Xiao Yu's Daily Life (Part 1)

Hai City's mornings were always bustling with traffic, the roads packed with people rushing to work like oxen and horses.

Lu Xing used to be one of those oxen and horses – he'd rush to his part-time job on Saturday mornings. But now, seeing the commuters through Xiao Yu's eyes, as a wealthy and beautiful CEO, he had a different thought.

A feeling of smug satisfaction!

He was the boss now, no need to worry about being late, no work pressure, and no idiotic superiors spouting idiotic remarks.

Going to work meant sitting comfortably in the car, waiting for the driver to reach the destination.

How utterly satisfying!

Moreover, Lu Xing felt even more satisfied than Xiao Yu, as he wasn't the real boss and didn't need to worry about the company's survival.

His only pressure was not letting anyone realize he was a man.

Fifteen minutes later, the car drove into the underground parking lot of a building. After it stopped, Assistant Zhang busied herself getting out to open the door for CEO Lu.

Although the luxury car's door was electric, she still went through the motions.

"CEO Xiao, this way."

"Okay."

Lu Xing, wearing women's sneakers, got out of the car. After the baptism of Anne's sparkly little dress, he could now handle wearing Xiao Yu's everyday dresses. The only thing he still resisted was high heels.

They were ugly and uncomfortable, completely outside Lu Xing's aesthetic. He had seen so many movies and TV shows, and the only time he thought high heels looked good was on the female lead in Malena.

He was the boss now, he could wear whatever he wanted.

Secretary Sun had already pressed the elevator button. Lu Xing didn't have to wait long before the elevator arrived.

Taking the elevator to the nineteenth floor, Lu Xing saw Xiao Yu's company's front desk as soon as he exited, along with the logo and text above it:

Ta Shan Investment Co., Ltd.

Without Xiao Yu explaining, Lu Xing knew that her company's name was taken from the meaning of "the stones of other mountains can be used to polish one's own jade." Combined with her company's main business, it was quite fitting.

"Good morning, CEO Xiao~"

The tall, sweet-looking front desk lady was eating breakfast. Seeing Lu Xing, she quickly smiled and greeted him.

"Morning."

Lu Xing replied simply. Since he didn't know her, he didn't call her by name.

After entering the company, even more people greeted him, saying things like "Good morning, CEO Xiao," "Morning, CEO Xiao," "Morning, Boss," and so on.

The company of nearly two hundred people occupied an entire floor of the building, totaling over a thousand square meters. There was also another floor downstairs used as the company's gym and recreation room. The per capita usable area could be said to be quite luxurious, showing the grandeur of a large company.

It was Lu Xing's first time here, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances at the employees and office layout.

But just these two glances made the originally lively company instantly much quieter. These workplace elites, who had graduated from different schools, were unusually sensitive and noticed the difference in the CEO's gaze.

It was as if she wasn't pleased with the people in the company and was going to lay off one or two!

Not one or two people, but one or two business teams!

"CEO Xiao, you—" Secretary Sun tried to ask.

"...Where's my office?"

Lu Xing took a few more glances before asking the secretary.

Sun Ying was momentarily stunned by the question, then replied, "Your office? It's, it's this way."

Saying that, she walked ahead to lead the way.

Lu Xing followed her and finally arrived at Xiao Yu's office.

Inside, it was over fifty square meters. The desk faced the floor-to-ceiling window. The bookshelf held some decorations and books. The other furnishings, like the water dispenser, sofa, and coffee machine, weren't particularly special.

The main thing was the extremely wide view.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was Hai City's most prosperous Financial Center. Working in such an environment, especially as the boss of an investment company, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in life was simply immense!

At least, that's how Lu Xing felt after sitting in the boss's chair.

"Your company is really nice!"

Lu Xing sent a message to Xiao Yu, and also took a photo for her, telling her he was already in the office.

Xiao Yu didn't reply, probably in class.

Lu Xing admired the view for a while. The secretary brought him a cup of tea, placed it down gently, and seeing that President Xiao didn't give any instructions, she left again.

The secretary's office was right next door.

Lu Xing waited for her to leave before picking up the tea and walking to the window to slowly drink it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he was afraid that as soon as he spoke, the secretary would ask him about work matters. He was only a third-year university student, and there was quite a gap between him and a senior executive like Xiao Yu, who had been working for several years.

Even though he and Xiao Yu had gotten along quite well these past few days, if he messed up her business or damaged her image as president, there was no guarantee she wouldn't turn on him.

"President Xiao."

Along with a gentle knock on the door, a voice came from outside.

"Come in," Lu Xing called out, standing by the window. He watched the person who pushed the door open and entered. It was a woman around forty, with short hair, wearing a women's business suit, and a smile on her face. However, seeing him standing by the window holding a teacup and drinking tea, she was slightly taken aback.

"President Xiao, are you free now? I'd like to report on personnel matters."

"Yes, come in."

Lu Xing sat back in the president's chair, glanced at his phone, Xiao Yu still hadn't replied. It seemed he would have to improvise.

"It's like this."

Du Yirong, the head of human resources, first handed him several documents before sitting down opposite him and explaining, "The Securities Investment Department needs two people. I've initially interviewed a few and selected some resumes to bring for your review, President."

Lu Xing had never worked a proper job, only part-time. He wasn't quite sure how a company of two hundred people recruited.

But based on his understanding, surely a regular employee wouldn't require the boss to make the decision?

Was it because the company was still small?

Two hundred people wasn't small, it was considered a medium-sized company, especially since Xiao Yu's was an investment company.

Could it be that the Securities Investment Department is very important?

Lu Xing speculated as he flipped through the resumes.

The first resume dazzled him:

"Zhao Anqi, Female, 28 years old, Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Hai City University of Finance and Economics, Master's degree in Computer Science from Amebia University.

Internship Experience: Served as a Research Assistant in the Fixed Income Department at Aneng Fund Management Co., Ltd. during her senior year. Served as a Researcher at a certain securities company abroad while pursuing her Master's degree..."

Lu Xing was also from the Computer Science department and knew that many of his seniors changed careers after graduation, but he didn't know that seniors who switched to finance did it this way.

"Expected Monthly Salary: 40,000. Expected Annual Salary: Around 700,000, including comprehensive performance, subsidies, and project bonuses."

Seeing this, Lu Xing nodded. Alright, the annual salary isn't over a million.

He looked at the next one, a Biology PhD, also with overseas study experience at a prestigious university. The expected annual salary went directly to 1.2 million.

In other words, Xiao Yu would have to pay him a monthly salary of 100,000.

For a company with a total of 200 people, the monthly salary expenditure alone would be over ten million.

No wonder she said that tens of millions were nothing to her, and that she could even give him a luxury house plus a large sum of money if he solved the exchange problem.

It turned out she was really rich!

"Hmm..."

Lu Xing quickly read through a few resumes, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then asked the HR manager, "Are you in a hurry to hire? I'll decide tomorrow."

He couldn't tell which of these people was good, so he'd better leave it to Xiao Yu to choose.

After all, choosing the wrong person would result in losses of tens or even millions.

"Okay, we can contact them for a second interview tomorrow. Will you be personally interviewing them, President?"

"We'll see tomorrow."

Lu Xing pushed it all to Xiao Yu.
