Compared with the busy office of the assistant general manager, Ling Anxun's office on the other side was alone in a daze at the whiteboard. Since he finished eating with Wei Yuheng that day, Ling Anxun has not seen Wei Yuheng. According to Xiao Chen, Wei Yuheng will go out to discuss cooperation with retail companies in the past few days to expand Xihe's sales channels. This means that Ling Anxun must do a good job of design as soon as possible, so that Xihe has more and better designs, so as to expand channels and provide assistance for Wei Yuheng. However, she is not short of design creativity at the moment, what she lacks is people.

Ling Anxun has been a little lonely these days, but she is not idle, she has observed the list of people she pulled out before when she was wandering in the design department. The people on the list, she also asked Bo Jing to help do the checks. Ling Anxun was very cautious in choosing people, because once he chose the wrong person and chose a person from Lu Menglei to come in, that sentence meant that it was very likely that he would lose everything. But you can't just choose those who are not talented because you have to be cautious, after all, Ling Anxun really needs to use these people.

Ling Anxun is very smart, according to the list of design department staff provided by "Guantian" before, these people are divided into three classes according to their talents, and then according to their proximity to Lu Menglei, they are divided into three classes, and those with high talents and estranged from Lu Menglei are the first choice, there is really one such person, everyone knows that she is a marginal person in Xihe Clothing Design Department - Jian Anyun.

Jian Anjun, 38 years old, was born in an ordinary family in Shengdu, completed his university studies with honors through Xihe's bursary fund, and came to work in Xihe after graduation. However, because of the different design concepts between her and Lu Menglei, quarrels often broke out between the two, so that after Lu Menglei took power, she was marginalized. Although Jian Anjun obeyed the company's arrangement on the surface, she was not convinced in her heart, and she hoped to win over Lu Menglei through the company's internal competition, so as to prove that her concept had always been correct. However, the world is impermanent, and the general manager of Xihe clothing is not in good health and has been on sick leave, so Lu Menglei took the opportunity to cancel all the internal competitions in Xihe. This made Jian Anjun very frustrated, and she was even more excluded and marginalized, so that no one wanted to work with her, because no one in the design department wanted to offend Lu Menglei, who was in the middle of the day.

This experience convinced Ling Anxun that as long as he threw an olive branch, the other party would definitely join his team. However, Bo Jing still poured cold water on her, the reason why Jian Anjun was marginalized was not all Lu Menglei's problem, and her own arrogant personality was also one of the reasons, so Ling Anxun must be careful when wooing Jian Anjun. Ling Anxun thought about this for a long time, and finally decided to invite her first team member today.

Jian Anyun's location is actually not far from Ling Anxun, just across the corridor, at the end of the large office of the design department, surrounded by empty desks, which is extremely deserted. Through his observations in the past few days, Ling Anxun found that Jian Anjun would bring back a cup of "mandarin duck" from the canteen downstairs every morning, and then start his day's design work. However, today she didn't even bring a drink. Ling Anxun asked the canteen to know that the equipment used to make mandarin ducks had broken down and was being overhauled, and it was expected to be repaired after noon.

Ling Anxun felt that this was a godsend, so he immediately bought a bottle of hot milk tea and a bottle of hot coffee from the supermarket, and asked for two paper cups from a store selling drinks, and then returned to the design department. Sure enough, as Ling Anxun expected, Jian Anjun was sitting in front of the computer at this moment, busy revising her design draft, but her movements were obviously a little sluggish, as if she couldn't lift her spirits. Ling Anxun couldn't help but smile when he saw this, so he walked over with a drink and a cup.

"Hello, my name is Ling Anxun, the new design director, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ling Anxun introduced himself straight to the point.

"Hello, what's the matter with me?" Jian Anjun's face was expressionless, and she didn't seem to have the name of a director in her eyes, and in her mind, no one was as important as her design.

Ling Anxun was already prepared in his heart, so he was not surprised by Jian Anyun's performance at all, "Oh, that's right, I bought a bottle of milk tea and a bottle of coffee to make 'Mandarin Duck', but I can't drink so much by myself, I want to share it with you." ”

Hearing the word "mandarin duck", Jian Anjun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and sure enough, 'mandarin duck' has become an indispensable drink for her work. However, Jian Anjun still pretended to be calm and said, "Well, okay...... All right. ”

Ling Anxun smiled again, put down the cup, and began to mix mandarin ducks on the spot, asking while adjusting, "Do you want more milk tea or more coffee?" ”

Jian Anjun coughed lightly and said, "Well, half and half are fine." ”

"Okay." Ling Anxun prepared the drink according to Jian Anyun's request at a glance and handed it over, "Okay, the standard is one to one, or warm, how about you taste it?" ”

Jian Anjun picked up the cup and took a sip slowly, her eyes widened immediately, she didn't expect that the taste of such a hand-blended "mandarin duck" would be even stronger, however, she didn't want Ling Anxun to notice her surprise, so she said duplicitously, "Well, make do." ”

Ling Anxun smiled, poured the rest of the drink into another cup, and also mixed a cup of "Mandarin Duck" for himself.

"Tell me, do you have anything to do with me?" After Jian Anjun saved the design artwork in the computer, he finally began to look at Ling Anxun and said.

