Buffet restaurant downstairs from the hotel.
"What! Are you an international student at Columbia University? With a hint of surprise in his tone, Li Yan looked at Ruan Yumei opposite and asked.
"What's wrong? Any questions? β
"Not really!" Waving his hand, Li explained in a strange tone: "I am also a student of Columbia University, so we are still alumni!" β
"Really? Are you also a student at Columbia? β
"Of course it's true! What am I lying to you for? Seeing that Ruan Yumei was a little disbelieving, Li Yan took out her student ID card from her wallet and shook it in front of her.
"It's really true! I didn't expect to meet alumni here! What a coincidence! β
"This is called a meeting between the two of them! It's God's will! β
"Well, maybe!"
The two are of the same age, and they are both Chinese in a foreign country. Soon, the relationship between Li Yan and Ruan Yumei heated up rapidly, and there was no previous awkward atmosphere.
After laughing for a while, Li Yan pursed his lips and asked, "What happened just now?" That bald donkey seems to know you? β
Ruan Yumei smiled bitterly and explained helplessly: "He is a big customer of mine, and it is also the key to whether I can become a full-time employee." Today, I finally negotiated the signing conditions with him, but I didn't expect ......"
"Then isn't your work going to be yellow?" Thinking of the resentment of the bald white man when he was leaving, Li Yan asked with some concern.
"Hey! There's no way around it. Ruan Yumei's face was melancholy, "I thought that the American legal system was perfect, and there would be fewer unspoken rules like this, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape this hurdle!" β
"The world is as black as a crow, and in the game of capital, these dark rules are indispensable. No matter where you go, as long as you still want to live in this circle, it is unavoidable. β
Nodding wordlessly, Ruan Yumei sighed and stared at the red wine glass on the table in a depressed mood.
Seeing that the atmosphere was low again, Li Yan coughed and shifted to the topic. "What are you studying?" It stands to reason that I should have heard of you as a beautiful person, but why don't I have the slightest impression of you? β
"How can I be as exaggerated as you say!" If you praise a woman for being beautiful, it is the most effective trick at any time. Ruan Yumei's face turned red, and she explained with disgust: "I majored in art history and archaeology, and I have very few classmates. Plus my personality is relatively homely, and I don't come out often, so it's normal that you haven't heard of me! β
"Art History and Archaeology? Does Columbia have this major? β
"Yes, it's a master's degree!"
Suddenly nodded, "No wonder I haven't heard of it!" But how old are you? It looks like I'm about the same age, but I'm already studying for a master's degree! β
Ruan Yumei's face was embarrassed, and Li Yan rolled her eyes, "Don't you know that it is very impolite to rashly inquire about a woman's age!" β
"Oh, sorry! Forget about it in a hurry! Li Yan, who was taught a lesson by the beauty, scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized with a smile.
"Humph! Count you as acquaintances! Ruan Yumei eased up and explained to Li Yan: "When I was in elementary school and junior high school, I jumped four levels in succession, so in terms of age, I may be a few years younger than you!" β
"Hehe, I see!"
"Humph! Or what do you think it is? β
Faced with Ruan Yumei, who was pressing step by step on this issue, Li Yan wisely chose to remain silent and did not fight back. He knows that once a girl is more energetic, any reasonable behavior is self-defeating!
"Boss! This girl might be useful to you! Just when Li Yan was silent, Livermore suddenly appeared and said to him mysteriously.
Glancing at Ruan Yumei, who was still sulking, Li Yan frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Oh? How? β
"She's an archaeology major!"
"That's right! Why didn't I think of this stubble! β
After being reminded by Livermore, Li Yan suddenly came to his senses. Isn't he busy preparing for a treasure hunt at this time? The other party's archaeology major is just a strong support for him!
Thinking of this, Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes began to look at Ruan Yumei without blinking.
"Y-What do you want to do!"
Taken aback by Li Yan's sudden change, Ruan Yumei shrank back in some horror and asked with a disgraced expression.
"Where do you work now, what kind of company do you run now?"
"Yes, it's an art auction company that specializes in auctioning some high-value antiques and artworks." Looking at Li Yan, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Ruan Yumei said nervously: "Why are you asking this!" β
Without returning to the other party's question, Li Yan continued to ask: "After what happened just now, you must not be able to do your work there, right?" β
"Yes! What the hell do you want to ask? β
Li Yan didn't tease Ruan Yumei anymore, straightened his face, and said to her: "I mean, if you don't work there anymore, can you consider coming under me?" β
"To you?"
"That's right! Come to me! β
Ruan Yumei stared at Li Yan with a puzzled expression, "You also do this?" β
"Huh?" Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Li Yan nodded, "Almost!" β
Rolling her eyes, Ruan Yumei was obviously a little crying and laughing at this explanation. "What do you mean by almost! Yes, no, no, no, how can there be a similar statement! β
"Specifically, I can't tell you clearly now, but when you come over, you will naturally understand!" Waving his hand, Li Yan said: "Let's not talk about these things first, you haven't said whether you agree or not!" β
"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Ruan Yumei was still a little hard to believe.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Looking at Li Yanzheng's expression, Ruan Yumei lowered her head in disbelief and began to think about it. However, anyone who is recruited by someone who has just known each other for less than half a day will have some drums in their hearts, and Ruan Yumei is naturally no exception.
Looking at the other party's frowning brows, Li Yan smiled bitterly, he also knew that his rash invitation would definitely be suspected by the other party.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan further persuaded: "You see if this will work, I will give you a one-week internship first." During the internship period, the office space and off-duty time are as you decide. If you don't like anything about it, feel free to leave at any time, how about it? β
"It's really up to me?" Ruan Yumei, who had never seen such a rule, asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true! However, after officially going to work, you can't do this! β
Originally, Ruan Yumei was a little resistant in her heart. But somehow, when she saw Li Yan's hopeful expression, she suddenly softened her heart and nodded in agreement.
"Well, since you have seen such favorable conditions, I will come and try it!"
"Great! I knew you would! With a wave of his fist, Li Yan roared excitedly.
"However, do you count on the company's affairs? Don't let your boss let me in when the time comes, I won't spare you! After agreeing, Ruan Yumei was obviously a lot more relaxed and began to inquire about work with Li Yan.
"Ahem! How could such a thing happen! I'm the boss, who can control me! β
"Yo! Unexpectedly, you are still the boss of the company at a young age! Tell me honestly, are you the legendary rich second generation! β
Looking at Ruan Yumei, who had obviously misunderstood, Li Yan smiled unnaturally. "Actually, I don't have any company. Strictly speaking, I hired you personally! β
"What! You hired me yourself! The smile on Ruan Yumei's face froze, and he turned to say angrily: "What kind of idea are you fighting!" β
"Don't be angry, listen to me explain to you!"
Taking a sip of tea, Li Yan told Ruan Yumei about the plan for the treasure hunt. As for the motive, he naturally did not say it explicitly. Instead, he lied, saying that he was also entrusted to help with errands.
"Is that really the case?"
"Hehe, of course!"
"Then why didn't you tell me at the beginning! Say! Do you have anything else on your mind? β
Helplessly, Li Yan explained: "If I had told you this at the beginning, would you still agree to work under me?" β
After thinking about it for a while, Ruan Yumei also understood Li Yan's distress. However, this does not mean that she will be completely relieved of Li Yan. "You'd better have no other intentions! Otherwise, I must make you look good! β
"There won't be!"
Li Yan saw that Ruan Yumei's mood had calmed down, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said to her: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" β
Glaring at the other party dissatisfied, Ruan Yumei picked up the wine glass, touched it with Li Yan, and took a sip.
"Well, nice to work with......"
