His voice was extremely pleasant. Every word seemed to carry a sizzling current, making Jian Yan's heart tingle with numbness when they fell.

  She didn't pay any attention to what he had said at all. At that moment, she was simply fascinated by his sexy voice and wanted to hear him say more.

  However, as soon as the man finished speaking, he turned around and left. It was at this moment that Jian Yan came to her senses. Goodness! What had she been thinking just now? Why did she seem like a pervert!

  While she was feeling annoyed with herself, the whispers of two salesgirls accidentally reached her ears.

  "Ah, Manager He is back?"

  "Great! Now I have the motivation to go to work every day again!"

  "… Isn't your motivation for work supposed to be the salary?"

  "How can such a superficial thing be compared with Manager He's good looks?"

  Jian Yan's eyes flickered slightly. Was that person just now… the renowned Mr. He, the eldest son?

  "Um, could you please help me take a look at how this dress is?"

  A girl's voice came from the left. Jian Yan turned her head and took a look. It was a very young girl. She should have just graduated and started working. She was wearing a new knitted sweater, which was sold at 468 yuan.

  Although she was just an ordinary customer, Jian Yan treated all customers equally. She smiled at the girl and said to her, "It's really nice. The thick knitted sweater is a trendy item for autumn and winter, and white goes well with many things. You can match it in a lot of different styles."

  The girl looked very happy after hearing her words. "I think so too."

  Jian Yan looked at her again and said, "But this outfit still lacks a bit of sparkle. Wait a moment." As she spoke, Jian Yan walked to the counter in front, and brought back a yellow printed silk scarf. "The silk scarf is one of the essential accessories for this autumn and winter. Adding a little detail can make a big difference."

  As she spoke, she helped the girl tie the silk scarf around her neck, then stepped aside to make it convenient for her to look in the mirror. "How is it?"

  "It looks great." The girl touched the knot of the silk scarf and looked up at Jian Yan. "How did you tie it so beautifully? I also bought a silk scarf before, but I couldn't tie it well, so I just left it idle at home."

  Jian Yan said, "Just practice more. Practice makes perfect."

  "Could you please teach me?"

  "Sure."

  The team leader watched as Jian Yan taught the customer how to tie the silk scarf and nodded in satisfaction. This new employee was not bad.

  At this time, He Xiu was also sitting in the office looking at Jian Yan's resume. Work experience… Freelance. He smiled slightly and put her resume on the table.

  A top graduate in fashion design, she was also very pretty, and her family situation seemed to be quite good—although the clothes she was wearing were not luxury brands, they were not cheap either. Why would such a person come to the mall to sell clothes?

  He Xiu tapped his slender fingers twice on the tabletop, and his gaze fell back on Jian Yan's resume. Although it seemed that she wouldn't stay for long, still, she was quite interesting.

  He dialed Zhou Wenwen's internal line and said to her, "Let the friend you recommended stay in the Dream Wardrobe."

  "Okay, Manager He."

  After Zhou Wenwen hung up the phone, she told Jian Yan the good news.

  In the blink of an eye, it was half past eleven at noon, and the first batch of employees started having lunch. Since Jian Yan was new, the team leader specifically found an old employee to take her to the cafeteria. The cafeteria of Xingguang Department Store was already quite good compared to various staff canteens, but the communal food in the cafeteria definitely couldn't compare to the home-cooked dishes. After having a meal, Jian Yan decided to bring her own food to work tomorrow.

  The work in the afternoon went smoothly. Jian Yan had always liked dealing with clothes. When she saw a customer coming out of the fitting room wearing beautiful clothes, she would feel happy too. Although the team leader said that she could get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon, as a workaholic, not working overtime was unqualified.

  Jian Yan didn't leave the sales area until a little past five forty.

  On her way home, she passed by a small store. She drove over, rolled down the car window and said to the shop owner, "A bowl of hot and sour noodles, with more chili peppers and pea tips."

  "Sure thing!"

  Jian Yan was a regular customer of this store, and the shop owner knew her taste quite well. However, pea tips were expensive. Although the shop owner put a little more for her, it was just a few more pieces. Looking at the sparse pea tips in the bowl, Jian Yan raised her eyebrows and handed the money to the shop owner.

  There were still some pea tips left at home, and she could blanch them herself when she got back.

  Carrying the fragrant hot and sour noodles back home, as soon as Jian Yan opened the door, she saw Lin Zhen's high-heeled shoes. Lin Zhen had the key to her house, but since she didn't have any manuscripts to submit at the moment, what was she doing here?

  "You're back?" Lin Zhen's voice drifted over from the living room. "Did you buy hot and sour noodles? I can smell the aroma!"

  Jian Yan changed into slippers and walked inside. "Yes, I did, but I only bought a bowl for myself."

  "Tsk, so stingy."

  Jian Yan put the bowl on the table and asked her, "What are you here for? I've already submitted all my manuscripts."

  Lin Zhen said, "Do I have to come for the manuscripts? I can also… come to mooch off your food and drinks!"

  As she spoke, she quickly reached out her hand towards the hot and sour noodles on the table, but was slapped away by Jian Yan. "Ms. Lin, aren't you ashamed to snatch the food from your employee?"

  Lin Zhen said calmly, "I'm not ashamed at all."

  Jian Yan clicked her tongue and directly sat down on the sofa to start eating, not even bothering to blanch the pea tips.

  Lin Zhen was indignant and ordered a takeout on the app, deciding not to let her have any later. "By the way, where did you go? You didn't really go to sell clothes, did you?"

