After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

"Xiaoxi is going to work at China Telecom?"

Su Yanxi was somewhat surprised to hear Shen Shi'an's words.

“Yes, Xiaoxiao made her own choice, so I can’t say much,” Shen Shi’an replied. “If you think it’s not suitable, I’ll talk to her and ask her to find another company.”

Su Yanxi remained silent for a moment. Although she was reluctant for Sun Xiaoxi to come and rely on her, Sun Xiaoxi was, after all, her cousin, and she couldn't just sit idly by. She also knew about Sun Xiaoxi's situation and had considered finding her a more stable job.

Placing her in the group seems inappropriate. Now that Sun Xiaoxi has voluntarily chosen to go to Tianyi, it's one less problem for her. Besides, with Gu Yannian at Tianyi, she can handle any issues that arise.

Thinking of this, Su Yanxi replied, "Since she wants to go to Tianyi herself, then let her go."

"Okay, I'll take Xiaoxiao over today to complete the onboarding procedures, and then she'll officially report to work at China Telecom next week."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, senior."

"This is what I should do."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shi'an beckoned Sun Xiaoxi downstairs, intending to take her to Tianyi.

Upon arriving at Tianyi, Shen Shi'an took Sun Xiaoxi to the Human Resources Department to complete the onboarding procedures.

Because Shen Shi'an personally brought her over, the HR staff responsible for handling Sun Xiaoxi's onboarding procedures were exceptionally friendly towards her, which Sun Xiaoxi appreciated.

After completing the onboarding procedures, the two left the HR department, intending to go home.

While waiting for the elevator, they ran into Gu Yannian and Wang Jiaojiao, who were returning from outside.

Upon seeing Gu Yannian, Sun Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward happily, calling out, "Brother Gu!"

"Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?" Gu Yannian was slightly taken aback when she saw Sun Xiaoxi.

“I brought Xiaoxiao here. Starting next week, Xiaoxiao will be working at Tianyi,” Shen Shi’an explained on behalf of Sun Xiaoxi.

"I see." Gu Yannian nodded slightly. "Then we'll be colleagues from now on."

"Yes, I will need Brother Gu's guidance in the future."

"Haha."

Gu Yannian chuckled a few times, exchanged a few words with Sun Xiaoxi, and then left with Wang Jiaojiao.

Before leaving, Wang Jiaojiao turned back to look at Sun Xiaoxi one more time, and just then she saw Sun Xiaoxi looking at Gu Yannian's back with reluctance.

On the way back, Shen Shi'an offered to take Sun Xiaoxi to buy some clothes. Sun Xiaoxi pretended to be reserved and refused twice, but when Shen Shi'an actually took her to the mall, she couldn't say a word of refusal and happily went to try on clothes.

While Shen Shi'an was waiting for Sun Xiaoxi outside the fitting room, he received a call from Wang Jiaojiao.

After seeing the name on the phone screen, Shen Shi'an got up and walked out of the store before slowly answering the phone: "Hello."

"Shen Shi'an, what are you up to?"

Wang Jiaojiao's somewhat exasperated voice came over: "I went through so much trouble to bring my cousin Su Yanxi over here, I thought you had some brilliant ideas. So all you did was put her next to Brother Yan Nian?"

"You called me just to ask this?"

"Otherwise what? That woman Sun Xiaoxi, it's obvious she has ulterior motives towards Brother Yan Nian. You arranged for her to come here, are you just trying to annoy me?"

As a woman herself, Wang Jiaojiao was naturally able to see through Sun Xiaoxi's thoughts at a glance.

When Shen Shi'an asked her to bring Sun Xiaoxi over, she thought Shen Shi'an had some brilliant plan and spent a lot of money to arrange for someone to find Sun Xiaoxi. But after bringing her over, she ended up being placed next to Gu Yannian. What's going on here?

She was already exhausted from fighting against Su Yanxi alone, and now with Sun Xiaoxi joining in, how could she possibly survive?

"I have my reasons for making these arrangements, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, do you not have any confidence in facing Sun Xiaoxi?" Shen Shi'an saw Sun Xiaoxi come out of the fitting room and admire herself in the mirror, her smile impossible to hide.

“Sun Xiaoxi is vain and jealous, and the kind of person is the easiest to manipulate. Keeping her around will make her a very useful pawn in our hands.” When Shen Shi’an saw Sun Xiaoxi waving at him, he smiled and waved back, as a response: “Don’t be too angry. Just take Sun Xiaoxi in stride. Someone like her can’t be your rival in love.”

After hearing Shen Shi'an's explanation, Wang Jiaojiao's anger finally subsided a little.

She naturally wouldn't take Sun Xiaoxi seriously. But Sun Xiaoxi was, after all, Su Yanxi's cousin. If things really escalated, she was worried that Gu Yannian would side with Sun Xiaoxi out of affection for her!

"Now that this person is here, I can't stop him anymore. So what's your next plan?"

"The next step depends on you. Sun Xiaoxi is interested in Gu Yannian, so you should help her out and give her more opportunities to spend time alone with Gu Yannian. Once she's fallen deeply in love with Gu Yannian, she'll treat Xiaoxi as a rival without us having to lift a finger."

"Aren't you afraid that Sun Xiaoxi will hurt Su Yanxi?"

"Of course I'm afraid Xiaoxi will get hurt, but as long as I can separate her from Gu Yannian completely, then I have to back down on some things."

Upon hearing Shen Shi'an's words, Wang Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Shen Shi'an is truly terrifying. He keeps saying he likes Su Yanxi, but in order to get her, he's even willing to hurt her.

I don't know whether being liked by someone like that is a blessing or a curse!

Sun Xiaoxi had already tried on the clothes. After saying goodbye to Wang Jiaojiao, Shen Shi'an hung up the phone and went inside.

After glancing at the clothes taken out of the fitting room, Shen Shi'an asked, "How was it? Did you find something you like?"

Sun Xiaoxi's eyes darted among the pile of clothes; she liked every single one and found it difficult to make a choice.

Seeing this, Shen Shi'an immediately ordered people to pack up all the clothes that Sun Xiaoxi had tried on.

"Brother Shen, this isn't right. I'll just choose one set."

Sun Xiaoxi was stunned by Shen Shi'an's generosity. Although she was happy, she realized that Su Yanxi would be unhappy if she found out.

"It's alright, since you like them, I'll buy them all. Besides, you're going to work soon, so you should get some new clothes. Consider these clothes a welcome gift for you."

Shen Shi'an smiled and replied, then walked over to swipe his card to pay.

Seeing Shen Shi'an's actions, Sun Xiaoxi began to look forward to her time at Tianyi.

She must work hard and show Gu Yannian a completely new version of herself!
