Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 1

The night enveloped the sky.

In the north of the city, the CBD office building is still brightly lit.

After drinking the third cup of coffee tonight, Ji Xi straightened her back and sat in front of the workstation, tapping the keyboard with her slender fingers.

Writing reports is a basic task, boring, and generally falls on the interns.

Ji Xi is the latest batch of interns who have joined ZY Capital. He is currently in the third year of graduate school and is about to graduate.

ZY Capital is a domestic first-line VC organization, and people who work in ZY are usually labeled as elites.

Just being able to enter the ZY internship is already a jealous thing. Of course, whether or not they can transfer is another matter. ZY Capital has always had a pitifully small number of regular transfers.

Newcomers who can enter ZY are usually divided into two categories. One is the rich second-generation with a resource background, and the entry comes with project bonuses; the other is high-achieving students from prestigious schools, starting graduate students, and also have demanding academic performance requirements.

It cannot be said to be unfair. This is reality. People born with a golden spoon are themselves an advantage.

Ji Xi was not born with a golden key. She belongs to the second category.

Late at night, the office is quiet.

“Xiao Ji.” Shao Yu probed the probe towards Jixi, seeing that she was serious, so he asked softly, “Isn’t it all yet?”

Shao Yu is the investment manager of the consumer group and Ji Xi’s immediate boss.

Ji Xi was still typing and paying attention, and two hours passed without even changing her posture.

“Xiao Ji, send the document directly to my mailbox.” Shao Yu had to raise his voice, “I’ll get off work first.”

Ji Xi raised her head and said with a smile: “Well, I will send it to your mailbox when it’s done.”

“See you tomorrow.” Shao Yu lifted the briefcase and smiled, thinking that this girl is really interesting. She works like a robot, with extraordinary devotion.

Such an energetic newcomer is hard to come by.

The consumer group found the treasure.

Shao Yu came to ZY for almost four years and brought many interns. For the first time, he met such a newcomer who can endure hardships and never complain. She was still a girl.

He used to have prejudices and always felt that this business was bitter and tiring and not suitable for little girls to do, but now it has changed.

After all, it depends on the person, regardless of gender.

Finished the report, sent the email, and ended the day’s work. Ji Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and tiredness also struck.

It is a fake not to be tired every day in a state of high strength and high pressure.

The office is empty and it’s all off work. The cool white lights spread over the off-white office area, which is exceptionally deserted.

After simply cleaning up the desktop, Ji Xi was the last one to leave the office.

At the elevator entrance, several people were chatting quietly while waiting for the elevator.

“Working overtime until so late is exhausting.”

“The consumer group seems to be working overtime. I admire it.”

“Is it really that busy? I don’t think regular employees are as busy as her, it seems that we are too lazy.”

“One said, she looks pretty, she seems to be a school girl, is our company the prettiest?”

“You kid chase after your heart. If you have a chance, I heard that you’re still single.”

“Hey, let alone, it’s good to be beautiful. You can see her smile at the leader, and then she can follow the project, which is like our daily chores.”

The three interns in the same period are all boys.

There is a certain degree of gender discrimination in the financial circle. It can be seen that the majority of male employees can tell that women must be more outstanding if they want to stand out.

There are only two women in the top of ZY.

Standing not far away, Ji Xi deliberately increased his steps, causing the high heels and the porcelain floor to make a crisp sound, echoing in the corridor, attracting attention.

After several boys turned their heads to see Ji Xi, they immediately ended the chat. Put on a smiling face to say hello: “Goddess, it’s off work.”

It just so happened that the elevator came.

Ji Xi glanced at them, but also curled her lips perfunctorily. A smirk in the workplace is a must-have.

Yun Danfengqing walked into the elevator, Ji Xi pressed 1F. As if she hadn’t heard anything, she never cared about unnutritious gossip.

May is when the north is comfortable, the temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold.

Line 3 continues to be congested. People are crowded, and if there are dirty footprints on the shoes, it is often not known who stepped on it.

When I got out of the subway, the air was instantly refreshed, and the evening breeze blowing in my face was gentle. Ji Xi hooked up her long hair that was blown away, revealing a clean and beautiful forehead.

Not sleepy now.

It’s just that my stomach is empty and a little hungry.

Beimen Street outside the school is very lively, barbecue, spicy tang, fried skewers, all kinds of snacks are available. It’s easy to find something to eat to fill your stomach.

Ji Xi is used to saving time and trouble. She walked into the convenience store and took a box of instant noodles and asked the waiter to help make it.

The noodles are soaked in three minutes.

Ji Xi sat at the bar by the window, eating and browsing the latest financial news and industry information on his mobile phone.

The instant noodles are hot, drink a mouthful of soup, and warm all the way to the stomach. She loves to eat hot food, whether in winter or summer, the hotter the better. Feel warm and relieved.

