The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.168 Could it be a lover? (5)

Wei Jianhua got up to see her off. Xiao Yu wanted to pay for the meal, but Wei Jianhua didn't agree. Xiao Yu didn't force it either. After calling a cab, she headed to the Ji Group.

When Ji Xuan came out from the meeting room, he said to Ban Zhenyu, "Really, young people nowadays. It's surprising that they can even invent a word like =33=."

Ban Zhenye agreed. "Indeed."

As if he'd found a fellow groupie, Ji Xuan said, "I think we should ban Xiao Yu from using this word."

Ban Zhenye then asked, "What if she's using it for President Ji?"

Ji Xuan paused for a moment. After some thought, he said, "Actually, this word isn't so bad."

Ban Zhenye, "..." He's hopeless.

Ji Xuan's phone rang in his pocket. After checking the caller ID, he picked up the call. "Hey, what is it now?"

Xiao Yu said, "Where are you? I'm coming up to see you."

Xiao Yu heard a thud on the other side, then Ji Xuan's slightly flustered voice came on. "What? To see me? What for?"

Xiao Yu said strangely, "To talk about Wei Jianhua! When is he coming for the interview, and what department? I'm going through the back door here! If we don't work out all the details, then will your company know which interviewee was introduced by me?"

Ji Xuan, "...Oh! Come up, then!"

Ban Zhenye looked at the trash cans that fell to the ground behind them, as well as the cleaners who were busy cleaning up. Then, he watched President Ji rub his knee, speechless.

"Is Miss Xiao coming?" Ban Zhenye asked.

Ji Xuan nodded and forced his face to look calm. "Go and lead her over."

Ji Xuan then went into his office and closed the door. Actually, the reason why Ji Xuan was so flustered was because of Xiao Yu's "honey" and "=33=", these two internet slang terms for flirting. But of course, it was undeniable that Ji Xuan himself had certain feelings for her, so Xiao Yu's teasing went right to his heart.

"President Ji, I brought Miss Xiao." Then, Ban Zhenyu opened the door and came in, followed by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was still dressed in her usual casual style today, but since it was cold out, she added a thick coat to it. Her cheeks were all red and her hair was a little messy from the wind.

She looked at Ji Xuan and said, "Have you eaten?"

Ji Xuan shook his head. Xiao Yu checked the time on her phone and said, "But it's almost 1 o'clock."

Ji Xuan nodded. After Xiao Yu sat down across from him, Ban Zhenyu said, "I'll go and buy lunch for President Ji."

Xiao Yu quickly said, "Buy me a portion as well!"

Ban Zhenyu, "You haven't eaten?"

"Nope!" Xiao Yu answered.

Ban Zhenyu, "..." Then what did you mean when you were looking at your phone earlier?

After Ban Zhenyu agreed speechlessly, she turned around and left.

Ji Xuan was also left speechless by Xiao Yu for a moment. Clearly, Xiao Yu herself wasn't aware of this. She immediately took out the Wei Jianhua’s resume from her bag. "Here, take a look. This guy is good at everything, and the best part? He's honest."

Ji Xuan accepted the papers and looked over them, saying, "Not bad."

"I heard you guys have a PR team as well?" Xiao Yu leaned closer and asked.

Ji Xuan nodded. "PR? We do. As long as they're famous, any people, businesses, and even organizations like the government and NGOs will have their own exclusive PR team."

Xiao Yu nodded. "I just knew the Ji Group had one. After all, it's a big company. I'm sure there are lots of things to hide from people."

Ji Xuan, "...What do you mean things to hide from people? What have you been learning in college? The purpose of the PR team is to improve the relationship between an employer and the public so that the community can better understand and support them. It helps to establish a good image to the outside world and helps the employer to disseminate information. This is similar to the way Chinese people talk about face. This should have been explained in marketing science! PR is only a tool used for companies to build public trust, and our reason for establishing it is for appropriate and legitimate uses."

Xiao Yu's mind was blank throughout his speech. "It's that complicated? Actually, instead of calling it understanding, it's more important to establish a good image to the outside world, right?"

Ji Xuan froze. After some thought, he said, "...Sort of."
