After Kou Kou came back, the onboarding process went extremely smoothly — so smoothly that even Liu Mei realized she had misunderstood something earlier.
"Come on, Miss Bai, Miss Tang, let me take you to change into your uniforms." After finishing the onboarding procedures for Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke, the two of them got their temporary employee badges. The official staff badges printed with their photos would take a day or two to be ready.
"This way to the changing room."
Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke quickly changed into their uniforms after picking them up.
"Wow, this fits perfectly!" Tang Keke said in surprise. She found the uniform didn't feel tight across the chest at all, and it wasn't baggy either — it was so tailored and form-fitting that it looked like it was custom-made for her.
Bai Yuyou had also finished changing. Her uniform was a relatively simple, understated style, but it was also nicely fitted, with dimensions that were just right.
"Ye Shuang provided all the measurements," Kou Kou explained with a soft smile.
As for why President Ye knew the measurements of the two young girls, that was none of her business as a little assistant. She knew better than to dig into that kind of thing, lest she stir up trouble for herself.
After all, she knew very well how formidable Ye Shuang was. There were even employees he had never met before that he could fire just based on a few words, letting them leave with their compensation without any unnecessary fuss.
"Miss Bai, Miss Tang, which department would you like to join?"
Tang Keke looked a little curious. "Huh? We get to choose?"
"Yes," Kou Kou smiled. "Since this is mostly an internship experience, President Ye gave instructions that you can try out any department you want."
"I'd like to go into human resources," Bai Yuyou said at that moment.
"Alright, I'll arrange that right away."
After making a brief preparation, Kou Kou led Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke toward the human resources department. It was a large department that was broken down into more than a dozen specialized teams.
But just then, Bai Yuyou seemed to notice something and let out a small gasp.
Tang Keke saw the look on Bai Yuyou's face and followed the girl's line of sight — a burly man was talking to someone from the HR department, and his face was very familiar to both Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou.
It was Chen Hai.
Only Chen Hai had lost dozens of pounds. Even though his appearance after losing weight wasn't drastically different from before, his energy and demeanor were completely different. He looked much more mature, and also a lot more weathered.
Chen Hai was still chatting with the person in front of him, and as if sensing their gaze, he turned his head casually and caught sight of the familiar figures not far away. At first, he didn't pay much attention because they were wearing company uniforms, but the familiar faces made him look over a second time.
"Huh? You two..." Chen Hai was also a little surprised to see Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou here. He said a quick word to the person he was talking to, then walked over to Bai Yuyou and the others.
"Did you two come here to find Ye Shuang?"
"Wait, why are you wearing our company's uniforms, and you have employee badges on?" Chen Hai noticed the badges on Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke, and he seemed to figure it out. "Oh right, you graduated, didn't you?"
"We're only juniors-to-be, we're here for a summer internship," Tang Keke said immediately, and Bai Yuyou nodded in agreement.
"A summer internship... that makes sense. It's great for sophomores and juniors to come do internships during the break. That way you'll already have one or two years of work experience by the time you graduate," Chen Hai said. After all, many HR recruiters nowadays prefer new graduates who already have plenty of work experience.
"Where's Ye Shuang?"
"No idea."
"Alright, you two go have fun, I've got a lot of work to get back to." Chen Hai chatted briefly with Bai Yuyou and the others, then turned and left.
"Wow, Brother Chen Hai looks so different when he's at work," Tang Keke said.
"Different how?" Bai Yuyou turned to ask her.
"His tone is different," Tang Keke said. "I thought he'd say something like 'Yo, Little Yuyou and Big Lailei, what are you two doing hanging around here?'"
"Yeah, that's true," Bai Yuyou said. She imagined that scene, and it did seem like something he would have said before.
After that little interlude, Kou Kou led the two girls to their workstations. Everyone there looked extremely busy. Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke glanced at each other, and found their seats right next to each other.
"What do we need to do?" Tang Keke asked.
"Start off with some simple tasks," Kou Kou said as she scanned the area, finally spotting the team lead of their group. "Hey, handsome, come over here for a second."
The man who was busy at his workstation looked up when he heard his name called. Even though he was a little annoyed, he still stood up and walked over. "What is it?"
"You're the team lead of Group B3, right?"
"Yes, and you are..." The man's eyes fell on Kou Kou's badge, and his eyes widened — Assistant to the CEO, COCO.
Oh, this was the assistant to that man.
The man's attitude softened immediately. "Miss Kou Kou, what can I do for you?"
"These two are new campus recruits, here for their summer internship," Kou Kou explained briefly.
Interns? The man froze. There weren't supposed to be any campus interns right now. The first batch of interns wasn't even due to arrive for another half month. He quickly lowered his voice. "These two girls, are they...?"
He didn't dare say the rest, and just pointed a finger upward toward the top floors.
Kou Kou didn't say anything explicit, just gave him a meaningful look. "Treat them like regular interns. Remember, normal treatment, just do everything the way you normally would."
After all, Ye Shuang had given orders that they were to be treated normally.
"Absolutely normal, you got it!"
"Alright, I'm heading out now, I still have documents to sort through." Kou Kou wasn't exactly free either. She said a quick goodbye to Bai Yuyou and the others after giving the team lead his instructions, then left.
After Kou Kou was gone, the man looked over at Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke. He couldn't help but notice how strikingly beautiful Bai Yuyou was, and the girl next to her, while a little less conventionally eye-catching, had other features that more than made up for it.
"Ahem, right, I'm your team lead, my name is Ted," the man said. "If either of you runs into any problems, you can come find me anytime. Our team is happy to have you as interns."
"My name is Tang Keke."
"Bai Yuyou." After the two young girls introduced themselves, Tang Keke asked, "What can we do to help out?"
"Uh, you two..." Ted hesitated. Actually, his team was short-staffed and swamped with piled-up work, but the problem was that these two were clearly no ordinary people.
"Nah, it's fine, you two can just take a seat and relax for now."
"Just sit around?" Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou exchanged a confused glance. What kind of job was that?

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos.