The phone vibrated suddenly, and the screen switched to an incoming call reminder, displaying: Jiang Nian.

After Ji Xi finished her last bite of noodles, she connected the phone and put it in her ear, “Boss Jiang.”

The voice on the other end of the phone was hearty and straightforward: “Are you off work? Come and play, just in time, I will regret if I don’t come.”

I originally wanted to rest early tonight, but Jiang Nian’s game, Ji Xi thought about it and agreed, “Okay, come here now.”

The finance industry eats contacts. It doesn’t hurt to know more people. Communication is essential.

Ji Xi is well-connected and has a lot of friends, but she doesn’t have deep friendship with people, and she hardly has any intentions.

Jiang Nian is probably Ji Xi’s only friend who is at heart. I have known each other for six years.

Both of them are Q majors. They are alumni of the same class. Ji Xi is in the School of Economics and Management, and Jiang Nian is in the Academy of Fine Arts.

During her sophomore year, Ji Xi often went to the Academy of Fine Arts to take classes, and she became acquainted with Jiang Nian every time she came and went. After graduating from undergraduate, Ji Xi continued to study as a postgraduate in this school, and Jiang Nian became a small boss in entrepreneurship.

Jiang Nian is a native from the north, with a good family background, and his parents are both influential figures in the investment and finance industry. But Jiang Nian didn’t do this. Instead, he worked as a tattoo artist for a period of time. Now he has opened his own tattoo studio.

Because of Jiang Nian, Ji Xi had the opportunity to get in touch with circles that she couldn’t reach.

Jiang Nian was very interesting. Knowing that Ji Xi wanted to develop in the financial industry, she would recommend her friends and acquaintances in the industry from time to time.

Ji Xi first went back to the dormitory to change his shirt, and changed to a casual dress suitable for clubbing.

Wear a small suit over the skirt.

Refreshing and capable.

Time is a famous bar in the North Third Ring Road, not far from Q. Ji Xi is familiar with that, after all, she has been working part-time as a bartender for more than a year.

Knowing some wine and being able to drink is an advantage.

Ji Xi knew exactly what he wanted, no matter what he did, to get closer to his goal. No distractions.

After stepping into time with high heels, Ji Xi took off the draped coat and put it on his arm, wearing only a thin skirt, sling, and close to the body.

The height of 170, the waist is thin and the legs are long, the light and shadow reflect the beautiful figure and face, which can catch the eyes of many people.

Ji Xi walked outside with a high rate of turning her head when her shoulders were exposed. On the one hand, because she belongs to the good-looking category, and more importantly, because of the tattoo on her left shoulder.

A large area, eye-catching.

A cluster of Manzhushahua, coquettish and splendid. It spreads upward from the mouth of the heart, around the collarbone, and crawling towards the thin shoulders. Like a fire, it was ironed on the fair skin, almost covering half of his shoulder.

It looks like a smudged ink painting, which is quite artistic.

“The protagonist is here.”

“Here—”

It was Jiang Nian’s voice.

Ji Xi saw Jiang Nian holding a wine glass and beckoned to her.

Only after approaching.

“You are so beautiful today. For you, ninety-nine flowers.”

Ninety-nine red roses, a large bouquet of high-profile, bright and vivid. Ji Xi realized that the situation was not right and did not take it easily.

It was a girl who gave Ji Xi the red rose, her face flushed, and she seemed to have drunk.

The girl is very straightforward, and at the same time sending roses, she is straight to the point:

“Ji Xi, I like you.”

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere was instantly ignited, and the party turned into a confession game.

“Actually, when I first met, I wanted to chase you. I am not used to circumspect, you give me a chance to be my girlfriend, or I will be your girlfriend. You choose one of the two.”

It’s good to choose one of two.

Everyone laughed while watching the excitement.

It’s not like a joke.

Ji Xi looked at Red Rose and then at Jiang Nian. This time it was duly read by Jiang, and he said that he would regret it if he didn’t come.

Jiang Nian made an innocent look and looked helpless.

The onlookers were more excited than the parties involved.

“Together!”

“choose one!”

“Together!”

…

There was a humming sound.

Many people were attracted, and some began to take out their mobile phones and start filming videos. Handsome guys often confess to beautiful women, but beautiful women confess to beautiful women.

It’s not the first time that a girl has confessed it, but Ji Xi is calm and calm like an outsider.

After going to college, she discovered that it was common and normal for women to like women and men to like men. Not to mention it, Jiang Nian is Les.

Ji Xi’s reaction made the other party feel that there was a play.

The girl asked: “Then you agreed?!”

result-

“Sorry, I am not crooked. I have never considered falling in love. You are very good, and you will definitely meet a girl who suits you.” Ji Xi’s words are euphemistic, concise and logical. Finish speaking, leaving the other party with nothing to say.

Jiang Nian really admired Ji Xi’s calmness. To be precise, she had never seen Ji Xi panic when she was nervous.

