The Newly Hired Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke

But in the end, Bai Yuyou did not become an assistant. After all, Ye Shuang had already said that the position was fully staffed. Besides, with An Shiyu and the others gathered together, there was practically nothing for her to do.

Bai Yuyou could only sit obediently to one side like a mascot, spacing out and killing time. She would not be learning anything at all. And if she joined the group in the future, it was unlikely that she would merely become Ye Shuang’s assistant.

After hearing Ye Shuang’s analysis, Bai Yuyou still very much wanted to stay by his side, but she ultimately chose to start with the group’s basic work, just like Keke. She did not want to disappoint Ye Shuang. She only hoped that one day, she would truly be able to help him.

“Let’s start with something simple,” Ye Shuang said with a smile. “There’s still quite some time before graduation, so there’s no need to rush. Take it slowly.”

For some reason, he felt a little emotional. Before he knew it, this girl was about to start working and enter society. It seemed like she had not known how to do anything before, yet now she was gradually showing a dependable side.

Time really could change many people and many things.

Even—

The relationships between people could become completely different as well.

“Leave the rest to me.”

Since the two girls had chosen to use their summer vacation to gain experience through internships, Ye Shuang began arranging suitable positions for them. Working at the group also required proper professional attire, so he prepared their outfits in advance to make sure neither girl forgot.

…

A few days later.

At the first floor of the Chen Group, Ye Shuang appeared with Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke. Although it was not the girls’ first time there, they still looked around curiously at the employees coming and going.

“President Ye.” Kou Kou was standing to one side as well. To her, Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke were already extremely familiar girls, and they were also very important to Ye Shuang.

“From today onward, Yuyou and Keke will be joining our group as interns,” Ye Shuang said. “As for their positions and salaries, take them around and explain everything. Teach them whatever they don’t understand. Take them to change first.”

“Of course, President Ye. Miss Bai, Miss Tang, please follow me.”

Just as Kou Kou finished speaking, Bai Yuyou glanced at Ye Shuang.

“Go on,” Ye Shuang said with a faint smile. “Good luck.”

Bai Yuyou nodded obediently.

After watching Kou Kou lead the two girls away, Ye Shuang glanced at his watch before turning toward the entrance. He had work outside today and needed to travel abroad with Chen Qin to negotiate a partnership. That meant he could only leave the company matters to Kou Kou and have her guide Yuyou and Keke through everything.

Meanwhile, Kou Kou took Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke into an elevator. They still needed to discuss matters such as their salaries and benefits. Even though they had been brought in by Ye Shuang, they still had to go through the proper procedures.

“Do we have to attend an interview?” Tang Keke asked curiously. “Will it be difficult?”

“Difficult?” Kou Kou was stunned. What could possibly be difficult about it? These two had been brought in by President Ye. They did not even need an offer letter.

She smiled and said, “Everything will go smoothly. Don’t worry.”

At that moment, Keke said to Bai Yuyou, “Yuyou, do you know what to do during the interview? If you see a crumpled ball of paper on the floor, remember to pick it up.”

Bai Yuyou tilted her head.

“Huh?”

Were they interviewing for a janitor’s position?

Soon, Kou Kou led Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke into an office. Before long, a woman walked in.

“Kou Kou, they are…”

“Interns recruited through campus hiring,” Kou Kou said.

“It’s not campus recruitment season yet…” Before the woman could finish, Kou Kou added, “They’re President Ye’s family. You figure it out.”

The woman froze, her eyes widening slightly.

President Ye? How many President Yes could there be in this group?

And wasn’t the only President Ye Kou Kou followed that man?

“Ah, I forgot to get President Ye’s contract. You handle their onboarding first.”

“Huh?”

After Kou Kou hurried away, only the woman, Bai Yuyou, and Keke remained, staring at one another.

“Er… Let me introduce myself first. I’m the head of human resources. You can call me… Xiao Liu.”

Xiao… Liu?

Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou exchanged a glance. Wasn’t that an unusually young-sounding nickname? The woman in front of them looked to be well over forty.

“Sister Liu,” Keke said immediately.

Bai Yuyou, meanwhile, was still looking down and searching the floor for a crumpled ball of paper. After hearing Keke, she also followed suit and called out, “Sister Liu.”

Under normal circumstances, there would have been nothing wrong with two young girls calling Liu Mei “Sister Liu.” The problem was that these two girls belonged to the living King of Hell.

That single “Sister Liu” left Liu Mei feeling weak in the knees.

“Ahem… Well, ladies, let’s discuss your salary and onboarding procedures.”

“Oh, all right.”

Liu Mei took out a document. “Our company generally pays campus-recruited interns eight thousand yuan a month. You’ll work five days and have two days off, receive a two-thousand-yuan housing allowance, and get four meals a day free of charge.”

When Tang Keke heard that interns earned eight thousand yuan a month, she was stunned.

Bai Yuyou was still looking down at the floor to see whether there were any crumpled balls of paper. For a moment, neither girl said anything.

“Hiss…” Seeing that neither of them responded, Liu Mei seemed to realize something and immediately said, “Th-That was a mistake. Actually, the monthly salary is ten thousand yuan. What do you two think?”

“We’re students,” Tang Keke said at once.

Bai Yuyou also raised her head.

“You’re students…” Liu Mei’s mind began racing.

What did that mean? Was it still not enough?

If someone else had told her they were a student, she probably would have said that even their birth was not enough to qualify.

But these two young ladies were different.

I’ve been walking on thin ice my entire life. I absolutely cannot ruin myself here.

Liu Mei thought anxiously.

“How much do you two want? We can work something out,” she said.

“No, no, eight thousand is fine,” Tang Keke quickly replied. She had realized that, because of Ye Shuang, the HR manager was treating them exceptionally generously.

“Hm?”

What did she mean? Was she dissatisfied with her offer?

She had dared to offer eight thousand, thinking that would be enough to send beggars away?

A thousand little dramas had already begun playing out in Liu Mei’s mind. She had even imagined the two girls gossiping about her with that man.

“Oh, are you still not finished?” Kou Kou returned at that moment. Seeing Liu Mei sitting restlessly, she was taken aback. “You’re not actually conducting an interview, are you?”

“I’m not!” Liu Mei shot to her feet. “It’s just that we haven’t finished discussing the salary yet. Kou Kou, I’ll leave this to you!”

“Huh? I’m only an assistant!”

“That’s fine! I’ll assist you!” Liu Mei grabbed Kou Kou by the arm. “My career is in your hands.”

Kou Kou: “?”

What was going on? It wasn’t even her onboarding.
