Chapter 240: Alpha 9
As soon as Gu Ze'an stepped into the house, he saw Xie Qi coming towards him. Before he even closed the door, he couldn't wait to raise his hands and hug Xie Qi's slender neck tightly, greedily sniffing the unique scent emanating from Xie Qi.
This familiar smell, like a refreshing rain, extinguished the irritability he had accumulated from a busy day at work. At that moment, he felt completely relaxed, all his fatigue and stress vanishing.
Xie Qi felt Gu Ze'an's warm embrace, gently put his arm around Gu Ze'an's slender waist, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sir, are you tired?"
Gu Ze'an hugged Xie Qi for a long time before slowly releasing his arms, and then walked into the house with him side by side.
As he walked, he casually replied, "It's not bad, there are just a few restless ones that will be troublesome to deal with."
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the living room, where Gu Ze'an casually slumped down on the soft and comfortable sofa. Almost as soon as he sat down, Xie Qi swiftly turned around and filled a cup of steaming hot tea for him, carefully handing it to Gu Ze'an.
Gu Ze'an took the teacup and took a sip of the slightly bitter yet sweet tea. Then he turned his gaze to Xie Qi who was sitting next to him and asked, "The driver told me that you were out?"
Hearing this, Xie Qi's faint smile faltered slightly, but soon returned to normal. He replied calmly, "Sir, I'm out looking for a job."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Ze'an's handsome eyebrows suddenly frowned tightly, and he couldn't help asking: "Isn't the pocket money I give you enough? Why do you still want to find a job?"
Facing Gu Ze'an's puzzled gaze, Xie Qi slowly explained, "Sir, I'm a senior this year. The school requires an internship certificate before a diploma can be issued."
After hearing this, Gu Ze'an remembered that this was a task for graduates. He nodded slightly and asked again, "In that case, how about you come to my company for an internship? I'll directly issue you an internship certificate when the time comes."
However, Xie Qi simply responded calmly, "Sir, no need to bother. I've already found a suitable internship today."
Gu Ze'an couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this, fearing that Xie Qi's innocent nature would be deceived again. So, he hurriedly asked, "Is this a serious job? Or why don't you come to my company?"
Xie Qi remained calm and replied firmly, "Don't worry, sir. This company was carefully selected through the campus recruitment organized by the school. I will resign after I get my internship certificate."
After hearing this, Gu Ze'an's doubts were finally alleviated a little. As long as Xie Qi was not cheated by a black-hearted company, he would not restrict Xie Qi's social activities too much.
But Gu Ze'an didn't know that the company Xie Qi went to was the Gu Group.
Seeing that Gu Ze'an didn't even ask him which company he worked for, Xie Qi chose to remain silent. He would quit his job in a few days anyway, so it didn't matter if Gu Ze'an didn't know.
But the more you fear something, the more it will come.
That day, Xie Qi went to work at Gu Group as usual. On the way here, Xie Qi spent 50 yuan and bought a ceramic vase on the roadside. The vase was not big, but it was just big enough to hold a gold brick.
This gold brick was given to him by Gu Ze'an and was worth 80 yuan. Xie Qi brought the ordinary vase containing the gold brick to the company.
Not long after Xie Qi joined the company, he was called to Gu Zeyun's office, which gave Xie Qi another opportunity to test the waters.
So Xie Qi walked into the CEO's office with the vase in his hand. After he walked in, he sat down on the chair opposite the desk and casually placed the vase on the table.
Gu Zeyun heard the voice and asked directly without even looking up, "I heard that you scolded Manager Liu yesterday?"
"Deserve to be scolded"
Gu Zeyun finally raised his head after hearing this answer, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He looked at Xie Qi, frowning slightly.
"I saw your work progress yesterday. Your abilities are indeed better than those of the older employees, but sometimes you have to obey the company's instructions."
Xie Qi crossed his arms, unafraid. "I've finished my work, but he still asked me to work overtime. Why should I indulge him?"
Gu Zeyun leaned back in his chair and asked unhappily, "What if I ask you to work overtime too?"
"Then I'll scold you too."
Xie Qi's words instantly made Gu Zeyun lose face. He wanted to say "If you don't want to do this, get out", but when he saw the golden number on Xie Qi's head, he swallowed the words back.
He believed that his "eye of heaven" would not be wrong. As long as he could win over the other party, he could become bigger and stronger. For now, he just had to be patient.
Gu Zeyun took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's good for young people to have a temper. Let's do this. I have a business to take care of later. You can come with me then."
"Let me go? Shouldn't we bring in the veteran employees for this?"
Gu Zeyun sighed, looked at Xie Qi and said, "Xiao Xie, I really intend to train you vigorously. I brought you there this time because I want to promote you. As long as you are in the same mind as the company, I will never treat you unfairly. I will give you double the salary when the time comes. If you don't want to work overtime, then don't work overtime. Just finish the work before leaving get off work."
Gu Zeyun knew that no college student could resist such a temptation. As long as he gave Xie Qi some sweet treats now, he didn't believe that Xie Qi would not be completely devoted to his company.
However, Xie Qi looked at Gu Zeyun and didn't intend to make things too awkward with him. After all, he still had to test him later. So Xie Qi pretended to be happy that a college student was recognized and said, "Boss! You really understand human nature. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard in the future!"
When Gu Zeyun heard this, he thought that Xie Qi had been won over by him, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, that's good. Just follow me this afternoon."
"Okay." Xie Qi said, and picked up the vase that had been placed on the table.
At this time, Gu Zeyun also noticed the strange vase and couldn't help asking, "Where did this vase come from? Did you bring it here?"
Xie Qi picked up the vase, placed it in front of Gu Zeyun, and explained, "Boss, this is an antique left by my grandfather. I took it out today and prepared to sell it."
When Xie Qi said this, he suddenly looked at Gu Zeyun, his eyes shining as he asked, "Boss, I heard that you have a very good eye and can see everything accurately! Since you are so good, can you help me see how much this antique is worth? I'm afraid I've been cheated."
Hearing this, Gu Zeyun was obviously pleased with Xie Qi's flattery, so he prepared to open his "third eye" and show off his skills in front of Xie Qi, the newcomer.
When he opened his "third eye", he saw that the number on the vase was hovering between 78 and 85.
After seeing this number, Gu Zeyun did not say it out loud immediately. Instead, he pretended to be mysterious and took a closer look at the vase. He said, "Your vase does look old and has a sense of age. The pattern is also very unique. If I'm not mistaken, it should be worth between 75 and 85."
As soon as Gu Zeyun finished speaking, Xie Qi leaned lazily back on the chair, staring at this man who did not live up to his reputation and only knew how to succeed by cheating, and couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Zeyun looked at Xie Qi with a frown.
Xie Qi replied calmly, "I'm so happy! I didn't expect this vase to be so valuable. But boss, are you sure this vase is worth this price?"
"Of course, your vase is real, no need to doubt it."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
At this moment, Xie Qi was completely certain that Gu Zeyun's "eye of the sky" could only see the value of superficial things. But it could not accurately measure the subjective consciousness of whether Xie Qi could create actual value for someone in the future.
