mutual benefit [gl]

The call Ji Cixi received came from a disposable number.

Before she answered the phone, she thought it was a sales call or a scam call, but after thinking about it for a moment, she still answered it.

The voice on the phone was a male voice that was very unfamiliar to her. The man first reported the personal information that Ji Cixi had written on her resume before, and then asked her if she had applied for the position of Sun Yao's assistant.

"excuse me, you are?"

However, Ji Cixi did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically.

The man let out a deep laugh and said, "Miss Ji is very vigilant, that's right. You just need to know that I am from the Chen Group. I will meet you at the teahouse at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then laughed again: "The address of this teahouse is inside the People's Square, and there is a lot of traffic. So you don't have to worry about safety."

"Chen's Group." Although Ji Cixi knew it well, he still asked, "What else is your company looking for me for?"

"If this matter can be clarified on the phone, please believe me, I don't want to ask you to meet again. After all, everyone's time is precious."

The man replied with a smile.

It seems that there is no information on the phone, so Ji Cixi can only agree first.

Then she hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Cixi directly pressed and held the number "two", and the phone automatically connected to Chen Yuanzhen.

Ji Cixi told her exactly what happened just now.

Chen Yuanzhen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Go ahead, don't worry."

Since Chen Yuanzhen also said to let her go to the appointment with peace of mind, Ji Cixi felt more at ease.She also deliberately went to bed an hour earlier that night so that she could be more energetic the next day.

At nine o'clock the next day, Ji Cixi arrived at the door of the teahouse on time.

She looked up and saw that the teahouse was not small, as high as five floors.

She pushed open the door, looked around, and saw that the decoration of this tea house was very elegant and luxurious, obviously the designer had put a lot of thought into it.

only……

She looked around, but saw that there were no other guests except herself.

Could it be because of the working day?

She was wondering when a young and beautiful waiter walked over not far away.

The waiter bowed slightly to Ji Cixi, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ji?"

Ji Cixi was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at the waiter suspiciously, meeting her smile.

"I am." Ji Cixi pursed her lips to hide her nervousness.

"The guests are already waiting for you, please follow me."

The waiter turned around while talking, Ji Cixi had no choice but to follow her.

The waiter led her to the elevator. She pressed the button of the elevator and said with a smile, "The guest is waiting for you in the box on the top floor."

"The top floor?" Ji Cixi asked.

The elevator door opened, and the attendant nodded and smiled, "Yes, our top floor is the fifth floor."

As she spoke, she made a "please" gesture to let Ji Cixi go into the elevator.

But Ji Cixi smiled and said, "I think it's okay on the fifth floor." She stretched out her hand to cover her abdomen, and smiled apologetically.

"Actually... I ate a bit too much for breakfast, and I want to climb upstairs to digest it."

After she finished speaking, she looked down at the high-heeled shoes on the waiter's feet, and said, "You are wearing high-heeled shoes, and it is inconvenient to walk up the stairs. Why don't you just tell me which room you have, and I can find it myself, so as not to bother you."

There was a flash of astonishment on the waiter's face, but in an instant, a smile as delicate as her makeup appeared on her face.

"It's okay, I'll take you there myself, this way please."

As the waiter said, he walked to the stairs again, and opened the door of the stairwell for Ji Cixi.

"I can't shake it off at all."

Ji Cixi gritted her teeth secretly.

She had no choice but to walk into the stairwell, smiled at the waiter, and said thank you.

The waiter took her all the way up to the fifth floor. Although she was wearing high heels that were not too short, her steps were not delayed at all.The pace was almost at the same speed as that of Ji Cixi who was wearing flat sneakers.

Arriving at the fifth floor, the waiter led Ji Cixi to walk not far in the corridor, and stopped in front of a box.

The waiter reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, Ji Cixi heard a man inside say "Come in".

"Please." The waiter turned to Ji Cixi and said.

"Thank you."

After Ji Cixi finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the doorknob.

The doorknob, which was obviously cold, was held in Ji Cixi's hand at this moment, but she felt as if it was scalding hot.

Who will be inside?

Chen Zhishan?

Her heart was pounding.

Nervous and scared?

I am very sure of that.

But Ji Cixi is not a cowardly person, if she felt that she couldn't do it, she wouldn't agree to Chen Yuanzhen in the first place.

She closed her eyes and turned the doorknob slightly.

There was a light "click" sound from the door lock, and the door was opened.

