Because of the goodwill built up from previous events, Gu Miaomiao and Xia Zhiyi's meeting this time could be described as harmonious and pleasant.
After reading the contract Xia Zhiyi handed over, Gu Miaomiao and her friend who had accompanied her to see Xia Zhiyi looked at it for a while. After confirming that there were no problems, and seeing that Xia Zhiyi had not yet returned, they started chatting.
Just now, after Xia Zhiyi took out the contract, in order to prevent the two girls from being too nervous to read it carefully, she considerately offered to use the restroom and gave them space.
His thoughtfulness won Gu Miaomiao's favor once again.
" Miaomiao, Xia Zhiyi such a nice guy. Was he deliberately avoiding showing us the contract just now?" her friend whispered in Gu Miaomiao's ear.
Right now, they weren't in the library, but in a coffee shop next to Gu Miaomiao's school library.
Gu Miaomiao thought about the clauses she had just seen in the contract, picked up a pen and wrote down the parts she still had questions about, planning to ask Xia Zhiyi them later. Hearing this, she nodded. "He's a very nice person. I had to stand him up several times before because of various unexpected events, but he didn't mind at all."
"She has such a good temper."
Her friend knew how Gu Miaomiao had been having such bad luck a few days ago, almost missing her final exams, and her expression turned sympathetic. "I don't know what's wrong with you."
Gu Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, "It's probably just Mercury retrograde."
Friend: "But think about it, after signing this contract, you'll have a stable income every month, a direct leap to success, and you'll also have an internship certificate. Looking at it this way, getting a job like this after a few unlucky days is still a good deal."
Upon hearing this, Gu Miaomiao thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "You're right."
For someone from an ordinary background like her, what does bad luck matter? If she can earn enough money, bad luck can even be considered a good thing.
The only thing Gu Miaomiao felt bad about was that her situation had affected Xia Zhiyi's arrangements; she didn't really care about her own affairs.
She's the type of person who doesn't like to bother others, but she's easygoing and doesn't care much about herself.
"Wow, that's amazing! I heard he's only eighteen? He looks like a minor, but his aura is so different." Her friend remarked with admiration, gently patting Gu Miaomiao before turning to make sure Xia Zhiyi hadn't come out yet, and then continued, "Hey, what do you think?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't immediately understand what her friend meant, until her friend lowered her voice again and said, "That senior from before is bothering you again, right? You're about to graduate, it's time to find someone to date. Your young boss is quite good-looking, although he looks young, he doesn't seem immature at all, and he's very considerate..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Miaomiao reached out and covered her friend's mouth, a little helplessly saying, "Don't talk nonsense, she has a boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, her friend's eyes widened for a moment, but she quickly realized something and understood, gesturing for Gu Miaomiao to let go of her.
Gu Miaomiao knew that her friend wasn't someone who lacked sense of propriety, so she let go of her hand.
My friend sighed, "Yeah, these days, there are quite a few people who like puppies."
Then, a hint of curiosity crossed her face, and she asked Gu Miaomiao, "How did you know? Did he tell you?"
Gu Miaomiao knew her friend would immediately start imagining all sorts of things, so she simply said, "When I almost stood him up again, I apologized to him, and he said it was fine for him and his girlfriend to stroll around the area near our meeting place."
Actually, Xia Zhiyi was referring to her boyfriend.
If Gu Miaomiao hadn't known that her friend wasn't the type to gossip, she wouldn't have even told her friend that Xia Zhiyi already had a boyfriend, since Xia Zhiyi was an actress.
People in this profession generally seem to be quite reluctant to let outsiders know about their relationship status.
But if she didn't tell her friends, Gu Miaomiao was afraid they might actually try to set her up with her future young boss, which would be too awkward. It was best to avoid it if possible.
Xia Zhiyi returned at this time.
"How was it? If there's anything you don't understand about the contract, feel free to ask me."
Actually, if it's going to be a contract signing, it would be more appropriate for Xia Zhiyi to bring a professional lawyer. At least from an outsider's perspective, a lawyer is more reliable when it comes to negotiating contracts.
However... Gu Miaomiao's journey has been fraught with unexpected events, and Xia Zhiyi, as a rejected virus, has also faced her own setbacks on her way here.
He himself didn't care. No matter what kind of accident it was, at his level, even if a meteorite fell from the sky, as long as it didn't teleport to his face, he could dodge it.
However, even if Xia Zhiyi can protect others, accidents can sometimes be unpredictable.
Therefore, Xia Zhiyi had to come alone.
"Yes, there are a few things I don't quite understand." Gu Miaomiao quickly pulled her attention back, tugged at her friend's hand under the table, and received a reassuring look from her friend before explaining what she had just written in her notebook.
Xia Zhiyi meant that when faced with Gu Miaomiao's question, he had to frantically search for the corresponding part of the contract, but after a little thought, he directly gave an explanation.
After her questions were answered, Gu Miaomiao clearly understood Xia Zhiyi's sincerity in cooperating, so she didn't hesitate and signed her name directly.
Xia Zhiyi smiled gently at this and said, "Then, Miss Gu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Gu Miaomiao was also a little embarrassed, "It's a pleasure working with you."
Just as Xia Zhiyi was about to politely shake hands with Gu Miaomiao, an unexpected incident occurred.
The chandelier directly above their heads suddenly fell down!
"Careful!"
" Miaomiao!"
Gu Miaomiao and her friend reacted the same way the moment they noticed, both trying to push each other away with their hands.
Meanwhile, the shop owner, who was looking up at the same time not far away, narrowed his eyes and jumped up from his seat in fright. He didn't even notice that the coffee on the table had spilled onto the computer. In that instant, he went through all the aftermath of the accident in his mind, and his heart stopped.
Then, to the astonishment of everyone present, Xia Zhiyi ripped the tablecloth off the table with one hand, and with a swift movement, caught the simply designed chandelier.
Everyone: "..."
call!
Great, no one was hurt!
Gu Miaomiao was the quickest to react. The first thing she did after regaining her senses was rush to her friend's side, who had fallen to the side. " Jingjing, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
