Chapter 1.1 – Matchmaking Alternative
One year ago..
What fun and thrilling things would happen on a blind date?
Nou Nou’s first blind date, she couldn’t believe her bad luck.
Looking at the man sitting opposite her, Nuo Nuo unconsciously swallowed. Sunlight on the side of his face, perfectly outlined his features: straight nose and eyes with a slight sarcasm. On top of that, his thin lips formed a smirk as he uttered those words, causing Nuo Nuo to lower her head and hide.
“Miss Xu, we seem to know each other.” He said.
Yes, they know each other. They’ve met a month ago in the president’s office on the seventeenth floor.
Yes, he is Nuo Nuo’s current Big Boss, Xiao Yi.
Now, now once again, no limit to her character, she was on a blind date with her own boss, and importantly she’s still on a probationary period.
A month ago, Nuo Nuo did not listen to the discouragement of family and friends. Determined to abandon a fairly good salary and an administrative job, she dove back into the job market pool. She was fairly lucky, over a week, visiting two or three companies she has found a new job that she preferred.
Written tests went well, interviews were not bad, the only thing that caused Nuo Nuo to be depressed was… On the first day of work, cold water was poured in her enthusiasm. Nuo Nuo’s new company is a famous RPG production company, her duties are to outline her plans to the planning board, frankly a writer.
The work was not tiring, wages are on the upper end, the company was big and very stable, she was quite satisfied herself. On the first day of work, she excitedly followed the HR manager to the seventeenth floor to meet Big Boss. The result: Big Boss with one sentence killed her in a heartbeat.
HR Manager: “Xiao Zong, this the Planning Departments new writer Xu Nuo, I took her to meet you.”
Xiao Zong: “……”
He appeared to be very busy, he did not speak, he did not raise his head, he kept working on files. Apart from a slight swing sound from the air-conditioning, the entire office just the sound of three people breathing, the atmosphere was very awkward.
Nuo Nuo rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth, decided to fight on! She graciously took one step forward and introduced herself: “Xiao Zong, hello, my name is Nuo Nuo. Although this is my first time planning for a game company, I will try harder!”
She finished speaking, wondering how Big Boss would respond, perhaps he’ll give her a few encouraging words? After all, it only encourages employees to strive and work harder.
In an instant, Big Boss Xiao Yi really did lift his head and glanced at her, she lamented that he is actually a handsome young man, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, said: “Planning Department? Since the founding of the company, there has not been a female that’s able to stay long enough in that department, you work hard then.”
{{{(>_<)}}}
That last part “You work hard then” is not so much of an encouragement, rather… he was provoking her! Since then, Nuo Nuo has developed a psychological obsession with avoiding the Big Boss’ shadow. Whether it is a training course the mere mention of the name “Xiao Yi”, or in staff meetings seeing his handsome figure, she would avoid and stay away. She even do the one hand, Buddhist prayer position mumbling mantras “Amitabha Buddha, evil spirit disappear, he did not see, did not see me.”
However, who could have thought… The blind date candidate her mother arranged would turn out to be Big Boss!
Nuo Nuo’s done for.
How can there such coincidence? But the mother’s blind date profile clearly said, just an ordinary business manager, and now…… She stole a glance at his face, she’s completely embarrassed.
“Miss Xu.” As Nuo Nuo was deciding whether to answer or not, Xiao Yi spoke again, “If I remember correctly, when you came into the company, what you filled out for your status on the resume was ……” Xiao Yi paused with his head tilted and brutally spit out the word, “married.”
suteki: I quite like the interactions between our two leads so far. Quite cute how Nuo Nuo is afraid of Xiao Yi.
