[Warm, aloof, composed veteran headhunter] vs. [Devoted, handsome interviewer in internet technology]
A story about the workplace, marriage, family, interviewers, and headhunters.
Xu Lingxi always felt that she had never been very lucky. Her family was broken, she missed out on her dream university by one point on the college entrance exam, and the man she had dated for seven years cheated on her. She only found out when he was about to dump her.
Just a few months after the breakup, she found herself clinging to the well-paid interviewer at a client company, whose annual salary was in the millions.
Only later did she realize that all her good luck had been saved for meeting Gu Yan.
Xu Lingxi had been with Zhou Mingyuan for seven years, but he still hadn't proposed.
When Zhou Mingyuan asked to borrow 250,000 yuan to buy a home for their marriage, she held on to her last bit of hope and wanted to give their seven-year relationship some closure.
Until she saw his chat with another woman.
“I've got enough money for the house. Let's go with the one you liked last time. I'll pay the down payment, and I'll put your name on it.”
“What about getting married?”
“My mom says we have to buy a house before we can register our marriage. Besides, you still haven't broken up with her!”
She turned around and found a way to get her money back, then gently hooked an arm around her client-side interviewer’s neck. Her voice was soft and sweet. “Gu Yan, do you want me...?”