Worthy of being a cold beauty recognized by Q.

This confession finally ended successfully as “still a friend”. But such a noise made the atmosphere somewhat embarrassing, so that the party broke up soon.

Jiang Nian guessed the ending of tonight.

She knows how hard it is to chase Ji Xi, because she has chased him and can be said to be completely immobile.

Jiang Nian was not a person who was hanged on a tree. Knowing that Ji Xi was a woman she couldn’t greet, it was more comfortable to be friends simply.

Having known each other for many years, Jiang Nian dare not say that he knows more about Ji Xi.

Ji Xi is very good, she is a goddess-level goddess, and a god-level goddess. But it just feels…

Like a emotionless machine.

I was obsessed with studying before, but now I am obsessed with work. Don’t talk about emotional matters.

Jiang Nian wondered more than once whether Ji Xi had been emotionally injured, so that’s why.

Jiang Nian asked about this.

Ji Xi said no.

Jiang Nian felt more and more that she had suffered a deep emotional injury.

Waiting for everyone to disperse. Ji Xi asked: “Just let me come over this matter?”

“I was forced by them. There will be no next time. I promise that there won’t be!” Jiang Nian first cleared up the relationship and added: “Besides, what if you have a good impression of her? I am also in the beauty of adulthood. Your heart is concerned about your life-long events.”

Ji Xi glanced at Jiang Nian, just wanting to see the excitement, but it was so refreshing and refined.

“Why didn’t you agree just now? Everyone likes you so much. They’re all single. It doesn’t matter if you try.”

Ji Xi hasn’t spoken yet.

“Mind if she’s a woman?” Jiang Nian opened his mouth and began to crackle. “What age is it, you don’t want to be so deadly with gender. A woman is so gentle and considerate, you’ll know after one try.”

Ji Xi, who has never even considered falling in love, has never considered sexual orientation.

She couldn’t talk about this topic, and she had no common language with Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian probably belongs to the type of death if he doesn’t fall in love. Ji Xi is rational and believes that falling in love is a project with high investment, high risk, and low rate of return. She has no energy to think about it, nor is she interested in thinking about it.

“Can we change the subject?”

“Seriously, you didn’t reflect on it. Why do women always confess to you?” Jiang Nian asked back.

Ji Xi corrected: “Add you to two.”

“…” Jiang Nian looked at Ji Xi carefully, for a while, she analyzed it in a certain way: “You, it feels special Ji. That is, do you understand that feeling?”

Jiang Nian admitted that a clean, cold and sassy woman like Ji Xi is indeed very attractive in the circle. She has been attracted by herself.

Ji Xi doesn’t give face: “I don’t understand.”

Jiang Nian changed his words: “Then I will introduce you a few tall, rich and handsome. Nourish your life.”

Ji Xi whispered again: “Not interested.”

With a face that eats all men and women, neither men nor men eat. Jiang Nian wondered, isn’t this a waste of resources?

“Miss Ji, are you interested in anything besides work and painting? You will die alone.”

Jiang Nian was right, except for making money and painting. Ji Xi didn’t pay attention to other things, didn’t care, didn’t care.

“It’s been a long time since we saw each other. Let’s have a drink alone.” Ji Xi managed to change the subject.

“Of course, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

“I’ll go to the bathroom first.” Ji Xi got up.

“I am going too.”

Jiang Nian went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. She said that she had been empty for half a year, and she would be abandoning her single life. Therefore, we must always remain beautiful and meet the fate of the peach blossom.

Ji Xi just listened and didn’t express any thoughts.

In the bathroom.

“Not good yet?” Ji Xi pulled a tissue and wiped her wet hands.

Jiang Nian narcissistically looked left and right in the mirror, “Immediately, or you should go out first.”

“Waiting for you outside.”

Ji Xi balled the tissues in his hand and threw it into the trash can. He happened to receive a WeChat message that someone in the department group @ asked about the progress of the work. She lowered her head to reply to the message, and walked outside.

When I walked to the corner, I didn’t pay attention, and suddenly bumped into it recklessly, and bumped into someone full of heart.

Slightly painful.

Seeing that the other party was not standing firmly, Ji Xi immediately stretched out her hand to embrace her, put her arm around her waist, and kindly helped her.

In this way, the two were attached to each other.

The face is also close.

The smell of perfume from the tip of the nose is filled with wine, and the faint, refreshing fragrance can only be smelled when it is close.

Ji Xi usually uses some perfume, which is also light.

The right fragrance makes people feel comfortable, so that Ji Xi, who is used to keeping a certain distance from others, does not resist this hug.

“Sorry.”

“Sorry.”

The two voices were attached to each other softly, unexpectedly tacitly.

Ji Xi was about to pull the distance away, but when she lifted her eyes to see the person in her arms, she was stunned.
