Even though Zhu Qianyu found the logic questionable, she still earnestly answered Ji Huan.
"Very satisfied. Both the people and environnt are excellent!"
Although she only interacted with two people today, both left a very good impression on her. Whether it was Sister Zhang or Tian Fang, they were very easygoing but also serious and efficient. Most importantly, neither of them put on airs with a newcor like her.
As for Ji Huan, in Zhu Qianyu’s mind, if she ignored his initial "ulterior motives" in approaching her, he was gradually getting closer to the definition of "good".
"As long as you’re satisfied, that’s good. I was worried that I’d be more of a hindrance than a help." Ji Huan’s voice was as pleasant as ever, with a hint of amusent.
"Mr. Ji, thank you so much!"
Zhu Qianyu contemplated whether she should buy a gift to thank Ji Huan.
The assistance Ji Huan provided was so apt; just from Tian Fang’s friendly deanor towards her today, he must have made arrangents beforehand. A re al probably couldn’t repay his kindness.
"Are you sincerely wanting to thank ?"
The man’s question caused Zhu Qianyu to feel a bit uneasy.
He wouldn’t, taking this opportunity, ask her to get closer to him, would he?
"Of course..." Her tone had lost the decisiveness it had before.
"Then could you call Ji Huan in the future, and can I call you Xiao Yu?"
The man’s words took Zhu Qianyu by surprise.
"Of course!"
She answered crisply, feeling a sense of relief.
"It’s settled then, no more calling Mr. Ji." The man’s tone sounded very happy.
Zhu Qianyu couldn’t help but smile as well.
"Yes, it’s a deal."
"If you encounter anything troubleso during your internship, feel free to call , okay?"
"Okay! Got it!"
"Alright, I’ll hang up now. Once again, congratulations on passing the interview!"
After hanging up, Zhu Qianyu ate while browsing Taobao to see if there was anything suitable as a gift to express her gratitude to Ji Huan.
But even after finishing her al, she still had no clue.
In this open era, many first-year college girls have their love stories long enough to fill a book. Yet Zhu Qianyu has yet to experience the taste of love.
She attended all-girls schools throughout middle and high school, and the n she interacted with daily, aside from the few insincere brothers at ho, were all the so-called suitable family scions that her father tried to introduce to her and her sister.
Most of those young nobles were spoiled playboys, spending their days in indulgence and leisure.
Faced with such n, despite her tender heart yearning for romance, Zhu Qianyu found no one who caught her eye.
In her first year of university, she t quite a few boys, but she increasingly felt the pressure from ho, eager to spread her wings and live independently from the Zhu family.
So, choosing a gift for Ji Huan, who was about her age, was indeed challenging for her.
After hesitating for over half an hour, Zhu Qianyu dialed her sister’s number.
The phone, which had been inaccessible all day yesterday, was picked up after a few rings today.
"Xiao Yu, how’s it going with the internship?"
"Yes, it’s settled. It’s at Xinying Entertainnt, Sister!"
Appearing mature and composed in front of others, Zhu Qianyu was just a little girl in front of her sister.
The person on the other end seed to sense her joy, replying in a cheerful tone, "Xinying Entertainnt, huh? That’s a big company. Well done, Xiao Yu!"
"Actually, it was our foreign language teacher who recomnded . Sister, I want to get a gift for him. What do you think I should buy?"
"A male teacher?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Qianyu avoided the details, without planning to tell her sister that the foreign language teacher was the sa man who had "harassed" her recently. Knowing her sister, if she found out, she might not let her go for the internship at Xinying.
But she was reluctant to lose this internship opportunity, and she felt that Ji Huan probably didn’t have any ulterior motives towards her.
Comforting herself with these thoughts, Zhu Qianyu chose to hide the truth from her sister concerning Ji Huan.
"Buying a gift? Are you interested in him?" Her sister’s intuition was sharp as ever.
"Sister, of course I’m not interested in him. The man has kids!"
Although Zhu Qianyu found it hard to believe that Ji Huan was just over twenty and already had twins, she had seen it with her own eyes, so she had to believe it.
She forgets that so things in this world, even if seen with one’s own eyes, are not necessarily true!
"Alright, as long as you rember he has kids. When it cos to gifts, just cater to his interests. But rember, don’t give anything with special anings."
Taking her sister’s advice to heart, Zhu Qianyu went online to search for what kind of gifts had so-called special anings.
After looking through a pile of answers, she realized that things like scarves, belts, wallets, watches, and cups all had special anings.
Who knew that gifting n had so many nuances?
Before knowing these do’s and don’ts, Zhu Qianyu was already unsure about what to pick. Now, after reading these answers, she was even more bewildered.
Ultimately, she abandoned the idea of selecting a gift from Taobao, opting instead to "cater to interests" as a guideline for finding a target item.
To cater to interests, the foremost condition is knowing what the other person’s interests are.
But with her limited knowledge of Ji Huan, she genuinely didn’t know his interests.
Propping her chin and gazing out the window, Zhu Qianyu pondered for a long ti, realizing she had little information on him. All she knew was his na, Ji Huan, soon to be twenty-one, a B University graduate, fluent in at least one foreign language, and working in a large enterprise, perhaps an elite white-collar worker.
Browsing through these basic details, Zhu Qianyu couldn’t pinpoint his interests.
Well, he likes playing basketball, enjoys spicy food, and likes...
Scratching her head, Zhu Qianyu vaguely recalled him chattering in her ear yesterday about a bunch of likes?
He likes eating fish... I also like spicy fish stew... Likes eating beef... I like cumin beef too... Enjoys lon... Likes cakes and sweets...
Ah!
Got it!
He ntioned several tis that he loves cakes and sweets, and it seems he told her two or three tis that her mango mille-feuille was delicious!
So, could the gift be once again making a mille-feuille cake for him?
At this mont, Zhu Qianyu was completely unaware that she was unwittingly led by Ji Huan into a deep trap, from which she could never climb out!
