I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: He Fulfilled All Her Aesthetic Criteria

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not expect this novel to have so many hidden good-looking characters.

It was fine if Lu Bei was good-looking. After all, he was the male lead, and he had the aura of the male lead. She could also understand why Lu Wanggui, a 39-year-old man, did not look like a 39-year-old man at all. Dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. It made sense for the father of the male lead of the novel to have the same aura.

If Lu Wanggui was not handsome, could he have a son like Lu Bei who was even more handsome than a popular celebrity?

But who could explain to her why a random person who came to apply for a job was also so handsome? Don’t tell her that there were many handsome people in this world. Such words were all lies.

With this face, if it was in Xiang Xiaoyuan’s previous world, he would be recruited by a talent scout.

“Xu Xiyao?”

Even though Xiang Xiaoyuan had already heard his self-introduction, she still wanted to confirm it.

“Yes, I am.”

Xu Xiyao nodded, his face was as handsome as a star. “I talked to you on the phone just now.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan stood up and gestured for him to take a seat on a chair at the side. “Do you have your ID card?” After a pause, she added, “The usual procedure requires a registration.”

Xu Xiyao took out his ID card and handed it over. His fingers were long and slender, and his nails were clean and fresh. It was clear that he was a clean boy.

This person had fulfilled all her aesthetic criteria. She had already made up her mind to hire him as a shop assistant. She took the ID card and looked at it. Just as he said, he was eighteen years old.

Putting down the ID card, Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and asked him, “Do you mind if I ask you a more personal question?”

Xu Xiyao’s expression was calm. He was not as arrogant for someone his age. On the contrary, if she did not know that he had just turned 18, she would have thought that he was about the same age as her at first glance.

“I don’t mind. Please ask.”

“Logically speaking, with your qualifications, you can find a better job. Why did you choose to be a convenience store employee? Of course, I’m not saying that my convenience store isn’t good. I just feel that you can find a job that is easier and has a higher salary.” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled. “So, why did you come here to apply for a job? My question is quite impolite, but you could understand why I asked.”

Xu Xiyao raised his head and his gaze met Xiang Xiaoyuan’s.

His gaze was completely different from Lu Wanggui’s. If Lu Wanggui’s gaze was like an ancient well without any ripples that was mysterious and unfathomable. However, Xu Xiyao’s gaze was like a clear spring that could be seen to the bottom with a single glance.

He calmly explained, “I’ve just become an adult and have higher requirements for working hours. Your job here is the most reasonable for me. Jobs with easy work and high pay are reserved for those who have a skill. Obviously, I don’t have the ability now.”

His words made Xiang Xiaoyuan have a good impression of him.

It was rare to be so self-aware at this age!

She nodded. “Okay, then do you have any objections regarding the salary?”

“No.”

“You said on the phone that you can work the day and night shift in the near future. Are you sure your body can handle it?”

“No problem.” Xu Xiyao nodded. “I used to work part-time at a convenience store.”

“Okay, that’s it then. You can come here for a trial period of three days. After you become a full-time employee, you can work both the day and night shift. I’ll give you a little more on top of your original salary. We’ll talk about the work arrangements after September. What do you think?”

“Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt relieved. No matter what, she had finally solved the staffing problem before the opening. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do after the opening. Ask people from the villa? But that was the last resort. If it was possible, she didn’t want to trouble the people in the villa.

“The convenience store will open tomorrow. If it’s possible, you should come here as early as possible.”

Xu Xiyao nodded, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he got up and went to tidy up the messy things not far away. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s gaze followed him. Seeing that his actions were swift, she was even more satisfied.

This employee was good!

Her taste was really good!

…

Lu Corporation Building.

Gao Yuan came to the office as usual to report to Lu Wanggui about his upcoming schedule and the general work content.

Lu Wanggui’s office was decorated just like him. It was cold and boring, mainly in black, white, and gray. The room was spotless, and once Lu Wanggui was at work, no one dared to disturb him.

Gao Yuan was about to leave after reporting his work, but Lu Wanggui suddenly stopped him. “The convenience store is opening tomorrow. Don’t forget to order some flower baskets for her.”

Until now, Lu Wanggui didn’t know how to address Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Gao Yuan and Lu Wanggui had a tacit understanding about Xiang Xiaoyuan. When he heard ‘she’, he knew it meant Xiang Xiaoyuan.
