After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Miss Guan has arrived: [My dear, I think I'm being ostracized by your brother and the younger female student.]

Pei Xinyao: [We're in the same boat. He doesn't reply to my WeChat messages anymore.]

Miss Guan has arrived: [But he was constantly chatting with his junior on WeChat.]

Pei Xinyao: [? Weren't the three of you in the same car? You were chatting on your phones in the car?]

Miss Guan: [Yeah. It's so obvious, their phones kept vibrating. The junior was even laughing.]

Pei Xinyao: [You're so pitiful! By the way, why did your junior go on the interview with you? You two aren't even in the same department, are you?]

Miss Guan: [Who knows? The teacher asked me to mentor her and even gave her two interview questions.]

Pei Xinyao: [Why does this sound like a senior mentoring a newcomer?]

Miss Guan: [This senior is being ostracized by the newbies, I'm so angry!]

Pei Xinyao: [Hugs. The new bride is just so beautiful, even my brother can't escape the trend. I used to think he liked very individualistic girls, but it turns out men's tastes are all the same—they only love innocent, pure girls.]

Miss Guan: [So, does this mean I have absolutely no chance?]

Pei Xinyao: [You haven't given up yet?]

Miss Guan: [What you can't have always seems more alluring... I'm so unwilling to accept this!!! This kind of thing, "Your Brother is So Delicious," is incredibly addictive!!!]

Pei Xinyao: [Then you should keep waiting. Your first love will most likely end badly. Besides, my aunt and uncle won't be easy to get through. They seem very open-minded and easy-going, but they're actually incredibly picky. My junior's family seems to be quite ordinary. It's hard to say whether she'll meet my aunt and uncle's standards. They probably prefer a daughter-in-law who is of equal social standing...]

……

The car was parked downstairs at Xingque Technology Building.

Lin Xuechun got out of the car with Guan Ying.

Xi Chenzhou continued to take a taxi to the next location. He had arranged to meet his father today to discuss the project. On the way, he called Shen Yu and reminded him to bring all the necessary documents.

After what happened in the car, Lin Xuechun and Guan Ying remained silent, neither of them taking the initiative to speak.

Guan Ying felt a little resentful when she thought of what Pei Xinyao had said about the new nurse.

Why should she be the one to bring Lin Xuechun?

This isn't a company job, and the school doesn't pay her a salary, so she has no obligation to mentor newcomers.

Adding to the fact that she was deleted from WeChat last night, she was far from as calm and composed as she appeared.

All emotions urgently need an outlet at this moment.

Guan Ying took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to the teacher in her department.

[Teacher, I'm suddenly feeling a bit unwell and probably won't be able to do the interview today. I've already gone over the outline with Lin, is it okay if she goes by herself today?]

I thought the teacher would be very anxious, but to my surprise, the other end was very quick: "Okay, you hand it over to Lin."

Guan Ying was a little puzzled.

Song Zhixing is a big shot, so the school should be taking him very seriously. Why does the teacher seem so casual?

It's as if this interview doesn't even need to happen.

Guan Ying didn't have time to think it through; the elevator was already almost at the Star Palace floor.

She frowned and said to Lin Xuechun in a very anxious tone, "Junior, something came up, so you'll have to go to the interview by yourself today. I've already spoken to the teacher."

"The interview is very simple. Just ask the questions according to the outline. This is a voice recorder. Press the button to record."

"But senior—" Lin Xuechun had just opened her mouth when the elevator doors opened to both sides.

Song Zhixing's assistant was already waiting at the elevator entrance. Upon seeing the two, he smiled and went up to greet them. Guan Ying ignored Lin Xuechun, stepped out of the elevator first, exchanged a few pleasantries with the assistant, introduced Lin Xuechun to the assistant, and then took the elevator away.

Lin Xuechun looked at her assistant, completely bewildered.

She never expected that Guan Ying would suddenly have to leave.

She had absolutely no interviewing experience before, and only received the assignment last night. She didn't have much time to prepare. How could the teacher let her go alone?

What if I mess it up?

