Chapter 853 - Who Is Plotting Against Them? (1)

Xu Dazhi?

He can’t be THAT Xu Dazhi, can he?

Zhuang Nainai was hoping that the new colleague was just someone with the same name as him. However, she saw Xu Dazhi’s big pockmarked face when he appeared in front of them.

Zhuang Nainai: “…”

Cheng Sizhe explained to Zhuang Nainai, “I have been trying to recruit new employees. We are a small-scale company, so the people that I hire must have prior work experience. But nowadays, people with prior work experience all demand high salaries. It’s not easy to meet someone who can design and is willing to receive a basic salary of $5000. Furthermore, I have already asked him. Xu Dazhi seems to be well-opinionated about design. So, Nainai, he is your first subordinate!”

Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”

Zhuang Nainai looked at Xu Dazhi. He still looked very shy. When she looked over, he immediately looked away, as if he did not dare to look her in the eye.

She really wanted to tell Cheng Sizhe that she didn’t need him and that the design department needed only her.

However, before she could say anything, Cheng Sizhe introduced another colleague in the blink of an eye, like he was performing some sort of magic. “Here, let me introduce him. He is Zhang Chenglin. He is the newly recruited Director of the sales department. He will be in charge of the company’s sales department from now on.”

Zhang Chenglin was a man in his thirties. He looked average. After hearing this, he immediately stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhuang Nainai before giggling. “Erm. Nice to meet you!”

After sharing small talk with each other, Cheng Sizhe asked Zhuang Nainai to bring Xu Dazhi to one side.

Their office was just one big common space. There were only a few people around, so the scale was small. Other than Cheng Sizhe, who had his own office, everyone worked in the common space.

Xu Dazhi lowered his head obediently and followed Zhuang Nainai.

Zhuang Nainai arrived at her desk and sat down. Then, she told Xu Dazhi, who looked troubled, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you here?”

Xu Dazhi was very timid. He did not dare to look up. With his head lowered, he said in a hoarse voice after a while, “I’m just here to work.”

Zhuang Nainai was so frustrated by him that she wanted to laugh. “To work? You just so happened to end up in the same company as me. Xu Dazhi, do you believe that this is just a coincidence?”

Xu Dazhi lowered his head immediately, becoming a mute again.

Zhuang Nainai more or less knew this person as she had interacted with him for more than a month.

It seemed like he always lowered his head because of the pockmarks on his face, so people could not get a clear look at his face often. He was very quiet but especially stubborn. Zhuang Nainai knew that she wouldn’t be able to convince him. She could not think of any solutions at the moment, so she just let him be.

But!

From now on, Zhuang Nainai had a subordinate that she could order around. Hence, Zhuang Nainai gave him his first task. “Get me a cup of coffee.”

Without hesitation, Xu Dazhi turned around and left silently. When he arrived at the cafe, he continued to sit in one corner silently, as if Zhuang Nainai had bullied him. Zhuang Nainai secretly felt guilty for a moment. However, in the end, she decided that she would let him off and not stoop to his level.

Finally, there were two more people in the office. They would have enough players for a game of mahjong. Of course, it was good to have dreams, but even if they had nothing to do, they could not possibly gather to play mahjong.

Just like that, more than ten days had passed. Zhang Chenglin brought good news. This could be considered the first order for the studio: A batch of cosplay costumes!