Ji Cixi suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes once again became like a still pool of water.

The person sitting in the box had his back facing her, Ji Cixi felt a little relieved when he saw that the person's figure was still very young.

Sure enough, it was impossible for Chen Zhishan to come to see her in person, a little shrimp.

However, she didn't go forward, but stood behind the man.

"Is it the courtesy of the Chen Group to invite people to meet but not to show them positively? Then I really learned a lot today."

Ji Cixi said coldly.

The man obviously heard Ji Cixi's questioning, but he didn't answer, nor did he stand up and turn around immediately.Instead, he raised his hand to pick up the purple sand teapot in his hand, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

Listening to the gurgling sound of tea being poured into the cup, Ji Cixi's heart gradually tightened.

"Since this is the case, it seems that there is no need for me and this gentleman to talk further, so I will take my leave first."

After Ji Cixi said in a cold voice, she turned around and walked towards the door.

Her hands gradually became cold due to tension. Although she looked calm on the surface, every nerve in her body was tense like a string.

Ever since he entered this teahouse, Ji Cixi knew that he had stepped into the opponent's territory and was completely under the opponent's control.

So if she couldn't regain the initiative when she really saw the other party, then after a while, she would really have to be beaten passively.

But what she did just now was undoubtedly a risk.

It's okay to succeed, but once she fails, she will undoubtedly throw away the only chance that might be close to her goal.

She is now betting on how much Chen Zhishan is curious about her.

Just when Ji Cixi had already walked to the door, and her hand was clung to the doorknob again, she suddenly heard the man put the teacup on the table.

"I was the one who neglected."

The man suddenly spoke.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Cixi heard the sound of the chair rattling.

The man stood up.

But Ji Cixi didn't turn around, but continued to wait for the other party to speak.

"I wonder if Miss Ji can accept my apology? Or, Miss Ji can tell me how to make amends."

Ji Cixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she turned around.

The man standing in front of him looked less than 40 years old, with good features and a medium height, about 1.7 meters, but his body proportions were very good, and he looked like a capable elite in a suit.

The man smiled, took a few steps forward, and approached Ji Cixi.

He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Miss Ji, my name is Gao Xiu."

Ji Cixi looked down at Gao Xiu's hand, and said expressionlessly: "Sorry, I'm not used to shaking hands with people."

After she finished speaking, she directly bypassed Gao Xiu, walked to the table where Gao Xiu was sitting just now, and sat down on the seat opposite him.

"Can you say what Mr. Gao said on the phone now?"

Gao Xiu looked at his outstretched hand, smiled indifferently and took it back.He turned around and walked slowly to his seat and sat down.

"Miss Ji is very rude when she speaks." He laughed.

"Mr. Gao, in the name of the company I applied for, asked me to meet with an inexplicable reason, and even sent a waiter to watch my every move as soon as I stepped into the teahouse."

Ji Cixi sneered.

"In terms of being polite, Mr. Gao must have been the first. What are you doing, the villain complained first?"

Gao Xiu smiled and said, "Staring at you? What is Miss Ji talking about? I'm just afraid that Miss Ji will not know the way when she comes here for the first time."

Ji Cixi didn't want to entangle with Gao Xiu anymore, and said directly: "Mr. Gao asked me to come here today, what is the reason?"

Hearing this, Gao Xiu just smiled and leaned over to pour a cup of tea for Ji Cixi.

"Since you've come to the teahouse, you should have a cup of tea."

Gao Xiu raised his eyes, and took a deep look at Ji Cixi.

"Miss Ji, please."

Ji Cixi was impatient for a long time, she didn't even look at the teacup, she said expressionlessly:

"Mr. Gao is really interesting." She said, reaching out to pick up the teacup, turning it up and down in front of her eyes.

"You said that you are from the Chen Group, but it has been a few months since I went to compete for your company's position. It is already suspicious that your company sent someone to find me at this time..."

She was speaking slowly, but suddenly she put down the teacup in her hand, and the purple sand teacup hit the table, making a loud noise.

"You are still talking about him now."

Ji Cixi's gaze was fixed on Gao Xiu's face, Gao Xiu's face was still smiling, but his eyes gradually became darker.

"The current world is not peaceful. If you were me, would you dare to drink the tea offered by a strange man?"

After Ji Cixi finished speaking, she bent her lips, lowered her voice, and said softly:

"So, instead of playing around with me here, you might as well speak up."
