20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3772 Narcissus

Aren't you cold?

Lin Xiaojie heard Zhao Chang'an ask another question. She was a little dazed and subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhao Chang'an sitting next to her. She saw his bright eyes, which made her heart race and her breath catch in her gaze.

"I'm not cold."

Lin Xiaojie quickly answered, pressing her legs even closer together, her hands resting on her thighs as if trying to fasten the fabric of her cheongsam.

“You don’t need to be so nervous. She didn’t bring anything with her this time. I’ll talk to Qiaojiashan and ask her family to tidy up her dormitory. She needs to bring her ID card. How about transferring your personnel file to the R&D center, including your household registration? Or you can take a leave of absence without pay. If you get tired of staying here, you can go back to being a teacher.”

Zhao Chang'an's words were disjointed. The first sentence was addressed to Lin Xiaojie, the middle sentence was addressed to He Cai and the others, and the later sentences were addressed to Lin Xiaojie again.

"I lost my ID card."

Lin Xiaojie was lying, blushing slightly and feeling awkward. Yesterday morning, before putting on this bright red cheongsam and high heels—the most beautiful and expensive clothes and shoes she had ever worn in her life—she burned all her letters with Liu Shilin over the years, her diary, photos, and even her ID card.

"So, do you want to register your household registration under the collective household registration at Qiaojiashan Primary School, or do you want to register it again under the household registration at Jiangcheng Nanotechnology Research Center?"

"I...I don't want to go back."

Zhao Chang'an nodded and said to He Cai, "Lend her 10,000 yuan and take her to the Optics Valley area to get a relocation certificate when you have time. I'll have Qiao Yan take it back to transfer her household registration. Do you remember her ID number?"

Lin Xiaojie nodded: "I remember."

He quickly added, "I don't need that much, just lend me a few hundred yuan."

Her annual salary plus bonus was less than 4,500 yuan, so Zhao Chang'an asked He Cai to lend her more than two years' worth of salary, which startled her.

"There's a reason why I lent you so much. Once your household registration issue is resolved, Ms. Ye Yiyi will take some time to talk to you. If you can become her assistant, you'll be paid in Euros, easily over 10,000 a month. If you don't want to travel all over the country like this, you can also join the OneNan Group. The minimum wage in Jiangcheng for OneNan Holdings is 3,000 yuan per month, which you can also afford to pay back."

Zhao Chang'an explained, "Don't think you can't do it. As long as you are sincere and work hard, there is always a suitable job for you in such a large company as Jiangcheng One Nano Holdings. Even if you go to a wafer fab in the future, the basic salary there will definitely not be too low."

Zhao Chang'an said this because he was also unsure whether it was appropriate to send Lin Xiaojie to Ye Yiyi's place. For Ye Yiyi, what she needed now were domestic assistants like He Cai and Chu Yun. Lin Xiaojie was too timid and hesitant to be suitable.

He said that in the car because he was worried about gossip. If he had said that he was going to arrange for Lin Xiaojie to be a nanometer, people would have thought he was after her beauty.

In reality, Lin Xiaojie was just a pitiful and infuriating little dog he happened to encounter, plus there was the connection with Li Shiya from his previous life, otherwise he really wouldn't bother with this matter.

"I might not be able to handle Ms. Ye's job. I've thought about it, and actually I don't know anything, but I can work in a factory."

Lin Xiaojie mustered her courage and glanced at Zhao Chang'an, but seeing his handsome face and bright eyes, she quickly lowered her head to avoid looking at him.

Zhao Chang'an was a little surprised that Lin Xiaojie thought this way, and he glanced at He Cai.

“I think Xiaojie should recharge herself first, instead of becoming a worker on a factory assembly line.”

He Cai said, "She studied Chinese language and literature at a teacher's college. Getting into a vocational school is impressive; I wanted to study transportation at one, but my score wasn't high enough. I only got into the provincial transportation school because I ranked second in our county's high school entrance exam. She taught Chinese for several years there. It's not that she's unsuitable to be Ms. Ye's assistant, but her current knowledge base isn't sufficient. She could enroll in a crash course in secretarial studies at Jiang University's adult education program, and then a Microsoft Office course. Even if Ms. Ye has a suitable candidate after graduation, our nanometer technology will still need such talent." Zhao Chang'an nodded and said, "You and Lin Xiaojie should discuss this."

Seeing that everyone was sitting firmly on the sofa, with not one of them saying that it was late and they should go to bed early, he could only say, "I see that apart from Qu Shuixian watching TV, aren't you all going to sleep?"

"We're planning on six beds, how should we allocate them?"

Chu Yun said with a smile, "Of the six of us, Qu Shuixian and Yu Ning are sleeping in 1.3-meter beds, He Cai and I are in 1.1-meter beds, and Tian Xue is in a bunk bed, with the lower bunk being 1.3 meters and the upper bunk only 1.1 meters. How should we arrange this?"

"Yu Ning, shall we squeeze in together?"

Zhao Chang'an asked Yu Ning with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ning's pretty face flushed red with laughter. She said to Zhao Chang'an, "Qu Shuixian is thinner than me. If anyone's going to squeeze in, it should be you, Mr. Zhao, squeezing in with her."

“The school has a hotel, and it’s not far away. Mr. Zhao, you’re driving.”

Qu Shuixian was not going to tolerate Zhao Chang'an.

Hearing this, Yu Ning smiled and secretly pinched Qu Shuixian's slender waist.

"That would be such a waste. Our company is still working hard to develop, so we need to learn to be thrifty."

Anyway, Zhao Chang'an is shameless, so he doesn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all when saying these shameless things.

Qu Shuixian was pinched by Yu Ning and knew that this was not her business. Anyway, Zhao Chang'an would not share a bed with either her or Yu Ning, so she simply shut up and ignored him.

"Mr. Zhao, you can sleep in my room. I originally left a bed in my bedroom for colleagues who might need it sometimes, so it's perfectly reasonable. I'll sleep on the top bunk."

Tian Xue said in a serious tone, as if she really would be sleeping on the top bunk, "You'll have to squeeze in tonight."

Lin Xiaojie stared at Tian Xue in surprise. Could it be that the three of them were sleeping in the same bedroom tonight?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Tian Xue is so beautiful, and Zhao Chang'an, that shameless guy, came over so late just because he's the boss and wants to take advantage of his female subordinate.

Tian Xue and Zhao Chang'an, a single man and woman, were sleeping in the same room. If Zhao Chang'an secretly climbed up to the upper bunk while Tian Xue was asleep at night, Tian Xue, being so thin, would definitely not be able to resist!
At this moment, Lin Xiaojie couldn't help but look down on Zhao Chang'an. She had once gone to Zhengzhou to visit Liu Shilin, and he had arranged for her to stay in the girls' dormitory at the school, sharing with his close female classmates.

She never had to worry about him touching her inappropriately, unlike Zhao Chang'an who was shameless and kept sneaking into the girls' dormitory.

Thinking of that ungrateful wretch, Lin Xiaojie couldn't help but think of the female classmate she had squeezed together with that night, who was plump and pretty.

Moreover, there was a computer in the dormitory, which cost more than 10,000 yuan. Lin Xiaojie felt a pang of pain in her heart, so painful that she could hardly breathe.

"Then it's settled, Chu Yun, let's go to sleep."

Tian Xue meant for Lin Xiaojie and Yu Ning to squeeze in, but before she could finish speaking, He Cai deliberately interrupted her, leaving her speechless.
