Chapter 4: Bright Candidate

last update Last Updated: 2023-03-16 20:30:06

Since Jennifer's birthday party, Kevin has not gone out to meet or receive partners anymore.

The year-end projects are in the sprint stage, so he is forced to devote all his time to work if he wants to be worthy of the hot chair he is sitting in.

“Why is Venn late to work? It's already nine o'clock.” Kevin looked at the watch in his hand and grumbled.

It's been three years since Venn was recruited into Unicons Corporation to be Kevin's personal assistant, he never came late to the company.

He always comes before everyone, his fingerprint is always the first fingerprint printed on the timekeeper every morning.

Kevin was about to call his assistant when he heard a knock on the door. A few seconds later, Daniel walked in.

Daniel saw the disappointed expression of Unicons general manager, so he crept over to the sofa and sat down.

“Are you waiting for someone?” Daniel just poured tea into a cup and asked.

Kevin was just about to open his mouth to answer when the phone rang, stopping him.

Venn's phone number popped up, giving him an uneasy premonition.

He was late for work and now that he's calling, something must have gotten in his way.

On the phone was a female voice, informing him that her brother had an accident and had just come out of the operating room.

Because Venn was worried that his boss would be waiting for him, as soon as he was transferred to the recovery room, he asked his sister to notify Kevin.

“Which hospital is he in?” Kevin squeezed the pen in his hand and asked.

“City hospital. Fifth floor.” The girl's voice was still trembling.

“You tell him to rest assured and get treatment. I will visit him this afternoon.”

The sigh after Kevin's call made his younger brother feel tired as well.

Initially, Daniel came here to ask if his brother would join him on a volunteer trip to the mountains during the upcoming holiday.

But now he saw Kevin's tired look, so he decided to keep quiet, not asking anymore.

The completion of the franchise record of the fashion chain stores also means that the amount of work that Daniel undertakes increases.

In the past few months, the two of them rarely had time to talk to each other, even though they were living in the same house.

Daniel's schedule is packed with meetings with designers as well as people with high expertise in the field of fashion to convince them to come under his command and build a new empire.

He spends more days abroad than in his home country.

Only today, he was able to relax a little when the city's young business association called to inform him of the late autumn volunteering plan.

“What's up? What's the matter with whom?” Daniel narrowed his eyes and asked softly.

“Venn was in a traffic accident. He broke his leg. He must be out of work for at least a few months.”

After Kevin finished talking, he picked up the phone and called the human resources department, telling them to immediately post a new assistant job for him.

Although there are many people in the company, even if he closes his eyes, he can still choose a person to take Venn's position, but he doesn't want to.

This unpleasant character of his made even his brother uncomfortable.

“I'll lend you Emma. Hiring new people will only make you more tired. How can the new person be equal to the old one?” Daniel stood up leisurely and put his hands in his pockets, approaching his brother.

“Dislike. If they were the person next to me, they must be selected by me from the moment they entered Unicons.” Kevin was still attentively signing, not looking up.

“A lot of people will be disappointed. How much is the match rate? I'm guessing there will be more females than males.”

Daniel said while leaving the room.

When the door closed, Kevin let go of the pen, leaned back in his chair, and scratched his hair.

Work is pressing him every day, but Venn is suddenly hospitalized, making him feel like his right arm has been cut off.

His hand found a picture of a girl in traditional clothes lying deep in the desk drawer and pulled it out and looked at it as a way to relieve stress.

Every time he remembers her abandoning him just because she realizes that love with a poor criminal will not have a rosy future, he seems to be energized to handle the pile of documents.

“Emily.”

Kevin called her name softly and sighed again.

After he signed a few more documents, because he felt frustrated, he pushed open the door, stepped out onto the balcony, and looked down at the courtyard.

The distance was quite high so that the figures moving below that entered his field of vision became tiny, unable to clearly see who was who.

And of course, he also couldn't see the girl he just called walking through the main gate.

If Emily wants more time to move Kevin's heart, she has to create opportunities for herself to appear in front of him more often.

And she has no choice but to become an employee of Unicons Corporation.

If his parents are in need of a maid, perhaps she will also bring an application to their house to apply for a job because then, the opportunity will increase many times.

“You graduated from Fashion Future but don't want to work in this field?”

The female interviewer looked at Emily with wide eyes when she saw her certificate of excellence from a world-renowned fashion school.

“Because I really want to work at Unicons, but the corporation does not do business in this field.” Emily answered honestly.

To be honest, she still prefers working in fashion design.

She studied business administration because her father wanted her to have the knowledge to later inherit and develop the Wine Company.

Because she wants to create more attraction for her resume to attract the attention of employers, she has brought all of her degrees and certifications here.

The competition rate in the interview process at Unicons is very high and the employees working here are all excellent people with real abilities.

