It was not yet nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived at Andeva's office.
As the holder of the record for the largest number of incidents resolved in history, Andewa's financial resources are naturally not to be underestimated. His office is located in a building close to the center of the city, and it looks very impressive from a distance.
Zhi Xi followed Hong into the lobby on the first floor, and the reception lady at the front desk smiled and led them the way, but she only sent them to the elevator entrance politely.
The man's office is on the top floor of this building.
Zhi Xi, who has been here a few times in the past, can be regarded as familiar with the road, as she said before, she will not be too nervous.It's just that this time, it's inevitable that there will be a little more new feelings.
"Later, if he asks you...about your personality," Zhi Xi looked at the jumping numbers, and heard a booming sound next to her ear. She turned her head, and the other party was looking at her, and there was something in the strange-colored eyes. Similar to the emotion of "soothing", the voice was low and gentle, "Just say, I am afraid of hurting you, so I stopped."
It's about taking everything on yourself.
Zhi Xi paused, then hesitated: "Then if uncle asked me why I was hugged by you at that time?"
boom:"……"
It's almost impossible to talk today.
In the narrow space of the elevator, ever since the girl asked the words, she fell into a strange and quiet atmosphere. The numbers rose all the way to the top floor. After the sound of "ding", Hong had no choice but to speak in a somewhat embarrassing voice: " ...he wouldn't ask you that."
To ask is to ask him.
Zhi Xi gave a low "Oh" and followed him out of the elevator door.
On the top floor is Andeva's oversized open office.
The first time she came here was a year and a half ago. At that time, she didn't know much about this area. She just vaguely felt that the decoration of this place was very expensive. Coupled with the slight rejection of Andewa due to the impact of the bombing, Every time she came here, she would withdraw all her consciousness from Hong and fall into silent darkness.
Abbreviation, autistic.
But now, when she stepped on the dark marble floor tiles here again, looking at the sunlight outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to her, it took her two years to realize that the young man beside her seemed to have some extraordinary family background.
For a moment, Zhi Xi looked at Hong with strange enthusiasm.
The two walked quietly all the way to Andeva's desk at the end of the floor.The red-haired man had been waiting here for a long time. When facing the two of them—or, in other words, when an outsider like Youzhixi was present, the man's expression was between majesty and kindness, which is the habit of people who have been in a superior position for a long time. Some attitude.
In fact, there is no need to show her this look, Zhi Xi thought, she has seen Andeva's terrifying expression of "I am the best in the world" and "You are my big baby" when he spoke to his youngest son. , She shuts herself up every time she sees her, and now she is caught off guard when she sees a man with such a face, which is a bit creepy in comparison (.
"I'm very glad that you two chose my firm for the next week's workplace experience." The man in front of the large desk spoke in a deep voice, speaking to the two of them, with a pair of blue eyes But he looked straight at Zhixi, "Let me introduce myself first, I am 'Hero of Flames' Andwa, I don't know Zhixi, welcome to my office."
"Ah, yes! Hello, Mr. Andawa, I am Ichigo, Class B, Class B, Xiongying High School. I am very honored to receive your application!"
Zhi Xi unhurriedly revealed a bit of "nervousness" that she had practiced long ago, and carefully tightened the hem of her clothes to reveal these details to the man.
In front of the absolute superior, actively showing weakness can better dispel the suspicion of the other party. Besides, thinking of some things that are likely to happen next, Zhixi already had the feeling of being "asked" when she filled out the workplace experience form. Prepare.
Sure enough, after a few brief words on the scene, Andeva found a very insincere reason to dismiss Hong Jiaodong. When the young man left, he glanced at Zhixi indifferently, and there was nothing in his eyes other than what he had seen before. Appease", adding a few traces of worry.
"I don't know my classmate, I'm speaking to you as Jiao Dong's father, not as Andeva." After Hong left, the red-haired man put away his words. When Zhixi looked up at the original calm and self-imposing face, he didn't know if he was dazzled by the sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows next to him, but he saw a little gentle smile in his eyes.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Hong Jiaodong's father, Hong Yansi." The man's voice softened a little, and he put his hands on the table with his hands folded, his expression relaxed as if he was talking to her, "I think I don’t know that my classmates may have already guessed it before coming here, but I want to ask about what happened between you and that kid Jiao Dong in the ring during the sports festival.”
