Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing that Ye Qianqian had woken up, Shen Zhilie’s eyes lit up immediately.
“You woke up just in time, my dear wife! This is an emergency! Quick, help me reply to sister Manting!” historical
Sister Manting?
Ye Qianqian was now wide awake. “Shen Manting?”

“What do you mean, ‘disguise’?” Ye Qianqian snatched her phone back from him. “I’m an Eurasian staff member anyway.”
Ye Qianqian browsed through her chat record and replied without hesitation: I received an email from you. Didn’t you send it to us a while back?
Mopy [heart emoji]: I randomly sent my resume to several companies at one go without taking note of their names.
Xi Xi Xi: I see.
Xi Xi Xi: Do you have any work experience?
Mopy [heart emoji]: Yes, I have. But I haven’t been in the comic publishing business.
Xi Xi Xi : You don’t need to have experience in publishing comics. We’re looking for talents for the marketing department who are hardworking and tenacious. I’ve read your resume and you seem suitable for the job. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to arrange for an interview with us.
Mopy [heart emoji]: I’m not in the capital at the moment.
“Does this mean she has no plans of coming back at all?” Ye Qianqian felt a little frightened. Just as she was about to reply, Shen Zhilie stopped her.
“What are you trying to imply?” asked Shen Zhilie.
“I’m trying to persuade her to return!” Ye Qianqian replied in an assured tone. “Lure her to come to the capital.”
“What are you thinking? If you try too hard, she will think of you as a scammer. Let me handle it.” Shen Zhilie grabbed the phone from her.
Xi Xi Xi: No worries. Do take time to consider.
Ye Qianqian became impatient. She snapped, “She obviously won’t come after reading your reply! She’s already thinking of leaving here for good. It’s your fault if she rejects the offer!”
“Calm down.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMopy [heart emoji]: All right, thank you.
Xi Xi Xi: This position is based on a five-day workweek with two days off. The base salary is 5000 yuan with commission. The marketing department works on a tight schedule and you may be asked to work overtime. The overtime pay is 20 yuan per hour.
Ye Qianqian was stunned. “Don’t you think the rate is intimidating for a rookie?”
“No,” Shen Zhilie answered calmly and confidently. “I bet she has been applying for a lot of jobs. This rate isn’t too low, but it’s not exaggerated either.”
Mopy [heart emoji]: Noted with thanks.
Xi Xi Xi: Staff accommodation will be provided. After completing three months’ probation, you’ll be entitled to insurance coverage and other perks offered by the company. We provide competitive employment benefits and annual leave options. Feel free to visit our office. Where are you currently based in?
Mopy [heart emoji]: Jiangsu Province.
Xi Xi Xi: Noted. I do hope you’ll consider our offer. We’re eager to recruit new talents. [handshake emoji]
“You sound so formal and bureaucratic! One look and she would have guessed the message comes from a man.” Ye Qianqian seemed repelled.
“I’m a man, after all. That’s how recruitment procedures are supposed to be – straight to the point.” Shen Zhilie looked through the message again. “It’s an attractive offer. Let’s wait and see if she’ll accept it.”
Ye Qianqian felt uneasy. “Why don’t we tell her the truth? Why do we have to lie to her? I think if she took the bait and discovered our plot to trick her into coming back, she’s going to resent us.”
“We’ll trick her into coming here first and take matters one step at a time.” Shen Zhilie said as he hugged Ye Qianqian. “Anyway, I’m actually capable of arranging a job for her, though not with Eurasian Comics.”