“Miss Emily, your profile is perfect, and you also have an outstanding appearance. You are really a good candidate for the position of Vice President of Sales of Unicons, but I think you should promote this degree. I want to inform you that the group is planning to enter the fashion and apparel segment. I hope you will be the first to help Deputy General Director Daniel implement his plan to dominate the domestic fashion industry.”

The smile on Emily's lips was brighter than ever. She did not expect that she would have the opportunity to satisfy and devote herself to her true passion in the process of flirting with Kevin.

If Daniel is her boss, that's fine. He is gentle and warm and he has accepted her as a friend so it will make her less pressured.

She believes that when Kevin sees her and Daniel close together, he will not be able to ignore her.

If she can't make her ex-lover like her, she will choose to make him hate her.

When the hate has reached its peak, he will gradually fall in love with her just like in the beginning, just like when they were both in college.

“Yes. There is nothing better than working in a field that you are passionate about. I would like to apply for that position.” Emily nodded in agreement.

“Starting point will be a design staff. Do you have any regrets?” The second female interviewer was a bit shy.

“No, everyone has to go from low to high. I don't mind moving from the position of a janitor to the chair of the department head.”

The confidence and progressive attitude, knowledge of the beautiful girl made the recruitment board satisfied.

For a whole week now, they have had to find the best candidates for the vacant positions.

Although Unicons Group has not yet started recruiting human resources for the fashion segment, because Emily's profile is so beautiful, they decided to save her for Deputy General Director Daniel.

“Miss. Emily.”

The sudden voice made Emily turn her head in surprise and she realized that the person calling her was Daniel.

His smile carrying the rays of the spring sunshine made her mood more comfortable after the interview minutes.

For Kevin, she has to find a way to approach him, but Daniel seems to be predestined because he always appears in front of her unexpectedly.

“Hello, Deputy General Manager. Do you know this girl?” The female employee in charge of the interview spoke up.

“She is my friend. How's it going? Did she pass?”

“Of course. Congratulations, she is an excellent student of Fashion Future so we have saved her for you.”

“Really?”

Daniel was delighted. He turned to ask Emily, and she nodded in affirmation as well.

He didn't expect the two of them to be so fortunate to work together.

Although he has invited many famous designers to join Unicons, he really needs young people like her.

The thinking between the generations is different, and he needs to enrich his own brand.

“No wonder your fashion style is very different. Simple, but it has its own unique ways. Why didn't I realize you're a fashion designer?” He blamed himself.

“Because I still haven't made any achievements or marks in the fashion industry, I don't dare to introduce myself to you. I'm sorry.”

“Come on, let's go to my office to drink tea and talk.”

He pointed to the ceiling and quickly walked away.

Emily also hurriedly followed in his footsteps.

Although Daniel knew she was the heir to the Wine company, he was not surprised to see her here for a job interview.

There was a precedent before that was Jennifer and countless heirs from corporations and companies in the country.

Most of them are fresh graduates or just returned from abroad, want to come here to work to gain experience and relationships, and then come back to take over the family company.

There are some people who will stay here for a long time because of disagreements with their parents or brothers.

However, Daniel knows that sooner or later they will still leave Unicons because family is the hardest thing to give up.

Earlier, Daniel went down to the interview room to see if there was anyone bright, hardworking, and suitable for the vacant position of Venn. And when he saw Emily, he didn't have to wait for anyone else.

    “Take a seat.”Daniel pointed to the sofa and slowly sat down, pouring tea into a cup.Emily smiled and did as he said. She glanced around the room. It seems that the layout and interior design of this place have partly reflected the interior, and personality of its owner, warm and friendly.“Please have tea.” He pushed the teacup closer to her hand and spoke softly.“Thank you. I really don't think I can be your employee.” She picked up the cup of tea and said.“Usually, the excellent new graduates who come out of Fashion Future will choose to stay in the world fashion capital. Why don't you choose to be like them? Is it because you still have an inheritance burden?”Daniel's question made Emily a little sad because she suddenly remembered the day she set foot at the airport.Originally, she also intended to stay in country A to forever forget the man she loved, but because her father told him to miss her and because he was unwell, she had to fly back.In the end, she couldn't ignore

    Seeing Kevin engrossed in documents and seemingly not paying attention to the presence of himself and the girl next to him, Daniel didn't know whether his brother agreed.“Would you accept her as your assistant?” Daniel asked his brother but his eyes looked at Emily.“He has already agreed. I will start my work from today.” She answered.“As I said, no one would refuse a potential employee. Please try to support him for a few months, then come back to me.”Daniel patted Emily's shoulder and quickly returned to his room to continue handling work.Waiting until the door closed, Kevin raised his head to look at the girl standing in front of him. He didn't expect her to lie with such confidence.“What should I do now?” Emily ventured to ask.She only received silence from Kevin. He just considered her invisible and didn't pay any attention to her. However, every time he suddenly looked up, he saw her staring at him so he felt uncomfortable.The more he thought about it, the angrier he bec

