ah?!” Feng Jie was so stunned he couldn't speak. Suddenly, something in his mind seemed to be breaking through the fog, as if he was about to achieve enlightenment.
“Go see the others out first. No need to worry about Qi Xuan for now,” Ye Zhi instructed.
“Oh… Ah?!” Feng Jie became even more confused.
When most people had left, Feng Jie looked at Qi Xuan, who had been neglected all this time, and felt anxious.
Ms. Ye, Ms. Ye, you’re usually so shrewd, why are you so oblivious today?
Do you know how rich Qi Xuan is?!
He’s so rich that if Ou Minghan were a woman, she would definitely chase after him desperately!
Even though Ms. Ye seems to have an ATM, can you ever have too many ATMs?
Just as Feng Jie was hesitating whether he should apologize to Qi Xuan on behalf of Ye Zhi, Qi Xuan, who had been sitting in the audience, suddenly stood up and walked towards them.
“Finished?” Qi Xuan asked gently with a slight smile.
Feng Jie was immediately flattered and hurriedly replied, “CEO Qi, you still remember me?! Thank you for your concern. I’m almost done with my work…”
Qi Xuan: …
Ye Zhi: …
Feng Jie felt a bit confused. Why did the atmosphere suddenly feel awkward?
“Ahem, Assistant Feng, your capabilities are very strong and leave a deep impression,” Qi Xuan said calmly. The next moment, he spoke again, “Ye Zhi, are you finished?”
“Yes, I’m done,” Ye Zhi said with a light laugh.
“Then let’s go home together,” Qi Xuan said. Suddenly, his gaze swept over Feng Jie, who looked stunned, and he added, “Our two homes are close, so it’s on the way.”
“Okay,” Ye Zhi agreed.
Feng Jie felt like a bolt of lightning had just pierced through the fog in his mind. He seemed to have understood something incredibly important! So…
Ye Zhi’s endless ATM was Qi Xuan?!
Wait! They were addressing each other by their first names. That means they are very familiar with each other?! And, it should be the particularly familiar kind of familiarity!
Meaning…
Qi Xuan wasn’t talking to him earlier, but to Ye Zhi?!
Although Qi Xuan was polite and gave him enough face, at this moment, Feng Jie, the double agent, suddenly felt that the Earth was so uninteresting. He really wanted to live on another planet.
“Feng Jie, how are you getting back? Do you need a ride?” Ye Zhi asked.
“N-no need…” Feng Jie replied, looking utterly disheartened.
“Then be careful on your way,” Ye Zhi cautioned.
Feng Jie was on the verge of tears. Ms. Ye, please stop caring about me! Please, just leave quickly! I don’t want to continue feeling this embarrassing sensation!
Ye Zhi and Qi Xuan left together, and Feng Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He hailed a taxi, but as he sat in it, many things started to click for him.
Between Qi Xuan and Ye Zhi, it seemed… more than just an investor and an investee relationship, right?
Although they looked like there was nothing wrong, the way Qi Xuan looked at Ye Zhi seemed different?!