Is the world of adults so complicated? Zhi Xi thought to herself, if it wasn't for her understanding of Hong Yansi in the past two years, she might have been deceived by his performance with too much contrast between before and after , thinking that he is really a gentle and close man in private.
These mental activities took place in her mind for less than half a second, and the girl raised her eyelids, showing a bit of "flattered" and "surprised" at the right time, "...ah? Is that so?"
She took another half step forward, leaning her upper body slightly forward, "Uncle Hong...do you want to ask something about the ring?"
Looking at the confused eyes cast by this girl who was about the same age as his youngest son, and her body movements also showed her trust and admiration for him, Honji secretly lamented that a child of this age should be so easy to understand, It's not like Jiao Dong always quarrels with him, but at the same time, she feels a little headache because of her complete incomprehension.He coughed lightly, "It's about the personality of the unknown classmate...I'll just say it straight."
Zhi Xi: Why can't this person pretend anymore?
Zhi Xi: But it's really unexpected. I thought he would ask him directly according to his arrogant temperament, but the sudden appearance just now is quite shocking.
"I read your file. Your personality is the same as your hero's name. It's 'Alice', which means hallucination and somatosensory control, right?"
"Ah, yes! But I still have a lot of inadequacies in my ability, so in terms of time..."
"--Those don't matter," the man interrupted him, when his blue eyes looked over, a trace of indifference flashed across his eyes very quickly, and then was covered up again, "I want to ask my classmates, are you How did you control the ice that scorched the child?"
It actually directly determined what happened in the arena that day.
Zhixi: Ah, it’s really a familiar formula, I feel more used to it.
The girl stared at him blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Several seconds passed, and the irritability gradually grew. Koyanji frowned a little impatiently, and was about to speak out again, when the girl finally answered, "...Uh, I don't quite understand what uncle means."
She looked dazed, her nose wrinkled slightly, she was completely puzzled, and a little timid, "That ice... isn't classmate Hong controlling it by himself?"
Boom Yansi gave a meal.
He really hadn't thought of that.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.Hong Jiaodong is in the period of rebellion. In order to anger him, he never refuses to use the other half of his personality in the competition. He always tries his best to win the first place. When he is in a duel with girls, he wants to be handsome and show a gentleman's demeanor Deliberately controlling the ice - also makes sense.
……
Zhixi couldn't understand the reason at all, why after she just pretended to be stupid and said the dishonorable words, Hong Yansi's expression changed visibly with the naked eye. Now it suddenly turned into spring breeze and rain and...a little scrutiny, a little pickiness?
But it's really lucky...
Fortunately, apart from the hair on the left side and the color of his eyes, Jiao Dong has almost no resemblance to him, otherwise, if Zhixi, who has been parasitic on him for two years, would look in the mirror every morning and see such a picture, it would stop the little night cry face, it is estimated that the hobby is not to look at handsome guys but to be autistic.
The man abruptly stopped the topic just now, exchanged pleasantries with her, and then sent her away.
As soon as Zhi Xi left the office, she met Hong Jiao Dong who seemed to be guarding the door all the time.
"How is it?" he stepped forward, his voice low, "he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"Pfft," Zhi Xi couldn't help laughing seeing the young man's nervous expression, "Is Jiao Dong afraid that your father will eat me? It should be fine for now, don't worry."
Hong Wenyan heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and led her down the first floor, "We have nothing to do today, just stay on this floor to familiarize yourself with the situation of your department, you are assigned to the on-site investigation department... That one is Minister Kobayashi who is in charge of leading you."
Zhi Xi followed his gaze and saw that inside the door with the sign of "Site Investigation Department", a woman in a light-colored professional suit was sitting at the front of several desks.She lowered her voice: "I remember, what about you? Where are you?"
"I'm in the same department as you."
After Hong said this, he noticed that the girl looked at him with a little more "I knew it". Last night, he made such an arrangement request with his father last night, as if his mind had been pierced, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation for a while.