  With hot and sour noodles in her mouth, Jian Yan looked at her with her big eyes and nodded. "Yeah."

  "…" Lin Zhen was silent for a moment. "Holy shit, you're serious?"

  "I'm always serious."

  "…" Lin Zhen fell into a long silence.

  Jian Yan swallowed the hot and sour noodles and said to her with relish, "On my first day of work today, I sold more than 60,000 yuan worth of clothes. Thinking about the commission, I can have another bowl of hot and sour noodles."

  Lin Zhen really wanted to mock her, but was still stunned by her sales figure. "You sold more than 60,000 yuan worth of clothes??"

  "Yeah, I met a big customer. I was lucky." Jian Yan happily picked up a chopstick full of pea tips. "Oh, and I also saw Mr. He, the eldest son."

  "Fuck!" Lin Zhen was simply furious and couldn't stand it at all! "I want to sell clothes too!"

  "You can go buy clothes. If you're lucky, you might run into him."

  "Mr. He doesn't stroll around the sales area every day. By the way, what does he look like in person? Is he really handsome?"

  "He's okay. His voice is quite nice."

  Lin Zhen silently despised her with her mouth and opened the computer in front of her. "Speaking of voices, there's a singing event tonight. I almost forgot about it."

  Jian Yan twitched the corner of her mouth and gave her a sidelong glance. "If there's a singing event, go home and listen to it. What are you doing lingering here?"

  "Waiting for the takeout."

  Jian Yan: "…"

  After she prepared the food to take to the company tomorrow, Lin Zhen's takeout had already been delivered. Lin Zhen ordered a large basin of spicy boiled dishes, and the whole room was filled with the smell of the spicy boiled dishes, which was especially… appetizing. Jian Yan took the chopsticks and bowl and went over to mooch some, but was mercilessly slapped away by Lin Zhen just like she had slapped Lin Zhen away earlier. "I won't let you have any."

  Jian Yan raised her eyebrows and stood up to look at her. "Woman, the sofa you're sitting on is mine, the computer you're using is mine, and the floor you're stepping on is mine. How dare you still resist me?"

  Lin Zhen: "…………"

  The teacher really lives up to her reputation as a creator. She can easily come up with all kinds of characters, hehe.

  "Here, you can have it all. Stop disgusting me." Lin Zhen pushed the spicy boiled dishes over. "Aren't you allergic to men? Why do you know so much about male characters? And you even draw BG comics? You should draw yuri comics instead."

  "How can male characters in the 2D world be the same as those in the 3D world?"

  "That makes sense. After all, a character like your male protagonist would be a bit scary if he were in the real world."

  "What's wrong with my male protagonist? If he could come out, he could defeat all the men on the whole street in a minute, okay?"

  "Okay, okay, your male protagonist is the most handsome." As Lin Zhen spoke, she picked up a piece of beef for herself. "By the way, could you please help me buy some cakes at the dessert shop when you get off work tomorrow? Will there be a discount if employees of your Xingguang Department Store buy them?"

  Jian Yan gave her a blank look. "The dessert shop is owned by the Yu family, not by Mr. He."

  "Then what other benefits do you have?" Lin Zhen looked disgusted. Just as she was about to mock her a few more words, there was movement on the YY channel. "Ah, the singing event is starting, it's starting!"

  She excitedly turned up the volume. Jian Yan glanced at the screen and then continued to bury herself in eating. The host was rattling off the opening remarks. When she heard that the singing event would last until eleven o'clock at night, Jian Yan was taken aback. "You don't mean to stay here until eleven o'clock, do you?"

  Lin Zhen said, "Eleven o'clock is still a conservative estimate. It might be extended at any time."

  Jian Yan: "…"

  Lin Zhen put her arm around Jian Yan's shoulder in a friendly manner and even winked at her. "It's not like we haven't slept together before. Why are you being shy?"

  Jian Yan twitched the corner of her mouth and pushed her hand away.

  At nine forty in the evening, He Xiu led the supervisors of each floor to start patrolling the mall. Many female employees looked forward to this time every day. There was no special reason, they just simply coveted Manager He's good looks.

  When patrolling to the Dream Wardrobe, seeing that Jian Yan wasn't there, He Xiu walked up to the team leader and asked about the situation. "What do you think of the new employee?"

  The team leader said, "Ah, you mean Jian Yan. She's not bad. She knows a lot about clothing brands and prices, and she's very smart. On her first day here today, her sales were the highest."

  He Xiu nodded. "I also saw what happened in the morning. Although Mrs. Zheng likes to be difficult, she's always very generous when she makes a purchase. Jian Yan handled it well."

  After he learned about the situation here, he continued to patrol the mall. There were only the last batch of customers left in the mall, and many of them stopped to look at him when he passed by.

  He Xiu was already used to it and didn't show any discomfort. After finishing his work, he received a call from his friend Tang Zheng. "Congratulations, Mr. He, the eldest son. You have one more girlfriend. Can you summon the Dragon God after collecting ten of them?"

  He Xiu had been at the branch company in another city for the past two days and hadn't read the gossip news. But he didn't need to read it to know that the paparazzi must have revealed again that he was someone's boyfriend. "You can't envy this kind of thing even if you want to."

  "Pfft, my taste isn't that bad."

  "It should be said that the paparazzi's taste isn't that bad either."

  Tang Zheng: "…"

  "Did you call just to listen to me 怼你？"

  Tang Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth. "I just wanted to remind you not to forget the singing event tonight!"