"Ms. Lin, this way please." The assistant led the way.

Lin Xuechun snapped out of her daze and followed her assistant, her heart pounding with panic. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her eyes wide open, brimming with tears.

"Ms. Lin, please don't be nervous. Our CEO, Mr. Song, is very easygoing."

Are we just going to go in like this?

Just thinking about facing a stranger alone and having to chat with them made Lin Xuechun feel a little breathless even before she went inside.

I feel like there are bugs crawling on my skin, and I also feel an intense urge to urinate.

Medical explanations suggest this condition is a typical case of anxiety disorder.

"Can I go to the restroom?" Lin Xuechun called out to her assistant, wanting to compose herself first.

Her assistant gave her directions: "Sure, the restroom is over there. I'll wait for you here."

Lin Xuechun followed the direction her assistant pointed and went into the restroom. There was no one in any of the stalls, so she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out her phone to make a voice call to Xi Chenzhou.

I don't know why, but he was the first person I thought of asking for help in this situation.

The call was answered quickly.

Xi Chenzhou's deep, resonant voice, with its crisp quality, came through the receiver: "Baby?"

"Xi, Xi Chenzhou..."

Lin Xuechun gripped her phone tightly and called out softly.

Xi Chenzhou immediately noticed something was wrong with her. "What's wrong, baby? Where are you? Did something happen?"

Lin Xuechun sniffed, her voice sounding aggrieved: "I...I'm in the Xingque restroom. What should I do, Xi Chenzhou? I'm so nervous. We're about to go in for the interview, but my senior had to leave. Now I'm all alone. I'm afraid I'll mess it up..."

Hearing her voice, which sounded like she was about to cry, Xi Chenzhou's heart clenched. He quickly reassured her, "It's okay, baby, don't be afraid. Do you have your Bluetooth earphones with you?"

"Yes, I brought it."

"Take it out now and connect it to your phone, wearing only one."

Lin Xuechun placed her phone by the sink, took off her bag from her shoulder, found her earphones, put them on, and connected them via Bluetooth.

"alright."

Xi Chenzhou: "Okay, now let your hair down to cover your headphones and tidy yourself up in front of the mirror."

His voice was calm, and he directed the operation methodically.

Lin Xuechun was so nervous that she could hardly breathe, but listening to him speak, her breathing calmed down.

It's like finding a pillar of support.

She did as he said.

"Are you all ready, baby?" This time, Xi Chenzhou's voice came through the Bluetooth headset.

Lin Xuechun hummed in agreement.

Xi Chenzhou: "Okay, baby, listen to me. During the interview, don't hang up. Stay connected with me, keep your speakerphone on, and I'll type anything to you if you have any questions, understand?"

"Understood." Lin Xuechun nodded.

"Okay. Now let me demonstrate with you," Xi Chenzhou guided her, "When you go in, say 'Hello, Mr. Song, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be interviewed by us. Let's not take up any more of your time, let's get started...'"

Lin Xuechun repeated his words, and Xi Chenzhou praised her, "Baby, you're great, your voice is so beautiful."

Is this the key point?

Lin Xuechun's cheeks flushed slightly. "And then?"

Xi Chenzhou chuckled on the other end: "Ask him the questions in the outline one by one. Listen attentively as he answers, occasionally furrowing your brow as if you're thinking, and then nodding in agreement. You're a student doing interviews, not an industry media outlet, so Song Zhixing won't be discussing anything too in-depth. You don't need to worry about not being able to keep up with him."

His analysis relieved Lin Xuechun's tension considerably, and the intense urge to urinate disappeared.

She let out a soft breath.

Xi Chenzhou: "Are you feeling better, baby? Are you still nervous?"

Lin Xuechun: "Much better."

"Baby, it's just an interview. It's okay even if you mess it up," Xi Chenzhou said in a low voice, with a reassuring strength. "I'll always be here for you."

"Mm." With his encouragement, Lin Xuechun felt much more at ease.

She tidied her hair in front of the mirror, took a few deep breaths, and walked out of the bathroom.
