Chapter 17 part 1
By his side, the CEO of Chuang Yi Technology Company was talking.
"... Thank you, President Yan, it is our greatest honor to cooperate with the Yan Group."
Yan Shiting did not respond, his steps slowing slightly as his gaze fell on the slender figure in the corner of the hall.
Their eyes met, and Yu Li quickly looked away, continuing to wipe the rain-dampened hair with the towel in his hands.
But Yan Shiting's gaze inconspicuously observed Yu Li.
It's been a few days, he seems to have lost some weight.
Wearing a formal shirt and tie, is he here for an interview?
It's raining and cold today, why is he not wearing a coat?
Yan Shiting's mouth tightened, his footsteps pausing for only a moment, but the next second, he continued to step forward and leave.
Never mind.
-
Yu Li didn't expect to see Yan Shiting here.
He was caught off guard when their eyes met, and he quickly turned his head to avoid it. After the group left the building, he finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
He finished wiping the rain off his head and went to the front desk to sign in.
"Thank you for the towel. I'm the intern who received a call for an interview yesterday."
"Okay, just fill in your name and phone number here, the HR department is on the fifth floor."
After signing in, Yu Li took the elevator to the fifth floor for the interview.
By the time the interview was over, half an hour had passed.
The HR told Yu Li to come back in half a month for the written test, and only after passing that written test would he be able to start the internship at Chuang Yi Technology.
The written test and interview a month later would be different from the previous one, as it was specially designed by Chuang Yi for interns to assess their professional level and determine which area of work would suit them.
Yu Li stood up and thanked them, and just as he was about to leave, the HR suddenly asked another question:
"Excuse me, I noticed that the project you did in the programming competition was game-related, but the small program you showed me just now was a tool-type one. So which area are you more skilled and interested in?"
Yu Li knew that Chuang Yi also had a game development studio under its umbrella, so the HR was probably considering which department to arrange him in after he passed the written test.
However, he actually couldn't answer this question.
What was he skilled and interested in? He didn't even know himself.
He pursed his lips, his gaze vaguely answering, "I think both are still okay."
The HR nodded and smiled, "Okay, I understand. Don't be nervous, good luck on the written test."
After leaving the interview office, Yu Li let out a soft sigh.
When he went downstairs, he saw that it was raining heavily outside.
The light drizzle when he came earlier had now turned into a downpour.
Yu Li called a car on his phone, but since it was raining heavily, the car took a while to arrive.
After about seven or eight minutes, he received a call from the driver saying he was about to arrive.
Just as Yu Li was about to step out of the office building to wait at the roadside, he saw a figure with an umbrella quickly approaching him.
Upon closer look, it was Butler He.
Yu Li was stunned, and when he reacted, he wanted to just pretend he didn't see him, but he heard Butler He's anxious voice calling out to him:
"Little Yu, wait, take the umbrella!"
Yu Li had no choice but to stand still.
Butler He quickly came up to him and stuffed another black umbrella into his hand.
"It's raining so hard, you can't go without an umbrella."
Yu Li was caught off guard, looking at the black umbrella in his hand and then at Butler He: "Uncle He, I..."
He paused, glancing at the black Bentley parked by the roadside.
He tightened his lips and asked, "Was this given to me by the President?"
Butler He's gaze was somewhat complicated as he said, "Since I'm the one who put the umbrella in your hand, then it's from me. Besides, no matter who told me to give it to you, you can't just throw it away. Think more about your own health and don't get wet in the rain."
Yu Li gripped the umbrella tightly, lowering his head.
Butler He was good to him, so he couldn't just waste his kindness.
A white car had stopped by the roadside, and Yu Li's phone also rang at this time.
His taxi had arrived.
Yu Li hung up the phone, looked at Butler He, and finally said, "Thank you, Uncle He."
Butler He nodded, watching as Yu Li walked to the white car, shielded by the umbrella.
After the white car left, Butler He returned to the car.
He sat in the passenger seat, turning back to the backseat where Yan Shiting was and said, "Young Master, you..."
He didn't know exactly what had caused the argument between Yan Shiting and Yu Li that night, but he could guess that his young master might have said something inappropriate again, causing a misunderstanding.
Yan Shiting looked down at the tablet, interrupting Butler He's words, "Let's go back to the office."
The driver acknowledged, starting the car.
Butler He retracted his gaze, silently sighing.
...
Back in the dorm, thanks to the umbrella sent by Butler He, Yu Li's body didn't get wet, only the hem of his pants was damp.
He changed his pants and sat thinly dressed at the desk, wanting to read a bit more, but his mind couldn't help but think about what the HR had said.
What did he really like doing?
Yu Li propped his head, unusually lost in thought at the desk.
As he was thinking, he suddenly thought of Yan Shiting again, his gaze subtly glancing towards the black umbrella placed in the water bucket by the door.
Thinking back to the argument that night, what he and Yan Shiting said seemed to be quite chaotic, as if they were completely out of sync.
Sure enough, they were people from two different worlds.
Well, it's all in the past now.