    Because Emily was engrossed in getting used to her new job, she didn't pay attention to the time. She opened all the data files on the computer to review the contents.The businesses of Wine Company and Unicons Group are completely different, so she was not surprised that when Kevin first hired her, he let her see his company's data at will.Even if the two companies are in the same industry and she gets the business secrets of the Unicons group, it doesn't mean anything when one side is an elephant and the other side is an ant. As soon as the ant raised its foot, it was already trampled by the elephant. What more could it hope to do?“When you leave the room, lock the door. If you keep the key, go to work early tomorrow. Don't forget that important meeting.”Hearing Kevin's voice, Emily realized it was already late afternoon. Glancing at the right corner of the computer screen and seeing that it was after five o'clock in the afternoon, she quickly turned off the computer and tidied u

    The moment the car driven by Brian stopped, autumn raindrops also fell one after another. The rain is not too heavy but enough to make people feel wet and cold.“Take it, Emily, if you get wet, you'll get sick.” Brian gave the light purple umbrella to her.“Thank you.”Emily smiled then pushed the car door open and got out. Her slim legs tapped on the quiet road.No matter how noisy and bustling the city is, just a passing rain makes the atmosphere become quiet, peaceful, and sad.“Kitty.”Her steps stopped when she discovered two white kittens lying in a paper box. Maybe their owner didn't want to keep them so they left them here. If they keep lying here like this, she's afraid they'll get cold and die.After looking around for a while, she bent down, lifted the cat box, and continued walking.That cute action of Emily caught Brian's eyes. The corner of his lips curled up in a smile.This girl is different from his sister. He believed that if he could bring her into the house to be J

    At exactly eight o'clock, senior leaders of SM company also arrived.

She still has no experience participating in important meetings like this.That year, she went abroad and had to start college all over again, and spent the first year learning a foreign language. So, while her peers in the country have been working for several years, she is a new graduate.After shaking hands and greeting each other, everyone sat down and flipped through the documents prepared on the table.However, what caught their eyes were the words that made them simultaneously stare at Kevin.“General Director, it seems your company's employees prepared the wrong documents.” A man spoke up.Kevin glanced at Emily.

    In the following days, occasionally, when Emily accidentally looked up, she immediately saw Kevin's eyes like two bullets. After all, she didn't even dare look at him anymore.She was originally in the position of a hunter, but now she suddenly felt like a rabbit trembling in front of the old wolf named Kevin.If she remembered correctly, his attitude turned a hundred and eighty degrees since Daniel walked out of the room that day.She wondered if it was because he saw her being close to his younger brother that he was upset. Should she be happy? At least, he will keep her by his side because he doesn't want her to be close to Daniel.After a while of staring at the computer screen, she risked looking at the man who was busy with a bunch of thick files on the table.“Kevin, this afternoon you have a dinner appointment with the city's president. Please take me with you…”“No need. You cannot drink alcohol. If you go there, you'll get drunk and I'll have to carry you back.”Emily was co

They only arranged to meet at the slope leading into the village with more than two hundred ethnic minority households.They did not know that Kevin replaced Daniel and he did not contact the delegation leader even though his younger brother gave him his phone number.He had looked up the route on the map so he could find his way there. As for Brian, he contacted and sat in the same car with the group leader.Emily is no longer Kevin's lover, so she doesn't dare ask him to peel shrimp for her. He only eats fish and squid, not shrimp.

    The water poured in more and more violently and the dark clouds above could no longer stand firm because they were too heavy. The rain suddenly fell.Emily trembled, trying to grip the tips of her toes on the rocks. On the opposite side of her, Kevin was also moving as fast as he could.- Don't go anymore, Emily, stand still and wait for me. – He shouted when he saw her almost slip.Obeying him, she did not move anymore. However, because she tried to cling tightly to the stream bed, she soon had cramps. Even though she tried not to move, the pain transmitted from her muscles made it impossible for her to hold on for long.“Emily, no...” Kevin panicked when he saw her suddenly fall.The stream of water suddenly widened the distance he was trying to close. Emily screamed in pain and floated down into the fast-flowing water.Her hands waved wildly, trying to find something to hold on to but in vain. The slippery, mossy rocks rejected her.

    After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.“Tomorrow, I'll take you home to visit my parents. Don't worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife's cheek and spoke.“Yes.”Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law.

    At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa's residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn't leave her alone at home, and he didn't feel secure if he took her with him.“Emily, sit down here and I'll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it's all for you.”Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa's suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.“I'm afraid you'll worry.

    When the party ended, Kevin's face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.“No.” She took a breath and replied.“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.It wasn't until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning's meeting that he laz

My phone ran out of battery so I didn't know you called. I'm sorry.” He gently stroked her hair, speaking in a low voice.“After this, I won't call you anymore.” She put the bouquet aside and spoke indifferently.“Don't, Emily, if you don't care about me, who will care about me?”Kevin reached out and hugged Emily's waist, resting his head in her lap.She is his stop after a day of traveling outside.