"No, it's just a drink with you." Ling Anxun deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"I know that I like to drink mandarin ducks from the restaurant downstairs, and seeing that I didn't drink it today, I specially took the drink cup from the restaurant downstairs. Jian Anjun said. Although she is a marginal person of Xihe, she is not stupid, and none of the disputes within the company can escape her eyes, let alone Ling Anxun's little trick.

"Since Designer Jian said so, then I'll also say it directly, you see that we all have an An in our name, I think we are very fateful, so I hope you can join my team and participate in the Xihe Monthly Competition." Ling Anxun said sincerely.

"Join your team? Sorry for being a step late, I've already agreed to join another team. Jian Anjun said coldly.

"You already have a team?" Ling Anxun was a little surprised, because, according to the results of her investigation, it was impossible for a design team in Xihe Design Department to ask Jian Anjun, could it be that there was a deviation in her own investigation?

Just when Ling Anxun was still thinking, Jian Anjun directly issued an eviction order, "Thank you Director Ling for your 'mandarin duck', but I have my own decision, and no one can change it." Jian Anjun is such a temper, she will continue to do things when she recognizes them, unless she changes her mind, otherwise other people's opinions are like air in her eyes.

Ling Anxun knew Jian Anyun's personality in his heart, and he no longer persuaded him, but said, "It's okay, but you have to remember that if you change your mind, my team will always have a place for you." As he spoke, Ling Anxun took his cup of drink and two empty drink bottles, and walked away without looking back.

Ling Anxun, who returned to his office, was not as handsome as he was just now, and the first team member's plan to win over him was frustrated, and it seemed that his future was worrying. She looked at her recruitment email, then at the candidate's information she had printed, and fell into thought. Who would be safer to turn to?

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door. Ling Anxun thought it was Han Yuyan running back, and hurriedly said, "Please come in." However, after the door opened, the person she saw was not Han Yuyan, but a strange young woman, with pretty short hair, big glasses, and a baseball cap, which looked a bit like Alalei in the cartoon, playful and cute, and shouted at herself when she entered the door, "Hello Director Ling!" Ling Anxun quickly searched his mind for this person's information, and finally remembered her name before the other party pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Long Xiaoxi?" Ling Anxun shouted.

"It's me." Long Xiaoxi showed a bright smile at Ling Anxun, "Director Ling knows my name?" I'm so happy. ”

Looking at the sunny girl in front of her, Ling Anxun seemed to be infected, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Long Xiaoxi, a new intern of Xihe Clothing, has his own characteristics in design, and he is very good. ”

Long Xiaoxi was praised by Ling Anxun, and he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Director Ling praised it falsely, I'm just a little clever." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, you are still very young, I am optimistic about your development." Ling Anxun is indeed telling the truth, and this Long Xiaoxi is indeed on his shortlist. Young and talented, although lacking some experience, but in time, they will definitely become talents. And she has just joined the company, and she should not have been poisoned by Lu Menglei and others, so she can be regarded as a candidate for the middle and sparse level.

"Thank you, Director Ling, for your appreciation, so I would like to recommend myself to join your team." Long Xiaoxi said excitedly to Ling Anxun.

Ling Anxun smiled, Long Xiaoxi came to her, she had already expected that she was here to join her team, but as an intern, her behavior was too bold, after all, this was a big disapproval of the world.

"Oh? Would you like to join my team? However, there are conditions to join my team, and you have to pass the exam. Ling Anxun leaned back in her chair, she wanted to see what this intern was capable of.

"I know, it's very clear in the recruitment email you sent, and I know all these conditions. I measured and compared it and felt that I was more than capable of it. Long Xiaoxi said confidently.

"Can you tell me why you want to join my team?" Ling Anxun continued to ask.

"Of course, it's because of you, Director Ling." Long Xiaoxi seemed to be well prepared, and after hearing Ling Anxun's question, he immediately said, "I heard that you are a close disciple of Master Wood, and you are also the mysterious guest designer of the 'Paradise Fantasy Realm'. Of course, I hope to learn more from you by joining your team. ”

"Then do you know that Director Lu and I are in competition? Joining my team, aren't you afraid of offending Director Lu, which will affect your future development in Xihe, or even become a regular player? Ling Anxun hit the nail on the head, and it was all stuck in the place where Long Xiaoxi needed to think about the most.

However, Long Xiaoxi looked indifferent and said, "I came to Xihe Clothing because I took a fancy to the reputation of its design department, and I wanted to learn useful things and improve my design level." I don't want to participate in these internal company battles, if Director Lu really wants to blame, then I can only find another job. ”

Ling Anxun nodded as she listened, this was indeed what a person Long Xiaoxi's age would say, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. Isn't there a saying, called "catching up is not a sale", although now is the time to employ people, it is not good to trust the other party.

"Okay, I understand, you go back first, I'll send you the new exam questions by email, and I'll give them to me before 9 am on Monday." Ling Anxun said. This Long Xiaoxi, she needs to observe again.

"Okay." Long Xiaoxi didn't seem to notice Ling Anxun's concerns about herself, and walked out of her office happily, but when the door of Ling Anxun's office closed again, Long Xiaoxi seemed to be a different person. In the stairwell not far away, a familiar figure beckoned to him. Long Xiaoxi looked around and saw that there was no one, so he walked in according to the other party's instructions.