Zhi Xi patted him on the shoulder, "I understand, I understand everything."
"That, I..."
"The on-site investigation department is going to the scene, right? I understand. You have to watch the excitement together to be happy. I understand."
"...uh, uh."
As Hong Jiaodong said, the workload on the first day was not much, and most of the work was done by the seniors. All she needed to do was small things like printing documents that anyone could do.
However, because of his own special situation, Hong Jiaodong has already followed up with some small cases.
The Minister Kobayashi who is in charge of Dai Zhixi is named Nami Kobayashi, she is a young professional woman, what does not match her age is her super working ability - otherwise she would not have taken the position of minister at this age .
In less than two hours, Zhi Xi saw that she had given several orders in succession without any hesitation, and she had only been here for a morning, and already had the idea of "I think she will continue to be promoted".
"Are you still getting used to it?" When eating lunch in the cafeteria, Xiao Lin sat opposite Zhi Xi and Hong with a plate, and smiled softly, "Today's workload is relatively light, how does Zhi Xi feel?"
...Yes, in stark contrast to Kobayashi Nami's tough and decisive style of handling things, is her gentle and amiable character. It is precisely because of this that Zhixi was shocked by this person's work status after introducing herself to each other at the beginning.
The girl put down her chopsticks, "Thank you, senior Xiaolin, for your concern. I think I have adapted well, and I will work harder in the future."
Her answer was very comprehensive, and Nami Kobayashi couldn't help but feel more fond of this girl, "Zhi Xi and Hong Jun are not in the same class, right? How did the two know each other? Can you tell me?"
Zhi Xi: ...Good question.
Fortunately, Hong's reaction was quick, "We are middle school classmates."
"Ah, that's how it is." Xiao Lin smiled, and added: "No wonder I said, I saw that you cooperated very well at work in the morning. Did you know each other when you were in middle school? Now you can be assigned to work together. It was a great experience.”
Zhi Xi took the conversation in a timely manner, "I am also very happy to be able to learn from Senior Xiao Lin."
……
After Nami Kobayashi left, the girl bent her elbow and bumped the boy next to her lightly, "Hey," she leaned into his ear, "She said just now that we have a good understanding."
The hot air she exhaled when she spoke brushed against Hong's ears, making his auricles warm up a little. The young man sat quietly for a while, and said softly: "En."
"What are you um?" Zhi Xi slumped her shoulders, "I want you and me to pretend that we don't have such a tacit understanding, look, it's been seen by others!"
If calculated by the hour, they spent a long time together. She even confidently said that she spent more time with Hong than Andewa. It is precisely because of this that the "tacit understanding" when she and Hong get along on weekdays has been recognized by her. Inertly ignoring it, now being pointed out by senior Xiao Lin, Zhi Xi felt that it was really bad.
Hong Jiaodong didn't express his opinion, she thought he had listened to his words.
Taking out the phone from her pocket, Zhi Xi originally planned to check the time, but the line reminded that there was new news.
[...Hey, I have a question for you. ]
[Do you think I look good with this hairstyle? ]
[picture]
[Don't say ugly! ! ]
[……Well. ]
The impact of the picture is too strong, Zhixi tried every means to make her wording as tactful as possible.
[... Bakugo-kun, comb your hair to look like an adult. ]
[——What do you mean by egg roll? ]
[no no.Please be sure to recommend the hairspray brand to me, please don't refuse to share it just because I am not your good friend. ]
[Are you finished! ! ]
[Endless, hee hee OvO. ]
At this moment, the blond boy who was slapped by his mentor was standing alone in front of the mirror in the men's bathroom, looking down at the message displayed on the phone screen.
"Looking like a grown-up"...what does that mean?
Does she think it looks more mature?
- more masculine?
After a while, the boy stretched out his hand to catch some water, and pressed down the blond hair that was about to explode.
As the holder of the record for the largest number of incidents resolved in history, Andewa's financial resources are naturally not to be underestimated. His office is located in a building close to the center of the city, and it looks very impressive from a distance.
Zhi Xi followed Hong into the lobby on the first floor, and the reception lady at the front desk smiled and led them the way, but she only sent them to the elevator entrance politely.
