Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 60 plays on contrast again.

"Alright, I'm done talking to her."

Zhang Jiani hung up the phone and gave Xu Jingxing an OK sign.

"Is the person you're talking about the girl we met on the train before?"

Xu Jingxing thought about it carefully.

Uh......

The image is indeed a bit blurry, but I have a very strong impression of her two pairs of headlights.

"Are you still in contact?" Xu Jingxing asked.

"Of course, we even had dinner together a couple of days ago."

"What's her name again, Gu Ailing?"

Xu Jingxing only remembered the surname Gu; as for the given name, that was the only one he could recall.

"Her name is Gu Ling! She's a top student from Central South University."

As they talked, Zhang Jiani took Xu Jingxing's clothes out of his backpack and hung them in the closet one by one.

"What is this?"

Zhang Jiani found a beautifully wrapped gift box in her bag.

"Let's open it and take a look." Xu Jingxing got up from the bed and came to Zhang Jiani's side.

Upon opening the packaging, a pure white bottle of perfume comes into view.

"what!"

Zhang Jiani let out a surprised scream.

"Silver Mountain Spring!"

Do you like it?

"like!"

"Let me spray some on for you, try the scent."

"good!"

Zhang Jiani closed her eyes.

A moment later, a hint of fruity fragrance filled the air.

"I love this flavor."

"Then take a look at your left wrist."

When Zhang Jiani raised her left hand, she realized that a pure gold bracelet had appeared on it at some point.

"this......"

Zhang Jiani stared in disbelief at the bracelet on her wrist. "When did you put it on?"

"Just now, when you closed your eyes."

Zhang Jiani touched the pendant that Xu Jingxing had once given her around her neck, then took off her bracelet and placed it in Xu Jingxing's hand.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Zhang Jiani bit her lip. "Besides, I already took your...your money."

"Nini, a gift is a gift, and money is money."

Xu Jingxing put the bracelet back on Zhang Jiani's wrist. "See, it suits you so well. When I chose it, I was only thinking about how you would look wearing it."

"As for that money... if you feel it's a thorn in your side, then let's forget about it for now."

"Or, you can repay me in any way that you feel comfortable with, even if it takes a lifetime to repay me slowly."

Xu Jingxing said gently.

After saying this, Xu Jingxing himself felt a little sour.

"For a lifetime?" Zhang Jiani murmured.

Then, her tense shoulders, which had been trying to bear everything alone, finally relaxed little by little under Xu Jingxing's gentle yet firm gaze.

She closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Okay..." Zhang Jiani only said one word.

Then she continued packing Xu Jingxing's luggage.

Sure enough, women who haven't yet been poisoned by Little Red Book are able to spot the key points in the conversation.

If this were twenty years from now, people would definitely say something like,

"You think you can buy my whole life for ten thousand yuan?"

We mean the same thing!

......

The next day, after Zhang Jiani finished rehearsing, the two went to a teahouse together, ordered some tea and fruit, and waited for Gu Ling.

At 10 o'clock sharp, Gu Ling walked in carrying a large backpack.

He wore his familiar plaid shirt with jeans and large black-rimmed glasses, still looking as refined as ever.

"Sister Lingling! Over here!"

When Zhang Jiani saw Gu Ling, she waved to her excitedly.

Upon seeing the two, Gu Ling blushed, gripped her backpack tightly, and walked over.

"Hello." As she approached the two, Gu Ling adjusted her glasses. "It's been a long time."

"Long time no see?" Zhang Jiani poured Gu Ling a cup of tea and said helplessly, "Sister Lingling, we just saw each other a couple of days ago."

"Ah! Right!" Gu Ling's face turned even redder. He looked at Xu Jingxing and changed his words, "Hello! Long time no see!"

It feels like she's following a specific procedure when she greets people.

After greeting Gu Ling, Xu Jingxing took out his phone, edited a message, and sent it to Zhang Jiani.

Are you sure she can do it?

You must trust China's exam-oriented education system!

Uh......

Hearing this, Xu Jingxing was even less convinced.

"Sister Gu, Jia Ni has already told you about my situation, right?" Xu Jingxing sighed and asked.

Gu Ling acted as if she hadn't heard anything, sitting there motionless, muttering to herself as if reviewing the greeting process.

"Sister Lingling?"

Zhang Jiani nudged Gu Ling's arm.

"Huh?" Gu Ling looked completely bewildered.

"Jingxing is talking to you."

"Oh, so you were calling me." Gu Ling realized belatedly. "This is the first time someone has called me that."

Xu Jingxing: "..."

There were three people in total, and she was the only one with the surname Gu. Who else could we call if not her?

"Sister Lingling, do you understand everything I told you on the phone?" Zhang Jiani asked.

"Mmm!" Gu Ling nodded. "I understand."

Then, Gu Ling looked at the two of them and asked timidly, "So, are we starting the interview now?"

"Uh, I guess so."

"OK."

After saying that, Gu Ling opened her backpack and took out a thick stack of certificates.

"Good morning/afternoon, leaders."

Gu Ling cleared her throat and continued:

"My name is Gu Ling, I am 26 years old, I graduated from Southwest University of Political Science and Law with a bachelor's degree and from the Department of Law of Central South University with a master's degree. I am very honored to be here today for this job application..."

Gu Ling paused for a moment, then asked Xu Jingxing, "What's the name of our company?"

Xu Jingxing: "..."

Zhang Jiani quickly said, "Sister Lingling, we asked you for help in setting up a studio."

Gu Ling blushed and quickly picked up the stack of certificates in front of her, spreading them out one by one in front of the two of them. "During my university years, I systematically built a knowledge system of civil and commercial law, criminal law and administrative law, and passed the national unified legal professional qualification examination."

"I choose your firm..." Gu Ling looked up at Xu Jingxing, "I'm sorry, but I chose to join your team because I've long admired your outstanding performance and industry reputation, especially..."

Gu Ling was caught off guard; her prepared remarks seemed unsuitable for the current situation.

Xu Jingxing: "..."

He looked at Zhang Jiani, and his meaning couldn't be clearer.

See? This is China's exam-oriented education system.

"Um, Sister Lingling," Zhang Jiani quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Why don't you tell me what you need to do to set up your own studio, and what you should be aware of?"

"Ah, okay."

Gu Ling adjusted her glasses, carefully put away her stack of certificates, took a sip of tea, and replied:

"My personal suggestion is to first set up a personal studio as a sole proprietorship. The registration process is simple, the tax procedures are relatively simple, and of course, the operating costs will be lower."

"And also, the core legal documents..."

Xu Jingxing and Zhang Jiani couldn't help but open their mouths wide as they watched Gu Ling talking eloquently.

Is this the same girl who blushed and even stuttered a little when she spoke?

It's like he's become a completely different person.

Why are you using that contrasting approach again?

Five minutes later, Xu Jingxing promptly stopped Gu Ling, who was still explaining the relevant laws and policies to him.

He really couldn't understand this stuff either.

He glanced at Zhang Jiani, his eyes showing approval, then extended his hand to Gu Ling.

"Next, let's talk about salary."
