Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

Chapter 686 Hostility
Li Xiuyu learned the whole story from Li Zhuangsheng and did not raise any objections. The company did indeed need an administrative accountant to handle miscellaneous tasks, preferably someone who could also handle human resources.

As the president of the women's combat club, the fact that she was able to manage an all-female club so well before is enough to prove her ability. Moreover, her major is indeed suitable for administrative accounting.

However, Li Xiuyu had some doubts about Li Zhuangsheng's motives. She knew nothing about the former president's family background, but she could tell that the former president had a good impression of Li Zhuangsheng, and Li Zhuangsheng knew this as well.

Is this guy planning to recruit all the girls who like him into the company and turn it into his harem? That otaku fantasy is disgusting!
They arrived near the company without incident. Li Xiuyu was too lazy to get out of the car and simply sat inside waiting. Li Zhuangsheng pressed the fingerprint sensor on the side door and led the club president and senior student inside.

“Normally, people would have already left work by now, but some people will stay and volunteer to work overtime,” Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile. “Of course, there is overtime pay… but don’t worry, your job probably doesn’t require much overtime.”

"This is the new administrative accountant you were talking about?"

Bai Min, who was at her workstation, got up and walked over to the two people. She sized them up, thinking to herself that the person had a decent figure and appearance, and seemed to have a certain air about them. A slight displeasure crept into her heart.

"They haven't said yes yet," Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile. "Let me introduce you, senior. This is Bai Min, a year ahead of you, and she's the head of our art group. This is the president of our school's women's combat club, her name is... um, president, what's your name again?"

Halfway through his sentence, Li Zhuangsheng suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the other person's name.

The club president and senior student's lips twitched slightly. They thought to themselves, "We've known each other for so long, and we've even danced the waltz together. How come you don't even know my name?"
“Yi Xiaoqian,” she said.

"Oh, right, right, Senior Yi Xiaoqian!"

Li Zhuangsheng nodded repeatedly, as if he had just remembered; in fact, he had only found out today.

"Senior Bai Min, you can continue working, but don't work too hard. Go home when it's time to leave!" Li Zhuangsheng said.

"I'll fix the design on the cup a bit more. I'll be off work soon... Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged on overtime pay." Bai Min smiled and reached out to straighten Li Zhuangsheng's collar.

"How is overtime pay calculated here?"

Yi Xiaoqian frowned slightly. She wondered what was going on with Bai Min; were the two of them really that close?

“Huh? Well…” Li Zhuangsheng was taken aback for a moment, “It’s just a very ordinary calculation of each person’s salary as an hourly wage, and then overtime pay is calculated, usually double.”

"Is overtime on weekdays also paid at double the rate?"

"correct."

"So, who usually arranges overtime work?"

"Well... it's usually based on voluntariness, right?" Li Zhuangsheng blinked. "We've never forced anyone. If you want to work overtime, then stay and work overtime. As long as the task is completed, that's fine."

"Then who will keep track of everyone's overtime hours? What if someone doesn't need to work overtime but deliberately stays to collect overtime pay?"

“Um…we have three people in charge here, and at least one of them works overtime until the very end every day. They are responsible for keeping statistics, and Senior Bai Min is one of them…As for the last situation you mentioned, we haven’t encountered it yet.” Yi Xiaoqian took a deep breath: “In other words, you don’t have a very clear overtime system, right? There are many management loopholes.”

Li Zhuangsheng was a little embarrassed: "I guess so... Actually, I know about the problem you mentioned, but I've been quite busy, and nothing has gone wrong yet... Haha, but if you come, you can help us correct it!"

Bai Min frowned as she listened. Although she knew that the company's management was rather loose these days, it was not so easy to accept that this matter came from an outsider like Yi Xiaoqian.

Besides, this woman seems to know Li Zhuangsheng quite well, and she's pretty good-looking and has a great figure... Hu Mengdie is my good friend, I'll have to keep an eye on you for her!

But she didn't say anything in front of Li Zhuangsheng.

"If you come, this will be your office; no one uses it normally."

Li Zhuangsheng showed Yi Xiaoqian the small office next to his own office. She looked around and nodded.

"Would you like to learn more about the animation production process?" Li Zhuangsheng asked, tilting his head.

“No need…” Yi Xiaoqian glanced at Li Zhuangsheng with a strange look in her eyes, “I didn’t expect your family to be so rich.”

"It's alright, nothing special. So, what do you think? Want to come?"

"Alright then." Yi Xiaoqian agreed, feeling inexplicably upset. She thought to herself that he was only in college and yet he had the ability to set up such an animation studio, so his family must be quite wealthy... Originally, she just thought he was generous and would bring bottled water to the studio, so she assumed his family was well-off, but she never expected him to be this rich.

Indeed, only a girl like Zhu Zhixue, with her top-notch looks and figure, is worthy of him.

But this Bai Min is really annoying; she looks like a green tea bitch, and she even straightened his clothes. Did she get this position as art group leader through legitimate channels?

Pah! You're obviously not serious! Let me tell you, don't ever get into my hands again!
Seeing that an agreement had finally been reached, Li Zhuangsheng happily drove Yi Xiaoqian back to school. Along the way, he comforted her, telling her not to feel too burdened, that many people in the company were new and inexperienced, but possessed solid basic skills. Making mistakes was okay; he could bear the costs of trial and error.

Two days later, before the National Day holiday, Li Zhuangsheng introduced Yi Xiaoqian to everyone in the studio, and Yi Xiaoqian immediately threw herself into her work.

She drafted the company's performance evaluation system. After Li Zhuangsheng reviewed it, he called Rong Hongguang and two others to a meeting to confirm that it was correct before bringing it up in the company meeting.

With Yi Xiaoqian by his side, Li Zhuangsheng's workload was suddenly reduced to the point where he had nothing to do. With her boundless energy, she not only did her original job but also helped with miscellaneous tasks such as operations.

During the National Day holiday, Li Zhuangsheng did not go home but stayed in Nanjing. He and Zhu Zhixue spent two days in Nanjing, played games with Yi Yunshui for a day, and finally strolled around Confucius Temple with Lin Yuehua, who had returned to Nanjing earlier.

He also tried to ask Hu Mengdie out, but she ignored him. The two would meet at the company sometimes, so Li Zhuangsheng didn't pay too much attention to it. He just had a meal with Xie Jiangqing, and then inevitably got a veiled insult.

Like Yao Xingyu, Xie Jiangqing and Yao Xingyu liked to chat with him whenever they had free time, and in the process, they would urge him to "pull back from the brink" and "repent." Even though they knew it was impossible, they persisted.
